Chapter 81 Frustration

You learn from your mistakes; heaven knows how he spent eight or nine hours yesterday!

Ever since he put on that earring, his face has been burning hot, and even Manager Qin asked him if he was sick!

He really didn't dare to think about what would happen if he complimented the dress and Chen Jingyang's thing heard him!

Jin Zhenzhen—no!—should be said to be all women, in Chen Jingyang's eyes, are tigers, and must be avoided!

However, perhaps fate couldn't bear to keep torturing him, so it reluctantly added a little sweetness to his life.

This little bit of sugar comes from Guo Chengdong.

Around 10 a.m., he received a call from Guo Chengdong, who excitedly reported his achievements:

"Pengfei, I love you to death! You're fucking awesome! You know what? I was thinking of making a few minor changes to the analysis report you sent before sending it out, but when I read it, oh my god!"

Guo Chengdong didn't think he was exaggerating at all: "How can I change this! It's too perfect! So I didn't change a single word and sent it directly to our boss. Guess what he said?"

Zhang Pengfei smiled and said, "Well, how so?"

He said, "Guo Chengdong, you're really something! No wonder you graduated from Peking University's law program! Your analysis report is impeccable, especially those last few sentences of your defense—they're brilliant! Starting today, you're officially a full-time employee!"

Excellent arguments are one of the core factors influencing the course of a case. If emotions can be empathized with, and the judge can agree on the "reasonableness of the infringement of rights," it can even directly determine the probability of achieving the litigation objective!

Guo Chengdong laughed heartily a few times: "Pengfei, make some time for me this weekend, I'll treat you to dinner, we have to celebrate!"

Just as Zhang Pengfei was about to reply, his phone suddenly beeped. He looked and saw it was Director Wang calling. He quickly said, "Okay, I have to go now. I have another call coming in. We'll talk later. Bye!"

Director Wang of the Administration Department is in his forties, a typical middle-aged greasy man. He is not tall but has a big belly, and he has little hair but a bad temper. Even Manager Qin is trembling with fear when he sees him.

"Director Wang, hello."

"Zhang Pengfei, go to the airport now and pick up the client. I've sent the details to your phone."

He paused for a moment: "Take that 350 van and take the clients directly to the Garden Hotel. The rooms have already been booked. After they finish eating, take them to conference room 002 on the top floor for a meeting. The meeting starts at three o'clock. Tell Zhao Tianming and Jin Zhenzhen to prepare fruit and flowers."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Pengfei checked his phone and saw a message from Director Wang: the client's flight was scheduled to land at 11:30, but it was already 10:15. If there was traffic, they might not make it in time.

He called back to express his concerns, but Director Wang impatiently snapped at him, "Can't you drive faster?! They still need to get their luggage after landing, so they won't be out until at least midnight. What's so late about that!"

That's a good idea, but the problem is, the customer's plane arrived early!

Moreover, the client was an impatient person. As soon as he asked if the car that was supposed to pick them up was still on its way, he took a taxi directly to the hotel. Zhang Pengfei only found out when he arrived at the airport that the client had already left on his own!

He rushed to the hotel, only to find that the client hadn't checked in at all!

Helpless, Zhang Pengfei had no choice but to call the customer to ask what was going on, but to his surprise, the customer hung up on him this time and didn't answer at all!

Well... he had no choice but to call Director Wang, but Director Wang didn't answer!

Then I'll have to go back to the company and see what's going on.

He had just parked his car when his phone rang. It was Zhao Tianming calling.

"Pengfei, what's going on? Wasn't the meeting supposed to be at 3 PM? Why was it moved to 2 PM without us being notified?"

Zhang Pengfei was completely bewildered: "I didn't know the meeting was moved up! Nobody told me!"

Zhao Tianming clicked his tongue and said, "Damn it! Director Wang just gave Jin Zhenzhen and me a good scolding. You should come straight to the top floor when you get back; the meeting has already started."

What exactly is going on?

Zhang Pengfei went to the top floor, completely bewildered, and ran into Manager Qin as soon as he got off the elevator.

Manager Qin quickly stopped him: "Pengfei, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell Director Wang that you didn't receive the client?!"

That one sentence completely stunned Zhang Pengfei!

"Manager Qin, when I arrived at the airport, I called the client, and they said they had already taken a taxi to the hotel and asked me to pick them up directly from the hotel. But when I got to the hotel, I found out that the client hadn't gone to the hotel at all!"

"Sigh!" Manager Qin frowned, somewhat speechless. "So, the client must have changed their mind on the way here. They came straight to the company, saying they needed to finish the meeting quickly and go back!"

"Didn't they tell Director Wang?"

Manager Qin scoffed, frowning and laughing, "Are you stupid? The client is here to discuss business, how could they possibly be dealing with Director Wang!"

That was supposed to be the communication with the account manager, but the account manager didn't relay the information to them, so even though everyone had arrived at the company, the meeting room wasn't ready yet.

Manager Qin looked at Zhang Pengfei, who seemed hesitant to speak, and after much deliberation, finally said, "Director Wang is quite angry this time. General Manager Lin from the Marketing Department thinks that our department's employees are not doing their jobs well and are too lax. The meeting room should be ready at any time for any eventuality, instead of being prepared only at specific times."

She sighed: "Anyway, when you see Director Wang later, be nice to him, admit your mistake first and then make a promise. Don't try to argue, okay?"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Manager Qin."

Zhang Pengfei stood there for several seconds, reviewing the whole incident from beginning to end. How should I put it?

There is no solution.

Is he wrong?

There's an error!

He should have informed Director Wang before receiving any clients, so that even if something happened later, Director Wang wouldn't blame him.

To say he's right or wrong is not entirely wrong!

Since the client did tell him to pick them up from the hotel and didn't tell him that the plans had changed, his idea of ​​going directly to the hotel to pick up the client was a perfectly normal reaction.

All I can say is that it was a twist of fate, a cruel twist of destiny.

I went out at around 10 a.m. and returned at around 2 p.m., running around all day without even having lunch. Not only did I achieve nothing, but I also made a bunch of mistakes!

This feeling of frustration that has nowhere to be expressed is truly disheartening.
