"Qiao Zhen, what are you thinking about?"
Even after sitting down at her workstation, Qiao Zhen's mind was still filled with the kiss she had just shared with Lu Zheng.
All the other colleagues went to the meeting room to prepare for the meeting, but Qiao Zhen was still sitting there dumbfounded.
The supervisor couldn't help but lean over and pat Qiao Zhen on the shoulder, softly calling Qiao Zhen's name.
Qiao Zhen then suddenly came to her senses.
"Sorry, supervisor, I didn't sleep well last night and my mind wandered a bit. Is there anything I can help you with?"
From the moment Qiao Zhen first joined the company, she worked under the supervisor. The supervisor was well aware of Qiao Zhen's abilities and understood her personality.
"No matter how capable you are, you need a healthy body to support it. Okay, get ready, come in for the meeting."
Qiao Zhen quickly tidied herself up and followed her supervisor to the conference room.
Unlike yesterday when everyone was full of energy, today, as soon as Qiao Zhen entered the office, she noticed that everyone was hanging their heads and seemed uninterested.
Soon, Qiao Zhen understood the whole story.
“Yesterday, I proposed to contact the Jazz Group about their project, and everyone signed up enthusiastically, which made me very happy. But today, your dejected appearances are very disappointing.”
The supervisor looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"But supervisor, that Jazz Group is completely unyielding. Most of our department has tried, and we were either directly rejected or met with a cold shoulder. This is simply an impossible task."
One of the younger team members, unable to bear the injustice any longer, tried his best to explain to the supervisor.
The supervisor glanced at him sideways.
"Just because you failed once doesn't mean you think it's an impossible task. If everyone had your attitude, the company might as well just dissolve!"
Although the supervisor is usually strict with them, he has never lost his temper like this before.
Everyone was frightened by the supervisor's attitude.
"Manager, please calm down. The fact that the first attempt was unsuccessful is actually a good start."
Qiao Zhen's words drew everyone's attention to her.
Qiao Zhen took a deep breath, quickly organized her thoughts, and continued, "If the Jazz Group were such an easy nut to crack, our company would definitely have many more competitors. On the contrary, as things stand now, all the companies that have approached us have been rejected. From now on, it's just a matter of who has more patience and who can come up with a more effective solution."
Qiao Zhen's words suddenly brought those who were lost to their senses back to reality.
Yes, how come they didn't think of that?
So what if you fail? You can always start over. We're all starting from the same point anyway, so who's really better than whom?
"Qiao Zhen is right. We shouldn't underestimate ourselves. We should work even harder to overcome this tough challenge!"
Thunderous applause erupted in the meeting room.
The supervisor looked at Qiao Zhen with satisfaction, a faint smile on his lips.
After the meeting, the supervisor asked everyone who had contacted the Jazz Group to compile their thoughts and experiences.
Then, Qiao Zhen was called into the office.
"Manager, you wanted to see me?"
The supervisor pointed to the small sofa in the office, gesturing for Qiao Zhen to sit down.
"Qiao Zhen, as you can see, it's not that I'm forcing you into this, it's just that in our department, besides you, I can't find a more suitable candidate to contact Jazz."
The supervisor didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Qiao Zhen pursed her lips.
Actually, she really wanted to give it a try. If she could land one or two projects, she could earn a lot in commissions alone.
"Manager, while I'm encouraging everyone, to be honest, I'm not very confident that we can close this deal."
Back then, her affair with Gu Xijue caused quite a stir, and she worried that Gu Xijue still held a grudge about what happened back then, so he refused to even see her.
The supervisor recognized Qiao Zhen's abilities, but didn't have much confidence that Qiao Zhen could win the project in one go.
"Qiao Zhen, don't underestimate yourself. Everyone has witnessed your abilities and expertise. Don't be too nervous, just do your best. Whether it succeeds or not is something to consider later."
Since the supervisor has already said so, if Qiao Zhen still refuses, she will seem ungrateful.
"Okay. Since the supervisor trusts me so much, I can only give it my best."
After leaving the supervisor's office, Qiao Zhen returned to her workstation and began to read the summary of opinions that her supervisor had given her.
Qiao Zhen spent the entire morning engrossed in these summaries, without even having lunch.
In the afternoon, Qiao Zhen set off full of confidence.
Before leaving, she sent Gu Xijue a short text message: "Mr. Gu, on behalf of our company, I would like to make an initial contact with Mr. Gu. I hope you can give me this opportunity."
After sending the message, Qiao Zhen put away her phone and took a taxi to the Jazz Group.
She didn't notice her phone light up; Gu Xijue had replied to her text message: Of course.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Zhen, a business representative from Xingchen Company. Does your CEO, Mr. Gu, have a moment to spare right now?"
Qiao Zhen stepped into the starry sky and was slightly amazed.
The luxurious decor and towering buildings all testify to Gu Xijue's current success.
Looking at myself now, I'm just an ordinary white-collar worker in the company, completely different from the spirited young lady of the Qiao family back then.
She is no longer qualified to stand beside Gu Xijue. To bring up the past again would be nothing more than a presumptuous and delusional fantasy.
"Is this Ms. Qiao Zhen? Hello, the president has some time now, this way please."
