Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 679: Adjust to the wind
"Qin Tongtong used to dislike talking to you about work, since you probably wouldn't understand even if she did. Now she probably has even less time to talk to you," Xiaoting said sarcastically from the side.

"By the way, you didn't forget Qin Tongtong's birthday, did you?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten. I'm still thinking about what birthday present to give her in two weeks."

Xiaoting teased, "You've already bought her a luxury car, let her live in a big villa, and you're so good at making money. This is already the best birthday gift for her."

"How can that be the same? I owe her these things. She's so well-off, yet she was willing to be with me before."

Xiaoting knew that Wang Yang was at least self-aware. She and her friends had said a lot about him before, but he never talked back or got angry.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You have so many patients waiting downstairs, I won't bother you any longer!"

After seeing Xiaoting off, Wang Yang rested in his office for a while, pondering what gift he should give Qin Tongtong for her birthday.

He had previously planned to tell Qin Tongtong directly that the company had bought the property specifically for her, which he considered the best gift for her.

But Xiaoting just told him that Qin Tongtong has a major nemesis at work.

Qin Tongtong had never specifically mentioned this to him before; he had only overheard her mention it by chance while chatting with her mother.

It seems I need to think about this birthday gift more carefully; simply telling Qin Tongtong directly might not be enough.

The next day, Wang Yang invited Wan Qiang to a coffee shop.

"Boss, what new instructions are there this time?"

Every time Wan Qiang looked so serious, Wang Yang couldn't help but chuckle, but he knew that this was just Wan Qiang's style.

"Don't be so serious, let's just chat casually today. I've been thinking that the position of general manager of the company has been vacant for so long, it's time to choose a suitable person."

Wan Qiang nodded: "Boss, do you have a suitable candidate in mind? Or should I give you the company's personnel list so you can take a good look?"

"No need, I already have someone in mind. I'll send you a message on the 15th, and you can just announce it then."

Wan Qiang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't. Actually, he wanted to ask Wang Yang who his preferred candidate was.

He had never been to the company and didn't know much about the people there. He couldn't think of any suitable candidates, but since Wang Yang was the real boss, he didn't dare to ask too many questions.

Seeing Wan Qiang's hesitant expression, Wang Yang guessed what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I will never randomly choose someone. Although I have never been to the company, I know the company's situation very well, you have to trust me."

Hearing this, Wan Qiang felt ashamed that he had actually doubted Wang Yang.

"I'm sorry, boss. The main thing is that I think you haven't been to the company, so you might not know those people. Some of them might just be good at putting on a good show."

His biggest worry was that Wang Yang practiced nepotism, just like his previous boss, who ended up bankrupting the company.

"Don't worry, I've chosen only capable people. I know who's in the company, and I'll tell you directly when the time comes."

"Okay, boss. Should I tell the employees this now?"

Wang Yang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Tell them when you get back, but the time is still set for the morning of the 15th of next month. I will notify you on time."

After discussing the relevant matters, Wang Yang returned to the clinic.

"Old Wang, did anything happen at the clinic today?"

"No, everything is normal at the clinic today. You can go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll take care of things here, don't worry!"

Wang Yang nodded: "Okay, if you're not busy later, close up shop early. I'll head back now."

Qin Tongtong was originally planning to pack her things and go home after get off work. She figured Wang Yang would be home early today, but she was surprised to receive a notice that she had to attend an emergency meeting.

When we arrived at the meeting room, everyone was having a lively discussion.

"Could it be that the new boss is going to show up today? It's been so long, he should come out and meet everyone by now!"

"I think it's unlikely. If a new boss is coming, he would definitely notify us in advance so we can prepare to welcome him. Why would he launch such a surprise attack?"

"Maybe they're about to announce some big news, everyone stop arguing!" The speaker was Wang Xiaoyun, Qin Tongtong's arch-rival.

Wang Xiaoyun had been with the company longer than Qin Tongtong, and although they held similar positions, he relied on his seniority to act as the person in charge whenever Wan Qiang was absent.

