99: Chapter 99 Xu Qian's Promotion and First Meeting with Chu Muyun
Meanwhile, in Apartment 3201, Building 7 of the Shenjiang Bay Community in Magic City, Xu Qian woke up early.
She rubbed her eyes, stretched lazily, and stared at the chandelier on the bedroom ceiling for a while, lost in thought. Remembering that she had to go to the car dealership today, she rolled out of bed, went to the bathroom, washed up, and applied light makeup.
Afterwards, she went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out sliced bread, bacon, cabbage, eggs, and milk, preparing to make herself a sandwich.
The ingredients had been bought from the supermarket the day before, and the kitchen appliances were all fully equipped. She simply fried the bread, eggs, and bacon, washed the cabbage, and placed the eggs and bacon between two slices of bread; a simple sandwich was done.
Then, she heated a glass of whole milk. After quickly finishing her breakfast, she grabbed her bag and walked out of the house.
She first went to the 33rd floor, used her fingerprint to enter the super-sized flat, and found the car keys for the Aston Martin One-77 in the hallway drawer. Afterwards, she took the elevator down to the underground garage.
In truth, it wasn't because Xu Qian wanted to show off or experience driving a luxury car that she chose to drive this one.
It was because her boss, Xing Zhenkun, had called her yesterday. He had originally intended to come over yesterday to drive away the two supercars that Qin Yi had promised to lend him.
Unfortunately, Xu Qian happened to be busy moving house in her rented apartment at that time, Qin Yi was not in Magic City, and Xing Zhenkun was in a rush to accompany Chu Muyun to go shopping for furniture, so they had to let it go.
He asked Xu Qian to bring one over when she went to the car dealership this morning.
When Xu Qian was searching for the car keys, she weighed it in her mind. Although the price of the Aston Martin One-77 and the lamborghini Veneno were not much different, the chassis of the Aston Martin One-77 was slightly higher than the lamborghini Veneno, so she felt more confident driving it.
Therefore, without too much hesitation, Xu Qian decisively chose to drive the Aston Martin One-77.
During the Monday morning rush hour, the roads in Magic City were congested.
Xu Qian drove the 48-million-yuan supercar cautiously, keeping the speed at around 30 km/h. Whenever she encountered speed bumps or road sections that required slowing down, her speed would drop to around 20 km/h, and from time to time, electric scooters or shared bikes would overtake her.
The vehicles behind Xu Qian were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. But faced with such an expensive supercar, everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak.
When those vehicles finally couldn't bear it and chose to change lanes to overtake, and passed the supercar, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the person driving this luxury car was actually a beautiful woman. The office workers in Magic City suddenly became much more tolerant.
Just like that, Xu Qian drove slowly and cautiously all the way. The journey that should have taken an hour took her a full hour and a half.
By the time she finally drove the car to the Wanhao Car Dealership on Jiangzhong Road, it was already 9:30 AM.
Xu Qian carefully parked the car in front of the Wanhao Car Dealership and finally let out a long sigh of relief. However, when she opened the door and got out, she discovered that her boss Xing Zhenkun's car was parked right next to her.
"Oh no, oh no, I'm late... The boss is already here..." Xu Qian felt a bit anxious. She locked the car door, grabbed her bag, and trotted into the dealership.
At this moment, in the first-floor lobby of the dealership, Sales Manager Zhang Bo was standing in front of the sales staff, with his back to Xu Qian, conducting the weekly morning meeting. Xu Qian didn't hear what was said before, but it looked like it was about to end.
Zhang Bo shouted with a loud and powerful voice to the sales staff: "Everyone must continue to work hard and strive for greater success! Does everyone have confidence?!"
Zhang Bo was a bit puzzled. Compared to his own enthusiasm and passion, the expected unison response did not occur. Instead, these salespeople were looking at each other with playful expressions, and some were even whispering to each other.
Zhang Bo followed everyone's gaze and turned to look behind him, only to discover that Xu Qian had arrived.
Feeling the gaze of the crowd, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. She forced a smile, then lowered her head and trotted in front of Zhang Bo, saying in a low, apologetic voice: "Sorry Manager, I, I am late..."
