C83 An Olive Branch

"You really don't understand?" Lu Yuan smiled.

In front of a man who had gone through so much and settled down over the years, regardless of whether he was telling the truth or lying, or testing him out for a certain purpose, it all seemed to be meaningless. He would see through it at a glance, and it would make people feel as if there was nowhere to hide.

"You have the right to fight for more for yourself after you hand in a beautiful report card. This is a rare opportunity. If you give up, there will be no room for regrets after you leave this office. "

He made it very clear.

He also believed that if Lin Jia was a smart person, she would know how to choose.

Lin Jia acted like a cute and new person. She smiled bitterly and shook her head seriously.

"I believe that the company will have suitable arrangements. "

Her repeated rejection indirectly expressed her desire to draw a clear line with Lu Yuan.

Seeing the uncompromising expression on her face, Lu Yuan's eyes turned serious.

"Have you ever thought about a major project like Silken Jade? Generally speaking, it would not be casually handed over to someone it did not trust. It involved too many aspects and involved too many things. And HMH had f * cking accumulated in the country for so many years. From top to bottom, there was no lack of cash flow, and there was no lack of talent. But in the end, You became the overall person-in-charge of the project and obtained such an opportunity to prove yourself. Didn't you think about why? "

Lu Yuan's hint made Lin Jia's heart tighten.

"Did you notice that from the moment the project was set up, the entire HK had turned on the green light for Jin Xiu. Resources were needed to be given to her, and information was needed to be given to her. You've also led a team and done projects before, but when has it ever been so smooth and smooth? "

Lin Jia was speechless.

What Lu Yuan said was precisely the part where she and her team members felt the most deeply. Processing a project was not easy. There were all sorts of obstacles coming from all directions. This project indeed had a broad future and had considerable profits, but this was not the reason why everyone went all out to assist.

The fact was that from the beginning of the project until the end, only two-thirds of the expected time was spent. This helped Lin Jia to fulfill all the members of the project team.

"After the project team was established, there were two new members who wanted to join but were rejected by you. Since then, The Jin Xiu project team maintained the appearance that you had initially chosen, not adding another person or reducing another person. You spent time smoothing out the interpersonal relationships within the group and cultivating a highly coordinated team. This is also the reason why the entire project was extremely successful in an extremely short period of time. "

Lu Yuan crossed his hands and looked at Lin Jia, who had remained silent all this while.

"How is it? Am I right?"

Lin Jia nodded and said even less. "Yes. "

"Haven't you thought about the reason?" Lu Yuan said.

"The workload is heavy, and the trivial matters are noisy. The Jin Xiu Project is a challenge to the extreme in the first place. What I think every day is to do my best to bite off this hard bone. I don't have time to think about other things that will distract me. " She was telling the truth.

When Lu Yuan heard this, his smile disappeared.

"It's a good idea to maintain neutrality. But have you ever thought that there would be a chance for you to be independent and carry out your initial plan to the end? It's now and then. The time has come for you to make a choice!" Lu Yuan stared at her. " This time, you have to choose even if you want to. You have to choose even if you don't want to! "

"I really didn't expect to hear such a long lesson from CEO Lu. I've benefited a lot from it. I'm very grateful! As for some things, I need time to go back and think about them. The project team is still finishing up. It's not suitable for me to leave for too long. Look - "Lin Jia revealed a troubled expression.

"Do you know who recommended you to bring this project?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

This was a completely unexpected question. Lin Jia was stunned.

The tiny details attracted Lu Yuan's cheerful smile, "Looks like that good junior brother of mine became a hero behind the scenes who didn't leave his name after doing a good deed. "

Lin Jia:???

She hesitated for a few minutes. "You're saying - Su Huai?"

Lu Yuan neither gave an affirmative answer nor directly denied it.

