Chapter 1042
After a pause, he continued, "Fredericks Corporations intend to get this business deal."
| looked up at him. "You can just tellwhat | have to do."

needed anything and did not have to beat about the bush. | was not going to refuse anyway.
Jordan smiled. His smile seemed a little casual."
You'll handle this matter."
| 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

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.”
| frowned, thinking that he was just confusing different concepts and brainwashing me.
Seeing that | 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 wantedto do this was that my
relationship with Theo could helpgain an upper hand among the many bidders.
| did not like the feeling of being used as a pawn and felt very reluctant to go, but | was not in a hurry to say no
either.
Jordan looked atwith 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."
| froze. Looking at him, | 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 | 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.
Seeingin 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 | need

| felt a little speechless. "I can only tell you that even though Theo and | 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?"
| 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, | asked him with a somewhat uneasy expression, "Don’t you think you're puttingin 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 | had fallen silent, Jordan smiled slightly." You'll get a lot of benefits if the bidding is successful, n 0?"
