Chapter 26 I have no value, but I can decide whether or not to sell myself.
She could tell that Shao Min was about to leave. Apart from the normal work handover arrangements, she stood her post for the last time, but she was no longer willing to participate in the group's power struggles. Even if Wang Xiasheng sold the store later, it would have nothing to do with her.
Therefore, she absolutely had to attend Xu Qingmin's gathering. There was no turning back in her life; if she couldn't be hired as general manager, she wouldn't be able to survive under Wang Xiasheng.
Xu Qingmin must secure these fifty cars to have a chance to compete with Wang Xiasheng.
Her job is the pillar of her family; the hopes of her family of five rest on her shoulders. She has encountered countless hardships along the way, so what is there to fear?
Song Yilin glanced at herself in the mirror out of the corner of her eye. Her makeup was exquisite, with bright red lips and arched eyebrows. She had been pretending to be like this for a very long time.
I don't know when I can take a break, so I took a deep breath.
Silently encourage yourself: if you can't kill yourself, then keep working hard.
Two hours before the party, Song Yilin left the company early and asked a makeup artist to help with her styling.
This dress suits her perfectly, showcasing all her best features.
The back of the clothes felt cool, so Song Yilin put on a fur coat.
It looks both elegant and sexy.
Then I drove myself to the vicinity of the party.
She was probably the only guest among all the female companions who drove herself there.
Xu Qingmin was wearing a full haute couture suit, but his hair also seemed to have been styled today.
His angular face appeared even more imposing, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses obscured his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
When Xu Qingmin saw Song Yilin, his expression darkened.
His gaze swept from Song Yilin's calves to her eyes.
He exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay.
It's as if someone owes him 30 billion again.
Upon entering the venue, Song Yilin immediately understood what kind of setup this was, as it was entirely composed of men accompanied by female companions.
There are many successful women in the business world today, and the proportion of female entrepreneurs is not low. However, the women here today are only there as followers. No female entrepreneurs were invited. This means that the women gathered here today are not here for careers, but for business.
Xu Qingmin dragged her to this position, probably to corrupt her.
That's great. This is the simplest way for a man to plunge a woman into despair.
Even on the outskirts of the room, no one was dressed less than her.
Let Xu Qingmin take revenge if he wants; her life has been so good that she's forgotten the mistakes she made.
Song Yilin adjusted her mindset.
Since Xu Qingmin has already dragged her into this low point, she'll just have to survive in it.
Song Yilin took out a business card from her bag, followed Xu Qingmin, holding a wine glass, and greeted everyone with a generous and polite smile: "Hello, I am Song Yilin, the sales director of Xin'ao Auto 4S store."
If they could chat for a bit, Song Yilin would proactively ask to add each other on WeChat; if they couldn't chat, Song Yilin would give her a business card.
However, Song Yilin knew that nowadays, only adding someone on WeChat counted as having a customer; people at their level wouldn't proactively call salespeople like them.
Song Yilin didn't even spare her female companions; she added all the women on her contacts. These glamorous girls were the most likely customers to become clients.
After a flurry of activity, having met almost everyone he needed to know, the host of the party went on stage to say a few polite words and was the first to come over and toast Xu Qingmin.
Chen Yan opened his arms and hugged Xu Qingmin: "President Xu, your presence is an honor to my humble abode."
Xu Qingmin raised his glass: "Congratulations, President Chen, on securing the No. 3 plot in the suburbs."
"Congratulations to you both, thanks to Mr. Xu."
Chen Yan immediately noticed Song Yilin: "President Xu's female companion today is quite different."
Song Yilin knew that the most crucial thing was coming. Chen Yan looked to be around 40 years old, but he didn't have the greasiness of a middle-aged man at all. When Song Yilin saw him, she was reminded of Bosco Wong. His face clearly told her that he was a scumbag.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Song Yilin, the sales manager of Xin'ao Auto 4S store. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Song Yilin took the initiative to extend her hand, and Chen Yan held her hand for a full ten seconds before letting go.
Song Yilin was completely unaware that Xu Qingmin was unhappy.
Xu Qingmin's purpose today is to give her to this President Chen in front of him, isn't it?
Fortunately, it wasn't too bad to look at. He was a bit of a jerk, but Chen Yan's unique mature charm as a middle-aged man was undeniable.
However, Chen Yan only exchanged a few pleasantries with Xu Qingmin before going to greet other guests.
But Song Yilin knew that today's situation wouldn't be as simple as it seemed.
As Chen Yan left, Xu Qingmin spoke softly, "You seem to be quite at home here, frequently attending parties like this in Yishi."
Song Yilin took a sip of wine, looked at Xu Qingmin's hand holding the wine glass, and said, "Mr. Xu, you really think highly of me. I'm just a small sales director at a 4S store. How could I have the opportunity to come into contact with someone of your social standing? I was able to get in thanks to you. Now that I'm here, I should make the most of this opportunity. For people of our social standing, this may be the only time in our lives that we get so close to people from high society like you."
Xu Qingmin sneered and said, "Who said this is your only chance?"
Song Yilin looked up and gazed into Xu Qingmin's eyes.
The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat.
Xu Qingmin seems to think that one act of revenge isn't enough.
Bring it on! We'll overcome every obstacle. She doesn't believe that someone as respectable as President Chen would resort to force if I didn't want to.
At worst, we'll both perish.
As the party progressed and the drinks were flowing in, some people gradually left the main venue. A waitress approached Song Yilin and said, "Ms. Song, Mr. Chen would like to ask you some questions about the car."
Song Yilin turned to look at Xu Qingmin, but he had no expression.
Song Yilin swallowed the bitterness in her mouth and said to the waiter, "Please lead the way."
Song Yilin arrived at a private room, which was probably a VIP lounge specially used by the host of the banquet to relax.
Song Yilin was relieved that it wasn't a hotel room.
"Mr. Chen, you wanted to see me? What can I do for you?"
Chen Yan sat on the sofa in the middle, and Song Yilin came in and sat to Chen Yan's left.
Chen Yan offered Song Yilin a cigarette, but Song Yilin smiled and shook her head, saying, "Thank you, but I don't."
Chen Yan smoked by himself without asking Song Yilin if she minded him smoking indoors.
"Of all the beautiful women I've ever met, you're the most intelligent. How could Xu Qingmin bear to let you come to me?"
Song Yilin sipped her tea in the private room with a nonchalant air: "Perhaps in President Xu's eyes, this is all I'm worth, so he let me do it."
Chen Yan seemed to agree with this statement, blowing a puff of smoke in Song Yilin's face: "Then tell me, how much are you worth?"
Song Yilin wasn't annoyed: "President Chen, I may not be of much value, but I seem to have the right to decide whether or not to sell myself."