"This Junior Brother of mine is controversial because he's too young. His shortcoming is that he just graduated from school and hasn't had the time to accumulate even more industry experience before coming to work as a f * cking senior executive. He can't convince the public. " Lu Yuan waved his hand. "But the difference in a person's ability is never measured by age or experience. I think highly of Su Huai. "

Lin Jia listened quietly and did not interrupt. Intuition told her that Lu Yuan had something to say in his words. The real point that he wanted to express was not here.

Indeed, after a slight pause, Lu Yuan said in a profound tone, "The truly suitable candidate for the Silken Program in my heart is Su Huai, but Su Huai told me that he trusts you more. "

The process of the matter was always much simpler than imagined.

Lin Jia originally wanted to ask why, but she suddenly recalled that the Huo Department had carried out an unceasing investigation on Su Huai, and the most core accusation was Su Huai's academic qualifications for fraud. Although he still hadn't brought out a definite result until now, it didn't mean that Su Huai had already gotten rid of suspicion.

If he abandoned the emotional factor and stood on an objective standpoint to judge, Huo Ming's accusation might not be baseless, and Su Huai's side might not be innocent and innocent.

He didn't personally take over Jin Xiu and instead gave the rare opportunity to her. The real reason was perhaps. . .

"You seized the opportunity and did not let down everyone's expectations. My impression of you also changed because of this. Lin Jia, I formally invite you, I hope you can consider taking over the position of manager of the Department of Industry "

Lu Yuan had just finished speaking when his secretary knocked on the door and walked in with a polite and decent smile. "Director Lu, your guest has arrived. "

"Then, today's conversation can only end here. Lin Jia, I hope to get your answer as soon as possible. Goodbye. "

When the secretary came out, she also took her to the elevator.

The secretary chatted with Lin Jia for a while, but it didn't hurt her. She expressed her appreciation for Lin Jia by accident. Before they parted ways, he didn't forget to assist his boss a little, "CEO Lu occasionally mentions you. Miss Lin, your excellent work ability is very admirable. "

"Thank you. "

After being praised, all that was left in Lin Jia's heart was anxiety. The project was about to end, and the conflict between her office factions, which had troubled her, surfaced once again. It was even more intense than before. It was so violent that even she felt nervous.

That's right!

A Buddhist department that did not lean on anyone was the center of attention because they had completed the company's most popular project this year.

She did not rely on the land department, nor did she lean towards the Huo department. If she wanted to be independent, she would instead become the focal point of both parties, which was incompatible with each other. She had no choice but to make this choice. Either she left the f * ck, or she chose to compromise.

The workplace was life. There were many difficulties. If she did not advance, she would retreat.

The sense of accomplishment that Jin Xiu had brought her swiftly vanished without a trace.

Returning to her desk, Lin Jia drew a thick red circle on the 19th day of the calendar.

At 1 PM on the 19th, she had to listen to the summary report of the investigation team.

At 7 PM on the 19th, the Jin Xiu project celebration party.

This arrangement did not seem like a coincidence.

Lin Jia smelled a trace of unfriendly atmosphere.

The problem that was placed in front of her now was the date she had decided on with Su Huai that night. Should she tell him these things in advance and make him make some preparations in advance?

Look! When work and personal life crossed paths, even she was unable to avoid violating the initial principles and started to consider even more.

Lin Jia was in a dilemma for an entire afternoon but was completely destroyed by a call from Su Huai to cancel the date. He solemnly expressed his apology. He repeatedly emphasized that he didn't stand up on purpose. He was really very busy, right? It only took a dozen or so seconds to chat with her. However, he was interrupted three times in such a short period of time. Lin Jia wanted to explain some things over the phone, but he didn't have time to listen.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jia felt slightly awkward. However, she still had a lot of work to do, so once she got busy, she forgot about it.

Silky Success had caused quite a stir within the HMF.

The members of the project team instantly became the focal point in everyone's eyes.

Lin Jia, the project manager, had even received countless greetings. Regardless of whether it was sincere or fake, Lin Jia had spent a long period of time being the center of attention.

That morning, Lin Jia's expression was a little bad. She did not enter her working state as usual. Instead, she glanced at the team member who was sitting crookedly on a chair without any spirit.

