Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Something Different Has Happened

After all, other companies also have senior employees with deep qualifications.

And in the company, they have a foundation, far beyond what Li Xiaoyun, a newcomer, can achieve in terms of power.

Even if Li Xiaoyun is capable and experienced, it’s not her territory in a new environment; she has no influence.

But if she doesn’t leave, she will definitely be troubled by Zheng Xuelin.

So, the best result is for Li Xiaoyun to secure the supervisor position.

And honestly, Zhou Yunyun truly believes that Li Xiaoyun is far more generous than Zheng Xuelin.

If Zheng Xuelin gets promoted, he might squeeze out Li Xiaoyun.

But if Li Xiaoyun gets promoted, she definitely won’t squeeze out Zheng Xuelin.

Rather, Zheng Xuelin is likely to use his existing influence to continue opposing and troubling Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun smiled and said, "This can only be discussed when the time comes."

What she can do now is strive to compete and get promoted.

"Anyway, I’m supporting you, Sister Xiao Yun," Zhou Yunyun said.

Li Xiaoyun patted Zhou Yunyun’s shoulder and said, "I appreciate your support, but on a regular basis, don’t openly stand by my side. If I lose and Zheng Xuelin gets promoted, it’ll be awkward for you."

"If he gets promoted, I think staying here will be uncomfortable for me," Zhou Yunyun muttered, "With his mindset, all the credit will be his and all the responsibility ours."

"How can one work well in such an environment?" Zhou Yunyun complained, "The workplace is never easy, but it shouldn’t be hell mode either."

This made Li Xiaoyun laugh.

Hell mode, really?

Is it really that scary!

"Anyway, Sister Xiao Yun, Zheng Xuelin is just relying on this business to get promoted," Zhou Yunyun said, "I know you don’t want to use any tactics to sabotage him and want a fair competition, but at least investigate thoroughly, know yourself and the enemy."

"Knowing exactly what Zheng Xuelin is doing, being aware is better than knowing nothing," Zhou Yunyun said.

"You are the only one who insists on fairness. Zheng Xuelin certainly doesn’t think this way," Zhou Yunyun said, "If it were Zheng Xuelin in your shoes, he’d certainly sabotage the deal, doing whatever it takes to get promoted."

Actually, according to Zhou Yunyun, Zheng Xuelin is already using all means possible now.

There are many rumors among colleagues that the business Zheng Xuelin deals with has suspicious origins.

It seems to vaguely relate to some scandalous matters.

But everyone is just speculating, all unfounded rumors, with no evidence, so no one dares to say anything.

"I’m not a pushover," Li Xiaoyun said, "I’m confident that even if he uses unscrupulous means, I won’t be afraid of him."

"As for dealing with him, I don’t use unscrupulous means, not because I’m noble," Li Xiaoyun said, "We’re all here to make a living; unless it’s a matter of principle, other things aren’t about nobility."

"But using unscrupulous means, violating morals, in my view, is a principled mistake. I don’t want to cross that line because what would I become then?" Li Xiaoyun said.

"Just for more money and trapping myself in moral condemnation for the rest of my life?" Li Xiaoyun shook her head, "I certainly don’t want that."

"I want to live more honestly, not stepping on thin ice or sharp blades," Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhou Yunyun nodded, not saying anything more.

And shortly after, colleagues arrived one after another.

Some colleagues even quietly contacted her via WeChat.

Lin Lingli: "Xiao Yun, did you hear that Zheng Xuelin just landed a big deal?"

Li Xiaoyun: "I heard some rumors, but he hasn’t signed it yet, right?"

Lin Lingli: "It seems he hasn’t signed it yet. But he looks extremely confident, as if this deal is already his. Just shy of an early celebration."

Lin Lingli: "If this deal really goes through for him, then the supervisor position..."

Li Xiaoyun sighed inwardly, everyone kept asking her that.

How should she respond?

If Zheng Xuelin gets promoted because of this.

So what?

Can she deliberately ruin Zheng Xuelin’s deal?

As said before, if Zheng Xuelin lands that deal, it’s his capability.

He has worked hard too, competing with his ability.

Her failure to compete would only mean her own inadequacies.

And right at this moment, their department manager, soon to be promoted, appeared at her office door, calling out, "Xiao Yun, come in."

All the colleagues in the office focused their gaze on Li Xiaoyun.

Watching her stand up and enter Manager Tang’s office.

"Manager Tang," Li Xiaoyun called out upon entering.

Outside working hours, Li Xiaoyun would call her Sister Tang directly.

But now, during working hours, Li Xiaoyun followed the rules.

Since Manager Tang is also female, it avoided many situations that often arise in the workplace.

Li Xiaoyun always thought it was pretty good.

"Xiao Yun, have a seat," Manager Tang said.

By Manager Tang’s demeanor, it wasn’t because Li Xiaoyun had done something wrong.

Manager Tang seemed fairly approachable.

"Let me get straight to the point," Manager Tang said.

This made Li Xiaoyun’s heart rise.

By Manager Tang’s demeanor, it seemed like it was an important matter.

Is the competition result decided?

"I’m officially getting promoted on the first of next month," Manager Tang said.

"Congratulations," Li Xiaoyun immediately said.

"Thank you," Manager Tang smiled and said, "But this also means, by the end of this month, I must decide who will take my position."

"After all, even if I decide, reporting it to the higher-ups takes time for them to approve."

"Generally, the company respects my choice; when I’ve made up my mind, the company usually follows without changes, purely procedural," Manager Tang said.

"But now, some unusual circumstances arise," Manager Tang said.

"Manager Tang, what’s the matter, just tell me directly. Don’t you know my temperament? I have a broad mind, can take everything in," Li Xiaoyun smiled.

"I admire your temperament the most," Manager Tang also laughed.

"Originally, though you and Zheng Xuelin are competing for my position, I’m more inclined towards you, although I’ve never expressed it, I was actually planning to recommend you," Manager Tang said.

"From when you joined the company, entered our department, till now. I’ve witnessed your efforts and abilities step by step," Manager Tang said, "Your progress is significant and swift."

In Manager Tang’s opinion, Li Xiaoyun, in terms of abilities and character, outshines Zheng Xuelin.
