Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Fair Competition
"I think it should be a fair competition. This is a company project, not just mine. It’s not appropriate to show favoritism."
"I don’t think it’s favoritism, it’s survival of the fittest."
Justin Battleson looked up at her, countering.
Charlotte Thompson wrinkled her brow slightly, "I know I’m capable, so I’m not afraid of competition!"
Upon hearing her words, Justin Battleson’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
This woman, she’s really quite confident.
"Everyone in the company can participate in the design competition. The excellent work will be selected and the strength will speak. It not only avoids hurting relationships but also makes everything convincing."
Upon finishing her statement, Charlotte Thompson nodded, quite satisfied with her own words.
She didn’t want to show favoritism within the company.
Besides, she noticed the hard work of the employees during this period.
Without Cindy stirring up trouble, everyone was working hard.
She knew that every striving individual was beautiful. Charlotte Thompson herself had once strived for the top, seeing these people struggle, she could not be unaffected.
But Charlotte Thompson was not entirely selfless, she very much wanted to win this project as well.
However, accepting so easily now would lead to unnecessary troubles later on.
Not to mention whether they could do well, once Charlotte Thompson secures the project from Justin Battleson, she would undoubtedly be slandered in the future.
Only by standing out in the competition and winning by strength can she convince everyone.
After considering all the factors, Charlotte Thompson thus made such a balanced statement.
After listening to her words, Justin Battleson didn’t speak, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly he realized he never really understood her, nor did he have a clear understanding of her personality.
Yes, if she was Sophie Allen, he had no interest in understanding her five years ago.
If she is Charlotte Thompson, how could he thoroughly understand her in such a short span of time?
However, seeing her face such huge temptation without wavering earned her Justin Battleon’s newfound admiration.
No wonder he fancied her. She’s bold indeed.
At this thought, Justin Battleson couldn’t help but give her a deep look. His eyes were filled with paternal-like "pride".
Feeling his gaze, Charlotte Thompson uncomfortably dodged his look.
What is Justin Battleson doing? Staring at her so openly?
Charlotte Thompson felt eerie due to his inexplicably intense gaze, the two remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed a bit thick.
"Then lets compete fairly. Do your best."
Justin Battleson sighed reluctantly, finally agreeing to the proposal for a fair competition.
He always felt if he didn’t agree, Charlotte Thompson could lecture him endlessly.
"Oh yeah! Good that you agreed."
Charlotte Thompson laughed, her eyes curling in genuine joy.
Regardless of what he said, she would try her best anyway.
She had been secretly probing the caliber of Vanguard Jewelry’s designers these days.
Some had average skills, wanting to climb up using this opportunity.
Not many were as skilful as her and everyone wanted to use this as a stepping stone to increase their fame.
The most threatening was still Cindy, the chief designer for many years isn’t just a title.
She hadn’t had a good piece in a while and was eager to stabilize her position with this project, hence would be a strong contender.
"Stop thinking and eat." Seeing Charlotte Thompson in a daze, Justin Battleson broke the silence, then added a piece of meat to her bowl.
