"Furthermore, Miss Ye Lu has requested Mr. Tang Sen, the General Manager, to return from his leave to assist her," the aide added.

Huffman raised his eyebrows in surprise: "That famously stubborn old man was actually persuaded to come back by her?"

"Indeed, Miss Ye Lu really has some skills. You know that Tang Sen is a hardliner. If he is determined not to help, even if you, the President, personally intervened, he would not show any favor," the aide also looked amazed.

"What did she do?"

"It is said that she showed Tang Sen a company internal reform plan, and he agreed to come back after seeing it."

Huffman showed a look of keen interest.

"Hmm, help me get a copy of this plan secretly. I want to see what kind of impressive plan it is that could move the stubborn old man."

Seeing his expression, the aide was very surprised. Witnessing Yiren’s perfect performance, yet he showed even greater interest in Ye Lu, which was truly odd: "I thought you would value Miss Yiren more and be more interested in her. After all, the rules you set up for this competition clearly seem to favor her."

Huffman leaned back in his leather chair, lit a cigar, and after a few puffs, he spoke slowly and indifferently.

"Who said I’m favoring her? I don’t favor anyone."

"But your actions are obviously advantageous to Yiren, putting Ye Lu at a disadvantage!" The aide’s eyes widened, how could one brazenly make such false statements!

The blatant favoritism was obvious, with Yiren having a huge advantage. Thus, now within the group, everyone believed the President was more inclined towards Yiren, which led many executives and directors to side with Yiren, providing her with more favoritism when the headquarters facilitates for the subsidiaries.

And Ye Lu was basically ignored, with everyone convinced she was bound to lose.

"I have made no decision to favor anyone in my heart. Even if the rules are designed to benefit Yiren, I still am not biased."

"But isn’t that unfair to Miss Ye Lu?"

Huffman scoffed coldly: "When has the business world ever cared for fairness? In the deceitful world of commerce, does anyone give you a fair chance? The idea of fairness is a mistake. In the real battle of business, if the Hua Clan competes with other companies, would those companies take her under consideration because she is pregnant and ill? Will they accommodate her?

No, they will only take the opportunity to suppress and seize victory during such a time. So, society is not fair, only schools care about fairness. If the situation were reversed, and it was Yiren who was pregnant, I would also take the same competitive decisions!"

Those who have the courage to accept this competition shouldn’t have any complaints.

And the truly competent individual is one who can triumph despite any disadvantage. If victory only comes when all the conditions are favorable, can that even be called a victory? That’s just luck.

He will use the most brutal rules to select the most outstanding successor!

...

"What’s happening? Have they already stolen the evidence? Did the people from the investigation bureau in ambush track them down?" Ye Lu hurried to the investigation bureau and asked Lunxi urgently.

However, Hua Lunxi’s expression was not good: "This organization is really not simple, leaving no clues behind, and they successfully stole the items. We had people from the investigation bureau stationed in ambush in several places within a five-kilometer radius, yet they still managed to shake them off."

"What?" Ye Lu was shocked; the opponents’ skills were so high that they escaped even from their well-laid ambush. She felt deeply disappointed, "Then does this mean our operation has failed?"

"Not necessarily—" Hua Lunxi shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "I still have an ace up my sleeve!"
