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

"Please call me Deputy Director Jin."

Xiao Jin spoke with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?"

Tong Wenjie asked Xiao Jin in surprise.

"Sister Tong, there was a project you were in charge of that was signed off without proper review. I was the one who discovered the mistake and resolved it."

"The company appointed me to replace you in your position. Considering that you have worked hard even if you haven't made any great contributions, we are only demoting you to my assistant."

"Oh, by the way, the CFO is Sister Jenny; she was appointed today."

Xiao Jin revealed that the two had switched positions, and also the news that Jenny had become the financial director.

"This, this is impossible!"

"I've personally reviewed all those documents, so..."

Tong Wenjie naturally didn't believe she had made a mistake at work, but then she remembered that Fang Yifan had gotten into a fight with Ji Yangyang at school that day, and then Li Meng had called her to the school.

She didn't have time for the follow-up work that day, so she asked Xiao Jin to help her finish up. Xiao Jin said that she was too tired from taking care of her child and didn't notice anything.

"You did it, didn't you? Why did you want to hurt me!"

Tong Wenjie questioned Xiao Jin sternly.

"Sister Tong, what you're saying is your mistake at work, how can you blame me?"

Xiao Jin naturally wouldn't leave any room for gossip and directly denied the matter.

"Alright, Sister Tong, pack your things. This office is mine from now on."

Seeing Tong Wenjie's dazed look, Xiao Jin felt no remorse and started to kick her out.

Xiao Jin isn't just pursuing this deputy director position anymore; she has bigger dreams.

It all started last night...

Last night, after meeting with Jenny, Yang Ke gave her the requirements for becoming the CFO, and also said that if Jenny was unwilling, he could give it to Tong Wenjie.

Jenny, who was already annoyed by Xiao Jin's talk about Tong Wenjie, naturally became very compliant when she saw her boss's handsome appearance.

Jenny didn't resist, so why would Xiao Jin refuse? Thus, both of them got what they wanted.

Not only did they receive high-ranking positions, but Yang Ke also gave them a lot of money, after all, he wanted the two of them to show off in front of Tong Wenjie, so that Tong Wenjie would bow down when there was a comparison.

Last night, Xiao Jin developed an ambition to report to the boss more often and try to get promoted.

Tong Wenjie was unaware of all this. Her mind was in turmoil. In a daze, she gathered her belongings, left the office, and went to Xiao Jin's old post.

Seeing her colleagues' furtive discussions, Tong Wenjie felt even more ashamed.

However, the pain on one's face is only part of the problem; the greater burden comes from economic pressure.

Keep in mind that her previous salary was around 4 yuan, but now her assistant earns just over 1 yuan.

The key is that Fang Yuan was also laid off. Suddenly, their family's income dropped by 7%, and their livelihood is in jeopardy.

"It's impossible that one mistake of mine allowed Jenny and Kim to rise to power. There must be other things I don't know about."

"No, I need to ask the general manager. If we're going to lose, we need to understand why."

Tong Wenjie was no little girl after all, and she quickly realized that she must have lost somewhere else, and it certainly wasn't because of work.

After all, she's already a deputy director. How could she be demoted for a single mistake? If it were a serious problem, Tong Wenjie would accept it, but this mistake was just a minor one. At most, she would get a warning and wouldn't be able to get promoted, but it shouldn't warrant a demotion.

After putting her things away, Tong Wenjie went to the general manager's office immediately, but the manager's secretary said that the manager was away on a business trip and would not return for three days.

Upon learning that she was indeed going on a business trip, Tong Wenjie naturally had nothing more to say and could only return to her post, continuing her awkward situation.

"Xiao Tong, please handle these documents carefully. I need them urgently, so they have to be done today."

As soon as Tong Wenjie returned to her post, Jenny immediately tossed her several documents.

This title made Tong Wenjie a little angry, after all, she was the one who had the final say at home, and the two of them used to have the same position.

But just as she was about to lose her temper, Tong Wenjie thought of her family's situation, and her words turned into a clenched, angry reply.

Jenny smiled and stopped tormenting Tong Wenjie.

The main reason is that she's much more sophisticated than Xiao Jin. Knowing that the young boss has feelings for Tong Wenjie, she naturally wouldn't want to offend him too much.

With gritted teeth, Tong Wenjie finally finished the work Jenny had given her at 6:30 p.m. Looking at the empty office area, Tong Wenjie was silent for a moment, then packed her things and started to go home.

"Mom, Auntie, you're back."

Fang Yifan and Lin Leier were watching TV in the living room when they saw Tong Wenjie come home and greeted her.

"Ah."

Tong Wenjie wasn't in the mood to say anything to the two of them. Anyway, they couldn't help much, and it wouldn't be good if she said anything and made them worry, affecting their studies.

"Honey, why are you home so late? How's the CFO job going? Any news?"

Fang Yuan was not at work and was quite relaxed. He had just set a big meal on the table when he saw Tong Wenjie return, so he asked her a question.

After all, that position was obtained by sacrificing his work, and if Tong Wenjie were promoted, their family's life would be much better.

"I'm tired, let's eat."

Seeing Fang Yuan's expectant look, Tong Wenjie was too embarrassed to say anything and could only give a perfunctory answer.

She had only made the promise of being the CFO after listening to the general manager's empty promises, which led to Fang Yuan being included in the layoffs.

Otherwise, Fang Yuan wouldn't have thought that he, as a company veteran, would be laid off, so naturally he would be concerned about this topic.

"Oh, it's okay. You just finished your project, so it's normal for you to get promoted in a few days."

Fang Yuan thought Tong Wenjie was highly valued by the company, which was why she was working so late in the meeting. Little did he know that his words had ignited Tong Wenjie's anger.

"Fang Yuan, come into the room."

Tong Wenjie, with a sullen face, called Fang Yuan into the room, unaware that Fang Yifan and Lin Leier overheard their conversation.

"what happened?"

Fang Yuan didn't think much of it and asked Tong Wenjie in surprise as soon as he entered the room.

"call."

"I was demoted today."

Tong Wenjie took a deep breath and then told everyone about her demotion that day.

"Demotion? You're kidding, honey. How could you possibly be demoted? Hehe..."

Fang Yuan chuckled at first, but seeing Tong Wenjie's expression, he also laughed.

"Honey, what happened?! Didn't you say just a few days ago you were going to be promoted to CFO? I was laid off because of you and became the laughingstock of the company, how can you be demoted!"

Not to mention Tong Wenjie couldn't accept it, Fang Yuan felt the same way, his tone full of doubt.

"Calm down."

Tong Wenjie was already feeling wronged at work. She had worked overtime all day and was hoping Fang Yuan would comfort her when she got home. Instead, she was questioned, which made her lose her temper.

"Calm down? How can I calm down! I'm the one who got laid off, and you were demoted! Is this any way to live?"

"What were you thinking back then? Using your husband as a sacrifice, and you ended up getting demoted instead!"

Fang Yuan was already upset, and now, thinking about the family's future financial situation, he temporarily forgot that Tong Wenjie, the shrew, was in front of him and began to complain about his grievances.
