"Director Mason, you must help us. Those from A Department go too far."
Meredith raised an eyebrow. A Department?
After some investigation, she finally knew what had happened.
There were four departments in Xavier Group's Design Department, which basically cover all the
clothing items of different grades, including supplying to the clothing stores and some star
customization activities that Xavier Group's headquarters organized.
The four departments could also be roughly divided into two categories, high-end and low-end, of
which A Department and B were high-end, so the two directors would deal with the same project for
time to time.
According to the department staff's statement, A Department members had always looked down on the
other three departments, including B Department.
A Department didn't bother to bag the project cases from Department C and D, for they looked down
on them and had never paid attention. Naturally, no grudges happened among them, but it was
different in the case of B Department. The projects in their hand were often snagged by A Department.
The same situation happened this time. One of the clothing projects assigned by the headquarter, a
new fashion show would be held next month. For A Department already had several major projects on
hand, the holding of this fashion show was handed over to B Department.
Unexpectedly, it was robbed by A Department again.
The competition among the various departments in the Xavier Group had always been fierce As long
as it did not affect the final result, the headquarter generally didn't care about that.
"Since it's a project assigned to B Department, how did they grab it from you?" Meredith asked.
As a result, the people of the B Department looked at each other, but none of them could give an
answer.
She frowned. Was this a difficult question to answer?
After careful inquiry, she knew that there was no need for any reason. Among the company's clothing
design departments, the existence of A Department was like a leader in this field, and the other three
departments had to follow its instruction obediently.
It was perfectly natural for the leader to take from them. There was no need for a reason. After a long
time, the other three departments took it for granted, and there was no resistance.
Meredith looked at the group of people in front of her with meaningful eyes. She lowered her eyes
silently and could not help but sigh. She got it.
Since they didn't feel anything wrong about A Department's actions before, the reason why they started
a fight this time was wanting her to stand up for them.
As for why they felt that she could succeed that the previous director couldn't, Meredith knew that it
was probably because they thought Derek was her back.
To be honest, such a scheme made Meredith very disgusting.
However, as the design director of B Department, the mission belonged to her department was robbed,
and if she didn't stand up and do something, it didn't seem reasonable.
While Meredith was hesitating, an uninvited guest came to the B Department.
"Oh, it's quite kicking here. Are you in a meeting?" A clear female voice sounded.
She looked over and saw a pretty and charming woman walking over with her arms folded around her
chest, followed by two designers.
Meredith guessed who she was and stepped forward, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm Arya, the design director of A Department. I went abroad to participate in the design exhibition a
while ago. I just came back and heard that the director of B Department had changed, so I pay a visit
with my designers."
Meredith was silent and smiled, "Hello, Miss Collins. I'm Meredith, the new design director of B
Department."
The situation in A Department was different from the other three departments. The design directors of
the other three departments basically had the final word in any decision, but it was different in A
Department.
Arya was the director, but the A Department designers were full of intelligent talents, and every one of
them was proud.
All the important matters in the department were decided by the discussion and voting of the public. It
was very difficult for her to make any decision on her own.
In face, Arya, the so-called A Department design director remained in name only.
But she still did her best to get the title because, for one thing, the design director of A Department
needed to personally deliver the important documents to the president's office or she would have the
chance to meet the president during some big departmental meetings.
In that case, Arya could have more chances to meet Derek and get closer to him. That was her
purpose.
But now, the moment she came back, a lot of people were whispering in her ears about how pretty the
new design director in B Department was, and most importantly, she was personally appointed by Mr.
Xavier.
She heard about how much Mr. Xavier valued her, and Mr. Xavier had fired a few senior managers a
while ago for her. All of this was like a knife that stabbed into her chest
Arya was excellent enough to be the director of the A Department. Among her peers, she had the
capital to be conceited.
Therefore, she thought that she knew Derek very well, and with her years of observation of him, so
most of these rumors must be exaggerated, but this did not prevent her from seeing Meredith as her
eyesore.
In her opinion, even if most of those rumors were just rumors, Meredith must have something to do with
Derek, which she could not tolerate.
"Director Mason, I heard that you have a school uniform project in your hand. When I was on a
business trip abroad, I happened to go back to my alma mater for a tour. I have some ideas about this
project, so please handle this project to our A Department."
The school uniform project was to design student uniforms for some schools.
Meredith had two school orders on this project, one public and one private.
However, both of them were for kids from rich and powerful families. Besides the basic generosity and
decency, the most important thing was that the design had to be novel and beautiful. It should look
perfect. After all, the school uniform was the face of a school.
Meredith had never tried to design a school uniform before. When she got the project, she was very
interested and had been thinking about it for the past few days.
The rest of B Department members had a subtle expression on their faces. The director of A
Department personally came to ask for the project, and everyone sensed the coming of the war.
Meredith felt it, although she did not know where Arya's inexplicable hostility came from.
She smiled coolly, "What a coincidence. Miss Collins, even if you don't come to see me, in fact, I'm
going to visit you."
"I heard that A Department took the project data from our B Department this morning. I wonder if you
can explain to me why this happened?"
Arya, "..."
She was a little stunned and angry. She did not expect Meredith to ask her for an explanation. In the
eyes of the people in A Department, it was normal for them to take any projects they want freely. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
It was quite new to her to be asked for explanations.
