Chapter 208 Vigorous Salesmanship

Zheng Haiyang was unaware that he was being watched, and that his every move was being observed.

Ever since Qi Baifan agreed to that matter, he has been in a good mood, fantasizing about how he would take advantage of Director Wang's influence and use his relationship to the maximum extent to benefit himself after they returned to their previous state.

This time he couldn't be as foolish as before. Who knew when Director Wang would change his mind? He had to make the most of this resource while he still could.

Only tangible benefits are truly beneficial.

Zheng Haiyang had made a plan and was just waiting for the weekend to take Qi Baifan to Director Wang's place.

On Sunday, he took Qi Baifan, who looked stunning after being dressed up, and carried expensive gifts such as cigarettes and alcohol to Director Wang's house.

Originally, Zheng Haiyang was not allowed to enter the room. It was only after he stepped back and pushed Qi Baifan forward, revealing his handsome, refined face that Director Wang allowed the two of them to enter.

Director Wang's wife passed away long ago, and his children don't live here either, so his house is quite empty, which makes it convenient for him to do some things.

"Hey, isn't this our Comrade Zheng Haiyang? What brings you to my little place?"

"This is truly an honor to have you here!"

Director Wang sat on the sofa with a sullen face, looking at the two people standing in front of him and speaking in a sarcastic tone.

If it weren't for the fact that the young man behind him was quite to his liking, he wouldn't have let that bastard Zheng Haiyang into the house.

Zheng Haiyang was obviously aware of this as well. He bowed slightly and smiled ingratiatingly, "Director, please don't make fun of me. I'm here to apologize to you. I'm really sorry about what happened last time. I really didn't expect those two to do such a thing."

Director Wang scoffed, "Apologize? What crime could a smart man like you have committed?"

Zheng Haiyang bowed even lower, his tone even more humble, "Please don't say that. It's all my fault for misjudging people, causing Director Wang to suffer an undeserved disaster."

"The two of them mainly wanted to get revenge on me, but they didn't expect that you would also be dragged into this and suffer."

"It's all my fault, and I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness. I just hope that you can forgive me for this small token of my appreciation."

After saying that, he winked at Qi Baifan behind him, signaling him to carry the things forward.

Qi Baifan tried his best to remain natural, and stepped forward with a smile to greet him, "Hello, Director Wang!"

Zheng Haiyang said with a fawning and suggestive tone, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Everyone present knew exactly what "heartfelt intention" meant.

Director Wang's beady eyes sizing up Zheng Haiyang and then Qi Baifan, his gaze narrowing slightly.

The room was very quiet.

Qi Baifan could even hear his own heart pounding.

His palms were sweating with nervousness, and he lowered his head even further.

I kept reassuring myself that it was all for work, all for work!

He'd do anything to get a permanent position!

After a long while, Director Wang finally looked away.

His expression softened a little. "I'm not one to make things difficult for anyone. Since you're so sincere, Xiao Zheng, I should give you a chance."

Zheng Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Baifan also relaxed completely.

"Sit down, you and this young comrade should both sit down."

Zheng Haiyang led Qi Baifan to sit down on the sofa opposite.

Director Wang crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa in a languid posture, but his gaze remained fixed on Qi Baifan.

He chuckled and said:

"Young comrade, don't be afraid. I have a very good temper. I don't usually like to get angry with people."

"What's your name? How old are you? Which company do you work for?"

"Who else lives in your family? What are their hobbies?"

Zheng Haiyang nudged Qi Baifan, urging him to answer properly.

Qi Baifan naturally understood his meaning, adjusted his glasses, and answered Director Wang's questions one by one.

Finally, he added, "I heard you're short of some young people to do the work. I graduated from high school and currently write articles frequently at my workplace. My writing skills are quite good, and I hope I can be of service to you."

Director Wang squinted at Qi Baifan's face for a long while.

I could see the ambition that he couldn't hide in his eyes.

"I do need more people here, but it's not just about writing articles; there are other things to do too..."

Director Wang gave a meaningful smile to his obese face.

"Young man, you'd better think this through. I don't like to force people."

It wouldn't be good if they didn't want to cause trouble.

Qi Baifan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly pledged his loyalty, vowing to serve Director Wang to the death and never cause trouble.

Zheng Haiyang also spoke up in support.

In short, what the two were trying to express was the same thing: they were willing to stay by Director Wang's side and serve him, and as for how they would be used, that was up to Director Wang to decide.

With the two men's enthusiastic persuasion, Director Wang decided to keep Qi Baifan on the job.

They reluctantly arranged a guest room for Zheng Haiyang so he could rest.

From now on, let things take their natural course.

Zheng Haiyang lay in bed, in a very good mood.

Phew, I've finally gotten through this hurdle.

Before coming, he was quite unsure of himself, fearing that Director Wang would look down on Qi Baifan.

Luckily, this kid has a good face.

The people inside the house were unaware that a pair of eyes were watching them from not far away.

Zhu Ziqiang squatted down and moved his legs, which were already sore and numb, then rubbed his frozen hands and breathed on them.

"Damn it, why isn't it out yet!"

He had been following Zheng Haiyang and Qi Baifan all day, and it was only with great difficulty that he finally managed to get them to the outside of a small courtyard.

Fearing being discovered by the people inside, Zhu Ziqiang dared not approach any further and could only keep watch from a distance.

But he waited and waited, until it got dark, but the two still didn't come out.

Staring at the quiet alley, Zhu Ziqiang suddenly laughed, "Zheng Haiyang, you've really crossed the line."

That night, some people were going through dire straits, some were looking forward to the future, and some were making all sorts of plans.
