Chapter 50 Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow
It didn’t take long for Camel to find out the truth. When he brought the evidence to Baron, thetter was
furious. “Son of a bitch! I never thought a department head would ept bribes and the figures are
huge! What is worse, she has leaked the secrets of thepany!”
Baron was sitting at his desk, flicking through the rest of the papers. Momentster, he said with a
sneer, “we can totally put her into prison for the next ten years, with these papers alone.”
“Chairman, do we hand it over to the police now?” Asked Camel warily. He stood by the table and
guessed Chairman’s next step. But, to his surprise, Baron put the papers in the trash!
“No, it''s not the right time yet. She just got the bonus, so she is about to throw a dinner party tonight.
The bitch insulted Tracy in public today, so, putting her in jail would have been too kind. She needs to
pay more for that. Do you have any thoughts?” Baron said angrily.
After a few seconds of puzzlement, Camel soon took Baron’s hint. “I see! You mean... The faster she
rises, the harder she falls.”
“You got me!” Baron said and a slight smile broke on his lips.
Apparently, Rosie was unaware that the great danger wasing. She was intoxicated with
excitement all day for her 100,000-dollor-bonus. Everyone surrounded her and said congrattions.
She became the center of attention.
After sending the message, Tracy had very confidence that Baron could manage it, because he was
the man that bought Samho. She put her work away, because she had to make enough preparation to
take over the manager position.
She was the founder of Samho and spent many years in there, so she actually knew a lot about the
business.
If she hadn’t been bullied by Rosie, she could get the position on her own. But things were getting
chaotic in Samho now.
Considering the circumstances, she had to get the position in other ways. Or else, Rosie would squash
all of her dreams Tracy did believe that she had the ability to be the manager and erected the situation.
“Did you hear the news, Rosie? The headquarters has made a decision about the manager position,
and they will announce the appointment by the end of today,” a well-dressed woman told Rosie.
“Really?” Rosie asked, with a cry of surprise.
The woman nodded her head. “Yeah, of course! Rosie, you are perfect at your job, the bonus is the
proof. Whoever gets that position will just value you!” Answered the woman, with a smile.
On hearing these words, Rosie suddenly felt a trace of exultation. “I hope so. I will show the new
manager my ability.”
“Well, I’m sure you can do that.” The woman said and went away.
The news of the appointment of the manager position spread quickly throughout thepany. And
everyone waited to see who the lucky one was, except Tracy. She was sitting at her desk, busy with
her work.
Many years ago, Tracy had been ambitious to build thepany. And now, she had this energy back.
She set about reorganizing Samho, including development ns and the management of employees.
She spent months working at the bottom, and this experience made her know thepany more than
before. She believed strongly that she would steer thepany to unprecedented levels.
“Look at that bitch! I''m really curious why she is so busy?” Rosie talked to her colleague, pointing at
Tracy.
The colleague nced where Rosie was pointing. “She is nothing but a clown! Look! She is acting like
she''s still the chairman of Samho! I guess she has not yet adapted herself to the miserable situation.”
Rosie sneered and motioned the colleague to follow her. “Let''s go and see.”
When they walked toward Tracy, thetter just finished her work.
“Tracy, have you heard the news?” Rosie asked.
“I''m not sure what you''re referring to,” Tracy said, frowning.
“That''s ridiculous. The new manager is about to take office! But you knew nothing about it!” The
colleague said sarcastically.
“I guess she was just acting. After all, she was once the chairman of Samho. But now, she is nothing!
So, who''s more upset about this news than her?” Rosie said with a sneer.
“Anyway, I understand why she was so upset. The higher they are, the harder they fall. This is a sad
story,” agreed the colleague.
“Not only that, she married a jerk and gave him a girl. And worse, she was dumped.” Rosie continued
to insult Tracy.
“Wow! I didn''t know. That’s so funny,” the colleagueughed.
Seeing that, a crowd of colleagues gathered and entered the conversation, talking about Tracy’s
pathetic life.
Tracy’s eyes roamed over their faces, without another word. Their faces were so disgusting.
