"Look!" he said, handing over the document.

Yu Huanshui was stunned, wondering if he was dreaming. He took the document in a daze and saw that it was real. He had been appointed as the company's sales manager.

Yu Huanshui looked at the appointment letter with a blank expression, then glanced at Wei Guangjun, still unable to believe it, and said, "President Wei, this...this is real."

Wei Guangjun laughed heartily, "Of course it's true. I personally applied to the group, how could it be fake?"

Yu Huanshui asked with a puzzled look, "Why? My performance wasn't good either, and I missed so many days."

Wei Guangjun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Lao Yu, don't underestimate yourself. Think about it, in terms of seniority, how many people in the company can compare to you? Wu Antong, the top salesman, was once your apprentice. Whoever is more suitable than you should be promoted."

"Besides, chasing sales targets is the job of the sales staff; the sales manager is responsible for the overall direction. Moreover, although your sales performance isn't great, you can train top sales performers. Aren't you the best candidate to be the sales manager?"

Yu Huanshui thought about it and realized it made some sense. But then he thought again, "What a load of rubbish! With his performance, forget about promotion, he'd be lucky if he wasn't fired." Suddenly, Li Mu's words from yesterday popped into his head. Could it be that Brother Li pulled some strings? Otherwise, how could he have become the sales manager?

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. Brother Li had now become a benefactor in his life.

Thinking about this, Yu Huanshui felt much more at ease and finally believed that he had really become a sales manager.

Yu Huanshui said, "Thank you, President Wei."

Wei Guangjun waved his hand: "No need to thank me. We'll be working together in the future. This is just a small gift from me. I don't know if you'll like it."

Yu Huanshui felt increasingly confused, then realized that this must be something he was saying to Li Ge, who was behind him. Perhaps President Wei had something to ask Li Ge for help, and the person was giving Li Ge face, not him.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. I really like it. Is there something you need?"

Wei Guangjun smiled and said, "There is something I need to do, but there's no rush. You can be the manager for now, and we'll have plenty of time to talk later."

Yu Huanshui hesitated for a moment, then bluntly said, "President Wei, actually... I can't help you much. You should go directly to Brother Li. I'll listen to Brother Li."

Wei Guangjun was stunned. Wasn't it Yu Huanshui who took the USB drive? How come there's another Brother Li? Could it be that someone is behind Yu Huanshui, and that person is the one who got the USB drive and is sending threatening text messages to them?

The more Wei Guangjun thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Yu Huanshui's reaction was a bit strange, as if he knew nothing about the USB drive or what was on it.

Wei Guangjun suppressed his surprise and put on an air of complete control: "Brother Li? Did Brother Li say anything to you? Or try to say anything to us?"

Yu Huanshui thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li told me to tell you that I'm working for him, and that you can contact him directly if you need anything. I don't know much else, so how about I contact Brother Li for you?"

Wei Guangjun's heart sank. He knew things were bad. The other party must already know about the accounts on the USB drive, and might even have gotten wind of it beforehand, obtaining the USB drive through Yu Huanshui. The thought was terrifying; someone had been watching them for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, he put on a calm demeanor and said, "Brother Huanshui, there's no need to trouble you. Could you give me Brother Li's contact information? We can contact him ourselves. Some things can be resolved privately; harmony brings wealth."

Seeing Wei Guangjun's reaction, Yu Huanshui felt relieved, thinking to himself, "Just as I expected." General Manager Wei must have some leverage over Brother Li, or something he needs from Brother Li, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite, much less promote him to the position of sales manager. This is all an attempt to curry favor with Brother Li.

Yu Huanshui felt completely at ease, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "President Wei is right, harmony brings wealth. I'll give you Brother Li's contact information now. If needed, I can arrange a meeting for you directly."

Wei Guangjun immediately became more enthusiastic: "Old Yu, not bad, I made the right decision to promote you. But let's contact each other privately first. If needed, I will definitely ask you to help me make an appointment."

He then patted Yu Huanshui on the shoulder and said, "Huanshui, do a good job. I believe in you."

……

Soon, the news of Yu Huanshui's appointment as sales manager spread, causing an uproar throughout Hongqiang Cable Company. No one had expected that Yu Huanshui would become the sales manager.

