Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Running into an Acquaintance at the Lingerie Store

"SMOOCH!"

Mengmeng suddenly grabbed Jiang Fan’s head and planted a big, loud kiss on his cheek.

"Mengmeng loves Daddy the most!"

Only after the kiss did she pick up her snacks and go inside with her teacher.

That big kiss left Jiang Fan a little stunned, a soft spot in his heart deeply touched.

"Now that this is settled, let’s head back to the company."

"I’ll handle the follow-up. You don’t need to worry about it."

Jiang Fan didn’t argue with Yin Ruxue, simply nodding in agreement.

But the moment the company was mentioned, a headache began to form.

He hadn’t forgotten that he still had to go to that lingerie store...

Yin Ruxue noticed Jiang Fan’s troubled expression from the side, but she didn’t ask about it.

That was his own business.

Back at the company, just as Jiang Fan reached his desk, Li Muwan appeared before him.

"Where have you been?"

"I told you to be at the store within two hours. Why didn’t I see you?"

"That’s a 2,000 fine."

Li Muwan’s cold, impersonal voice made Jiang Fan’s anger flare.

"The Chairman sent me out on an errand. Why don’t you ask her?"

Jiang Fan’s attitude was terrible, his tone bordering on hostile.

"I’m in charge of the Sales Department. Even the Chairman doesn’t interfere."

"And for talking back to your superior and skipping work without reason, that’s another 1,000 fine!"

"You..."

Jiang Fan was so angry he was speechless.

He really couldn’t figure out how he had offended this woman. It seemed like she was deliberately trying to make his life difficult.

"If you don’t want to work here, you can submit your resignation anytime."

"Work? Of course I’ll work! Why shouldn’t I? It’s not my fault."

"But if I complete the task, you have to increase my bonus to 5,000, and you can’t dock my pay!"

"Otherwise, go ahead and fine me. I’m not going."

His stubborn streak flared up. Jiang Fan plopped down in his chair, looking like he was ready to give up completely.

"Fine. You’ve got personality."

"I hope your abilities can match that personality. I agree to your terms. Now get the hell over to the branch store."

Li Muwan pointed at the door.

Without even sparing her a glance, Jiang Fan grabbed the folder and left.

As they watched Jiang Fan’s retreating back, Sun Yanzi’s voice drifted over.

"Mu Wan, what are you doing? Why are you always targeting a newcomer like him?"

"I’m not targeting him. This is what he’s supposed to do. If he can’t do it, then he’s not worthy of..."

But Li Muwan stopped herself mid-sentence.

"Not worthy of what?"

Sun Yanzi pressed.

"Don’t ask about some things. You should get back to work. Revenue at many of the company’s stores has been sliding recently, and it’s quite serious."

"No matter what, we have to find the problem. See if it’s an issue with new employee training or with product quality."

"And don’t forget, we have a rival to worry about."

"Okay."

Seeing that Li Muwan didn’t want to elaborate, Sun Yanzi didn’t press the issue, but she made a mental note of it.

It wasn’t often an interesting man showed up at the company; she didn’t want to see him scared off by Li Muwan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan followed the address and arrived at the store.

Just standing at the entrance was a dazzling, overwhelming sight.

Sizes of every kind, styles of every variety.

Inside, two or three scattered customers were laughing as they browsed.

But they were all women. There wasn’t a single man.

Their male companions all stood waiting outside, staring blankly at the sky.

None of them dared to go in, afraid of being labeled a pervert.

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward. He really didn’t want to go in, but then he thought of that slave driver, Li Muwan...

For the sake of the money, Jiang Fan steeled himself and walked inside.

The moment he entered, he drew the attention of the two sales clerks and three female customers.

"Hello, sir. Are you..."

A clerk quickly approached him.

Jiang Fan just looked at the two clerks and raised an eyebrow.

Then he handed over the folder in his hand.

"I was sent by headquarters. Your store’s revenue hasn’t been great, so the company sent me to help out."

The two clerks opened the folder and saw the official company seal and Li Muwan’s signature.

They were immediately mostly convinced.

"Why would headquarters send a man? This is lingerie sales."

The two exchanged a look, still skeptical of Jiang Fan’s identity. They immediately made a phone call and, after receiving confirmation, handed the folder back to him.

"Um... your position is store manager. The two of us will report to you."

"Ahem, well, I’ve never done this kind of work before. I’ll be learning from you."

"You don’t have to treat me as the manager."

Feeling everyone’s strange gazes on him, especially the men outside who were giving him teasing looks, Jiang Fan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Internally, he cursed Li Muwan and every female ancestor she had for the past eighteen generations.

"Ladies, this is our new store manager."

"Would you like him to give you some recommendations?"

"Sure, you two can step aside. Let him give us some recommendations."

"The young man is quite handsome."

"So, what size do you think I should wear? Which set would suit me?"

One of the tall, beautiful women sized up Jiang Fan, then jutted out her chest and asked.

Jiang Fan’s face flushed red.

As a complete novice when it came to romance, he had never even held a woman’s hand. And now, suddenly, this.

He was afraid he might get a nosebleed.

"Um, ma’am... AHEM."

"Your size appears to be a C. I’d recommend this ’Midsummer Night’s Dream’ set."

"It’s a matching lingerie set that will perfectly accentuate your impressive figure."

"It’s also one of our company’s flagship, best-selling products."

Jiang Fan said, forcing the words out.

"Not bad, little guy. You could even tell that I’m a C."

"Then what about me? What should I wear?"

As this slightly teasing voice spoke, a hand landed on Jiang Fan’s shoulder.

Her seductive eyes locked onto his.

Jiang Fan instinctively shot a nervous glance at the three male companions standing outside.

’Shit, what if that’s her husband? He’s going to rush in here and kill me, isn’t he?’

"AHEM. This lady’s size is no smaller than the previous one, at least a C-plus, and your chest shape is..."

At this point, Jiang Fan couldn’t continue, his face so red it looked like it could bleed.

"Go on, why did you stop?"

"The ’Gothic Lolita’ set over there would suit you."

"Oh? Then why don’t you get it down for me so I can try it on."

"Huh?"

Jiang Fan was about to ask if she was really going to try it on here, but then he remembered that lingerie stores have fitting rooms.

Especially a major brand like Xuerong, which would certainly have private fitting rooms.

"Jiang Fan, what are you doing here?"

As the familiar voice rang out, Jiang Fan felt like he could just die.
