Rose Young’s phone rang. She ignored it at first, but the caller was persistent. Cursing, she struggled opening her purse before fishing out her phone. It was her father.
"Are you drunk?" Romeo Young asked.
She immediately started bawling her eyes out. "Dad, Big Brother Liwei married...that slut! And he fired me! I love him so much! Dad!!!"
"Stop throwing a tantrum!" Her father’s tone didn’t have any sympathy at all. "What happened already happened. There’s no use in complaining. The important thing right now is to plan our next moves."
Her father’s words managed to gradually sober her up. She wiggled into a sitting position and forced herself to concentrate on what her father was telling her.
"Put aside the fact that Jin Liwei married that woman for now," he said. "We can’t do anything about that during this time, but don’t lose hope. Marriage is not the end. There’s still divorce. You still have a chance. Just like in investing, always focus on long-term prospects, not the short-term. If you act smart, you’ll eventually become Jin Liwei’s wife in the end."
A wonderful image of a married life with Jin Liwei flashed in her mind, putting her in a good mood. "You’re right, Dad."
"Good that you understand. The most immediate problem that we need to solve right now is you being fired from your position at Jin Corporation’s headquarters there in China. This is a serious setback to our plans. What the hell did you that Jin Liwei ended up firing you?"
She told him the truth.
He sighed. "Confessing to him right after he returned to work from what should likely be his honeymoon was such a foolish move on your part."
"I couldn’t control myself after seeing his wedding photo with that slut in the cover of a magazine. It should’ve been ME!"
"Enough of that! We’re talking about something more important right now that affects our whole family! I sent you there with an important mission to increase your influence in the company as the CMO, and yet you got yourself fired in just a few months!"
She didn’t reply. Her father sounded truly angry this time.
"As soon as I heard that you got fired, I immediately talked to our allies from the Jin branch families. They’re going to appeal Jin Liwei’s decision to fire you in an emergency board of directors meeting. What you need to do now is to persuade the rest of the members of the board of directors that your removal from your position as CMO is rash, unreasonable and unfair. We need to move more quickly this time."
"I understand. I’ll definitely return to my CMO position. That title belongs to me. And in the future, I’ll snatch the title of Mrs. Jin from that slut Iris Long. I deserve it more than her, anyway."
"Just follow all my instructions properly this time. Your mother also asked her relatives there in China to assist you, so call them if you need anything. If we, the Youngs, rise to the Jins’ level, your mother’s maiden family will also follow. That’s why they’re very motivated to help in our goals. Make use of them."
