I was stopped in the corridor by the manager with a big smile on his face. The project had not been going well because he had had put a lot of obstacles in the way. In the face of his sudden concern, I had to be more careful.
"No. It’s just that there are some details that needed to be modified."
The manager left after saying, “If there is any problems, you can consult Billy.” This made me a little uncomfortable.
Billy was the team leader of the second group and entered through the back door, which was a well-known secret. The reason why the manager didn't support our project was that Billy was not involved in this project.
The most important thing at the moment was not to think about these hidden rules. The most important thing was to get the contract done.
I stood there respectfully and watched the manager leave. When he was far away, I turned around and went to the administrative department’s office.
When I finished all the registration procedures and looked at the seal on the contract, I was finally relieved.
As soon as I came out of the administrative office, Evan called me and asked me to go to his office.
As soon as I entered the office, Evan got straight to the point. “You’ve worked hard during this period of time. Give me the contract.”
I clutched the contract tightly and took half a step back. Seeing that I did not respond, Evan looked up at me and said, “Do you think you can hide it from me? Give me the contract quickly.”
Only then did I remember that the staff from the administrative department had been sending messages when I was there. It seemed that they had informed Evan.
Anyway, I couldn't take such a big order by myself, so I simply handed the contract to Evan.
Evan took the contract and glanced at it briefly. “Well done! The company will be saved this time. Our team”s performance this year will definitely be the best!”
As I wanted to remind Evan of reading the supplementary terms of the contract carefully, he interrupted me. "Andrew, I'll take the contract to the Director Hayas later. Don't let the manager know about this. I'll help you get a bonus later! You've worked hard during this period of time. I'll decide to give you five days off and go back to rest."
There was nothing out of the ordinary on Evan's face, but I was still a little worried and reminded him, "Sir, there are some supplementary terms in this contract..."
