Gao Xing walked over and struck up a conversation, using the pretense of offering her a ride. He simply wanted to know what Dong Hongping had discussed with her.
Jian Shiwai didn't beat around the bush. She looked right at him and said, "President Dong said she wants to transfer me to the main branch."
"That's a good thing."
Gao Xing smiled. "Getting promoted to the main branch at your age is incredible. Well, congratulations in advance."
"I haven't agreed yet. I'm still considering it."
Jian Shiwai smiled and asked in return, "Gao Xing, do you think I should go?"
"Young people like you should get out there and make your mark. Your future will be limitless."
Gao Xing replied, "It's not like me. I'm getting on in years. All I can do is contribute what I can from down here and just get by."
What he said wasn't wrong.
His age was a clear factor. It was nearly impossible for him to climb any higher, so what he really wanted was a branch office that he could completely control.
