Cheng Ling is never one to sit idly by and wait for death; she firmly believed that opportunity favors the prepared.
Yu Xiaoxiao sat in her car, looking at Cheng Ling blocking her way, completely bewildered. Although she didn’t know Cheng Ling, she had seen her a few times in the cafeteria when she was with Lin Qiao, so she had a vague impression of her.
Cheng Ling gave her a perfunctory greeting, then directly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Yu Xiaoxiao thought that she was seeing things and looked at her, puzzled: “Are you sure you’re not mistaken for someone else?”
Cheng Ling didn’t keep her in suspense and said directly, “I haven’t mistaken you for someone else. I’m looking for you, Yu Xiaoxiao. You should know who I am, right?”
Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t reply, but waited with a head full of question marks for what she would say next.
“I’ve inquired about next week’s performance review, and the PR department has no intention of keeping you.” Cheng Ling said with a hint of threat.
Yu Xiaoxiao was taken aback by her absurd move and replied with a laugh, “The probation exam hasn’t even started yet, and you already know I won’t be retained?”
Cheng Ling remained calm: “Among the interns in our investment department this time, there’s one named Zhou Yuan, who is the illegitimate son of your public relations manager, Mr. Qian. Coincidentally, Mr. Zheng’s daughter will be applying to Baitian next month for spring recruitment, and she’s studying journalism. Where do you think Mr. Zheng will put her?”
The larger the company, the more likely it is to have people with connections among its employees. It’s an open secret that Mr. Qian has an illegitimate son interning in the investment department; almost everyone in their public relations department knows about it.
The Mr. Zheng that Cheng Ling mentioned is the head of the Investment Department. For people of their rank, getting someone into their department is a piece of cake. Therefore, whether it’s a small favor or a return of courtesy, if Mr. Zheng’s daughter really wants to join Baitian, the most likely position is in the Public Relations Department.
The group headquarters’ recruitment plan for this year has already been announced, and there’s only one opening in the Public Relations Department. If what Cheng Ling said is true, once Yu Xiaoxiao stays, Mr. Zheng’s daughter will have to choose another position if she wants to join Baitian. Mr. Qian and Mr. Zheng have always been on good terms; how could they let go of this opportunity to return the favor?
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Yu Xiaoxiao’s face turned cold.
“Cooperate with me, and I’ll help you stay in Baitian.” Cheng Ling stated her conditions.
“You?” Yu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly.
“You might not even be able to stay on your own.”
Cheng Ling’s face twitched slightly at being hit, but she quickly regained her composure.
“Yes, I might not be able to stay, but as Lin Qiao’s only good friend in the company, how come you’ve fallen to the point of having to live in constant fear like us?”
She probably knew about the feud between Yu Xiaoxiao and Lin Qiao, deliberately emphasizing the words ‘good friend’.
“That’s just how Lin Qiao is. She only cares about her own interests and doesn’t care about the lives of others. No matter how good you are to her, she’s not willing to do anything for you, not even lift a finger.”
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression darken, Cheng Ling continued to fan the flames.
