Chapter 14

"Such a feast? May I join you?" Xia Qing smiled and asked. When she saw Su Rui, her face flushed slightly, as if she was recalling the time they spent alone together last night.

"Assistant Xia! Of course you can, it’s a great honor for me, Cao Tianping, to have you join us!" Cao Tianping was surprised to see Xia Qing coming over. He never expected that the beautiful assistant, who was usually so high and mighty, would choose to sit at the same table as him!

What’s going on? Could my luck be changing?

Cao Tianping soon saw Su Rui sitting opposite him and immediately felt deflated. It was obvious that the beautiful Xia was here for Su Rui, and he, the fat man, didn’t have that kind of charm.

Ever since Xia Qing sat down, Cao Tianping became somewhat uneasy. The appeal of such a top-tier beauty was immeasurable. Old Cao’s hand holding the chopsticks was trembling, making him very uncomfortable.

"Old Cao, thank you for the lunch today," Su Rui said suddenly.

"No need to thank me, it’s my duty, especially to have Assistant Xia join us, it’s a great fortune for me," Cao Tianping’s flattery showed again. This guy always cowered when he saw women.

"I mean, if you have nothing else to do, you should leave first. Don’t disturb our two-person world," Su Rui said to the insensitive Cao Tianping, not in a good mood. "Do I have to be so blunt?"

Xia Qing covered her mouth and giggled.

Cao Tianping was taken aback, then finally reacted. What a guy who values beauty over friendship!

However, Cao Tianping still hoped Su Rui could get him more signed photos of Tang Nielander. Therefore, before his goal was achieved, he didn’t dare to defy Su Rui at all. After all, Nielander was the female celebrity he had been obsessed with for so many years!

Seeing Xia Qing and Su Rui sitting together, the gossip in the canteen became even more intense. After all, Xia Qing’s popularity in the group was no less than Lin Aoxue’s. This serious and fiery-figured assistant was the dream partner of countless male employees!

For so long, Xia Qing had never been seen dining with any other man. This was the first time ever!

"Hey, isn’t Su Rui the chairman’s son-in-law and the president’s man? Why is Assistant Xia dining with him?"

"Perhaps Assistant Xia wants to poach the president’s man!"

"First the president, then Assistant Xia, having two top beauties by his side, Su Rui is truly blessed with good fortune!"

Jealous voices rose one after another. If looks could kill, Su Rui would have been pierced by a thousand arrows by now!

"What exactly happened last night? I still feel a bit dazed when I think about it," Xia Qing said, her smile raising the temperature in the restaurant a few degrees.

Xia Qing wasn’t lying. It was the first time she had encountered a kidnapping, and her mind was already extremely tense. After falling into the river, she relied entirely on Su Rui and didn’t think independently at all. Therefore, when she recalled last night, she still felt a bit dizzy.

Xia Qing had also developed a curiosity about this mysterious man.

However, Xia Qing seemed to forget a saying—curiosity killed the cat. When a woman starts to be curious about another man, it means she will eventually fall for him.

"Last night, I only remember a little bit," Su Rui blinked and smiled. "I remember you were completely soaked, your clothes sticking to your body, revealing your perfect figure."

Xia Qing’s face turned bright red, and she immediately stopped talking. This man’s words were frivolous, completely different from the composed and decisive person he was last night.

If it were in the past, Xia Qing would never have dined with a man who talked and acted so improperly. But now, she didn’t find Su Rui’s words offensive at all; instead, she thought he was quite humorous. It was a strange change.

At this moment, Lin Aoxue also entered the restaurant. When she saw Su Rui sitting and chatting with Xia Qing, her gaze paused for a moment, then she walked past without even greeting them.

"This girl is getting more and more out of line. I’ll have to teach her a lesson one day," Su Rui said, staring at Lin Aoxue’s graceful back, gritting his teeth.

In the afternoon, Su Rui wasn’t as bored in the office as before. He was now a star in the Bikan Group, with a crowd of people chattering around him, especially the young girls who saw the handsome and slightly rogue-like Su Rui, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"I’m back, I signed another big deal today, a sales amount of 200,000! Everyone, come and celebrate for me!"

At this moment, a man in a white striped shirt appeared at the office door, speaking loudly.

This man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined, but he was actually very famous in the industry. He was the annual sales champion of Bikan Group last year, Chen Leigang.

Chen Leigang was like a star in Bikan Group, with more sales leading to more bonuses. The young and wealthy Chen Leigang was always a sought-after figure among the female employees in the group.

However, when Chen Leigang said this today, he found that no one in the office even glanced at him!

In the past, his words would have caused a storm of excitement!

