CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 191: WEALTHY SECOND GENERATION PK SUPER WEALTHY SECOND GENERATION 4_1

Truth be told, she had lacked such a kind guide all these years. Otherwise, why had she been constantly dealing with swindlers?

She said sincerely, "Thank you, Director Huang."

Just as she was about to leave, Huang Ying picked up a large pile of documents from the table. "The company will be extremely busy in the coming days. There’s a significant bidding event next week..."

"What sort of bidding?"

"It’s our company’s main event each year. All bidding companies must seal their materials. Then, we dispatch a team of key personnel. They unseal everything in front of all the company representatives, assess them on the spot, and immediately select the company with the best cost-effectiveness and highest quality for cooperation."

Yan Xixi recalled her final interview here. It had also been absolutely fair.

"It wasn’t like this before; company selection was based on relationships. So, at the end of each year, various firms would take turns engaging in public relations. But since Director Huang took office, he completely changed the old ways. He eliminated any backroom deals and unwritten rules. The sole condition for selection was maximizing the company’s benefits. This single change alone saved the company significant costs and improved quality. Otherwise, how could it have risen so rapidly in just two years?"

Yan Xixi stammered, unsure how to respond.

Huang Ying glanced at her meaningfully. "Director Huang may be young, but he is absolutely upright and wise. His greatest strength is his dedication to the public good.

"If a company wants to grow larger and stronger, to truly become a major brand, its leader must be upright and possess great wisdom. Why is it that domestic companies can operate for decades, yet ultimately produce only low-quality imitations with no international influence? It’s because many leaders themselves lack integrity, only thinking of imitation, shortcuts, and petty schemes.

"As for the likes of Director Liang, they’re not even worth mentioning. If it weren’t for the monopolistic position of their state-owned enterprise, what would he amount to?"

Everyone in the company, from top to bottom, admired Huang Xiaojue—Huang Ying was no exception. This deep respect was undoubtedly due to his personal charisma.

However, Yan Xixi didn’t understand why Huang Ying would tell her all this specifically. But she didn’t dare to ask and merely excused herself silently.

After returning to her cubicle and sitting down, she remembered. She had initially intended to approach Huang Ying to tentatively discuss resigning, but after being so thoroughly swayed by Huang Ying’s words, she had completely forgotten to mention it.

Do you know Fu Mei’s annual salary? After a few years of work, she can easily afford a house and a car; the latter half of her life will be so carefree. Am I so foolish as to turn down more money?

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to focus. Didn’t I work so hard to graduate from university for this very purpose? Why would I waste the opportunity now that I have it? Yan Xixi, you’re already 27, and you’ll be an ’old leftover woman’ by 30. If by then you still have no house, no car, and are empty-handed—just like that vicious stranger said, "becoming cast-off old clothes that nobody wants even at half price"—that would be truly tragic.

She left work a bit late that Friday. By the time she finished tidying her desk, it was almost seven o’clock.

While waiting for a taxi at the street corner opposite, a car pulled up and stopped. "Xixi, get in."

She got in and sat down. She remained silent, feeling a little nervous.

Huang Xiaojue had been busy with the bidding process these past few days, so they hadn’t seen each other. She had also been trying her best to avoid him. There wasn’t much to say now; she just felt awkward. It seemed like they had suddenly grown distant since that day.
