Hua Tang frowned slightly and rubbed her fingers together subconsciously.

Wu Zhanqiang smiled at her, “Hua Tang, we all think you are very suitable for this vacancy. ‘The capable do more work;’ you’re the most suitable person to help our company expand into Haicheng City’s market.”

Hua Tang suddenly felt uneasy.

“We’ve all seen the marketing plans you’ve made before. They’re perfect.” Wu Zhanqiang praised her.

“Your ability is outstanding, and your performance speaks for itself! Hua Tang, if the entry into Haicheng City’s market is successful, the board of directors won’t just promote you to the rank of sales team leader. They’ll make an exception and elevate you to sales executive. You’ll replace Yin Zhaoyang. What do you say?”

…

After leaving Wu Zhanqiang’s office, Hua Tang took a few deep breaths to control her rapid heartbeat.

She had just started her career and dealt with everything based on her instincts. She couldn’t guess Wu Zhanqiang’s intentions. Was she a pawn or cannon fodder?

The position of sales executive was a huge bait. She wondered whether the company’s market development in Haicheng City was an opportunity or a danger.

Hua Tang sighed, but then a person walked over and sneered.

Hua Tang raised her head and saw Yin Zhaoyang blocking her way, his eyes filled with hostility and disdain. “Our little Hua Tang is all grown up and thinks she is ready for the world. And now you’re eying my seat? You want to squeeze me out?”

Hua Tang couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She turned sideways and walked past him. Yin Zhaoyang’s voice sounded behind her.

“Do you think Wu Zhanqiang honestly wants to promote you? Don’t be silly. The man’s a cunning old fox. He’s just using you!”

Hua Tang turned to look at him.

With an angry expression, Yin Zhaoyang tugged at his tie impatiently and slowly walked to her side before lashing out, “If you really like my position, I’ll give it to you! There’s no need to use such methods against me! Do you find it interesting?”

“I don’t covet your position. It’s President Wu who said…” Hua Tang looked at him coldly.

“‘The capable do more work,’ right?” Yin Zhaoyang scoffed. “That old thing deceived me the same way back then!”

Hua Tang’s eyes darkened.

Yin Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and continued, “Haicheng City is a tough nut the company has been trying to crack for several years. Even the chairman can’t do anything about it. And you think you’ll be able to succeed? Even if you succeed, that old fox will see you as a threat!”

“We’ll only know after we try.” Hua Tang’s eyes were clear as she spoke, “The company has never operated based on seniority. If you’re so afraid I’ll snatch your position, compete with me openly! Stop trying to scare me off with your words.”

Yin Zhaoyang laughed out loud.

“Hua Tang, you’re so stupid it’s funny! Since you’ve decided to crack this tough nut, I’ll tell you what I’ve learned over the years, so note this! There are four families firmly established in Haicheng City. Anyone who wanted to do something in Haicheng City had to get the approval of one of the four families. Win any of them over, and you’ll be set for life!”

However, you can forget about the Fu family, the leader of the four great families. You can try the Yu family instead! It just so happens that Young Master Yu is a handsome young man. With your looks, he might change his taste and take a fancy to you!”

Hua Tang’s face was ashen as she clenched her fists tightly. After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly smiled at Yin Zhaoyang and said, “You always like to make an issue of women’s looks.”

Yin Zhaoyang was surprised at her remark and narrowed his eyes as he looked her over.

Hua Tang’s gaze was cold as she called him by his full name, “Yin Zhaoyang. Is it because, in your eyes, a woman’s achievements must have been obtained by using her beauty to seduce men?”

Yin Zhao laughed contemptuously, his thoughts on the matter evident.

Hua Tang went on and said, “Mr. Yin keeps talking about these things all day long. Could it be that you envy women with such natural advantages? You must have hated your male body to death when you failed to sign a deal. You couldn’t choose the path you thought a woman should take!”

“But don’t worry. You know Thailand, right? It’s quite developed in the field of sex change surgery. Planes are convenient, and you have a sizable salary. You can definitely find some time during the weekend to perform the surgery!”

“After you return, we can be sisters!” Hua Tang crossed her arms and looked at him.

Yin Zhaoyang furiously gritted his teeth, “Hua Tang, you…”

Hua Tang smiled. “Mr. Yin, you’re an outstanding person. How can a comely woman like me hope to compare if you become a woman? Then, the company’s performance will all depend on you! Good luck, I’ll wait for your good news…”

Hua Tang and Yin Zhaoyang’s conversation wasn’t private. Many colleagues were standing around, and when they heard her comment, they covered their mouths and laughed as they discussed in soft voices.

After Hua Tang finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Yin Zhaoyang was so angry he couldn’t think straight and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time….
