Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 24 You are a real villain
At 10:35 am, in front of the lobby on the first floor of Jingyan Group.
A silver-gray BMW 7 Series business car stopped. Without waiting for the chauffeur Xiao Ma to open the door for him, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to get out of the back seat of the business car. While adjusting his suit, he looked at Xiao Ma and thanked him:
"Xiao Ma, thank you for your help. I need to stay at Jingyan Group to do some work. Please go back to the hotel first. See you next time!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's instructions, Xiao Ma smiled and said respectfully:
"Okay, Mr. Yuan, see you next time!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong straightened his suit, and then walked towards the lobby of Jingyan Group in high spirits.
Before he entered the hall, a slightly plump employee with a split haircut and a gray suit came towards him. It was Ye Jinyan's administrative secretary Fan Jingang. He looked at Yuan Xudong, who was in a well-tailored suit, and stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Ye asked me to pick you up!"
"Hello, Secretary Fan, thank you for your help!"
Yuan Xudong shook hands with Fan Jingang and asked with a smile:
"Secretary Fan, how is Mr. Ye feeling today?"
"not bad!"
Fan Jingang responded briefly, then bowed and invited:
"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Ye is still waiting for you in the office, please follow me!"
"Then thank you for your help, Secretary Fan!"
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure!"
There was no conversation along the way. Under the surprised or curious gazes of many Jingyan Group employees, Yuan Xudong followed Fan Jingang straight to Ye Jinyan's president's office.
This was his second time entering Jingyan Group. Compared to the first time when he was unknown, he found Ye Jinyan’s president’s office by himself through the front desk. This time, he was led in by Ye Jinyan’s administrative secretary in person, which naturally attracted other people’s attention.
Seeing Fan Jingang leading Yuan Xudong away, some gossipy employees immediately started talking.
"Hey, did you see that? Secretary Fan is personally receiving us. There is only Mr. Ye's office in that direction. This must be Mr. Ye's guest!"
"The key is that he is so handsome and stylish, just like a big star on TV. It would be great if he could work in the group, or even better, in our department. I will personally teach him how to sell houses!"
"Don't be so horny, we are in the sales department. We can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people. How could they follow you to sell houses?"
"Big Wave, I can't think about it. Besides, how do you know that they don't want to come to our sales department? What if? You know, our sales department is the concentration camp of beautiful women in the entire group. Haven't you seen that male employees from other departments like to run to our sales department no matter what?"
"Do you know how much the man's clothes cost? Not to mention the clothes and shoes, just the latest model of Vacheron Constantin, it's enough for you to save for three years of salary, and that's even if you don't eat, drink or spend. How can such a man lack women?"
"Now that you put it that way, I'm even more interested. Just because he doesn't lack women doesn't mean he doesn't like women, let alone a goddess like me."
"Come on, you're just a goddess. You're just a crazy woman. You have a layer of makeup on your face, just like Painted Skin. You have one face during the day and another face at night. I don't think even your parents can recognize you!"
"Go to hell, Tony, I'm a psycho, and you're just a sissy who does beauty and hairdressing all day long!"
"Okay, let's get to work. Contact all your clients, whether it's inviting them to dinner or going out for singing and dancing. Dongli is about to open, so make sure it's a good start.
The sales performance on the first day of the opening is very important to both the company and you personally. According to convention, the commission for houses sold on the same day will be doubled. We strive to sell at least one house for everyone. Do you understand?"
"Got it, Manager Yang, don't worry, we have already started contacting the client!"
"Especially Da|Wang Bo, who directly booked three small apartments and paid in full on the day of the launch!"
…
Jingyan Group, the inner room of the president’s office.
Seeing Fan Jingang leading Yuan Xudong into the office, Ye Jinyan stood up from behind his desk, extended his hand to Yuan Xudong, and took the initiative to admit defeat:
"Xiao Yuan, you are really a good fortune teller. Yesterday I said that Master Ma was a fake good guy who looked honest on the surface. I didn't expect that the boss of Yiyuan called me that night and told me that Master Ma embezzled public funds to treat his girlfriend to dinner and drinks.
I asked Secretary Fan to check it out, and it turned out to be true. All the details were exposed, including the expenses that Master Ma had lied about and overreported in the past.
I never thought that I, Ye Jinyan, who thought I had seen countless people, could even misjudge the driver who had been with me for eight years. I even accused you of judging people by their appearance. I am so ashamed. I lost the bet and I am convinced of the loss!"
Seeing Ye Jinyan's humble attitude, Yuan Xudong shook hands with him and said hello while smiling:
"Mr. Ye, you are too serious. Human nature is complicated. Sometimes even we cannot see ourselves clearly. How can we see another person clearly? As the saying goes, different times and different situations change people. People will change with the changing environment. As for those who always stick to their original intentions, I have only met two people!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's words, Ye Jinyan invited him to sit on the sofa in the reception area with him, and then asked Fan Jingang to prepare the old tree tea to entertain the distinguished guests, and asked curiously:
"Always sticking to one's original intention, this is a high evaluation. I wonder who Xiao Yuan is talking about?"
