Chapter 153

At first, she came just to laugh at Xiao Ming's jokes, but seeing how seriously he was listening, her professional habit kicked in, and without realizing it she began to give Xiao Ming a serious introduction.

As a result, after he gave such a serious introduction for half a day, the other side just said thanks and brushed her off?

This is way too perfunctory, isn't it?

Zuo Qianqian felt terribly wronged!

She secretly thought, she must be an idiot, to instinctively feel that this guy could afford a plane; the other person just casually said they wanted to buy a plane, and she gullibly believed it.

Can anyone who wants to buy a plane actually buy one?

She had clearly come just to laugh at this guy, but she ended up digging herself a pit—so frustrated, utterly frustrated.

Just then, the high-speed train also arrived at the station; Zuo Qianqian, thinking of all that had happened, didn't even want to glance at Xiao Ming any further, and stepped off the train with a belly full of resentment.

"Dad, you said you wanted to buy a plane, why aren't you buying it now? I feel that person's introduction was pretty good." After getting off the high-speed train, Xiao Jingrou asked Xiao Ming, puzzled, given Xiao Ming's character—if he weren't interested, he would absolutely not have said so much to the other party.

But who would have thought, in the end Xiao Ming merely gave a light thanks to that person and then nothing more.

Xiao Yunzhe, Xiao Yuchun, and the others listened, also puzzled, and looked toward Xiao Ming.

You guys think this is like buying vegetables at a market? Her introduction was pretty good, but this is a means of transport—whether it's safe enough, whether the quality is good enough—these things need to be verified.

"Only buy it after confirming there's no problem," Xiao Ming replied lightly.

The few children listened and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, safety is extremely important; a slight oversight, if something goes wrong, would leave one with irreparable regret.

The few children nodded; at that moment, the driver who had come to pick them up was already waiting outside the station. The group got in the car and returned to Yuxi Villa.

……

On the other side, Zuo Qianqian also got into the car that had come to pick her up, driven by her friend.

Seeing a dozen or so extremely luxurious cars pass by their vehicle, Zuo Qianqian's gaze was instantly drawn.

"Aren't you also shocked by the grandeur of that motorcade?" her friend Zuo Qianqian said, leaning in to whisper: "Being shocked is normal; that motorcade is here to pick up Xiao Ming, the CEO of Minghui Group."

Zuo Qianqian had been abroad for years; she didn't know who Xiao Ming was, but she was aware of a big enterprise like Minghui Group.

"Xiao Ming?" Zuo Qianqian vaguely recalled that the man in the car was surnamed Xiao.

She didn't know his name, only remembered that his several children were surnamed Xiao, so naturally he must be Xiao as well.

"Xiao Ming, you don't know? He is……" her friend told Zuo Qianqian everything she knew about Xiao Ming.

She simply couldn't connect Xiao Ming with the man she had met on the high-speed train, and could only sigh: "I never imagined our Wuxingguo actually had such a remarkable person."

"A hidden tycoon, a super-rich magnate, impressive!"

"Exactly, super impressive, and moreover Xiao Ming is famous for spending money like dirt; why don't you try contacting him to see if this super-rich magnate would ask you to buy a plane?" her friend joked.

"He's a super-rich magnate; I can't just contact him whenever I want—broad daylight, I'd better not daydream!" Zuo Qianqian muttered, and together with her friend she left the high-speed rail station!

Zuo Qianqian didn't even go home first; she went straight to the company to report for duty!

Arriving at the company, Zuo Qianqian immediately went to the general manager's office!

Their company's president is abroad; this time she was transferred to a branch office! The branch is in Anjin City!

The company's general manager is a foreigner, who judges only by results and never talks about sentiment!

Upon seeing Zuo Qianqian, the general manager's face suddenly darkened!

After Zuo Qianqian greeted him, he launched into a torrent of scolding aimed at her!

Every sentence said Zuo Qianqian's performance this year was poor! Making him more and more disappointed……

Zuo Qianqian felt her head about to explode; on her very first day reporting for duty, she got scolded outright—this feeling really was terrible! She felt the urge countless times to grab the flower vase on the desk and smash it, but she restrained herself.

She endured the leader's scolding for half an hour, during which she didn't utter a single word.

"Qian! You used to be our company's star, pulling in orders with ease each year, a legendary figure; but now, half a year has passed and you haven't signed a single order. If you don't work harder, your position as sales department manager won't last more than a few days!" Finally, the general manager coldly tossed that sentence at Zuo Qianqian and left!

After the general manager left, Zuo Qianqian finally had a reaction.

She tilted her head back, swallowing back the tears of grievance!

Before, when she was capable, the company feared she'd leave and treated her like a bodhisattva; she had only slumped for a short while—was it really necessary to be so overbearing?

Hmph, still trying to pull her down from the sales manager position?

Just a sales manager; if not, then not!

She flung the hot towel aside and walked out!

I'm not serving anymore!

……

Next day!

This was Zuo Qianqian's first official day of work after arriving at the branch office!

During the morning meeting, the company general manager again lectured her, openly and covertly, just like yesterday; Zuo Qianqian endured the resentment, saying nothing, when the general manager was speaking passionately, Zuo Qianqian's phone rang!

"Hello, is this Miss Zuo's phone?" a man's deep voice came from the other end of the line!

Zuo Qianqian's body stiffened for a moment, then she realized—this wasn't the man she had met on the high-speed train yesterday, was it?

His voice was quite distinctive; Zuo Qianqian recognized it immediately!

"Are you, are you Mr. Xiao?" For some reason, this man's call gave her an inexplicable sense of peace.

But she quickly snapped out of that feeling.

Could this man think that yesterday he didn't tease her enough for fun? Is he now preparing to continue teasing her as a fool?

Thinking this, Zuo Qianqian became furious.

She had already been miserable these past two days; couldn't this man avoid making her angry?

Just as Zuo Qianqian was about to lose her temper, the man's voice came again from the other side: "Miss Zuo, I haven't properly introduced myself yet, have I? Hello, I'm Xiao Ming."

"I don't care……"

"I don't care what Xiao this, Xiao that; can you stop provoking me? I have a temper too, okay?"

Zuo Qianqian was just about to throw those few sentences over when she suddenly thought of something; the words on the tip of her tongue suddenly fell silent?

Xiao Ming?

Could it be that this Xiao Ming is none other than that Xiao Ming who went viral all over the net?

That Xiao Ming who spends money like it's dirt?
