Chapter 83 The company has changed personnel
"Elijah said, 'Girls are timid, let alone a young lady like her.' Brandon pursed his lips but didn't say anything. Victoria arrived at the company quickly. The company had obviously undergone a transformation. As soon as she entered, Yesenia came over and said, 'Victoria, the company has a new boss. President Gray seems to have been fired, and we have a new President Jenkins who seems very nice.' Victoria already knew that the company had been acquired by Grayson and that there would be a major shakeup in the upper management. 'Isn't that a good thing?' Victoria said. Yesenia nodded eagerly, 'Yes, yes, I'm so happy. Holly has also left. I heard that it was publicly announced that all the designs done in her name were actually done by other designers. Without Fang's support, let's see how she handles it.' Yesenia looked delighted, and her mood rubbed off on Victoria, making her relax a little. 'Hello, everyone. Today is our team's first meeting. I am Liu Yanming, the new manager of the company. I hope that with everyone's hard work, Qingyu's future will be better.' Liu Yanming spoke from the back and looked up. 'Which one is Victoria?' Victoria stood up when she was called out. 'President Jenkins, I am Victoria.' He looked her up and down and said, 'You will be in charge of the Huan Yu project this time. Remember to do a good job.' 'Yes, I will work hard.' Victoria nodded quickly. After everyone dispersed, someone looked over at Victoria and snorted."
"Just a newcomer, even if Ms. Fang left, the opportunity should be given to everyone. Why was it given directly to her?"
They had thought that after Holly left, everyone would have a chance, but President Jenkins came and gave the project directly to Victoria, which naturally made many people unhappy.
"Yesenia raised her head in disagreement. "What do you mean? This was not President Jenkins' decision. The people from Huan Yu said they liked Victoria's design. President Jenkins gave it to her for the sake of the company. Isn't that right?"
Someone stood up and said sarcastically, "Yes, Victoria must be really talented. Who else could have made connections with Huan Yu?"
"It's because she's pretty. Yesenia, you should learn from her. She's a university graduate and can already handle projects on her own. You're still clinging to others."
"What do you mean by that?" Yesenia was furious.
Victoria pulled her aside. "Forget it. The company just changed its president, and everyone is a bit agitated."
Victoria told Heidi that she had already started working.
Heidi asked, "What about the child?"
"Her grandmother is taking care of her. I just need to be careful of Brandon's tricks. He won't dare to blatantly take me to get an abortion again."
Heidi was still worried, but Victoria said, "Let's put that aside for now. Grayson bought the company this time, and it allowed me to come back to work. I should thank him by treating him to a meal."
When Heidi heard this, she quickly asked, "Are you going to invite Grayson to dinner? Can I come too?"
Although Victoria knew that she wanted to come along because of her boyfriend Felix, she still agreed.
After sitting down, Heidi messaged Grayson and invited him to dinner. Grayson agreed and they decided to go to a Japanese restaurant that Heidi and Victoria already liked. When they met up, Heidi cautiously asked Victoria if she could eat certain things since she was pregnant. Victoria laughed and assured her that she had already checked and it was fine. Heidi then joked about Victoria becoming a part of the Duncan Family if her child became the heir. However, Victoria was just happy to have a healthy pregnancy. As they were talking, Grayson walked in with Brandon , which surprised everyone. Brandon glared at victoria when she tried to hide behind Heidi. Grayson tried to diffuse the tension by inviting Brandon to join them for dinner, but Heidi was not happy about it.
Brandon's face tightened. Victoria was worried that Heidi's mouth would offend someone, so she quickly lowered her head and pulled her inside. "Let's go in first and talk about it."
After they were seated, Heidi still wanted to speak, and Victoria quickly said, "You finally made an appointment with Grayson. If you have anything to say, say it now."
Only then did Heidi remember her purpose for coming. She took a sip of water and quickly said, "Teacher Larson, you met my boyfriend last time. He has written a paper recently and is preparing to apply for your graduate program. So, he wanted Teacher Larson to take a look at his paper."
Grayson looked over and said, "What paper? Let me see it."
"Okay, I'll send it to you."
After Heidi sent it to him, he immediately opened and scanned it. Heidi looked at him expectantly, her eyes shining as she waited for his response.
Grayson frowned and looked up, awkwardly but politely smiling. "I think it's just average. Forgive me for being blunt, but he might as well apply to the neighboring school, Xiaomei. Their requirements are lower than those of the Central Academy of Fine Arts."
There are two art schools here. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is one of the top art schools in the country, while the neighboring Beilin Academy of Fine Arts, commonly known as Xiaomei, is not even ranked.
Heidi looked at his overly frank face, her face turning black as she slapped the table directly. "You must not have read it properly. How could it be just average? I think it's written very well. I have polished it, and the research topic and narrative direction are unique in the country!"
Grayson leisurely took a sip of the barley tea on the table. "Well, since he's your boyfriend, it's natural that you like it. However, I also met him last time, and I think he has a bit of brainwashing skills. Miss Miller, is this your first time dating? I advise you not to listen to him too much."
Heidi was completely furious now. Her face was red with anger.
"What's wrong with me having my first love? It's you who have had too many and have impure thoughts. Your heart is black and you see everyone as black!"
