Soon, the leader of the creative team arrived—
“We also wanted to finalize the frawork early, but the communication with the external liaison team and the target company didn’t go smoothly. Many crucial pieces of information couldn’t be obtained in a tily manner, and we didn’t even receive product samples. Without those, the frawork couldn’t take shape, so it kept getting delayed…”
Shen Wan listened expressionlessly and asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to add?”
“N-nothing…” He didn’t know why he was stuttering, but he inexplicably felt that this version of President Shen was a bit intimidating.
“Alright, call the head of the external liaison team.”
In less than two minutes, the head of the external liaison team arrived
“President Shen, 1 can explain!”
“Go ahead.” Her voice was calm and steady.
“During this period, we’ve been in constant contact with the target company, but it seems they are deliberately causing problems. They not only provided incomplete product information but also kept finding faults…”
Shen Wan asked, “So, you believe the responsibility lies with the target company?”
“Not entirely, the internal issues are the main factor.”
“What internal issues?”
“I suspect the other side is intentionally making things difficult, possibly because they feel our sincerity is lacking.”
“Be more specific.”
“…Several tis, when we gathered for negotiations, the places we booked were not very upscale due to budget constraints. The person in charge on their side didn’t seem satisfied…”
“So, are you saying the problem lies with the Finance Departnt’s budgeting?”
The head of the external liaison team remained silent, but her silence spoke volus about her stance.
“Alright.” Shen Wan nodded, and there was even a hint of a smile. “Bring the head of the Finance Departnt here.”
One by one, they were called in, and as the high-level managent personnel of Mingda Group gathered in what was once a spacious office, it suddenly felt cramped, and the air grew heavy with tension.
Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes unable to hide their unease and apprehension.
As Shen Wan’s gaze swept across the room, the tension gradually turned into anxiety.
“So, who should take responsibility for this project failure, hmm?”
With these words, the previously eloquent individuals fell silent, exchanging glances several tis, but no one dared to step forward and speak.
“Okay, since none of you are volunteering, I’ll just make it clear.”
“The copywriting team is the primary party involved. Chen Xiuwen, who do you think should take responsibility?”
The woman shivered all over. “I…”
How could she respond to this? On one side was the copywriting team, and on the other were her colleagues. If she took the bla, the copywriting team would feel wronged; if she shifted bla, she would offend others.
For the first ti, Chen Xiuwen experienced what it ant to be caught between a rock and a hard place.
“I…” She struggled for words but couldn’t form a complete sentence.
“…I’m sorry, President Shen. I don’t know either,” she finally managed to say, her head lowered in embarrassnt.
Shen Wan turned her gaze elsewhere, and Chen Xiuwen’s tightly wound nerves gradually eased. Her clenched fists relaxed, and she realized her palms were soaked with sweat!
When that threatening gaze landed on the head of the external liaison team, her scalp tightened, her hair standing on end. She prayed inwardly not to be questioned, please don’t ask her…
But of course, what you fear, you often get. “Team Leader Zhao, what do you think?”
“President Shen, please… don’t make it hard for ,” Zhao Wanhui, the head of the external liaison team, responded. She lived up to her role as soone who dealt with external relations. Unlike Chen Xiuwen, who looked pale, Zhao Wanhui could at least manage a smile, though whether it looked good or not was a different matter.
“You all have no idea?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow and forced a smile. She turned her gaze to Choi Yun and asked, “Manager Choi, do you have any insights?”
Choi Yun took a deep breath; it was her turn!
The tension and anxiety that had prevailed monts ago vanished in an instant, replaced by a sense of relief as if a weight had been lifted. It was like when a teacher called on students to answer questions in class, and the ones with both good and poor grades were most likely to be called upon and most afraid of it.
Choi Yun, sowhat self-assuredly, considered herself among the forr—the ones with good grades.
Since the “teacher” had high expectations of her, it seed she couldn’t avoid putting on a show, Choi Yun thought to herself..
