Xue Yishan took out a stack of docunts and pushed it to Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, the leverage I am offering you is the entire marketing and sales departnt.”
Xue Yishan had been with the marketing and sales departnt for 15 years. He had the most experience among all the managent there. Even the departnt head had entered the company later than him.
How could the other managers, who had attained their positions by way of connections, compare to Xue Yishan, who had relied solely on his own capabilities and worked his way up from the bottom? Who else would know the inner workings of the departnt better than him?
All these years, despite appearing mild and steadfast, he was able to more than hold his own during managent discussions, even when up against the departnt head. This was the main reason why he was able to survive despite the machinations of his departnt head and the other managers.
With his help, Miss Wen would be able to take control of the marketing and sales departnt much more easily.
This leverage was the reason why he had dared to directly approach Miss Wen and offer this olive branch.
“Manager Xue is truly sincere.” Wen Xinya didn’t imdiately reach for the docunts. She just glanced at it nonchalantly and shifted her eyes away.
Actually, she really wished to make use of Xue Yishan’s power within the marketing and sales departnt, and so those docunts were of utmost importance to her. Nevertheless, she couldn’t display an overeagerness, or it would be a weakness that could be easily taken advantage of by others. It was like buying sothing at a shop. If the buyer showed an exceptional interest in an object, the seller would take advantage of that interest to raise the price.
Xue Yishan had so daringly offered such heavyweight leverage as he wanted to gain her regard and trust.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t give in to his wishes so easily. At the very least, she must let him know that to be allowed to join her faction, he must rein in his own ambitions and not make any fancy moves in front of her.
It was obvious that although Wen Xinya acknowledged the importance of those docunts, she did not appear too enthusiastic. This had an intelligent man like Xue Yishan on his toes. “Miss Wen, to tell you the truth, the current head of the marketing and sales departnt was personally brought in by CEO Wen. The other managers also rose to their positions by virtue of their relationship with so shareholders. Due to my own background, I don’t have anyone supporting and have had a hard ti in the marketing and sales departnt. That’s why I wish to offer my allegiance to Miss Wen.”
Offering his allegiance and all his leverage.
It was still not enough to move this missy, as she was truly an old hand at ploys and intrigues.
It was no secret that the Wen Family father and daughter did not get along. If Wen Xinya openly tried to interfere with the Wen Corporation, the conflict between father and daughter would officially co to light. If that happened, the first thing to be impacted would be the reputation of the Wen Family. Next would be the interests of the Wen Corporation, whereby internal strife might descend upon the core managent of the company, resulting in irreversible consequences.
That was why she had chosen to avoid a direct confrontation with Wen Haowen after joining the board. Instead, she had been secretly amassing power within the Wen Corporation, slowly taking over the company bit by bit. By the ti Wen Haowen realized what was happening, it would be too late for him.
A person who knew the importance of looking at the big picture, who knew how to keep a low profile and quietly plot her way, who knew how to conceal her strengths and bide her ti—this was soone worth pledging his allegiance to.
The only way to move her and beco part of her loyal faction was to reveal his own desperate circumstances. To let her see how much he would benefit from being on her side.
Wen Xinya was quite satisfied with Xue Yishan’s pleading attitude. “Manager Xue is a capable person. There’s no doubt you will be able to flourish in the Wen Corporation in the future.”
This was her promise.
A promise to support his ambitions.
Even without the leverage he was offering, Xue Yishan’s long experience, position, and capabilities as a marketing and sales manager were all worthy reasons for Wen Xinya to rope him in.
However, it was precisely because the leverage he was offering was so imnse that if she accepted it just like that, she would end up being the passive party in this cooperation. She was still relatively young and inexperienced, but she knew better than anyone just how easily the tide could turn against her.
She needed loyal subjects, not a partner who had no incentive to obey her commands.
Thus, she was naturally very satisfied that Xue Yishan had revealed his weakness and completely placed himself before her feet, expressing his willingness to be loyal to her.
Xue Yishan was indeed a smart man.
Xue Yishan smiled. “Then, I humbly accept your blessings and hope they co true!”
His eting with Wen Xinya today did not go exactly as he planned, but it was not too far off from his expectations. He knew so much about this young miss of the Wen Family that he had never once underestimated her.
After Xue Yishan left, Wen Xinya finally took up the docunts that he had left behind. She flipped through it before handing it over to Secretary Cao. “Xue Yishan’s leverage is bigger than expected. I never realized the ss that the marketing and sales departnt is in. Xue Yishan is certainly a dark horse.”
If not for Wen Haowen’s suppression, such a talented man would probably have attained much greater achievents by now.
Secretary Cao couldn’t help feeling shocked after looking through the docunts. “No wonder Xue Yishan dared to claim that his leverage is the entire marketing and sales departnt. He is not exaggerating at all.”
It was truly amazing that Xue Yishan managed to get ahold of all this information.
Wen Xinya brewed another pot of tea and poured a cup for Secretary Cao. “Uncle Cao, what do you think of Xue Yishan?”
Wen Xinya had been secretly amassing power within the Wen Corporation in recent years, and she truly needed capable and resourceful people like Xue Yishan to be under her. It must be said that Xue Yishan’s offer of allegiance ca at an opportune ti for her.
“Xue Yishan is a smart and sensible man. The fact that he chose this mont to offer his allegiance shows that he has been aware of your actions within Wen Corporation over the recent years. A person who is able to see the big picture like that is soone we should value. I am certain he will turn out to be a major force supporting you.” Secretary Cao was still rather guarded against people who actively reached out an olive branch to Wen Xinya. He had remained quiet the entire ti, silently observing Xue Yishan’s every move.
Nevertheless, he was quite satisfied with Xue Yishan at this point in ti.
Wen Xinya was rather shocked. This was the first ti she had heard Secretary Cao offer such a high appraisal of soone. “Xue Yishan is indeed an undeniably talented person. He is ambitious, astute, shrewd, vigilant and patient enough to wait for the right opportunity. Most importantly, he is also loyal.”
Devotion and loyalty were indeed two of Xue Yishan’s best attributes, and these were the exact two qualities that had truly moved Wen Xinya.
