Its me who won again.
Lin Yuxin thought.
Suddenly a cold gust of wind hit her face, and it was the assistant who helped her open the cabin door. Outside were the noisy voices of people waiting to pick up passengers, including the media.
Lin Yan tightened her coat, her eyes fixed on the pair of Prada red-soled high-heeled boots on her feet, feeling a bit hesitant. She was very afraid of the cold, and wearing single boots in this weather was really not wise, but those winter boots were all so clumsy and heavy... Maybe she should choose an airplane with a gangway, one that went from the cabin door to indoors, and then drive the car to the arrival gate... Ah no, how could private planes possibly have gangways?! Ah, it seemed like private planes shouldnt be arranged after all, they looked luxurious but were actually quite inconvenient...
Lin Yanshen took a deep breath and stood up. Anyway, she had always been the kind of woman who attached great importance to appearances, and such proud women would have to suffer a little... especially today, when she had to maintain this appearance on her first day as the president of the South China branch.
At the moment she stepped out of the cabin door, as expected, she heard cheers. The kind that came from peoples worship, passion, fawning, and flattery, the kind that made her feel like a queen, the most dazzling and radiant spotlight. Reporters swarmed up the gangway, cameras flashing in front of her, three or four microphones thrust forward only to be pushed away by bodyguards... Lin Yan had always liked this scene, she smiled calmly as usual, head held high, gazing at everything with a hint of indifference.
But not everyone was welcoming her - in the corner on the right, there were three middle-aged women whispering to each other. "How could it be her! Shes too young, not even thirty yet..." "The one who was supposed to get the position was Director Wang! We all knew that..." "What do you know! Director Wang was cut off by the auditing department because of unclear accounts! This Lin looks weak and gentle, but she has a heart more ruthless than anyone. Our future days wont be easy..."
In order to sit in this district mayors seat, Lin Yan dare not say that she is very clean - even she can only say that she is more shameless than others.
But... whats the difference? In the business world, its not about good or evil, only winning or losing.
In short, it is she who has stepped down from the plane, rather than Wang and none of her former rivals.
She raised her chin, looking down at the crowd with a condescending gaze. No matter what you think of me in your hearts, I have won, I am the CEO here, I am the South China CEO of this global top 23 multinational company... This is an unchangeable fact, and you can only obey from now on. Her inner pride and complacency made her chin rise higher and higher, a habitual gesture that had been formed over the years.
She just lifted her chin and walked down the gangway.
A wave of applause rose, and it was unclear who started it. But Lin Yuen liked it very much.
Suddenly, her foot slipped.
Her body fell forward uncontrollably, she exclaimed and tried to grab the assistants hand, but it was too late. She watched with her eyes wide open as the protruding stairs enlarged in front of her, time almost stagnated at this moment, yet she could not make any valuable move to stop her falling body.
She instinctively stretched out her hands to support herself in front, but she was not a person who excelled at sports, and the strength of those arms was no different from that of an ordinary weak little girl. From the perspective of the people under the ladder, she simply fell off the ladder abruptly and thoroughly.
A loud "boom" sounded in her ear, followed by a sharp pain on her forehead. In the moment before she lost consciousness, Lin Yuen thought to herself:
"Its all over. On my first day in office, my press conference, my headline, my image!!!!!!"
