Ye Xinyue looked at them and said nothing more. She had her own stubborn streak.
'The manager must be doing this because he's about to be demoted,' she guessed. 'The new manager won't play along, so they feel threatened?'
'Are they trying to force me to withdraw from the competition before the new manager takes over?'
"Ye Xinyue, don't make this harder than it has to be! If you withdraw, both Xiao Jia and I will owe you a favor, understand? And these days, a favor is the most valuable thing you can have!"
Ye Xinyue shook her head and spoke again. "In my eyes, only money is useful."
"I already said I'd give you a raise. What more do you want?"
"But if I win the award and get the promotion, the bonus should be more than eight hundred, right?"
"You're insatiably greedy!" the manager said, his face cold and his eyes filled with anger.
"Do you know the consequences of coveting something that doesn't belong to you?"
