CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: WITH THIS KIND OF INTELLIGENCE?

"Yasmin Zane, I’ve noticed you’ve been targeting me since yesterday. Can you tell me why? After all, we’ll be working together for some time."

It was the first time July Quinn directly faced Yasmin Zane.

Yasmin Zane looked good, about twenty-eight or nine, perfectly showcasing the mature beauty of a woman.

Plus, with a high level of education, she exuded an intellectual charm that was uncommon.

So, July Quinn’s first impression of her was pretty good.

But really, they had only worked together for less than half a day yesterday before Yasmin Zane started stirring things up.

Her words were sharp, and July Quinn couldn’t be bothered to argue.

But Yasmin Zane even went as far as to wet the documents that July Quinn had a hard time printing before leaving work yesterday, causing her to reprint them, wasting time.

July Quinn had once thought this was just an accident and hadn’t planned to argue with Yasmin Zane, but now it seems that won’t work.

Look, the way Yasmin Zane spoke just now made it seem like she was about to tear her apart.

But Yasmin Zane didn’t answer but asked back, "Don’t you have any idea what you’ve done yourself?"

"I really have no idea. How about you just say it directly?"

Although July Quinn didn’t plan to work at The Jacobs Group for long, she still took every task from her supervisor seriously.

So she really didn’t understand what she had done to make Yasmin Zane so hostile towards her.

"You think by saying this, others don’t know you spent almost an hour in Assistant Keaton’s office yesterday, and even changed your clothes when you came out."

This office area, most of the staff were present.

So when Yasmin Zane said this, others perked up their ears, listening to the gossip.

"Yes, I did go in and even changed my clothes."

July Quinn wasn’t afraid to acknowledge what she did herself.

But after saying this, she asked Yasmin Zane in return, "But, what does this have to do with you?"

"It obviously has something to do with me. We’re currently both probationary employees, and whether we can stay on the Caelan Sea project depends on our assessment over the next half month."

"And now that you’re cozying up to Assistant Keaton, who is a key figure in the Caelan Sea project, it wouldn’t be hard for him to keep you on the project. It’s completely unfair to me."

Yasmin Zane was furious, as if July Quinn had committed some heinous crime.

But Yasmin Zane probably didn’t expect her well-founded accusation to be met with July Quinn’s scorn.

"Is that all the intelligence you have? How did you even get dual master’s degrees?"

"What?"

Yasmin Zane had obtained higher education and her academic qualifications were higher than anyone else in this office area.

Additionally, her uncle was a senior executive at The Jacobs Group, giving her a certain unexplainable superiority there, something she didn’t expect to be mocked by someone like July Quinn.

"No matter how key a figure Assistant Keaton is in the Caelan Sea project, he’s still just an employee of the company. How could he possibly influence the company’s decisions?"

"But..."

Yasmin Zane recalled her executive uncle mentioning that in front of Mr. Jacobs, Assistant Keaton is above all else.

To retain Assistant Keaton, Mr. Jacobs even fired his own nephew.

Just as she was about to counter-argue, Yasmin Zane stopped mid-sentence.

Because she remembered her uncle advising her not to mention their relationship to others in the company, so he could discreetly give her opportunities to perform, vastly increasing her chances of staying on the Caelan Sea project.

Unable to articulate her point, July Quinn simply continued.

"You also stayed in the company all day yesterday, so I’m sure you heard from other employees that Mr. Jacobs fired his own nephew to keep Assistant Keaton. This shows that Mr. Jacobs values capable talent, not those who bring personal grievances to the workplace, treating it as a battleground for their vendettas."
