Chapter 6 She was afraid of his attitude towards her 1
The phone kept vibrating on the floor, and it took a long time for Chen Yiying to feel the vibration. She reached out and fumbled around on the floor until she caught the phone she had thrown away.
But just as she was about to press the answer button, she accidentally pressed the reject button. After rejecting the call, the number displayed on the screen surprised her.
One hundred missed calls, all from Qiu Zhuoping.
She couldn't help but sit up from the floor and hurriedly looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock noon and she hadn't gone to work yet!
"Oh no! My salary will be deducted!" Yiying hurriedly got up to take a shower. When she opened the bedroom door to get her clothes, she almost stepped on Huimei.
Huimei was lying on the floor at the door, hugging an anime pillow.
Yiying hurriedly woke her up: "Huimei, wake up, it's twelve o'clock, you're late for work!"
"I'm taking a day off today and not going to work. Well, don't disturb my sleep." Huimei hugged the pillow, changed direction and continued to sleep.
Yiying was too lazy to wake her up, so she grabbed her clothes and towel and ran to the bathroom.
Chen Yiying hurriedly changed her clothes, took her handbag and left the apartment. She waved her hand at the door to stop a taxi. The driver was a young man who didn't know the way. It seemed that he had just started working as a driver and was not familiar with the surroundings.
He drove around the city for a long time before finding the real estate company she mentioned, which took her longer than waiting for the bus. She glanced at the price on the meter, took out a fifty-yuan bill from her wallet, said "no change needed", and ran into the office building.
The company was empty, and it seemed that everyone was in a meeting in the conference room. Yiying hurriedly took paper and pen and ran to the conference room.
"This area is our company's sales focus this month..." Qiu Zhuoping was circling the area of the real estate on the electronic whiteboard, and everyone's attention was on Chen Yiying who pushed the door open.
She looked a little disheveled, with dense beads of sweat on her forehead, and the collar of her white shirt was also soaked with sweat, becoming slightly transparent.
"sorry I'm late."
"I see you just don't want to work here! Don't you see what time it is now? It's 2:30 in the afternoon. You might as well not come!" Liu Jiaran snorted and glared at Chen Yiying in dissatisfaction.
"I asked her to come now. Recently, the company needs someone to handle the matter of the five certificates in one. I asked her to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to consult about the matter." Qiu Zhuoping excused Chen Yiying in front of everyone in the company, but when Yiying looked at him in surprise, he turned around and continued the meeting, "Find a seat and sit down, we will continue the meeting."
Liu Jiaran glanced at a female colleague next to Yiying, and the female colleague nodded slightly.
Yiying pulled out a chair and prepared to sit down, but just as she sat down, the chair behind her was pulled back by the female colleague next to her.
"Ah——" After a short scream, everyone looked in the direction of Chen Yiying.
She fell to the ground, and the documents in her hand scattered all over the floor. Many female colleagues standing on Liu Jiaran's side giggled, and some male colleagues hurried forward to support her and help her push the chair back.
"You don't have to continue the meeting. Go and write your resignation letter, and go to the finance office to get your salary this afternoon." Qiu Zhuoping skipped Chen Yiying and set his sights on the mischievous female colleague.
His expression was still cold, but he had an irrefutable majesty. The female colleague who played the prank looked at Liu Jiaran hurriedly, as if asking for help, but Liu Jiaran did not speak for her.
"Secretary Liu, please say something! Didn't you say that if I help you, you'll give me a promotion and a raise? You can't go back on your word!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't ask you to treat your colleagues like this!" Liu Jiaran denied.
Qiu Zhuoping frowned, turned to Liu Jiaran, and said, "Liu Jiaran, that's enough!"
"Mr. Qiu, I fell accidentally. It has nothing to do with her. Please take back what you said." Yiying hurriedly excused the female colleague and took the responsibility on herself.
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to cause trouble, Qiu Zhuoping's anger subsided.
