Sun Xiaofei shook her head. In her opinion, Ling Feng's thoughts were somewhat driven by personal rivalry. The business world is like a battlefield; there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!

However, Sun Xiaofei also understood that even if she objected now, it would be useless. As long as she took maternity leave, this place would still be under Ling Feng's control.

"Forget it, I'll just talk to President Yun!" Sun Xiaofei shook her head, hoping President Yun could control Ling Feng.

"Now let me introduce you to the elites of the marketing department!" Sun Xiaofei picked up the company phone and dialed several internal numbers.

Soon four middle-aged people, two men and two women, each around forty, entered.

"Hello, everyone. This is our new General Manager of the Marketing Department, Mr. Ling Feng!" Sun Xiaofei told them, "During my leave, all matters of the international marketing department will be handled by Mr. Ling Feng. The human resources department will issue the appointment notice later."

"Ling Feng, these are the managers of our marketing department: Manager Liang Kai, Manager Liu Dong, Manager Chen Yun, and Manager Zhang Yue!" Sun Xiaofei introduced them one by one, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Sun Xiaofei said indifferently, "Where is Manager Wang Ling? She should have been in the company just now!"

Liang Kai was a slightly overweight glasses-wearing man in his forties. He pushed his glasses up, his face bearing a trace of a bitter smile, "Just now, Director Wang said she had an important client to meet, she should be in the meeting room now!"

Sun Xiaofei coldly said, "What kind of important client is she meeting at this time? Where is her deputy?"

The other three did not speak, but the smile in their eyes was evident.

Sun Xiaofei's expression turned ugly. Wang Ling was a very senior market manager with a large client base. Originally, when the international marketing department was being setup, she thought she would become the manager of the new department, but unexpectedly, President Yun had sent his own secretary to be the manager.

This made Wang Ling very angry, so normally, leveraging her seniority and significant contributions, she never showed Sun Xiaofei any respect! Although Sun Xiaofei turned a blind eye to this behavior for the sake of smooth work operations.

However, what Sun Xiaofei did not expect was that even on the eve of her departure, Wang Ling would still disrespect her and deliberately meet with so-called important clients to embarrass her. That was really too much!

In fact, by all means, Wang Ling, with deepest seniority, was admittedly the most deserving candidate for the managerial role in the entire international marketing department.

However, for such an important department, capability is essential, but another more important factor is loyalty!

The reason Yun Hanrui had chosen Sun Xiaofei to head the international marketing department was partly to train Sun Xiaofei so that she could take on greater responsibilities in the future, and partly because Yun Hanrui wanted to build her own team. A critical department like this naturally had to be managed by one of her own!

"Well, since Director Wang has important clients, let's discuss the future work plan first!" Seeing the dismay on Sun Xiaofei's face, Ling Feng chimed in, "I'm new here and still not very familiar with the company's situation. Managers, share your views on the marketing department and the current work situation?"

The four managers looked at each other, none of them speaking first.

Ling Feng's fingers gently tapped on the desktop. Although he was still smiling, his smile already carried a hint of coldness, "You four are the mainstays of the international marketing department. Do you really have no opinions on your work? If so, that would be a dereliction of duty!"

"Manager Liu Dong, you talk about your views first!" Ling Feng said indifferently.

Liu Dong was relatively thin and a bit younger than Liang Kai, but he was also over thirty-five or thirty-six years old.

When Liu Dong saw Ling Feng had called on him, he chuckled, "The marketing department's work is quite messy and chaotic. May I know which specific issue Manager Ling is interested in?"

Although Liu Dong appeared as gentle as a scholarly youth, his voice had a firm undertone of disapproval toward Ling Feng.

Sun Xiaofei had been very young before, and considering she was President Yun's personal secretary, the directors would give President Yun some face. However, now that Sun Xiaofei was on vacation and they had sent another young person, it made the directors somewhat dissatisfied!

To have sufficient connections in this line of work without a decade of experience was impossible! Thus, these directors were all nearly forty years of age. How could they willingly follow the arrangements of a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old young man?

"It seems Manager Liu's problems here are already too numerous to address," Ling Feng mused with a nod, "Since you don't know what to say, let's leave it at that. I'll send someone else to help you solve the problems you're dealing with. What do you think, Manager Liu?"

Liu Dong's expression changed. He had intended to use his words to mock Ling Feng, but he hadn't expected to be countered by Ling Feng instead!

Although he looked down on Ling Feng, now that Ling Feng was indeed the General Manager of the International Marketing Department, if he were to complain to President Yun...

Liu Dong's expression turned ugly: "Manager Ling must be joking. Since Manager Ling wants to understand about the marketing department, I'll start and throw out a brick to attract jade!"

Under compulsion, Liu Dong reluctantly described some situations in the marketing department. Although not very detailed, he was essentially bowing his head to Ling Feng.

The other three people were somewhat surprised; it seemed that the new Manager Ling was much tougher than Sun Xiaofei! They thought for a moment and then followed Liu Dong's example, temporarily submitting to Ling Feng.

They were well aware that among those discontent with leadership, one vanguard had not yet appeared.

Half an hour later, Wang Ling came out from the reception room and showed a slight, triumphant smile after seeing off several clients.

"By the way, why haven't I seen Manager Liu and the others?" Wang Ling looked around and noticed that the other managers were absent; she sniffed towards her assistant.

"The other managers are still in the General Manager's office!" the assistant said, "Sister Wang, do you want to go there?"

"No rush, let's rest a bit first!" Wang Ling sat down, took out her makeup bag, and said, "I've talked myself hoarse finally securing the cooperation with Dingyun Group. It exhausted me!"

The assistant, with a tone of envy, said, "Congratulations, Sister Wang. If this cooperation succeeds, you will have played a major role!"

"What credit do I have!" Wang Ling smiled faintly, "The credit all goes to the leaders, and the blame falls on us. Now, it's time to see what instructions our big leader has!"

Saying this, Wang Ling swayed her hips as she walked towards the General Manager's office.

"Hmph, this place will be mine sooner or later!" A frenzied glint passed through Wang Ling's eyes, "Be it connections or capabilities, where am I not stronger than Sun Xiaofei?"
