Chapter 89: Jane Harper’s Dreams
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Who knows? I asked the HR department, and they all said they received an order from the higher-ups not to spread the word. They only said that we’ll know in the afternoon.”
“So, it’s pretty confidential, huh?”
Jane was also part of the gossiping team.
She had just received the news today that she would be promoted to a director and that the newly appointed general manager would be coming soon. Thus, she had to do her best to leave a good impression on the new general manager to get into his good books. It’ll be best if the new general manager is a young and handsome bachelor!
Jane believed that with her competence and beauty, she might be able to marry the general manager in the future if she could win his favor!
That would be much more powerful than the authority she would have as the director of the business department!
Jane imagined how much power she would enjoy after she married the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation and how everyone would have to bow down to her. If she were good at convincing him, the Brilliance Corporation would be in her control!
By then, Cheyenne Carter would be nothing!
Jane was overjoyed, and when she turned around to look at Cheyenne, who was typing on her computer in the corner, she suddenly felt a strong sense of superiority. So what if the Brilliance Corporation used to belong to you? Soon, it will become mine!
As she thought of this, an arrogant expression appeared on her face, and she strutted smugly toward Cheyenne’s desk in her heels. She raised her hand and unplugged the cable connected to Cheyenne’s computer.
Cheyenne had just completed some project proposals and personnel transfer files and uploaded them to her cloud drive. However, she hadn’t finished some spreadsheets yet, but the computer screen suddenly went black.

She looked up to see Jane standing in front of her with an arrogant and condescending expression, holding the power plug in her hand. A few ill-intentioned staff out to watch a good show surrounded them.
“What are you doing?” Cheyenne frowned and looked at Jane, who had obviously unplugged the power cord on purpose.
“Watch your tone with Ms. Harper!” Before Jane could say anything, a person with heavy makeup intervened and was eager to teach Cheyenne a lesson.
Cheyenne didn’t even bother paying attention to such a person and simply stared at Jane to see what tricks she was playing.
“Tsk, I don’t even know what you’re pretending to be busy for. The new general manager will be here soon. Did you know?” Jane Harper said leisurely after dropping the power cord.
“And?” Cheyenne asked, leaning back against her chair.
Seeing how unconcerned and nonchalant Cheyenne was, Jane was furious. Why does this woman always act as if she is so high and mighty?
Jane decided that she didn’t want to fire Cheyenne so soon. She wanted to keep her around so that she could make her watch her become the wife of the general manager and take away the Brilliance Corporation!
“What are you pretending for? Who doesn’t know that you were the chairman of the Brilliance Corporation in the past, but the Carters took it away from you later? You were then given a powerless junior position, and you even competed with Bryce Carter for the position of general manager. But unfortunately, that old man would rather choose that wastrel Bryce than make you the general manager.
“You must be disappointed, huh? There’s going to be someone else taking the position of general manager. Does that make you sadder?” Jane Harper said with a smile, deliberately out to upset Cheyenne.

“Ah, poor you! You used to be the high and mighty chairman of the board, but now you can only huddle in a corner of this office. You must be terrified, aren’t you?”
“Hahaha! Certain people just get better and better the higher they climb, while the lives of some just get worse with time. This is life!”
“I really advise certain people to recognize their own abilities sooner and know where they stand, lest they keep on dreaming!”
“Exactly! She got driven out by her family and even married a loser husband. She’s stuck with her burdensome daughter too, so she will never make a comeback!”
…
Cheyenne looked at the hideous faces around her coldly without many emotions.
Soon, these scumbags who just liked to suck up to powerful people would be driven out of the Brilliance Corporation.
At about three in the afternoon, a gray Mercedes-Benz commercial car pulled over at the Brilliance Corporation office entrance, and a refined middle-aged man got down from the backseat. He was James Denning, Flynn Davis’s secretary, who often followed him around.
The deputy general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, Lawrence Cayman, had long been standing at the door. He immediately walked toward the car. “Mr. Denning, you’re here.”
“Hello, Mr. Cayman.” Denning stretched his hand out to shake Cayman’s hand.
After an exchange of pleasantries, Denning asked, “Have they been notified?”
“Yes, they were all notified in the morning. We’re just waiting for you to announce it.”
He had naturally been notified of the arrangements in the morning since he was the interim deputy general manager. However, he didn’t dare to tell outsiders.
Who could have guessed that the person who would become the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation would be that someone?
As Denning arrived, all the staff in the Brilliance Corporation immediately put down what they were doing and hurried to the large conference room on the third floor, which could accommodate more than a thousand people.
Ever since they received the notice this morning, the administration department had already set up the large conference room. All the management staff had been arranged seats according to their position and status in the front row of the conference room. And the other employees sat at the back according to their departments.
Jane hesitated for a moment but soon sat on a seat in the first row.
Her official appointment letter had yet to be issued, so she was technically still a deputy manager for now and wasn’t qualified to sit in the first row.
However, she thought that since her promotion was already a sure bet, a moment sooner or later would make no difference.
Besides, Jane thought that she would only be able to leave a good impression on the new general manager and impress him with her good looks by sitting in the first row.
Seeing Jane Harper sitting in the first row of seats reserved for those in upper management positions, several other directors next to her frowned in puzzlement. But they didn’t end up saying anything.
Now, there were already two people on the podium in front.
One was Lawrence Cayman, the Brilliance Corporation’s interim deputy general manager, and the other was James Denning, the secretary who was transferred over from the Stardust Corporation.
The seat with the ‘General Manager’ nameplate was still vacant.
Who could the mysterious general manager be?
Everyone was eager to find out!
