Chapter 88: New General Manager
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jane was incredibly excited about soon becoming a director, so much so that she was at a loss for what to say.
“Wow. Congratulations, Ms. Harper!”
“Congratulations, Ms. Harper. You are going to be promoted to director! In our company, you’re the only one who could become a director at such a young age!”
“Ms. Harper, please take care of us in the future!”
“Let’s treat Ms. Harper to dinner tonight to celebrate her promotion!”
…
The staff of the business department all gathered around Jane and praised her incessantly.
Jane Harper was brimming with joy, and she couldn’t hide her smugness.
“Tonight, I’ll treat you all to dinner. Let’s book two private rooms at Lion Restaurant. I’d like to thank you all for the trust you’ve had in me and for taking care of me all this while! In the future, we will also continue to work together to make our business department expand and become stronger!”
Although the official promotion appointment letter hadn’t been released yet, Jane was already full of vigor and had the demeanor of a leader.
When they heard that Jane intended to treat them to dinner at Lion Restaurant, all the colleagues began cheering gleefully. “Ms. Harper, you’re so generous!”
“We definitely won’t lose out by working under Ms. Harper!”
At this moment, Cheyenne, who had just changed into a clean set of clothes, entered.
Jane pointed at Cheyenne. “Let’s all go to the Lion tonight, but this person is not welcome.”
As soon as they heard her words, everyone looked at Cheyenne gloatingly.
Jane was now about to be promoted to the director of the business department, while Cheyenne was still just a junior employee.

If they ended up offending Jane Harper, there would definitely be severe consequences.
Cheyenne Carter is going to have a hard time from now on.
Well, unless she leaves the company after realizing that she can’t stand it anymore…
They were all pragmatic people. Seeing how much Jane detested Cheyenne, so much so that she wouldn’t even let Cheyenne take a few days off, no one wanted to take the risk of offending her. Thus, they simply undermined Cheyenne.
“Hmph, even I feel disgusted by Cheyenne Carter’s pretentiousness, let alone Ms. Harper!”
“Exactly! Whenever Ms. Harper orders her to do something, she procrastinates and gives all sorts of excuses for her failure to complete it. Ms. Harper is too kind. If it were me, I would have already fired her!”
“She acts like an heiress just because she used to be family with the Carters! The Brilliance Corporation has long been taken away from her, and she’s not even part of the Carter family anymore since they’ve already chased her out. She’s all alone now. I wonder what dirty tricks she’s using!”
“Hmph, Ms. Harper is right! Tonight is a celebratory dinner for your promotion to director. How could we let someone come and ruin the atmosphere?”
…
Cheyenne’s face turned gloomy. Jane Harper is actually going to be promoted to the director of the business department?
This was something she was unaware of.
However, Cheyenne was not worried at all because she knew that the owner of the Brilliance Corporation was Lucas. And she reckoned that he should be aware of the things that Jane had been doing. He was probably just giving her a false sense of joy.
Cheyenne wasn’t interested in the celebratory party either. Even if Jane invited her, she wouldn’t go.
She was just disappointed that the business department that she had single-handedly developed had already changed drastically after six years of poor management by the Carters.

The majority of the people still here were all bootlickers.
Facing this group of people lashing out at her with harsh and malicious remarks because of Jane, Cheyenne looked at them coldly and humphed. “I hope you will have an enjoyable celebration banquet tonight.”
“Hah, are you being sour because Ms. Harper didn’t invite you?”
“Hahaha. We’re going to an expensive restaurant for a meal tonight thanks to Ms. Harper, while Cheyenne can only go home and cook for her loser husband! Hahahaha!”
“Hahahaha. I forgot Cheyenne Carter had a loser husband! But now that she has been kicked out by the Carters, she might also be chased out by the company. By then, I wonder if her loser husband will still want her!”
“Hahaha, yes, exactly. After all, he just sponges off her. Once Cheyenne stops providing for him, I wonder what’s going to happen to them!”
…
They started insulting her one after another.
In the past, Cheyenne might still feel embarrassed. But now, she just felt that they were a bunch of clowns.
Without saying anything, she turned around and left to prepare for her future plans after becoming the general manager.
Initially, Cheyenne had turned down Lucas’s offer to hand over the Brilliance Corporation directly to her and wanted to climb up the ladder with her own efforts so that others would be convinced that she truly had what it takes.
However, everything that happened made Cheyenne understand that even if she was outstanding and hardworking, she would never be able to advance because of Jane Harper.
Cheyenne had also figured something out.
Her ultimate goal was to take back the Brilliance Corporation and purge all the bad practices and unscrupulous employees. She wanted the Brilliance Corporation to become healthy and full of vigor, restoring it to what it used to be.
Trying to gain the recognition of others was not the right thing to do.
As long as Lucas approved of her and she had the ability to improve the Brilliance Corporation, that would be enough.
Soon, before noon, a shocking piece of news spread to the ears of every employee of the Brilliance Corporation.
A new general manager had already been appointed and would be arriving at the office in the afternoon. At that time, all the employees of the Brilliance Corporation, except those who were out of town on business trips, would have to go to the first floor of the office to meet the new general manager!
Once the news came out, countless people began to talk about it.
Since the Brilliance Corporation was taken away by the Stardust Corporation more than ten days ago, the former general manager, Bryce Carter, was kicked out, and the remaining Carters were also sacked. Thus, there were many vacant positions.
However, except for the temporary assignment of the deputy general manager to take care of the company affairs, no other vacant positions had been filled.
In particular, the top position of general manager had been vacant for a long time. Many people had also been guessing if someone would be transferred over to fill the position or if a staff of the Brilliance Corporation would be promoted.
To be honest, they would prefer an internal selection within the Brilliance Corporation so that everyone would have a fair chance. Besides, they were all old acquaintances, and there would be more room for discussion.
“Have you heard? Who is the general manager this time? Is it someone from elsewhere or someone from our company?” someone asked.
