Chapter 111: A Big Problem is About to Arise

All the employees in the Marketing Department's large office space looked toward Gu Mianmian, somewhat surprised that besides this Eldest Miss of the Gu Family, the Second Miss of the Gu Family would also appear.

Everyone was actually quite familiar with Gu Mianmian and had seen her long ago.

So seeing Gu Mianmian wasn't too unexpected; if one were to speak of what was truly unexpected...

It might be that Gu Mianmian and Gu Wenyan would appear at the same time.

Employees currently working at the Gu Group often pay attention to the various gossip regarding the upper echelons of the Gu Group.

Therefore, they were also very clear that the relationship between Gu Mianmian and Gu Wenyan could not be considered very good, and could even lead to extreme conflict.

Under these circumstances, the two of them being together surely meant nothing good, and everyone was afraid of being unlucky and becoming the poor soul dragged into it.

So, the first reaction upon seeing Gu Mianmian was to lower their heads and pretend to be busy, as if they hadn't seen Gu Mianmian at all.

This reaction immediately annoyed Gu Mianmian, but at the critical moment, Gu Mianmian swallowed all her temper back and smiled lightly at everyone: "Hello everyone, are you all busy with work today?"

For a moment, the entire Marketing Department was deathly silent, but because it was too obvious, a department head quickly reacted: "Second Miss, everyone has been busy with the new planning proposal for the Marketing Department these past two days, so there is quite a lot of work on hand..."

"Second Miss, if you have any business, why not just tell me directly?"

Gu Mianmian shook her head: "It's nothing, I just saw that my sister is also working in the Marketing Department and wanted to come over to see everyone... is everything alright?"

Everyone nodded.

"That's good. In a while, I'll order some coffee, milk tea, or other food... drinks for you all. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

That Gu Mianmian was so generous and lavish the moment she arrived surprised many people.

But naturally, everyone declined first: "No need, Second Miss, you don't have to go to such expense."

"Yes, we've all had breakfast, please don't waste your money..."

Gu Mianmian blinked: "How is it a waste? This is a reward for everyone, or we can have afternoon tea later!"

"Anyway, I should be in the group all day today, and I happen to want to observe everyone's work... and learn a lot from you all!"

Gu Mianmian smiled with extreme innocence, but to others, this version of Gu Mianmian felt very friendly, yet within the Gu Group...

All employees who could reach this position and successfully pass through layers of tests to work at the Gu Group did not have ordinary intelligence or emotional intelligence.

Therefore, they did not wish to be dragged into the conflict and struggle between these two Gu Family misses, Gu Mianmian and Gu Wenyan.

They all played dumb at this moment, doing their best to refuse having too much contact with either of them.

Moreover, if one were to speak carefully, Gu Wenyan was already working in the Marketing Department and had more contact with them, so in their hearts, they would lean toward Gu Wenyan more or less.

But these thoughts only appeared in their hearts and they dared not show them.

"Alright, that's decided, everyone don't stand on ceremony with me! I'll take care of today's lunch!"

After saying this, Gu Mianmian had already called to order the meal, and she ordered from a nearby restaurant that cost two to three hundred per person.

Everyone's lunch at noon was basically kept within fifty yuan; only employees at the middle-management level and above had higher standard expenses for lunch.

Otherwise, an ordinary worker's monthly salary would be entirely spent on lunch.

Now that they heard Gu Mianmian was going to treat them to lunch from that quite expensive restaurant nearby, those who originally wanted to refuse... forced those words back.

Anyway, they didn't have to spend their own money, they could eat a good meal, and save money—why not?

Seeing that her easy move made everyone accept her goodwill, Gu Mianmian felt smug and deliberately walked to Gu Wenyan's desk: "Sister, what are you doing? Are you making a spreadsheet?"

"Mm."

"You seem to be learning from scratch? I was just afraid that since you just came to the company, you wouldn't know how to do these things. If you don't understand how to do it... you must remember to ask other colleagues. Everyone will surely be willing to answer these knowledge points for you!"

"Don't you worry." The smile at the corner of Gu Wenyan's mouth was cold, "Rather than disturbing others' work, I think it's more efficient and time-saving to search for how to do it myself at this time."

Gu Wenyan's thinking ran counter to Gu Mianmian's suggestion, which made Gu Mianmian somewhat unhappy, yet it was hard to refute.

Gu Mianmian could only purse her lips and try to regain her footing: "Searching for this information yourself is also a waste of time. Sister, actually, before coming to the company, you should have learned everything that should be learned for office work... You shouldn't come and then slowly learn it; that delays time."

The smile at the corner of Gu Wenyan's mouth was very faint: "Whether it delays time or not, you don't need to worry. In any case, if you have the mind for this, you might as well think about what you could be busy with if you came to work at the company."

"Perhaps you wouldn't even be as proficient as I am."

Another sentence left Gu Mianmian speechless.

Gu Mianmian had long since discovered that in the last few times she had bickered with Gu Wenyan, she basically hadn't gained any advantage.

In this regard, she was no longer Gu Wenyan's match.

Gu Mianmian felt indignant yet helpless, and could only smile and change the subject: "Actually, our company's work environment is quite good. If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts, you can tell me too. I will tell Brother to try to improve it... and make everyone's daily work more comfortable."

The topic was finally diverted. Looking at Gu Mianmian's appearance, Gu Wenyan wanted to laugh, but she had no interest in accompanying her to play these boring tricks.

Gu Wenyan indeed still had many things to learn, because there were some things she was not skilled at, but even if she wasn't skilled, she could learn from scratch.

There are many regrets in life that are slowly made up for.

Gu Wenyan worked diligently, while Gu Mianmian relied on her talent for socializing to quickly get along with many employees in the Marketing Department.

Including at noon, after the lunch Gu Mianmian ordered arrived, everyone's attitude toward her was completely different from the morning, becoming especially enthusiastic.

Gu Mianmian felt triumphant and wanted to show off in front of Gu Wenyan again.

But before the showing off could be said, an employee suddenly answered a phone call and put down the lunch box in their hand: "Oh no, that proposal we gave has some problems! We need to change a lot of data!"

The person in charge of the entire department also became worried: "What other data needs to be changed? Is it that troublesome?"

"Hurry up, the final plan has to be determined this afternoon. If we can't do it here, there's definitely going to be a big problem!"
