However, Shirley didn't believe me that much, "If I find out that it was you and your brother who conspired against me, I won't let you go."
My sister-in-law kept telling me over and over again that I was the one who caused her current situation. Because of guilt, I gave up looking for a job and devoted myself to taking care of her at home.
What I got in return was her killing me.
This time I wouldn't give up the opportunity for promotion.
The company training is confined, and my phone was turned off during the training period.
After the training, I found my sister-in-law called me countless times. She knew about my training abroad.
Shirley was so anxious. I thought there must be a problem with her and my brother's relationship.
I ignored her call records, opened the email sent by the company, and received a promotion and salary increase notice as I performed well during the training.
To my surprise, I didn't get promoted to deputy manager, but directly became the manager.
I didn't know what happened, so I called Mr. Cox.
"Emily, let's talk about it when you come back to the company!" Before I could speak, Mr. Cox asked me to return.
I packed up my things quickly and booked the earliest flight back to the company.
"Miss Brown, Mr. Cox is waiting for you in his office. Please go inside."
Just back to the company, I didn't have time to ask what happened, Mr. Cox's secretary took me directly to the office.
I hurriedly went to Mr. Cox's office and asked the questions that puzzled me all the way. "Why did I get promoted to be the manager?"
Mr. Cox poured me a cup of tea. "Have a sip of tea first."
I took a sip, and then Mr. Cox slowly told me the whole story.
Mr. Cox was an old employee of the company. He had been working in this company for more than 20 years. In addition to an annual salary of two million dollars, he was also one of the shareholders of the company. Now that his children had their own families, at the age of 48, he often felt that he owed his family's company. He had long wanted to retire, and he had been intentionally cultivating me to be his successor.
"Emily, I have seen your efforts in the company over the years. With your abilities, you can handle this position."
