Chapter 680 Who Decides?
“Those people are all opportunists; it’s clear now that the manager’s position is definitely going to be his.”

"And another thing, I'm not criticizing you, but you also need to network with the people at the top. You know, I heard that Wang Xiaoyun went to see General Manager Wan yesterday."

Qin Tongtong turned her head in confusion and asked, "What do you mean? You mean he went to give gifts to President Wan as a bribe?"

"Keep your voice down, don't be so blunt. But even if it wasn't bribery, he definitely went there to try and get more opportunities for himself."

Qin Tongtong didn't quite believe that President Wan was that kind of person.

"Probably not, they were probably just talking about work!"

“I told you, but you didn’t believe me. Someone passed by the office and overheard them talking about it. Someone as shrewd as Wang Xiaoyun wouldn’t miss this opportunity.”

Xiao Mei naturally hoped that Qin Tongtong could become the manager, so that her life would be much easier in the future.

She and Qin Tongtong had always had a very good relationship, and because of this, Wang Xiaoyun targeted them both.

If Wang Xiaoyun really takes over, then their lives will be very difficult.

"Don't say that. I don't think President Wan is that kind of person. Besides, the new boss decides who will be chosen, not him."

Xiao Mei looked at him with exasperation: "Why are you so stubborn? Even though it wasn't President Wan who made the decision, does the new boss know anything about our company? Of course not."

"Then the only way he can understand the company is through President Wan. If President Wan praises Qin Tongtong and Wang Xiaoyun a few more times, it will definitely influence the new boss's decision."

Xiao Mei even felt that the reason she hadn't chosen a manager yet was because she wanted to wait and see for a while longer.

Therefore, during this period, Mr. Wan's opinion became particularly important.

"Don't be so aloof. I urge you to go and talk to General Manager Wan. If you don't go now, you'll miss your chance. Just think, what will we do after he becomes a manager!"

Xiao Mei's professional skills are not as good as Qin Tongtong's, and she has always maintained a stable position in the company. She doesn't expect a promotion or a raise; she just hopes to keep her current position and not be laid off.

But if Wang Xiaoyun takes over, things could get complicated; he could find any opportunity to make things difficult for her.

"Forget it, let me think about it some more. Let's focus on our work first and not bring up things that aren't settled yet."

A morning passed, and wherever Qin Tongtong and her friends went, they heard people praising Wang Xiaoyun, complimenting him from head to toe. Qin Tongtong suddenly felt a headache coming on; how could these people say such things?

A newly arrived intern handed a document to Wang Xiaoyun.

"Sister Wang, I heard you're going to be our next general manager, is that true?"

"Where did you hear that? Don't talk nonsense. Let me tell you, the candidate hasn't been decided yet." Wang Xiaoyun said this, but her face was still smiling.

"I've heard everyone say that you'll definitely be the next general manager! I think so too."

"The company has so many talented people, and Qin Tongtong is quite capable, so maybe it's her," Wang Xiaoyun said hypocritically.

"Of course not! She's not as experienced as you. You should definitely be chosen as the general manager!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyun felt even more confident. Whether the boss personally selected the general manager or everyone voted, the position was definitely his.

"Alright, alright, get back to work!"

After this day, Wang Xiaoyun was flattered by everyone and even felt that she was sure she could get the position of general manager.

He had already started fantasizing that when he moved to a bigger office, the first thing he would do was lay off Qin Tongtong and Xiao Mei.

Even if you can't do that right away, you should still find fault with them at work and encourage them to resign voluntarily.

Only by eliminating these two thorns in his side can he work with peace of mind at the company. Besides, Qin Tongtong is too capable; she will definitely surpass him before long.

Only when she's gone can he secure his position.

Thinking about this, he couldn't concentrate on his work all day, lost in his own fantasies. Meanwhile, Qin Tongtong was diligently working on her tasks.

After get off work, Qin Tongtong stopped by the clinic to pick up Wang Yang. She had been very busy lately and hadn't been to the clinic in a long time.

"Why are you here? Why are you off work so early today?" Wang Yang had just finished acupuncture on a patient and was about to go downstairs.

"I hadn't been to the clinic in a while, so I came to check on things. I got off work early today, so I picked you up on the way."