"The project is a success. Everyone can't help but feel happy. I can understand that. But to leak the final result of the project so early and make it known to everyone, do you think this is appropriate? " When it comes to business, The coldness on Lin Jia's face did not dissipate as she slammed her palm on the table. She was also trying her best to suppress her anger. However, she had been greeted too many times recently. She was not Zhang Yang's personality, but she started to be proud of herself before she could do anything. Deep down, she was unwilling to do such a thing.

The team members looked at each other. I looked at you, and each face was filled with surprise.

Xiao Zhu was the first to speak. "Boss, actually, we've been secretly discussing this matter for the past few days. None of us in our group are rookies. We know the rules in our industry. As for what we should do and what we shouldn't do, we don't need anyone to remind us. I will take the lead to express my stance. This matter definitely didn't leak out from me. "

Kitty also raised her hand: "It's not me either, the members of the information group that are related to the project will not casually exchange the data in their hands, and those who are not related to the project will also not mention anything related to the project"

Assistant Bei shook his head: "I'm so busy that I don't even have time to go home and shower and change my clothes. I don't even have time to gossip with people! My only wish in the past few months is to have three days off. Turn off the phone and let me sleep for a long time. I'm so sleepy. "

The others also expressed their opinions one after another.

One by one, they opened their mouths, but their expressions didn't seem to be fake.

Lin Jia quietly listened, "If it wasn't news from our group, who would it be?"

"The end of the project is set on the 19th, and this time wasn't set by our team from the start. " Great God stretched out his arm with all his might. He stretched and yawned. "I don't think the members of the team can't control their mouth and say whatever they want. After all, it's not a project for one person. No one has any idea. What if something unexpected happens in the middle? If it doesn't end on schedule, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Besides, if it doesn't end on schedule, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Everyone knew that there was no invisible wall in this world, and leaking information was sensitive to begin with. If they were targeted, it wasn't just because they couldn't f * cking stay in the HMF. It would also leave an unerasable stain on their career. Those who could not control their mouth were not smart people. However, I think that everyone in this group is smart. "

Lin Jia snapped her fingers. "Great God is right. "

During the meeting, she didn't mention these things that had nothing to do with work.

After the meeting ended, Lin Jia seemed to have forgotten about the unhappiness before the meeting started and directly left with the folder.

Great God and Kitty followed behind her from left to right. When there were fewer people, they opened their mouths together, "Boss, do you have any suspects in your heart?"

Lin Jia shook her head, "At this point, it doesn't matter who did it. "

"But. . . " Kitty looked angry.

"At the meeting, the Great God's words made a lot of sense. In this world, there is never a wall that can't be seen through. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions and actions. Alright, get ready to go to the celebration party! The company has not only arranged for the photographers, but also for the photography team to film a promotional video. Everyone has to be treated with the best appearance. "

Kitty exaggeratedly covered her face. "Oh my god, is skincare still in time? I want two pieces of rejuvenating facial masks every day. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take enough makeup on that day. "

Lin Jia smiled and shook her head.

When everyone was busy except for her, she quietly took off her leisurely expression, and her gaze became a little more serious.

It wasn't that the guild members were spreading the news. That's somebody else adding fuel to the fire. Lu Yuan personally threw an olive branch over. Su Huai was unusually busy, and the investigation team made another appointment. There was also the strange expression that He Cheng showed from time to time. These various phenomena seemed to be brewing something.

What could it be?

She tried to straighten it out, but there was suddenly an additional person beside her. He used an even more resentful gaze to glare at her coldly.

Zhang Xiaoyan!

It had been a few days since she last saw her.

"What's up?"

The misunderstanding between the two of them had never been resolved. It wasn't that Lin Jia didn't want to. It was just that whenever Zhang Xiaoyan spoke to her, she would bring her emotions into the picture with a gun in her hand. She wouldn't be able to handle what had happened before rationally.

"Manager He asked me to send this over. He wants you to sign it after you finish reading it. I'll bring it back to the company before I get off work. "

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoyan threw an item next to Lin Jia.