In fact, Wan Qiang never explicitly told him to do this, but he took the job on his own.

After a while, Wan Qiang arrived.

"I'm sorry to have you all staying behind today, but the new boss has given me an important task. The position of manager in our company has been vacant for a while."

He paused here, observing the reactions of the others.

Everyone seemed exceptionally excited upon hearing this.

They had previously speculated that the new boss would announce the manager after taking office, and many people thought that the candidate would be Wang Xiaoyun.

After all, besides Wan Qiang, Wang Xiaoyun is the most senior employee in the company. Qin Tongtong is also quite capable; she even successfully secured a big project last time. However, she has only been with the company for a short time and lacks experience.

Therefore, most people tend to think that Wang Xiaoyun will become the manager, although some people think that Qin Tongtong should be the manager.

Qin Tongtong's disadvantage lies in her lack of experience; she joined the company a few years later than Wang Xiaoyun. However, she is more composed and kinder in her interactions with others.

"However, I don't know who the new manager will be yet; we'll have to wait for the new boss to announce it on the 15th of next month."

Upon hearing "the 15th of next month," Qin Tongtong subconsciously frowned. Wasn't that her birthday? How could it be such a coincidence?
She had originally planned to have a proper birthday celebration this year, since Wang Yang had made a lot of money and she intended to treat everyone to a nice meal, especially her family, so her mother could have a good time. But she never expected this to happen today.

She also figured in her heart that she probably wouldn't be the new general manager. After all, she was still young, and Wang Xiaoyun was much more experienced than her.

But she still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that maybe the boss would give her the chance.

"I have already announced the important matter. It doesn't matter who you think is more suitable. The key is to see the result on the 15th of next month."

"I also want to remind everyone to work hard during this period so that your new boss can see your results."

"Alright, everyone, go home from get off work!" ...

After getting home from get off work, Qin Tongtong sat sullenly at the dinner table. Wang Yang casually asked:
"Did you run into any problems at work today? You looked listless when you came back."

Wang Lan chimed in, "Yeah, why haven't you said a word during the meal today? Did something happen?"

"Didn't we get a new boss? He hasn't shown up at all. Today, Mr. Wan told us that we need to choose a new manager."

"Isn't this a good thing? Maybe you'll be the one chosen!" Wang Lan had a lot of confidence in her daughter's abilities.

"How could that be? There are other people in the company besides me, especially Wang Xiaoyun. He joined the company earlier than me and is quite capable. I guess it's him."

"It's okay, even if it's him, there will be other opportunities in the future, and you are much younger than him."

Qin Tongtong shook her head listlessly: "You're all thinking too simply. Everyone knows that Wang Xiaoyun has been at odds with me since I joined the company. If she becomes the general manager, I basically won't be able to stay in this company anymore."

She had originally planned to work hard in the future so that she could be worthy of Wang Yang, but now it seems that she might really have to rely on Wang Yang to support her for a while.

Wang Yang raised an eyebrow. It turned out he hadn't guessed wrong; Wang Xiaoyun and Qin Tongtong were indeed mortal enemies.

"Don't be so discouraged. The selection hasn't been made yet. Maybe it'll be you!" Wang Yang comforted her with a smile.

"Only you would be so optimistic. Everyone in the company thinks it's him. He's probably already receiving a ton of gifts."

Having worked for so many years, she's quite familiar with the rules of the workplace. If Wang Xiaoyun were to rise to power, those people would definitely fawn over him.

"Qin Tongtong, don't think so much. Anyway, Wang Yang is making money for our family now, so we don't expect you to earn much back."

Hearing Wang Lan say that, Qin Tongtong felt even more agitated and uneasy.

"Mom, please don't say that. I'm an independent woman and I don't want to rely on a man for the rest of my life. It's his skill to earn money and provide us with a better life; he feels he has the responsibility and ability to do so. But I can't become a burden to him!"

