111: clown

Lin Chao's voice was very soft, yet it spread clearly across the entire quiet office area.

"A talent like you—how could I bear to fire you?"

Pfft—

A colleague nearby couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing!

This laugh was like a signal, instantly igniting the bizarre atmosphere in the entire office.

Everyone suppressed their laughter, their shoulders shaking as they looked at Lin Guodong with eyes full of sympathy.

The madness on Lin Guodong's face instantly froze, replaced by a wave of burning shame!

Lin Chao didn't bother to pay any more attention to this buffoon who had already suffered social death.

His gaze turned toward Yan Qiaoqiao: "Yan Qiaoqiao."

"I'll send a few orders to you on wechat later; help me enter them into the system."

"Okay, Super... Supervisor Lin!" Yan Qiaoqiao immediately agreed, crisp and neat.

However, this simple conversation was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts!

Orders?!

Entering orders?!

A quick-witted colleague's eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "Holy crap! Supervisor Lin, you closed more deals?"

Another person also realized, slapping their thigh!

"I knew it! No wonder Supervisor Lin didn't come to the company this morning; he was out running business again!"

"My god, he just became supervisor and he's already closing deals back-to-back. He's too hardworking!"

Even Shen Zhixia, who had been maintaining a cold face, now had a faint, imperceptible trace of approval in her gaze as she looked at Lin Chao.

She turned her head, her icy gaze stabbing into Lin Guodong like a knife once more.

"Did you hear that?"

"Supervisor Lin was promoted to supervisor, yet he is still fighting on the front lines of business!"

"And what about you? Your performance is nothing to show for, yet you only know how to file secret complaints and stir up trouble behind people's backs!"

"Shouldn't you all reflect properly on yourselves?!"

Every word from Shen Zhixia was like a resounding slap, fiercely striking Lin Guodong's face!

His cheeks burned with pain, turning so red they almost looked ready to drip blood!

But in his heart, he still held onto a final glimmer of hope!

So what if he closed some deals?

He must have been afraid of getting caught for being absent, so he just went out and closed two small orders to shut everyone up!

Yes! It must be like that!

He didn't believe that in just one morning, Lin Chao could have closed any earth-shattering big deal!

While Lin Guodong was frantically building himself up psychologically, Lin Chao had already returned to his supervisor's office, and Shen Zhixia also walked toward the director's office in her high heels.

Once the two great mountains pressing down on them left, the entire Market Department Two instantly came back to life.

Then, Yan Qiaoqiao's phone went 'ding-dong' as she received a message from Lin Chao.

She clicked it subconsciously, and with just one look, she froze in place as if a binding spell had been cast on her!

She suddenly took a sharp breath: "My god..."

"Lin Chao... Supervisor Lin... he closed... such a huge deal?!"

This exclamation instantly drew everyone's attention!

The colleague closest to her lunged over and poked his head in to look.

"Let me see how big it is..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes instantly went wide!

Following that, more and more people crowded around, stretching their necks like hungry chicks waiting to be fed.

Then, the entire Market Department Two completely exploded!

"Am I seeing this right?! massagers with a unit price of 128,888... fifty units?!"

"And this! 8,888 massagers... three hundred units?!"

"Below! There's more below! Basic models... one thousand units!"

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Quick! Someone calculate the total?! My math is bad; I've been dazed by this string of numbers!"

The entire office instantly turned into a boiling marketplace!

Exclamations, the sound of people taking sharp breaths, and the pitter-patter of calculator keys rang out in a chorus!

This commotion even disturbed Market Department One next door, and many people ran over to watch the excitement.

When they saw the order details, they also collectively fell into a state of petrification!

This... what kind of divine order is this?!

This is simply the largest order their Linhai Branch Company has seen since its establishment several years ago!

Without exception!

Amidst the clamor and excitement, only Lin Guodong stood in place, looking lost and dejected.

He listened to those exaggerated numbers in his ears and saw the expressions on his colleagues' faces as if they had seen a ghost; his entire brain went blank, buzzing incessantly.

In his daze, he had only one thought.

How is this possible?

This is absolutely impossible!

With their small, broken brand that didn't even have a 5% market share, how could they sign an order with such astronomical figures?!

Fake!

It must be fake!

While Lin Guodong was still in shock, a colleague mercilessly began to mock him: "Lin Guodong, Supervisor Lin didn't come for one morning, and he signed a twelve-million-yuan deal!"

He intentionally emphasized the words 'twelve million,' each word landing like a resounding slap!

"And you?!" That colleague suddenly pointed at Lin Guodong, his voice rising sharply. "You fooled around outside for a whole half-day yesterday! And you only sold two crappy basic models!"

"Adding up to only 5,776 yuan!"

"I've already fucking calculated it for you!"

"Where do you get the face to stand here and question Supervisor Lin's performance?!"

"Pfft, hahahahaha—!"

These words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the powder keg of the entire office!

The long-suppressed laughter could no longer be held back and erupted boisterously!

Another colleague immediately picked up the conversation, his tone full of admiration for Lin Chao and disdain for Lin Guodong.

"Exactly! Do you really think large clients of this ten-million-level just blow in with the wind?"

"God knows how much hardship Supervisor Lin endured and how many grievances he suffered in private to secure this lead!"

"How many dinners he attended, how much alcohol he drank, and how many nice things he had to say!"

"You, Lin Guodong, only have eyes for whether someone clocked in at the office in the morning!"

"Vision! Do you understand?"

That person tapped his chest with pained conviction: "This is the gap in vision between people!"

As soon as these words were out, there was another bout of uncontrollable, muffled laughter.

"Hey, hey, hey, alright, that's enough!" A male colleague who usually loved to joke around intentionally stepped out to mediate.

He winked at everyone and lowered his voice, saying in an exaggerated tone, "All of you say a bit less; don't make our Big Lin suffer a mental breakdown!"

"Otherwise, he'll say we're all collectively kissing Supervisor Lin's ass again!"

The irony in these words was so thick it couldn't be dissolved!

Someone immediately caught the main point of his words and asked back with a mischievous grin, "You're still calling him Big Lin?"

"After today's events, does he still have the face to continue calling our Supervisor Lin 'Little Lin'?"

Another colleague gave a 'hehe' laugh and picked up this lethal topic: "That's not necessarily true."

His gaze suddenly became incredibly lewd, full of implication.
