The "Over-Limit Project" was soon officially launched.

As one of the project leaders, this should have been a step up for Ms. Ye Shanshan – in addition to her original position as the chairman's secretary, she has now taken over part of the high-tech team under "Prism", which has greatly increased her influence.

But the actual situation seems to be different, because Xu Shi has the control of the project.

In other words, she is now considered one of the other party's subordinates—it is clearly stated in the contract that during the project cooperation period, the technical teams of both parties will be jointly led by Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan.

The decision-making power is in the hands of "Snake Ring," which means that Xu Shi's power is higher than Xie Qingyan's.

Under these circumstances, Ye Shanshan had no choice but to consider her own situation.

You, why are you making snide remarks about other people when you have nothing better to do... She knew all too well that offending her boss was no small matter, and wished she could travel back in time and shut her up back then.

But it was obviously unlikely that such a thing would happen, so she could only anxiously lead her team to "Snake Ring" to report, praying in her heart that the man surnamed Xu wouldn't be too petty.

If he can be more magnanimous, then of course there won't be any problem. But if he's determined to make things difficult for me, then I'm in for a lot of trouble.

Even if he were to do something outrageous, his ordinary workplace life would be enough to give her a good dressing down.

They were still drinking from a chamber pot.

but.

The situation didn't seem as bad as Ye Shanshan had thought. Xu Shi's attitude towards her seemed quite good, even a bit enthusiastic.

"So, from today onwards, you will all be colleagues working together."

At the first meeting between the two sides, Xu Shi earnestly mobilized them, saying, "You have all read the plan. I think you should understand that what you are about to do is a momentous event that will shake the world."

"If you succeed, your story will surely be recorded in history."

"So please keep up the good work, and I hope there won't be too much distance between you."

No one would deny that.

Those selected for the "Over-Limit Project" team are the elite of the elite. If they focus on forming cliques at this point, they are putting the cart before the horse.

Moreover, both teams have many veteran employees who had similar collaborations during Chairman Xu's era, so there's no question of discord; in fact, there's a sense of joy in reuniting.

But this absolutely does not include Ms. Jiang Chengcheng, the head of the engineering department.

From the moment she entered, Ye Shanshan noticed her strange gaze, which seemed to carry considerable hostility.

Ah, this...

Ye Shanshan looked around. She didn't seem to treat others like this, so... it was only directed at her?

What's going on?

I haven't offended her, have I? We've never even met before... She's only heard some things about Jiang Chengcheng and knows that she had a somewhat tragic past.

So before she came, she felt some sympathy for Jiang Chengcheng and thought she was pitiful.

Before I could even open my mouth, this is what I got in return; it's quite true.

Ye Shanshan couldn't understand the real reason for the other party's reaction. It couldn't be out of loyalty to Xu Shi, could it?

To be honest, in this day and age, there are very few people who are completely devoted to their bosses—she herself knows that people like Su Lin or herself are actually a minority, and they are not just ordinary employees, but rather like proper retainers.

People can't be generalized... But speaking of this, she did discover a problem.

"Mr. Xu, Chairman Xu."

Ye Shanshan cautiously raised her hand, "Excuse me, where is your project manager, Director Su Lin?"

"Oh, her."

Xu Shi sighed upon hearing this, "She's sick, and quite seriously so she's taken a few days off and can't participate in work for the time being."

"If Ms. Ye has any questions before she returns, she can contact our acting manager, Ms. Jiang Chengcheng, the project supervisor."

"OK."

Jiang Chengcheng nodded with a smile and extended her hand to her, "Please take care of me in the future, Miss Ye."

Getting sick is alright.

Ye Shanshan secretly complained that Su Lin was an iron man, which was well-known among the six major conglomerates. She had never wavered in her commitment over the years, rain or shine.

Why did it have to happen at this crucial moment... She thought to herself that there must be some reason behind this, but she couldn't say for sure. She could only shake hands with Jiang Chengcheng first and say, "Yes, I would also appreciate any advice from Manager Jiang."

Then she discovered that Jiang Chengcheng had a lot of strength in her hands.

It was a little difficult to break free when she let go, and she still felt a slight pain afterward.

The hostility hidden behind the other person's radiant smile became even more intense the closer you got to see it.

"What are you doing, Chengcheng?"

Xu Shi naturally noticed it too, and feigned surprise, scolding, "How can you shake hands with someone like that? Quickly apologize to Secretary Ye."

"Ah... I'm so sorry, Miss Ye, I was a little distracted just now."

Jiang Chengcheng snapped out of her daze and looked at them with a pitiful expression. "Well, well, I'm an engineer, so it's reasonable for me to have a bit more strength... I'm really sorry."

"You really are... what time is it for you to be daydreaming? You can't be so rude next time."

"Yes." Jiang Chengcheng nodded obediently.

"...It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."

What else could Ye Shanshan say? She could only smile sheepishly, and that was the end of it.

I had a feeling that things weren't going well from the very beginning...
