Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Chapter 78 Promotion and Salary Increase

Qiu Yingying returned to her workstation, placing her phone face down on the table as if creating a psychological barrier for herself. She took a deep breath, turned on her computer, and forced herself to focus all her attention back on the Guokun Group's project.

The chaos in the meeting room and the tension on the phone were temporarily locked away in her heart. She told herself that the most important thing now was to do this project to the best of her ability.

She reorganized the framework of the plan, piecing together the previously interrupted train of thought. Guo Kun had high standards, especially for General Manager Meng, who, although not directly in charge of execution, had extremely discerning eyes. She dared not be careless in the slightest, even repeatedly scrutinizing the wording of the copy.

"Yingying, are you alright?" a colleague asked quietly. "We were all a little worried when you suddenly ran out."

"It's nothing," Qiu Yingying looked up and smiled. "I had a bit of low blood sugar, but I'm fine now. We'll have a short meeting at three o'clock this afternoon to go over Guokun's plan again."

Her tone was calm, revealing no emotion. Her colleagues nodded and went about their business.

Qiu Yingying spent the entire afternoon immersed in her work. Her keyboard flew across the keyboard, and the plan gradually became complete on the screen. Occasionally, a colleague would ask a question, and she could quickly provide a clear answer.

This state surprised even herself. In the past, when faced with stress, she would experience anxiety, insomnia, and even binge eating to relieve it. But this time, she was truly focused and enjoying the process of solving the problem.

By evening, she had finally finished organizing the first draft of the plan. Stretching, she looked at the dense text and charts on the screen and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Chief Qiu, here is the latest data you requested." The assistant placed the file on her desk.

"Thank you." Qiu Yingying quickly flipped through the document. "Could you turn these into visualizations and put them into PowerPoint tomorrow morning?"

"OK."

After her assistant left, Qiu Yingying glanced at the time; it was already past seven. The office was quiet, with few people around, and you could hear the air conditioner humming.

She hesitated for a moment, but still opened the chat box with Guo Kun, the project manager.

[Manager Li, I've finished preparing the initial draft of the proposal for the Guokun project. I'll have my assistant send it to you tomorrow morning. If it's convenient for you, we can schedule a time for me to present it to you in person.]

She felt a little relieved after the message was successfully sent.

Not long after, the phone lit up.

[Sure. We'll meet at Guokun's conference room tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. President Meng will also be there.]

Upon seeing the words "President Meng will also be listening in," Qiu Yingying couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest.

But she quickly regained her composure.

I was just listening in.

It's just work.

At 10 a.m. the next day, Qiu Yingying appeared at Guokun Group on time.

She wore a simple white shirt and black suit pants, her hair was neatly tied up, and she looked capable and energetic.

The conference room door was pushed open, and Li Ran, Guokun's project manager, walked in, followed by several team members.

"Good morning, Qiu Zu," Li Ran greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Manager Li."

Everyone took their seats one after another.

A few minutes later, the conference room door was pushed open again.

Meng Yanchen walked in.

He was wearing a dark gray suit and a light gray shirt today, without a tie, looking more casual than usual. His eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were still deep, but when he saw her, he paused for a second before regaining his composure.

He sat down next to the head of the table without saying a word, simply flipping through the documents in front of him with a composed demeanor.

Qiu Yingying tried her best to keep her eyes on the plan and not look at him.

"Let's begin then," Li Ran said, presiding over the meeting. "Team Leader Qiu, could you please explain the plan to us?"

"Okay." Qiu Yingying turned on her computer and began her report.

Her voice was steady, clear, and logically sound, explaining the key points of the plan very thoroughly.

The meeting room was quiet, with only her voice and the sound of turning over documents.

Meng Yanchen remained silent, only occasionally flipping through documents and glancing up at her.

That gaze wasn't sharp or intimidating, yet it made Qiu Yingying inexplicably nervous.

She tried to stay focused.

After the presentation, Li Ran spoke first: "Overall, the plan is much more mature than last time, and the ideas are clearer. I have a few suggestions that I'd like to discuss with you."

