36 NOT VERY DIFFEREN (2/2)

The marketing manager, Chu Heng, had never gotten along with Lin Man. They were always at loggerheads because of their natures. Chu Heng was a true marketer at heart and did not hesitate to use her feminine wiles to achieve her purposes. Her quick wit, beauty and charm had allowed her to be revered in her department.

Naturally, Lin Man did not like her way of doing things. She felt especially angry about the other woman's flirtatious conduct because they were the same age. How could a grown-up conduct herself like a teenager? Still, even though she was dissatisfied, Chu Heng was not despicable and did not do anything out of the line. So, she could only bear with the situation.

As the two women argued heatedly, no one could know that deep inside each admired the other. Lin Man wished that she knew how to relax and get along with others naturally like Chu Heng. On the other hand, Chu Heng wanted to be tough and smart like Lin Man.

In the long run, the gathering of managers had to vote on the issue. They decided that Hu Lei technically belonged to the international relations group and the marketing department did deserve one more ticket for their efforts. Lin Man felt angry at the smug look on her rival's face, and she could not deny the outcome.

The international relations ticket should have naturally gone to Lin Man. However, as a righteous person, she decided to give it to Hu Lei. She did not dare to hesitate in case she changed her mind. After all, she also wanted to enter Demesne.

”Hu Lei, are you still in the building?” She called and asked directly.

”Sorry, Manager Lin. I have already left.” The sweet voice of Hu Lei replied.

”Can you come back for a short moment? The distribution of the gala tickets has been decided, and I feel that you deserve one. You have really accomplished so much this week.” Lin Man explained quickly.

”Oh, thank you, Manager Lin. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you with all my questions. Well, and the thing is I already have a ticket.”

Lin Man felt like she should hug and strangle the girl through the phone. Why had she not informed her of this important matter? She would not have had the moral dilemma. She shook her head. What mattered now was that she could go to the evening gala with a clean conscience.

”I am glad then. I will see you at the gala later.”

With that, she ended the call and smiled like a little girl.
