"Content Ecosystem Cooperation Department," "Senior Content Cooperation Manager"...

Zhang Yan’s mind buzzed, almost unable to associate these words with herself.

As an entry-level copywriter in Shu Cheng Technology’s content department, she knew better than anyone what this position meant.

The soft articles and scripts she wrote daily, upon submission to Director Bai Rui, ultimately flowed to the content cooperation departments of clients like Star Cloud International.

And as highly replaceable secondary agents, the most they usually encountered were small project heads under Star Cloud, rarely ever at the manager level.

Zhang Yan had only occasionally met them at certain events.

But how did a little copywriter, not yet even on the job, become a cooperation manager?

Looking at Wang Chongxian’s enthusiastic face, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, President Wang."

With her words finished...

A low buzzing sound filled the entire office area.

Everyone was stunned by the magical realism of the scene before them.

They had all heard of Zhang Yan’s recent resignation turmoil, often discussing it privately.

Originally, they felt a bit sorry for this honest and simple colleague.

Who would have thought that suddenly, Zhang Yan had transformed into the key figure deciding their company’s fate?

Would they have to look to her expressions for their livelihood in the future?

Beside her, Lulu’s shoulders trembled slightly with excitement; she could only pinch her thigh hard, suppressing the scream about to burst from her throat.

Next to her, Li Yufei, after experiencing initial shock, began processing everything at an unprecedented speed.

As a seasoned businessman familiar with Star Cloud International Group, he quickly connected all the clues.

No wonder! No wonder Star Cloud International suddenly contacted them, discussing new in-depth cooperation!

No wonder the assistant to the group’s headquarters board came personally, specifically requesting to "tour the company"!

It turned out, all of it wasn’t for any business review but for their company’s Zhang Yan!

They came to back her up!

Upon understanding this, his face instantly blossomed with an earnest smile as he hurried to Zhang Yan’s side.

He lowered his posture, yet his tone carried an appropriate touch of closeness and pride:

"Oh my! This is a great stroke of luck and the pride of Shu Cheng Technology! When Manager Zhang gets to Star Cloud, she’ll be like family from Shu Cheng Technology going out! The cooperation between the two companies will rely on your kind words and support, haha—"

His words not only flattered Zhang Yan but also extricated himself from the awkwardness of being "uninformed," while paving the way for future cooperation.

Wang Chongxian also smilingly chimed in, and the scene was one of harmony.

Only Zhang Yan, nervous and overwhelmed, could only blushingly and passively accept it all.

She wasn’t accustomed to being the center of attention and didn’t know how to handle such a situation.

In the corner, Bai Rui finally snapped out of the massive shock.

Listening to the conversations and watching Zhang Yan, surrounded like a moon among stars, a chilling icy dread mixed with tremendous fear and regret washed over him.

Recalling the recent twists he gave her, and the words in the meeting room just now.

He wished he could travel back and give himself a hard slap in the face.

It’s over.

He knew he was utterly finished.

Not just losing this high-paying executive job at Shu Cheng Technology, but even... possibly never being able to find his footing in the Yang City circle again.

As the country’s largest advertising media group, his industry can’t avoid Star Cloud International.

And can’t avoid the "Content Ecosystem Cooperation Department" holding the power of life and death over suppliers.

Just then—

Lulu suddenly stood up from her workstation, a reckless expression on her face, "President Li! I have something to report to the leadership!"

This sudden outburst drew everyone’s eyes to her.

Bai Rui’s heart clenched tightly, an ominous premonition instantly hitting him.

Li Yufei’s eyebrows twitched but still kindly said, "What’s the matter? Speak up."

Usually, he was mainly out doing business and meeting clients, not too familiar with these ordinary employees in the company.

But he had seen her many times, this employee was clearly on good terms with Zhang Yan.

In this situation, he couldn’t turn a blind eye.

Lulu first bowed to the leaders, then pointed at Zhang Yan beside her and angrily said, "Zhang Yan officially submitted her resignation application yesterday. But our department’s Director Bai not only held back approval but threatened her with a ’one-month handover period,’ forcing her to sign an agreement waiving her entire performance bonus and travel reimbursement of the past three months!"

Her words, like a bomb thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples.

Bai Rui felt a blackness before his eyes.

"What?! Such a thing?!" Li Yufei’s face changed dramatically.

Lulu looked at this scene and nodded vigorously, "Yes, many colleagues know about it!"

Her thoughts were quite simple.

Now was a moment of overwhelming advantage, Bai Fatty had bullied them for so long.

When else if not now to stomp him down thoroughly?!

Anyway, they were going to resign, they had to vent this anger before leaving.
