My Ares Son-in-Law

Shen Yingying started making empty promises to Jiang Xuanxuan; it has to be said, she's a professional at this.

"Of course, I also need to make it clear to you that the sales department works much harder than the human resources department. They have to travel frequently to develop business, deal with all kinds of clients, and face a lot of pressure to meet performance targets. It's not as easy as the human resources department. I won't force you to do this. You should think it over carefully yourself."

Now that things have come to this point, even if Jiang Xuanxuan is naive, she should understand that Shen Yingying intends to give her an important position and transfer her to the sales department in preparation for future promotions and raises.

If she didn't agree to this, it would not only be stupid, but also a complete disrespect to her superiors, which is not Jiang Xuanxuan's style.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Xuanxuan no longer hesitated. "President Shen, I'll go! I'm willing to be transferred to the sales department!"

Jiang Xuanxuan has never been the kind of person who is content with the status quo or craves comfort.

I gave up everything in my hometown and came to the unfamiliar western region to work hard to join Dansheng Group, all to prove my abilities and to have better career prospects.

Although there was also the idea of ​​helping the family achieve its goals, that was secondary.

She wanted to achieve personal success, and now, with such a great opportunity presented to her—to enter the company's core department and have greater room for development—she had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Jiang Xuanxuan agreed, Shen Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief, having accomplished what her boss asked. "Okay, it's settled then. You'll report to the sales department starting next week. In the next few days, hand over your personnel work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Okay, Mr. Shen! Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down!"

Jiang Xuanxuan stood up, her voice filled with excitement.

How could she not be excited? This is the sales department of Dansheng Group! And she's a manager! Her future is bright.

As for finding the owner of Dansheng Group, he was so excited that he completely forgot about it for a moment.

The moment Jiang Xuanxuan stepped out of Shen Yingying's office, she called her best friend Zhou Keying. Of course, she wanted to share the happy news.

"Keying! Keying! I have great news to tell you! Huge, wonderful news!"

Jiang Xuanxuan was genuinely happy; her voice was filled with excitement.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Keying didn't seem happy; in fact, she sounded a little tired: "What good news? I just finished something here and I'm a bit tired."

"I've been transferred to the sales department as manager!"

Jiang Xuanxuan didn't notice that Zhou Keying was acting strangely. She was too happy at the moment and had lost her senses. She kept showing off, "It was arranged by President Shen personally. She said that I have the right major and strong abilities. She said that I have a better future in marketing than in human resources. She also said that as long as I work hard, I will have the opportunity to be promoted to director or vice president in the future!"

"Really? That's great! Xuanxuan, congratulations!" Although Zhou Keying was in a bad mood and a little tired, she was genuinely happy for her good friend Jiang Xuanxuan. "This is indeed a great opportunity for you. You are good at marketing, so you will definitely do well."

Jiang Xuanxuan finally noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Keying. "Keying, why does your voice sound so hoarse? Have you been working overtime again? Have you been dealing with a lot of things on the project these past few days?"

“Yeah,” Zhou Keying smiled wryly, “These past few days have been packed with project work. I’ve been working non-stop for several days, only getting three or four hours of sleep a day. I’m starting to feel the strain.”

"Then you should go home and rest early tonight, don't push yourself too hard!"

Jiang Xuanxuan quickly reminded her, "Work is never-ending, but your health is the most important thing. Don't ruin your life."

"Yes, I know. It'll be fine once this busy period is over." Zhou Keying forced a smile. She knew she'd been working too hard lately, and she didn't want to ruin her health. Jiang Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment. She had originally wanted to invite Zhou Keying out for a celebratory meal, but seeing how tired Zhou Keying was, she couldn't bear to bother her any longer, so she said:
"Then I won't make plans with you tonight. Let's get together again after you're done with this busy period, and I'll treat you to dinner then!"

“Okay,” Zhou Keying smiled, her tone softening considerably. “I’ll treat you another day, as a way of celebrating your promotion.”

"A word is settled!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xuanxuan stood at the entrance of the Dansheng Group building, looking at her phone screen, a strange sense of loss rising in her heart.

Such great news, such a joyous occasion, yet there's no one around to share it with her and share her happiness.

The Dong family members were far away in their hometown, and here, she was ultimately all alone.

Just as she was about to put her phone away, the screen suddenly lit up, and the caller ID clearly showed the name "Zhou Hao".

Jiang Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, her smile instantly froze, and her eyes were full of doubt. Zhou Hao?

Why would he call her?

They had absolutely no connection whatsoever. Their only meeting was at Eighth Master's Private Kitchen, where Zhou Hao was publicly humiliated by Xiao Chen, leaving him in a very embarrassing situation.

She hesitated for a second, pondering Zhou Hao's intention in calling, before finally pressing the answer button and speaking calmly, "Hello?"

"Ms. Jiang, congratulations!"

On the other end of the phone came Zhou Hao's gentle laughter, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate flattery, "I heard you got promoted?"
"Sales Department Marketing Manager, very good, young and promising, congratulations!"

Jiang Xuanxuan frowned slightly, her doubts deepening.

She couldn't help but be confused, after all, she had just spoken with Shen Yingying and had only known about this matter for a few minutes.

Even the company's HR department probably doesn't know, so how did Zhou Hao find out? Something's not right.

"Young Master Zhou, how did you know I got promoted?" Jiang Xuanxuan asked cautiously.

Zhou Hao smiled, somewhat smugly: "Miss Jiang, have you forgotten? The provincial capital is only so big, and the social circle is only so small. What kind of trouble could possibly escape the notice of the Zhou family? Besides, I've always been paying close attention to you, so naturally I'll keep a closer eye on your affairs."

Of course, he wouldn't tell the truth. He had a friend in the Dansheng Group, and it just so happened that this friend overheard Jiang Xuanxuan's phone call with Zhou Keying, which is how he found out about everything.

He needed to be a bit mysterious. "By the way, Miss Jiang, how about we go out for dinner tonight? It's my treat. Consider it a celebration of your promotion, and also a chance for us to formally get to know each other and become friends."

Jiang Xuanxuan had absolutely no interest in Zhou Hao's invitation, so she simply refused.

Zhou Hao seemed to have noticed this and hurriedly said, "Don't rush to say no, Miss Jiang. I've made a reservation at the Emperor Hotel, at that Michelin three-star French restaurant you've always wanted to go to. I specially reserved a window seat for you and ordered your favorite foie gras and black truffle pasta, paired with a Burgundy Pinot Noir."

Jiang Xuanxuan swallowed back the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue.

She had indeed been craving the foie gras from that Michelin three-star French restaurant; its rich flavor and renowned reputation made it incredibly difficult to book a table. She had tried before, but the waiting list stretched three months into the future, making it impossible to secure a reservation. (End of Chapter)