Hearing Qin Tongtong say this, Wang Yang felt extremely gratified. He felt incredibly lucky to have married such an outstanding wife.

"Honey, don't worry. As long as you're happy every day, that's all that matters. Trust me, the company manager might not be him. See, every time I comforted you before, it always came true, didn't it?"

When Wang Yang said that, Qin Tongtong felt a glimmer of hope again. After all, every time Wang Yang comforted her before, the result was almost the same as what he said.

However, the previous times were different; Wang Yang had actually done a lot of things for her behind the scenes, but this time it definitely wouldn't work.

Unless Wang Yang knows the new boss.

"Wang Yang, tell me the truth, do you know our new boss?"

Wang Yang's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Qin Tongtong to ask him that.

"Of course I don't know him. If I did, I would have told you right away."

"If you don't know him, don't say things like that. Forget it, I don't even aspire to be a manager anymore, I just hope to stay at the company a little longer!"

After saying that, Qin Tongtong felt she had lost her appetite and went upstairs to her room to rest.

Only Wang Yang and Wang Lan remained at the dinner table.

"Why is she working so hard? Her family is so well-off now. She should just go to work peacefully. What's so great about being a manager?"

Wang Yang chuckled. He knew his mother-in-law was worried that Qin Tongtong would be too tired after being promoted to a higher position, since she was just an ordinary employee and was already working so hard.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm a doctor. No matter how tired Qin Tongtong is, I have a way to help her take care of her health and won't let her have any health problems."

"Whether Qin Tongtong is elected or not this time, it won't have much impact."

Wang Lan nodded, then added, "I still hope Qin Tongtong can be elected."

"You don't know, she's been the class monitor since elementary school, and she held important positions in college. I can't even remember all those random titles."

She has always been very proud of her daughter Qin Tongtong, who has always been an excellent student and never caused her any worry.

“I know she has always wanted to get a good position at work, but as you know, you can’t do without connections in the workplace. She has been intentionally or unintentionally suppressed since she joined the company.”

Hearing this, Wang Yang frowned. He had never known these things before. He had only noticed that Qin Tongtong was always unhappy when she came home from get off work and seemed particularly tired every day. He himself had never worked and assumed that this was the norm for jobs.

"Her lifelong wish has been to climb the ladder and showcase her talents. This time she finally has a chance, but I think the hope is very slim."

At this point, Wang Yang felt somewhat guilty. If he had known these circumstances earlier, he certainly wouldn't have delayed until now. From the day he bought the company, he should have directly given this position to Qin Tongtong.

"Mom, don't worry, I will make sure you both live a good life. If Qin Tongtong wants to do anything, I will help her achieve it."

Wang Lan smiled with relief; she didn't take Wang Yang's words too seriously.

She knew that although Wang Yang knew several big bosses, Qin Tongtong's company probably had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't get involved. As long as they could live a life free from financial worries, she was already very content.

The next day, as soon as Qin Tongtong arrived at the company, she heard many people gossiping behind her back.

"Doesn't this mean the manager has already been decided internally?"

"But I still feel a bit of suspense, what if it's not true?"

"Someone must have gotten inside information, otherwise look at how many gifts Team Leader Wang received!"

Hearing these words, Qin Tongtong left without looking back. When she returned to her workstation, Xiao Mei quietly approached her.

"Qin Tongtong, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you need to take action too. Look at other people."

She gestured with her eyes to Wang Xiaoyun, who was sitting in the distance, enjoying the limelight and receiving praise from others.

"What's up with him?"

"Do you know that everyone thinks he's going to be the manager, so they're all trying to curry favor with him? I heard that last night, more than twenty colleagues went to his house to give him gifts."

Qin Tongtong was surprised for a moment. She knew that these people in the company were good at interpersonal relationships and knew how to change their tune with the wind, but she did not expect them to be so proactive.

"The selection hasn't been finalized yet, so why are they being so proactive? Aren't they afraid of choosing the wrong side?"
