Chapter 17017 Misunderstanding
A busy schedule is about to begin.
Yu Zeyuan couldn't stand the torture of motion sickness anymore, so he walked to the motorcycle and stopped: "You guys take the car, I'll ride the motorcycle."
The company has no strict regulations on transportation, as long as it does not delay work.
Xue Yi turned a blind eye and said, "Okay, I'll send you the address. Remember not to be late."
As soon as she sat in the back seat of the car, Zhang Shihan immediately came over and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Sister Yiyi, what do you think of Yu Zeyuan?"
Xue Yi raised an eyebrow: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Zhang Shihan's eyes flickered as she said excitedly, "I think... he seems to care about you a lot."
Xue Yi raised the corner of his mouth with interest: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Zhang Shihan winked and said, "During lunch, he secretly glanced at you several times!"
Xue Yi grasped the key point: "So, you kept staring at him while eating?"
Zhang Shihan blushed and said embarrassedly, "Oh! With such a handsome guy sitting across from me, it's normal for me to take a few more glances! Unlike you, you just bury your head in your food!"
Xue Yi remained silent.
In her opinion, Yu Zeyuan's "concern" was simply because he was staying in her house, using her things, and trying to curry favor with her to establish a good relationship with her.
However... if he is really interested in me, it would be even better. Not only can it save me a lot of trouble, but the path of being a live-in son-in-law might also be easier.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it will benefit you in every way.

As we were about to get on the highway, there was a traffic jam ahead. We waited for half a day and could not move more than a hundred meters.
As time passed and the agreed time drew closer, Xue Yi couldn't help but ask the driver, Wang Wei: "Brother Wang, what's going on?"
Wang Wei poked his head out and said, "There seems to be an accident up ahead."
Xue Yi rolled down the car window and looked out.
Not far away, a taxi and a private car can be vaguely seen parked crookedly on the side of the road. Several traffic police are handling the situation on the spot, and it seems that the situation cannot be resolved in a short time.
"Is there any other way to go?"
Wang Wei thought quickly and said, "Yes, but if I go around it, I'll probably be about ten minutes late."
"Then take a detour."
Xue Yi made a decisive decision and then lowered her head to send a message to Yu Zeyuan:
Yiyi: [There was an accident on the highway here, so it's completely blocked. We'll need to take a detour. We estimate we'll be about ten minutes late. If you arrive first, please explain this to the hotel contact.]
About two or three minutes later, Yu Zeyuan's reply popped up in the dialog box -
y: [Okay.]
Although Wang Wei tried his best to speed up, they were still late when they arrived at the hotel.
A group of people hurried into the lobby.
Yu Zeyuan was seen talking calmly with an elegant lady wearing a hotel uniform.
Xue Yi looked apologetic and walked over quickly: "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
The other person turned around and gave a professional smile: "It's okay, it's common to encounter accidents and delays on the road. I understand."
She had her hair neatly tied up in a bun, her makeup delicate, and her voice gentle: "My name is Wu Na, the lobby manager of the hotel. Please follow me, the reception room is ready."
She specially reserved a spacious and bright conference hall that could accommodate more than a hundred people.
Wu Na pushed open the door and saw that the seats were full.
The restaurant department, service department, housekeeping department... employees from all departments were present.
The hotel industry has always attached great importance to fire safety and has routine training every year. Therefore, everyone listened very attentively and was extremely enthusiastic in the interactive session. The entire presentation and exchange went quite smoothly.
After two days of practical training, Yu Zeyuan was no longer so unfamiliar and restrained, and performed confidently and fluently.
This kid is a quick learner.
Xue Yi saw it and praised it silently in his heart.
Although the presentation went smoothly, the sales process suffered a disastrous defeat.
Because of being late, we lost those crucial fifteen minutes, resulting in the employees' start time coming up soon after the product introduction, and the crowd stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the number was about to drop, Xue Yi skipped the lengthy product introductions, picked up a fire extinguisher, and spoke quickly, "It's the hottest season now, and the risk of electrical short circuits and flammable fires has increased dramatically. This is our company's latest water-based fire extinguisher, and its features are..."
