Chapter 13 : Making a Mountain out of a Molehill

• She thought that after firing the employee involved, the whole incident would be completely resolved. But within three days, rumors started spreading throughout the company.
• "I can't believe it, that Lin Wancheng from the Secretary Department, from the interview to the salary raise, has been relying on the CEO to climb up the ladder. Now she even managed to push out their supervisor."
• In the pantry, a few colleagues openly discussed the matter.
• Another person sneered, "What's so surprising about that? Look at her sly appearance. I knew from the moment she entered the company that she would try to climb up the ladder by attaching herself to someone. But I never expected her to be so ambitious and skilled, directly reaching the highest position."
• "It's because she's capable. Mora was pushed out by her, and I heard that the CEO wants her to take over as team leader. It's really laughable, does she even deserve it?"
• Naturally, these words reached Lin Wancheng's ears, but she only cared about the part regarding the change in position.
• Because all of this was not just baseless speculation.
• Promotion and wealth! How could she not hope for it!
• The next day, when Shen Sichen called her into his office, she couldn't hide her smile.
• Seeing her smirking, even Shen Sichen couldn't help but feel pleased.
• He solemnly asked, "Do you think you can take over Mora's work and become the team leader?"
• Suppressing her excitement, Lin Wancheng truthfully replied, "I believe I can."
• Shen Sichen flipped through Lin Wancheng's resume and said, "Then write a one-year work plan for the supervisor to review."
• He did this not out of personal interest.
• In fact, besides the HR department, almost no one knew that Lin Wancheng had an impressive resume.
• She skipped grades multiple times in school and entered a top-tier university at the age of sixteen with outstanding results. Before graduating with a master's degree, she had interned at a Fortune 500 company for two years and organized numerous large-scale social activities at school.
• Although she made a few mistakes when she first joined the company, it didn't overshadow her capabilities.
• After the supervisor's approval, Lin Wancheng happily took up her new position.
• To celebrate her promotion, she even bought herself two sets of professional attire.
• During her first secretary meeting, Lin Wancheng boldly announced several amendments to the regulations.
• "As we all know, Xingchen was a century-old company. The CEO has a long-term vision and is innovative. Although he has implemented comprehensive reforms after taking over, there are still many outdated and conservative systems that need improvement. So, I have just compiled several new regulations. If there are no objections, let's proceed with their implementation."
• "Heh, making a mountain out of a molehill," a voice came from the corner.
• But Lin Wancheng wasn't angry. She knew that as a newcomer in a position of authority, there would be many who would be dissatisfied with her.
• She smiled calmly and said, "Manager Song? Do you have a problem with me as a person or with my work? If it's about my work, this plan has been approved by the supervisor and the CEO. If you think there's something wrong, you can raise it now or even directly appeal to the CEO. If it's about me personally, then I suggest you leave personal feelings and grudges out of the workplace."
• These few words silenced the doubters.
• Shen Sichen, who had heard about these incidents, smiled with satisfaction. His judgment was indeed accurate.
• From the previous incidents, he had already noticed that Lin Wancheng was not arrogant or impetuous in her work. She had a principled and resolute approach. For a young girl, such character was even rarer than excellent abilities.
• After two weeks of outstanding performance by Lin Wancheng, the rumors and gossip subsided.
• Both work and life started going smoothly, and if she hadn't received the news that she had to attend the celebration banquet at the Shen family estate the day after tomorrow, she would have been in a very good mood.
• "Damn the Shen family for being so troublesome! Why do they have so many events? Just celebrate a birthday by yourself, buy a cake, and light a candle. There's no need to go through all this trouble and throw a grand feast! These nouveau riche really love showing off!"
• As Lin Wancheng rushed to the Shen family's old mansion, she grumbled all the way.
