“Moreover, I’m aware of the challenges women face in the workplace.
I guess you could say it’s my own personal desire to see more women in managerial positions, to have someone advocating for female employees,” Manager Thompson said.
Peggy Lewis thought to herself, that makes sense.
After all, their department was always under Manager Thompson’s care.
The assumed gender gap between male and female employees rarely happened in their department.
All thanks to Manager Thompson.
...
Especially when dealing with business matters, sometimes they would come across some unpleasant clients.
For regular clients, Manager Thompson was familiar with.
She knew the kind of people they were.
If they turned out to be perverse, Manager Thompson would assign a male colleague to deal with them.
Under normal circumstances, female colleagues wouldn’t risk being sexually harassed, or worse, for performance reasons.
For this alone, Peggy Lewis was truly grateful to Manager Thompson.
There were also benefits for female employees, for which Manager Thompson aggressively advocated.
“I hope female colleagues can have an increasing voice in the company.
It’s unrealistic to say it’ll be equal with men at the moment, but having more say is a good thing,” Manager Thompson said.
“You’re capable and don’t resort to crooked means.
I firmly believe that if you take over my position, it would be beneficial for the department,” Manager Thompson said.
“However, as you may have heard, Jacob Zahn is currently negotiating a big deal, and there’s a high probability he can close it,” Manager Thompson said.
“Because this deal is very significant, and the other party is a subsidiary of the Pingla Group, directly managed by the Zhekova family,” Manager Thompson said.
“It’s Majestic, you should know.”
Peggy Lewis nodded, surprised in her heart.
It really was a coincidence, it seemed to be Lyke Zhekova’s company.
It’s not like she intentionally enquired about Lyke Zhekova or the Zhekova family’s structure.
Pingla was such a large group and very famous.
Even ordinary internet users were paying attention.
Internet users may not know the composition of the Zhekova family.
But they have an overview of the CEOs of companies under the Flag of Pingla.
They discover not everyone is like Adrian Zhekova acting in a drama, but amongst many people, they found another gem.
Lyke Zhekova!
Although he was a bit older, he was handsome!
And he didn’t look his age at all.
Especially Lyke Zhekova’s abilities were truly exceptional.
Looking at his extensive track record, people would realise just how many familiar things were accomplished by him!
Along with the numerous achievements made by Majestic under Lyke Zhekova’s leadership.
It was often promoted as well.
So, when mentioning Majestic, everyone would immediately think of Lyke Zhekova.
No need for loading time.
Therefore, when Manager Thompson mentioned Majestic, Peggy Lewis thought of Lyke Zhekova right away.
And it’s oddly enough, she had made contact with Lyke Zhekova previously.
Lyke Zhekova was now someone she knew.
And according to Lyke Zhekova, they were friends.
Although Peggy Lewis thought she was punching above her weight, how could she possibly be friends with Lyke Zhekova.
But now, when she heard Manager Thompson mention it, she had an odd feeling.
The company Manager Thompson was mentioning was her friend’s company.
Peggy Lewis couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
She wondered if she asked Lyke Zhekova not to cooperate with Jacob Zahn, he would listen?
Peggy Lewis thought Lyke Zhekova wouldn’t listen.
Even if she and Lyke Zhekova could be considered friends, they were only acquaintances.
Why would Lyke Zhekova listen to her?
Especially since this was a business matter, Lyke Zhekova would be even less likely to listen to her.
Peggy Lewis thought she was overthinking it, and besides, this wasn’t even a good idea.
The fact that she even thought of this made Peggy Lewis feel disdain for herself.
Unknown to Manager Thompson, Peggy Lewis’ inner thoughts, she continued to say: “As you know, Majestic, as a subsidiary of the Flag of Pingla, is responsible for mid to high-end catering brands like Eastco Resto, Fuellero, and their yearly performance is among the best in the entire group.”
“If our company could secure their beverage supply, it would be quite an achievement,” said Manager Thompson.
And there were a series of things related to this.
If they secure Majestic, and the results were good, they could also cooperate with other brands under the Pingla Group.
After working with Pingla, it would be even more advantageous to collaborate with other brands.
This was an ongoing cascading process.
“The company attaches great importance to the collaboration with Majestic, this matter is no longer within my sole authority.
Due to the potential cooperation with Majestic, this matter is now being personally overseen by the General manager along with Jacob Zahn,” Manager Thompson said.
Manager Thompson looked at Peggy Lewis: “Cindy, you could have guessed this outcome, right?”
Cindy’s heart sank a little, she nodded and said, “In this case, Jacob Zahn has become even closer to the General Manager, also he now has more chances to show his abilities to the General Manager.
Compared to someone like me, who probably isn’t even on the General Manager’s radar, it’s clear that he would favor Jacob Zahn for your position.”
“Furthermore, if the collaboration with Majestic is successful, it will be a major victory for Jacob Zahn.
If you don’t recommend him, it would be hard to justify,” said Peggy Lewis.
“Moreover, even if I was recommended, the higher-ups would probably choose Jacob Zahn over me,” said Peggy Lewis.
“This time I was one step behind Jacob Zahn.”
“Don’t say that, these kind of things are reliant on chance,” said Manager Thompson.
“Unfortunately, Jacob Zahn just happened to stumble upon this opportunity.”
“I believe that if this opportunity was given to you, you would have done an exceptional job,” Manager Thompson said.
Peggy Lewis shook her head and said, “The fact that Majestic agreed to work with us is due to Jacob Zahn’s efforts.
As for me, I never thought to cooperate with any company under the Flag of Pingla, never thought about approaching them.”
“In this aspect, I’ve lost.”
Actually, if Peggy Lewis wanted, she could have mentioned it to Cindy Clarke.
A collaboration thrown by Adrian Zhekova would be impressive.
But Peggy Lewis never thought about leveraging Cindy Clarke to cooperate with the Zhekova family.
She knew, if she merely mentioned it, Cindy Clarke would make it happen.
But she didn’t.
It wasn’t because she was high-minded.
She simply felt, her company wasn’t quite at that level yet.
Even cooperating with Pingla, they might not be able to handle such a big project.
Even if it’s a subsidiary of the Flag of Pingla.
If she truly thought it was feasible, she would have negotiated a long time ago.
No need to go to Pingla headquarters.
Just find one of its subsidiary companies would be enough.
And they also didn’t know her relationship with Cindy Clarke.
