From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 161 - : Ten Million Level Project

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Ten Million Level Project

Qiao Yi arrived at the company only to find almost everyone looking at her with an oddly hateful gaze, while the manager of her department was apologetic, waiting at the entrance of the office.

“So, has someone in the company exposed my identity?”

“Yes, we are investigating this issue and will give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.”

Who would do such a boring thing, if not Qiao Xin, Qiao Yi couldn’t think of anyone else.

“No need, just keep the investigation quiet, don’t be too conspicuous. Also, call a general meeting in half an hour, I have something to announce.”

Since Qiao Xin had already made her move, Qiao Yi would just follow suit.

Walking from the main entrance to her department and on to the conference room, everyone’s gaze at Qiao Yi varied, but jealousy and dissatisfaction constituted the majority.

Qiao Yi didn’t know exactly what Qiao Xin had exposed among her colleagues, but the male colleagues were fine, almost all the female colleagues looked at Qiao Yi with resentment.

It was as if Qiao Yi had stolen their boyfriends.

Ignoring these thoughts, Qiao Yi gathered some materials and went straight to the meeting room to wait.

As people received the meeting notice and arrived one by one, those who were joking or playing quieted down as soon as they entered the meeting room and saw Qiao Yi sitting in the head position.

Time passed slowly, and the meeting room increasingly filled, leaving those who came later to stand at the back without places to sit.

Qiao Yi ignored this, and just focused on her computer without looking up.

Once the half-hour passed, Qiao Yi stood up under everyone’s gaze and gave the department director a look to close the door of the meeting room.

Qiao Yi scanned the room; those who were initially whispering and pointing at Qiao Yi immediately fell silent.

“Today, I have brought everyone here to discuss two matters. First, I am indeed the second daughter of President Qiao Benqing of Qiao Family, and the wife of President Lu Yanchuan of Lu Group, the so-called rich second-generation lady you speak of.”

“Second, this month I will form a team specifically to liaise with clients who bring in tens of millions, if anyone believes they are capable enough, feel free to come to me.”

After delivering her speech, Qiao Yi waved to the department director and passed the materials in her hand to him.

“You host the rest of the meeting.”

Qiao Yi returned to her original seat, completely indifferent to the shock her words caused among the attendants.

What defines arrogance? What is pride?

Qiao Yi had given them a vivid lesson.

When there is an absolute gap in status and identity, any jealousy or animosity is a joke.

Qiao Xin tried to trip Qiao Yi up with her identity, so Qiao Yi simply acknowledged it.

She is a rich heiress, she is from a good family, she is indeed starting from a higher point than them – so what?

Don’t talk about fairness; where is the fairness in this world? What exists is only reality.

And now the reality is that Qiao Yi is indeed above them, and if they want to move up, they must pass through her.

Frustrating? Unfair? This is society, this is life. Just like how Qiao Yi can act approachably when in a good mood, and use her status to crush them when she’s not.

The content of the meeting that followed mattered to no one; they only cared about the two statements Qiao Yi had made.

Or rather, they had forgotten the first statement right after hearing it, but the second statement concerned them significantly.

Qiao Group isn’t an old company in Capital City, but it still gets quite a few multimillion-dollar contracts, each of which is handled by a dedicated team.

The company refers to these teams as “elite groups,” and though the name may sound exaggerated, it’s undeniable that being able to secure such projects did make one an elite in the company.

Qiao Yi now had such a project in her hands, which Qiao Qiao left especially to support his sister.

The other party is an international group entering the domestic market for the first time, establishing connections with Qiao Qiao through a college classmate of his.

Typically, domestic companies vied to work on such international projects for two main reasons: foreign businesses are unfamiliar with the domestic market, giving local companies significant room for negotiation during collaborations.

And secondly, companies looking to open new markets are generally generous, thus profits can be quite flexible.

Understanding all this, Qiao Yi decisively decided to take on the project, and her first step was to create a liaison team.

The team formation went smoothly; Qiao Group’s employees were mostly under the age of thirty-five, enthusiastic about their work, and coupled with the lure of Qiao Yi’s bonus, a ten-person team was assembled within two days.

Maybe it was the effect of the words Qiao Yi spoke at the meeting, but in the days that followed, the company staff no longer stared at her like defensive hens.

However, Qiao Yi didn’t have the time to care about their attitude towards her anymore, because the corporate partner had sent a message that their inspection team had arrived domestically, and a meeting had been scheduled for noon.

“I’m so nervous!”

“Stop talking! You’re making me nervous too! Look, Ms. Qiao isn’t nervous, so you be quiet!”

Qiao Yi brought the two youngest girls from the team; though it’s not nice to say, but knowing the inspection team consisted entirely of grown men, it seemingly would be smoother with “ladies’ troops.”

There were five members in the arriving inspection team, all handsome blonds and blued-eyed men. If Qiao Yi hadn’t honed her aesthetic standards under Lu Yanchuan, she might have been just like these two tongue-tied young girls.

Seems like the other party thought the same as she did, using such shameless tactics of sending handsome men!

Qiao Yi sneered internally, quietly rolled her eyes at her two useless subordinates, staring them into nervous silence, then greeted the arriving with a cheerful smile.

“It’s very nice to meet you, Mr. Jenfors.”

Mr. Jenfors, the most handsome among the group, ignored the extended hand from Qiao Yi and came forward to give Qiao Yi a warm hug instead.

“What a pleasure to meet you, Miss Qiao, such a beautiful lady!”