However, as Yu Huanshui moved into the sales manager's office, everyone was speechless. Wu Antong, who had just had a conflict with Yu Huanshui, felt the most awkward and guilty at this moment.

Soon, the thick skin and silver tongue honed by her experience as a top salesperson came into play.

Having moved into his bright and clean private office, Yu Huanshui felt very happy, like a serf who had been liberated and was now singing a song of liberation. Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Who is it? Come in."

Wu Antong cautiously walked in: "Master... no... manager... I'd like some coffee."

Looking at Wu Antong's expression, Yu Huanshui felt very happy and no longer cared about what had just happened.

"Let's call him Master."

Wu Antong immediately perked up: "Master, I'm sorry, I..."

Yu Huanshui waved his hand magnanimously: "It's nothing, it's all in the past."

Wu Antong immediately smiled and said, "Master is so magnanimous. You were the one who brought me into the company. Now you've been promoted to sales manager. You'll have to look after me from now on."

Yu Huanshui said, "Don't be so polite. I know your abilities. You're the top seller every month, which is definitely better than mine. I was a bit impulsive just now, and I was wrong in some ways. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you because of what happened just now. I'll still take care of you in the future."

Wu Antong said, "Thank you, Master."

Yu Huanshui said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy!"

Wu Antong said, "Okay, Master, I won't bother you anymore. You can continue with your work."

……

Inside the fake cable factory located in the suburbs, Wei Guangjun invited Zhao Juemin and Liang Anni over to discuss the events of the day.

It was already getting dark when Liang Anni got out of the car. There weren't even any streetlights around, and she walked unsteadily towards the cable factory.

Upon entering the cable factory, Wei Guangjun and Zhao Juemin were already there. Liang Anni looked around and, seeing that there wasn't even a place to sit, couldn't help but complain, "Why did we meet here? It's pitch black, there's nothing around, not even a chair."

Wei Guangjun sighed: "Stop complaining. Don't you think about our current situation? These are extraordinary times, so it's best to be cautious. From now on, we'll discuss things here."

Liang Anni glanced at Zhao Juemin, who had no expression on his face, and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

He turned to Wei Guangjun and asked, "Old Wei, what's the matter? Why did you have to ask me out so urgently, and to such a secluded place?"

Zhao Juemin said, "Is that even a question? Besides the USB drive, what else could it be? Didn't Yu Huanshui just happen to come to work today?"

Liang Anni said, "Actually, I still can't connect the USB drive with Yu Huanshui. Would someone like Yu Huanshui have the guts to do something like that?"

Zhao Juemin sneered, "If it's not Yu Huanshui, then tell me where the USB drive is?"

Liang Anni said angrily, "Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? How would I know where it is? I'm just expressing my opinion, what's wrong with that? With Yu Huanshui's cowardly nature, would he really do something like this!"

Zhao Juemin said coldly, "Regardless of whether he can do it or not, I can't just say what I think."

Liang Anni snorted: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Juemin said sarcastically, "Liang Anni, the USB drive was in your possession the whole time. You don't know where you went, who you met, or which bed you slept in."

Liang Anni was furious: "Zhao Juemin, can't you live without spewing filth from your mouth?!"

Zhao Juemin said, "You're the one spewing nonsense!"

Wei Guangjun, who had been observing coldly, finally spoke up: "What's all the fuss about? I called you here today to solve problems and discuss issues, not to argue!"

Liang Anni said, "Weren't we just analyzing the problem? Zhao Juemin had to interfere and argue with me. Actually, I think Yu Huanshui is very strange. If he did it, what would he want to do with the USB drive? For money... or something else... or maybe we made things difficult for him before and he wants revenge? That's too naive."

Wei Guangjun coughed and said, "Stop guessing, it's not Yu Huanshui."

Zhao Juemin and Liang Anni were both startled. They had always suspected Yu Huanshui before, and even promoted him. How could it be that he wasn't Yu Huanshui after all?

"Old Wei, what's going on? Although I don't think it's Yu Huanshui, who else could it be but him?"

Zhao Juemin also said, "Yes! Old Wei, who exactly is he?"

