Ma Wenliang felt as if he were dreaming at this moment.

The words Bao Hong had just said kept echoing in his ears.

This was the first time in his three years at the company that a leader had assigned him such an important task.

As an ordinary programmer at the lowest level of the company, Ma Wenliang's usual work was simple and tedious.

From the moment he clocked in and sat at his workstation in the morning, he just faced his computer writing code and fixing bugs.

Things like coordinating with channel distributors and publishers, requiring frequent communication and control over overall project progress, were presumably the work of project manager Wang Zhiqiang.

But now, Client Daddy actually designated him to be responsible.

Wasn't that asking him to replace Wang Zhiqiang as the person in charge of this project?

While joy surged in his heart, Ma Wenliang's mind remained rational, and he couldn't help but glance toward Wang Zhiqiang.

From the project's initial establishment to its final completion, Manager Wang had controlled the whole process all along.

Although they programmers had worked overtime until very late every day these past few months before going home.

But Manager Wang wasn't any easier than them programmers; the time he left the company every day was even later than theirs.

It was said that because he often came home too late, Manager Wang had quarreled quite a bit with his wife at home.

The boss surely knew clearly about Manager Wang's contribution to this project.

He definitely wouldn't erase Manager Wang's effort on this project just because of one word from Client Daddy.

If that were the case, it would be too unfair to Manager Wang, and Ma Wenliang couldn't accept it in his heart either.

Therefore, the project commission would most likely still be distributed according to the original ratio.

The bulk of the bonus would still go to Manager Wang; that was what he deserved.

But even so, Ma Wenliang felt very pleased in his heart.

Although the project commission wouldn't change from before, he had facilitated this cooperation with the publisher.

The boss would definitely have an extra bonus on his end; that was definitely unavoidable.

Being able to get an extra portion of bonus was already enough to make Ma Wenliang very satisfied in his heart.

The key was he hadn't done anything special.

He had only bought Manager Wang a portion of xiaolongbao, and coincidentally Bao Hong had eaten it.

"You kid, your luck is really not bad."

Wang Zhiqiang walked behind Ma Wenliang, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Manager Wang, I..."

Ma Wenliang hurriedly stood up, his eyes full of gratitude.

Wang Zhiqiang waved his hand, not letting him continue.

Although he felt a bit surprised in his heart, he didn't feel uncomfortable either.

Originally he had planned to, after this project's cooperation was signed, apply to Zhang Haitao later to bring Ma Wenliang along to follow up on subsequent business.

After all, he had previously promised Ma Wenliang that after the project went online, he would promote him to project supervisor.

It was also time to let him take on some more important work to temper his abilities.

But now it just happened that General Manager Bao directly designated Ma Wenliang to be responsible for the project's coordination.

That also saved him from having to go apply to Zhang Haitao again.

Now the project's basic functions were basically completed; the remaining coordination was nothing more than confirming details and going through procedures.

Handing it to Ma Wenliang, with him watching from the side, this cooperation project wouldn't have any problems.

From this angle, Wang Zhiqiang felt that whoever was the person in charge of this project actually didn't make much difference.

At the same time, he also felt happy in his heart for this subordinate who had always been loyal to him, being able to get an opportunity to temper his own abilities.

Zhang Haitao's gaze swept over Wang Zhiqiang; seeing that there was no displeased expression on his face, he laughed heartily.

"Then since General Manager Bao has said so..."

Zhang Haitao walked behind Ma Wenliang, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said earnestly: "Xiao Ma, then the subsequent coordination work of this project is handed over to you; you must do it well, and if you have any questions you don't understand, communicate more with your Eldest Brother!"

"Okay Boss! I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Ma Wenliang's voice rose several degrees, and he agreed very excitedly.

Even now his head was still dizzy, feeling that the development of things was a bit unreal.

Good fellow.

He didn't expect that because of a portion of xiaolongbao made by Lu Boss, he would actually settle this cooperation with the publisher.

Ma Wenliang couldn't help but secretly scan the colleagues around him.

Many people were now staring at him with their mouths wide open, and the envy in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

Ma Wenliang couldn't help but feel smug in his heart, and his back straightened even more.

Because he had always been valued by Manager Wang Zhiqiang and was usually very close with him.

This also aroused the jealousy of several old employees in the company who only knew how to bury their heads in writing code.

He also knew that those few people had badmouthed him quite a bit behind his back.

Saying he circled around Manager Wang every day and was the manager's lackey.

Ma Wenliang looked at the envious expressions on those people's faces and felt very refreshed in his heart.

Heh, so what if he's a lackey?

Now he's the project lead; from now on, those few people's work will all have to follow his arrangements.

Not only that, before long Manager Wang will promote him to project supervisor.

You bunch who say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them, just slowly be envious!

Afterwards, Zhang Haitao led Bao Hong and his party back to the office once again.

Before long, the door opened again, and Zhang Haitao, holding the contract signed by both sides, shook hands with Bao Hong very enthusiastically: "General Manager Bao, pleasant cooperation! This time I also couldn't properly entertain you; next time you come to Jiangcheng, I'll arrange for you to go to that restaurant and have a good meal!"

"Pleasant cooperation, General Manager Zhang, then it's settled like this; next time I come I'll notify you in advance."

Bao Hong said with a smile.

"Certainly, certainly, General Manager Bao, I'll see you off."

Zhang Haitao smiled until his eyes narrowed into a slit, turned his head and said to Wang Zhiqiang: "You go call Xiao Ma too, let's all see General Manager Bao off together."

The group arrived downstairs at the company, watching as Bao Hong and his party took a taxi and left.

Returning upstairs, Ma Wenliang had just sat down at his workstation, about to drink a mouthful of water, when the surrounding colleagues suddenly swarmed over like a nest of bees.

The scene instantly became somewhat chaotic, with everyone talking at once all around, full of congratulations for Ma Wenliang.

"Brother Liang, you're something! The client daddy personally named you to handle coordination, awesome!"

"Brother Liang, after you get promoted and a raise you've got to treat us to a meal!"

The two interns who hadn't gone down to eat at noon were the most enthusiastic, standing one on the left and one on the right behind Ma Wenliang, giving massages to both his shoulders respectively.

Among them, that intern with a very plump build, comparable to Zhu Chang, had a fawning smile on his face: "Brother Liang, from now on I'll follow you! Next time you go out to eat, bring me along too? I want to buy xiaolongbao!"

"Bring me along too! I'm going too!"

The other intern also unwilling to be outdone, raised his hand and said loudly.
