“No, this time is different. Those are just child’s play, but… this time, there’s someone helping her from behind. This person’s goal is very clear: to make you commit a big mistake at work…”
The furrow between her eyebrows deepened at this.
“Manager, you must be careful.”
He looked at her with worry and gravity.
Her fingers slowly curled up as her eyes flashed with perplexity.
Someone wants to make me commit a big mistake?
She sucked in a deep breath and looked at him. With a frosty tone, she asked, “Did you see who that person is?”
Who is that vicious person? Who hates me enough to want my downfall?
I shouldn’t have offended anyone as I’ve always approached people with a friendly attitude…
Who could it be…
A figure suddenly flashed past her mind.
Ah! That person should be…
“Manager, t-that person…”
He raised his head with a look of hesitation.
It seems that it’s someone who can’t be named aloud.
“Is this person a woman?”
She scoffed, her gaze turning icy.
Talent Xiong seemed to be shocked as he subconsciously nodded. “Y-Yes. How did manager know?”
“I also know that her surname is Qiao.”
She nudged her lips and said with certainty.
“You’re truly amazing! How did you know?!”
He looked at her in utter shock.
“Is it that hard to guess?”
She rolled her eyes inside.
The only ones who hate me are my cousin and that woman.
My cousin has no influence in the Ji Group and it’s even doubtful if she can set foot inside the company.
That woman is different, though. Not only is she Ji Ziming’s benefactor, before me, there’s only ever her by his side to claim ownership of him.
As long as they’re the Ji Group employees, they are likely to treat her differently.
Although everyone here knows that I’m the CEO’s girlfriend, her influence will always be present in this company.
“Supervisor, what I can’t understand is your intention for doing this.”
She smiled at the shocked man.
“Er…” He rubbed his nose sheepishly and peeked at her before he carefully said, “If… I say that I am on your side, will you believe me?”
“I do; why wouldn’t I?” She shrugged nonchalantly. “Still, I’m new here and don’t have much power. Don’t you think that it’s a loss for you to be on my side?”
His head moved left and right as he hastily refuted, “No, no, no. Manager, you are really underestimating yourself. Never mind how capable you are, just your network alone is far above the director.”
She quickly understood why this man had taken her side at this point.
It turned out that he was counting on her boyfriend, who was evidently backing her.
“Plus, under the director, I can only be a supervisor…” he desolately added, his voice filled with wry.
Raising a brow, she looked straight at him and said evenly, “I understand.”
“Then… does that mean that you agree to me following you?”
He blinked and looked at her excitedly.
“Stop talking so formally to me. It feels so awkward.” Her lips curled up. “From now on, I’ll be relying on your guidance on some things in this department, supervisor Xiong.”
The man was not stupid and quickly understood what she meant, so he furiously nodded in acquiescence.
“Yes, yes, yes! Manager, rest assured; I’ll properly guide you!”
…
After that matter with that supervisor, she returned to her office. She picked up and put down her phone several times, seemingly undecided over calling someone.
Just as she mustered up the courage to make a call, a series of knocks sounded at her door.
Knock, knock, knock!
She put down her phone.
“Come in.”
When the door was opened, the person who walked in was not her assistant but…
“Senior? Why are you here?”
She looked at Fu Mingxuan in surprise and confusion.
“Why? Can’t I come here?”
The man smiled gently at her and stopped in front of her desk.
“Of course, it’s not like that.” She shook her head and continued softly. “Still, do have a matter to discuss with me?”
“Yes, I have a business proposal for you.”
As he said that, he took a seat in the chair on the other side of her desk.
“Business? What business?”
She was even more confused at this, clueless on what business he could have with her.
“I heard that you are now the planning department’s manager, so I’m here to talk about a project with you…”
After hearing him out, her eyes twinkled as she smiled at the polite man sitting across her.
“Senior, are you for real? You really want to work with me on a project?”
“Of course. Don’t let one’s fertile water flow into another’s field. Since my company has to collaborate with this one, anyway, then I’d rather look for you to handle it.”
He nodded and smiled sincerely. “Plus, I heard… about your present situation isn’t really good…”
Seeing him biting his tongue, she got why he had come looking for her.
He was trying to help her.
“Senior, thank you; I’m really very grateful.”
“Silly, there’s nothing for you to thank me about.”
She smiled at him. Her gloominess was all but gone.
Since he was sending this opportunity at her doorstep, she… did not have to look for her boyfriend anymore. After all, looking for him was her last resort…
That’s why you must work extra harder! Prove to those underestimating and belittling you that you have capabilities!
