Bai Jingyuan's heart was in his throat.
Even over the phone, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from the big boss on the other end.
Did I ruin his plans?
Bai Jingyuan glanced at his watch, then slapped his forehead. Damn it! If he were interrupted while he was having fun, he'd want to tear that person to pieces too!
“Third Brother…” he explained with a fawning smile, “If it weren’t for the emergency, I wouldn’t be calling at this hour. I thought you weren’t asleep this early…”
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
Gu Mang gave a low growl of annoyance, turned around and walked to the balcony, slamming the sliding door shut behind him.
"You'll probably have to go back to Yangcheng," Bai Jingyuan said in a low voice. "The news that you're still alive has spread, and your grandfather is very excited, as are your uncles and aunts..."
“Okay, I understand.” Gu Mang frowned. “I will contact them privately, but the matter of returning to Yangcheng will have to be postponed.”
Bai Jingyuan, unaware of the situation, could only say "Oh".
"By the way, Third Brother, I checked carefully today. The client that my sister-in-law met while running errands is the one Cheng Xiaoxiao had been pursuing for three months without success! Heh... I used a little trick to get her to sign the contract. This commission is substantial; she'll get 100,000 yuan..."
Gu Mang was furious and hung up before he could finish rambling on.
Bai Jingyuan was completely bewildered again. He poured a glass of wine for Ye Chen beside him and asked nervously, "What did I say wrong again?"
Ye Chen almost laughed himself to death.
"You ruined his plans, so how can he be nice to you?"
Bai Jingyuan was filled with remorse and kept slapping himself in the face.
"Also, Jiang Can has already signed the contract, why are you being so nosy?"
"This..." Bai Jingyuan's eyes widened. "Did I accidentally flatter someone again?"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him, "Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't close the deal with the client after three months, but Jiang Can, a newcomer, did it. There are a lot of people in the company, so what do you think they'll say about her?"
Bai Jingyuan: "..."
"Besides, I've already reviewed Jiang Can's sales plan," Ye Chen sighed. "It's a textbook example. Even if you hadn't said that, President Xiao would still have signed the order!"
"So Jiang Can's ability to close the deal has nothing to do with you, understand?"
Bai Jingyuan's facial features were contorted, and he was on the verge of tears.
"Think more carefully before you speak and act in the future!" Ye Chen patted his shoulder lightly. "Sigh, I really should have studied medicine back then, so I could have cured your brain!"
Gu Mang leaned against the balcony railing, his deep eyes seemingly blending into the night, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
A cool evening breeze blew in, making him more awake. After a while, he turned and went back to his room, but Jiang Can was no longer in the bedroom. He looked around and heard a soft sound coming from the washing machine in the bathroom.
Jiang Can also saw him, and gently curved her lips, revealing two shallow dimples.
She was a little embarrassed, and bent down to separate the machine-washed and hand-washed clothes one by one, then said softly, "You go to sleep first, I'll do the laundry."
Gu Mang sighed softly, but inwardly he groaned.
When enthusiasm arises, it's like a surging tide; being suddenly interrupted is quite unpleasant.
Now he has to slowly hold it in.
It felt like millions of insects were slowly eroding his body, leaving him feeling both itchy and empty.
But he couldn't appear like a lecher in front of her, and he couldn't force her to go to bed with him again.
So he forced a smile, went back to the living room, and threw himself onto the sofa like a heavy hammer, covering himself completely with the blanket.
...
News of Jiang Can signing the order quickly spread throughout the company, and even some senior sales staff looked at her with new respect.
They had no sales for the first two months, but suddenly they signed a big deal, which was truly remarkable.
At the sales department's routine meeting, the sales director specifically praised her, saying that she had unlimited potential and gave her a bonus as encouragement.
Jiang Can remained clear-headed throughout, silently observing the gazes of the crowd.
Some congratulations were genuine, while some applause was insincere flattery.
There are also those like Cheng Xiaoxiao, who openly ostracize and envy others.
However, Jiang Can didn't care about any of that; she only cared about the numbers on her bank card.
"Ha, what a show-off!" As she passed the break room, she overheard people talking inside. "Look how calm she was when the director praised her! She acted like a seasoned veteran."
"Maybe they really are a seasoned veteran!" another shrill voice chuckled. "The more innocent they pretend to be, the more likely they have a story to tell!"
What did you hear?
"Shh..." the man whispered, "I heard that Jiang Can got this order because someone helped him out!"
"Who is it? Manager Fang? I heard that Manager Fang pursued Jiang Can relentlessly back in college! Ha, but Jiang Can just wouldn't date him!"
"It shouldn't be Fang Jinyang. If there's such a good deal, why would he give it to Jiang Can instead of his girlfriend? Besides, Cheng Xiaoxiao has been working on this deal for three months and still hasn't closed it. Even if it were Fang Jinyang, he still wouldn't be able to close it!"
"You mean... there's an even bigger figure above Jiang Can?"
The group whispered among themselves, then burst into laughter.
Feeling bored, Jiang Can turned to leave, but unexpectedly, she was met with Cheng Xiaoxiao's murderous eyes.
She was startled, her heart pounding, but her face remained calm and composed.
"Hello, Manager Cheng."
Cheng Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and looked at her with a cold smile, "Heh, with you hanging around in front of me all day, how can I possibly be any better off?"
