Tiansheng Company

Yao Lanlan was working diligently in front of the computer as usual when she suddenly felt someone patting her on the back. When she looked up, she saw that it was Li Quan, the deputy manager of their business department.

Li Quan said to Yao Lanlan meaningfully, "Xiao Yao, come to my office."

Yao Lanlan replied naively, "Oh, OK, Manager Li."

Immediately, Yao Lanlan stood up and followed Li Quan to his office.

In a place where Yao Lanlan couldn't see, the colleagues around her seemed to be doing their own work, but they were all more careful. They quietly raised their heads from the computer and paid attention to every move of Yao Lanlan and Li Quan.

As soon as Li Quan brought Yao Lanlan to the office, he locked the door very naturally.

Then he said to Yao Lanlan, "Xiao Yao, do you know why I called you to my office alone?"

Yao Lanlan, looking confused, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Li Quan chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of meaning. "Of course I'm looking for you alone because I have something good to say. I've got a big real estate project on my hands lately, and I need someone to work with me to discuss the details with the other company. After get off work tonight, please stay with me and accompany me to meet the client."

Yao Lanlan was extremely puzzled. "You want me to meet with you, the manager, to meet with the client? But Manager Li, I've only just arrived. I haven't even finished the work assigned to me by my previous colleague. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to start a new project now."

Yao Lanlan is a newcomer. She has only been at Tiansheng for less than half a month and is still in the internship stage. Although Tiansheng is a large company with very detailed division of labor, everyone has their own responsibilities and there is no overlapping of work content. However, Yao Lanlan's current position is rather special. She needs to deal with colleagues from many departments, involving many people and complicated tasks. Because of this, Yao Lanlan has not yet completely handed over the work left by her previous colleague in almost half a month.

She hadn't fully figured out her own duties yet, and now her manager needed her to take over a new project, which naturally caught the fledgling Yao Lanlan off guard.

"Getting involved in new projects early on can help you develop your ability to withstand pressure. Only through continuous practice can you improve."

Yao Lanlan, a newly minted intern, felt a bit reluctant about the sudden and significant task. "I have no experience taking on projects, and real estate projects involve such a large scale that I, an intern, might not be able to handle it..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have experience. Skills are acquired through practice. Besides, I'll be in charge of negotiating cooperation with the project leader. You just need to stay aside and follow my instructions. Don't worry about anything else."

Having said that, Yao Lanlan still had some hesitation in her heart. Most real estate projects were the company's major projects, and the investment amounts involved were hundreds of millions. As a recent graduate, she was naturally a little hesitant when faced with such a big project. If something went wrong and she messed up the project, she would be finished.

Seeing that Yao Lanlan was still about to refuse, Li Quan's eyes revealed a hint of impatience: "If you still want to continue to stay in Tiansheng through the internship, you have to listen to me this time. When the project is completed, I will recommend you to the higher-ups and make you a regular employee in advance. Otherwise, you better pack up and get ready to leave!"

At this point, Yao Lanlan had no right to refuse, so she could only say weakly, "Okay."

When Yao Lanlan left the office and returned to her seat dejectedly, a female colleague next to her immediately came over and asked with concern, "Lanlan, what does the manager want to talk to you about?"

Yao Lanlan was simple-minded by nature and didn't try to hide anything. She told her colleagues what had just happened: "Manager Li asked me to accompany him to meet a client tonight."

"Hiss, did he really say that?"

Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Yao Lanlan felt like she had found a like-minded person. She quickly leaned in and said, "Right, right? You find this strange too, don't you?! There are so many outstanding seniors in the department, and I'm just a small intern. Why did Manager Li give me such a heavy responsibility? I don't even know what I'm going to say when I meet the client later."

Looking at the innocent Yao Lanlan, the colleague sighed and said, "You just came here and don't know it yet, actually..."