Zhang Bo was stunned at first, and then immediately beamed with joy. However, Xu Qian, with her head lowered, did not see Zhang Bo's expression, and the sales staff behind them did not see it either.
Just as Zhang Bo was about to speak, he was interrupted by Dong Zhixuan.
Dong Zhixuan, the dealership's top salesperson, was unashamedly sizing up Xu Qian, the jealousy in her eyes growing more intense.
"Hey, I wonder who it is, turns out it's Xu Qian." A cold sneer curled on her lips, and her tone was full of mockery. "How is it? Does it feel good to hook up with a big tycoon? Tsk tsk tsk, look, everyone look," saying this, Dong Zhixuan took two steps forward, circled around Xu Qian, glanced at the bag, clothes, and shoes on Xu Qian, but did not notice the Rolex watch on Xu Qian's wrist. She continued in a bland tone, "Everyone guess, how much is this brand-name outfit of Xu Qian's worth? At least a hundred thousand, right?"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed colleague recognized the watch on Xu Qian's wrist, coughed lightly, and reminded with a smile: "It's more than a hundred thousand... Sister Zhixuan, you didn't see the watch on Xu Qian's hand, that's the Rolex Oyster Perpetual series, it costs nearly 600,000!"
Once these words were spoken, all the sales staff present were shocked and widened their eyes. Six hundred thousand! Xu Qian was wearing a luxury car on her wrist.
"How much? 600,000?" Dong Zhixuan opened her mouth wide, looking at Xu Qian in disbelief, her jealousy towards Xu Qian growing even stronger.
In her opinion, it was this little bitch Xu Qian who snatched the benefactor who should have belonged to her. If she had been at the dealership when Qin Yi came, there was no way it would have been Xu Qian's turn—a bottom-performing salesperson—to serve him...
Thinking of this, the look Dong Zhixuan gave Xu Qian turned even colder. With a cold snort, she continued to mock without restraint: "Pfft, I really didn't expect it. I never noticed it before. You usually pretend to be all serious and pure, like some innocent white lotus flower. It turns out, deep down, you're actually a vixen who relies on hooking up with tycoons to get ahead!"
Xu Qian frowned upon hearing this. She understood that Dong Zhixuan was deliberately humiliating her again. She suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at Dong Zhixuan with a calm gaze, chuckled, then raised her hand to brush her hair by her ear, and specifically shook the most expensive Rolex watch on her body in front of Dong Zhixuan.
"Hehe, Sister Zhixuan, are you talking about me, or are you talking about yourself?" Xu Qian smiled faintly, and then continued to taunt quietly, "Fine, even if I am a vixen, that's still better than being as desperate as you, right? At least the one I hooked up with is a young, handsome fresh meat, and you... oh my, it's really unbearable to look at..."
"You, you, you, you little bitch! Don't think that just because you hooked up with a tycoon, you can fly up to the branch and become a Phoenix! Let me tell you, a sparrow is a sparrow; no matter how high it flies, it will never become a Phoenix!" Dong Zhixuan didn't expect Xu Qian to dare to talk back so directly, so she puffed out her chest, of which she was so proud, like a hen ready to fight, and clamored at Xu Qian.
However, before Xu Qian could retort further, she saw Zhang Bo's face darken. He glared at Dong Zhixuan and scolded in a deep voice: "Dong Zhixuan, shut your stinky mouth!"
Hearing Zhang Bo scold her, Dong Zhixuan was stunned, then immediately put on a look of grievance and dissatisfaction, grumbling aggrievedly: "Manager... how can you talk to me like that... Xu Qian relies on having hooked up with a tycoon, so she doesn't come to work at the dealership on Saturday, and today she's even half an hour late! Even I, a top salesperson, have never been this arrogant?! She just has better luck and hooked up with a big tycoon, what's there to be so smug about!"
Just then, Xing Zhenkun heard the commotion downstairs and walked out of his office.
Arriving at the railing of the second-floor stairs, Xing Zhenkun saw that it was Xu Qian who had arrived. A smile instantly appeared on his face. Not paying attention to what everyone was arguing about, he directly clapped his hands, interrupting the chatter.
