As the sound faded, the smile on Chen Leigang's face instantly froze!
And the entire marketing department hall became eerily quiet! You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone recognized the young girl, brimming with youthful energy, waving the receipt for the payment. She was Hu Qianqian, the secretary of the vice president of the finance department, Zhou Anke!
Did they really receive the twenty million yuan payment?
If Hu Qianqian confirmed it, then this matter would be set in stone, with no room for doubt!
Chen Leigang glared at Hu Qianqian with a dark expression, speaking each word slowly: "Is what you said true or not?"
Hu Qianqian, with her ponytail, skipped over: "Of course it's true! The receipt is right here, twenty million yuan. Our entire finance department is buzzing with excitement!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Leigang's expression darkened as if it could drip with water! Su Rui, Su Rui, he actually managed to pull it off!
Hu Qianqian, excited, said, "What's wrong, Brother Leigang? Why do you have that expression? Isn't this twenty million yuan your deal? We all thought only you had the capability for this!"
If Hu Qianqian hadn't said this, it would have been better. Her words were like salt in Chen Leigang's wound!
"What do you mean only I have the capability? There are many capable people in our marketing department!" Chen Leigang almost shouted!
Hu Qianqian was startled: "Why are you shouting at me? How do you talk to people? Are you afraid someone will take your sales champion title?"
This Hu Qianqian was truly a master of adding insult to injury, hitting Chen Leigang's sore spots with every word. The reason Chen Leigang was so agitated was that he was afraid someone would take his sales champion title!
This position was his and his alone; he couldn't let it go to anyone else!
What Chen Leigang didn't realize was that everyone in the marketing department was now looking at him with a mix of schadenfreude.
Some were also wondering about Su Rui's identity. How could he manage to secure a twenty million yuan deal on his first day?
Such a person would be a national treasure in any company!
Su Rui, with a smile, picked up the cup of water mixed with phlegm and walked to Chen Leigang: "Hero, please drink this cup of warm phlegm!"
...
Hearing Su Rui's words, many employees couldn't help but burst out laughing! This guy was too ruthless, could he really be so cruel?
Chen Leigang was both angry and humiliated. Looking at the cup of disgusting liquid, he felt like crying.
What is it to pick up a stone and drop it on your own foot? This was the most vivid example!
Hu Qianqian looked at the cup in surprise and asked curiously, "This yellow-green liquid, is it fresh juice?"
Fresh juice!
Chen Leigang now deeply regretted signing that agreement with Su Rui. Looking back, this guy had been setting a trap from the beginning!
Poor him, with his dim-witted brain, he had foolishly fallen into it!
Now, what should he do with this disgusting cup?
The agreement was clear: if he didn't drink it, he had to resign from Bikan voluntarily!
Of course, no one would force Chen Leigang to resign, but if he reneged, how could he continue working in the company? Who would associate with someone who breaks their word?
If he followed the agreement... oh God, just looking at the contents of the cup made Chen Leigang want to die!
If he really drank it, he wouldn't be a hero but a martyr!
"Please drink this cup, hero!" Su Rui said with a smile, extending the cup a bit more.
Chen Leigang's face turned a liverish color!
At this moment, some people who usually disliked Chen Leigang started to cheer: "Are you a man? Do you treat your words like flatulence?"
"Exactly, you signed the agreement but won't follow it. Is everyone here blind?"
"Chen Leigang, if you're a man, drink this phlegm! If you don't, resign yourself. We don't want to work with cowards!"
It seemed that Chen Leigang's usual arrogance had made him many enemies. When the wall falls, everyone pushes, and schadenfreude and adding insult to injury are always enjoyable.
Chen Leigang's face turned pale and then red. His throat moved, showing his inner struggle.
"This... this is actually phlegm?" Hu Qianqian seemed to find it hard to believe, covering her mouth and running out!
The marketing department guys were too extreme, completely beyond human tolerance!
Su Rui smiled and waved his hand, appearing generous: "Alright, Chen Zhuangyuan, you don't have to drink it all, just one sip will do."
Chen Leigang looked at Su Rui with suspicion. Would this guy really help him? It didn't seem likely. Was he up to something?
Besides, what was the difference between one sip and a whole cup?
"Really, just one sip?" Chen Leigang asked doubtfully.
"Really, why would I lie?" Su Rui nodded confidently.
