Although he wouldn’t let me ask why, it was impossible for me not to.
I was going to use this project to prove myself to others, and now he wouldn’t let me do it, so how could I prove myself?
“If you have to, then I have to report it to the president directly. I always think you are a good decision maker. But I don’t expect you to behave so badly.”
“I don’t need you to tell me what to do. But you really don’t understand, I can tell you something. Wenbei Su’s company is perfectly capable of taking care of the project on its own, there is no need for him to share the profits with you. If he wants to work with you, he must have some other purpose. It’s just that you don’t see through him. If you really want to do this project, then you might as well cooperate with Mu Chen’s company. His company is at least at Hai City, and if there’s a problem with cooperation, it’s convenient for you to solve it.”
I thought I heard wrong, “You said you were going to work with Mu Chen?”
“Don’t I make myself clear? Didn’t he want the project too? Wouldn’t there be a better chance of working with him?” Leon said.
“But haven’t you always been at odds with him?”
“That’s the project you’re in charge of, just do it, and don’t worry about me. Anyway, if you want to continue this project, you work with Mu Chen and no one else will be considered. I’ve got other things to do, you can go now.”
Leon lowered his head and began to read the file, no longer paying attention to me.
Afterwards, I called Mu Chen and asked him if the two companies could work together to bid for the project in Yang City.
He said it was impossible because Leon had been misunderstanding him and hated him very much. They had no chance to cooperate.
To reassure Mu, I told him that I was in charge of this project and that Leon was not involved, so we could work together. I told Mu about the Leon’s attitude towards two companies’ cooperation. Knowing Leon’s support for the two companies’ cooperation, Mu agreed finally. He suggested that we start adjusting the program and working together to bid for it.
The next day I met Mu and then had the team leaders from both sides meet as well and started planning a collaborative bid together
I had let Leon go through the cooperation details, as well as some practical schemes and plans. He would also give me some suggestions, which made me think that he did have the sincerity to work with Mu.
That was how busy we were for a week before finally waiting for the bid.
However, on the morning of the bidding session, Leon suddenly told me to cancel Yang City’s bid.
I was almost going crazy, my team and Mu’s team were working overtime every day for a week over the bidding thing, and now he asked me to quit.
I picked up the phone and was about to call President Hua, but he snatched my phone. “Today, you stay at home and don’t go out and make contact with anyone.”
No matter how much I begged him, he didn’t listen and drove off. He also told a few people to keep an eye on me and not let me out.
He disassembled the landline and disconnected the net. I had no way of getting in touch with the outside world.
I was so disappointed in him. I even wonder how he managed to run the company so well. I was so confused that he didn’t look like a businessman at all, just a conceited lunatic.
He returned late and seemed to be a little drunk. It was the driver who drove him back. He gave back my phone and then congratulated me on achieving my sales goals.
I was a little surprised and ask what he meant.
“It took me one day to work out the details of the partnership with Wenbei Su, and then three days to work out the bid plan. Today, we have come to make a successful joint bid together. Shouldn’t you be happy that I got the project and you’ve completed your sales mission for the month?”
“But you said earlier that instead of cooperating with the Su family, you wanted me to cooperate with Mu’s company?”
“I lied to you. I just want you to distract Mu Chen and let him do everything in vain.” Leon said with a smile.
“So you’re just using me. You are ostensibly opposed to my cooperation with the Su family, but you are actually cooperating with them behind my back? And then win the project?”
“It would be an honor for you when I can use you.” Leon had a smug look on his face.
“But how do you let me to explain it to Mu? He did it because he trusted me…”
“You don’t need to explain it to him. I’ve warned you to stay away from him, but you still keep in touch with him. I told you but you didn’t listen. You deserve it.” Leon said dismissively.
“You are so despicable! Why are you using me?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could be used, showing that you still have some value? In addition, if you dare to curse me again, then I will tell President Hua that the project you collaborated with Chen Mu failed, fortunately I had a second proposals, which is why the Yang City project bid was completed. If I said so, not only will you not be rewarded, but you may also be blamed.” Leon threatened.
I wanted to curse him again, but I held back.
“Of course, I know you offered to do this project and negotiated with Wenbei Su first and it was your team that did the bidding, so the credit does go to you. So as long as you please me, I will still declare it to be your performance.” Leon said slowly.
I needed this sales performance. With this performance, I was able to prove my abilities to the people who promoted me, President Hua, and the entire company who questioned me. Leon also knew that I felt that way, which was why he did it without regard to my feelings.
Seeing that I didn’t speak, Leon became even smugger. “You don’t think about how to explain to Mu Chen, because you don’t need to. You are my wife and he is the person I hate, you better stay away from him or you will pay the price for it. I don’t want to talk too much to a woman as boring as you. I’m going to play with my son.”
I kept cursing Leon in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about him.
Soon, the official website of the Hua Corporation posted the news of the bid for the Municipal Project in Yang City by Hai City Telecom.
The news said that the new Sales Director of Hai City Telecom, Nala Yao, had made great efforts to expand the business in Yang City and found a new breakthrough for the growth of the company’s profitable business, and was the first person in the history of Hai City Telecom to increase the company’s sales performance by more than 20 percent in one month. That was why I was without a doubt named the Group’s Executive Star of the Month.
What surprised me even more was that the next morning, as soon as I walked out of the elevator, flowers were delivered and applause erupted in celebration of my early completion of my sales goal. It turned out that the company’s employees had been standing on either side of the elevator entrance in advance waiting for my arrival.
Having never enjoyed such glory before, I was a little excited. For the first time I was so confident and proud of myself.
