My Beloved-Chapter 449 - AN OFFER

Roosevelt suddenly remembered something and said, "All right, I won't. By the way, since we are talking about the Managing Director, I remember he told me to tell you that he wanted to see you."

"Huh? Why me?" John Lu was confused. There was no reason for The Managing Director to ask for an intern.

"Yes, why is our new intern needed to meet our Managing Director?" Arthur sang along. He didn't like the idea of John Lu getting to know the Managing Director. He wanted John to be his friend only.

Roosevelt gleefully commented, "What do you know? The Managing Director thought our John is a capable intern. Since he can find faults with the Junior Executive, he must have a good brain on his shoulders. That's why he wants John to take over a project in France. A new shopping mall has been built there and we need John there to make sure the number of customers will increase and make our products popular."

John Lu became a bit nervous. He thought he wasn't ready yet for this kind of project. "I don't think I'm the right person for this job." Moreover, he was an intern. If he made the slightest mistake, his confidence level would decrease. It would be harmful to his career.

Arthur thought the same. "That's too much for an intern. Don't you think so?"

Roosevelt shrugged. "I told the Managing Director the same thing but he said he had faith in our intern." He lowered his voice and added, "I think he wants to test your limits."

"Or maybe he has a grudge against me." John Lu's expression wasn't good.

"Don't say that. Go and meet him after you finish your remaining task." Roosevelt patted his back as if he was assuring nothing bad would happen. Even though he thought Mo Yuan's act was crazy this time, he didn't mention it. If something were to go wrong, who was going to take the responsibility. It's an international project at that.

"Don't worry John, I will go with you," Arthur reassured the new intern.

"I will pass," John Lu avoided eye contact and quickly headed toward his seat.

Arthur gazed at his petit back for a while before questioning, "Don't you think there is something off about him?"

Roosevelt turned to look where John Lu went and then faced Arthur with a frown. "What's off with John? Do you think he is a spy?"

"Not that, I think something isn't right about him," Arthur mumbled. His sharp eyes slightly narrowed.

Roosevelt saw his expression and wanted to laugh. "Don't tell me you are into men now. Man, flirt with girls all you want but don't go after boys. Your mom will slice you apart."

"I know." Arthur smiled mischievously and stated, "It's more fun doing something that you shouldn't do."

"Cough! Cough!" Roosevelt cleared his throat and demanded, "Finish your remaining work and report to me before lunch."

Arthur replied, "Yes, sir!"

"What did you say? John got assigned to an international project!" Lisa spoke loudly. Her eyes were as wide as a flying saucer and her jaw dropped on the floor.

She wasn't the only one who had this reaction. Others had the same expression just like her.

"It's hard to believe. He came not even a month before and got an international project! Arthur, did you hear it right?" Diana elbowed Arthur who was leaning on her desk.

Arthur answered, "I've heard it directly from the mouth of our Department Manager. He told John right in front of me. There is no way I can make a mistake like that." During lunch, he came to tell everyone about the news of John Lu in the cafeteria.

"What on earth makes our managing Director take this decision?" Lisa pondered.

"Huh? Can't you imagine? He nailed the proposal meeting last week. Have you forgotten that?" Diana reminded her.

"Ahh, now I remember. That was…" Lisa suddenly shut her mouth. Her eyes took a 180-degree turn and stole a glance at Bridgette. Lisa was a Junior Executive. With her position, she couldn't dare to mock someone who came to this company before her. However, Diana was different. As a Senior Executive, she could mock a junior.

"Isn't this too much?" Bridgette clenched her fist and glared at Arthur. She retorted, "He just came and got an opportunity like that and we have been stuck here for more than a year. He is just an intern. What is so good about a student?"

Arthur calmly answered, "He is good enough to find some mistakes in your proposal and give you a better proposal. Although the Managing Director hadn't seen John working, he must have heard everything from the Department Manager (Roosevelt)." He didn't feel like humoring her.

She was a beauty he admitted that but underneath her skin, she was a snake. She would bite anyone she felt that they were the reason she was behind. She didn't care about right and wrong. She only cared about herself. That kind of person was dangerous.

The expression of Bridgette became ferocious. "He just made one move and got an international project! Not even a Junior Executive could get such an opportunity. Or is it that he has a relationship with someone from the upper level?"

"He hasn't made any mistake after he started working. Does it count that he is serious and diligent? The Department Manager even told me before lunch that if he can nail this project, he will be taken as a permanent employee."

"Heh, I heard about that before too." Bridgette snorted. "If he fails, I hope he is kicked out."

Arthur ignored her comment and remarked, "Let's wait and see what he can do."

After lunch, John Lu headed to the highest floor. He was told that the Managing Director's office was right before the Vice President's room. He was a bit nervous. He rubbed his stomach and thought, 'Thank goodness I didn't fill my stomach with food.'

He stood in front of Mo Yuan's room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Enter," Mo Yuan's deep voice could be heard from the inside.