Wei Guangjun sighed and said, "Yu Huanshui has someone behind him. He's the one who directed everything. Our USB drive was probably taken by Yu Huanshui at his behest."

Zhao Juemin exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?"

Wei Guangjun said, "How is it impossible? According to the information Yu Huanshui revealed, they may have been watching us for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to let Yu Huanshui take away the USB drive containing the accounts."

Liang Anni and Zhao Juemin exchanged a glance, both finding it hard to accept.

Liang Anni said, "Old Wei, have you seen this person before? Who is he? He's targeting us. Have we offended him?"

Wei Guangjun sighed and said, "Who knows who he is? Yu Huanshui calls him Brother Li. He was the one who orchestrated the USB drive incident. Yu Huanshui told me to my face that he was working for Brother Li."

Zhao Juemin said, "Impossible, right? Is this Brother Li a fabrication by Yu Huanshui, deliberately trying to deceive us?"

Liang Anni asked doubtfully, "Lying to us? Does Yu Huanshui have that ability and intelligence? He's been with the company for so many years. If he had that intelligence, he would have been promoted and given a raise long ago. He wouldn't be at the bottom of the performance rankings every month."

Wei Guangjun said, "It wasn't a lie. I can be sure that Yu Huanshui's reaction at the time showed that he didn't know anything about the inside story. He was just a tool that was pushed out to communicate with us. You can't fake that, and Yu Huanshui doesn't have that kind of acting skills."

Liang Anni said nervously, "So that means we've been watched all along! What do we do? Will it get leaked? Will something bad happen?"

Wei Guangjun said, "Judging from the attitude conveyed by Yu Huanshui, the other party did not intentionally leak their intentions. They probably want to talk to us."

Liang Anni patted her chest: "It's good that you're willing to talk. At worst, we can give up some profits. Let's make money peacefully."

Zhao Juemin was furious. He was the one who took the USB drive and sent the threatening text messages, all because he was dissatisfied with the profit sharing and wanted to extort money from the two of them. Where did this so-called Brother Li come from? How could he possibly have a USB drive and still want to extort money from him?

He glanced at the two of them and said, "I disagree. This money was earned by us at great risk. Why should we share it with this so-called Brother Li? Who knows if he's a fraudster? Maybe he has nothing and is just trying to scare us."

Liang Anni said, "How could there be nothing? Old Wei just said that it was this Brother Li who took the USB drive through Yu Huanshui. Our accounts are all in his hands. If we don't share the profits with him, aren't we afraid that he will go all out and call the police to send us all to jail?"

"Let me state this first: I will not do anything that risks my life for money."

Wei Guangjun also coughed lightly and said, "That's what I mean too. If we can negotiate, let's negotiate and resolve this peacefully. As long as it's not too excessive, losing some interests is acceptable."

Zhao Juemin still insisted, "I disagree."

Liang Anni said, "If you disagree, fine, but what solutions do you have? Don't just be clueless and worry about money. You might earn it, but you won't live to spend it."

Zhao Juemin also got angry: "So what if I care about money? Don't you like it? If you don't like it, why do you do this? Don't you know that what we're doing is illegal? You knew it was illegal, but you still did it. Now you're making sarcastic remarks."

Wei Guangjun roared, "Alright, enough talk. It's no use saying anything now. They have our weaknesses in their hands. If you really want to go all out, I'll go with you. We'll all go in together."

"Let's all talk about how to solve this."

Liang Anni was the first to raise her hand and said, "I'd like to reiterate my position: I hope for a peaceful resolution, and consider it a loss to avoid further trouble."

Seeing that Liang Anni had spoken, Wei Guangjun turned his attention to Zhao Juemin. Zhao Juemin had no choice but to speak up, so he said, "I don't object to spending money to avoid trouble, but we need to clarify the situation, especially about that Brother Li. None of us have ever met him; it's all Yu Huanshui's description."

"Nobody knows what he really means or whether he has any leverage over us. I think we should figure that out first. If we confirm that the other party does have the ledger, we can pay to avoid trouble, and I agree with that."

"If the other party is just threatening us and has nothing to show for it, we can't be fooled and suffer this huge loss without knowing why."
