Winnie Wyatt’s face turned white in an instant. "Director Sinclair, that’s not what I meant—" "Then what do you mean?" Shane Sinclair’s retort left everyone present holding their breath; no one dared to speak up for Winnie Wyatt. Nobody expected that Shane Sinclair would so openly and directly side with Evelyn Clayton. Winnie Wyatt’s embarrassment was almost written all over her face, her complexion alternating between green and white, unable to speak for a long time. Seeing this, Evelyn Clayton lightly coughed and spoke up, "Director Sinclair, since Vice Director Wyatt has doubts, I think the position of vice director should be announced after a competition." Shane Sinclair looked at Evelyn Clayton, their eyes met, and Evelyn subtly shook her head. Understanding Evelyn Clayton’s intention, Shane was still somewhat displeased. The vice director position should have been Evelyn Clayton’s in the first place. She’s his sister; does the promotion of a family member require others’ approval? Seeing Shane Sinclair silent for a while, Evelyn knew what he was thinking, so she continued, "Of course, I personally am also very interested in the vice director position." Saying this, Evelyn Clayton leisurely looked around the room, "But there may be quite a few here who think they can handle this position. If that’s the case, then let’s have a competition." Internal selection should be based on past performance and work results. Although Evelyn Clayton’s presence in the company has been intermittent over the years, she is quite confident in her achievements. Even if, in the end, someone more excellent than her emerges through comparison, Evelyn would gladly accept it. After all, in matters like these, it’s best to see who is more suitable and who can bring more benefits to the company.

"Let’s talk about the competition after the shareholders’ meeting," Shane Sinclair said and then stood up to leave. The people in the conference room left in groups of three and five, with only Winnie Wyatt and Evelyn Clayton still sitting in place, not moving for a moment. Evelyn Clayton looked at Winnie Wyatt, smiling slightly, "Vice Director Wyatt, care to walk together?" Winnie Wyatt raised her eyes to meet her gaze, biting her lip softly, her eyes full of hostility towards Evelyn Clayton. It was the first time Winnie Wyatt showed such obvious hostility towards Evelyn Clayton. Evelyn Clayton remained calm, "I guess you have something to say to me." Winnie Wyatt gritted her teeth for a long time, her voice hoarse, "Shannon, don’t get cocky." Evelyn Clayton raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean by that? I’ve never been cocky." "Really?" Winnie Wyatt let out a cold laugh, "What did you rely on to rise to power? Do you really think others don’t know? You haven’t managed the jewelry department much over the years, and even if your past achievements were high, it’s not a reason for you to hold onto the position of the department director!" Evelyn Clayton let out a laugh, "Did you misunderstand something? I’ve never held onto this position." Pausing briefly, Evelyn Clayton calmly said, "Rather, there’s no one else in the entire jewelry department with better performance or more design talent than me." Seeing Winnie Wyatt’s increasingly resentful eyes, Evelyn Clayton gave a gentle smile. "If you were that person, I believe Director Sinclair would handle it impartially and appoint you as the director." Winnie Wyatt suddenly stood up, gritting her teeth and growling, "That’s not how it is at all! Stop bragging about yourself! If it weren’t for your relationship with Director Sinclair—" "Relationship?" Evelyn Clayton interrupted Winnie Wyatt with a smile, "What kind of relationship do you think I have with Director Sinclair? Vice Director Wyatt, you should be careful with your words. If you spread rumors casually, I might let it slide, but Director Sinclair might not."
