Sun Xue agreed very readily, "I understand, godfather."

Lu Huohua couldn't help but worry about whether Wang Ke and Sun Xue could get along harmoniously.

Right after participating in the project bidding, Lu Howard knew that he would definitely win the stadium construction project.

After returning to the company, he called Wang Ke to his office, entrusted him with an important task, and prepared to let him be responsible for the project.

Wang Ke was naturally very happy. Being fully responsible for the National Games project is something that every project manager should be proud of.

Lu Huohua didn't expect that Sun Xue would argue to be in charge of this project...

When he told Wang Ke about this decision, he could clearly feel that Wang Ke was unhappy.

For this purpose, he also did some ideological work on Wang Ke.

Besides, Wang Keren has a strong personality, and Sun Xue also has a strong personality.

When two strong people work together, I'm afraid there will be a lot of friction.

Sun Xue was not very worried about this problem. In her opinion, Wang Ke was here to help her complete the project. After all, he was an experienced professional manager and her guest, so of course she had to treat him well.

She thought, as long as she humbled herself, respected the other person, listened to his opinions humbly, and treated him with sincerity, what would be difficult about getting along with him?

Besides, she is a very easy-going person.

However, her idea was a bit hasty.

To welcome the team, she hosted a banquet for the four people at the best hotel in Quancheng City.

Also attending were the core team of her company.

Sun Xue wanted to take this opportunity to allow both parties to get to know each other, after all, they would be working together in the future.

At the dinner, Sun Xue enthusiastically introduced to the company team the small team of four people who came from thousands of miles away to provide assistance.

Sun Xue specially introduced Wang Ke to the company team:

"Manager Wang is the most outstanding senior manager of Lushi Group and a top talent in the construction industry. Many of the projects he has designed and managed have won awards. It is an honor for our company to be able to participate in the preparation and construction of the National Games project this time."

After listening to Sun Xue's introduction, everyone's attention was focused on Wang Ke.

There was surprise and admiration in everyone's eyes.

Wang Ke is less than 40 years old, has an extraordinary temperament, and is so outstanding.

Pei Shaojie sincerely praised, "Manager Wang is an outstanding representative of our industry."

What Pei Shaojie said is true. It is rare in this industry for someone to be so young and win so many awards.

This circle is so small, and everyone has heard of excellent professional managers.

Wang Ke did not show any modesty in response to Sun Xue's high praise. He just nodded and smiled at everyone politely.

Sun Xue stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Manager Wang, and everyone for coming. I hope we can work together happily and complete the task successfully."

Seeing Sun Xue stand up, the other three members of the team hurriedly stood up and clinked glasses with Sun Xue, but Wang Ke did not stand up.

He smiled and raised his glass, gave Sun Xue a symbolic gesture, and said awkwardly:

"Pleasant to work with."

Sun Xue was not unhappy because Wang Ke did not stand up. She naively thought that it was just a formality.

However, she could still vaguely feel that Wang Ke was somewhat arrogant.

She didn't think too much about it. She felt that what Lu Huohua said made sense. It was understandable for people with outstanding abilities to be assertive. They had the capital to be arrogant.

The overall atmosphere of the dinner was pretty good, and after the meal, both sides became basically familiar with each other.

Sun Xue specially arranged Pei Shaojie to sit with Wang Ke, both of whom are excellent managers in this industry.

They will deal with each other most frequently in the future, so they should take this opportunity to get to know each other, enhance their feelings, and facilitate better cooperation in the future.

Sun Xue noticed that the two were chatting quite happily, and most of the time, Pei Shaojie played the role of a listener.

It can be seen from Pei Shaojie's expression that he respects Wang Ke very much and behaves very respectfully.

Seeing this scene, Sun Xue couldn't help but feel less worried.

The next day.

Sun Xue convened a meeting with two main themes.

First, it is to clarify everyone's position, and secondly, it is a mobilization meeting before the project starts.

Pei Shaojie's position as vice president of the company remains unchanged and he is fully responsible for all project management of the company. Liu Bin is responsible for the company's film and television projects. Wang Ke is appointed as vice president of the company and chief engineer of the National Games project.

After the meeting, Pei Shaojie found Sun Xue's office.

"Boss Pei, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Boss Sun, didn't you feel that Manager Wang was not very happy in the meeting?"

Sun Xue was stunned. "Unhappy? Why?"

"I guess he might be dissatisfied with his position?"

Sun Xue asked back, "What's there to be dissatisfied about? He was a manager in his previous company and a vice president here. Can I make him the president?"

Pei Shaojie expressed his doubts, "I feel... he is hostile to you. When we were chatting, he asked me, how did you get to know Mr. Lu? And how did you become Mr. Lu's goddaughter? There was a kind of disdain in his eyes..."

"He knows your resume very well. He said that you graduated from a technical secondary school and are a layman in the construction industry. I heard that he was full of doubts about you."

Sun Xue comforted Pei Shaojie instead, "Boss Pei, you can see that Manager Wang has a bit of a strong personality. Don't worry too much about it. We have to focus on the overall situation. Whether this project can be completed on schedule depends entirely on the two of you. You two should communicate and cooperate more at work. As for his belief that I am incompetent, let him think so."

Pei Shaojie nodded, "I understand, Mr. Sun."

Pei Shaojie's worries are not groundless.

At the dinner, everyone else stood up to clink glasses with Sun Xue, but Wang Ke was the only one who didn't stand up. He could feel that Wang Ke was deliberately making things difficult for Sun Xue.

This is clearly a lack of respect for Sun Xue in public.

He was afraid that Wang Ke would not cooperate well in the next work.

The National Games project has officially entered the intensive preliminary preparations, and the company's other projects are also progressing in parallel.

Sun Xue became busy in an instant.

Surprises continued to come, and the second loan of 50 million yuan was finally approved. What made Sun Xue even more excited was that she unexpectedly received 5 million yuan in government subsidies for the city's key projects.

This really solved the problem of Sun Xue's company's shortage of funds.

Before Sun Xue had time to be excited for too long, she faced a new challenge.

The global financial crisis has broken out in full swing and has spread from abroad to the country.

It seemed like everything changed overnight, and negative news came one after another.

Bank credit has tightened, companies have difficulty in obtaining financing, various industries are facing operational difficulties, and the consumer market has experienced a cliff-like decline.

In just one week, Sun Xue learned from the news that many large foreign banks had gone bankrupt, the global consumer market was sluggish, and it had become extremely difficult for companies to survive.
