194: Chapter 194 Guan Juer's Changes

"Say, Xiao Guan, you're looking very fashionable today."

Walking to the elevator lobby to wait for the elevator, Yin Yue finally noticed that Guan Juer's dressing style today was completely different from last week.

She had been too busy looking at the car earlier and hadn't noticed.

Guan Juer was wearing a lemon-yellow sleeveless chiffon blouse, light-washed cropped jeans, a pair of white closed-toe flat mules, and carrying a small black bag on her shoulder.

The girl was naturally tall, and with her glasses removed, she looked fresh and clean.

Especially her two arms hanging naturally by her sides, which were glowing white.

Guan Juer's complexion, which had just recovered a bit, flushed with a hint of red under her scrutiny, and she smiled shyly, "Chen Cheng said I should try changing my dressing style."

Yin Yue smiled, "Handsome Chen certainly has good taste," she nodded approvingly, "This outfit looks great on you."

"When we get back to the office, I bet those stinky men in the office will have their eyes glued to our Xiao Guan today."

"It's not that exaggerated." Guan Juer felt a bit uneasy; this outfit was something Chen Cheng had asked her to try wearing.

She had put it on half-reluctantly.

The two chatted as they went to the first-floor lobby to buy coffee.

Yin Yue even spent a long while admiring the latest YSL Niki bag under Guan Juer's arm.

When the two walked into the office, they saw the project manager reprimanding their colleague, Mi Xueer.

"What's going on? How could such a low-level mistake happen?" Manager Xu questioned Mi Xueer furiously.

Mi Xueer pretended to be innocent, "Manager, I didn't do this. That day..." As she pointed toward Guan Juer's workstation, she happened to see Guan Juer walking into the office.

She took the opportunity to point her finger at Guan Juer, "That day, it was Xiao Guan who did it."

Seeing Mi Xueer pointing at her, Guan Juer immediately had a bad feeling.

Manager Xu took a deep breath, "Call her over here."

She was well aware of Mi Xueer's trick of shirking responsibility, but since the error involved a third party, she couldn't let anyone off the hook.

This was a method of shifting conflict and managing subordinates.

Mi Xueer turned around, took a breath, secretly sighing that she had escaped disaster, and walked up to the still-confused Guan Juer, saying:

"Xiao Guan, the manager wants to see you."

Guan Juer took a breath and walked over slowly.

She smiled at Manager Xu, "Manager, what's wrong?"

Manager Xu was a middle-aged woman with a fiery temper and an efficient work style, whom her subordinates usually feared.

Manager Xu had been furious, but when she looked up at Guan Juer, her eyes lit up.

She thought to herself, why did this girl have such a big transformation today?

She looked much more spirited than her usual dull self.

However, she didn't show anything on her face, keeping a straight face, and tapped on the problematic report on the table.

"Tell me, how did you check this? How did you not discover such a big mistake?"

"The raw data was wrong, so all the subsequent work was done in vain."

"If this proposal is submitted, the company losing money is a small matter, but if clients question our capabilities and we lose them, who will take responsibility?"

"This kind of low-level mistake could even lead to legal risks, do you know that?"

Guan Juer pursed her lips and glanced angrily at Mi Xueer, who was still cautiously peeking over.

But she didn't argue with Manager Xu, immediately admitting her mistake.

"I'm sorry, Manager Xu, I didn't check it carefully."

"I guarantee that this won't happen again."

After speaking, she tentatively asked, "Is there any room to remedy this report?"

Manager Xu looked with surprise at Guan Juer's face, which still wore a smile. This girl actually didn't deflect the blame by saying the report was actually Mi Xueer's.

This was what Chen Cheng had taught her.

When encountering any problem at work, don't be in a rush to shirk responsibility; first, think of ways to solve the problem.

Leaders might not remember who shifts blame, but they will definitely have a deep impression of those who can always solve problems.

That's how it is in the workplace; you only have opportunities if you can be remembered by your leaders.

Don't be afraid of causing trouble; being a nobody in the office is the biggest taboo.

Clearly, having experienced many times of mental and physical tempering, Guan Juer had long taken Chen Cheng's words to heart.

Manager Xu nodded approvingly, "Not bad, you didn't shirk responsibility."

Glancing at Mi Xueer, who was sneakily observing them, Manager Xu snorted softly and turned back to look at Guan Juer.

"Alright then, you will be responsible for following up on this project from now on."

"Take the report, revise it, and then send it to the risk control department."

Guan Juer took the report, "Okay, I'll do it right away..."

Manager Xu waved her hand and instructed, "Xiao Guan, you must remember, a project report doesn't mean everything is fine just because it passed risk control."

"We are the source; if a problem arises, even if it passed risk control, we still have to bear the responsibility."

Guan Juer smiled and nodded, "Okay, I've remembered it, Manager."

Manager Xu waved her hand, signaling her to get to work.

Guan Juer finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to glare at Mi Xueer. Mi Xueer felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

Guan Juer returned to her workstation, and Yin Yue, sitting opposite, leaned over and asked quietly:

"What's wrong, Xiao Guan?"

Guan Juer glanced at Mi Xueer, who was pretending to be calm, and shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, Sister Yue."

She sat down, tidied up a bit, and turned to look at Mi Xueer, "Mi Xueer, the manager wants you to pack up all the materials for this project and send them to me."

"What?" Mi Xueer's eyes widened, "You..."

Guan Juer looked at her with an innocent expression, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Mi Xueer's mouth twitched, feeling a bit guilty, and she shook her head awkwardly, "No, I'll send you the materials right away."

Guan Juer smiled, "Thanks!"

After speaking, she turned around and started reading the report from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Mi Xueer frowned, feeling like something wasn't quite right.

After watching for a while, seeing that Guan Juer was seriously reading the report and had no intention of confronting her, she had no choice but to awkwardly turn back and look for the project materials.

Guan Juer read the report while taking notes, and whenever she encountered something she didn't quite understand, she would send a message to Chen Cheng via green bubble.

It wasn't until noon that Guan Juer finished reading this forty-plus-page report.

"Xiao Guan, time to eat," Yin Yue, sitting opposite, stood up and knocked on the partition between them.

Guan Juer finally looked up from her focused reading and glanced at her watch, "Is it noon already?"

Gu Juan also walked over at this moment, nodding with a smile, "Let's go quickly, the elevator will be full of people in a while."

Guan Juer nodded with a smile, "Okay, coming."

The two of them took Guan Juer's arms, one on each side; it seemed that this little group was now centered around Guan Juer.

"Did Mi Xueer make you take the fall this morning?" Gu Juan asked.

Guan Juer nodded, "She asked me to help her with the report, and her raw data had problems."

"That little bitch," Yin Yue cursed with a frown.

Gu Juan frowned but didn't say anything.

Guan Juer smiled, "Let's not talk about her. Let me treat Sister Yue and Sister Jennie to lunch?"

Gu Juan's eyes lit up, "Did Xiao Guan strike it rich?"

Guan Juer shook her head, "My mom found out I'm dating, so she gave me some money, telling me to pay for things sometimes when I'm on dates with Chen Cheng."

Yin Yue and Gu Juan exchanged a glance; they already knew Guan Juer had a background, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into their company.

This move of giving money for dating wasn't something ordinary parents would think of.

They sighed inwardly; she was certainly not simple.

Yin Yue thought for a moment, "Since Xiao Guan is treating, shall we go to the restaurant where we ran into Handsome Chen last time?"
