I laughed, “Well, she just happened to have nothing to do today so she brought it over, want to join me?”
She shook her head and held up the lunch box in her hand and said, “I brought it too.”
It looks like it went to the pantry to be warmed up in the microwave.
When she entered Edward’s office, he was still busy, and when he heard the movement, he didn’t look up, thinking he was coming to deliver the papers, and said, “Leave the papers for now.”
When I saw that the glass of milk on the table was empty, I was stunned and said, “I thought you wouldn’t touch it!”
At the sound of his voice, he looked up, saw me looking at the glass of milk, faintly froze, and smiled, “It tastes good!”
Noticing the bag in my hand, he did raise an eyebrow and said, “What did you bring?”
“Lunch!” I opened my mouth, walked to the table and sat down, and said, “A friend made it himself, it must taste good, I also brought you one, try it together?”
He got up, walked over to me, and said, “From Jannings?”
I was a little surprised, “You could have guessed that?”
He laughed, “You don’t have many friends over here, not many people would have time to cook for you, so she’s more likely to do it.”
It seems like there is no big problem with reasoning this way.
I faintly froze, took the meal out, stomach medicine handed him said, “This you keep, remember to eat in the future stomach pain.”
He looked at it and his eyes fell on me, “Did you have Jannings buy this?”
I nodded, “Sort of!”
He reached out and took it, and after a moment he said, “Did you see Dennis last night?”
I was flabbergasted and didn’t recover my thoughts, this man’s mind is jumping too fast!
Seeing that I did not speak for half a day, he ate a few bites of food, looked at me, and after a pause said, “the George Group recently had a project in City A development, originally for Dennis, this kind of thing he did not need to come personally, but he came, and seems to plan to stay for a while.”
I nodded my head, not intending to take his words. Seeing that I didn’t seem to have anything to say.
He frowned slightly, with a few different emotions, “Because after all, it’s not a local business, the George Group intends to have a bidding meeting in City A, in the evening at the Oasis Hotel, a project the White Family also intends to follow up.”
I looked up at him, slightly flabbergasted, and then spoke, “You can just schedule me, or tell me what I need to do?”
Hearing this, he smiled slightly, but looked a bit cheerful, “You take over this project!”
I frowned and looked at him with some confusion, “I just joined the company, one I am only your secretary, the job is to take care of your chores and organize your files, follow up the George Group’s case, is the project director needs to do, the second is, even if you have to let me take over this project, the first thing necessary to consider is my ability, you think I can handle it? can handle it?”
He raised his eyebrows, put down the chopsticks in his hands, looked at me with a serious face, and said after a slight pause, “You have been in the George Group for so many years, from the bottom to sit on the position of director, this point is not enough to explain your ability? You can ask Linda, she has been a special assistant since she joined the White Family, but most of the company’s projects have come from her hands.”
I frowned and couldn’t help but feel that he was brainwashing me.
After a pause, he continued, “Besides, there is a real selfishness in having you bid on a project that has a high chance of success.”
How could I not know what he was planning? He wanted to take advantage of my relationship with Dennis to give me more initiative in the bidding.
But I was reluctant to go inside, and for a while did not rush to speak, but fell into silence.
He looked at me, his gaze more or less sunken, a moment later said, “Of course, if you want to refuse, I also agree, it is only that the project’s twenty percent of the draw, you do not get.”
I flinched for a moment, “Twenty percent?”
He raised his eyebrows, “All projects of the White Family, as long as the person in charge is in charge, can take twenty percent of the commission, which has been in place since the company was founded.”
It’s not that I don’t know about taking a percentage from a project, but normally it’s about five percent, and ten percent in the market is good enough.
But twenty percent of such a figure is too tempting, like the George Group such a single, once taken, the middle of the draw, how also hundreds of thousands, if the project is larger, are millions.
An ordinary person can eat a single for a year or even years.
Seeing me dazed and distracted, Edward ate a few mouthfuls, then got up and walked to the desk, once the file handed to me, “These are the George Group this development case details, in addition to the local government of City A also intends to pull Dennis cooperation, our advantage seems to be no advantage except you. ”
I speechless, “even if there is a relationship between me and Dennis, in the work, he will not choose because of our personal feelings on the absence of any good partners, you also said, the mall, about the interests of Thi.”
He smiled and didn’t say much, “How do you know if you don’t try, the tender will start in the evening, which means you have to get the tender proposal out this afternoon.”
I pursed my lips, looked at him and said, “Mr. White, don’t you think you’re making things difficult for me right now?”
He raised his eyebrows, “You can’t do it? Or are you unwilling to do it?”
I was dumbfounded for a moment, not really either, but it was always a twist in my heart.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, he said, “Clara, in fact, you can think more about your own interests, and also if there is something you don’t understand, you can ask Linda.”
After saying that, he continued to focus on his paperwork.
I froze for a moment, looking at the meal on the table, a little lost in thought.
But it was only a moment before I packed up and left his office.
It had been a long time since I had written a bid, and I was at a loss for words.
Linda came, see me pestle chin dazed at the computer, smiled and said, “the George Group to A’s bid, the purpose is to promote and occupy their own market, the George Group is a public company, in other words, Dennis is a capitalist, the purpose of the capitalist is to want to invest a dollar, the earn a hundred dollars of profit scheme, all the interest is important for them.”
“Stare-owned company in City A intends to cooperate with the George Group, just like us, see the development scenario of this project, want to share this big piece of cake, their advantage is stability and security, but their price is likely to be depressed, after all, Stare- owned company has limited funds, which means they will have the possibility of tampering with the process in order to save costs in the later stages.”
