Who goes to work if they're a decent person?

Chapter 13 Thank you, Mr. Wang, for giving us this opportunity.

Just as Li Wenqing was about to speak, a hand gently pressed on her shoulder.

She paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Su Ming standing beside her, a reassuring smile on his face.

"Team leader, let me do it."

Su Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet conference room.

Li Wenqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking into Su Ming's calm eyes, she swallowed the words back.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she was deeply moved.

This man... is he afraid she'll be bullied and wants to take the pressure off her?

Looking at Su Ming who had stood up, Li Wenqing suddenly recalled the scene from the day she joined the company.

His gaze had swept over me that day; it turned out that his gaze really wasn't accidental...

He started paying attention to himself from that day on...

Li Wenqing's eyes gradually became hot.

If...we're all still alive after this battle, I will definitely...

In an instant, Li Wenqing imagined a war romance drama.

Seeing that Li Wenqing did not respond for a long time, the scene was awkward for five seconds.

"Um...please sit down first!"

"Huh? Oh, okay."

She lowered her head awkwardly and slowly sat back down in her chair.

In the front seat, Zhang Zhicheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze fell on Su Ming.

He frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

How did the Ministry of Commerce handle this? They assigned Su Ming this kind of task? Sign Chen Lu for 50,000 yuan? That's simply impossible.

It's obvious they're using newcomers as cannon fodder. And didn't they approve a budget of 500,000? How did it drop to 50,000 by the time it got down to the bottom?

Zhang Zhicheng seemed to be deep in thought, recalling Su Ming's father, the old brother who had raised Su Ming all by himself.

Over the years, Su's father knew better than anyone how much hardship he had endured. Now, after finally raising his son and sending him to live with him, he was being bullied by the company like this?

A surge of anger welled up in Zhang Zhicheng's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

He sighed inwardly.

Su Ming comes from a poor family; his father raised him alone. As an old friend, I should take good care of him.

But now...

But Zhang Zhicheng did not immediately reveal anything.

He wanted to wait until the report was finished to see what work Su Ming had actually done. Although the task was impossible to complete, he wanted to hear how much effort the boy had put in.

Even if we fail, at worst we can just give those people in the Ministry of Commerce a piece of our mind and then arrange a suitable position for Su Ming separately.

Zhang Zhicheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression.

Meanwhile, the others in the meeting room also had their own thoughts.

The shareholder with thinning hair and the overweight shareholder exchanged a glance, both with a hint of amusement in their eyes.

They came to see the play.

An impossible task has fallen to a few newcomers; today's meeting is going to be quite a show.

The other groups looked on with schadenfreude.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with them, so we'll just wait and see what happens.

Chen Hao sat in the corner, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Damn it! It would be embarrassing if I suddenly burst out laughing."

Su Ming surveyed the entire room, taking in everyone's expressions.

"Dear leaders and colleagues."

Su Ming's voice was calm and clear, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

"Our team consists of newcomers, and we're honored to be assigned such a large project right away."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over President Wang in the front row.

Mr. Wang looked at him expressionlessly, gave a kind smile, but had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The company approved a budget of 50,000 for us."

Several suppressed snickers immediately rose in the conference room.

Although everyone already knew about this outrageous budget, hearing it from the presenter still amplified the sense of absurdity.

Su Ming seemed oblivious to the laughter and continued, "To be honest, we were quite nervous when we first received this mission."

"After all, what level of person is Chen Lu? Thirty million followers across the internet, she just terminated her contract and trended on social media, and countless brands are scrambling to give her money."

"The three of us newcomers, with only 50,000 yuan, trying to persuade this powerful figure to come to our aid is simply a pipe dream."

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, an even louder laugh rang out, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao blushed: "I...I just remembered something funny, my wife is getting married."

Everyone was silent, and Chen Hao secretly took a deep breath.

Su Ming continued:

"However, I am very grateful to Mr. Wang for his trust and support."

He looked at President Wang with a sincere smile on his face.

"During the task execution, I requested a number of permissions from Mr. Wang. For example, adjusting the commission rate, changing the cooperation model, and negotiating resource subsidies..."

"General Manager Wang has been incredibly kind to our group, basically always fulfilling our every request."

"Here, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Wang for his guidance and care."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he bowed slightly to President Wang.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became subtle.

Some of those who understood the secret turned strange.

Zhang Zhicheng paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This guy is interesting.

Mr. Wang's face instantly turned ashen.

How could he not hear the hidden meaning in Su Ming's words?

On the surface, it's a thank you message, but in reality, it's telling everyone: I assigned the task and granted the authority, so if any problems arise, it's all my responsibility.

This is blatant scapegoating in public!

Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Xiao Su, you're too kind. It's all thanks to your own hard work."

"No, no, no, we definitely couldn't have done it without President Wang's support," Su Ming said sincerely. "President Wang's management skills have truly benefited us newcomers immensely."

Mr. Wang's face turned even greener; those words were like a dagger.

Su Ming stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Zhang Zhicheng and the other shareholders.

He took a deep breath, his voice suddenly rising, and said calmly:

"It's fortunate that General Manager Wang has such excellent subordinates like us."

ha?

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

What does that mean?

Excellent subordinates? What makes you so excellent?

Su Ming surveyed the entire room and said, word by word, "We have completed our mission."

"Damn!" That was the collective thought of the entire audience.

"We reached a very smooth live-streaming e-commerce cooperation agreement with Chen Lu, and the contract has already been signed." He picked up a document.

"All the specific details of the cooperation have been finalized. Going forward, we just need to coordinate with the operations department as usual."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone else to speak, Su Ming calmly sat back down in his chair.

For an instant.

The entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone felt like they hadn't understood. Did he mean that a contract had been signed?

Li Wenqing was also completely bewildered; she hadn't touched it at all.

What?

nailed it?

Aba aba...

She turned her head sharply to look at Su Ming, her eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.

Chen Hao could no longer contain himself, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild smile.

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

Looking at the group of people who were just gloating, now all dumbfounded, Chen Hao felt he had never felt so happy in his life.

Mr. Wang's face was extremely grim.

He felt he was finished; this was a major mistake at work, and he didn't know how his superiors would punish him.

Zhang Zhicheng put down his teacup, a hint of satisfaction and appreciation flashing in his eyes.

This kid is something else.

Not only did they complete the task, they also outmaneuvered President Wang in front of everyone.

Zhang Zhicheng nodded to himself, and began to ponder the recent events that had occurred at the company.

The shareholder with thinning hair and the fat shareholder exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

Things... seemed to have taken them somewhat unexpectedly.

If that batch of goods actually sells and recoups the company's losses, I'm afraid that old guy Zhang Zhicheng...