Wang Yang smiled and took off his gloves: "I'm not too busy today, let's go home together!"

He had a feeling that Qin Tongtong had come to see him today for something else.

Wang Lan had told everyone beforehand that she was having dinner at a friend's house and wouldn't be coming back, so only Wang Yang and Qin Tongtong were left at the table.

"What's wrong? You look so troubled. Are you worried about something at work again?"

Wang Yang regretted it a little. If he had known earlier that this matter would cause Qin Tongtong so much distress, he should have announced it directly long ago, instead of waiting until his birthday.

If I could tell her this good news on her birthday, it would definitely surprise her even more.

"Xiaomei told me something today. She said that Wang Xiaoyun from our company went to give a gift to President Wan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang put down his chopsticks.

"Go and give a gift to President Wan? Are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard he spent a long time in Mr. Wan's office, and the two of them seemed to be talking about this. I guess he wanted Mr. Wan to put in a good word for him with the big boss."

Wang Yang smiled and shook his head: "Alright, I don't think so. The general manager is chosen by your big boss, it has nothing to do with President Wan, and the big boss won't take his opinion into consideration."

"That's not necessarily true. Why do you think the big boss insisted on telling us that he would only announce it next month? It's because he wanted to observe the situation."

Wang Yang was truly at a loss for words. He just wanted to give Qin Tongtong a surprise, otherwise why would he choose his own birthday?
"By the way, wasn't the day the general manager was announced your birthday?"

"Yes, I'd rather not choose this day. I want to have a happy birthday!"

Qin Tongtong said with a worried look, "If the general manager is really me, then it's understandable. But if it's not me, then this birthday is too frustrating."

"Don't overthink it, don't worry..."

Qin Tongtong interrupted him anxiously: "Xiao Mei also suggested that I go see President Wan. Do you think I should go?"

"So what do you think?"

"I'm really torn and can't make up my mind, that's why I asked you. I didn't want to go in the first place, I've never liked doing this kind of thing, but I'm afraid that if Wang Xiaoyun really becomes the manager, I won't have a good life."

Wang Yang didn't expect Qin Tongtong to take this matter so seriously. In his opinion, even if Wang Xiaoyun became the manager, Qin Tongtong wouldn't be greatly affected.

"I don't think Wan Qiang is that kind of person. Didn't you always say he was very fair and upright?"

"Yes, but Xiaomei and the others are talking so convincingly now. What if Wan Qiang really accepts Wang Xiaoyun's gift and then speaks well of him to the big boss?"

Qin Tongtong repeated these words several times. She was now hesitant and considering whether or not to go to Wan Qiang.

“Honey, I don’t think you should go. Since you’re convinced that Wan Qiang is an upright person, Wang Xiaoyun’s attempt to take a shortcut to curry favor with him might backfire.” Hearing Wang Yang’s words, Qin Tongtong felt that he made sense. President Wan had been with the company for so many years; he shouldn’t be someone who was easily bribed.

"He probably also finds Wang Xiaoyun's behavior particularly offensive, but he just hasn't shown it yet."

"Alright then, I won't go. I've always hated this kind of thing, but they've been pushing me to go."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "So, quite a few people in your company think you should take this position?"

"It's only a small portion. Some of them might be colleagues I'm close to, but I don't know about colleagues I'm not so familiar with!"

Qin Tongtong wasn't really sure either; she only knew that after arriving at the company, everyone seemed to be quite accommodating to Wang Xiaoyun.

"It's okay, that just means you still have a chance to get the position. Okay, stop thinking too much, you should think about how to celebrate your birthday."

Qin Tongtong shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, let's not think about it now. We'll just find a place to have dinner with everyone that night."

"That won't do. Mom told me yesterday that your birthday is a big deal!"

Qin Tongtong pouted. She knew that her mother just wanted to take this opportunity to gather all the relatives and friends together and show off that she had a good son-in-law.

It could be said that the main character that day was not her, but Wang Yang. However, she did not object to it, but it just happened to coincide with company matters, which made her a little uncomfortable.

"Don't think about it. Mom is rarely happy, so let's not spoil her mood."

"okay, I get it!"

……

Time flies, and it's already the 15th of next month. When Qin Tongtong woke up in the morning, she found that Wang Yang was not in the room.

