Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Pan’s mornings were chaotic like war, because with Joy, there are tons of nitty-gritties she had to handle every morning.
She had just stepped into the office when the managing director sent an email asking everyone to prepare for a meeting with the CEO this afternoon to discuss everyone’s projects.
Gu Group was one of the largest companies in the country. Many companies clamored to work with them. Now that her company was a subsidiary of Gu Group, it had also become quite popular.
However, the tender issuer this time, Su Corporation, was a dark horse for winning the bid for two pieces of land sold by the government; they were now looking for partners. Many companies were eager to put in a bid, and her company was no exception.
The tender issued by Su Corporation was now a key project for the company. After all, they had just been acquired and everyone was eager to perform.
It was understandable that everyone valued such a project, but Shu Pan felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of Gu Shaoting coming to the office in the afternoon. She hoped that he wouldn’t throw out any surprises.
Shu Pan was a little distracted because of him but she pulled her focus back so that her work wouldn’t be affected.
“Shu Pan, the CEO is coming here for a meeting this afternoon. Do you want to go home and dress up?” Tang Wei whispered to Shu Pan.
Shu Pan held her forehead in exasperation. “The CEO is coming here for a
meeting, not to watch a beauty pageant.”
“I just can’t stand that plastic surgery addict. The moment she got the email from the managing director about the CEO coming this afternoon, she said that she needs to go out later at noon. She’s probably going home to change.” Tang Wei said begrudgingly.
“You can also go home and change?” Shu Pan didn’t understand why Tang Wei was so angry.
“Do you think I don’t want to? But look at my figure and looks. It’s useless even if I put on an empress’ outfit. I have that bit of self-awareness, but you are different. You have the right curves, a pleasant personality, and you are a domestic goddess. Plus, you’re making a presentation to the CEO later. So, you must first beat her in terms of appearance.” Tang Wei used all the positive adjectives she could think of, hoping that Shu Pan would beat MO Lan.
“Stop, I’m definitely not the person you are talking about. Besides, I’m not interested in seducing the CEO. I believe that if the CEO decides to put our team in charge, it’s because of our capability, not our looks.” Shu Pan replied with a smile as she surrendered to Tang Wei’s warped logic.
“What a waste of the good looks that the heavens gave you.” Tang Wei said regretfully. She just didn’t want to see MO Lan’s smug look.
Shu Pan didn’t want to discuss this with Tang Wei anymore and walked away.
In the afternoon, Shu Pan and a few colleagues in her team went into the conference room ahead of time to get the meeting materials ready. They had started preparation when the tender was issued so they weren’t panicking now.
“Shu Pan, I’m rooting for you. Everyone here recognizes your capabilities and wishes you the best. Don’t worry too much.” Tang Wei knew that Shu Pan was slightly nervous because she would be presenting for their team.
Tang Wei was in the same project team now. Shu Pan was the team lead and she was the deputy, an arrangement determined after the company was acquired.
Another male colleague also leaned over and said, “Shu Pan, I believe we can do it.”
Shu Pan, who was calm initially, got nervous again when she heard what they qnid
Shu Pan was now in charge of the team. She felt that she had the greatest responsibility and needed to consider things more comprehensively than the rest.
She knew that Gu Shaoting kept his work and personal life separate. She was not worried that he would go easy on her. After all, this was about the company’s interests and reputation..