"Please go ahead," Qiu Yingying said, taking out her notebook.

Over the next few minutes, she and Li Ran discussed the details of the plan. Meng Yanchen would occasionally look up, seemingly listening attentively, but he didn't directly participate.

When the discussion reached a crucial point, Li Ran looked at him and asked, "President Meng, what are your thoughts?"

Meng Yanchen put down the documents and said calmly, "This direction is acceptable. But we need to reduce the budget a bit more."

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

"Okay, we'll adjust it," Qiu Yingying replied immediately.

"Also," Meng Yanchen's gaze fell on her, "we need to shift the brand's image a bit more towards the high-end."

"clear."

After he finished speaking, he said no more and resumed listening.

The meeting continued.

The discussion ended close to noon.

"That's all for today." Li Ran closed the file. "If we revise it according to the direction we just discussed, it should be finalized."

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Qiu Yingying put away her notebook. "Then I'll head back now, Manager Li."

"Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Qiu."

She got up to leave, and as she reached the door, Meng Yanchen suddenly spoke up: "Team Leader Qiu."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Qiu Yingying stopped and turned around: "President Meng, is there anything else?"

"Take care and get some rest," he said calmly. "And thank you."

Qiu Yingying paused for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you for your concern, President Meng."

She pushed open the door and went out.

……

In the days that followed, Qiu Yingying devoted all her energy to revising the plan.

She primarily liaised with Li Ran, communicating details and adjusting plans. Meng Yanchen rarely appeared directly, only conveying opinions through Li Ran at key junctures.

Occasionally, she would run into Meng Yanchen at the coffee shop downstairs from the company.

He usually sits alone by the window reading documents.

Every time they met, he would nod slightly in acknowledgment, and she would politely reply with "Hello, Mr. Meng."

Simple, restrained, and professional.

But for some reason, Qiu Yingying's heart would skip a beat every time their eyes met.

She quickly suppressed these emotions.

He is the boss of Party A, and she is the person in charge of Party B.

Their relationship can only be professional.

More than half a month later, the Guokun project plan was finally finalized.

At the final proposal meeting, Qiu Yingying appeared remarkably composed. She was confident, clear, and logically sound, explaining the highlights of her proposal thoroughly.

The senior executives of Guokun listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

Meng Yanchen sat beside the main seat, still in a listening posture. But he seemed to be looking at her more often than last time.

Applause rang out in the meeting room after the proposal was submitted.

"Excellent!" Li Ran praised first. "Qiu's team's plan is brilliant, and we are very satisfied."

"Thank you." Qiu Yingying bowed, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Li Ran stood up and shook hands with her.

Meng Yanchen also stood up, looked at her, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The tone was soft, yet it carried a sense of certainty.

Qiu Yingying felt a warmth in her heart: "It's only right."

……

The news of the successful signing of the Guokun project quickly spread throughout the company.

"Yingying, you're amazing!"

"Chief Qiu, you've done a great job this time!"

Colleagues offered their congratulations.

"This is the result of everyone's hard work," Qiu Yingying said with a smile, unable to hide her joy.

"Qiu Yingying, come to my office." The boss called from the doorway.

"OK."

Qiu Yingying followed the boss into the office.

"sit."

The boss looked at her and smiled with satisfaction: "You did an excellent job on Guokun's project this time. Manager Li called specifically to praise you, saying you are professional, responsible, and capable. President Meng also spoke highly of you."

Qiu Yingying was somewhat surprised: "President Meng, he..."

"Yes," the boss nodded, "It's not easy to gain his approval."

He paused, then continued, "After a meeting, the company has decided that starting next month, you will be promoted from project team leader to deputy project manager, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan plus a performance bonus of 5,000 yuan."

Qiu Yingying was stunned, her surprise almost overflowing: "Boss, this..."

"You deserve this," the boss said, looking at her. "Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, boss!" Qiu Yingying stood up excitedly and bowed. "I will definitely work even harder!"

As she walked out of her boss's office, she was still deeply moved.

She got a promotion and a raise. This was the result of all her hard work.

This sense of accomplishment gave her an overwhelming feeling of security.