But this time, Liu Jiaran had no intention of settling the matter peacefully. She walked up to Chen Yiying and pushed her.
"Do you think you are speaking for me? I tell you, I did everything. I am targeting you. I want everyone in the company to target you. You are just a third party, a shameless person. What qualifications do you have to snatch Brother Zhuo Ping from me? You are not even qualified to help him! Do you know why two years ago..."
"Liu Jiaran! That's enough!"
That was the first time Chen Yiying heard Qiu Zhuoping speak in such a strong tone. She wanted to hear Liu Jiaran continue to talk and wanted to know what happened two years ago, but Liu Jiaran was stopped by Qiu Zhuoping. Although she was angry, she did not say anything more. At that moment, Chen Yiying suddenly realized that there might be some secrets between them that she could not know.
"Chen Yiying, you'd better leave this company, otherwise I..."
"What else can you do?" This time, Chen Yiying regained all her lost confidence. She was never afraid of Liu Jiaran, whether it was two years ago or two years later. What she was afraid of was Qiu Zhuoping's attitude towards her. But judging from today's situation, Qiu Zhuoping had always been helping her. For this reason, she became fearless.
"You keep saying I'm the third party, but what are you? You're not even the third party!"
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you think you can call the shots just because you're a young lady? Let me tell you, if you weren't the daughter of a wealthy family, you'd be worse than a beggar on the street! You don't even have the most basic respect for others. People like you don't deserve to be liked by anyone!"
"Chen Yiying, good, you are going to go against the will of heaven, I will teach you a lesson!" Liu Jiaran raised his hand, wanting to teach this disrespectful thorn in his eye a lesson in front of everyone.
"It's so lively." The door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Zhong Jialiang's voice reached everyone's ears.
"Hello, Chairman."
Chen Yiying was surprised by the way other colleagues addressed Zhong Jialiang.
It turns out that Zhong Jialiang is the chairman of this company?
"Liu Jiaran, put away your slap and don't let me see you do this in the company again."
Zhong Jialiang's words seemed more authoritative than Qiu Zhuoping's. Although Liu Jiaran was not convinced, he still took his hand back.
Zhong Jialiang walked to Qiu Zhuoping's side and motioned him to move aside. Qiu Zhuoping moved aside, and the colleague sitting in the front row naturally made room for him.
"Everyone, listen carefully. No one is allowed to bully Chen Yiying in the company or give her orders. I will only allow something like this to happen once. If you still want to work here, it's best not to have any targeted thoughts towards any colleagues. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Chairman." The voices of colleagues responded were heard in the conference room, and Liu Jiaran turned around and left the conference room in a rage.
Zhong Jialiang handed the USB drive to a colleague who was operating a computer and a display screen, and the colleague transferred the data on the USB drive to the projection screen. It showed an older building in the city center, with floors marked in red and green, and numbers displayed above the marks.
"What you are looking at now is a property in the city center. This is the first property developed by our company. The government plans to reclaim all the land in that area and develop it into a commercial district in the city center." Zhong Jialiang put his hands on the conference table and looked at everyone in the conference room with a serious face. "The places marked in red on the picture have not been sold yet, and the green ones are being resold. We have a lot to do this month. We have to promote the newly developed property in District E and start the first phase of sales. In addition, all the marked floors in the city center property must be sold out before the end of this month. Once that area is reclaimed by the government, our profits will be reduced to a minimum, which is very unfavorable for the company's operations."
"The company's profits largely determine the level of your salary. I believe everyone understands this." Zhong Jialiang continued to switch the images on the display screen, pulling the image of the entire area to the sky to form a bird's-eye view. Looking down from above the city, the marked building looked a little special.
"What you are seeing now is a bird's-eye view. This building in our city center is called 'Cross Gate'. It has a cross structure and will be built into the largest commercial area. Owning the property rights can bring policy benefits, which is very good for people who buy houses."
