Rachel and Cecilia walked into the office. Rachel’s voice was cold and indifferent, carrying amanding presence that filled the room.


    “I’m sure everyone has seen thepany announcement. Sharon didn’t resign for no reason. She


    deliberately tried to sabotage our rtionship with our partnerpany. She knew full well that we were seeking coboration with LS Enterprise, yet she still went behind our backs and tried to drive a wedge


    between us and Mr. Hunt.


    “If she had seeded, and Mr. Hunt pulled out due to misunderstandings about my character, who would


    bear the consequences of that loss?”


    Rachel’s words left everyone in the office speechless.


    Among the crowd, Yvette nced down at her freshly manicured nails and said softly, “Could it be that you targeted Sharon just because she was one of my people? No matter what, Sharon was a long–time


    employee. Firing her like this–won’t it chill the hearts of everyone else here?”


    The office, which had just quieted down, instantly erupted again because of Yvette’s words.


    “She’s got a point. Sharon’s out today. What if one of us is next?”


    “Stop it, you’re scaring me! I’m already panicking.”


    “Right? If just a few words can get you fired, we’re all walking on eggshells now. Who knows when one of


    us will end up jobless?”


    “ssic new leadership movee in strong to set the tone. Looks like Ms. Rachel’s setting an example.


    Cecilia rolled her eyes and red at Yvette. That woman really knew how to fan the mes.


    Rachel simply cast Yvette a disdainful nce before smiling smugly.


    “I can promise everyone this. As long as youplete your assigned tasks on time and refrain from spreading rumors or gossiping about your superiors, you’ll be able to retire from Lloyd Enterprise without


    worry,


    “Also, I have great news, Just moments ago, the CEO of Sky Tech Enterprise personally called me. Their new energy project has officially been awarded to us. Starting next month, all sries and annual bonuses will be doubled.”


    The room erupted in cheers.


    “Oh my goodness! This has to be the peak for ourpany. I’ve never seen usnd two major projects in a single month!”


    “I suddenly feel like my future is glowing. And Sharon? Such an idiot for trying to sabotage our rtionship with Mr. Hunt! She didn’t stop to think. If he really got the wrong impression of Ms. Rachel, where would that leave the rest of us?”


    “Exactly! She almost ruined everything!”


    Yvette watched the tide turnpletely in Rachel’s favor.


    Just moments ago, all these people had been pledging loyalty to her, vowing <i>to </i>find ways to force Rachel


    out.


    Now, they were switching sides in an instant.


    Rachel narrowed her eyes and then deliberately smirked in Yvette’s direction. Yvette’s face turned bright red with anger.


    “Well, since no one seems to have any objections to how I manage thispany, let’s wrap up. I’ll have someone draft newpany policies shortly. Rest assured–during my term, there will be no favoritism, no collusion, and no shielding of ipetence.”


    Everyone knew exactly what thosest two points referred to.


    During Yvette’s time in charge, those who were close to her got all the benefits.


    Competence didn’t matter. What mattered most was knowing how to keep her happy.


    For those who actually had real skills, that favoritism had always been a major roadblock for career


    progression.
