Chapter 31 Surrender
Damn it... She didn't expect that this project would require the personal supervision of the president.
After staring at his application page for a moment, I had no choice but to agree, since he was the client.
Gu Moyang changed his WeChat profile picture. He used to have a romantic profile picture with her, but he probably changed it after they broke up.
His current profile picture was a sunrise in the early morning. Jiang Jibai stared at it in shock.
His WeChat nickname was the first spelling of his own name. Jiang Jibai clicked on the remarks column and changed it to 'Party A who pays the money'.
This way she will look better.
Zheng Qianqian came back from the meeting, smiling, and walked towards her workstation.
"Xiao Jiang, Mr. Shi wants to see you. Please go to his office."
Jiang Jibai was slightly stunned. Shi Jie was the boss of their company. Why would he look for her, an 18th-tier employee?
It seems that it is probably related to the project she is working on with the Heguang Group.
Then she heard a sneer and the sound of a pen dropping behind her.
Although this kind of sound is not very lethal, it can greatly affect your mood.
Jiang Jibai looked at them with disgust, ignored them, and went to General Manager Shi's office first.
When she passed by the design department, no one inside gave her a good look, all was naked hostility and resentment.
This project of Heguang Group should have fallen under the responsibility of their design department, but she, an illustrator, took it over.
Who wouldn’t be jealous when seeing money falling into other people’s pockets?
Jiang Jibai knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Shi, you're looking for me."
Shi Jie was very polite to her, asking her to sit down and personally making tea for her.
Jiang Jibai knew it was because of the project she was working on.
In the company, everyone comes and goes with the sole purpose of profit. She took over this project to benefit those in higher positions, but it affected the interests of ordinary people, making her the target of their criticism.
But she was forced to do it, forced to be controlled by capital and become a tool for them to make profits.
Jiang Jibai felt powerless, helpless and resentful.
Shi Jie's expression was kind: "How is the Heguang project going?"
When talking about the progress of the project, Jiang Jibai frowned slightly and told Shi Jie about his concerns and worries.
Shi Jie has also been in the business world for many years. How could he not see that He Guang asked their company to do this project because of Jiang Jibai.
Such a big project, not only with a short time frame, but also required her to complete it alone, seemed almost impossible to accomplish.
The person above her was obviously trying to make things difficult for her, but he assigned this big project to her, which Shi Jie couldn't figure out.
However, since the Heguang Group has given the project to their company, there is no reason for them not to take it. Who would be willing to give up such a big piece of fat meat?
If the drawings are submitted late, the company will have to bear the penalty. Although there are benefits and risks, Shi Jie still wants to take a gamble.
Another reason why he dared to take the risk was that he had a hunch that the president of Heguang Group might have an unusual relationship with Jiang Jibai.
A while ago, the subsidiary company also reported that Gu Moyang, the president of Heguang Group, had come to the company to find Jiang Jibai, which further confirmed his guess.
Unexpectedly, his company still had such a treasure hidden. Shi Jie smiled casually, quietly erasing the thoughts in his heart, and tentatively asked: "Xiao Jiang, are you familiar with Mr. Gu from Heguang Group?"
Jiang Jibai paused slightly while holding the teacup, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "Not familiar, just acquaintance."
Shi Jie keenly caught the fleeting emotions in her eyes, and as he expected, their relationship was not simple.
Then the probability of him winning the bet is very high, and Mr. Gu should not let her go without the money.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of happiness in his heart.
As for whether the process is tortuous, that is not something he should consider.
Shi Jie nodded without saying anything: "Work hard, we believe you can complete it. If you have any questions, go to Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu will not treat you unfairly."
"I want to remind you that if you fail to complete the project on time, the company will pay liquidated damages to Heguang based on the number of days overdue. Xiao Jiang, you know that Heguang Group is one of the top companies in Beijing and Huaihai. Their liquidated damages are shockingly high. If that happens, your project commission and bonus will be wasted."

Return to the workstation.
Jiang Jibai lowered his head and opened WeChat, clicking on the chat box for 'Party A who pays'.
There was only one note in it, which was sent by Gu Moyang yesterday: [Your Party A]
It's been a day and they haven't spoken yet.
Shi Jie's words just now rang in her ears again, and this time she had to take on this tough task.
She glanced at the calendar on the table, and the pressing time felt like a huge rock pressing down on her.
The best way now is to discuss with Heguang whether the delivery time can be postponed.
As long as she postpones the deadline for another month, she will be able to submit the drawings within the specified time.
After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Jibai opened the dialog box and typed: Mr. Gu, can you extend the time of the project?
Jiang Jibai held her cell phone, her palms sweating in the cool weather.
After a while, she received a reply from the other side.
Party A who pays: [How long do you want the grace period to be?]
Jiang Jibai felt like there was a chance, and he felt relieved: [It would only take a month.]
Party A who pays: [One month? Miss Jiang, you probably don't know how precious time is. Will you compensate for the brand impact that Heguang has lost in this month?]
Faced with his sarcasm, Jiang Jibao's fingers holding the phone trembled.
She held her phone for a long time, thinking about how to reply to his message. She typed and deleted the words in the chat box, and couldn't even say the words to bargain with him.
She stared at the message on the screen, holding her breath and refusing to give in.
This was the last bit of dignity she had left.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and replied: [Okay, just one month.]
There are always more solutions than problems. It is better to rely on oneself than on others. At worst, she can stay awake this month and work all night every day to hand in the drawings.
Gu Moyang looked at the message that popped up on his phone, snorted, and threw the phone on the desk, his eyes filled with a dark color that could not be dissolved.
Quite stubborn.
Is it so difficult to give in to him?
Ji An ran in worriedly and even forgot to knock on the door.
Seeing his panic, Gu Moyang looked even more unhappy: "If you don't knock on the door next time, I will make you write a 10,000-word self-criticism."
Ji An made an aggrieved "oh" sound, knowing that he was giving him the cold shoulder.
He placed the contract on Gu Moyang's desk. "You assigned the Chu Xin design project to Jiang Jibai, and asked her to submit the drawings in a month? How could she possibly finish a project of that magnitude in a month by herself? Are you crazy, or is their company crazy enough to take on such a difficult task?"
Gu Moyang glanced sharply and snorted softly, "How do you know she can't finish it in a month?"
As expected, he would go crazy when encountering things related to Jiang Jibai. If Jiang Jibai had someone under his command, it would be a different story, but how could it be possible for her alone?
"What are you going to do if she can't submit the drawings on time?"
Gu Moyang sighed softly and played with the pen in his hand, "Just wait and see."