People in the meeting room began to talk. Some thought it was impossible to sell all the vacant rooms within a month, while others remained silent, waiting for the chairman and general manager to make a decision.
"Meaningless discussions won't solve anything. Starting tomorrow, except for the people in the finance department and those in higher-level decision-making positions, everyone else will have to go out to do business."
Zhong Jialiang's authoritative words instantly made the conference room quiet, and all employees dared not to have any opinions. Zhong Jialiang set his eyes on the assistant next to him, who nodded politely, walked forward and piled the large bag of flyers in his hand neatly on an empty seat on the conference table.
"There are four main commercial street intersections in the city center. We will divide you into four groups according to the order of your desks. I will ask my assistant to distribute the floor numbers that need to be sold to you later. We need to sell in a targeted manner and not waste time. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The loud voice echoed in the conference room, and the high morale seemed to be about to charge forward to meet the enemy.
That was the first time Chen Yiying looked at Zhong Jialiang with fear. The gentle and amiable senior brother in her memory did not seem to be the same as she knew. The sense of distance and gap also made her feel that there was an extraordinary person around her, a man who was more difficult to guess and predict than Qiu Zhuoping.
Zhong Jialiang followed the gaze that fell on him, and smiled elegantly when he met Yiying's gaze. That smile was like a thorn in Qiu Zhuoping's eyes, and he wanted to pull it out as soon as possible.
After that day, the office building, which was originally filled with a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere, was extremely busy. At 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning, everyone was looking through the previous customer information and making sales calls. Starting at 11:00, everyone was divided into groups and went to different areas to distribute flyers and sell the properties they were responsible for. From 12:00 to 2:00, it was time for lunch and rest, but most of the colleagues did not stop working in order to make more profits. The area in the city center involved everyone in the company. No matter where you go, you can see salesmen in formal suits holding flyers.
Yiying shamelessly stuffed the flyers in her hand to the passers-by, and chattered with them like a sparrow for most of the day about the building. The passers-by crumpled the flyers into a ball and threw them into the trash can on the roadside, shaking their heads and waving their hands to refuse Chen Yiying's request to see the house. There were many times when Chen Yiying felt frustrated. The salesmen she used to hate turned out to be harder than she thought. It was only after leaving school that she realized the pressure and competition in the outside world.
"Excuse me, do you know where there is a toilet nearby?" An old man slowly walked to Yiying's side. He had a kind smile on his face, but he looked like he was about to burst into tears. The old man had a hunchback, so he looked a little short when standing next to her.
Yiying looked around and found that the nearest toilet was several streets away.
"Let me take you to the bathroom upstairs." Yiying thought that there was no one in the building that was being sold, so she took the old man upstairs to use the bathroom. Maybe he would like a house there.
So, Yiying took the old man to an empty room on the middle floor by elevator. The old man seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer and walked quickly into the bathroom. Yiying turned on the air conditioner in the room to dispel the stuffy and choking smell.
Before the old man came out, Chen Yiying had thought of all the lines, and she believed that her sincerity could move this old man who was over 50 years old. But all plans always have omissions, for example, she never thought about who the old man's son was...
"Thank you, little girl. This house is quite cool. It's really hot outside at this time." The old man walked out of the bathroom with a relaxed look on his face, and shook the tap water off his hands before walking out.
Yiying hurriedly moved the clean chair to the old man's side and brought him a cup of warm water: "It's so hot outside, why don't you sit here and take a rest?"
"That's fine, that's fine. I haven't chatted with you for a long time." The old man smiled kindly, and that look made Yiying feel that he was very much like someone else. He took the warm water that Yiying handed to him and drank it slowly. The gold ring on his thumb was very eye-catching, and he looked like a wealthy old man. The old man put down the disposable cup, looked around the house, and asked, "Little girl, what major are you studying?"
"I was a student majoring in English, but I wasn't very good at English, so I went to work at a real estate company."
