Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Selling Sexy Lingerie?

"You’re on your own. Our Manager Li isn’t exactly the easygoing type, and her tone didn’t sound very friendly."

Sun Yanzi snickered, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.

"I don’t believe it. What’s the worst she can do, eat me alive?"

Jiang Fan stood up defiantly, a steamed bun in his left hand and a carton of milk in his right, and strode toward Li Muwan’s office.

"Manager Li? You were looking for me?"

Jiang Fan asked casually as he pushed open the door.

"Eating breakfast during work hours. That’s a 200 fine. Go to HR and pay it yourself in a bit."

Li Muwan glanced up at him and said coldly.

"???"

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened.

"The company policy doesn’t say anything about not being allowed to eat breakfast during work hours!"

"This is a setup! I object!"

"Then go ahead and report me. I’m in charge of the sales department. If I say the rule exists, it exists."

"Talking back? Make that a 500 fine!"

"You!!"

Jiang Fan immediately deflated. When you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.

"Manager Li, look, it’s my first offense. How about we forget the fine? What did you need me for?"

"Just tell me what you need done."

Jiang Fan thumped his chest confidently.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Li Muwan suddenly looked up, sizing him up and down.

"Absolutely!"

"I do have a task for you. If you complete it, I won’t just waive the 500 fine, I’ll also give you a 2,000 reward."

"And if you exceed expectations, I’ll add another 1,000 out of my own pocket!"

Three thousand!

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

"Manager Li, what’s the task? Just say the word."

"Take a look at this first."

Li Muwan didn’t say anything else, simply taking out a folder and placing it on her desk.

Jiang Fan stepped forward, opened the folder, and his expression was a sight to behold after he finished reading.

"Uh, this is..."

"Me?"

"It’s... not really appropriate for me to handle this, is it?"

Jiang Fan swallowed hard.

"What’s not appropriate about it? You’re an employee of Xuerong, so naturally, some things will fall to you."

"This store’s revenue has dropped horrendously. We’ve sent several people, and none of them could find any problems."

"It’s even been consistently operating at a loss recently."

Li Muwan said.

"But it’s a lingerie store... and you want me to go help out for two days and find the problem..."

"Couldn’t you please just spare me?"

"Just go ahead and fine me the 200. Can’t you send someone else?"

Jiang Fan’s face was a mask of misery. No matter how he looked at it, this was a humiliating task.

A grown man selling lingerie... and not just any lingerie, but sexy women’s lingerie.

’It feels like the whole world has gone mad.’

"Didn’t you just say you’d do anything I asked?"

"This is settled. Two days. I’m only giving you two days."

"If you can’t do it, I’m docking half a month of your pay!"

"What?! Isn’t that a bit too harsh?"

But ignoring Jiang Fan’s look of utter injustice, Li Muwan waved him away without even looking up. "That’s all. You can go now."

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and shot her a venomous glare.

’All he could do was be angry.’

’After all, she was his direct supervisor.’

Clutching the folder and gritting his teeth, he left her office and returned to his desk.

Before he could even catch his breath, his phone lit up with a message from Li Muwan.

I want to see you in that store within two hours. Otherwise, I’m docking 2,000 from your pay to start!

He felt like screaming. ’This is madness!’ He hadn’t even mentally prepared himself, and she was already breathing down his neck.

"Well now, cutie. Looks like you’ve run into some trouble. Want to come to my office for a... private discussion?"

Jiang Fan was once again visually accosted by her ample bosom.

"That crazy bitch! I don’t know what’s gotten into her, but she’s actually making me go sell lingerie at a lingerie store. Has she even considered that I just started this job?!"

"Oh, that store? You’re in for a real treat. Several people have already checked it out and couldn’t find a single thing wrong."

As a supervisor in the sales department, Sun Yanzi was naturally in the know about these things.

"That’s why I’m saying the woman’s gone crazy. If professionals couldn’t find the problem, what good am I going to do?"

Jiang Fan said with a sigh, rolling his eyes.

"What if you’re the one who can pull it off?"

"A man can never say he can’t perform, you know."

"That’s right, Fan. You’re not... limp, are you? Want me to help you test it out?"

"Hey, I can lend a hand, too."

"Get out of here. Don’t you have a boyfriend? Let me do it."

Zhou Lele’s coquettish voice whispered hotly in Jiang Fan’s ear.

"AHEM, AHEM. No, that’s not necessary."

’I feel just like Tang Monk trapped in the Silk Cave.’

’I’m a virile young man. What if I lose control... I’ll be wasted away to skin and bones! They’ll suck my marrow dry!’

"Thank you all for the kind offers, but I can handle myself!"

"Jiang Fan, come with me. Now!"

Just as Jiang Fan was about to leave, Yin Ruxue suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Chairwoman."

"Chairwoman."

"Chairwoman."

...

The others were startled to see Yin Ruxue and quickly greeted her before scurrying back to their desks.

"What’s wrong? Why the rush?"

Jiang Fan was confused. He had never seen Yin Ruxue so flustered.

"I’ll tell you on the way. Go get the car. I’ll wait for you at the entrance."

"Okay."

The moment Yin Ruxue got in the car, she told Jiang Fan, "To Mengmeng’s school!"

"What’s wrong with Mengmeng?"

Jiang Fan was startled. No wonder Yin Ruxue was so upset.

"She and a few other children at school ganged up and beat up some other kids. Now their parents are at the school."

Hearing this, Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

’Holy shit! She put it into practice already?’

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Put what into practice?"

Yin Ruxue was clearly distracted and didn’t quite hear what Jiang Fan had said.

"Nothing, nothing."

Jiang Fan quickly shut his mouth and focused on driving, immediately picking up speed. ’If she finds out I’m the one who taught Mengmeng... she’ll skin me alive!’

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Fan and Yin Ruxue arrived at the school, where a teacher was already waiting for them at the entrance.

"Mengmeng’s parents, you’re finally here! Please, hurry inside. The other parents are very agitated."

"Our principal and the teachers are all in there now."

"Teacher Ouyang, how could something like this happen? Mengmeng is always so well-behaved at school. How could she possibly organize a group to beat up other children?"

Yin Ruxue asked, confused.

"Well... I’m not entirely sure myself. Mengmeng hasn’t said a single word this whole time."

"The other children who were beaten seem to want to say something, but they’re too scared..."

"Too scared to talk?"

Jiang Fan froze.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue. ’This little girl is ruthless.’

"Yes."

Teacher Ouyang also looked troubled as she quickly led the two of them to the office.

The moment they stepped inside, they heard several men roaring.

"Principal Huang, you need to give us an explanation for this!"

"We pay such expensive tuition fees every year. Is it so our children can come to school and get beaten up?"

"Don’t you go protecting that little brat. I’m telling you, a kid like that is just asking for it. A good beating or two is all she needs."

"Who did you say you were going to hit?"
