55: Chapter 54, Shen Binan is going on a date!
It was another new day.
Fang Yi finished washing up and rode his bicycle to take Cai Cai to school.
After dropping Cai Cai off at school, Fang Yi headed straight to the company.
Upon arriving at the company and clocking in with his fingerprint, Fang Yi walked into the office and saw a scene of bustling activity.
Huo Xiaoxuan, who usually greeted Fang Yi every day, was on her phone at her desk, looking agitated, her adorable face flushed red, and a faint fragrant sweat glistened on her fair forehead.
The others were just as busy, even busier than usual.
Fang Yi wondered to himself, why is everyone so energetic today?
Fang Yi sat down at his desk and, as usual, planned to take a nap.
He propped his feet up on the desk, lay back in his chair, covered his face with a book, and prepared to drift off to sleep.
However, before Fang Yi could fall asleep, the book covering his face was taken away.
Huo Xiaoxuan, cheeks puffed out, said, “Wow, you can still sleep through this?
I’m really impressed.”
Fang Yi, startled, then laughed, “Let the noise be as loud as thunder outside; I sleep undisturbed.”
“That makes sense… although I kind of don’t get it, but it sounds impressive.”
“Is it payday today?” Fang Yi asked.
“No, payday is on the tenth of next month,” Huo Xiaoxuan said.
“You guys are busy as dogs even without pay,” Fang Yi said.
Huo Xiaoxuan replied, “That’s normal, it’s at the end of every month.”
“The end of the month already?
Time flies fast…” Fang Yi sighed.
“Yeah, it’s the end of the month.
If you don’t close ten deals, you’re out,” Huo Xiaoxuan suddenly said, then asked, “How many deals have you closed?”
Huo Xiaoxuan immediately widened her watery eyes in shock, “You haven’t closed any, have you?”
Fang Yi smirked and laughed, “I’m not afraid.”
Huo Xiaoxuan asked curiously, “Why not?”
Fang Yi said mysteriously, “Because I have a ‘backer’.”
“A backer?” Huo Xiaoxuan blinked her big watery eyes and asked, “Who’s your backer?”
“I won’t tell you,” Fang Yi said.
Huo Xiaoxuan, curiosity piqued but met with that answer, instantly felt frustrated, but Fang Yi ignored it completely.
“Hmph, I’m not going to waste time bantering with you, I still have one more deal to close.
I can’t be bothered with you.” After saying that, Huo Xiaoxuan returned to her desk and started making phone calls to drum up business.
I mean, acquiring clients, not that other kind of ‘picking up clients.’
Now, Fang Yi couldn’t sleep anymore, but he also felt bored.
He looked at his empty desk and thought that he should ask Shen Binan to set up a computer for him some day, so he wouldn’t be bored.
Just when Fang Yi was about to die of boredom, Ding Miaoyan walked up to him.
She saw his feet on the desk and her expression was not pleasant.
“Can you show a little professionalism?
This is an office, not your home,” Ding Miaoyan said coldly.
“Knowing that and you still won’t take your feet off?” Ding Miaoyan snapped.
Fang Yi obediently took his feet down, then with a smile said, “Minister Ding, what can I do for you?”
“Where are the deals you closed?
Show them to me!” Ding Miaoyan demanded imperiously.
“Um…” Fang Yi covered his face and said, “I’m kind of busy now, maybe we can talk about this next time.”
Ding Miaoyan sneered, “It’s not that you didn’t have time, you just didn’t sign any contracts, right?”
Fang Yi said, “It’s not that I didn’t sign any, I could have if I could.
“Keep spinning your tales!
I want to see what you can come up with.”
Fang Yi’s expression turned extremely serious and stern, “I initially thought, considering the life-and-death friendship between us two, we wouldn’t need to talk about these things.
But to my surprise, you’ve become so mercenary, can’t you show a bit of humanity?
This is truly disappointing.”
In the end, Fang Yi spoke with heartfelt sorrow.
