How did he know?

"Lanlan, little Dream Girl is secretly watching you."

Chen Peiyuan's voice came over, and you reflexively looked over. Unexpectedly, it really was that little girl. She seemed not to have expected you to look over suddenly. After being caught by you, she turned around in a panic and hurriedly hid in the wide-open elevator. Just when you thought she wouldn't turn back, she immediately turned back, raised the corners of her mouth wide, smiled at you, and waved, "Good evening, Mr. Chen. We're off work now. See you tomorrow."

goodbye.

See.

The crisp, clear sound echoed in the company corridor. The moment the door closed, you could vaguely see the shocked expressions on the faces of the other two people, their mouths agape, wide enough to swallow a goose egg.

"Lanlan, this child is so brave!"

Chen Peiyuan's voice slowly rang out, and you wholeheartedly agreed with his words. It was indeed bold, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"But Lanlan, aren't you very happy? You can't stop smiling."

Chen Peiyuan chuckled to himself. He saw Lanlan's lips curve into a smile, which meant she must like it.

"Let's go, the elevator is here."

You didn't answer him, and walked straight into the elevator, where your upturned smile was reflected in the elevator.

I'm happy but I won't tell you; you can just think about it while you're in a good mood.

"Knock knock".

"Enter."

"Mr. Chen, Manager Cui said that everything is proceeding according to the original plan. Here is the collected data." Secretary Liu pushed open the door and came in with a small stack of documents in her hand.

You nod and let her put the documents on the table before leaving.

Since Assistant Li was transferred to another city, the remaining work on his hands has been handled by Secretary Liu, who was recommended by you. Although Secretary Liu's work efficiency has not been as good as Assistant Li's, he is very meticulous, conscientious and responsible, and you are very satisfied with him. After all, work efficiency can be improved over time.

As you reviewed the documents, you picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The taste made you raise an eyebrow. This taste... you almost forgot that Assistant Li used to be the one brewing your coffee. Now that Assistant Li is gone, Secretary Liu is naturally in charge of your daily coffee. However, the coffee brewed by Secretary Liu seems to have less bitterness than that brewed by Assistant Li, with more of a rich, creamy flavor. Surprisingly, you don't dislike this taste. Looking at the swaying coffee liquid in your hand, the corners of your mouth curled up. You gave Assistant Li a chance to prove himself, and Assistant Li reciprocated by providing you with the talent you currently need.

It's unclear whether that slight bitterness comes from the coffee itself or from Assistant Li himself.

The idea only flashed through my mind briefly. What you care about more is the progress of the store preparations. Manager Cui has chosen a location in a square near the city center, and the store decoration is proceeding according to schedule. But the only headache now is where to find suppliers.

The supplier, who had initially agreed to cooperate, suddenly refused to work with you, preferring to risk breach of contract and paying penalties rather than cooperate. At first, you patiently inquired about the reasons and explained that the contract had already been signed and the consequences of breach of contract were unbearable for everyone. The other party remained arrogant and unconcerned. You decided not to tolerate it any longer, hired a lawyer to handle the procedures, and learned that the compensation amount reached eight figures. The supplier's expression changed, and they tried to signal to those around them to try and smooth things over, but you completely ignored them. You simply instructed the lawyer to collect information and organize the contract documents. Seeing your ruthlessness, the supplier turned pale, left with a harsh remark, and went.

You took a sip of the tea on the table, showing no reaction to their departure. You glanced at their retreating figures with a cool smile, and scoffed. "You've said all the nice things and the mean things, and now you're accusing me of being heartless. I wonder who's really the heartless one."

The people around remained silent, not daring to utter a single word; the only sound was the lawyer organizing papers.

Their attitude was clearly off. You looked down at the tea leaves swirling in your teacup, and some people were like mad dogs, relentlessly biting you. Did they really think you had no temper?

But it's all good. You weren't planning to continue working with these people anyway, and today's commotion has completely ruined things. You'll even receive some compensation, which is a happy thing for you.

So, who should we look for now?

You sit in your chair, your hand supporting your chin, and your other hand flipping through the documents on the table over and over again. Manager Cui has handed over not only the renovation progress report but also a stack of supplier information he has collected. Learning from the last experience, the selection of candidates this time was obviously well thought out. Manager Cui seemed to have been quite frightened by what happened last time, and his face turned two shades pale.

Hmm, Chen Ji, not so good. I heard that the family has almost been eaten up by outsiders.

This Liao, although her products are good, has a habit of hiding counterfeit goods, which is not very good. If you try to use underhanded tactics on her during a collaboration, she won't cooperate.

This Zhou family seems alright, let's leave them here for now, pending decision.

You flip through the pages quickly, placing unsuitable partners on the left and suitable ones on the right. Soon, you've finished flipping through a small stack of papers. Although there are quite a few potential partners, you always feel there are better ones out there. As you turn the pages, you suddenly stop.

Chen Peiyuan, General Manager of Shengshi Business Group

Advantages: Strict control over its products, with the number of erroneous batches of snack products remaining within 10%.

Disadvantages: The general manager is emotionally unstable, difficult to communicate with, and likes to play word games; please consider cooperation intentions carefully.

This is the first time a product has many advantages but you're advised to think carefully, which both surprises and amuses you.

If you laugh when you see this, it's like telling you the product is great but the person is rude.

You were amused by the sentence that came to mind, and like flipping a switch, you couldn't stop laughing.

When Chen Peiyuan pushed the door open, he saw you wiping your eyes, seemingly crying. He was a little surprised, but then he saw a smile on your lips, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether you were crying or laughing.

You were just wiping away tears with a tissue when you heard a sound and looked over. You saw the person in the picture standing at the door with a strange smile on their face. Seeing their face, you felt the tears you had just stopped flowing again.

You remembered what you said, and the smile you had managed to suppress almost crumbled again. You quickly turned away from him, afraid that you would start laughing again. The thought of such a bizarre scene was just too strange.

"Lanlan, are you saying bad things about me?"

Yeah, you think that's funny.

Suddenly you freeze, realizing something's wrong. Wait, how did he know?