When she went downstairs, she saw Wang Lan and Wang Yang busy in the kitchen.

Why are you all up so early?

"Get up! Today is your birthday. Happy birthday, and may all your wishes come true!" Wang Yang said casually.

"Thank you, but why are you smiling so brightly when you wish me a happy birthday?"

Wang Yang smiled at her again, but didn't say anything. Qin Tongtong would receive a huge gift today, but he planned to keep it a secret for now.

"By the way, Tongtong, come back early tonight. We've booked several tables at the hotel for 7 pm!"

"Mom, don't spend so much money, we can't possibly have that many people."

Wang Lan served the noodles: "You silly child, how can you say that? Things are different now than before. Before, you would invite a few close friends for your birthday, and that would be enough for one table. But things are different now."

Qin Tongtong smiled helplessly. She knew what her mother meant by "different". Now that the family was better off, there were many relatives who wanted to curry favor with them.

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely be back early tonight."

She had originally planned to find a quiet place to stay by herself once the general manager was announced today.

If the general manager really is Wang Xiaoyun, then her career may be in jeopardy.

She needs to think carefully about whether to stay at this company and fight him, or to find a new company.
She has been looking at job postings from other companies online for the past two days, but hasn't found a suitable one yet.

She even thought that if she really couldn't find one, she would ask Xiaoxue and Xiaomi for help. Maybe with their help, she could find a decent job.

Today is her birthday, and Qin Tongtong doesn't want to spoil everyone's fun.

"Tongtong, come here quickly, Mom has cooked longevity noodles for you. I hope you stay healthy!"

"thanks Mom!"

Wang Yang stayed with Qin Tongtong until she finished breakfast, and then took her to work.

"Don't look so gloomy the whole way. It's your birthday today, cheer up!"

"I want to be happy, but I can't. The selection will be announced at the company soon, what am I going to do!"

Wang Yang smiled and patted her head: "You don't need to worry so much. Are you really that sure you won't be the general manager?"

"I think there's an 80% chance it's Wang Xiaoyun, and only a 20% chance it's me. I really have no idea."

Qin Tongtong spoke with a worried expression. Wang Yang had originally planned to announce the news that evening, but seeing her like this, it seemed he would have to do it earlier.

He couldn't bear to see Qin Tongtong unhappy on her birthday.

As soon as Qin Tongtong arrived at the company, everyone started gossiping. She saw that Wang Xiaoyun's desk was piled high with gifts, which she guessed were from people trying to curry favor with him.

As soon as I sat down, Xiaomei came over.

"Let me tell you, all I heard in the bathroom today was news that he's going to be the general manager."

"Has it already been announced? Why is everyone so excited?" Qin Tongtong rolled her eyes.

"I mean, the candidate hasn't even been announced yet, and they're already rushing to curry favor with him. What if it's not him?!"

As it turned out, a colleague overheard this and came over as well.

"Qin Tongtong, don't be too sad. Although you're not the general manager this time, you're still an outstanding talent in the company, and you'll definitely be promoted in the future."

This colleague thought Qin Tongtong was sad because she couldn't become the general manager.

"Sister Zhang, but the list hasn't been released yet, how can you be sure he's the general manager!"

Sister Zhang quietly leaned closer and said, "Let me tell you, he's been spending a lot of time with Boss Wan these past few days!"

"They frequently went in and out of his office, and I heard that they were talking about this. Think about it, if Boss Wan says a few good words to the new boss, wouldn't that position be his? And when they went to give gifts, Wang Xiaoyun didn't refuse."

If the person in question didn't refuse, it means he felt the position was already his, and perhaps he was already confident of winning.

"This is so against the rules! Doesn't our company always advocate fairness and impartiality?"

"That's how it used to be, but I don't know what the new boss is thinking; he hasn't even shown his face yet!"

As we were talking, the colleague sitting by the door suddenly shouted.

"My God! Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses!"

"Such a huge cake!"

The group looked out the door and saw that Wang Yang had pushed in a birthday cake and was also holding 999 roses.

Qin Tongtong's face turned red instantly. She hadn't expected Wang Yang to do something like this, when he had just said he was going to the clinic by himself.
