On the twelfth floor of the Yafang Building, Jian Ren stood by the French windows, watching as Qin Hai and Qiao Wei got into a taxi. A smug smirk appeared on his face as he turned around and said, "Xiao Hui, have you contacted your friend?"
"Director, rest assured. I've already informed my friend. They will definitely be turned away, and even if they manage to meet Hou Guangtou, they won't be able to sign the contract," Xue Hui replied respectfully behind Jian Ren.
Jian Ren nodded, glancing instinctively at the trash can in the corner where the stainless steel teacup, twisted into a knot by Qin Hai earlier that morning, lay. Remembering the threatening scene by Qin Hai in the morning, a hint of sinister satisfaction flashed in Jian Ren's eyes.
Although Xue Hui didn't know why Jian Ren suddenly wanted to deal with Qin Hai, he relished the situation. Similar to Jian Ren, he recalled being publicly humiliated by Qin Hai in the cafeteria at lunchtime and couldn't help but smirk.
"Director, that guy doesn't understand a thing. Even with Leader Qiao accompanying him, with my friend's help, they won't be able to sign the contract today. Just block them before leaving work, make them hand over the signed contract. If they can't, hehe, that guy won't be able to stay with a thick face anymore," Xue Hui leaned in and whispered to Jian Ren.
Jian Ren's eyes lit up at Xue Hui's suggestion. "So, you mean, force him to hand over the contract in front of the entire company and make a big scene? Good idea, very good idea!"
Jian Ren excitedly rubbed his hands together, patted Xue Hui on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "Well done! Xiao Hui, rest assured, after this matter is settled, I'll recommend you to President Lin as the deputy head of the marketing department."
Xue Hui was overjoyed, "Thank you, Director!"
...
Unaware that they were being plotted against, Qin Hai and Qiao Wei rushed to the Four Seas Company. Just before entering, Qiao Wei reminded, "Xiao Qin, the head of the Four Seas Company's procurement department is named Hou Dabao, not easy to deal with. When we go in, don't say anything, don't get angry no matter what you hear. Follow my lead, understand?"
"I've remembered it a long time ago!" Qin Hai smiled, "Sister Qiao, you've said it over a dozen times on the way here."
Qiao Wei sighed, "If it weren't for you standing up for me this morning, Jian Ren wouldn't be so against you. You really got involved because of me this time."
"Sister Qiao, stop saying that. Even if you weren't my leader, with the care you've given me recently, would I still be human if I didn't help you? " Qin Hai chuckled.
Qiao Wei nodded, smiling, "Alright, let's not talk about this. I hope we have good luck today and can secure this deal."
Like Yafang Group, Four Seas Company was a large corporation located in a skyscraper. Qiao Wei and Qin Hai went directly to the procurement department.
As they entered, a man with glasses approached. Qiao Wei quickened her pace and greeted, "Secretary Liu, hello. Is Manager Hou around?"
Secretary Liu shook hands with Qiao Wei and, glancing at Qin Hai, said with a friendly tone, "It's a coincidence. Manager Hou just went to a meeting."
"Meeting?" Qiao Wei's heart sank. She exchanged a glance with Qin Hai and asked again, "When do you think Manager Hou will finish the meeting?"
"It's hard to say. It could be an hour or it might go on until the evening," Secretary Liu said with a smile. "What's the matter, Team Leader Qiao? Does Manager Hou have urgent matters?"
"It's not urgent. We're here for that contract," Qiao Wei smiled wryly and continued, "Secretary Liu, could you find a place for us to rest? We'd like to wait for Manager Hou."
"No problem!" Secretary Liu courteously led Qiao Wei and Qin Hai into a small meeting room. After serving tea, he left the room, closing the door behind him. Checking left and right, he took out his phone and dialed Xue Rong's number, whispering, "It's done!"
Ending the call, Secretary Liu went to the office, picked up a folder, and then pushed open the door to the manager's office. Facing the bald man behind the desk, he respectfully said, "Manager, here are the materials you requested."
...
Time passed quickly, and Qin Hai and Qiao Wei had been waiting in the small meeting room for more than two hours, with about an hour left until the end of the workday.
During this time, Secretary Liu came in about every half an hour, pouring tea, serving water, and even bringing some snacks, being extremely polite.
Qiao Wei had lost count of how many times she had checked her watch. Her eyebrows furrowed, and the anxiety was evident in her beautiful eyes. Qin Hai, on the other hand, remained calm. Seeing Qiao Wei checking the time again, he chuckled, "Sister Qiao, there's no need to be so anxious. I don't believe Director Jian would dare to fire me over a single deal."
Qiao Wei sighed, "You don't understand Director Jian. He's narrow-minded and has backing in the company. Many people have suffered losses because of him. I'm sure he must hate you now. If we can't secure this deal today, he'll find a way to force you out of the company."
Backing?
Qin Hai chuckled silently. Could that beastly dressed guy's support be bigger than his? After all, his wife was Lin Qingya, who could be more powerful than their lady president?
Of course, this was not something he could tell Qiao Wei. Seeing Qiao Wei's worried look, Qin Hai found an excuse and slipped out of the small meeting room.
The corridor was quiet. Qin Hai strolled around, first going to the restroom and then leisurely wandering around.
At this moment, the door to the women's restroom opened, and a girl walked out. Qin Hai quickly approached, grinning, "Hello, miss, can I ask you a question?"
The girl was washing her hands and didn't notice someone approaching from behind. She was quite startled when she saw Qin Hai. However, when she turned around and saw Qin Hai's tall and handsome appearance, her eyes immediately sparkled with countless little stars.
"Are you... talking to me?" Faced with Qin Hai's approach, the girl seemed shy and timid, but underneath her shyness, there was an uncontrollable excitement.
Qin Hai was a bit puzzled by the girl's reaction because, in his previous life, he was as burly as a beast, both in build and appearance. Even talking to girls for the first time wouldn't have scared them half to death. Now, he suddenly realized the reason.
Wait a minute!
Qin Hai suddenly paused and quickly figured out the reason.
Damn, he had been reborn, and in the eyes of ordinary people
, he was now a handsome man!
Realizing this, Qin Hai felt a bit helpless and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Damn, he never expected that he, too, would have a day of living off his looks.
"Of course, besides you and me, is there anyone else here?" Although he found it a bit annoying, Qin Hai still revealed a handsome smile, his perfectly white teeth almost blinding the girl.
"Are you... asking me something?" Faced with Qin Hai's approach, the girl seemed shy and timid. However, underneath her shyness, there was an uncontrollable excitement.
Qin Hai, leaning against the wall, looked down at the girl. He had an evil smile on his face and gently said, "What I wanted to ask is, you're really cute... By the way, is Manager Hou here?"
"Yes, Manager Hou has been in his office all along!" Hearing Qin Hai's praise, the girl's heart was intoxicated. She quickly answered while her eyes had already closed, her face showing a feverish redness. It seemed that she was so excited that, if Qin Hai lowered his head, she would close her eyes and offer her soft lips.
Swish!
A gust of wind passed by. When the girl opened her eyes again, the man in front of her had disappeared.
The beautiful eyes of the girl were filled with confusion. She stood there, at a loss, wondering if she had just had a dream.
At the same time, at the entrance of the Four Seas Company's procurement department manager's office, Qin Hai lifted his foot and kicked the closed door with force.
With a loud bang, the solid wooden door, made of precious wood, collapsed. The entire floor shook, echoing throughout the building.
Behind the office desk, a bald man slowly lifted his head, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
