Chapter 824 Charles Showed Preferential Treatment


    Queenie hadn’t expected Whitney to step forward.


    She’s simply making things worse! She’s just an insignificant intern who hasn’t even been made a


    permanent employee and can’t possibly bear the responsibility for this matter!


    She shook her head attter, signaling her to sit down. However, Whitney voluntarily walked out.


    Everyone in the conference room wore an expectant expression, eager to see what her n was.


    Whitney walked over to therge screen, picked up the corresponding remote control, and adjusted it


    to the darkest color. Then, she picked up a marker from the side and began to write swiftly on the


    whiteboard.


    After jotting down a few headings, she cleared her throat and said, “The proposal was fully entrusted to


    me by Ms. Zeller. I’m grateful for the opportunity she gave me toplete the proposal by myself. I


    take full responsibility for the failure to submit it this time. Ms. Zeller shouldn’t have to take the me


    for me. I admit I have broken the trust she ced in me and also affected thepany. I’m sorry.”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    As she spoke, she bowed deeply once again.


    Charles frowned and said nothing.


    Then, Whitney added, “I’m just an inconspicuous intern in thepany. I don’t have an impressive


    educational background or extraordinary abilities, but I believe that as long as I have faith, I can


    achieve a lot. Throughout this period of study, I’ve learned many things I never got to encounter in the


    past. This wouldn’t have been possible without Ms. Zeller’s guidance. I’m very grateful to her. Unlike


    other departments in thepany, the logistics department is responsible for coordinating logistical


    support across all departments. As for the ns concerning the logistics department, these are my


    thoughts.”


    Watching her speak eloquently, Charles drummed his slender fingers on the table lightly in a rhythmic


    yet offbeat pattern.


    It’s only been half a month, but her confidence has grown significantly. Her entire person exudes a


    different allure.


    He propped a hand against his chin, listening to what she had to say next.


    Whitney spoke with enthusiasm, and quite a few people agreed with her ideas.


    “Manypanies still regard the logistics department as a jack-of-all-trades department presently, but


    that is not the case. If the board of directors is thepany’s brain, then the logistics department is


    the- heart. It is responsible for regting the operations of all departments and ensuring that their daily


    needs. are met. I believe thepany should…”


    As she talked incessantly, Lana, who had initially nned to watch her make a fool of herself, clenched


    her teeth in anger.


    Why does this woman always steal the spotlight?


    She was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do about it.


    After finishing her speech, Whitney bowed to everyone and said, “That concludes the entirety of my


    n. Additionally, I am willing to ept any punishment from thepany.”


    After those words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Charles, awaiting his response.


    The conference room that was capable of amodating over a thousand people was eerily silent.


    No one dared to make a sound.


    Whitney hung her head low, not daring to meet Charles’ eyes. Her entire being was consumed by


    nervousness.


    It was only at that moment that she suddenly remembered Charles had never been too fond of her


    ostentatious behavior.


    Would he… be upset that I publicly exined my proposal?


    She clenched her hands tightly as though waiting for her final judgment.


    The conference room fell into a prolonged silence before Charles finally spoke.


    “Although Whitney is just an intern in thepany’s logistics department, she has a thorough


    understanding of some concepts and is indeed a valuable asset. However…”


    At that, he suddenly stopped with his gaze fixed on her


    The word “however” indicated a change of thought and made Whitney feel like she was facing


    formidable enemy, enemy, her palms sweaty with anxiety.


    Yet, she dared not casually specte about his thoughts, much less harbor a shred of wishful thinking.


    “The loss of the proposal was indeed due to your carelessness. If you weren’t in charge of something


    rted to the logistics department today, you would have caused a huge loss to thepany. If you


    want to pass your internship, think about how you can make up for the mistake you made.”


    After saying that, Charles stood up and walked out of the conference room.


    When he had left, those in the conference room finally dared to speak. They started discussing


    everything that had happened that day.


    Naturally, the most talked-about topic was the matter concerning Whitney.


    “From what I gather, it seems that Mr. Newton intends to let her off the hook?”


    “Considering Mr. Newton’s personality, how could he possibly let a mere intern off the hook so easily?


    What is this intern’s background?”


    “Exactly! I’ve been working at thepany for several years now. I remember that a long-time


    employee identally mixed up two sets of documents a couple of years ago, and the one that was


    supposed to be handed to our branch ended up in the hands of our coboration partner. Although it


    didn’t cause any significant financial loss, Mr. Newton was furious. Not only did he fire that employee,


    but he also made it clear that anypany that dared hire him would be going against Newton Group.


    Isn’t that essentially destroying his career?”


    The few people speaking nced at Whitney, who was still rooted to the spot. They couldn’t help but


    sigh. “It looks like beauty is the real asset these days. Capabilities and suche secondary.”


    They further discussed some other matters before finally leaving the conference room.


    Their voices were not soft, and Whitney overheard the entirety of the conversation.


    Did Charles really show me preferential treatment? I thought it was my capabilities that earned his


    approval.


    Feeling a bit disheartened, Whitney lowered her eyes. She erased everything on the whiteboard and


    was nning to leave when Queenie called out to her.


    Corralling her thoughts, she headed toward Queenie.


    “Ms. Zeller.”


    “Can you redo the proposal within the day? I trust you have the capability to do so.”


    Watching her present her proposal just now, Queenie suddenly felt a sense of gratification. It was as


    though her own student had finally aplished something that satisfied everyone.


    Upon hearing that, Whitney immediately answered with a smile, “Please rest assured that I will


    definitely aplish the task given, Ms. Zeller.”


    I’ve initially braced myself for getting fired. But given the current oue, I must work even harder to


    repay Ms. Zeller and… Charles.


    Glimpsing the joy in her eyes, Queenie patted her on the shoulder and urged, “Keep up the good work,


    girl. Only when you’re capable enough can you shut other people up.”


    “Okay. I will not let you down, Ms. Zeller.”


    When Whitney walked past Lana on her way back to her cubicle, she halted and murmured, “Even


    though I have no evidence, feel free to use any tricks you have up your sleeve.”


    Ms. Zeller is right. Only when I’m capable enough can I shut those who look down upon me up. She


    has always boasted about her exceptional capabilities, no? Well, let’s see who the real winner is in the


    end.


    After she had left, Lana remained in a daze for a long time.


    Just now… why did I sense a murderous intent in her eyes? Her gaze was so terrifying that it struck a


    hint of fear inta me for a split second.


    “Lana? What’s wrong?”


    Seeing Lana lost in thought, Sissi couldn’t help but knock on her desk.


    “Ah, it’s nothing. Just go about your work.”


    Throughout the afternoon, Whitney’s fingers flew across the keyboard ceaselessly. She typed and


    drew, thoroughly engrossed in her work.


    With the benefit of her previous experience, she was able toplete the proposal more than twice as


    fast as usual and even incorporated some of her own new ideas.


    After spending the entire afternoon, she finallypleted the new proposal before clocking out. It was


    even moreprehensive and detailed than the previous one.


    To prevent a recurrence of the previous incident, she sent a copy directly to Queenie and Charles after


    she had finished it.


    She had put a lot of effort into the new version of the proposal, and she hoped that he would be


    satisfied with it.
