Chapter 25 Xu Qingmin's Revenge
On the calm lake, the sound of a flute drifted from afar, playing a tune she knew. Xu Qingmin's boat also had a guzheng, and Song Yilin entered at a suitable beat.
Xu Qingmin put down his drinking glass.
It wasn't that surprising, as Xu Qingmin knew that Song Yilin could play the guzheng.
Xu Qingmin recalled the piano music he had heard during the reception; it turned out that Song Yilin had played it for Shen Youheng.
The hand gripping the cup tightened unconsciously.
Are you and your husband in an open relationship now?
Song Yilin played a wrong note on the piano. Her English is not good to begin with, so why is she taking a listening test here? What's with all this openness?
Song Yilin couldn't understand, so she could only smile and immerse herself in her performance to avoid understanding the words Xu Qingmin was saying.
Song Yilin's gesture of bowing her head while playing the piano was seen by Xu Qingmin as a nod.
Xu Qingmin slammed the cup down heavily.
"Captain, dock. Let Director Song go back."
Song Yilin abruptly stopped playing. What was she doing? Wasn't the atmosphere just now quite good?
I even joked with her.
After disembarking, Shen Youheng also went ashore.
Song Yilin saw the apology in his eyes, but she didn't accept it. Her friendship with Shen Youheng, their time as classmates, was over.
However, Song Yilin's good manners prevented her from turning against Shen Youheng. She simply nodded to Shen Youheng and left Qinghu Restaurant.
After returning home, Song Yilin checked online to find out who was actually in charge of Qinghu Restaurant.
It's 100% owned by the Xu Group. Sure enough, Xu Qingmin wouldn't eat at a restaurant that wasn't his own. The class monitor is really thoughtful, knowing where Xu Qingmin often goes.
That night, I dreamed of Xu Qingmin.
I haven't dreamed about this person in so long, why am I dreaming about them again? We've been seeing each other too often lately.
Inside the Xu Group, Li Muzi brought out the clothes she had designed.
"Mr. Xu, this is the dress that Mr. Chen gave to Director Song to wear at the party in a few days. Should I deliver it to Director Song's shop, or would you like to give it to her as well?"
Xu Qingmin disliked Li Muzi's unauthorized speculation: "Don't forget your job."
"Okay, I'll send it to Director Song right away."
"etc."
Li Muzi thought Xu Qingmin had suggested that she deliver the clothes herself. Xu Qingmin opened the gift box and looked at the clothes.
"Change it to the red one with the high slit and send it to the store for her."
Li Muzi was increasingly unable to understand her boss. When the designer recommended that red dress, he was the first to reject it. The dress had a high slit that almost reached his hips, and the chest was cut open all the way to his abdomen.
Such clothes are usually only worn by female celebrities on the red carpet. Even if their profession is not legitimate, they would not dare to wear such clothes to such a formal party.
However, Li Muzi was just a clerk and could only obediently do what her boss wanted.
Song Yilin was notified by the administration to go to the conference room as soon as she arrived at work.
Wang Xiasheng came over cursing, and his voice could be heard throughout the corridor.
Shao Min was already in the conference room.
The general manager is usually the last to arrive at any meeting, so the fact that you're here so early today means this meeting is very important.
There were only five people in the meeting room: the general manager, Wang Xiasheng, the customer service manager, and Chen Rushi, her sales consultant.
Large meetings usually discuss trivial matters, while meetings with only a few people are generally very important.
Once everyone was present, Shao Min signaled to customer service manager Huang Yanyan to begin.
Huang Yanyan cleared her throat: "It's like this, yesterday I received a complaint. A few days ago, someone bought a Q5 from us and said that our wheels are not original, demanding a three-fold compensation for the fake product."
It's very common for wheels to be non-original. Many customers who don't like the original wheels will ask to replace them with aftermarket wheels. Many sales consultants earn high commissions because these kinds of products sell well, and they get extra commissions from them.
However, if the wheel is installed without the customer's consent, some customers may feel they have gotten a good deal, as they can replace the wheel without spending any money. But other customers may use this as grounds for legal action.
"Chen Rushi, is this the car you sold? Tell me the details."
Chen Rushi, born in 2000, interned at the company for half a year before officially starting to sell cars this month.
The little boy was so scared that his lips turned white when he encountered such a big complaint for the first time.
"Mr. Song, I didn't know that the wheel rim wasn't original."
Song Yilin sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. In the workplace, ignorance doesn't mean innocence.
At a 4S dealership, the sales consultant is the last to inspect the car during delivery. Experienced sales consultants can usually tell at a glance whether the wheels are original or not.
The installation of wheel rims usually costs money. Since the 4S store hasn't received payment from the customer, the customer is using this as an excuse to demand a three-fold compensation for the counterfeit product.
Song Yilin carefully examined the installation work order and discovered the problem.
"Director Wang, our department didn't place any work order requesting this installation on this vehicle. Why did you install it?"
Wang Xiasheng was not afraid: "It was Chen Rushi from your department who told me on WeChat that he wanted to install it. Look at the chat history. It was so late that day. I waited for him to finish the work order before I started working. The customer must have complained."
In some urgent situations, it is practiced to place an order with the customer first and then provide the necessary information later.
Song Yilin read the chat history. Originally, Chen Rushi was supposed to deliver two cars the next day. The one he complained about was just getting waxed, while the other was getting its wheels replaced. The new cars didn't have license plates, only vehicle identification numbers. At first, Chen Rushi could clearly explain what each car was for, but after being guided by Wang Xiasheng, he got confused and mixed up what each car was supposed to do.
After the customer service representative of the other car owner contacted him to explain the situation, the owner said he would come back in a while to change the rims and did not make things difficult for Chen Rushi.
Shao Min glanced at the chat history, and her expression suddenly turned sour.
"You can all leave now, but Song Yilin can stay."
After everyone left, Shao Min glanced at Song Yilin and said helplessly, "Wang Xiasheng has screwed you over. He knows that car owner, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're also at fault because your subordinates weren't vigilant enough and their training was inadequate."
"But Mr. Shao, Wang Xiasheng is willing to harm the company's interests to get me. Do you think someone like that is fit to be the after-sales director?"
Song Yilin's training focused on daily work and precautions, rather than training subordinates to prevent them from being taken advantage of by their colleagues.
“I knew he wasn’t qualified, but I couldn’t fire him. I’ll personally communicate with the client about this complaint. This matter must be punished, otherwise Wang Xiasheng will make a big fuss and there will be a group-wide reprimand. Your position as general manager will be in danger. You need to work harder. I’ll speak highly of your merits to the boss.”
The matter is already out in the open. The fine is a minor issue; the public reprimand is the real problem. She underestimated Wang Xiasheng's shamelessness. In her mind, no matter how much competition there is between the two departments, they should not gamble with the company's brand image.
It's true that no matter how many people you see, nothing beats the cuteness of cooking.
Back in the office, I saw the clothes that Li Muzi had brought.
Seeing how revealing the clothes were, Song Yilin knew that Xu Qingmin's revenge was about to begin.
