Chapter 55


    “All right, you‘ve passed the first challenge,” Jenny concluded.


    Lily had more or less expected this, but she asked, “The first challenge?”


    Jennyughed, “You didn‘t expect this to be the only challenge, did you? If you want the right to join my


    team, you y by my rules. Joining ourpany is no simple task.” Jenny then questioned Lily


    crudely, “Those who sessfully entered thepany had to undergo a series of challenging written


    tests and interviews. What makes you think you‘re special?”


    That was what ticked Jenny off. When she was a recruit, Jenny had to study hard and undergo many


    interviews before being epted into thepany. Eventually, she became one of the senior


    managers at Rebirth. Jenny was confident in her abilities and thepany‘s culture of doing things.


    In her years with thepany, she had witnessed no unjust treatment or nepotism, so when she found


    out about Lily, she was shocked. Jenny could not figure out the deal with Lily. In any case, she was not


    interested.


    It did not matter who Lily was or the rtionship Lily had with the director. It had nothing to do with


    Jenny. Instead, she did not want someone with questionable abilities to join her team and work with


    her.


    “I have never considered myself an exception, nor am I one. After all, you‘re here testing my abilities,


    aren‘t you?” Lily refuted calmly, with a polite smile on her face.


    She was sincere with her reply, not an ounce of anger or embarrassment detected. Lily‘s poise and


    demeanor made her stand out and put the people around her at ease.


    “Yes, you‘re right. I was testing you, but this was only the first challenge. It doesn‘t mean you‘ve earned


    my approval.” Jenny was determined not to let her off the hook that easily.


    Besides, the first test was just a random one. It was not easy, but it was not too difficult.


    Initially, Jenny thought Lily was merely an opportunist and a thief without actual capabilities. After


    witnessing Lily breeze through the first challenge in front of everyone, Jenny knew it was time to get


    serious and think of something more challenging.


    “Ms. Gray, feel free toe up with something more difficult. If I‘m intimidated, count it as I‘ve lost.” Lily


    was fearless. Then she paused, took a step toward Jenny, and smiled.


    Looking at her smiling face, Jenny flinched nervously. It was strange. Though Lily‘s smile did not


    contain an ounce of malice, she could not help but feel uneasy. “What do you want?” “Nothing. I just


    wanted to ask you, how many challenges have you prepared for me?” Lily responded.


    Jenny took a deep breath and sat straight in her chair. “Why? Are you afraid now? Weren‘t you the one


    promising that you‘ll take on any challenge a moment ago?” “It‘s not that I‘m afraid, but since it‘s a


    wager between us, don‘t you think it‘s best if we both agreed on the terms beforehand? Honestly, I

    don‘t mind the type of challenges you decide to throw at me as long as they‘re fair and sensible, Still,


    I’d be annoyed if countless challenges awaited me after I‘vepleted a few.”


    “What kind of person do you think I am? What do you mean by countless challenges?” Jenny stared


    wide–eyed at Lily, her anger almost uncontainable, “Lily Christian! Indeed, I don‘t like you, but I‘ve


    always been a just person. Are you implying that I‘m intentionally making things difficult for you?”


    Lily smiled contentedly, “No, I don‘t think so. I believe that you‘re a fair and sensible manager. Then,


    how many challenges before epting me into your team?” Jenny‘s hands were balled up into fists on


    her sides. She tried her best not tosh out at Lily and to maintain aposed demeanor on the


    outside. Jenny was furious.
