Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

This is different from the previous modern world, where the entrusted party had elders to back them up. Even if her father preferred the illegitimate son to succeed her, her efforts were more like a powerful force that made them have no choice but to choose her as their successor.

Gu Xingran's situation is different. She has no elders, and in a sense, she has already accepted the law of the jungle since she joined the company. Therefore, it is the easiest way for her to pull out a team from the existing staff.

Xiao Xue hadn't expected her to analyze it from this angle. She sat up straight, glanced at the camera in the corner, and noted that the office camera had excellent sound recording capabilities.

"Don't worry, it's broken." On the first day Gu Xingran sat here, Qiao Yun, at her behest, hacked the camera and even checked it every day to see if anyone had repaired it.

She employs top-level security personnel with very high monthly salaries. Naturally, each of them has their own unique skills. In the information age, hacking a camera is a piece of cake.

Xiao Xue's eyes changed, and she murmured a few times, "I'm under a lot of financial pressure. I worked my butt off to get to where I am today. Manager Qu wanted me to sleep with him, but I refused. When this project was handed to me, I knew there was a problem, but even though I used all my strength, I still couldn't overcome the client's words."

"So, you're planning to compromise yourself?"

"I have no other choice. My daughter has a serious chronic illness that requires long-term medication, which is extremely expensive. My ex-husband thinks it's better to give up on raising such a sickly child and have another one, but I can't bear to. After the divorce, he only provides the most basic child support."

When faced with life, especially the life of a child, a mother's self-respect can be abandoned.

"Can you hang in there a little longer?"

Xiao Xue looked at her and inexplicably saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Many years later, she attended the company's celebration banquet with her daughter. Now in a high position, she looked at President Gu on the stage and suddenly remembered that afternoon.

Many people say that she is the most successful assassin that President Gu has ever trained!

Gu Xingran took out a check from her bag and pushed it over. The amount wasn't large, but it was enough for her to manage for a while.

"Miss Gu, what's wrong?"

"Don't feel pressured, just think of it as something for the child." Gu Xingran specifically chose to use a check, for a moderate amount.

If Xiao Xue wants to repay this kindness in her time of need, she will naturally find a way to do so.

If she didn't want to repay the favor, Gu Xingran wouldn't pursue the matter. She didn't want to recruit everyone in the company into her inner circle; she just needed most people to be slightly more inclined towards her.

Xiao Xue wanted to refuse with dignity, but when she thought about her daughter's medicine that was about to run out, she reached out and took the check.

"Miss Gu, what would you like me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything. I need to take actual control of the company and ensure its continued smooth operation, so that my mother's hard work won't be devoured by others. Therefore, you just need to be a good marketing manager."

Gu Xingran started showing up at Xingjie Group with bodyguards every day, and within a few days, almost all the employees working at the group's headquarters knew about it.

Don't underestimate the gossip power of office workers. Her high-definition photos circulated in various small groups, and her employees imagined all sorts of dramatic scenarios about her.

Many people find all sorts of excuses to appear where she might be, just to catch a glimpse of her. After all, she is a truly wealthy young lady, the largest shareholder of the group, and young and beautiful enough to be the heroine in any novel.

Two weeks later, Gu Xingran appeared in the public relations department.

"Ms. Gu, I have not received any appointment from you." The public relations manager was a shrewd and beautiful woman.

"Manager Yu, I haven't been appointed, and I'm not here to work. I'm here to understand the operations."

"Ms. Gu, this puts me in a difficult position. The current president is Su Yijie, and the executive vice president is Zhao Dong."

"Manager Yu, my every move in this building has been monitored in detail. The people on the top floor probably knew about my joining the public relations department even earlier than you did."

Yu Shengnan, being a shrewd and worldly person, naturally wouldn't really confront the person who owns the most shares. While saying no, he warmly placed her in the most central position in the public relations department.

Then he turned around and made an internal call to Zhao Dong's secretary.

A week later, Zhao Dong called Gu Xingran to his office.

"Xingran, your uncle watched you grow up and will teach you a lesson in how to conduct yourself. The check you gave Xiao Xue won't buy her off. Giving her money directly will only make her more greedy and want to get something for nothing."

Gu Xingran sat across from the desk and smiled slightly. She should be the one in charge of this group, but her current posture made it seem like she was an outsider who had to endure being lectured. The old man was playing psychological warfare with her!

"Uncle Zhao, I heard from my mother that when you first started your business, you delivered goods by yourself on a tricycle. At that time, you were young, you consumed a lot of energy and had a big appetite, but your income was too low. When you ate noodles, you felt very happy if you occasionally added braised meat."

"Your mother told you quite a lot."

"She also said that once, she sold a pair of earrings that her ex-husband had given her and added a portion of meat to each of your meals. Just as you were about to eat, a skinny child stared longingly at your chopsticks. In the end, you didn't put the meat in your mouth, but instead gave your noodles and meat to that child."

Zhao Dong's expression remained calm: "That happened so many years ago."

"Yes, for so many years, you've stood on the top floor of Xingjie Group, looking down at the people walking below as if they were ants on the ground. You've long forgotten that you were once an ant in the eyes of others."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Let me tell you about Xiao Xue. She has a sickly child who needs medication all year round. Her boss, in order to get his hands on her, drove her to the brink of despair. That check was more for her child than for her."

"Xingran is still a kind child." Zhao Dong's eyes were mocking, but his tone was kind.

"Speaking of bribery," Gu Xingran smiled. "Uncle Zhao, although I'm young, I'm not stupid. Why would I spend real money to bribe someone who's not very useful? Xiao Xue is just a deputy manager of the marketing department. With just a signal from you, many people can fire her directly. Xingjie Group isn't so poor that it can't afford the severance pay for an employee."

After saying this, Gu Xingran looked directly at him, and the two of them, one old and one young, stared at each other across the desk.

After a moment, Zhao Dong smiled even more kindly: "Xingran, don't misunderstand. Uncle is worried that you've been deceived. Your parents are no longer here, so Uncle has to worry about you and Yijie."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhao."
