In the meeting room, only Song Zhizhi’s voice could be heard explaining.

“Part three, a budget proposal for each project. During my time of recuperation at home, I obtained a detailed financial report for Beixia Country’s current project. I made a rough analysis of the economic level of Beixia Country and our Yanshang Country, and made a preliminary budget, detailing the funds needed for each project. However, since I don’t have a formal background in foreign trade economics and exchange rates, I cannot guarantee that the budget estimates are completely correct, so I need the support of the finance department.”

In areas where she lacked expertise, naturally, she would need external help.

“I will personally select two from the finance department to fully support this project,” Zhan Song readily agreed.

He was extremely pleased with the solution Song Zhizhi had just reported.

Compared to Yi Wenhan’s project, Yi Wenhan was abruptly relegated to nothing more than slag.

Yi Wenhan was so angry that his body trembled.

But he had to endure it.

Chu Qin was also so angry that she trembled, and she too had to endure it.

“Thank you, President Zhan,” Song Zhizhi expressed her gratitude, and then continued, “There is another significant matter I need to seek your approval on.”

“Go ahead.”

“Initially, I had planned to involve the consortium and corporations in planning this project, but after studying more deeply, I personally feel it is no longer necessary. The results from the meetings we have held so far, I was too fanciful when I talked about the more the merrier in front of Elder Ye and President Yue. More people doesn’t always amount to greater strength – instead, it might lead to a waste of time and difficulty in aligning ideas. The seminar in Beixia Country clearly demonstrated this. Everyone had their own perspective, it was hard to control opinions and difficult to reach consensus.”

As such, this was a direct slap in the face to Yi Wenhan, as he meticulously and systematically implemented the plan she had suggested without considering the reality of the situation.

“With my years of experience, I had some doubts when I first heard about this project proposal. The consortium and corporations are all driven by their interests. The suggestions they provide are usually to their own advantage, and in the end, as you have said, it only wastes time. A truly practical and advantageous solution requires us to consider from an impartial perspective.” Zhan Song agreed wholeheartedly.

“Yes.” Song Zhizhi nodded in agreement.

Yi Wenhan’s expression darkened further.

“Song Zhizhi, you’re truly beyond my expectations,” Zhan Song could not help but praise.

He was extremely satisfied with Song Zhizhi’s project plan.

Song Zhizhi smiled, “So President Zhan, do you think the project should be carried out according to Yi Wenhan’s plan, or should mine be the standard one?”

“Does that even need to be asked?” Zhan Song said with conviction, “Yi Wenhan’s plan isn’t bad, but in comparison, it appears more superficial and lacks in depth. There are many aspects that need deep thought and attention to detail, all of which Yi Wenhan’s proposal failed to demonstrate. Therefore, Yi

Wenhan. ”

Zhan Song abruptly called his name.

Yi Wenhan’s tightly clenched finger was suppressing the swelling anger.

He wore a polite smile, displaying respect, “President Zhan.”

“Although you all have just joined the Commercial Management, in terms of ability, you have a lot to learn from Song Zhizhi, in fact, everyone, not only our new colleagues, including our old employees, should learn from Song Zhizhi. The fact that she could create such an excellent plan during her leave is truly admirable.”

“Yes.” Yi Wenhan hurriedly nodded, “We should definitely study more.”

Song Zhizhi looked at Yi Wenhan and smiled.

A face full of triumph.

Her expression was capable of igniting every nerve in Yi Wenhan’s body.

She turned to look at Zhan Song, “President Zhan flatters me, there’s still a lot I need to learn from my seniors.”

Zhan Song said straightforwardly, “There’s no need for false modesty with your abilities.” Song Zhizhi laughed.

Zhan Song stood up from his seat, looking very formal, he said, “For this project, I had originally decided to change the person in charge due to Song Zhizhi’s health reasons. My team and I did not handle this properly. We failed to notify the individuals concerned in a timely manner, which led to a series of misunderstandings. Here and now, in front of everyone, I would like to apologise to Song Zhizhi.”

Song Zhizhi seemed surprised, “President Zhan, I didn’t exactly mean it that way. My earlier outburst was only because… I was very eager to participate in the project. This is the first project I have participated in since I joined Commercial Management. Furthermore, back then in the senior meeting room, both President Yue and Elder Ye assigned this project to me in front of everyone. I didn’t want to disappoint them and that’s why I got a bit out of control… For that, I owe President Zhan and everyone an apology.”

Song Zhizhi deftly shifted the blame.

Regardless of whether she was being insincere, in the workplace, one has to cautiously navigate between advancing and retreating.

“That’s not necessary,” said Zhan Song, “Being assertive at work is a basic duty of an employee and you’re responsive because you care, so you can accept this apology.” “Yes, it’S just that…” Song Zhizhi started but stopped herself.

Zhan Song looked at her, “Feel free to speak openly.”

“Actually, changes in the workplace are normal, I admit, I was too aggressive earlier. But…compared to the sudden change in my position, what bothers me more is the personal attack from Manager Chu earlier.”

Sitting below, Chu Qin was already on the edge of her anger, she never expected that at this point, Song Zhizhi would purposely bring her up.

She was so angry that her body was trembling.

Where did Song Zhizhi get this power that allows herself to shine so brightly? How can she, a 22-year-old graduate who just entered the workplace for the first time, have such a huge ability to create such an admirable, no, more than admirable, project? An achievement where even Chu Qin, who didn’t want to admit it initially would have to acknowledge it, and her twisted psyche, which didn’t want this to be real, was driving her crazy. And at this moment, Song Zhizhi pointed the blame at her.

She glared at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi said, “Manager Chu called me vain and petty.”

Chu Qin’s face darkened to the extreme.

“Given what just happened, from Manager Chu’s perspective, she probably didn’t think I was good enough. I can understand that, but now that the truth has come out, perhaps Manager Chu should also take some responsibility for her words?” Chu Qin stared straight at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi returned her gaze unflinchingly.

The entire room held their breath.

Zhan Song wisely chose not to say anything at that moment.

But in the minds of everyone else, even President Zhan had humbly apologized, Chu Qin really shouldn’t be so stubborn.

Chu Qin got the same idea too.

She was grinding her teeth flagrantly, grinding her teeth, but she didn’t say a word.

But at that moment, the meeting room was too quiet, as though everyone was expecting her to do something, if she didn’t explain herself, it seemed like this matter wouldn’t pass.

A long silence.

Finally, Chu Qin’s repressed voice filled the room, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Song Zhizhi laughed.

Such a prideful person must be on the verge of explosion huh!
