Chapter 1042

After a pause, he continued, "Fredericks Corporations intend to get this business deal."

I looked up at him. "You can just tell me what I have to do."

I was his secretary now and worked for Fredericks Corporations. He could be straightforward with

me if h e needed anything and did not have to beat about the bush. I was not going to refuse

anyway.

Jordan smiled. His smile seemed a little casual."

You'll handle this matter."

I frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. "I just joined the company and am only your secretary. My job

mainly consists of organizing files and handling daily chores. That's it. Besides, a project director

should be the one handling project cooperation. If you pass this task to m e, do you really think I’m

capable enough to handle it?"

Jordan put down the cutleries in his hand and looked slightly more stern now. "You previously

worked in Grant Corporation for many years and saved a business that was on the verge of

collapse. Is that not enough to show how capable you are? I think a person's position doesn't

represent a person's ability, and there isn’t a rule that says a secretary can't do the work of a project

director. You can ask Cally if she has

ever followed up on a project.”

I frowned, thinking that he was just confusing different concepts and brainwashing me.

Seeing that I did not say anything, Jordan sighed. " Sending you to do the bidding also means that

we'll stand a high chance of succeeding. At this point, it is just my selfishness, really.” u n

That meant what he said earlier was just bullshit. The main reason he wanted me to do this was

that my relationship with Theo could help me gain an upper hand among the many bidders.

I did not like the feeling of being used as a pawn and felt very reluctant to go, but I was not in a

hurry to say no either.

Jordan looked at me with a deep and profound gaze." It's fine if you refuse. I'll just give the 20

percent commission to someone else. That’s all."

I froze. Looking at him, I asked, ”20 percent commission?"

Jordan raised his eyebrows. "In all of Fredericks Corporations' projects, the final person in charge

will always get a 20 percent commission in the end. It has always been like that."

Back when I was working in Grant Corporation and Zimmer Corporations, the project director would

only get a ten percent commission. It was already

considered the most percentage one could be given. A s both Zimmer Corporations and Grant

Corporation were large enterprises, they were able to give that much; smaller enterprises would

generally give five percent only.

A 20 percent commission was simply too tempting.

Grant Corporation's projects were never small projects and could amount to tens or hundreds of

millions. If the person in charge drew 20 percent from it, it would surely not be a small amount.

Seeing me in a daze, Jordan picked up his cutleries and took a few bites. He then got up and

walked to his desk.

He picked up a document from his desk, walked back, and handed it to me. "Here are the details of

Grant Corporation’s project. It can be said to be the best project in the city in the past year. There

are too many bidders. Plenty of the companies have advantages over Fredericks Corporations.

That’s why I need you to handle this matter."

I felt a little speechless. "I can only tell you that even though Theo and I share a relationship, he

won't choose a partner who doesn’t have any advantages just because of me. He’s an outstanding

businessman i n the business field."

Jordan smiled slightly. "How do you know if you don’t try?"

I helplessly sighed. "Fine."

"The bidding starts this evening, which means you have to get the proposal done this afternoon,"

Jordan said with a smile.

After a long silence, I asked him with a somewhat uneasy expression, "Don’t you think you're

putting me in a tough spot, Mr. Fredericks?"

Jordan raised his eyebrow. "So, you can't do it?"

It was a general consensus that goading someone into action was the worst thing one could ever

do.

However, it was effective enough to make one angry.

Seeing that I had fallen silent, Jordan smiled slightly." You'll get a lot of benefits if the bidding is

successful, n o?"
