At the same time, in the Gao Family Company, located a bit farther from the city center, a similarly shocking scene was unfolding. All the Gao family members and the employees hired by them found it hard to believe what was happening.

This morning, Gao Ruohan arrived at the office as usual. It was the off-season, so things weren’t particularly busy within the company. Furthermore, the Gao Family Company had long reached a bottleneck in its development, making it difficult to expand further. The company struggled to increase its market share and lacked cash flow, with too many accounts receivable remaining uncollected. As a result, it was also challenging for the company to scale up its production.

Gao Ruohan entered the office lobby, making coffee while casually chatting with the employees. A stylishly dressed female employee approached her and, with a gossiping tone, asked, "Ruohan-jie, I heard that your family is bringing Gao Weiwei back? The news is all over the company. When will she return? Will her joining affect us?"

Taking a sip of coffee, Gao Ruohan responded with a sneer, "Her, coming back? It's not that simple. Don't worry; she won't be able to return because she has to meet one of three conditions to be reemployed. And those three conditions, well, even I, the Sales Director, would find it almost impossible to fulfill them."

Hearing this, the female employee grew even more interested and eagerly asked, "Ruohan-jie, what are those three conditions? Tell us!"

The female employee's voice was loud enough to draw the attention of several other female employees in the office. Within moments, seven or eight female employees gathered around Gao Ruohan. Enjoying the attention, Gao Ruohan smiled smugly and said, "One condition is to recover the two million yuan owed by the Wang Family Company, another is to secure three new business partnerships, and the third is to solve a significant problem for the company. Tell me, which of these conditions is easy to fulfill?"

As soon as Gao Ruohan finished speaking, the female employees around her all pulled faces, recognizing the difficulty of these conditions. The female employee who initially asked shrugged and said, "Poor Gao Weiwei. It seems she won’t be coming back. Ruohan-jie, it's a pity about Gao Weiwei. She's your sister; if she were to flatter you a bit, you'd probably help her out. But that woman is just too foolish."

"Exactly, exactly! I heard that when she used to work here, she always kept people at arm's length," another female employee chimed in disdainfully. They were all subordinates of Gao Ruohan and well aware of her status in the Gao Family Company, so they kept showering her with flattery.

Gao Ruohan, enjoying the praise, smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, get back to work. There's no need to worry about Gao Weiwei; she won't be coming back."

Just as the seven or eight sycophantic female employees were about to disperse, the accountant from the finance office suddenly rushed out and said to Gao Ruohan, "Director Gao, the payment from the Wang Family has been received. They've paid 340,000 yuan, and they’ve even agreed to a new collaboration with us, making a 1 million yuan advance payment. Has the old chairman been informed? Should you tell him, or should I?"

"What? What did you say? The Wang Family's payment has been received?" Gao Ruohan was stunned, forgetting her coffee and staring incredulously at the accountant.

The accountant nodded, "Yes, I just confirmed it with their finance department. They said that Mr. Wang had already confirmed it with Gao Weiwei and reestablished a business relationship with us."

"Impossible! I'll go check!" Gao Ruohan's face darkened. She couldn’t believe it. Putting down her coffee, she rushed to the finance office to check the accounts. In her mind, it was impossible for Gao Weiwei to accomplish this task, especially since she had tried to recover the payment from Wang Biao before but couldn't even get a meeting. If she couldn't do it, how could Gao Weiwei possibly succeed?

But the next moment, when she saw the transaction in the company's account with her own eyes, she was completely dumbfounded. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed the company's account balance skyrocketing, with tens of thousands and even millions of yuan being credited one after another.

"What... what’s going on here?" Gao Ruohan pointed at the numbers on the account, shocked, and asked the accountant. The accountant looked at the numbers but was equally puzzled.

Just as the accountant was about to say something, the female employees who had previously been flattering Gao Ruohan burst into the office and anxiously said, "Director Gao, suddenly dozens of executives are here at our company with contracts, saying they want to discuss cooperation with us. Some of them said they've already made advance payments."