She quickly explained the core selling points, and several management staff were obviously persuaded and placed orders for several units on the spot.
The performance was just over 1,000, far below expectations.
Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, Xue Yi never complains or makes excuses for poor performance. He only reflects and reviews after the work is completed.
“Tsk…”
Yu Zeyuan crossed his arms, a look of gloating mockery on his face, "I never thought that our Chief Supervisor Xue would also suffer a setback?"
Facing Yu Zeyuan's ridicule, Xue Yi's face did not show much emotion.
She raised her head, looked straight at me and said, “It just so happens that this experience can teach you a lesson.
Not every presentation is a complete success; success inherently carries the risk of failure. The key is to avoid unnecessary self-doubt when faced with setbacks, but to quickly adjust your mindset and redirect your energy toward the next one.
Yu Zeyuan turned his head and snorted after hearing this, muttering softly, "...all he knows is some high-sounding principles."
"Get out of the way."
Xue Yi squeezed past him sideways, holding a stack of product information, and the faint scent of shampoo wafted through her hair.
Yu Zeyuan's eyes followed her thin back until she walked away, then he turned and walked in another direction.
"Manager Wu, please wait..."
A clear voice called out from behind. Wu Na stopped and looked back. It was the handsome man who gave the fire safety lecture.
She turned around, subconsciously straightened her collar, and smiled slightly: "Hello, what's up?"
"I just happened to hear you and your colleagues from the purchasing department mention that the hotel plans to replace a batch of air conditioners?"
Yu Zeyuan walked a few steps closer and asked in a seemingly natural manner.
Wu Na was a little surprised: "Yes, but... your company doesn't seem to be in the air conditioning business?"
“It’s true that we don’t sell air conditioners, but we have air purifiers with excellent performance.
You see, after installing a new air conditioner, there's usually a noticeable odor that requires a long period of ventilation to dissipate. This is detrimental to hotel operations and room turnover, and it significantly impacts the guest experience.
If the room could be equipped with an air purifier, it would not only quickly eliminate odors and improve air quality, but also provide timely relief for guests who are sensitive to odors or have rhinitis. Furthermore..."
He glanced at the construction area not far away. "I see the restaurant is being renovated. The purifier can also be used to remove formaldehyde residue later, killing two birds with one stone."
Yu Zeyuan spoke steadily and logically, and threw out multiple selling points in one breath. These were all product knowledge he learned during training.
Wu Na fell into deep thought.
What he said does make sense, but air purifiers are a considerable extra expense. The hotel's monthly purchasing budget is very tight, and the bulk of it goes to air conditioners, leaving no extra money for turnover.
She could only politely decline. "Thank you for your suggestion, it's very thoughtful. However... our current procurement budget has been mostly spent on air conditioning, so I'm afraid we won't be able to buy an air purifier."
The light of expectation in Yu Zeyuan's eyes dimmed in an instant.
He lowered his eyelids slightly, his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, his plump lips were tightly pursed, and his lost look was really heartbreaking.
Wu Na's heart sank as she added, "Of course, dozens of them are definitely beyond our budget. But if we have ten or eight, maybe we can think of a solution."
Yu Zeyuan suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright as if washed by spring water, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the dimples on his cheeks were particularly charming.
Wu Na was distracted for a moment by his smile and unconsciously took out her phone from her pocket. "How about this? Add WeChat? I'll go back and ask my boss for permission. If it's feasible, I'll notify you via WeChat and I can arrange delivery as early as tomorrow."
Yu Zeyuan's eyes flashed, and he tapped his WeChat account a few times, quickly switching to the backup account and smiling brightly: "Okay."
*
"Where's Yu Zeyuan?"
"have no idea."
Xue Yi frowned. She just thought this kid had made some progress, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
His eyes swept towards the entrance of the hall again.
A tall figure walked in slowly.
Xue Yi frowned and asked in an unhappy tone, "Where have you been?"
Yu Zeyuan wanted to share this unexpected surprise, but seeing her cold face, he lost all interest and said lazily, "Something happened."