To everyone''s disappointment, when they were ready to get off work, the appointment was still not
announced. But there was another piece of good news.
“I will throw a dinner party in Spring Garden Restaurant. Make sure you alle by then,” said Rosie
happily.
“Hurray!” Everyone cheered.
Just then, a ck car stopped at the gate and a middle-aged man got outside, with a folder in his hand.
ine, the vice manager of thepany, walked quickly towards the middle-aged man. “Nice to meet
you, Stephen.”
“Sorry I''mte. I was held up by heavy traffic. Is everybody still there?” Stephen asked.
“Yes, they are waiting for you! And pleasee in,” ine said respectfully.
“ine ising this way! We’d better sit back,” Rosie reminded everyone.
When ine and Stephen walked into the room, they found everyone looking at them expectantly.
“Everyone, we''ll have a meeting very soon! I want all of you in the conference room immediately!”
ine informed and went to the conference room with Stephen.
Once they departed, there was an outbreak of muttering at this.
“So, now it''s clear the appointment will be announced soon! Why isn''t the new manager here yet?”
“Would it be ine?”
“No, no, no. It can''t be true. I have never heard of it.”
Stephen’s appearance created a flood of debate, and no one noticed that Tracy had left the crowd.
When everyone was in the conference room, ine and Stephen were already in ce. Beside them,
there was an empty seat for the new manager.
After making a short opening remarks, ine invited Stephen to announce the appointment.
Stephen made his announcement, “We have decided that the new manage of Samho would be—” He
cleared his throat and continued, “Tracy Perry! From this day on, Miss Perry will deal with everything in
thepany! And now, Miss Perry will make a speech! Wee!”
All were astonished by the words! They were so familiar with the name “Tracy”!
“Tracy, the new manager? That''s impossible! There must be a mistake,” Rosie said. She seemed very

disappointed.
“Maybe they just share the same name! It can''t be our Tracy! Hold on a second! Miss Perry is on her
way here right now,” the man beside Rosie soothed.
“You''re right. She can''t be. She''s just a fucking bitch!” Rosie looked very hard at the door, wondering
who the hell was there?
The click of high-heels drew nearer and nearer, making the pounding of Rosie''s heart seem louder.
Tracy appeared, which surprised everyone!
Rosie’s face was white. “It couldn''t be true!” She murmured.
Tracy went straight and sat down next to Stephen, ignoring Rosie’s expression. She gave a brief
speech, from which many employees, particrly those who had worked here for many years, saw
signs of hope.
Of course, some were disappointed. Until the meeting was over, they still couldn’t understand or ept
the appointment.
“Miss Perry, Wait!” Rosie hurried to catch up with Tracy.
Everyone stopped and looked at Rosie. She had insulted Tracy in public today. So, everyone was kind
of wondering how she would deal with the situation.
“What''s the matter?” Tracy said coldly.
“Miss Perry, I''m nning to have a dinner party in Spring Garden Restaurant tonight and it would be
very nice if you coulde,” said Rosie, smiling, as if she had a great rtionship with Tracy.
Tracy gave her a cold, contemptuous smile. “Sorry, I’m not qualified to your party. Because I should go
home and start cooking for my jerk husband,” she said and went off.
Rosie stared after Tracy, a spasm of panic shing across her face. She managed to hide her anxiety
and donned a look of smile. Then she turned and looked at her colleagues, said, “it''s about time. Let''s
go to the Spring Garden Restaurant together.”
“Sorry, it just urred to me that I need to go out with my husband.”
“I can''t go anywhere, because my parents havee over.”
“Me too, Rosie! I have to pick up my son from school.”
They were looking for excuses to decline the invitation. Rosie had offended Tracy, who was now the
manager. They should keep distance with her or they would get sucked into the conflict.
Suddenly, they all heard police sirens in the distance and not long afterwards, a police car parked at
thepany''s gate. Two policemen got out of the car and went straight to Rosie.
They showed their IDs and an arrest warrant. “Someone told us that you took bribes and leaked
business secrets of the Samhopany! Pleasee with us for the investigation.”
