Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 13(She's Just Getting Started)

The cold moonlight gleamed through the window; there were few stars in the night sky.

Jisoo was in her pajamas. She sat on the bed with her legs crossed, chin held in one hand, staring blankly ahead of herself.

“I trust you.” Taehyung’s voice, low and clear, was still lingering in her ears and swirling around her head.

There was no denying that Jisoo was starting to feel a little off.

The feeling had actually started when he’d said, “Someone suggested to me that we get the Ming Sheng Group project.”

Her uneasiness had amplified when he’d said, “I made my decision at noon.”

When he had lightly said “I trust you,” the somehow-overwhelming feeling had finally made her realize that the uneasiness and excitement inside her was flattery.

Her entire career she had been valued no matter where she was. Her university professor used to depend heavily upon her, and she had been the backbone of several student organizations. While at SMQ, she had been such an excellent employee for three years in a row that the boss, Oh Sehun, had valued her a little bit too much...

It seemed a completely different story being valued by Taehyung.

Mr Kim didn’t have any experience from the business industry; he was a soldier, a man of action.

Jisoo hadn’t once heard him acknowledge his employees except for this instance of him telling her “I trust you.” It made her feel more valued than hearing it from someone else would have.

Jisoo felt like she had become a crafty, misleading worker. But wasn’t this the truth? The young boss, dazed and confused, relied heavily on her, and had a misleading representation of her in his mind. She had forced her flawed idea onto the company by sweet-talking him, in a way. This was the result of him traveling around the company incognito and knowing her beforehand; the result of him appreciating her character as well as her talent. Another thought popped into her head, ludicrous and ambitious, but she ignored it.

Whatever it was called, all these opportunities had placed her in the perfect position to become important to Layover.

The thought made her pick up her phone and dial her brother’s number.

Hearing her request, Namjoon smiled slightly. “Why? You came across so much trouble during the three years you worked at SMQ and you never once asked me for help. You’ve been the assistant of Layover’s president for just three days and you’re already asking me to help your boss?”

Jisoo laughed, “I’ve got everything under control. Don’t you trust my judgment?”

...

The next morning, Jisoo sat at her desk, holding a working plan for the Ming Sheng Project. It had been finished over a few nights by the marketing department.

Following what Mr Gong Yoo had said the other day, it was mentioned in the working plan that the biggest challenge at the moment was building a relationship with the clients. And the most important part of that relationship was obviously their senior managers.

Ming Sheng played a decisive role in the country, and their senior leaders were important figures in the national business industry. A private enterprise like Layover didn’t even come close to their standard.

Considering they had just started, the best case scenario would be connecting with the same level as the office manager and procurement director. To reach the senior level, it would definitely take some time and a few key opportunities. The worst case scenario was that they wouldn’t be able to contact them and meet with their senior managers before Ming Sheng officially started the bidding. That would be a failure for the project.
