Chapter 1501 - His Leverage (1/2)

Xue Yishan took out a stack of documents and pushed it to Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, the leverage I am offering you is the entire marketing and sales department.”

Xue Yishan had been with the marketing and sales department for 15 years. He had the most experience among all the management there. Even the department head had entered the company later than him.

How could the other managers, who had attained their positions by way of connections, compare to Xue Yishan, who had relied solely on his own capabilities and worked his way up from the bottom? Who else would know the inner workings of the department better than him?

All these years, despite appearing mild and steadfast, he was able to more than hold his own during management discussions, even when up against the department head. This was the main reason why he was able to survive despite the machinations of his department head and the other managers.

With his help, Miss Wen would be able to take control of the marketing and sales department much more easily.

This leverage was the reason why he had dared to directly approach Miss Wen and offer this olive branch.

“Manager Xue is truly sincere.” Wen Xinya didn’t immediately reach for the documents. She just glanced at it nonchalantly and shifted her eyes away.

Actually, she really wished to make use of Xue Yishan’s power within the marketing and sales department, and so those documents were of utmost importance to her. Nevertheless, she couldn’t display an overeagerness, or it would be a weakness that could be easily taken advantage of by others. It was like buying something at a shop. If the buyer showed an exceptional interest in an object, the seller would take advantage of that interest to raise the price.

Xue Yishan had so daringly offered such heavyweight leverage as he wanted to gain her regard and trust.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t give in to his wishes so easily. At the very least, she must let him know that to be allowed to join her faction, he must rein in his own ambitions and not make any fancy moves in front of her.

It was obvious that although Wen Xinya acknowledged the importance of those documents, she did not appear too enthusiastic. This had an intelligent man like Xue Yishan on his toes. “Miss Wen, to tell you the truth, the current head of the marketing and sales department was personally brought in by CEO Wen. The other managers also rose to their positions by virtue of their relationship with some shareholders. Due to my own background, I don’t have anyone supporting me and have had a hard time in the marketing and sales department. That’s why I wish to offer my allegiance to Miss Wen.”

Offering his allegiance and all his leverage.

It was still not enough to move this missy, as she was truly an old hand at ploys and intrigues.

It was no secret that the Wen Family father and daughter did not get along. If Wen Xinya openly tried to interfere with the Wen Corporation, the conflict between father and daughter would officially come to light. If that happened, the first thing to be impacted would be the reputation of the Wen Family. Next would be the interests of the Wen Corporation, whereby internal strife might descend upon the core management of the company, resulting in irreversible consequences.

That was why she had chosen to avoid a direct confrontation with Wen Haowen after joining the board. Instead, she had been secretly amassing power within the Wen Corporation, slowly taking over the company bit by bit. By the time Wen Haowen realized what was happening, it would be too late for him.

A person who knew the importance of looking at the big picture, who knew how to keep a low profile and quietly plot her way, who knew how to conceal her strengths and bide her time—this was someone worth pledging his allegiance to.

The only way to move her and become part of her loyal faction was to reveal his own desperate circumstances. To let her see how much he would benefit from being on her side.

Wen Xinya was quite satisfied with Xue Yishan’s pleading attitude. “Manager Xue is a capable person. There’s no doubt you will be able to flourish in the Wen Corporation in the future.”

This was her promise.
