Chapter 82

Serena went around asking her other colleagues to join, but in the end, only a handful of new recruits, who had no other choice, reluctantly joined her

Erika and Stacey stood together in the pantry, watching Serena and her beam from a distance:

Serena was seen patiently coaching the newcomers, her attention fully immersed in guiding thern.

Erika scoffed disdainfully, “Do these wet behind the ears rookies really think they can complete this project? What a pipe dream”

Stacey crossed her arms, casting a contemptuous glance over Serena’s team

Stacey had orchestrated everything perfectly. Serena was now completely isolated with no support. Talented as she was, Serena could never possibly complete this project alone,

Stacey gloated inwardly, “Let’s see how you get out of this one, Serena.”

Serena led her team to the project site for a field survey.

The early spring wind carried a biting chill, whipping up dust from the ground that stung their eyes and made it hard to see

Sorena pulled her coat tighter against the biting wind and picked up the blueprints. She instructed, “Daisy, take measurements and record the data.

“Got it.” Daisy nodded, grabbed the measuring equipment, and immediately began taking measurements

The rest of the team, following Serena’s instructions, divided up the work and collaborated to conduct the site survey and collect data

Back at the office, Serena organized and analyzed the collected data before beginning construction of the project model

The office buzzed with the rhythmic clatter of keyboards and lively discussions as everyone threw themselves into the work, united by a common goal.

During this period, Serena’s team worked late into the night almost every day.

Serena was always the last to leave, personally overseeing every task to

At long last, the project was complete.

In the conference room, everyone had taken their seats by department. Serena’s team huddled together, their faces etched with exhaustion from countless late nights, yet their eyes gleamed with undisguised anticipation.

Max swung the door open and strode in with a commanding presence, holding a thick stack of documents.

He cast a sweeping gaze around the room and cut straight to the chase. “First off, I’d like to commend a team today.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than everyone in the room perked up, suddenly alert.

Max’s gaze settled on Serena, his smile growing warmer with approval. “Serena’s team, you’ve done an outstanding job on this project.

“The client is not only thoroughly impressed with the results, but is also eager to pursue a long–term partnership with our company. Your hard work has truly paid off”

As soon as he finished speaking thunderous applause erupted through the conference room

Daisy’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he turned to Serena, exclaiming. “Serena, we really did it.”

The other newcomers, jumping with excitement, crowded around Serena, cheering in hushed voices

“Serena, you’re awesome.

“Looks like all those late nights finally paid off.”

Max continued, “Serena, in particular–let her be your role model Thope everyone wi

expertise.”

Across the conference room, Erika and Stacey froze, their faces hardening as they watched Serena being swarmed by congratulating colleagues, the eyes darkening with a mix of envy and frustration.

Around them, coworkers who had bought into the rumors and declined to join Serena’s team were now murmuring among themselves, their faces showing regret

“Looking back, I should’ve accepted Ms. Gray’s invitation. Putting in all those extra hours day and night on the project would’ve definitely been worth it

“Exactly. Looks like their team’s going to land the next big deal again. What should we do now?”

Someone quietly whispered to Enika, “Didn’t you say Serena was bound to fail this time? So, how do y