Ding Miaoyan was stunned.
She had seen shameless people before but never someone as shameless as this.
Ding Miaoyan suddenly slammed the table hard, making a loud bang, silencing the previously noisy sales department instantly as dozens of gazes quickly turned toward them.
“What are you looking at!
Get signing those contracts!
Anyone who doesn’t complete their tasks today, just get out!” Ding Miaoyan shouted loudly, her aura formidable, and just with that shout, no one dared to make a sound.
It was like the movie had paused for a second or two, then people quickly got into action, calling on phones, passing documents, as if they hadn’t noticed what had happened here.
Fang Yi looked at Ding Miaoyan, whose face was as cold as frost, and thought to himself, damn, she’s really a tigress!
“Business is business, personal is personal, don’t mix up other stuff with me,” Ding Miaoyan stared at Fang Yi as she spoke.
Fang Yi sighed and said in a rascally manner, “Alright then, what do you want?”
Seeing Fang Yi’s indifferent, thick-skinned attitude, Ding Miaoyan was really at a loss.
This guy was shameless to the extreme, impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and he even had Binnan Shen as his backer.
Ding Miaoyan was really speechless.
“You…” Ding Miaoyan suddenly leaned forward, whispering, “Don’t think that with Director Shen backing you, you can rest easy.
I will consult with Director Shen right away, and I believe with Director Shen’s sound judgment, he will give me the best advice.”
Binnan was brought into this.
Before Fang Yi could respond, Ding Miaoyan turned and left the sales department.
Fang Yi, unashamedly, stood up and went to the area designated for drinking water next to the sales department.
There was a coffee machine, a soybean milk machine, and a water dispenser there.
Fang Yi had just filled a paper cup with coffee, leaning against the sink, took a few sips, and lit a cigarette.
Just as Fang Yi had taken a couple of drags, Zheng Pengfei came in holding a cup.
Seeing Fang Yi smoking, Zheng Pengfei’s eyebrows shot up in anger, his face flushing with fury, he reprimanded, “Fang Yi!
This isn’t your smoking area.
Get to the smoking section!”
Fang Yi replied leisurely, “Manager Zheng, when did you become so righteous?
Zheng Pengfei’s mouth twitched, he caught the undertone in Fang Yi’s words, mocking him for yesterday in the canteen, where he saw Zhou Peilan and Huo Xiaoxuan surrounded by others and ran away.
But Zheng Pengfei wouldn’t just admit it, he coldly smirked, “Fang Yi, you’ve gone against me time after time, don’t think just because Director Shen covers for you, you can do whatever you want.”
Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, “What can you do to me?” With that, he took another drag of his cigarette, exhaling the smoke onto Zheng Pengfei’s face, which was clearly a provocation; Zheng Pengfei couldn’t believe it otherwise.
Even in his rage, Zheng Pengfei was powerless, yes, what could he do?
Fang Yi had Binnan’s protection!
Fang Yi, one day I’ll have you kicked out of this company!” After saying that, Zheng Pengfei left without even getting his water.
Fang Yi watched the furiously departing Zheng Pengfei, his lips curling up, thinking to himself that although I can’t deal with Ding Miaoyan, dealing with you, my friend, would be as easy as flipping my hand.
Fang Yi felt that to have a comfortable time in the company, he had to kick out the guy who opposed him.
When it was time to finish work, Fang Yi left the sales department right on time, feeling that punctuality was the mark of a good employee.
This earned him displeased looks from Huo Xiaoxuan, who still had to work overtime, and many other sales department employees felt the same.
Fang Yi arrived at the president’s office and found Binnan Shen tidying up his desk, couldn’t help but say, “How come you are so on time today?”
“Because I have a date,” Binnan Shen said.
“A date?” Fang Yi was taken aback, immediately asking, “With a man or a woman?”
Binnan Shen stopped her hands, her attractive lips curving into a cryptic smile, “A man.”