Everyone looked towards the second floor at the sound, and saw the boss, Xing Zhenkun, waving at Xu Qian and shouting: "Xiao Qian is here, did you drive the car over?"
Xu Qian nodded, hurriedly took the car key out of her bag, waved it at Xing Zhenkun, and said with a smile: "Boss, I drove it over. It's just that the car is too valuable, I didn't dare to drive it too fast, and there was a bit of traffic on the road, so I came a bit late..."
Xing Zhenkun smiled when he heard this, waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned: "It's fine! From now on, you can come whenever you want, no need to clock in."
Afterwards, Xing Zhenkun beckoned to her again and continued, "Come up, I have something to tell you. Oh, right," saying this, he looked at Zhang Bo on the side and continued, "Zhang Bo, you come up too." After saying that, he turned and walked towards his office again.
Xu Qian and Zhang Bo looked at each other, then nodded slightly, and walked towards the second floor first.
Before turning around, Zhang Bo glared at Dong Zhixuan, pointed his finger at her, and warned in a serious tone: "Dong Zhixuan, try using your brain before you speak and figure out the situation! If you dare to provoke Xu Qian again in the future, you can pack your things and get lost! Damn it, you have no sense at all, can't even tell who's the boss around here!"
After saying this, Zhang Bo took two quick steps to catch up with Xu Qian, and the two walked side by side towards Xing Zhenkun's office.
Dong Zhixuan stood there with a livid face, watching the backs of the two as they left, her heart full of unwillingness and anger.
As for the others, they stood far away from Dong Zhixuan by tacit agreement. Even those who usually had a good relationship with Dong Zhixuan avoided her as if she were a plague god, for fear that getting involved would bring them bad luck...
At this moment, the office door was open, and Xu Qian and Zhang Bo walked straight in.
As soon as they entered, their gazes were involuntarily attracted by the beautiful woman standing next to Xing Zhenkun.
She had a graceful figure and an outstanding temperament, and was wearing a beige professional OL suit, which made her look extremely capable.
Seeing their confused expressions, Xing Zhenkun smiled and introduced them: "Hey, let me introduce you first. This is the new General Manager of the Flying Dragon Supercar Club I have appointed — Chu Muyun!" Saying this, he raised his hand to signal to Chu Muyun beside him. Chu Muyun smiled and nodded at Xu Qian and the other, which counted as a greeting.
Immediately afterwards, Xing Zhenkun raised his hand, pointed at Zhang Bo, and introduced him to Chu Muyun: "This is Zhang Bo, the manager of the sales department of the car dealership. He has been with me since the dealership was founded, and he can be considered an old hand at the dealership now. Mu Yun, from now on, whenever the club has business related to cars, you can go to him. He will definitely be able to handle it for you properly."
"Hello, Manager Zhang. Please take care of me in the future." Chu Muyun smiled at Zhang Bo and then took the initiative to reach out her hand.
As soon as Zhang Bo heard the name 'Chu Muyun', he immediately reacted: So, this is the woman the boss has been longing for.
Seeing her take the initiative to shake hands with him, Zhang Bo hurriedly reached out his hand. However, he only dared to shake it lightly. The moment their hands touched, Zhang Bo immediately retracted his hand and said respectfully and politely: "Haha, hello, Manager Chu. Manager Chu, you are too polite. If there is anything I, Old Zhang, can help with in the future, Manager Chu, please just say so."
Immediately afterwards, Xing Zhenkun's gaze looked at Xu Qian, and he introduced her to Chu Muyun: "This beautiful lady is named Xu Qian, and she was a salesperson at the dealership before. However, she won't be for much longer."
Saying this, Xing Zhenkun smiled at Xu Qian and continued unhurriedly: "Xu Qian, in view of your outstanding performance during this period and your solid professional ability, I announce that from today on, you are officially the Deputy Manager of the sales department of Wanhao Car Dealership!"
Upon hearing this, before Xu Qian could react, a hint of playfulness flashed in Chu Muyun's eyes. She carefully sized up Xu Qian, the corners of her mouth raised in an arc, and she thought to herself: 'So this is Xu Qian... Her appearance is not bad, she is quite tall, and her figure is also good. It seems that Young Master Qin's taste is still quite good...'
