Behind the wheel, Kris Cooper lifted his hand to touch his face, only to feel the faint stickiness of grease and a sesame seed.
That cheeky girl! She didn’t even wipe her mouth before kissing me. She must have done it on purpose!
Vera Wave jogged all the way to the Ashton Building.
Towering a dozen stories higher than Glimmer, the silver building stood tall, a landmark of its generation. This was the true commercial empire of the Cooper Family.
It was the start of the workday, and the entrance of the building bustled with people.
Vera slowed her pace and joined the crowd entering the building. After inquiring at the reception, she took the elevator to the Personnel Department on the forty-third floor to complete her onboarding procedures. Then, with the work card provided by the Personnel Department, she headed to the Advertising Department on the forty-fifth floor. Chapters fırst released on novel-fire.net
In room 4501 of the Advertising Department, a group of staff members was tidying up. Seeing her come in, a slightly older staff member immediately came over and extended a courteous hand.
"You must be Miss Vera. I am Sam Davis, the manager of the Advertising Department. Welcome to our team. Let’s all welcome our new colleague!"
The staff in the office immediately stood up and applauded her. Sam Davis then showed her to her desk.
After the brief induction ceremony, Sam Davis took the documents from his assistant.
"Alright, let’s move to the conference room for a meeting."
Vera quickly picked up her notebook and pen and followed everyone into the Conference Room.
Ashton Company, a leader in the construction industry, was already a global enterprise. Witnessing their work style firsthand, she quietly admired it. No wonder they had reached such heights; their work efficiency alone was commendable.
Once everyone was seated, Sam Davis went straight to the point.
"The agenda of today’s meeting is simple. The government has approved the redevelopment plan for the Pingli District, and demolition will begin soon. As you all know, in any battle, logistics comes first. We, the Advertising Department, have always been the pioneers of the company. This time is no exception. So, from now on, I hope everyone can provide me with an advertising concept within three days. Li, you can go ahead and introduce this project."
"Alright!" His female assistant immediately stood up and began explaining the project with a slide show. "Our project this time is an affordable housing program in partnership with the government..."
Hearing these words, Vera’s heart tightened. The demolition of Pingli District meant she would have to find a new place to live again.
Noticing that the female assistant had begun explaining the project, Vera quickly regained her focus and concentrated on the presentation.
This opportunity hadn’t come easily, and she cherished it greatly.
After the meeting, everyone returned to their workspaces. No one lingered to chat; they all immediately immersed themselves in the intensive work.
The office was filled only with the sounds of clicking mice, tapping keyboards, and rustling pages.
Vera was no exception. As an intern and a newcomer, she knew she had to work even harder. Besides, Kris Cooper had given her this chance, and she didn’t want to disappoint him.
Having just joined, she knew little about the project, so she spent the entire morning researching it. After a quick lunch in the cafeteria, she immediately went back upstairs and buried herself in her work.
If her phone hadn’t rung on her desk, Vera would still be immersed in her work.
Jotting down a few keywords in her notebook with a pen, she casually answered the call.
