346 New Method of Persuasion (2/2)

It was completely different now compared to the early days of their relationship. Before, he needed to coax her and even trick her into making her talk to him more. But now she was doing it on her own volition. He felt very happy that they had reached this point.

”Long Xiulan, thank you,” he told her in a voice so soft that it was barely audible.

Fortunately, Iris had great ears. She tilted her head to the side. ”Hm? What for?”

”Thank you for accepting me and also for loving me.”

She hugged him. ”I'm glad I met you, Jin Liwei.”

”Congratulations to Manager Long for his promotion to the main company,” the branch director raised his glass in a toast to Long Jian.

”Congrats!”

”Manager Long, please don't forget about us.”

”We'll miss you, Manager Long. Please visit us whenever you have the time.”

Long Jian's colleagues at the small branch division he had worked at since graduating from university offered their congratulations and well-wishes to him. They were at a popular restaurant near their workplace to celebrate his promotion to the main company. They also treated the dinner as his farewell party.

The females were very sad to see him go. He was their office crush and dream guy. To them, he was perfect in every single way. He was tall, handsome, smart, cool and charismatic. The performance of their small branch division improved by leaps and bounds because of him.

Everyone knew that he was President Long Tengfei's illegitimate son. At first, they thought that he only used his father's influence to obtain a position right after graduating from university.

However, as soon as he started working, they discovered what an outstanding businessman he was. He was a born leader who knew how to push his team members to work harder and become more ambitious.

They were sad to see him go, but knew that he already outgrew their small branch division. He deserved to reach higher up the hierarchy ladder at the main company. They believed that he had the skills, abilities, and drive to be an executive one day. However, not one of them thought that he could be President Long Tengfei's successor one day. After all, it was an already widely accepted fact that Deputy CFO Long Hui was the heir of Long Industries.

As for Long Jian, he was relieved that he finally received a promotion. He couldn't wait to leave the small branch division. The three years he worked there felt like three decades. He resented the fact that his father sent him to such a small branch division after graduating.

He felt that it was unfair because Long Hui directly worked at the main company when he graduated. Even though both of them graduated top of their classes from the same C9 League university, why was the treatment of them after graduation so different from each other? Was it because Long Hui was the legitimate firstborn son and he was illegitimate?

Despite the unfairness of it all, he worked extremely hard to boost the small branch division's performance. It was now one of the top branches because of him. All of his hard work finally paid off.

By next week, he would start working at the main company under the COO. Although the position given to him was too low for his liking, it was alright. He just needed to work hard again in order to climb the ranks.

He couldn't wait to show everyone at the main company his capabilities and to prove that he was more worthy than Long Hui to succeed as the head of Long Industries. This was his chance and he was going to seize it with all he had.
