In Li Zhe's office, a fragmented conversation could be heard.
"President... we... how to deal with... Peak Group..."
"Entirely... leave it... leave it to you..."
"But... um... but my rank is too low..."
"No worries... um... I'll immediately promote you to Vice President..."
"Um... thank you, General Manager Li... in the future, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it--"
"Good... as long as you work hard... I... I... definitely... won't mistreat you..."
"President... you... um... don't worry."
"How do you plan... to deal with them?"
"President, rest assured... um... the thing I'm best at is dealing with people..."
Zhao Xinyao indeed excelled at dealing with people.
Right after tidying her clothes and coming out of Li Zhe's room, she didn't immediately announce her recent promotion to Vice President but instead deliberately went to provoke a few mid-level managers who had just looked down on her in Li Zhe's office.

Sure enough, these people were easily angered by Zhao Xinyao after a few words, and that's when Zhao Xinyao revealed her position as Vice President.
Faced with having offended Zhao Xinyao, these mid-level managers realized they wouldn't have a peaceful future, so they resigned immediately.
And after several visits to Li Zhe's office, Zhao Xinyao quickly filled the vacant positions with her own people.
Li Zhe was just a playboy; since Zhao Xinyao claimed to be good at dealing with people, Li Zhe was totally confident in her.
His primary target was Wang Yan. Given how adept Zhao Xinyao was at dealing with people, using her against Wang Yan meant Wang Yan's days would surely be tough.
Li Zhe felt pleased, already envisioning the scene of Peak Group going bankrupt.
And Zhao Xinyao didn't let Li Zhe down. In just three days, she had completely understood Peak Group's development strategy and devised a comprehensive counter-strategy.
When Zhao Xinyao placed this plan on Li Zhe's desk, he was almost thrilled enough to jump up.
If this plan were fully implemented, not to mention the newly formed Peak Group, even one of the Four Great Clans would be severely impacted.
Li Zhe had already pictured the satisfying scene of Wang Yan becoming penniless and being forced to kneel before Gangzhe Group to beg for mercy.
Meanwhile, the people in Peak Group had no idea that the wealthy Gangzhe Group had already laid a trap around them, just waiting to reel them in.
Sun Da, San, Li, and others were gathering together, excitedly discussing the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the business center scheduled for the next day.
This ribbon-cutting ceremony would be Peak Group's first public appearance, quite significant, affecting Peak Group's future reputation.
To ensure a successful start, Sun Da put aside his pride and invited Zeng Deyi, Vice President of the Wanghai City Commerce Association.
Zeng Deyi, the Vice President of the Wanghai City Commerce Association, was esteemed and widely connected throughout Wanghai City. Having Zeng Deyi at this ribbon-cutting ceremony was a great honor for Peak Group.
Furthermore, if Peak Group managed to earn Zeng Deyi's favor through this event, it would be a major boon for future business in Wanghai City.
Thus, everyone in Peak Group put their heart and soul into the ribbon-cutting ceremony, considering every detail thoroughly and carefully.
The next day was sunny and perfect.
San, Li, Fang, and others arrived at the scene early.
At the east side of the bustling downtown plaza in Wanghai City, a stage about one meter high and ten meters in length and width had been set up. Behind the stage was a huge promotional backdrop with the bold words "Peak Group" written on it.
All around the stage were festive red lanterns, with colorful ribbons wrapped around the lampposts, creating a vibrant scene from afar.
Seeing the impressive setup, San and the others were delighted.
With this inaugural success, Peak Group would surely secure a place in Wanghai City.
Fang and others waited under the stage for Wang Yan to arrive.
However, in their excitement, they failed to notice that another stage had been set up not far from Peak Group's stage.
Moreover, this stage was even grander, more majestic, with red carpets laid down, and flags flapping on all sides, making it more spectacular.
Yet, on the backdrop of this stage, covered by a red silk cloth, although there was a huge board, it was concealed.
On top of this stage stood a flamboyant and alluring woman. Despite her beauty, her revealing attire and sultry demeanor were striking.
This woman was Zhao Xinyao.
At this moment, Zhao Xinyao looked at Fang and the others across the way, a mocking expression in her eyes, thinking to herself, "I've already investigated; Wang Yan's subordinates are just a bunch of rabble from the slums. How can these people even think about competing with Gangzhe Group? I wonder why the president is so worried."
With a proud look on her face, Zhao Xinyao slowly walked towards the stage, approaching San, Li, and the others, and said lightly, "Everyone, are you having your ribbon-cutting today?"
San, Li, and the others turned around and saw a glamorous woman beside them; they did not suspect anything and quickly replied, "Yes."
Zhao Xinyao nodded and asked, "I wonder, who is your boss?"
San and the others were about to shake their heads when they suddenly saw Wang Yan approaching from afar with Ma Jun. San was delighted, pointing at Wang Yan, he said, "That's our boss."
Zhao Xinyao saw from afar and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Your boss is really thrifty, even walking over without taking a car. Could it be that he can't afford a ticket? The poor are always poor."
Hearing this, San and the others noticed the disdain on Zhao Xinyao's face, each turning solemn, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Xinyao sneered and said, "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is you look at the stage behind me."
Saying this, Zhao Xinyao pointed at the stage behind her, where the red silk cloth had already been unveiled, revealing an even larger backdrop that almost covered half the plaza, with the dominant words "Gangzhe Group" written on it.
