Free Web NovelChapter 146: Chapter 116: You Heard Sounds All Night?
"Maybe it’s the flickering light making them look dark. I’m heading out now, bye-bye."
"Bye."
Her colleague left, and Feng Xile, standing beside her, couldn’t help but snicker.
"The dark circles are already showing. You must have been going at it until the wee hours of the morning yesterday."
"No, I wasn’t! Don’t talk nonsense."
Li Zhiyi only showed her other side when she was with Lin Jiang. At all other times, she was very shy.
"Then swear on it. If you two did the deed last night, may your Brother Jiang’s ’tool of the trade’ never work again for the rest of his life."
"That’s too vicious! This is our workplace, can’t you be a little more serious?"
"Wrong. This is the restroom. What proper person comes in here without having to take off their pants?"
Feng Xile gave Li Zhiyi a suggestive nudge.
"Tell your big sis, how did it feel?"
"It was... it was good..."
"What kind of rating is ’good’? How long did it last?"
"About thirty-something minutes, I think. I’m not too sure, who keeps track of that stuff?"
"Holy crap! Thirty-something minutes!"
"What’s wrong? Is that supposed to be a long time?"
"Can you please not be so oblivious to your own good fortune?"
At that moment, Feng Xile deeply felt the vast inequalities of the world.
’Mine finishes in three minutes!’
’Where can I even go to complain about this injustice!’
"Zhiyi, come here for a moment."
The two had just walked out of the restroom when they were called over by their manager, Zhu Zhenxiang.
"Manager, what is it?" Li Zhiyi asked as she walked over.
"You were the top salesperson last month, but this month you’ve dropped straight to fifth place. You have to push your way back up."
"Got it."
Li Zhiyi answered half-heartedly. She really hadn’t been focused on work lately.
’All I can think about is either Lin Jiang or... *that stuff*. I really need to try harder next month.’
"Manager, don’t give Zhiyi such a hard time. She just got lucky last month," Yu Wenli said sarcastically.
"The month isn’t over yet. No one can say for sure what the final results will be," Feng Xile chimed in to support her.
"Then I wish her good luck. I hope she can surpass me," Yu Wenli said.
"The top salesperson’s spot is a little hot for me. I’m really not quite used to it."
"Stop with the sarcastic remarks, it’s so boring," Feng Xile said.
"It’s just sales performance. Zhiyi doesn’t care about it at all. Her boyfriend drives a car worth several million, not something certain people can compare to."
"What’s the use of saying all that? In the workplace, your performance is what speaks for you. Anything else is meaningless."
"But she gets to eat lavish meals and ride in luxury cars every day, unlike some people who still have to take the bus home," Feng Xile retorted.
"Say whatever you want. In any case, I’m the top salesperson, and I’m planning to pick up my own car next month. I just don’t know when you two will be getting yours."
"Our Zhiyi..."
She was halfway through her sentence when the automatic glass doors slid open. Everyone thought a customer had arrived.
But they were stunned to see that the person who walked in was Lin Jiang!
Feng Xile clamped her mouth shut and quickly grabbed Li Zhiyi’s arm.
"Your boyfriend’s here!"
As soon as she said that, everyone turned to look at Lin Jiang.
Li Zhiyi was the dealership’s great beauty. Many guys had pursued her, but none had succeeded.
Now that her boyfriend had arrived, they naturally had to get a good look at who he was.
Li Zhiyi was also a little surprised. She hadn’t expected Lin Jiang to show up so suddenly. She hurried over in her high heels.
"Brother Jiang, you’re here."
Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, noticing several people standing around Li Zhiyi.
"Are you guys in a meeting? You go ahead and talk, I’ll wait on the side."
"The meeting’s over. We were just helping your Zhiyi get some payback," Feng Xile said.
"Hm? What’s wrong?"
"Hey, don’t say that."
Li Zhiyi didn’t want Lin Jiang to worry about her, so she said:
"Brother Jiang, don’t listen to her. It’s nothing."
Lin Jiang didn’t respond to Li Zhiyi, but looked at Feng Xile instead.
"What exactly happened?"
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, don’t overthink it," Feng Xile said with a grin.
She knew it wasn’t a good time to say too much, since it was a matter involving money, after all.
"Why have you gone quiet? Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now?" Yu Wenli said blandly.
Lin Jiang glanced at her and recognized her as the salesperson who had pegged him for a poor loser when he came to buy a car.
"Yu Wenli, that’s enough," Feng Xile said. "Her boyfriend is here, so cut the useless talk."
"What do you mean, ’useless’? Weren’t you just showing off, saying her boyfriend is rich? Heh... If he’s so capable, have him boost her sales numbers. I’ll be waiting to see it."
Yu Wenli crossed her arms, speaking in a seductively provocative tone.
"It just so happens I don’t want to be the top salesperson anymore. I just wonder if there’s anyone who can take the title from me."
Although he didn’t know the whole story, he could guess from their snippets of conversation that Li Zhiyi’s sales performance was the problem.
Putting his arm around Li Zhiyi’s shoulder, Lin Jiang smiled and asked:
"Is your performance not doing so well?"
Li Zhiyi lowered her head and mumbled, "Yeah," almost inaudibly.
"How much are you short by?"
"Brother Jiang, please don’t ask. There’s still some time before the end of the month. I can catch up if I push myself."
’Knowing Li Zhiyi’s personality, it’ll probably be difficult to get the answer out of her.’
"How much is she short by?" Lin Jiang asked, looking at Feng Xile.
She held up two fingers. "A little less than 3 million."
"And here I was, thinking it was a big deal."
Lin Jiang patted Li Zhiyi’s shoulder. "Go write up an order for two GLEs."
"Huh?"
Everyone in the 4S dealership stared at Lin Jiang in astonishment.
’Just like that, two GLEs? Just how rich are you?!’
"Brother Jiang..." Li Zhiyi looked at Lin Jiang, so choked up she didn’t know what to say.
"It’s fine. Go write it up."
"Two GLEs aren’t enough," Yu Wenli muttered under her breath.
"Oh, right. I want the top-spec AMG versions."
