Chapter 300
When the taxi pulled up to the curb, a security guard immediately stepped forward to open the door.
Mia stepped out. As soon as her heels hit the pavement, a man in his fifties stepped forward.
Ms. Carter, I am Winston Henderson, the interim head of this branch.”
Winston spoke with a touch of arrogance, neither humble nor submissive.
Perhaps because he hadn’t expected Mia to be so young, he couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances at her.
Mr. Henderson.” Mia gave a slight nod, then looked toward the group of executives at the entrance. “Hello veryone, I’m Mia Carter. I look forward to working with you all.”
Hello, Ms. Carter.”
Welcome, Ms. Carter…”
The greetings were listless and weak.
They were standing there to welcome her, ostensibly giving this “parachuted” manager plenty of face.
n reality, it was just a surface-level performance, completely devoid of sincerity.
Mia had long expected this. She clutched her briefcase and headed into the building.
We’ll have a meeting in thirty minutes. Have the Human Resources Manager come to my office first.”
Winston walked beside her and said, “There are departmental meetings at 9:00 AM. Perhaps you should wait? The company is currently short-staffed, and the HR Manager went out early this morning to organize campus
ecruitment.”
He had rejected both of Mia’s requests in a row.
Mia glanced at her watch. It was 8:30 AM.
She stopped and looked at Winston.
Then, Mr. Henderson, please arrange something for me to do while the departments are having their meetings.”
Winston replied, “You can use the time to familiarize yourself with the branch’s situation.”
I already did that last night,” Mia said calmly. “Mr. Henderson, you’re the nephew of Director Henderson. Originally, his son was supposed to take over here, and you were slated to be the Vice General Manager. But now that the Director’s son isn’t coming, your chance at that position has vanished. But don’t be unhappy. If you do a good job, I’ll promote you myself.”
A slap and then a sweet.
Winston was up there in years; naturally, he was unwilling to bow down to a young girl like Mia.
But with his internal dissatisfaction exposed and a promise of promotion given, he knew that if he continued to
be difficult, he would look ungrateful and only confirm his own bitterness.
“Ms. Carter, you must be joking. I’ll go notify the departments about the meeting immediately.”

Since the HR staff was out for recruitment and the process had been planned in advance, they couldn’t return.
No one from the HR Department attended the meeting that morning.
Mia took the time to get to know the department heads. Some were different from the information she had gathered beforehand.
Most, however, were exactly as she had expected.
When the meeting ended and she was preparing to return to her office, Winston followed her again.
‘Ms. Carter, this is Julian Cole, your assistant and secretary.”
Mia turned and saw a young man in his twenties standing next to Winston.
The man was handsome and well-featured, looking like a university student and radiating a sense of youthful
energy.
