Chapter 930: Chapter 930 That Man

The next morning, when Naomi arrived at the company, Clint was already waiting for her at the door.

“Miss Naomi, you’re here!”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Uncle Clint, just call me casually! Didn’t I tell my father not to trouble you?”

“It’s fine. I’ll take you to your department.”

They walked together and noticed the staff in the project department had already started working already.

Clint introduced Naomi to the manager of the department, “Madam Leon, this is Naomi George. She will be an intern reporting to you from today onwards. Please guide her well!”

The manager of the department, Cynthia Leon, was dressed in a black suit. Her hair was tied up meticulously in a ponytail, while a large pair of dull, black-framed glasses rested on her nose.

Upon hearing that, Cynthia glanced at Naomi seriously before shooting a look at Clint.

“Assistant Zuckerberg, I’m afraid I can’t guide her!”

The rejection was sudden and unexpected. Naomi was at a loss all of a sudden, so she asked, “Why?”

Cynthia pursed her lips and commented, “I just can’t!”

However, Naomi was also a stubborn person. She had always felt that no matter what happened, everything needed to be said clearly. If everyone was holding back, how would they be able to solve a problem together?

This was how she dealt with problems!

“There must be a reason! Although I am a new employee, I will not accept being excused for no reason at all. Please tell me!”

Upon hearing Naomi’s straightforward comments, Cynthia frowned, “Since you’d like to know, I don’t mind explaining it to you. My department operates on profit, not on charity! Everyone here is aware that you’re the boss’s daughter, and there’s even a possibility that you will be my superior in the future. Now, if I accept you into my department, it’ll be difficult for everyone. I’ll feel displeased if you perform poorly, and if I reprimand you too harshly, you’ll feel displeased too. Why should I risk putting everyone in an awkward position by accepting you?”

After she finished ranting, Cynthia took a deep breath.

“That’s all.”

Clint was caught in the middle of this. He had no idea how to calm the situation down.

Whilst he was in a bind, Naomi quickly replied.

“If that’s the case, I would like to prove you wrong, Madam Leon. Since I’m here for an internship, I’ll accept the normal treatment like other interns. Madam Leon, I’m aware that you dislike spoiled and arrogant brats. What a coincidence, I dislike those people as well!”

“Hence, please treat me as though I were a normal employee. I promise to not involve my personal affairs with professional and work-related issues. Similarly, I won’t be planning any revenge against anyone here due to my personal grudges!” ”

“If you don’t believe me, you can just talk to the chairman.. He has always been fair and will not allow such things to happen!”

It was only then that Cynthia took a good, hard look at Naomi.

She had never seen Naomi before. Based on what she heard, she assumed that most rich ladies from large households would be spoiled and annoying. However, she never expected Naomi to be an exception.

Since Naomi was so straightforward, Cynthia would not beat around the bush either.

She immediately made her decision, “Very well! I’ll be glad to treat you like any normal employee under my jurisdiction. Since you’re a new intern, you’ll be required to submit an order to us within 10 days. Within a month, you’ll be required to submit to us an order that amounts to more than 10 million dollars. If not, you’ll be asked to leave as per my orders!”

Meanwhile, Clint wanted to ask if there was any room for negotiation.

The very next second, Naomi had already reached out to shake Cynthia’s hand and agreed coolly, “It’s a deal!”

Clint was speechless.

“Naomi, won’t this…”

“Assistant Zuckerberg, thank you for bringing me here. You can leave now, I know you still have your own affairs to attend to. I’ll be fine here.”

Naomi insisted on not accepting his help, so he could only leave.

…

After Naomi found her work desk, she began to look through some documents she had. So far, she did not have any resources at all. Thus, she could only look for clients by herself!

With that, she left in the afternoon in search for potential clients.

A few days soon passed with no potential clients, though her skin had turned a few shades darker.

That evening, when Naomi arrived home, she was stopped by Eudora.

“You seem pretty busy lately, don’t you? You leave home early in the morning and come home late at night!”

Naomi froze for a moment before replying, “Yeah, I’ve been slightly busy. Sorry for making you worry, mom!”

Eudora shook her head and said, “Come over and take a seat. I’m not bothering you, right?”

Naomi nodded. She walked over and plopped herself beside Eudora.

Eudora reached out and touched Naomi’s face lovingly before saying, “Your skin is darker, and you’ve lost weight. Clint told me that you’re looking for clients yourself, aren’t you? Why didn’t you tell me? There’s a project from Master Chilton recently…”

“There’s no need to!” Naomi did not wait for Eudora to finish and interrupted her.

“When I entered the company, you two promised not to intervene. Therefore, please let me handle things by myself!”

Eudora knew that things would end up like this. She was both gratified and helpless.

“Alright, you can handle it yourself, we won’t intervene. However, even when you’re busy, you should not forget to eat! Try to come home and have a good meal daily in the future! Auntie Cindy’s cooking skills have improved a lot since she married Uncle Charlie, so she’ll be able to make whatever you like!”

“Okay!” Naomi nodded and laughed, “If that’s the case, I’ll go upstairs first. I still have some unfinished documents to handle!”

After Naomi left, Eudora sighed.

“Now I’m a little skeptical about our decision to bring her into the company. I feel that Naomi is not as happy as she was before!”

Amos frowned, “Don’t spoil her. If you don’t allow her to work in the company, will you let her work at the chamber of commerce? It’s not necessarily easier to work there! This is just the beginning for her, she’ll need to work harder now, but everything will turn out fine. Trust me!”

Eudora was surprised to hear Amos’ words. She gawked, “I didn’t expect you to be so open about this, Mr. Granger. Didn’t you use to spoil her badly?”

Amos looked pleased about himself as he boasted, “When did I ever spoil her? I’ve always emphasized on quality education for children. Parents shouldn’t intervene so much!”

Before he could continue saying anything else, the phone rang.

Amos picked it up casually, only to hear Harley’s voice from the other end of the phone.

“Amos, I’ve helped you keep an eye out for the bid you mentioned. You can ask Naomi to come over, I personally think that our chances are pretty high!”

Eudora immediately came to a realization and smirked, “Oh, so I guess this is what our dear Mr. Granger means by not intervening and spoiling the children too much, hmm?”

Amos fell silent. Some time later, he finally muttered.

“I was just asking.”

…

Upstairs, Naomi entered her room. When she was about to close the door, Eddison suddenly pushed open the door from the outside.

“Naomi, are you free tomorrow afternoon? I want to watch a match with you!”

Naomi shook her head and refused him, “I’m not free!”

“But this is your favorite tournament to watch! Didn’t you always enjoy shooting? I’m leaving soon, so can’t you come with me?”

After hearing Eddison’s incessant nagging, Naomi finally gave in, “Fine, give me the tickets first then. If I’m able to finish my affairs by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll come with you!”

“You have to!” Eddison shouted as he left.

Naomi had her head buried in one of the available projects when Eddison was speaking. Hence, she grunted and continued thinking about it.

It was a sleepless night for her.

The next day, Naomi got up early in the morning and went to the company. After she clocked in, she went out to meet some more clients.

At noon, she arrived at a hotel as per agreed.

When she was about to enter, she saw the figure by the window again. The man sitting there was quiet, but inexplicably familiar.

It was as though he was the teenager who had smiled at her that year.

With that, she pushed the door open and walked towards the man.