A 200,000 deal wasn’t something everyone could encounter!

He then noticed that the pretty girls in the office were all surrounding a stranger, who was chatting and laughing, making the girls around him giggle uncontrollably.

Chen Leigang was instantly furious!

After all, as the sales champion of Bikan last year, he always considered himself the top star of the marketing department. Those pretty girls should have been circling around him! But today, he signed a 200,000 deal, with a 20,000 bonus, and no one paid him any attention! He was completely ignored!

"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?" Chen Leigang asked a colleague beside him, trying to suppress his anger.

"You don’t know? His name is Su Rui, the new business representative in your group. He’s quite popular now!" The person asked laughed and said with a deep meaning, "But to be fair, he does have some skills."

"Skills are nothing. In the marketing department, everything is measured by performance. No performance means no skills!" Chen Leigang coldly said and walked towards Su Rui. He was the sales champion of the entire Bikan Group, and a new guy couldn’t steal his thunder!

Chen Leigang was always used to the spotlight and being the center of attention. He absolutely wouldn’t allow a newcomer to overshadow him!

In fact, Su Rui didn’t want to make enemies everywhere. This time, he was about to suffer from someone else’s jealousy.

"During working hours, chattering like this, what kind of behavior is this!"

Walking behind Su Rui, Chen Leigang cleared his throat and said loudly, sounding very strict.

The scene instantly quieted down, and everyone’s gaze turned to Chen Leigang, who stood tall, seemingly regaining a bit of his confidence.

"Cough, cough." Group leader Cao Tianping was also chatting with Su Rui, but was reprimanded by his own subordinate, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"Leigang, you’re back?" Cao Tianping said awkwardly. This guy was just good at performance, but does that mean he can act so arrogantly?

"Group leader, who is this?" Chen Leigang asked with a cold smile.

Cao Tianping, adhering to the principle of harmony, suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "This, I haven’t introduced him to you yet. He’s our new colleague in Group One, named..."

Before Cao Tianping could finish saying Su Rui’s name, Chen Leigang interrupted, giving a cold look at Su Rui, who was sitting with his legs crossed. "New guy, do you know the rules of the marketing department?"

Cao Tianping frowned. It was clear that Chen Leigang was looking for trouble. He was interrupted before he could even finish introducing Su Rui, which made him quite unhappy.

Su Rui found it amusing. This marketing department was full of odd characters. Just as one troublemaker, Yin Xiumei, left, another blind man came in.

Some people nearby were already preparing to watch the show. It seemed Chen Leigang didn’t know that Su Rui had already stunned the toughest woman in the marketing department!

"What are the rules of the marketing department? Tell me about them," Su Rui bowed slightly, showing a humble attitude. "It seems you’re a senior, so you should teach me well."

"The rule of the marketing department is—performance speaks! I’m the sales champion of the entire Bikan Group last year. What about you? A new guy who just joined, giving orders and not working hard. Do you know that if you don’t perform well during your three-month probation, you’ll be fired immediately?"

Saying this, Chen Leigang glanced at Cao Tianping and said, "Right, Group Leader Cao?"

Cao Tianping didn’t dare to agree. Su Rui was a favorite of the chairman and had an unclear relationship with Lin Aoxue. Who would dare to fire him? Was he tired of working at Bikan for so long?

"Oh, so you’re the sales champion of Bikan. I’ve heard a lot about you," Su Rui said, pretending to be enlightened.

"Hmph, good to know," Chen Leigang stood with his hands behind his back. "New guys should act like new guys, being humble is not a bad thing."

At this moment, the sales champion finally felt that the lost glory had returned to him. He looked around at his colleagues with a smug expression, feeling quite good.

"Oh, then I wonder what the sales of last year’s... Champion Chen were?" Su Rui asked with a smile.

"I sold a total of 12 million in medicines and medical devices." Mentioning his strengths, Chen Leigang became even more proud! This was an unmatchable number!

At the end of last year, Chen Leigang earned over 1.2 million in commissions from sales! In the fourth ring of Ninghai, this amount could buy half a house!

After this year, with outstanding performance, Chen Leigang would likely have his own sales team and become a group leader!

"Really impressive." Su Rui looked very admiring.

"Young people need to be diligent and hardworking. That’s what Bikan needs. Just talking big and boasting won’t do. Understand?" Chen Leigang, seeing himself in the lead, felt pleased and took on a lecturing tone.

Before Su Rui could respond, his QQ phone started beeping!

It was a message from Victoria!

"Dear Apollo, I’ve already arranged for the contract to be faxed over. I bought everything on your list, a total of 20 million Chinese yuan."
