Time flies, and Monday is here in the blink of an eye.
Ye Linchen left home early in the morning to attend the company's morning meeting.
When I arrived at the company, it was still early.
Apart from the company's long-term employees who were busy in the office, none of the new employees had arrived yet.
Manager Zhang came out to wash the teacups and saw Ye Linchen, so he greeted her with a smile.
"Xiao Ye, you're here so early. Come in and have a seat."
He treated Ye Linchen very well, just like a parent, without any airs of a leader.
Ye Linchen happened to have something to say to him, so she followed him into the office.
Just as I sat down, Xu, the personnel manager, came in.
She was quite excited.
"Xiao Ye, I heard from Manager Zhang that you landed a title sponsor? That's amazing, I really underestimated you."
Ye Linchen smiled faintly.
"Sister Xu, you flatter me. I was just a little lucky. This success is also thanks to Manager Zhang's guidance and help."
Manager Zhang felt very comfortable with the flattery, and he took a paper cup and poured water for Ye Linchen.
"I still have a while before it's time to go to work, let me have some hot water to warm myself up first."
Xu, the HR manager, hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ye, have you had breakfast? I have some biscuits over there."
"Thank you, Sister Xu, I've already eaten."
Ye Linchen took the water glass and said to Manager Zhang, "Manager Zhang, our school is about to start make-up classes, so I would like to ask for leave from the upcoming morning meeting."
Manager Zhang agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, study hard and do your best to prepare for the college entrance examination."
Xu Renshi also said, "Xiao Ye, you will definitely get into university. I believe in you."
She said with a gloating laugh, "We didn't tell anyone about you getting the sponsorship. We wanted to announce it at the morning meeting so that Old Li could pay you back the bet money on the spot."
"I'll be there too, and I won't let Lao Li renege on his debt," Manager Zhang said.
That was Ye Linchen's plan.
Salary will be paid on the 20th of this month, and commission will be paid along with salary, but Li Ming's gambling money will be in his hands immediately.
Ye Linchen planned to use the money to buy two pieces of clothing and some study materials.
Now that he has the support of two company executives, it's impossible for Li Ming to renege on his debts.
Ye Linchen found it amusing to watch the two of them so enthusiastic, as if they were enjoying the spectacle.
I suspect Li Ming isn't a very good person.
Otherwise, I'd love to see him get his comeuppance.
With the start of the workday approaching, Ye Linchen got up and left Manager Zhang's office, heading to the conference room.
He found his usual seat and sat down, waiting for the morning meeting to begin.
One by one, my colleagues arrived.
Chen Meiqi and Wang Li arrived together. They greeted Ye Linchen and found seats.
A few minutes later, Li Ming appeared in the conference room.
As soon as he arrived, more than a dozen new employees were already there.
After Li Ming entered, he did not sit down, but stood on the podium and provocatively addressed Ye Linchen.
"Xiao Ye, it's been a week already, have you secured any sponsorship yet? You haven't even seen a glimpse of a sponsor, have you?"
Chen Meiqi covered her mouth and chuckled, then kindly advised, "Brother Li, please say less. This young lady is easily embarrassed; she can't take your words."
"If you can't get sponsorship, then prepare 500 yuan beforehand. Don't come crying to yourself later saying you don't have any."
Wang Li sighed, "Sigh, five hundred yuan is no small amount for a newcomer. Xiao Ye, why don't you plead with Brother Li and ask him to be lenient and let you off the hook?"
Li Ming picked up on her words, his smile lewd.
"Xiao Ye, if you really don't have any money, just call me 'good brother.' If I'm in a better mood, maybe this debt will be wiped clean. How about it? Think about it. I really can't bear to push you too far."
In the corner, Xiao Xu whispered to Lao Zhao.
"Brother Li is going too far. He's clearly bullying the newcomer."
Old Zhao said in a low voice, "Who can blame them for being capable and having good performance? In this line of work, performance is what matters."
Ye Linchen sat in his seat, watching Li Ming direct and act out his own performance, and found it amusing.
This guy is such a drama queen; even if I ignore him, he can still put on a great show all by himself.
She asked casually, "Have you secured any sponsorships yet? Wait until you have, then you can worry about me."
Li Ming proudly raised his head.
"That's not difficult at all. Several sponsors are pursuing me for sponsorship, but the amounts are too small for me to accept. I'm only going for title sponsors!"
Xiao Zhou immediately shattered his dream.
"Brother Li, don't even think about it. I heard from Manager Zhang that we already have a title sponsor."
Li Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is that possible? I didn't even manage to get one, who could be faster than me? Is it because of Manager Zhang's connections?"
Xiao Zhou shook his head: "It was a new employee who brought it in himself."
Li Ming still couldn't believe it: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, a newcomer couldn't possibly be this good."
He looked around, his gaze settling on Old Zhao. "Old Zhao, did you poop there?"
Old Zhao quickly waved his hand, looking completely innocent.
"You've wronged me. I don't have that ability. I'm wondering which newcomer is so capable that they snatched our big prize as soon as they arrived."
For everyone present, a commission of 25,000 yuan was like a big, juicy piece of meat, glistening with oil and exuding a fragrant aroma—everyone wanted to put it in their own bowl.
Now that this juicy piece of meat has grown wings and flown into someone else's bowl, everyone naturally feels sorry.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became lively, with everyone speculating about who had secured the title sponsor.
"Xiao Zhou, aren't you the new employee? It must be you."
