CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 179 YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT AGAIN (3) ADDITIONAL UPDATE

After leaving the director’s office, Vera Wave returned to the Planning Department’s office. Looking at her colleagues, she felt a bit nervous.

As a newcomer like her, how much credibility could she have? Would these people... be willing to join her team?

No matter what, this was an opportunity for her, and she must seize it.

Anyway, she had to give it a try.

"AHEM!" She cleared her throat, raising her voice, "Could everyone please stop for a moment? I... I have something to say."

Everyone stopped their work and looked up at her with puzzlement.

"Here’s the thing, my... my project proposal has been approved by Director Lin. Director Lin gave me a chance. If I can form my own team within two hours, I can compete with Kylo Sail for the Peace Neighborhood Project promotional video."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Planning Department was flabbergasted. They all stared at Vera with disbelief.

Her project proposal got approved by Director Lin, and she was competing with Kylo Sail?!

Is... she out of her mind?!

Who is Kylo Sail?

An experienced planner with her own office in the Advertising Department, a top talent, graduated from a prestigious university abroad, and a recipient of an international advertising creativity award.

And her?

A mere newcomer, and still an intern at that!

Wasn’t this like an egg striking a rock?

Everyone, without exception, averted their gaze.

"Vera!" Merlin Bradley, the female colleague sitting behind her, lightly pulled her arm, "Give it up. If Kylo Sail hears about this, it won’t end well."

Ashton Company has always advocated competition, not just external, but also internal.

The Ad Department was no different. If a project had exceptional creative ideas, it would trigger a competitive bidding process. The winner would get the project, which meant not only an opportunity but also bountiful project rewards.

If the opponent was Kylo Sail, everyone would spontaneously give up. As a result, she generally had first pick of all the major projects in the company. The others only got the leftovers.

"What do you mean ’won’t end well’?!"

Just as they were speaking, a light CLICK-CLACK of high heels was heard, and a young woman with short, sleek hair strode into the Planning Department.

A sharp black suit, slim-fit trousers, thin eyebrows, red lips... The young woman in front exuded an elite impression from head to toe.

Merlin Bradley lightly tugged at Vera’s arm, "Oh... never mind. Morning, Kylo Sail."

Kylo Sail nodded slightly, but her eyes did not glance at Merlin Bradley. She walked towards her own office. "I’m about to start on the Peace Neighborhood project very soon. Anyone who wishes to join my team can sign up with my assistant."

Vera took a deep breath, "Kylo Sail!"

Kylo Sail stopped and turned to look at her. "What is it?"

Vera walked up and spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, "I am honored to compete with you for the Peace Neighborhood project."

Beneath her thin eyebrows, Kylo Sail’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. There was clear uncertainty in her gaze, which returned to its usual cold and aloof expression after a moment.

"May I ask, who are you?"

"I am a new employee, Vera Wave. Nice to meet you." Smiling, Vera extended her hand.

A newbie?

The corners of Kylo Sail’s mouth lifted in a disdainful sneer. "Apologies, I have just applied hand cream."

Seeing her walk away, Merlin Bradley gently patted Vera’s shoulder. "Don’t take it to heart. She’s always aloof. It’s clear we are nobodies in her eyes. Just get used to it."

Vera turned her face, her gaze landing on Merlin Bradley. "Merlin, will you join my team?"

...

Happy Holidays.
