"CEO Cheng, isn't it a bit too fast for me to become a vice president directly? When you called me 'President Yang' yesterday, that made me feel so ashamed, unworthy of receiving such an unearned reward. I've just arrived at Shanhaiguan, it's not suitable for me to take on the vice president role immediately."
Yang Yuan's response was actually quite normal, and it wasn't some clichéd modesty. He was simply telling the truth.
In Yang Yuan's eyes, he was fully capable of doing good work first and then climbing up the ladder. There was no need to start off in a position that might easily cause envy among others.
After over a decade at Dongxin, Yang Yuan had had enough of the painful palace politics; he wanted to work earnestly and gain recognition from others based on his capabilities.
He didn't want to be the king of any hill; he just wanted to be a worker who earned what he deserved.
