Gu Nian crossed her arms, her expression arrogant. "Song Juan, I let you work on this project alone to give you a chance to grow. Don't be ungrateful."
"If you think you can't handle it, then pack your things and leave early."
My fists gradually tightened, making cracking sounds.
Gu Nian took a step back, as if afraid I would suddenly strike. She glared at me. "What do you want to do?"
I held back.
Not yet.
After all, she is my superior. If I clash with her, the higher-ups might think I am insubordinate.
Although I have established my position in the engineering department, the Director of the operations department is still eyeing her closely.
"Manager Lin, since you insist, I'll give it a try."
Gu Nian sighed in relief and looked at me sideways. "Song Juan, good luck. Don't let me down."
I looked at her with a half-smile. "Since you're assigning me this task, why not raise the stakes?"
"If I fail at this project, I will voluntarily leave the company."
Gu Nian's eyes lit up instantly.
I knew what she was thinking.
She wanted me to leave the company without any chance of turning things around.
"If I succeed in this project, then Manager Lin, you will apologize to me in front of all the colleagues in the company."
"Say you're sorry to me, you shouldn't look down on me."
Gu Nian's face darkened immediately.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Song Juan, you said it."
"Okay."
I nodded, "It's a deal."
Gu Nian walked out, her back radiating excitement.
Wu Jian leaned closer to me: "Song Juan, did you bet with Manager Lin?"
I nodded.
Wu Jian looked a bit worried: "Song Juan, isn't this a bad idea? What if you..."
What if I lose and have to leave the company?
I smiled: "It won't happen."
I had already discussed it with my father.
This bet was just a formality.
Since I was going to officially start this project, I needed to understand it thoroughly.
I went to find Wu Jian to gather information.
Upon hearing my questions, Wu Jian couldn't help but curse: "Is Gu Nian crazy? She actually wants a newcomer like you to follow up on this project?"
I raised an eyebrow: "Brother Liu, is this task really that difficult?"
Wu Jian looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "There are two problems with this project."
"The first problem is that the profit is too low, and the second problem is that the Client is too unpredictable."
I became interested and said, "Brother Liu, please elaborate."
Wu Jian sighed, "Song Juan, the technical issues of this project are not complicated, but the challenge lies in the sales department's perception that this project is optional."
"They think it's fine even if the project falls through."
"Therefore, the sales department does not take this project seriously."
"Additionally, the Client is hard to read; they might seem to cooperate with you on the surface but could already be colluding with another company behind your back."
Wu Jian patted my shoulder and said, "But don't worry too much; our engineering department has relatively little responsibility. Even if it fails, it won't affect us much."
I forced a smile.
However, I absolutely cannot lose the bet with Gu Nian.
