Chapter 164: Her bottom line

When they arrived at the Yu Corporation, Nian Xiaomu placed Xiao Liuliu in the care of the assistant at the president’s office before heading to the public relations department.

Shangxin had agreed to meet her in the morning to discuss the endorsement deal.

She had to prepare the soundproof meeting room first.

In addition, she had to reprint the amended contract…

As she ran through the list of things she had to do in her head, Nian Xiaomu headed straight back to her own department.

“Will you be applying for approval to head out today, Supervisor Nian?” the secretary asked politely when she saw her.

Everyone in the public relations department was aware that Nian Xiaomu had been out and about to find a way to reach Shangxin for the endorsement deal.

When a few colleagues heard the secretary’s question, they turned toward Nian Xiaomu.

“I don’t need to go out today…” Before Nian Xiaomu could finish her reply, an exaggerated voice spoke out from behind.

“Oh, not going out? Supervisor Nian, isn’t it a bit too soon to face reality and admit defeat?” asked Fang Lan sarcastically as she entered the office and walked past Nian Xiaomu.

Nian Xiaomu furrowed her brow, but did not want to argue with her over it.

She stepped past Fang Lan to return to her seat.

Seeing that she did not reply, Fang Lan assumed that she had been given the cold-shoulder treatment a few times and was finally giving up. She went on to snub her more.

“Don’t forget our bet, Nian Xiaomu. If you cannot get Shangxin to sign the endorsement contract, then it proves that you are not qualified to stay in our public relations department!”

“Xiaolan, it’s still too early to say. Why are you bringing this up now?” One of her colleagues felt that she was going overboard and pulled her aside to remind her to watch her words.

From the start to the present, Fang Lan had been going on about this bet on her own while Nian Xiaomu had not promised anything.

In addition, Nian Xiaomu was a supervisor in the public relations department. Fang Lan had stepped out of line by talking to her superior like this!

“Even so, I still believe that no one can convince Shangxin… Don’t tell me that none of you feel the same as me?” a voice muttered softly.

When they heard this, many people fell silent.

Fang Lan perked up at those words, and her expression turned haughty.

Since she had already openly challenged Nian Xiaomu, she could shed all pretense of cordiality.

If she could use this opportunity to chase Nian Xiaomu away, she would be the main helper behind Xie Jingjing’s reinstatement!

“Even if we give her a year instead of a week, she will not be able to convince Shangxin. Don’t you guys know that someone tried to pass off as a fan to meet Shangxin at her events, but did not even get to see her manager?”

“…”

“I say let’s not waste any more time depending on a person like this. We should discuss how to explain the situation to the manager to avoid getting implicated by her!”

Fang Lan walked forward, and as she passed Nian Xiaomu, she intentionally shoved her with her shoulder!

The look in Nian Xiaomu’s eyes became sharp. “Wait!”

“What, Supervisor Nian? You were standing there and blocking my way. I only accidentally bumped into you. What do you want?” Fang Lan raised her voice to get the attention of the surrounding colleagues who looked over.

If Nian Xiaomu were to reprimand her for bumping into her, it would make everyone think that Nian Xiaomu was petty.

Nian Xiaomu ignored her sabotaging ruse and faced the people who were looking at them. She slowly said, “I remember you said before that if I manage to sign the deal with Shangxin, you will get down on your knees and apologize to me.”