"Go over there and wait. " Lin Jia pushed the document to the edge of the table. "I'll read it when I have time. "

"You have to give it to me before you get off work. " Zhang Xiaoyan emphasized domineeringly.

"You know the f * * king workflow very well. Every job will be categorized according to emergency, emergency, and normal. Strictly speaking, the work you submitted does not belong to my normal work scope. Of course, The two companies have been working together for the same project, and I also need to cooperate. But it doesn't mean that you need to put your problem at the forefront to deal with. "

When Lin Jia said this, her gaze remained calm as she looked at Zhang Xiaoyan. The calmer she was, the more irritable she became.

Look, it was indeed very easy to be uncalm and impartial when it came to personal feelings when it came to work. It was even to the extent that she did not know what was going on.

"Let's see how many more days you can be proud of yourself. " Zhang Xiaoyan was so angry that she turned around and left. Just as she was about to leave the house, she fiercely said those words.

A strange feeling arose in Lin Jia's heart.

This strange feeling continued until she got off work and returned home, but it still hadn't completely disappeared.

Zeng Xiaoru stayed in the house. It was extraordinarily lively to have one more person and three cats in the house.

Lin Jia held the fragrant curry rice in her hands and took big bites out of respect.

"Jiajia, after you finish your project, you won't be as busy as you are now, leaving early and returning late at night. " She supported her face. She looked at her expectantly. "When you moved in, I was worried that I would disturb your daily routine! I heard that when you're single for a long time, you'll enjoy a person's life, but. . . " She dragged out her voice. She sighed, "I didn't expect that. . . You left early and returned late, even if I wanted to disturb you. You. . . "

When Lin Jia woke up early and left, Zeng Xiaoru was still dreaming.

When Lin Jia got off work and went home to rest, Zeng Xiaoru was already resting.

It was not easy to sit together and eat and chat like this.

"I should be able to rest for a while after the project is completed, but who knows? I've been in the hospital for so many years. Working overtime, rushing, and speeding up are normal. I really don't have time to rest steadily. " Lin Jia put the clean plate on the table. Holding a cup of hot tea, she let out a satisfied sigh. "There must be a woman in this house to look like a home. "

Zeng Xiaoru burst into laughter. "Don't use such a manly tone to speak. You want to laugh at me and then inherit my bank credit card?"

Influenced by Lin Jia's mood, Zeng Xiaoru hugged a lazy fat cat and sat beside her. "You've been busy since graduation. Haven't you ever thought about finding a man to flirt with and adjust your boring life? I remember your neighbor's brother's last name is Liao, right? Isn't he quite interested in you? Why haven't you achieved positive results after so many years of hard work?"

Lin Jia didn't want to talk about things related to Liao Junsheng, much less mention it.

Zeng Xiaoru was just gossiping. Lin Jia didn't even want to talk about it. She just rolled her eyes at Zeng Xiaoru and said, "I fell in love with a man. Isn't life boring and boring? Everything is fine. Everything went well? Not really! Most people thought that they would fall into the honey jar when they found a decent partner. From then on, their lives would be filled with pink heart-shaped bubbles. But who knew that the last storm, the waves, the snot, and the tears are often brought by that person. "

Zeng Xiaoru's expression stiffened. " You mean. . . It's me? "

"It's not just you. It's the same for everyone else. In fact, it was just a simple explanation. Love needs to be cautious, the people need to suffer, the people need to worry about money, and the effort needs to be put into it. Maybe it's better to work overtime at the company!" Su Huai's figure naturally appeared in Lin Jia's mind.

That man seemed to be distant to her, sometimes distant, sometimes close. When they were together, they could clearly feel that he had used a few thoughts on her, but once they separated, it was as if he had gone missing. There was no phone call, no information, no idea where he was, who he was with, and what he was doing.

He said that he was busy, very busy.

Actually, she was also very busy, especially busy.

It was actually not suitable for two busy people to be together.