What could he be doing? He was probably just slacking off.
Xue Yi's voice darkened: "No matter where you go in the future, report to me in advance."
Yu Zeyuan raised his eyelids and asked provocatively, "You want to go to the toilet too?"
Xue Yi stared at him and said word by word: "Including."
"Heh..." Yu Zeyuan let out a sneer from his throat, which was particularly harsh.
Xue Yi, who had been patient for a whole day, finally exploded at this moment and raised her voice: "What's with your attitude?!"
"Oh, it's no big deal!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Shihan quickly stepped in between the two of them to smooth things over.
"Maybe Xiao Yu really has something wrong? He's a newbie! It's normal for him to be unfamiliar with the process. Just be patient."
"And you!! Sister Yiyi is also concerned about you and is afraid that something might go wrong! Let's understand each other and go, don't let others watch the fun here."
The two men then walked out of the hotel one after the other with gloomy faces.
Yu Zeyuan got on the motorcycle, and the engine roared dully as it rushed out, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes on the ground.
“Ahem…”
Xue Yi waved his hand, frowned and sat in the passenger seat.
This awkward low pressure lasted until the end of the get off work day.
*
Xue Yi walked the dog and sat down on a chair tiredly.
Glancing at the sofa, the blankets and pillows were neatly arranged, and it seemed that it had become Yu Zeyuan's exclusive place.
Suddenly I remembered that today is the last day of the "three-day period". It is almost nine o'clock and the person has not returned yet.
At this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated wildly.
Xue Yi swiped the screen and the notification bar was filled with a string of WeChat icons.
It’s a message from the work group.
She quickly rowed to the top—
【Deshield Health Department】
Liu Shuang: [@薛依依伊 is awesome! He made 20 air purifiers in one go! [Strong][Strong]]
Zhang Shihan: [What the hell??? When I was giving a presentation with Sister Yiyi today, I didn't see any sales surge! So you're quietly working on something big? [Shocked]]
Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately switched to the [Deshield Performance Announcement Group]
Wang Zhide: [Congratulations to Xue Yi from the Health Department for signing a contract at the Ronghua Hotel: 20 air purifiers + 3 fire extinguishers, total sales: 80,200! Congratulations! Continuing to achieve great success! [Applause][Celebration]]
Xue Yi was confused.
When did I sell twenty air purifiers?
She called Wang Zhide directly.
"Boss Wang, what's going on with the order for those 20 air purifiers at Ronghua Hotel?"
"Ah? Didn't you ask Xiao Yu to tell me that? He said a batch of purifiers would be delivered tomorrow morning and asked me to arrange for the warehouse to ship them out."
"I haven't mentioned this to him."
There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds. Wang Zhide asked curiously, "What's going on? The other party has already transferred the deposit!"
Xue Yi's mind buzzed, and he suddenly remembered what Yu Zeyuan said in the afternoon: Something happened.
Could it be that…his so-called business was really about negotiating this 80,000+ yuan order?!
A strong sense of guilt came over me like a tide.
Not only did I wrongly accuse him, but I also treated him with such a bad attitude.
Xue Yi felt her face burning, "Boss Wang, if Ronghua Hotel really ordered 20 air purifiers, then it should be the order that Yu Zeyuan negotiated himself.
He may not be very clear about the order submission process, and he contacted you directly without explaining it clearly, causing you to mistakenly believe that it was arranged by me and blame me for not communicating clearly with him in advance.
Please credit this achievement to Yu Zeyuan."
"Oh! So that's how it is!" Wang Zhide suddenly realized, "This Xiao Yu is really good. He's only been here for a few days and he's already got a big order! But it's still you, Manager Xue, who's doing a great job!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I'll hang up now."
"Okay, you should rest early too."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Yi looked at the clock. There were less than ten minutes left until ten o'clock.
Is he planning on not coming back tonight?
Xue Yi clenched her phone tightly, looked at the three words "Yu Zeyuan" on the screen, took a deep breath, and was about to press the dial button...
“Ding Dong——”
The crisp sound of the doorbell broke the silence in the room and hit her heart hard.
