CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 534: THIS MUST BE DONE—NO MATTER WHAT

"That’s right, that’s exactly it, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, very willful. Let’s have a pleasant collaboration from now on."

After she finished speaking, she walked out. The manager turned back and patted Robert Weston’s shoulder: "Do well, don’t let me down, go on."

"Yes," Robert Weston followed Ivy Miller out.

Not knowing exactly what needed to be done, Ivy Miller returned to her own office first.

When Robert Weston passed by his wife, he quietly greeted her, but Ivy Miller ignored him.

After he followed her in, he immediately closed the office door, his face cold: "Ivy Miller, what do you mean by this?

There are so many people in the business department, why choose me, why insist on me following you?"

"You’re mistaken, it’s not like I specifically requested you.

If it were up to me to choose, I would have picked the most capable person in the business department.

But apparently, your manager picked you because of connections and handed you over to me."

Robert Weston lowered his voice: "You don’t need to beat around the bush to mock me, let me tell you, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to."

Ivy Miller laughed: "Me? What could I possibly be up to, go ahead, tell me."

Robert Weston frowned at her: "Ha, you go ahead and take your revenge first."

Ivy Miller gave him a thumbs up: "You’re right."

Robert Weston’s face darkened: "Do you have any shame left, woman?"

"Is face worth anything? Doesn’t seem like it," Ivy Miller crossed her legs: "Take a good look at your situation, you’re my subordinate now, don’t keep calling me ’woman,’ address me as Manager Miller, we’re not that familiar."

Robert Weston clenched his fist: "Ivy Miller, you..."

"It’s office hours now, let’s talk about what exactly this difficulty team is supposed to do."

Robert Weston swallowed his anger and briefly explained what the manager had told him earlier today.

After listening, Ivy Miller was a bit puzzled: "Why did they stop collaborating when everything was going well before?

If they are willing to break the contract instead of continuing to work with us, there must be a reason."

"No idea, we’ve been negotiating with them for a long time, but their attitude is firm, no collaboration, and truthfully, our collaboration term was ten years, which is indeed now expired."

"Do they have intentions to collaborate with other companies now?"

Ivy Miller felt that whether it’s a personal decision or a company policy, there must be a reason behind it.

"I’ve heard they have, but their company is just an obscure little enterprise, incomparable to the Twilight Group."

Ivy Miller nodded: "That’s good."

She stood up and headed out, Robert Weston asked: "Where are you going?"

"I’m the manager, and you’re the subordinate, do I need to report to you?"

With that, she opened the door and left, leaving Robert Weston feeling puzzled, wondering how this woman could be so pretentious.

Didn’t she know they’re on the same team now?

With a frustrated sigh, he followed her out.

In the underground parking lot, Ivy Miller got into her Audi, and Robert Weston also opened the driver’s door to get in.

She turned her head to glance at him: "Did anyone invite you into the car?"

"I feel I need to remind you, we’re on the same team."

"True, but I’m not your driver, if you want to handle business with me, sure, drive your own car.

Being in the same car with someone like you, I’m afraid I’ll dirty the car my husband bought for me."

Robert Weston glared at her but said nothing, though it was obvious he was very angry.

Seeing his expression made Ivy Miller feel a sense of relief.

She pointed back with her finger: "Get your own car and follow, we’re going to Glory Construction."

Robert Weston felt that this woman was not just strong but also arrogant.

But work was important now; he couldn’t lose his job because of this woman.

If it really came to that, he feared his father-in-law’s family wouldn’t tolerate him any longer.

He retreated, got into his own car, and followed her out of the company.

At Glory Construction, Ivy Miller wanted to meet their person in charge.

Initially, she planned to have someone at the first-floor service desk announce her arrival.

But as soon as the other company heard it was someone from Twilight Group, they didn’t even bother with an announcement.

"Sorry, our company has already made it clear from last week.

Anyone from Twilight Group, from the president to the managers, can’t be seen."

Ivy Miller hadn’t realized how serious the problem was when she arrived.

Hearing this, she immediately understood that this was indeed a difficult issue.

No wonder it’s called the difficulty team.

She turned aside, and Robert Weston walked up behind her, mockingly snorting: "Looks like you’re set to make a fool of yourself this time."

Ivy Miller looked at him: "What do you mean, you’re gloating because I couldn’t meet with anyone?

Don’t forget, you’re in the same team with me now, if I fail, I’m still the daughter-in-law of the Twilight Group.

At least my husband won’t be disappointed in me, but you, you’ll probably be ostracized by your department, right?"

"Ostracized? Ha, are you stupid, do you really think this difficulty team can’t do without you?

This task, no matter who takes it on, will face rejection.

But why did Director Rhodes specifically assign you this task? Isn’t it because you made her lose face at the banquet last night, and she deliberately wants to dampen your spirits."

Ivy Miller frowned: "What do you mean, are you saying... it wasn’t your department manager who went to Director Rhodes and said I was the only one who could handle this? It was Director Rhodes who insisted on assigning me to your department?"

"It can’t quite be considered forced. Nobody wanted to take on this hot potato.

Now, Director Rhodes offering to let you find a solution is a great relief for our manager.

You are the daughter-in-law of Twilight Group, if this task fails in your hands, who else can say anything?

You even took the fall for our manager.

Didn’t you see the grateful look in his eyes when he saw you today? Ha, it’s like you’re clueless, I really admire you."

Ivy Miller clenched her fist, so her mother-in-law was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

No wonder Florence Wilder had that weird expression when she talked to her about this thing today.

Truly... what a wretch, it infuriated her.

If she really failed, that Nathan Rhodes would probably make her the laughing stock of the entire company.

If that’s the case, then she just has to pull herself together. Whether it succeeds or not, it must succeed.
