Chapter 788 - I will get what I want with my hands!

When Pei Ge brought her assistant to the other party’s company to sign the contract, she found out how the project had been given to Jiaheng.

“CFO Pei, I really applaud you for your vast connections! We already planned to give this project to Zhou Real Estate, but they suddenly backed down from taking it, saying that they wanted you to have it, instead. Tsk, tsk!”

Seeing the suggestive look on the other party’s face, her face immediately turned dark.

And here I was wondering why this project returned to us. Turns out it’s because of… Zhou Zhuoyang!

He gave up on this project for me!

“Looks like your relationship with young master Zhou is pretty good! If not, he wouldn’t give away such a big project so easily.”

Hearing their suggestive words, she squinted her eyes and made a decision.

“CEO Wang, this project…”

She looked at this pot-bellied, middle-aged man opposite her and revealed an apt smile.

“Mhm?” The man looked at her curiously, thinking inside, This woman’s looks are just so-so. Why did that capital’s young master Zhou let go of a billion-dollar project for her?

Perhaps… her bedroom skills are great?

The man revealed a lecherous look at that thought.

No matter how much of a dunce she was, she could still sense the man’s lecherous look.

Hence, she stopped being polite to this man. Her smile dimmed as she stared coldly at him.

“This project, Jiaheng doesn’t want it, too.”

His mouth fell open the moment she said this, and he looked at her in disbelief.

“What?! You don’t want it?!”

“Yes. Jiaheng doesn’t want to work with you anymore. Although we are not that big, it’s not like we’ll collapse without your project.” Her lips curled up into a cold, disdainful smile.

“May I trouble you to pass my words on to Zhou Zhuoyang? Tell him that Jiaheng doesn’t want his charity. The business world is akin to a battlefield; I’ll get what I want with my two hands! As for him, I decline to accept his alms!”

Done saying this, she got up from the chair and said to the assistant beside her,

“Xiao He, let’s go!”

“Ahh? Oh!” The assistant, who was still in shock by the sudden turn of events, returned to her senses upon hearing her boss’s order. Her eyes were full of bewilderment and her head was in a jumbled mess as she followed her boss out of the building.

She was wholly baffled. Clearly, she was here with her superior to sign for the contract-signing of this project their company had been after.

What just happened? Why did our lady boss decline it like that?

“Pei Ge, you’re out of your mind!”

Seeing her turn to leave resolutely, the middle-aged man finally found his voice.

This isn’t just any other project!

The f*ck?! These people rejected my project, making it seem lousy. They’re truly absurd!

She just ignored him, however, and regally kept walking out of the room with her back straight.

Only after they had exited the building and got in the car did her calm expression crumble.

In place of it was helplessness and depression.

“B-Boss… are we truly abandoning that project?”

Her assistant carefully asked while observing her expression.

Lightly peering at her, she nudged her lips. “Why? Did I seem joking when I said that earlier?”

The assistant promptly shook her head. “No, you don’t, b-but we’ve been preparing for this project for so long…”

Rejecting it like that is such a pity!

“Indeed, we’ve prepared for so long…” softly muttered Pei Ge. Honestly speaking, she also found it a pity to abandon such a big project.

Still…

Her lips curled into a cold smirk as her eyes flashed with mockery.

She was more unwilling to owe Zhou Zhuoyang a favor.

“… But Jiaheng isn’t short of projects.”

She squinted and revealed a confident expression. Anyone looking would think that what she had done was right!

This was actually a fact.

Ever since she conquered that group of sly, old foxes, Jiaheng’s administrative meeting had turned into where what she said became the fact.

No one would reject whatever decision she made.

Including this time, despite the sly, old foxes feeling disgruntled about her abandoning the project they had prepared for a long time, they kept their opinion to themselves and did not dare to voice it out.

Hence, Jiaheng became busy again. There was, in fact, much more hubbub now as they turned to another project.

Still, no matter how busy it was, none of the employees complained. Instead, they were even more fired up as they fought alongside their lady boss!

After all, the company had a high overtime remuneration package, and more importantly, their lady boss worked much later than they did, so what else could they complain about?

However, although the Jiaheng employees were not complaining, a certain CEO in the capital was filled with complaints!

There was no other reason for it except that his girlfriend had become a workaholic again!

“Ziming, I may be unable to attend your benefactor’s business launching.”

While studying the financial statements in her office, Pei Ge told the man this through her Bluetooth earphone.

“Mhm. Don’t go if you have no time. It’s not that big of a deal,” he uncaringly remarked.

However, after saying this, he did not receive a reply from her for a long time.

Feeling perplexed, he paused for a while and then asked in confusion, “Are you still there, Pei Ge?”

“Ah! Yes, I’m still here. I just got a bit distracted by the financial report. What were you saying again?”
