Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

Yang Ke went out to learn to drive this time, after all, he is already 18 years old, and it is more convenient to have a car at this time.

Everyone else will take the exam after the college entrance examination, but Yang Ke is not worried about his grades, so he will start taking the exam during this vacation. That way, he can finish the exam and buy a car in August during the summer vacation.

Getting to the driving school was quick; with Yang Ke's financial backing, the instructor also helped him prepare the registration process quickly, and arrangements would be made as soon as Yang Ke was able to take the test.

After getting his driver's license sorted out, Yang Ke went to the bookstore.

After all, to have a photographic memory, you need to have seen and learned it. Fortunately, Yang Ke also has high mental attributes, so he can probably max out his grades in a week.

That way, I'll have something to talk about with Qiao Yingzi, Huang Zhitao, and others.

When Yang Ke got home that evening, he learned about the acquisition process and it should be able to proceed within the next two weeks.

Fang Yuan works for a medical device company. He is a veteran head of the legal department, and his monthly salary is around 2.5 to 3 yuan.

However, his lack of ambition, despite his seniority and high reputation, made his eventual dismissal unsurprising.

Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie are still happy right now. The main thing is that even if Tong Wenjie can't provide Fang Yuan with any conveniences and has to avoid suspicion, he shouldn't be fired even if the company is acquired.

Even knowing that it was Tong Wenjie's company owner who personally funded the acquisition, the two still fantasized about working together.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Ke finally finished studying the test paper at hand, turning his head to look at the kitchen.

"Aunt Song, thank you for your hard work."

Well, ever since that all-night conversation, Song Qian has become less embarrassed. She even made a nourishing soup for Yang Ke after learning that he was preparing to work hard for his senior year of high school.

Well, it's not the original flavor sea cucumber like Qiao Yingzi's. The main reason is that Yang Ke is very domineering and mainly requires Song Qian to prepare it according to his instructions.

In addition, Song Qian was worried that her lack of restraint would weaken Yang Ke's body, so she specially brewed some nourishing soup instead of any strange or unusual soup.

"It's okay, I need to go back and prepare food for Yingzi, so I won't come over to keep you company tonight."

Song Qian, despite Yang Ke's masculine air and his appearance not looking 18, still gave him a brief explanation.

"In that case, we won't drink the soup for now."

Yang Ke smiled wickedly upon hearing Song Qian's words, and then...

After seeing Song Qian off, Yang Ke turned his attention to Tong Wenjie.

However, his gaze wasn't fixed on Tong Wenjie, but on her assistant, Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin is Tong Wenjie's assistant. Tong Wenjie has been training Xiao Jin for many years, and Tong Wenjie has always trusted her.

Another one is Jenny, who actually looks the same as Mrs. Wang before, and Yang Ke is quite interested in her.

Yang Ke recruited these two people: one to replace the CFO, and the other to be the deputy CFO.

After receiving a call from the company's general manager saying that the new boss wanted to meet them, the two women excitedly went to the meeting place immediately.

"boss?"

Xiao Jin and Jenny hesitated a bit when they saw Yang Ke's appearance, thinking he was the boss's son.

"Yes, no doubt about it, I am your company's new boss."

"The main reason I called you here today is to discuss the recent acquisition of the medical equipment company that our company has taken on."

“I heard that Tong Wenjie is married to the head of the legal department of that company, which makes me very unhappy. How could they arrange it like this? What if it harms our company’s interests?”

"I just took over the company and I'm planning to replace some of the staff. You two are the CFO and deputy CFO that I've chosen."

"The prerequisite is that your work performance can highlight something in me, understand?"

Yang Ke stated directly why he had come to see the two of them, without wasting any time.

As for the highlights, it's already been revealed quite clearly.

"Boss, I'm Sister Tong's assistant. I do think she can be quite short-tempered at times, and she's also rather careless in handling things. I'm the one who cleans up after her. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Xiao Jin immediately expressed her opinion, but Jenny did not.

Despite being competitors, Jenny and Tong Wenjie still admire each other's abilities.

However, since the matter involved the CFO, even though Jenny was tempted, she wasn't like Xiao Jin, who was just an assistant and could speak directly.

She planned to keep a close eye on the finance department and Tong Wenjie after returning to the company. If Tong Wenjie made a mistake this time, she could immediately use her to secure her own future.

"Okay, you guys go back and keep a close eye on the finance department for me. The company will still need you in the future."

Yang Ke is quite adept at making empty promises.

Tong Wenjie was of course unaware of these things, since the company's general manager had directly instructed her to bring the two of them out.

At this moment, she was fantasizing about becoming the company's CFO. After all, the CFO was transferred after the new boss arrived, and she took over an important acquisition project.

In Tong Wenjie's view, as long as she does this project well, the position of CFO will be a piece of cake.

Under these circumstances, Tong Wenjie became a little carried away and started making fun of Jenny.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Jin was now on the same side as Jenny, so naturally Xiao Jin recorded these words and showed them to Jenny.

"Xiao Jin, go tell Tong Wenjie that she's just one step away from a promotion, which is to come up with a plan to streamline the workforce."

“I’ve looked at that acquisition project. If she fires her husband, causes a scene within the family, and the boss doesn’t like her, do we still need to compete?”

Jenny is very direct in her thinking.

Just have Xiao Jin talk to Tong Wenjie about her husband, and then have Xiao Jin teach Tong Wenjie to fire her husband. That way, the two of them will definitely argue.

As for how to get Tong Wenjie to do that, that's where Xiao Jin comes in.

"No problem, Jenny, watch me."

Xiao Jin naturally understands Tong Wenjie and knows that she is the one who has the final say at home. If she really has the opportunity to become the CFO, she might actually add Fang Yuan to the layoff list.

The next day, Xiao Jin took action.

"Sister Tong, um, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

When Xiao Jin saw Tong Wenjie, she immediately stammered and seemed a little hesitant.

"Xiao Jin, we're best friends, what can't we say?"

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Tong Wenjie was curious about what Xiao Jin wanted to say to her.

"Sister Tong, other people in the company know that your husband is the head of the legal department in the project you took on."

“I’m worried that the acquiring party will be concerned about your situation and replace you. How can you serve as CFO based on this project then?”

Xiao Jin shared her thoughts.

“That makes sense, but there’s nothing I can do about it. My husband works for that company, and that’s not something I can change.”

Tong Wenjie became nervous when she heard that someone in the company knew about this.

The couple were happy last night, thinking they could get to know Fang Yuan better and give him a chance to prove himself. Little did they know that the problem had now turned out to be with him.

"Okay, Sister Tong, please don't be angry when I tell you."

"Didn't the acquiring company ask you to oversee the layoffs after the acquisition? If you could talk to your brother-in-law, you could get him on the layoff list."

"If you were to betray your own family for the greater good, the company wouldn't think you might harm its interests; they might even think you're selfless and incorruptible for the company's sake. Wouldn't it be easy to become the CFO then?"

Xiao Jin immediately shared her thoughts.

In fact, Yang Ke had told Xiao Jin and Jenny that he wanted to replace Tong Wenjie. He said that if she did this, her husband would lose his job and she would not get any benefit either. But what does this have to do with Xiao Jin?

It was by seizing this opportunity that she was able to get the company boss to demote or fire Tong Wenjie on the grounds that Tong Wenjie couldn't even handle her household chores, and thus she rose to power.
