“You mean new marketing methods?” After being in the capital for so long, Yang Lili had never heard any whispers about delivery services.
She subconsciously guessed that this marketing method was unlikely to be conceived by a local enterprise; it was more likely something that woman she had always feared would do.
Therefore, Yang Lili frowned and asked, “Which company are you talking about?”
“It’s a clothing enterprise from a small county town, called Shu Se Group, I think. Sister Li, what are you planning to do to deal with her?” Yang Gang looked at Yang Lili eagerly, wishing he could take people to get revenge right now.
Meeting Yang Gang’s impatient gaze, Yang Lili’s lips curled upwards slightly, a self-mocking smile appearing on her face, before she spoke leisurely, “I don’t have the ability to go head-to-head with Shu Se Group right now.” Da Feng Novel Network
“Why?” Yang Gang looked at Yang Lili in confusion, thinking she was just unwilling to meddle. He hurried to Yang Lili’s side, with a fawning expression, and said, “Sister, why don’t you have the ability? In my heart, you are a person of both beauty and intelligence! That’s just an enterprise that came from the mountainside. With our company’s connections, dealing with her wouldn’t be a simple matter, would it?”
Faced with Yang Gang’s flattery, Yang Lili waved her hand and said coldly, “Enough, stop praising me. You’re such an idiot. If you want to deal with someone, you don’t even bother to investigate her background properly!
Let me tell you, Shu Se Group and our company both came from J Province. We’ve had dealings back in J Province! The person in charge of Shu Se Group is far more powerful than I am! It was precisely because there was no room for me to develop in J Province that I moved the company to the capital.”
Upon hearing Yang Lili’s words, Yang Gang stood there stunned, meaning he could only swallow his humiliation today?!
Just as he felt indignant about it, Yang Lili’s voice rang in his ears again, “Although I can’t go head-to-head with Shu Se Group or resort to old tricks, I’ve already thought of a more perfect way to deal with Chen Lishu!”
Hearing Yang Lili’s words, Yang Gang’s eyes lit up, and he then obsequiously moved closer to her and asked, “Sister, what exactly is this method you’re talking about?”
Yang Lili placed her hand by her mouth and said, “It’s a secret! I’m about to meet with the election supervisor from the newspaper, Mr. Wu. Just wait, Chen Lishu is bound to lose this time.”
Three days later.
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong arrived at the company early, hoping to finish the company matters as soon as possible so they could have some alone time, as Gu Xingdong had to leave the capital early the next morning.
Today’s main task was to inspect the work situation in the factory. Chen Lishu went with Zhang Bin, while Gu Xingdong stayed at the company to avoid distracting Chen Lishu.
----
*Click*, the sound of a door opening echoed.
“Why are you back so soon? Did you forget something?” Gu Xingdong put down his teacup and turned his chair to look at the person who entered. When he saw it was a man, his brow furrowed slightly.
Lu Gen walked expressionlessly in front of Gu Xingdong.
Three days! These two had been inseparable for three days! He hadn’t found any opportunity to execute his plan! This made Lu Gen both angry and resentful.
However, it was fortunate that as soon as he arrived at the company today, he saw Chen Lishu and Zhang Bin leave without Gu Xingdong. After inquiring, he learned of Chen Lishu’s subsequent movements and knew that Gu Xingdong was in the CEO’s office.
Gu Xingdong, seeing Lu Gen staring at him, had a bad premonition. He asked in a low voice, “Who are you?”
Lu Gen did not answer Gu Xingdong’s question but retorted sarcastically, “Your surname is Gu? It should be alright to call you Comrade Gu, right?”
Gu Xingdong raised an eyebrow and straightened up. Although his face showed no expression, he exuded an air of unspoken authority.
Lu Gen immediately felt a sense of pressure emanating from him. He unconsciously swallowed and stammered, “Comrade Gu, are you living comfortably, being waited on hand and foot?”
“What exactly do you want to say?” Gu Xingdong sized up Lu Gen, finding his accusatory demeanor utterly baffling.
They were both suitors of Chen Lishu, so why should he be looked down upon?
Lu Gen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with malice. He took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Gu Xingdong, saying haughtily, “You’re young and capable, so why do you have to rely on a woman’s support?
You must have a family. Aren’t you afraid this matter will reach your family, bringing them shame? This card has 20,000 yuan. Take this money and leave Ms. Chen. Someone of your status doesn’t deserve her!
I warn you, if you dare to pester Ms. Chen again, I can’t guarantee whether your actions here will be exposed! In places like your hometown, isn’t reputation the most important thing?!”
Gu Xingdong glanced at the bank card on the table, leaned back in his chair lazily, and asked in a low, cold voice, “So, after all that, what is your relationship with Ms. Chen? By what right do you interfere in our affairs?”
Since the main person wasn’t present, Lu Gen had nothing to fear. With a straight face, he lied, “You’re just a tool Chen brought in to provoke me. If you don’t want to lose too badly, take this bank card and get lost. Don’t end up with nothing.”
The coldness in Gu Xingdong’s eyes intensified. Just as he stood up, ready to resolve this problem, a sharp voice called out from the doorway.
“What bank card? What are you trying to gain?”
Both men in the office instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
When Gu Xingdong saw that it was Chen Lishu, the coldness in his eyes instantly dissipated, leaving only affection. Lu Gen, standing beside him, broke out in a cold sweat.
Didn’t she go to inspect the factory? Chen Lishu was a complete workaholic; wouldn’t it take her half a day to understand the details? Why was she back so early today?
If Chen Lishu heard his harsh words just now, wouldn’t all the pretense he had put on in front of her these past few days collapse?
“Ms. Chen…” Lu Gen clenched his fists in frustration, putting on a friendly smile as he explained, “It’s nothing. I just saw Comrade Gu alone in the office, so I was chatting with him to get acquainted.”
Getting acquainted? If Chen Lishu remembered correctly, their relationship wasn’t close enough for him to enter the CEO’s office at will and yell at her man!
For such a subordinate who lacked discretion, Chen Lishu said impatiently, “Director Lu, the company’s new sales plan awaits your investigation into customer satisfaction. Why are you wasting time here?
If I recall correctly, this isn’t the first time you’ve made this mistake. Three strikes and you’re out. If there’s a next time, Director Lu might as well visit the human resources department himself!”
