Pei Nian and Zhou Nan were both stunned for a moment.
Dong Jielin swayed her hips as she walked over from a short distance away.
Before they even got close, the scent of perfume had already wafted all the way. Pei Nian frowned, finding the smell pungent and overwhelming.
"A pheasant needs more feathers to become a phoenix!" Dong Jielin gave her a mocking look. "Right, Pei Nian?"
Pei Nian gave her a cold look, but before she could speak, Zhou Nan immediately smiled and said, "Jacquelin, how are the houses selling? It seems you haven't completed your target for this month yet."
"Sister Zhou, you..."
"Tell me honestly, how many quotas do I assign you each month?" Zhou Nan smirked. "But you know exactly how you meet them each month. Relying solely on connections won't get you far."
Dong Jielin rolled her eyes.
The director of Lu's Group is several levels higher than Zhou Nan, but there's nothing she can do; she's now working under Zhou Nan.
Moreover, her relationship with that director was something that couldn't be made public.
Dong Jielin snorted coldly, stomped her foot, and prepared to leave, but then heard Zhou Nan continue speaking to Pei Nian:
"I wasn't finished. Women should dress up to boost their confidence, not to please men, and certainly not to do anything immoral!"
"Sister Zhou, who are you talking about?!" Dong Jielin turned back, glaring and shouting loudly.
"What?" Zhou Nan asked indifferently. "I didn't say anything about you, why are you getting so worked up?"
"What you're doing is clearly..."
Dong Jielin swallowed her words halfway through, glaring angrily at the two of them.
It was one thing to be under Zhou Nan's control all the time, but now that Pei Nian was added to the mix, he had to put up with her temper too!
Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Alright, everyone get back to what you were doing! I hope everyone has a great day!"
Dong Jielin glared fiercely at Pei Nian.
However, Pei Nian didn't even glance at her.
There were no customers in the sales hall at the time, and some sales staff were making phone calls to contact old customers.
Pei Nian had no regular clients, so she quietly looked at the materials and the model, familiarizing herself with the situation of each building.
She knew that opportunity favors the prepared.
Once she's ready, achieving good results is only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, she smiled gently and devoted herself even more diligently.
But then they heard Jacquelin's high-pitched, excited voice: "Oh, Miss Lu!"
Pei Nian's heart skipped a beat.
Looking up, Lu Ran appeared at the entrance of the hall, and almost all the sales staff surrounded her. Even Zhou Nan walked up to her respectfully, smiling and nodding in greeting.
"Miss Lu, what brings you here today?"
Dong Jielin was quick-witted and immediately brought over coffee and snacks, inviting Lu Ran into the VIP room.
Lu Ran smiled and told everyone to go about their business and not to worry about her, leaving only Zhou Nan and Dong Jielin in the room.
“Miss Lu,” Zhou Nan assumed Lu Ran had come at Jiang Mianmian's behest to check their work, so he showed her the work records from the past few days. “This is the sales figure; compared to last quarter, this period…”
"Okay, you can put it down now." Lu Ran took a sip of coffee and glanced outside.
In fact, she saw Pei Nian standing in the lobby as soon as she entered the door.
She didn't expect that Pei Nian, who had changed out of all black, would be so stunning—a light blue shirt, a white knee-length skirt, and a pair of off-white high heels.
Pei Nian is a completely different person.
What's even more different is her makeup.
Lu Ran frowned, feeling a bit uneasy about the color of Pei Nian's lipstick...
"Miss Lu?" Dong Jielin smiled ingratiatingly. "What's wrong? Are you looking at Pei Nian? Should I call her in?"
"No need." Lu Ran composed herself, pretended to look through the sales records, and also glanced at last month's.
Just as Dong Jielin had told her, Pei Nian had not achieved any results in the past month or so.
Lu Ran looked up and happened to see Dong Jielin looking at her as well. When their eyes met, the same dark look flashed across their eyes.
Dong Jielin gave Lu Ran a barely perceptible nod.
Lu Ran cleared her throat and said, word by word, "This Pei Nian, it seems he hasn't sold a single house?"
“Yes!” Dong Jielin smiled. “Ms. Lu, you don’t know, this person seems to have a grudge against the whole world. She always has a bitter and resentful face! If she stands at the entrance of the sales department, what customer would dare to come in and buy a house… Hahaha!”
“Jacquelin!” Zhou Nan emphasized, “Have you finished your work?”
"Sister Zhou!" Dong Jielin said confidently, "Miss Lu is a shareholder. She rarely comes here, so of course I have to report the situation to her truthfully!"
Zhou Nan was about to say something when Lu Ran stopped her, which made Dong Jielin even more smug.
Actually, from the way Lu Ran looked at Pei Nian at the company last time, she had already guessed about 80-90% of their relationship.
There's no way the two could be best friends; they're more likely enemies.
In that case, Dong Jielin has no choice but to choose the right side!
Lu Ran is CEO Lu's cousin and a shareholder of the company, while Pei Nian... besides Zhou Nan's mysterious protection, who knows what kind of background she has?
So Dong Jielin, who always fawned over the powerful and looked down on the weak, promptly pledged her loyalty to Lu Ran and even embellished her account of Pei Nian's performance in the sales department.
And she even offered Lu Ran advice and suggestions—
"Everyone knows that the Lu family doesn't tolerate idlers! Those who don't perform well will naturally be purged!"
Out of personal motives, Lu Ran gradually grew closer to Dong Jielin.
I came to the sales hall today because I wanted to find fault with Pei Nian and kick her out of Lu's Group!
Even if Jiang Mianmian finds out, so what? She's also a shareholder of the company. Does she not even have the right to fire someone?
Lu Ran took a deep breath, coughed twice, and looked at Zhou Nan with a smile: "Director Zhou, it seems that Pei Nian has indeed not completed her sales target in the past month or so."
“Ms. Lu,” Zhou Nan said, neither humble nor arrogant, “the company’s training period for a salesperson is three to six months. Let alone Pei Nian, a newcomer, even our current sales staff had no achievements when they first joined the sales department.”
“But the company doesn’t support idlers,” Lu Ran said seriously. “As a shareholder of the company, I should also be responsible for the company.”
Zhou Nan frowned. "Miss Lu, you..."
"Get rid of Pei Nian." Lu Ran emphasized each word. "Director Zhou, everyone in the sales department should be useful, not just here to collect a basic salary, right?"
