Chapter 170 Find a Way
Shen Nian returned to her workstation with her laptop, unsure where to begin with the task assigned by her manager. She decided to start by researching the other company's information to see what she could learn.
She had just sat down for a short while when the team leader walked over to her.
"What's wrong? Did you get stuck?" the team leader asked Shen Nian with a smile.
Shen Nian looked up and forced a smile, finally nodding, "Yes, I really have no clue."
The team leader was the team leader of the project Shen Nian had participated in before, so they knew each other before. However, they didn't communicate much outside of work, and Shen Nian wasn't assigned to his team this time.
The team leader saw the computer screen Shen Nian had opened and said to her, "You can look at why the two parties have signed a letter of intent but haven't finalized it yet. As far as I know, the chairman of Party A is still not entirely satisfied with Party B's design draft, which is why they haven't stamped it and paid the advance payment. Try starting from this point."
Shen Nian's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt enlightened. She hadn't expected her team leader to provide her with such important information. She stood up excitedly and said, "Thank you, Team Leader Zheng."
The other person smiled and nodded, then left Shen Nian's workstation.
The reason why Team Leader Zheng helped Shen Nian was simply because Shen Nian had been very dedicated and responsible when she participated in their project before. He thought Shen Nian was a reliable and good employee, and even believed that she could perfectly solve this almost impossible task.
That's why I told her the inside information I knew.
With her mind broadened, Shen Nian regained her confidence. She decided to first find out the client's specific needs, then create a design draft and go to the client to present her ideas and see if there was a chance to sign the contract.
In short, even if there was only a very small chance, she decided to give it her all.
After making up her mind, Shen Nian began to work diligently, first writing out a detailed plan, and then starting to search for information everywhere.
Persistence pays off, and she finally found out that the chairman of Shengshi Group, the client, would be attending a charity gala on Friday night. This was probably her only chance to get close to him.
But... she doesn't have an invitation to the charity gala, how is she supposed to get in?
Shen Nian was in a dilemma again.
While searching for information everywhere, I unexpectedly came across a hotel job posting for temporary workers.
He immediately clapped his hands and decided to apply for a temporary job as a waiter!
After deciding to do this, Shen Nian picked up her bag, grabbed it, and headed out the door.
The uncle is away on a business trip. He just went to LA yesterday and will be there for a week. He said he won't be back until Saturday, so the timing is perfect.
Applying for a temporary job was no problem, but Shen Nian told the other party that she could only start work on Friday, and the other party agreed.
These past few days, Shen Nian has been working overtime to draw design drafts and has carefully studied the information of Shengshi Group from beginning to end. She discovered that the chairman of Shengshi Group is a very affectionate person. His wife has been dead for many years, but he has never remarried. He has also carried the token of his love with his wife with him all these years, which is enough to prove that they must have had a very good relationship.
Shen Nian also discovered that the project that Shengshi Group was preparing to develop was the former residence of their chairman and his late wife, and the entire development project should be centered around the former residence.
Upon finding this information, Shen Nian's design draft suddenly gained new inspiration. She decided to boldly overturn the previous design draft and redesign a new version of the blueprints, with 'love' as the core concept of the entire development project.
Shen Nian worked overtime for several nights in a row and finally finished the design drawings before Friday.
Of course, she had been subjected to a lot of sarcastic remarks from Fang Wenwen these past few days. Fang Wenwen even went to the manager and said that she did nothing, and that Fang Wenwen was the one who contacted the project manager of the other company. Fang Wenwen said that they had almost reached an agreement with the other company, and that if they could offer more discounts than the previous company, they could consider giving the project back to them.
In the end, Fang Wenwen did manage to negotiate a one percent discount with the manager, allowing her to talk to the other party.
Fang Wenwen looked at Shen Nian, who was actually drawing blueprints, and mocked, "Some people don't have to do anything and still have time to sit here and draw blueprints. It's really unlucky to have to work with people like this."
She said this while standing next to Shen Nian. Although she didn't name names, it was practically a direct attack on Shen Nian.
Everyone knows who she's talking about.
Moreover, when they heard her report to the project manager that she would be able to finalize the cooperation soon, everyone felt that Fang Wenwen was definitely going to be the project department's intern for the year.
After all, she managed to handle such a difficult situation, so she must have some ability.
Although some people actually have a better opinion of Shen Nian, especially those who have had contact with her through project collaborations, they know that she is capable, down-to-earth, and conscientious. They really didn't have to worry much about the design drawings last time.
However, given the current situation, it seems more likely that Fang Wenwen will be left behind.
As for Chen Ran, he has always been low-key and quiet. He can complete his work on time and with high quality without any mistakes, but he doesn't take the initiative to do more. Therefore, this year, everyone in the project department has focused their attention on Shen Nian and Fang Wenwen.
Shen Nian did not respond to Fang Wenwen's provocation. She would not speak carelessly about things she was not sure about.
If Fang Wenwen ultimately wins the project collaboration, she will have no complaints.
Since Fang Wenwen is unwilling to cooperate, then everyone should rely on their own abilities.
After get off work on Thursday, Shen Nian stayed at the company to revise the plans and design drafts.
It was past 8 p.m. and she still hadn't left, and she hadn't eaten dinner.
She had been sitting in front of the computer for too long, and her neck was stiff. She moved her neck and stood up to go to the tea room to get some water to moisten her lips. She hadn't eaten dinner and hadn't drunk much water either, so her mouth was extremely dry.
She stood up and looked around. Everyone had left for the day, and she was the only one left in the company. The floor was empty, and her footsteps seemed to echo.
She poured herself a cup of hot water, then turned off the light in the break room. There was only a little finishing work left; she just needed to spend another ten minutes or so fixing it before she could go home.
Shen Nian returned to her seat with her water cup and continued working.
The plan was to finish in ten minutes, but it ended up taking half an hour to shut down the computer.
After packing her backpack, she stood up to go back, but unexpectedly, all the office lights suddenly went out.
Shen Nian was startled, as she was suddenly plunged into darkness, and her heart immediately tightened.
Not knowing why the power suddenly went out, Shen Nian frantically searched for her phone on the table, accidentally knocking over her water glass on the floor.
The loud bang was particularly frightening in the quiet, dark environment.
Shen Nian's heart skipped a beat, and she was startled again.
