Ning Xi, a country girl, paid her way through college with student loans and earned her place at a major corporation on merit. For two years, her boss, Zhou Yating, put her own name on Ning Xi’s proposals again and again, while every promotion was blocked with the same excuse: “You still need more experience.”
This time, Zhou Yating dumped a seemingly impossible assignment on her: securing a strategic partnership with Shengheng Group, the industry leader. The whole department was waiting to laugh at her.
They didn’t know that Shengheng’s chief strategic advisor was Ning Xi’s university mentor.
At the celebration, Zhou Yating smiled and walked toward the stage to accept the award. Ning Xi stood up. “Ms. Zhou, are you sure you want to go up there now?”
The entire room fell silent. It was time for the ace to show her hand.
