Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Liu Jingze picked up a piece of beef for Su Tiantian and said, "Eat something first, otherwise it will be time to go to work at two o'clock soon."
Gu Yiyuan said, "It's okay. Sister Tiantian's work schedule these days is to accompany me to familiarize myself with the company's procedures. She can come back to the company later. I will notify Mr. Lai. It's rare for us to meet so happily. Let's have a good chat."
Su Tiantian ate the beef before saying seriously, "Master Yuan, I want to ask you a question. I remember when you were Yi Yi, you said you had a foster sister. Now that you are Master Yuan, is your foster sister real?
He Yiyuan seemed a little sad and said, "It seems that Sister Tiantian doesn't quite believe what I said. Sister Qi is of course telling the truth."
Su Tiantian said, "When you first came to our company's business department for an internship, concealing your identity, President Lai claimed you were the younger brother of Miss Lai's driver, Qin Yiyi. He told you to do moderate work and not ask for any performance-based commissions or special treatment, just a steady job. He also said if your work ability wasn't up to par, you'd be fired. He said he was only giving you a job because of Driver Qin's plea to Miss Lai. When I mentioned your family matters before, you always brushed it off and never elaborated."
He Yiyuan said, "I find it strange, too. Purchasing Manager Wang's wife works for the head office, as does Vice President Huang's wife. They have a lot of people trying to curry favor with them, yet you've always treated them fairly. At the time, I was just the driver's younger brother. Why were you and Brother Rong so nice to me? I'm sure Fourth Brother Lai wouldn't reveal anything without my consent."
Su Tiantian said, "When you first came, everyone in the company probably had a good impression of you. The good ones thought you were tall and strong, while the bad ones thought you were fat and ugly. But I was impressed by you as young and cute, with those round dimples at the corners of your mouth that would appear when you spoke. Your face was white and chubby, and you looked like a sensible boy."
He Yiyuan said: "I know how others evaluate me, but I didn't expect that Sister Tiantian would come across as a sensible boy."
Su Tiantian said, "You've only been here for a few days. Do you still remember when Brother Rong and I signed a 5 million order from Mr. Lan?"
Gu Yiyuan picked up a piece of bitter melon and said, "Remember."
Su Tiantian smiled bitterly: "You loved gossip the most at that time, so you should know how some people in the company said I won this order, right?"
Gu Yiyuan said, "They're just jealous, and they're using all means to slander you and Brother Rong. But as far as I know, in order to sign Mr. Lan's order, you and Brother Rong canceled and changed your tickets at the airport three times, and even upgraded to first class at your own expense, just to get two hours of one-on-one time with him on the plane to explain the company's business advantages. Furthermore, you signed up for a Chinese dim sum course at your own expense just to get to know Mrs. Lan, and you didn't get back to the apartment until 10:30 every night after class."
Su Tiantian said: "It wasn't at our own expense. Later, Vice President Xu applied for reimbursement for these expenses for us."
Gu Yiyuan said, "Brother Lai said that such a positive and hardworking employee has tenacity and professional qualities. It turns out that his eldest sister's judgment of people is correct."
Su Tiantian said, "Boss Lan loves to drink, and he can drink a lot. That night, you drank a lot. Boss Lan said you must be able to drink since you're big, but he said I don't need to drink since I'm a girl. Your eyes, which are usually calm and a bit innocent, became blurry and a bit helpless after drinking, but I knew you weren't drunk."
Gu Yiyuan said: "How do you know I'm not drunk?"
Su Tiantian said, "Just because I've been following Vice President Xu since my internship before I graduated from college, just because I've been on business trips with Manager Bai so often, just because I have a father who loves drinking and a group of friends who love drinking, you're not simple, and neither am I. You're working for work, and I'm working for work too, so why not just get along?"
Gu Yiyuan said meaningfully, "The three sisters of the Lai family are all very smart and capable. The sister-in-law that Fourth Brother Lai married is also smart and capable. They naturally have good vision. Otherwise, you wouldn't have risen from an office clerk to Manager Su of the sales department. There are many people with more qualifications than you. Sister Tiantian, I really admire you. Don't think I always call people "brother" or "sister". It depends on the person."
Su Tiantian said, "Director Kuang is your adopted sister, right?"
Gu Yiyuan smiled knowingly: "It's best if the person in charge of finance is one of our own, right? When we cooperate on a business, we always send our own people, right? But how do you know she is my adopted sister?"
Su Tiantian rubbed her forehead tiredly and said, "When they were arguing, they forgot that I, a sales manager, could understand English. They even left the door open. President Lai, Vice President Xu, and Director Kuang all returned from studying abroad, so the company didn't have a full-time translator for foreign trade staff. But General Manager Luo didn't. He asked the companies he manages to hire one, so we just started looking, but we haven't found anyone we like yet, and Vice President Xu asked to interview him personally."
Gu Yiyuan said, "I heard that Mr. Luo's people missed an order, but you signed it."
Su Tiantian said, "Yes, the deposit has been remitted, and Director Kuang has confirmed receipt. Master Yuan, you have a foster sister, and I also have a foster sister. My feud with Secretary Luo is related to the foster sister. Are you willing to listen?"