"As a man of courage, you can't even do this?" Su Rui and the surrounding colleagues kept goading him.
"Alright, one sip, I'll drink it!"
Chen Leigang knew that if he really reneged, it wouldn't be just a matter of losing a bet. He wouldn't be able to continue working at Bikan Group. This was where all his resources and connections were; he couldn't leave!
Was face more important or making money?
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Leigang finally mustered the courage to make this decision!
The marketing department office hall fell silent again. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the transparent glass cup in Chen Leigang's hand!
Everyone wanted to see how Chen Leigang would accomplish this incredible feat!
"Just one sip, right? To stay at Bikan, I'll do it!"
Chen Leigang gritted his teeth, pinched his nose with one hand, and raised the cup with the other, pouring the contents into his mouth!
Gulp, gulp, he drank slowly but didn't stop after one sip as Su Rui had said. Ten seconds later, the cup of yellow-green liquid was empty!
Chen Leigang really wanted to throw the cup away, wipe his mouth, and shout, "Good drink!" But that was just a thought; he couldn't do it!
Thinking about what he had just drunk, Chen Leigang's stomach started to churn!
Su Rui, trying hard not to vomit, said, "Didn't we agree on just one sip? Why did you drink it all?"
Chen Leigang gave Cao Tianping a resentful look. This fat guy's phlegm was so thick that after one sip, he couldn't stop!
"Ugh!"
"I can't take it, I need to vomit!"
"I need to go too, I won't have an appetite for the rest of the day!"
Completely disgusted, the onlookers scattered. In less than a minute, the large marketing department office hall was empty except for Chen Leigang! Everyone was rushing to the toilets! Even Su Rui took the opportunity to leave!
Feeling the nausea rising in his throat and looking at the empty hall, Chen Leigang threw the cup to the ground!
"Damn Su Rui, I will get my revenge, I will get my revenge! Just wait and see!"
With that, Chen Leigang walked out with red eyes! He... he needed to go home and brush his teeth!
Ten minutes later, people started to return to the office, and Su Rui was now the center of attention.
A new employee, on his first day, had completed a twenty million yuan sale. How could this not shock everyone? If he didn't have a powerful backer, no one would believe it!
Lin Aoxue was in her office, reading documents, unaware of what had happened outside. At that moment, a knock came on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and the marketing department director, Xue Ruyun, walked in. Despite her conservative business attire, her voluptuous figure easily aroused the fantasies of all the men.
"Ruyun, what's the matter?" Although Xue Ruyun was older, Lin Aoxue still called her "Ruyun," showing their good relationship.
"President Lin, there's something I must report to you."
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Aoxue was puzzled by Xue Ruyun's expression.
"I think our Bikan Group's annual sales champion has already appeared." Xue Ruyun smiled.
"Annual sales champion already? It's only May."
Lin Aoxue remembered clearly that last year, Chen Leigang had completed over ten million yuan in orders, but four million of that was in the last month. If even he was like that, how could Xue Ruyun say the sales champion had already appeared?
Xue Ruyun sat down gracefully and placed two papers in front of Lin Aoxue.
"Twenty million? Su Rui?"
Lin Aoxue saw the words on the contract clearly! Even the usually calm and composed Lin Aoxue was moved!
Of course, her first reaction was disbelief!
"Has the contract been verified?"
Xue Ruyun smiled, "The authenticity of the contract is no longer important because the twenty million yuan payment has already been transferred to the finance department."
"So, President Lin, the one million yuan weekly sales target you set for Su Rui has been exceeded by twenty times."
Twenty times!
Lin Aoxue's mind went blank upon hearing this!
When setting that task for Su Rui, Lin Aoxue had done so out of dislike, intending to drive him out of Bikan. But Su Rui had exceeded the target by twenty times! Even if she wanted to fire him, she couldn't find a reason!
Could she complain that he made too much money for the company? A single twenty million yuan sale was unprecedented and deserved significant recognition!
Twenty million yuan was not something an ordinary rich person could casually come up with. Who was Su Rui, and how could he achieve such a feat?
If Lin Aoxue knew that Su Rui had secured this huge order by sending a few QQ messages, she would be a thousand times more shocked!
The ice queen Lin Aoxue sat in her chair, lost in thought, not even noticing when Xue Ruyun left!
