Chapter 8
Chapter 8 The Wife of Quinjoy Group’s President
Later, Renee told herself to shake off the thought, because her father was nice to her and she and Timothy looked alike…
Renee blamed her pregnancy for this nonsense.
The next day, Renee went to work on time.
She couldn’t quit until she was cleared to leave. She hadn’t got a new offer yet and needed this month’s pay.
Renee had to be realistic.
In the afternoon, a female colleague came over and said, “Renee, go upstairs for your meeting now.”
“What is it about?”
“Awards for the design contest. Hurry up!”
The colleague pulled her to the meeting. She was more excited than Renee and said, “Renee, I’ve heard that the leaders value your design very much. Maybe you can get first place this time!”
They walked into the conference room, chatting.
Suddenly, they heard someone say with a sneer, “Lisa, you graduated from an elite school abroad. How could an amateur compete with you?”
Renee and her colleague looked over and saw a chubby woman talking to Lisa.
Obviously, the woman was flattering Lisa by belittling Renee.
Lisa pretended to be annoyed by the remarks and said, “Fiona, don’t say that. Renee is gifted. Maybe she gets first prize.”
“Lisa, if she does, I’ll eat shit live,” Fiona Fowler said and laughed.
“Good, we’ll see.” Renee didn’t give a damn about Fiona’s mockery. Renee wouldn’t lose anything even if she didn’t get first prize, but Fiona would have to keep her word if Renee did.
Fiona didn’t expect a response from Renee. She looked at Renee with spite, “What if you fail?”
“Then I quit the job,” Renee said seriously.
Renee had submitted her letter of resignation anyway.
“I’m looking forward to seeing you leave.” Fiona laughed out loud.
“Be quiet.”
Quincy walked in and stood at the head of the table.
He put his hands on the table and looked around. His face registered surprise when he saw Renee.
Quincy couldn’t believe that Renee joined the competition.
She even made it through the primary contest!
But his eyes didn’t linger on Renee. “We got drafts not only from the Design Department but also from three colleagues from other departments for this competition, so we voted without knowing the authors. And after a discussion, we had the list. It’s worth mentioning that one of the top three was from outside the Design Department.”
Everyone was surprised at the news.
Fiona opened her mouth wide in shock. There was only one person in this room who was not part of the Design Department: Renee.
Fiona blushed in embarrassment.
Renee was stunned. How could she make it to the top three?
She had mixed feelings about the achievement, though.
Fiona forced a smile and said, “Lisa must be number one then.”
After all, Lisa’s design was right at the top of the screen.
Lisa smiled and glanced at Renee, thinking, “So what? I still beat you.”
Quincy said calmly, “Unfortunately, first prize goes to someone outside the Design Department.”
Lisa’s gloating smile froze.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Renee looked up at the screen as if she had predicted the outcome. There was only one picture up there: No. 52.
Quincy looked at the three amateurs ahead and asked, “Whose work is this?”
