CHAPTER 868: CHAPTER 542: MOM, I DISAGREE

Ivy was stunned for a moment and looked at her, oh, so all the hard work she went through was to let her rival guard the success?

How could the mother-in-law even ask such a question? Does she think Ivy would be willing?

Before she could speak, Damian Sullivan spoke up: "Florence is already too busy with her own work, and now take on this task?"

"Her current work is actually quite light. She told me she wants to challenge herself.

After all, she’s an ambitious child, and since she works at our company, I can’t just say no."

Nathan Rhodes said while looking at Ivy: "So I came to ask Ivy if she minds.

If she doesn’t mind, I’ll give her the project.

It will allow her to quickly grow, and it won’t let her family down for entrusting me to take care of her."

Ivy laughed: "Mom, I mind, I disagree."

Nathan’s eyes turned a bit cold, she didn’t expect Ivy to dismiss his face so casually, without even considering it.

"Didn’t you decide not to take on this project yourself?"

She chose not to, but such a project can’t be handed to Florence: "Mom, I put my heart into securing this project, I don’t want it ruined by someone else."

"Ruined?" Nathan scoffed, "Florence has received a good education and professional training at school.

You think she’ll ruin the project you brought back? Ivy, having self-confidence is good, but being overconfident is somewhat arrogant."

"Mom, I’m not trying to contradict you, but this isn’t child’s play, nor is it the right way to do a favor.

I know you like Miss Wu and want to help her grow quickly, and naturally, there’s a social aspect to this too.

But have you thought about, Miss Wu hasn’t had any experience in this area, her leading the project is just for learning’s sake.

To learn, one doesn’t necessarily have to be a leader.

In the operations department, there are many experts who work diligently, and their skills are mature in every aspect. Why don’t they get this opportunity?

Letting an inexperienced girl with connections lead those experienced and capable people, do you think that’s appropriate?

I’m not saying your arrangement is bad, I just think Miss Wu isn’t ready for such a big project yet.

Her desire to learn is good, she can assist the project leader as an assistant.

That’s also a great learning opportunity.

If she goes straight to being a high-ranking official, how can she learn?

As a leader, even if others want to teach her, they wouldn’t dare.

Of course, Mom, this is just my shallow analysis, and I might offend you with my words, but since I managed to get this project, I believe I should have a say."

Nathan’s expression was cold and silent. Recently, she had been trying to be patient with Ivy.

Just because Damian Sullivan said she should have enough patience with her daughter-in-law.

When she listened to these words with a different mindset, she did find some sense in them.

But Ivy indeed didn’t know how to speak, can’t she refuse indirectly? This way of questioning her made Nathan unhappy.

Damian Sullivan chuckled, arms folded: "What Ivy said makes sense, I also disagree with letting Florence take over this task.

Actually, I’ve wanted to mention this to you earlier, it’s understandable that you like this young Miss Wu.

But this girl has no patience, she’s changed positions many times in our company, hasn’t she?

You tell me, has she ever lasted more than three months? You previously said she wanted to experience the work norms of every department.

But if she really wants to experience, starting from the grassroots is the best.

If I let her start at the grassroots, you’d definitely say it would be a loss of face.

But our Twilight Group is not what it used to be.

We prepare for use, and clearly, Miss Wu’s mind isn’t on work right now.

Sometimes, you can indulge her as an aunt, but since her family entrusted their child to us, I think you also have an obligation to make the right demands at the right time.

That’s how you don’t let down your friend’s trust."

Ivy inwardly applauded her father-in-law, father-in-law, well done!

Nathan picked up her cup and took a sip of water, forcefully suppressing her anger.

"Alright, alright, I was just asking casually, look at you two.

I’ll go back to discuss this project with Florence this afternoon. If she genuinely wants to do it, let her start as an assistant."