"What? Then why aren’t you welcoming them? Never mind, I’ll go myself. Quick, quick!" Although Gao Ruohan couldn’t understand why so many executives suddenly wanted to collaborate with the Gao Family, she didn’t dwell on it. All she could think about now was that she was about to hit it big. Once she signed those dozens of contracts, no one in the company would be able to challenge her position. The commissions and bonuses would be enormous.

With this in mind, Gao Ruohan couldn’t contain her excitement. As she hurried out, she adjusted her clothes, her smile growing wider. She personally went to the reception area and welcomed the executives holding contracts.

"Gentlemen, welcome, welcome! The Gao Family Company warmly welcomes your cooperation. Please come in," Gao Ruohan said, her face beaming as she ushered the executives inside.

The executives also smiled as they hurried in. Most of them didn’t know Gao Weiwei or Gao Ruohan, so the leading executives quickly approached her and said, "Miss Gao, we won’t take up much of your time. Let’s just sign the contracts first." They handed the contracts and a pen to Gao Ruohan.

After a quick glance at the contracts, Gao Ruohan found that the terms offered were exceptionally favorable, far exceeding her expectations. She quickly smiled and began signing her name on each contract, handing them back to the executives. The first few executives who finished signing were quickly pushed aside by those behind them, who eagerly presented their contracts for her signature.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"Please, gentlemen, don’t rush. One at a time, I have plenty of time. Take it easy," Gao Ruohan said, smiling and signing, unable to hide her glee. She felt on top of the world. The female employees behind her were equally excited, thinking about the bonuses they would earn from handling so many contracts. They too smiled broadly, serving tea and water to the executives surrounding Gao Ruohan.

But the next moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, and the previously enthusiastic executives immediately darkened their faces.

"Hold on! Why isn’t this contract signed by Gao Weiwei? Who is Gao Ruohan? We’re here to see Gao Weiwei! Where is she, Director Gao?"

As soon as the boss finished speaking, the dozen or so other bosses who had just signed agreements with Gao Ruohan and were waiting for them to be stamped also noticed the issue. The room instantly fell silent.

The bosses frowned and stared at Gao Ruohan, asking, "Who are you? Aren’t you Miss Gao Weiwei? President Gao?"

The smile on Gao Ruohan's face froze. Upon realizing that these bosses were here for Gao Weiwei, her anger flared. Annoyed, she responded, "Gentlemen, Gao Weiwei hasn’t even started working yet, and I, Gao Ruohan, am the Sales Director of the Gao family! Are you saying that as the Sales Director, I’m not qualified to sign contracts with you? Hm?"

As soon as Gao Ruohan's arrogant words fell, the room was stunned into silence. The group of bosses began to sneer disdainfully, looking at Gao Ruohan as if she were a fool.

One of the bosses tore up the freshly signed but unstamped contract right in front of her and said, "Huh, Sales Director? Who do you think you are?"

"Exactly! A mere Sales Director dares to talk to us like that? Did a donkey kick your brain?" Another boss ripped up his contract as well.

"You think you can compare to Miss Gao Weiwei? Take a look in the mirror—do you even measure up? Call Miss Gao Weiwei here immediately, or we won't sign the contracts!" Another boss added contemptuously.

Gao Ruohan's face turned pale, and she clenched her fists. Only then did she realize that these bosses were on par with her grandfather, Gao Yuanshan. Even Gao Yuanshan would be courteous when meeting them, let alone her. Listening to them praise Gao Weiwei only made her more furious, but at this moment, she didn't even dare to lift her head.

She was utterly humiliated. Just a moment ago, she thought these bosses had come for her, but now even the female employees who had been flattering her quickly distanced themselves, their expressions thoughtful, though equally shocked. These bosses were here for Gao Weiwei?

At that moment, one boss suddenly shouted, "Where's Gao Yuanshan! Get him out here! Does he think we're fools? I came here to sign a contract with Gao Weiwei, and he just sends some nobody to brush me off?"

"Exactly, get Gao Yuanshan out here! If you don’t give us an explanation today, see what happens!" shouted another boss who had been tricked by Gao Ruohan.

