Yun Suiwan sat down next to Gu Fanyan: "Sister Fanyan, you came back without telling me?"
Gu Fanyan pursed her lips: "I was dragged to the company meeting as soon as I got back. After the meeting, I immediately came to ask Lu Dongjue about the project."
She quickly changed the subject.
Yun Suiwan, unsuspecting, asked, "Do you know someone named Gu Zheng?"
Gu Fanyan shook her head, but hearing that the person's name contained the character "Gu," she guessed that it was probably related to her.
Yun Suiwan smiled and said, "He should be your distant brother, right? Anyway, he's a member of the Gu family and has always worked for the Gu family's company."
"He was recently promoted to project manager and snatched one of our Yun's projects."
Gu Fanyan was surprised; the Gu family had such a ruthless character.
Lu Dongjue said, "I've met Gu Zheng twice, and there's an undisguised ambition in his eyes."
“We can’t just take things from the Yun and Lu families,” Gu Fanyan said unhappily. “I’m going to see this Gu Zheng.”
Yun Suiwan shook her head: "No need for that. He was able to snatch the project from the Yun family's project manager, so he must have some skill."
"Moreover, I heard that President Gu admires him very much and will definitely entrust him with important responsibilities in the future."
Yun Suiwan was worried: "I'm telling you this because I'm afraid Gu Zheng's presence will affect you, so I'm giving you a heads-up."
Gu Fanyan wasn't particularly career-driven, but this Gu Zheng piqued her curiosity.
When she left, Gu Fanyan quietly took the crown with her.
Lu Dongjue asked her what she planned to do.
She told Lu Dongjue to hurry up and have a child with Yun Suiwan, and that she could handle the matter.
The next morning, Gu Fanyan deliberately rode in the same car as her father to the company.
"Did you meet the project manager yesterday?" Mr. Gu asked with a smile.
Gu Fanyan nodded with an "Mmm".
Mr. Gu raised his thick eyebrows: "Don't you want to talk about something else?"
Gu Fanyan shrugged: "I find it quite surprising. Why didn't anyone mention me as the project manager for the project that the Lin and Gu families are collaborating on?"
She chuckled after she finished speaking.
This was obviously a joke; she knew her own limitations.
Father Gu's gaze was gentle: "Do your job well, and once you achieve something, everything in the Gu family will be yours."
Gu Fanyan glanced at him. "No way, Dad? I heard you're going to promote someone named Gu Zheng?"
Mr. Gu was somewhat surprised: "This matter has reached you? I was hoping to find an opportunity to introduce you two."
Gu Zheng's grandfather and Gu Fanyan's grandfather were brothers from the same family.
They can only be considered distant relatives of Gu Fanyan.
But the Gu family is too big, and Gu's father takes good care of the younger generation of the family, so they can all get a job in the company after graduating from university.
Start as a junior employee.
If you have the ability, you should move up the ranks.
For nearly ten years, no younger member of the Gu family has managed to break through this path.
Finally, Gu Zheng has emerged.
“I’ve been observing him for two years,” Mr. Gu said. “He is very cautious and decisive in his work, but he lacks opportunities.”
"Dad wants to train a few capable assistants for you."
Gu Fanyan understood her father's good intentions; it was because Gu Fanchu hadn't matured yet.
In her father's office, Gu Fanyan met Gu Zheng.
Although his name is very ordinary, his appearance is quite unique.
His skin was even whiter than hers, his lips even redder, and although his eyebrows and eyes were serious, they exuded a unique kind of handsomeness.
Lu Dongjue was right; his ambition was impossible to hide.
“You’re half a year younger than me, so I should call you ‘little sister’,” Gu Zheng said matter-of-factly, his face expressionless.
Gu Fanyan gave a faint "hmm".
At this moment, Mr. Gu's assistant came to invite him, as the business partner had already arrived at the reception room.
Mr. Gu was busy with social engagements, leaving only Gu Fanyan and Gu Zheng in the office.
Gu Zheng continued, "I've read the project proposal you submitted to General Manager Lin and his feedback. I think your team is inadequate and needs to be replaced."
Gu Fanyan raised an eyebrow at him and said casually, "My dad just left and he can't wait to find fault with me."
Gu Zheng said expressionlessly, "Whether President Gu is here or not has nothing to do with it. Even if we don't meet today, I still want to talk to you about this."
"You don't want the Lin family to look down on the Gu family, do you?"
Gu Fanyan found it amusing: "What makes you think you can say such things to me? Do you think the 'Gu' in your name is the same as the 'Gu' in my name?"
Gu Zheng remained calm: "My status? Based on my current position as project manager and special assistant to the president."
"If there's nothing else, I'll get back to my work now."
"Wait!" Gu Fanyan called out to him, "Don't provoke the Yun family or the Lu family, understand?"
Gu Zheng glanced at her. "I think if President Gu wants to maintain the status quo rather than expand his territory, there's no need to promote me, right?"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
His eyes were filled with contempt.
Even a strand of hair held Gu Fanyan in contempt.
Gu Fanyan had never been looked down upon like this before in her entire life.
She returned to her office and instructed her assistant, "Immediately give me the feedback letter that Lin Zhibai sent back."
The opinion letter was three full pages long.
All of them are opinions.
The last three characters, "Lin Zhibai," were prominently displayed at the end.
She flipped through the project proposal, which was only two and a half pages long.
“Do we have so many problems with our project proposal?” She called her secretary and two assistants over.
The three looked at each other, speechless with unspoken suffering.
They certainly didn't think their work had that many problems, but the one who voiced the opinion was Lin Zhibai, the project's general manager.
What can they do?
"Revise it according to his suggestions. Once it's revised, don't send it via email. Give it to me," Gu Fanyan instructed.
Lin Zhibai is deliberately manipulating her.
If she wasn't mistaken, he already knew about Gu Zheng's existence.
The more faults he found on her side, the more reasons Gu Zheng had to pick on her.
In order to quell the situation, she had no choice but to try to make amends with Lin Zhibai.
His plan was quite clever.
After her assistants revised the project proposal, she took it directly to Lin Zhibai's company.
"Please tell your General Manager Lin that Gu Fanyan would like to have a face-to-face meeting with him." She went to the front desk.
"Miss Gu has arrived," the receptionist immediately smiled. "Please come in directly. Young Master Lin instructed that we don't need to notify you when Miss Gu arrives."
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback; it was the first time she had ever heard of this rule of his.
“Xiao Wu,” Sheng Xin’s voice suddenly rang out, “Have you forgotten? Xiao Lin’s position has changed, and his work arrangements have also changed. He can’t meet people casually anymore.”
Sheng Xin, dressed in a smart dress and wearing high heels, came to Gu Fanyan.
The receptionist glanced at Sheng Xin and dared not say another word.
Gu Fanyan didn't care: "Okay, then you can inform Lin Zhibai. I can wait."
Sheng Xin smiled and said, "What can I do for you, Miss Gu? If it's to submit some documents, I can do it for you."
Gu Fanyan frowned and retorted without any politeness: "Go ahead and inform them, I can wait. Whether I meet with Lin Zhibai or not is none of your business."
