The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 292

After a pause, Coco, Andy's secretary turned to the audience. "All of you are judges except for the two companies bidding for this project. You each can vote for the company which you think has given the better presentation. The firm with the most votes will be our cooperative partner. Is everything clear?"

"Ok, now that you all know the voting mechanism... Let us all welcome the representative of Dark Blue Company to demonstrate their proposal first, " Coco announced, looking over to the direction of Autumn and Paula who were both nodding.

Paula glanced over at Autumn and smirked. Autumn had a bad vibe as her eyelids kept twitching.

Paula stood up with a confident air and began the presentation, sounding a little too enthusiastic. "Hello everyone, this is our scheme from Dark Blue Company..."

Paula waited for Autumn's reaction. She was dying to see Autumn's response when she saw that Dark Blue Company's scheme was the same as hers.

Paula showed the PPT slides and illustrated her scheme confidently. She had spent the whole night before figuring out the idea of this scheme. To her satisfaction, she finally saw Autumn's shocked expression. Then a panic-stricken Isla tried to get up to say something but she was stopped by Autumn.

Paula gave a triumphant smile as she continued to illustrate their scheme with PPT. The CEO of Dark Blue Company who was also present, frequently nodded at her, convinced that he had made a wise decision to let Paula take over this proposal.

As Paula and her boss were immersed in the joy of their imminent victory, they didn't notice that the staff in Giant Promise Company were looking at them with sour faces.

Paula naively believed that she would be the winner. But she had no idea that Cloud Advertising Company had already shown this proposal to Giant Promise Company before. Isla raised her hand to say something, but Autumn grabbed her hand and pulled her down.

"Autumn, this is..." Isla's voice was shaking. She wanted to cry out and let others know that Paula had stolen their scheme, but Autumn told her to calm down.

"Take it easy. Don't forget that Giant Promise Company has already seen this presentation. Just wait to see their response." Autumn suggested, trying to hide her laughter. 'Only people at Giant Promise Company and we know this scheme. How did Paula get this?' Autumn wondered.

She figured it out at the thought of Leila who had come to her yesterday. 'Could it be possible... that the two have joined hands to work against me?' she frowned at the thought.

Isla composed herself. 'The people working for Giant Promise Company aren't stupid. Let's wait and see. It's going to be an interesting show.' She gave a satisfied smile.

"This is... our scheme. I believe that our plan suits the corporate culture of Giant Promise Company and your activity theme. Therefore, I hope that your esteemed company can give our company the opportunity, " Paula concluded her presentation. Bill, CEO of Dark Blue Company, applauded first with a satisfied smile. But the rest sat still, looking at one another. Only when Andy clapped did they also start clapping but with much confusion on their faces.

"It seems that Miss Pan is well-prepared, " Andy said to Paula. "I'm flattered. Giant Promise Company is our important client. We endeavor to work out the best scheme for you. It's good for both of us, " Paula responded smiling.

Paula glanced at Autumn and smiled, as if her scheme had already been chosen.
