Predestined Marriage
Chapter 84: Screw up a Project

"Douglas" took the document from her and said indifferently, "In case you forget, your major has nothing to do with business."

Summer was tongue-tied.

She knew that he had already investigated her when they got married. It was not a surprise that he knew her major and the fact that she was utterly ignorant of doing business. "Douglas" skimmed through it before putting it aside. He frowned.

Summer asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Douglas" glanced at her and said, "There's nothing valuable in it. The Jarrett Group won't secure the project."

Dishes were served and Leonardo picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Summer picked the document up doubtfully and read it again. She was unable to wrap her head around.

However, since she asked "Douglas" for help, she should trust him. Summer didn't ask any question.

In the afternoon, Vicky went to negotiation along with her team.

The company that they were going to cooperate was Tengsen Ltd., a medium-sized business in Hoover City. Its business prospects were better than the Jarrett Group.

They waited at the conference room. The person in charge of the project came after a while.

The manager was a middle-aged woman in her forty. Her hair was dressed meticulously. She seemed to be very competent.

Vicky stood up and greeted her in an arrogant manner, "Ms. Flora, nice to see you again."

Ms. Flora glanced at her and sat down, ignoring her greeting. She cut to the chase, "I made it very clear last time that you need to show your sincerity for the negotiation to continue."

Vicky turned to look at Summer and said to Ms. Flora, "My father, the chairman of the Jarrett Group, sent his two daughters to discuss the project. Isn't this enough?"

Ms. Flora darted an impatient look at Summer and her expression became even gloomier. She hated people who pulled strings. She had never liked Vicky. The fact that Vicky brought a useless sister to the negotiation annoyed Ms. Flora even further.

"Sorry, I have a meeting at three o'clock. Excuse me." Ms. Flora stood up and left.

"Douglas" said the Jarrett Group would not secure the project. Summer finally knew why.

Ms. Flora was not a pushover and she looked down on Vicky. But Vicky put on airs as if she was someone very important, and even brought Summer to the negotiation, which annoyed Ms. Flora. Seeing Ms. Flora leaving, Vicky said, "Summer is inexperienced, but she is very hard working. Ms. Flora, why don't you give it a second thought?"

Ms. Flora's footsteps quickened.

Summer frowned and had a vague idea of why Vicky brought her here.

Ms. Flora should be in the management of the company. She was experienced and a senior leader. But the Jarrett Group sent Vicky who wasn't capable enough. Now, Summer made things even worse. This was an insult to Ms. Flora and a disregard for the project.

When Ms. Flora was out, Vicky turned around with a long face and scolded Summer, "Daddy values this project very much. Now that you've screwed it up, let's see how he will punish you!" Summer didn't expect that.

She clearly didn't say a single word when Ms. Flora was here. How come she was the one who screwed up the project and left to bear the blame?

Summer turned to look at the other two employees in the team. When they noticed her gaze, they turned to look elsewhere. Obviously, they were with Vicky.

"What are you waiting for? Are you expecting Ms. Flora to come back?" Summer tilted her chin, looked at Summer contemptuously, and left.

Summer followed behind and walked out slowly.

To Summer, Vicky was a downright fool who would bully her at the price of an important project for the Jarrett Group.

Vicky was spoiled. She was able to have a comfortable and respectable life because of the company. But she treated the project as a joke.

If she continued, the Jarrett Group would be doomed.

Upon returning to the company, Vicky and Summer went to Lynn's office.

Lynn just finished a meeting. He asked when he saw Vicky and Summer, "You've been to the negotiation. Did it go well?"

Eyes reddening, Vicky bit her lips and explained, "Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have involved Summer in the Tengsen project."

But she was interrupted. Lynn said angrily, "Tengsen? Who told you to negotiate that project?"

Lynn knew his own daughter very well. He had attached great importance to Tengsen's project. Aware of the fact that Vicky wouldn't make it, he prepared to delay the negotiation until he found a proper negotiator.

"Summer said that she wanted to prove herself and deal with big projects. I was softhearted and said yes to her requirement."

What Vicky was self-contradictory, but Lynn loved her more. Even if he knew she was lying, he would only vent his anger on Summer.

"Summer! I transferred you to the project department for you to learn things. You're not there to hinder Vicky and ruin the project!"

Lynn's expression was gloomy. He wished he could slap Summer in the face.

Summer looked coldly at them and sneered. She said, "Vicky doesn't need me to hinder her. She is already a big hindrance to the project! She can't do anything! Ask yourself how many projects she has negotiated and how many she has messed up since she joined in the group!"

"Summer, don't talk nonsense! I secured numerous projects every year for the company. I have worked hard with my team!"

Vicky shook her head sadly and blamed her, "I was committed to the company, but you only care about yourself and have screwed up such an important project. Now you're blaming me for your selfishness. How can you be such a jerk!"

Vicky was so good at acting that it sounded very true.

"You know too well whether you're committed to the company or not." Summer sneered.

Being stared like this, Vicky felt guilty.

"Of course I'm!" Vicky raised her voice to conceal her guilt.

Lynn shouted to stop their fight, "Alright! Go back! Both of you!"

Vicky refused to leave. Her purpose today was to chase Summer out of the project department.

"Dad, Summer shouldn't remain in the project department! You should transfer her back to the marketing department!"

What Summer said still echoed. Lynn recalled that ever since the project department was taken over by Vicky, its performance had been in decline.

"Get out!" He said impatiently.

"Dad!" Vicky called out, unwilling to accept the fact. But she could only turn around and leave.☐☐¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
