"Sister Yuqing? What's wrong?"

Seeing that she was standing in the kitchen for a long time without moving, Jiang Can was worried that she might burn herself, so he quickly got up and went over to check on her.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yuqing couldn't stop laughing at the pot of soup and the bowl of dregs.

"This is..." Jiang Can was stunned. So this was the smell she had been smelling since she woke up early in the morning!

Lin Yuqing suppressed a laugh and looked at her meaningfully, "Don't get excited if I tell you."

"What exactly happened?"

“These are all Chinese medicinal herbs,” Lin Yuqing explained, picking up a few at random. “This is Evodia rutaecarpa, this is Polygonatum odoratum, these are deer antler glue, donkey-hide gelatin, and tortoise shell glue…”

"The rest are common ones, you should recognize them all: goji berries, mulberries, lilies, and asparagus."

Jiang Can, bewildered, looked puzzled and asked, "What are all these for? Why is Gu Mang making this kind of soup for me?"

"These are for women to nourish their yin and kidneys!" Lin Yuqing burst out laughing. "Luckily you haven't drunk them yet. If you had, I guarantee you'd be as virile as a wolf tonight, and Gu Mang wouldn't stand a chance against you!"

Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, and her face flushed red instantly.

"Hey, what's wrong with him?" Lin Yuqing hooked her arm around Jiang Can's neck. "You're on your period and can't take care of him, but he's still thinking about making you happy tonight?"

"Sister Yuqing!" Jiang Can glared at her, stopping her from continuing.

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding you anymore." Lin Yuqing helped her back to bed.

Regardless of Gu Mang's intentions, this bowl of nourishing soup is definitely not safe to drink.

Lin Yuqing made her a bowl of brown sugar water.

"By the way, there's something important I need to tell you."

Jiang Can was taken aback. Seeing that her smile had faded and her expression had become serious, he felt a little nervous. "What's wrong?"

“I passed by Mr. Sun’s office this morning and overheard him talking to Cheng Xiaoxiao…it seemed like he mentioned you.”

Jiang Can's expression changed.

Sun Teng is Cheng Xiaoxiao's uncle and a major shareholder of the company. Since she hit Cheng Xiaoxiao that day, she'll definitely go and complain to her uncle.

She can't stay at the subsidiary now, but she hasn't submitted any resumes in the last couple of days, and she still has several unfinished orders...

"Don't be nervous." Lin Yuqing patted the back of her hand. "Actually, I was quite surprised by what I heard. Cheng Xiaoxiao kept saying bad things about you, but President Sun didn't respond. Instead, he praised your work ability, which seemed to mean that he wanted to promote you to sales team leader!"

"What did you say?" Jiang Can's eyes widened, then she looked puzzled.

As a lowly saleswoman, she rarely met Sun Teng, a high-ranking company executive, and didn't know much about his character.

But I often hear from senior colleagues that this Mr. Sun is quite cultured, doesn't put on airs when meeting people, is easy to get along with, and doesn't even show favoritism towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"Perhaps President Sun really does appoint people based on merit, rather than favoritism?" Lin Yuqing looked at her. "Two senior employees left the sales department, taking many clients with them. The company is in dire need of manpower right now... Can Can, maybe this really is an opportunity!"

Jiang Can pursed her lips and remained silent.

She remembered what Gu Mang had taught her: if you are unsure about something or someone, try to consider it from their perspective.

“Sister Yuqing,” Jiang Can said softly, “if you were a major shareholder of the company, and your niece was beaten by an employee, would you promote that employee despite past grievances?”

"If that employee is very capable, do you think he will be your niece's ally or her enemy?"
