Yu Xiang has been working at Lanxin for almost two years.
Because of her outstanding performance at the branch, she was promoted to the branch company after serving as the store manager for a year.
Wang Jianshe is no longer serving as the general manager of the Haishi branch; he has been promoted and transferred to a regional management position.
After Lanxin grew bigger and stronger, in addition to the managers of the branches in various places, it also divided into several major regions and set up separate management. Otherwise, the group headquarters would have too many things to manage and coordinate.
Like Erwa before her, Yu Xiang joined the branch company, but no one knew her true family background.
In the family member section, she did write Erwa's name, but in the occupation section, she wrote that she was self-employed.
The HR department wouldn't investigate that thoroughly. Even if Erwa's name seemed familiar, they would just assume it was a coincidence that they shared the same name.
The very few people in the company who had attended Erwa's wedding, such as Wang Jianshe, were not in the branch office, so Yu Xiang's entry into the branch office made no splash at all.
Unlike Erwa, who went directly into the branch office, Yu Xiang's starting position in the branch office was higher than Erwa's due to her seniority outside.
She joined the marketing department's team responsible for overseeing all the restaurants in Haishi Lanxin, and served as the deputy team leader.
Yu Xiang herself is not particularly outstanding in appearance, but she is generally pleasing to the eye. Coupled with a happy family and a successful career, she also has a unique charm.
Because she was a local of Haishi and I heard that she also owned a house in Haishi, she was more likely to be accepted even though she was new to the city.
Of course, while some showed goodwill towards Yu Xiang, others harbored hostility towards her. For example, those below her who believed the deputy group leader position should have belonged to them were very unhappy with her.
He felt that Yu Xiang's sudden arrival had stolen his good fortune.
Fortunately, Yu Xiang was not a complete novice with no social experience, and she was able to handle the hostility that was not too obvious.
She was, after all, a local from Haishi and the deputy team leader. Even if the other party was hostile towards her, they wouldn't dare to go too far.
Erwa recalled his experience when he first joined the company and worried that his wife would be bullied there.
When Yu Xiang returned home, he would always ask her if she had enjoyed her time at the company.
Yu Xiang only said that everything was fine, and Erwa was relieved.
Compared to the naive newcomer he once was, Erwa has changed a lot now.
He really learned a lot during his time in Lanxin.
When he resigned to start his own business, the burden on his shoulders became even heavier.
Fortunately, he is doing well now and has not let down those who wholeheartedly followed him.
Yu Xiang didn't intentionally hide her family background; she just felt there was no need to bring it up. She wanted to earn respect and success through her own abilities.
If she had come in from the beginning with the label of being the chairman's daughter-in-law, regardless of whether she achieved her success herself, people would probably have thought she relied on her connections.
Having been with the company for almost a month, Yu Xiang has adapted quite well in all aspects and has also found two colleagues she gets along with well, who are also her dining buddies at the cafeteria on weekdays.
Lanxin's main business is catering, and the food in the company cafeteria is very good. If the cafeteria didn't not offer takeout, many companies in the surrounding area would want to come and eat there.
Yu Xiang had two colleagues she got along with well. One of them was particularly adept at gossip; she knew everything that happened in the company, including the private affairs of many leaders and people in other departments.
Yu Xiang felt that this person was wasting his talent by not becoming an entertainment reporter.
Fortunately, this colleague was well-informed but not annoying; he had good relationships with people in various departments and was always the first to hear about things.
Yu Xiang ate several meals with her, which broadened her horizons considerably.
Knowing that Yu Xiang was married, that same married colleague would still chat with her about marriage and family.
Yu Xiang didn't directly reveal her mother-in-law's identity. She only said that her mother-in-law wasn't around and that she and her husband lived alone. However, she said that her mother-in-law was understanding and that they had a very good relationship, which her colleague envied.
Knowing that Yu Xiang had not yet given birth and that her in-laws were not urging her, they were even more envious.
"It's better to have the baby later, so I can enjoy a few more years of carefree life. My little darling, oh my, don't even mention it. I'm tired from work, and I'm tired when I get home."
Yu Xiang smiled faintly and remained silent.
She is a good listener, but she doesn't judge right or wrong too much.
The one who loves gossip isn't married yet, but she has a boyfriend she's been dating for over a year.
The three of them always walked together, and the male colleague in the same department who was hostile to her would always snort when they saw them.
This male colleague also has a girlfriend in another department. Because of her boyfriend, she occasionally comes to their department and gives Yu Xiang a hostile look.
As long as the animosity between the two wasn't made public, Yu Xiang would pretend she hadn't seen it.
She always acted so nonchalantly, which only made the other person feel more uncomfortable.
Although she had only been there for a month, Yu Xiang's outstanding work ability earned her the recognition and praise of her superiors.
When it came time to travel for work, the boss thought Yu Xiang was outstanding and specifically asked to bring her along.
The boss is a married man in his forties. He went on a business trip with Yu Xiang. On the first day after they left, Yu Xiang went on a date with her boyfriend after get off work. When her boyfriend complained that Yu Xiang was being promoted by her boss, his girlfriend rolled her eyes.
"Why did they choose her out of everyone else when they first arrived? Is there something fishy going on here?"
Reminded by his girlfriend, Zhuo Changfeng muttered, "No way, she's already married."
"So what if you're married? These days, aren't there plenty of married people having affairs?"
Once you've made up your mind about something, everything else you see will be distorted.
Zhuo Changfeng now believes that whether Yu Xiang was parachuted in as deputy team leader and outshone him, or was praised for her good performance, it was all because of her extraordinary relationship with her superior.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
When he returned to the office, his words inevitably carried a hint of resentment.
The implication was that Yu Xiang was a person of poor character.
The two women who were close to Yu Xiang were naturally uncomfortable to hear this, but since Zhuo Changfeng did not name names, their words of defense seemed to acknowledge that Yu Xiang was indeed like that.
When Yu Xiang returned from her business trip, Zhuo Changfeng finally had someone to vent his pent-up resentment.
"Some people, once they have a family, should be on the right track to uphold traditional virtues. Any benefits gained through crooked means will eventually be exposed and backfire."
Yu Xiang didn't realize at first that this was directed at her, until she was reminded of it when she went to the cafeteria for a meal.
"Why is Zhuo Changfeng suddenly saying this about you? Did he misunderstand something?"
Yu Xiang was taken aback. "Is he talking about me?" She then found it quite amusing.
"I just went on a business trip with our boss, how did it escalate to the level of being unfaithful? It's ridiculous. Does that mean that male and female colleagues can't go on business trips together in this company?"
"We don't know why he suddenly became like this."
"Hmph, let him be sarcastic. I'm innocent, but if he dares to really talk about me, I'll have a good talk with him."
"Absolutely, we support you."
