Chapter 10

At first, Zhuqing was taken aback, but then she pouted and floated around the supermarket, seemingly thinking of ways to deal with Wang Fan. Perhaps she was a bit confused, or perhaps she had never encountered someone who pulled her hair before. So, apart from constantly cursing Wang Fan as "stupid," she was at a loss for what to do!

That evening, the supermarket became noticeably busier. At the very least, Wang Fan was no longer the only one guarding the empty supermarket. Zhuqing played with him until midnight before bouncing away happily.

Finally, it was Monday morning. Apart from spending over a hundred thousand on his sister, Wang Fan still had about 2.6 million left. He planned to put the money in a securities company to let it grow naturally.

Wang Fan used to work at a securities company. To be fair, they were very responsible to their clients. Major clients didn't need to worry, and they could still earn over 8% monthly. It was a well-reputed company in Jiangcheng. After much thought, Wang Fan decided that familiarity was better than novelty, and it would be safer to put his money there!

So he planned to go to the company after work, bring all the necessary documents, and transfer the money to that securities company. This way, he could rest easy!

"Wang Fan, what are you doing here? Didn't you already quit? Didn't you sign for your last paycheck last month?"

Before he even entered the company office, he saw the old woman from finance, Chen Mei, blocking cars at the entrance. The weather was too hot, and her face and head were drenched in sweat. Her mood was terrible, and seeing Wang Fan naturally made her even angrier!

"Chen Jie, are you going out? Doesn't the company have a car?"

"All the cars are out. I have a friend who needs to sign a contract, and he insists I come over!"

Chen Mei wiped her sweat, feeling anxious. She had been standing there for over ten minutes without catching a taxi. She was worried about the money her friend wanted to bring to the company, so she had to go personally.

Wang Fan watched her standing in the sun, drenched in sweat, her clothes completely soaked. Although there wasn't much to look at, it was clear she was very hardworking!

Just as they were talking, Chen Mei's phone rang.

"What? No need to come over? You're going out and don't have time? Oh, Sister, I'm on my way, already in a taxi..."

Before she could finish, the call was hung up. Thinking about the 400,000 cash her friend wanted to bring to the company, and how she had been delayed by Wang Fan, Chen Mei's face turned black. She was not just angry at Wang Fan but at everyone!

"Haven't I told you that you have no ties with the company anymore? Why can't you understand? How many more times do I have to say it!"

Chen Mei, with a face full of anger, turned to see Wang Fan still walking into the company, completely ignoring her words. Thinking about losing a deal today, Chen Mei became even angrier. She glared at Wang Fan and said sarcastically, "The company isn't hiring, and besides, the company won't consider rehiring someone who was fired!"

As she said this, Chen Jie's face was full of arrogance. She was the relative of Vice President Li, and her status in the company was higher. She spoke without hesitation! Moreover, she had some grudges against Wang Fan.

Chen Mei thought Wang Fan wanted to rejoin the company. After all, the securities company had good benefits, and Wang Fan had been very reluctant to leave when he quit!

"Chen Mei, you seem to be in menopause. Shouldn't you take some medicine?"

Wang Fan frowned, feeling very unlucky. The finance lady seemed to have eaten gunpowder today. You stood in the sun to catch a taxi, you didn't make a deal, and you're in a bad mood, but you can't take it out on me. Do I have a sign on my head saying I'm easy to bully?

"Wang Fan, you're too presumptuous! Security, get him out of here! The company doesn't welcome people like him!"

Chen Mei raised her eyebrows and immediately shouted at the security guard on duty. Wang Fan was really bold, daring to humiliate her like this? She needed to make him leave!

Chen Mei was in a bad mood, with nowhere to vent her anger. Encountering Wang Fan, who she already disliked, made her words even harsher.

"I came to the company to talk business with Vice President Li, not to see you. I'll leave on my own after I'm done, no need for you to ask me to!"

Wang Fan glared at the security guard and walked into the office with ease. He ignored the others and went straight to knock on the vice president's door. He remembered that for clients with over one million, the vice president would personally receive them as VIPs.

"Hey, isn't that Wang Fan? Why is he here to see Vice President Li? Does he want to come back to work?"

"Yeah, probably because the heat has passed, and he can't find a better job, so he's coming back to beg the vice president. A good horse doesn't eat old hay, really..."

"You're overestimating him. With his attitude, could he find a better job? Didn't you see how he dragged his feet when he was fired, unwilling to leave?"