“Ahem…”
Seeing Ye Jinyan looking at him curiously, Yuan Xudong coughed, adjusted his throat slightly, and then said in a serious and emotional voice:
"Far away in the sky, yet close at hand, when it comes to people who always stick to their original intentions, Mr. Ye is definitely the first one. As for the second one, as the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black..."
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to finish his suspense, Secretary Fan, who was serving tea, placed the tea set on the coffee table between Ye Jinyan and Yuan Xudong, with a guilty look on his face and a hint of an obvious auntie's smile, and said:
"Mr. Yuan, you really flatter me. I am unworthy of it. However, after following Mr. Ye for so many years, I have learned a lot from him.
Although I can't compare with Mr. Ye, but compared with other people in the company, my loyalty to Mr. Ye is indeed worthy of the eight words of consistency and persistence. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Yuan, saw it right away. It's true that heroes emerge young. If we have time, we can..."
Seeing Secretary Fan start to chatter again, Ye Jinyan waved his hand and dismissed him unhappily:
"Alright, I know everything. You are the most loyal person in the company, but it's a pity that you are useless. You can only do the job of serving tea and water. You stay outside. Xiao Yuan and I will talk alone!"
Seeing Ye Jinyan say this, Fan Jingang's voice suddenly stopped. He walked dejectedly towards the outer office, muttering to himself:
"Yang Ke is capable, but unfortunately he is not loyal. What's the point of being polite to him? You try your best to keep those you can't keep, and you don't cherish those you can keep. I am the only one who is loyal to you. If it were you, others would have run away long ago..."
Seeing Fan Jingang leaving mumbling, Yuan Xudong looked at Ye Jinyan curiously:
"Boss Ye, you treat your employees really well. Ordinary secretaries wouldn't dare to nag in front of the boss."
Knowing that Yuan Xudong had misunderstood the conversation between him and Secretary Fan, Ye Jinyan explained with a smile:
"Fan Jingang is not an ordinary secretary. Don't underestimate me because there are only a handful of people in Jingyan Group who can compare to him in terms of professional ability. He is a late bloomer!"
Hearing Ye Jinyan's evaluation of Fan Jingang, Yuan Xudong thought about it and felt that it was indeed true. If Fan Jingang was a good-for-nothing, a businessman like Ye Jinyan would never let him be his administrative secretary. Besides, the other party was not a beautiful intern who had just graduated from campus and had special abilities.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong became more curious and asked:
"Boss Ye, since Secretary Fan is so capable, why do you still say he is useless?"
Ye Jinyan shook his head and laughed:
"Secretary Fan has been with me for more than ten years. We are superiors and subordinates, but also friends. I know him best. Don't think I am belittling him like this. The more I talk about him, the happier he is.
In Jingyan Group, if I am polite to someone, it means that I don’t have this person in my heart. If I curse at someone, it means that I have this person in my heart. Secretary Fan knows this best. "
"I see!"
Yuan Xudong suddenly realized, then looked at Ye Jinyan, who was a little bit familiar with him, and joked:
"Boss Ye, even if you treat me so sincerely, you still have to fulfill your bet. In my mind, you are a true gentleman who always sticks to your heart. You must not go back on your word!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this about himself, Ye Jinyan said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I was interrupted by Secretary Fan just now. In your eyes, I am the first person who always sticks to my heart. Who is the second person? Judging from your surprised expression before, it shouldn't be Secretary Fan, right?"
“Ahem…”
Yuan Xudong cleared his throat and said calmly:
"I am the second person who always sticks to his original intention. Mr. Ye is a true gentleman, and I am a hypocritical villain!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was talking nonsense seriously, Ye Jinyan said with a smile:
"What is a hypocrite?"
"That's what it means!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and explained:
"It's too difficult to be a gentleman, and it's too bad to be a villain. I am a gentleman disguised as a villain. I am pure and untainted by mud, and I am pure and uncorrupted by water!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong making fun of him, Ye Jinyan was not angry. He rarely followed Yuan Xudong in making fun of him and said:
"Fake characters are not good. As the saying goes, fake is not as good as real. How do you think of replacing fake characters with real ones?"
Yuan Xudong pretended to be surprised and said:
"Wouldn't that make me a real villain?"
"Yes, you are a real villain!"
“Haha~~”
Ye Jinyan nodded slightly and burst into laughter again. Yuan Xudong also laughed with him. Fan Jingang, who was sitting in the outer office, was very curious.
This was the first time he saw Ye Jinyan smile so happily since his daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident. He didn't know what method Yuan Xudong used.
Thinking of this, his curiosity became as painful as a cat's scratch. He wanted to drag Yuan Xudong out and ask him what kind of magic potion he had given Ye Jinyan.