"Strange" Zeng Xiaoru leaned closer to Lin Jia and carefully examined her face. Then, she quickly made a judgment. "Why do you have an aggrieved expression? Who are you thinking about, right? "

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't think of anyone. I'm just thinking about tomorrow's work. It's already the 19th. For everyone, including me, It should be the most relaxing day, but my eyelids keep twitching. . . It's as if something bad is about to happen. " Lin Jia pressed her temple and gently rubbed it a few times. "No, I have to go rest. Good night. I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to look for antiseptic. I'll eat two at a time tonight and sleep well all night. Rest well and prepare yourself so that we can deal with it tomorrow. "

"There must be someone in your heart! Lin Jia, you should really look in the mirror and see how guilty you are right now. " Zeng Xiaoru grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia quickly turned around and caught it with her dexterity.

"You were wrong. " She would never admit that there was no such thing as a coffin closing. Never!

- - -

Number Nineteen, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.

Lin Jia stood in front of the company's main door and took a deep breath. It was as if there was an order in her heart: Lin Jia, smile.

After adjusting her condition, she walked out of the elevator.

Zhou Si Yu waved at her as usual. "Miss Lin, after the project ends, you will return to the Industrial Department to work, right?"

The Industrial Department and the front desk were on the same floor. In the past, when Zhou Si Yu was making health tea, she would always give her a cup from time to time. Ever since they moved to the high-floor office with the project team, there were fewer opportunities for them to meet.

"It should be coming back, but it's not confirmed yet. We have to wait for the arrangements at the office. " Lin Jia finished typing the card and headed to the small elevator.

Zhou Siyu ran over from behind. "Miss Lin, did you agree to Deputy Director Su's request?"

Lin Jia almost tripped over her high heels.

She lowered her voice and reminded, "Don't talk nonsense. That's not true. "

"You're blushing! I seem to have understood something. " Zhou Siyu laughed secretly. Without waiting for Lin Jia to confirm anything, she turned around and returned to her job.

If Lin Jia wanted to deny it again, she would have to follow her back to the front desk.

But if she followed her because of this matter, she seemed to be very guilty.

She helplessly let out a long sigh and decided to ignore this matter for the time being. She had some interactions with him before, and she felt that Zhou Siyu was still trustworthy. Although the little girl was eccentric and eccentric, her worldview was still quite upright.

In the project team, the team members were already packing up.

The last report was submitted last night. Everyone's report was submitted in the following week. Next, besides celebrating, the most important thing was to pack up and wait for the dissolution order. Of course, they still had to return to their original offices to accept new tasks.

Someone saw Lin Jia leave. He came in and greeted her with a smile.

"Boss, do you need someone to carry it? There are a few strong men standing here, please don't be polite. It should be useful, and I'm willing to help you. "

Lin Jia refused, "I haven't even started packing! She was not in a hurry to go back. She could still hide here for a few days. If she went back to Team Two, the desk in front of her would be piled up like a mountain in less than an hour. "

Everyone laughed as well. The atmosphere was especially relaxed.

It was as if this was the most relaxed and stressful moment since the establishment of the project team.

"Lin Jia?" Someone called out to her.

At the entrance of the project team, Zhang Di stood there with seven or eight people. When he saw her turn around, he raised his hand and waved it gently. "It's time to set off. "

Lin Jia's expression instantly turned cold.

"Boss? Isn't that. . . " Kitty swallowed the second half of the sentence back into her mouth.

"You guys continue with your work. Remember to go to the hotel early in the afternoon. Don't be late for the celebration party! No need. . . Wait for me. "

She had a premonition that she would have a difficult time today.

- - - ----

Following behind Zhang Di, Lin Jia didn't say a word.

Sitting in the elevator, Zhang Di smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, breakfast is very sumptuous, and your appetite is also very good. " Lin Jia calmly faced him.

"Not bad. " Zhang Di pressed the elevator button. It turned out to be the floor of Huo Ming and Lu Yuan's high-class office.

Lin Jia did not miss this small detail. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. "We should be going to the small conference room, right?"