"Come to think of it, he's just too poor and has no connections. Who would treat him as a priority?"

...

At this time, the office was very quiet. With Chen Jie adding fuel to the fire and clearly looking down on Wang Fan, some of the office workers, who were good at reading the wind, joined in the criticism. After all, Chen Jie was Vice President Li's relative and had a high status in the office!

Many times, her views represented the vice president, so everyone naturally spoke well of her. However, many people didn't understand why Chen Jie disliked Wang Fan so much! Even for a former employee, there was no need to be so harsh.

Some of the older employees knew that once Chen Jie had miscalculated Wang Fan's salary by 200 yuan. Wang Fan had approached her several times, but she insisted she was correct. Later, the vice president privately asked Chen Jie to recalculate all the employees' salaries. Chen Jie probably blamed Wang Fan for tattling, so she had never been nice to him!

Soon, the door to Vice President Li's office opened, and many employees started working busily. Although they all looked busy, their eyes and ears were on Wang Fan, who was standing not far away. Strangely, Vice President Li was standing by Wang Fan's side, unusually polite!

"Chen Mei, come here. I'll personally handle Mr. Wang's business!"

Not only the employees but even Chen Mei was shocked. Wang Fan had become "Mr. Wang" in Vice President Li's mouth, and the vice president was going to handle his business personally. Was the sun rising in the west?

Vice President Li, although a former salesperson, never handled new accounts himself. For major clients, he would at most ask a capable assistant to do it. He would never do it himself!

"Forget it, no need to trouble Chen Jie. I don't want her to call the security to kick me out again!"

Wang Fan frowned. It was fine for Vice President Li to ask for help, but mentioning Chen Mei made him uncomfortable. This woman had always been against him, always trying to make things difficult for him.

"What's going on? Xiao Liu, call the security at the entrance!"

Vice President Li, hearing Wang Fan's words, realized that he and Wang Fan had just talked about 2.6 million, a major and high-quality client. If he could secure this, it would be equivalent to a month's hard work for the sales team!

He hadn't realized that Wang Fan, although resigned, was so loyal, remembering the company's kindness and bringing his money to open an account. How had he missed such a good employee before?

To win Wang Fan's heart and prevent him from harboring resentment over his dismissal, Vice President Li had to make Wang Fan feel happy and satisfied. So, after hearing the security's description, he was furious!

He was trying to please Wang Fan and this major client, but Chen Mei had acted so disgracefully. No wonder he sometimes heard complaints!

People said Chen Mei was too arrogant, always delaying the payment of salespeople's commissions and sometimes delaying clients' transfers.

"Chen Mei, you've gone too far. I recruited you myself, how can you tarnish my reputation? How can you drive away a major client like Mr. Wang? Are you happy only if the whole company closes down? Clean up your desk immediately, Xiao Liu, take over her duties. I don't want to see you anymore!"

Vice President Li was getting angrier. 2.6 million, almost ruined by this stupid woman! If this got out, how would other clients view the company? What about the company's reputation?

Chen Mei was stunned. Vice President Li was her relative, and she had relied on his connections to thrive in the company, earning a good salary. If she left, with her age and conditions, she might not even get half the salary here, and the working hours would be much longer!

Thinking of this, she was both anxious and panicked. She didn't care about the others and immediately knelt down.

"At the time, a client canceled an order, and I was upset. I spoke without thinking. My child is about to take the high school entrance exam, and my husband is on medical leave. The family is really struggling. Brother, Vice President Li, please forgive me. I won't do it again!"

The employees stared in shock. Was this just a job? The usually domineering Chen Jie had actually knelt down? It turned out she was the most afraid of being fired!

"Whoever ties the bell must untie it. This matter depends on Mr. Wang!"

Since Vice President Li was Chen Jie's relative, he couldn't say much. He had to give Wang Fan face!

"Wang Fan, no, Mr. Wang, Boss Wang, a great man doesn't hold grudges. I spoke without thinking and acted out of spite. But I have a family to support. Please, have mercy and forgive me!"

Chen Mei's tears flowed as the employees whispered, finding it unbelievable. When did the domineering Chen Jie become a paper tiger?

When did Wang Fan become Mr. Wang, Boss Wang? But this made the employees realize they must never offend Wang Fan. Look how Vice President Li treated him like a father!

At this moment, all the employees felt this was too crazy!