At that moment, an elderly figure stumbled out of the upstairs CEO office—it was a bewildered Gao Yuanshan. As soon as he came down, he hurriedly greeted the two leading bosses with a forced smile, "Oh, Mr. Yang, Mr. Bao, why didn’t you let me know you were coming? I wasn’t prepared for anything! Please, calm down. I truly don’t know what’s going on. How about this—I’ll host a banquet at Beijiang Grand Hotel later and personally apologize to everyone."

Mr. Yang, who was slightly older, snorted coldly and said, "Old Gao, let me tell you, we all came here today specifically to sign contracts with Miss Gao Weiwei. I imagine you wouldn’t refuse our cooperation, right? We’re all very sincere—we’ve even sent the advance payments. We were just waiting for Miss Gao Weiwei to sign the contracts, but who is this Gao Ruohan? Is she even qualified to sign with us? And how dare she speak to us so arrogantly? Who gave her that kind of nerve?"

At this point, Mr. Bao directly slapped the torn contract onto Gao Ruohan's face and angrily said to Gao Yuanshan, "Gao Yuanshan, we’ve known each other for a long time, and you’re treating me like a fool? You send one of your lower-level Sales Directors to lecture me? If you don’t want to cooperate, just say so!"

"Exactly! Did I step in dog crap this morning, letting a mere Sales Director slap me in the face?"

"Exactly, what the hell is this?"

"If it weren’t for Miss Gao Weiwei, I wouldn’t have bothered coming to this crappy company in the first place. What a joke!"

Listening to the bosses' angry roars, Gao Yuanshan, though unsure of all the details, understood part of it. The next moment, he turned around, his face dark, and shouted at Gao Ruohan, "What the hell have you done! I’ll deal with you later! Apologize to the bosses immediately! Hurry!"

Gao Ruohan was so frightened by Gao Yuanshan’s outburst that she shivered, and the next moment, she lowered her head, extremely aggrieved, tears almost falling as she said to the bosses, "I’m sorry, gentlemen, I was blind. I’m sorry."

The bosses snorted coldly, ignoring Gao Ruohan entirely, and instead turned their attention to Gao Yuanshan, waiting for him to give them an explanation.

Gao Yuanshan was furious. He didn’t know how Gao Weiwei managed to get so many bosses to come and sign contracts with the Gao family, but he knew that today was a big opportunity for him. And these contracts were almost ruined by Gao Ruohan! The thought enraged him, and he shouted at Gao Ruohan, "Look at what you've done! You almost ruined everything. From now on, you’re fired from your position as Sales Director. I don’t want to see you anymore. Get out! Get out!"

Gao Ruohan’s face turned even paler, and tears streamed down her face. But the next moment, Gao Yuanshan ignored her completely and led the bosses into the conference room.

In the conference room, Gao Yuanshan said, "I’m really sorry, my friends, but Weiwei hasn’t arrived yet. How about I sign the contracts myself? But I promise you all that these contracts will be credited to Gao Weiwei. How about that?"

Mr. Bao then said, "Alright, but let’s be clear, President Gao, after you sign these contracts, don’t turn around and deny it. We’re all here for Miss Gao Weiwei. From now on, any projects between our companies can only be handled by her. Is that okay?"

Gao Yuanshan quickly assured them, "Rest assured, my friends, I, Gao Yuanshan, would never do such a thing. I now officially appoint Gao Weiwei as our company’s Director of Channels, fully responsible for all collaborations between our companies!"

Hearing this, the bosses finally felt somewhat reassured. They hadn’t rested since being summoned by Long Jiu last night. Long Jiu was someone they couldn’t afford to offend, and from what they gathered, there seemed to be an even more terrifying figure behind Long Jiu. How terrifying must someone be to make a top figure like Long Jiu bow down? They didn’t dare to imagine.

After signing the contracts with Gao Yuanshan and leaving, Gao Yuanshan furrowed his brows deeply. He muttered to himself, "Gao Weiwei? Could someone be helping her behind the scenes? I need to investigate this thoroughly—something doesn’t feel right."
