My Terrible Life in Those Years

Although I know some of the history of the middle and senior management, have a preliminary understanding of the company's power structure, and know about the power struggle between Aunt Shu and Manager Wu, what role can I play in this plan?

Still not!

I felt extremely uneasy all afternoon, glancing every now and then at the vice president's office near my seat.

I wish she would invite me in and show me the way!

Actually, if I hadn't met Wan Ning, hadn't gotten to know her, and hadn't had Cheng Zai in between, this problem wouldn't have been a problem for me at all.

All I need to do is focus on my job in sales.

However, I cannot accept this outcome if things are allowed to continue as they are.

I took out a piece of paper, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and wrote down the complicated situation I was facing.

The top part reads "General Manager Liu" and "General Manager Shu".

Below are Sales Department 1 and Sales Department 2.

Below Wu Bo's name are four large, blood-red characters: "This renovation plan is full of shady dealings!"

Next up were the surveyors, the village committee, Chengzai, Kangning, Wanning, and the barbecue stall!

Where is the breakthrough?

Currently, the only people in the company capable of making a difference in the overall plan are General Manager Liu and General Manager Shu.

I've never even met Mr. Liu. Who knows if he'll take charge of this matter? And what his attitude will be? He's unlikely to be the key to our success.

Aunt Shu made it clear that she didn't want to get involved in this plan; she had made her stance clear during the previous meeting.

I shook my head, thinking that her reluctance to get involved in this case this time was probably a gesture of goodwill towards Manager Wu, as she had previously divided Manager Wu's power.

After all, Manager Wu is also an old member of General Manager Liu's faction, and it's impossible to keep suppressing him, as it could easily cause trouble.

Then, the outside party is naturally the village committee, which I can't possibly count on.

They probably already had connections with Manager Wu long ago to get this project going, and things are almost done. They're just waiting for the plan to be finalized and then submitted so construction can begin immediately.

How could they possibly give up such a huge piece of meat?

Forget about surveying companies. They're just outsourcing companies; it's just a technical job, and they can't really play any role.

As I typed out each X, a chill ran through me.

Carefully tear the paper into pieces and throw it in the trash can.

He grabbed his hair hard, feeling frustrated, when suddenly his eyes fell on the phone on the computer desk keyboard.

cell phone?

A bold idea suddenly popped into my head.

Is Aunt Shu really only doing this for what she said, when she gave herself a cell phone?

When I was reporting my work to her, she didn't seem to be stopping or scolding me in the message!

Could it be?

The thought exploded in my mind like a spark.

Another possibility has formed in my mind!

I quickly went through the details of receiving the proposal, her arrangement of me into the sales department and the project team, her obvious delegation of authority, and Manager Wu's wariness of her. I took out a new piece of paper and wrote a big "Shu" on it!

Is it possible that Aunt Shu deliberately put me in the first sales department and the project team, so that I could find a weakness in this seemingly impenetrable department, and then she would have the opportunity to make adjustments to the department again?

How can we confirm what Aunt Shu is thinking and what she will do?

Just as I was lost in thought, I saw Liu Mei leading a guest straight into the vice president's office.

I know this person.

It's Manager Chen from LE Company! We had drinks together last time.

I frowned. Why is this person suddenly coming to the company?

Manager Chen saw me from afar, quickened his pace slightly, and reached out his hand.

I quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Manager Chen, hello! You have time to come up to our company today?"

How could I not laugh? This company gave me a bonus of 10,000 yuan!

"Mr. Jiang, hello, hello!"

Liu Mei glanced at him in surprise, then at me, completely baffled as to why he would call me "Little President Jiang."

"I just happened to be passing by today and thought I'd drop by to see Mr. Shu. Shall we go in together?"

Liu Mei quickly passed the work to me: "Then let me, Mr. Jiang, take you inside. I'll go prepare some tea for you!"

He felt very proud to see me leading the way.

I had a great time the whole way.

As I passed by Sales Department 1, Manager Wu was coming out of his office. When he saw Manager Chen, they didn't speak, but I saw them nod to each other in greeting.

I had a feeling that these two seemed to know each other somewhat!

When Aunt Shu saw Manager Chen enter, she immediately came over from her seat and invited him to sit down on the large sofa in the reception room.

"Manager Chen, what brings you here so suddenly today? Why didn't you let me know beforehand so I could make the necessary arrangements?"

"I was just out running errands and happened to be passing by when I received a call from General Manager Zeng. That's why I came up here on a whim, hoping to see if General Manager Shu was in the company. And guess what? I was really lucky! Not only was General Manager Jiang here, but General Manager Shu was here too!"

When Mr. Zeng wasn't here, I discovered that this Manager Chen was also an exceptionally eloquent person!

The two of them were exchanging witty remarks and chatting idly. After Liu Mei brought the tea, I was about to leave with her when Manager Chen called out to me, "Mr. Jiang, this is the first time I've met you at the company. Let's sit down together!"

He patted the sofa, gesturing for me to sit down with him.

I glanced at Aunt Shu and saw her nod slightly before sitting down on the sofa opposite him.

Does this guy really think I'm some kind of junior CEO Jiang?

Judging from his appearance, he must have something to discuss with Aunt Shu today. Moreover, he came without an appointment and was so certain that Aunt Shu was at the company today. It would be strange if no one informed him of his schedule!

"Manager Chen, you've come up here today because you have something to say, right? Please speak frankly!"

When Aunt Shu saw Liu Mei close the door behind her as she left, she went straight to the point and asked her question.

"Well done, Ms. Shu is indeed a heroine, with her usual decisive and efficient style."

He paused for a moment and glanced at me again.

"I came up here today because I really need to ask Mr. Shu for some face!"

Aunt Shu didn't interrupt, quietly waiting for him to make his move.

"I heard your company just had a major redevelopment project in Xiancun? There are some prime locations planned there?"

Aunt Shu and I were both shocked.

Their information network is incredibly efficient! If they hadn't been tipped off by insiders, how could they have found out the very next day?

"That's true, but it's still in the preliminary research stage. I wonder where Manager Chen got this information from?"
