Jiang Can was taken aback. She saw Fang Jinyang blocking her way, smiling sarcastically, his eyes full of hostility and disdain.
"Ha, this junior has grown wings now, all high and mighty! She's even eyeing my position?"
Jiang Can didn't want to argue with him, so she stepped aside and walked away. Fang Jinyang's voice rang out behind her again.
"You think that old fox Sun Teng genuinely wants to promote you? He's just using you!"
Jiang Can turned to look at him.
Fang Jinyang impatiently tugged at his tie a couple of times, looking exasperated.
He slowly walked to her side, and Jiang Can felt nauseous when she smelled the pungent smell of smoke on him.
"Junior, if you really like this position, I'll give it to you! Why resort to such tactics?"
“I have never coveted your position.” Jiang Can looked at him coldly. “It was President Sun who summoned me and said…”
"They say the capable should do more?" Fang Jinyang scoffed. "That old fox used me the same way back then!"
Jiang Can's eyes darkened for a moment, and she leaned back, deliberately creating distance between herself and him.
"Yangcheng is a tough nut to crack that has been gnawed down for so many years. Even the chairman is at a loss. You think you can take it down?"
"Whether it's possible or not, we'll only know after we try." Jiang Can spoke clearly, her eyes bright. "The company has never been about seniority. If you're so afraid that I'll take your position, then compete with me fairly and squarely!"
Fang Jinyang burst into laughter.
"Jiang Can, you're so adorably silly! Alright, since you've made up your mind to tackle this tough nut, I'll share some of my experiences from all these years with you!"
“There are four major families in Yangcheng. You could take down any one of them and live off them for a lifetime!” Fang Jinyang’s eyes were sinister. “But don’t even think about the Huo family, the head of the four families. The Bai family, on the other hand, is worth a try! That young master Bai is quite the dashing playboy. With my junior’s looks, maybe she can catch his eye!”
Jiang Can's face turned ashen. She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and after a few seconds of silence, she looked up and smiled at Fang Jinyang.
"The senior always likes to talk about women's looks."
Fang Jinyang paused, then narrowed his eyes to examine her.
“Fang Jinyang,” Jiang Can said coldly, calling him by his full name, “Do you think that if a woman achieves even a little success, she must have used her looks to please men and resort to underhanded tactics? Do you think that if a woman wants to make something of herself, she must have to sell her body and take so-called shortcuts?”
Fang Jinyang glanced at her and chuckled dismissively.
"Ha, Manager Fang, you keep talking about these things all the time. You must really envy women for having this natural advantage, right? Before you closed a deal, you must have hated being a man and not being able to take the 'shortcuts' that women take!"
“But it’s okay,” Jiang Can said, crossing his arms. “There’s a country in Southeast Asia that’s quite advanced in sex reassignment surgery. It’s close to us, and the cost of living is low. A round-trip ticket would only cost Manager Fang about half a month’s salary! You can totally take a weekend to go and have the surgery done!”
"What?" Fang Jinyang gritted his teeth. "Jiang Can, you..."
"Manager Fang, you are such a handsome man. If you were a woman, your looks would definitely surpass mine! The company's performance would then depend entirely on you, Manager Fang!"
There were quite a few people around who covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this, whispering about Fang Jinyang's humiliated appearance.
Jiang Can curled her lips coldly and turned to walk away.
Fang Jinyang stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time. Jiang Can's indifferent yet ruthless gaze sent chills down his spine, just like Gu Mang's that day when he hit him.
...
When Jiang Can got home, she started looking up information on her computer as soon as she finished dinner.
Gu Mang curiously looked behind her and was surprised to find that Jiang Can's computer screen displayed a picture of Bai Jingyuan!
Jiang Can studied the information and photos all night, memorizing Bai Jingyuan's preferences perfectly...
Gu Mang's eyes narrowed, and he silently walked to the balcony and closed the sliding door. There were his punching bag and boxing gloves on the balcony. He had been boxing for a while, but the more he boxed, the more suffocated he felt. He glanced into the room and saw Jiang Can still engrossed in the computer.
He punched the sandbag hard, sending it flying, and stood in the corner of the balcony.
He took out his phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Bai Jingyuan's number.
"Third Brother?" Bai Jingyuan was at a bar and was somewhat surprised to receive the call. "What can I do for you?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Bai Jingyuan glanced at the screen; the signal was good, and the call hadn't been disconnected. So he asked again, "Third Brother, what happened?"
Gu Mang remained silent.
"Third Brother, if there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll definitely..."
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the phone: "Don't you dare show your face in front of me again if you have nothing better to do!"
Bai Jingyuan was startled, and when he looked at the screen again, the call had already ended.
He simply couldn't believe that Gu Mang, who never took the initiative to contact him, would call him late at night just to yell at him like that.
Bai Jingyuan was completely bewildered and looked at Ye Chen with a wry smile: "...How did I offend this man again?"
