Chapter 84: Yin Ruxue’s Weirdness

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Yin Ruxue’s Weirdness

Out of habit, she glanced over and saw that Su Qingci had sent her a picture.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she clicked it open.

The moment she did, she felt her heart skip a beat.

It felt as if a large hand had gripped it tight.

In the picture, Jiang Fan was walking behind Li Muwan, his t-shirt on backward and soaking wet.

Li Muwan, in contrast, was in a cosplay outfit—not her usual, unvaried professional attire.

She knew this best friend of hers inside and out.

She might not remain completely stoic if a mountain collapsed before her, but her mental fortitude was far greater than most people’s.

Yet, in this picture, Yin Ruxue could see a clear trace of panic and bashfulness on Li Muwan’s face.

This was an expression that would never appear at the office, yet here it was, inexplicably.

Most importantly, the two of them looked completely disheveled.

That’s right. They looked exactly like a couple rushing out of a hotel room in a panic.

Yin Ruxue took a deep breath.

She suppressed the turmoil within her.

She did her best to keep her expression as calm as ever.

"Manager Li is back. You can go over now."

"We have to land this client, no matter what. Also, the sales department’s performance has been greatly affected recently."

"Have Manager Li bring me a solution."

Yin Ruxue said, without even looking up.

"Also... have Jiang Fan come see me," she added after a moment’s hesitation.

"Oh, okay."

Sun Yanzi felt Yin Ruxue’s tone was a bit strange, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was off about it.

Back in the sales department, she knocked on Li Muwan’s office door.

"Just a moment, she’s changing her clothes."

"Jiang... Jiang Fan, what are you doing in there???"

Sun Yanzi’s eyes widened in shock.

"You two...?"

Understanding dawned on Sun Yanzi in an instant.

She immediately clapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes twinkling with a thirst for gossip.

"Bullshit! It’s not what you think! She was changing in the inner room."

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but curse. From the moment he’d walked into the company, the gazes from Su Qingci, the head of the security team, and all his other colleagues had felt like sharp swords, dissecting him from head to toe.

Especially those knowing looks, mixed with a hint of admiration, which made him feel particularly aggrieved.

He hadn’t done a thing, yet he was already being saddled with the blame.

’Dammit, this is so not worth it! What’s going to happen to my love life now?!’

’I’m a virgin! When will I ever get to lose it now?’

"Alright, let her come in."

Li Muwan’s voice, tinged with bashfulness, rang out, leaving Jiang Fan even more speechless.

’Lady, what do you have to be shy about?’

’Literally nothing happened between us!!’

Jiang Fan sighed to the heavens.

When he opened the door to Sun Yanzi’s teasing gaze, he knew it was hopeless. He was in a situation so compromising that no explanation would clear his name.

Fortunately, Sun Yanzi didn’t say anything. She just placed a few folders on Li Muwan’s desk.

"Manager Li, this is about the collaborative project. We need your final decision. The other party just dropped the profit margin by another percentage point."

"That means our profits will be even smaller."

"They dropped it another point?"

Li Muwan, who had still been blushing shyly just a moment ago, suddenly raised her voice an octave.

"That’s just disgustingly greedy!"

In that instant, she was fully immersed in her work, transforming back into the powerful career woman, the aloof ice queen of the office.

"There’s not much we can do. After all, DQ Group is also competing with us for this project."

Sun Yanzi was also annoyed. Changing the terms at the last minute was one of the most detestable tactics in any negotiation.

"Set up a meeting with their President Wang for me. I’ll talk to him myself."

"Okay."

Sun Yanzi nodded. Li Muwan then turned to Jiang Fan. "Don’t just stand there. Prepare a proposal for me."

"By tomorrow at the latest, I need to see the complete plan."

"I want to see results within a week. If I don’t, I’m docking half your salary!"

Jiang Fan stared at her in shock. "I suspect you’re abusing your power for personal revenge!"

"Results in a week? How is that even possible?"

"That’s your problem, not mine."

Li Muwan’s voice was decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Prepare the project materials for me, then schedule a meeting with President Wang as soon as possible. I want to talk to him face-to-face."

"Now hurry up. And tell the team leads the sales department is launching a major initiative. As long as Jiang Fan needs their cooperation, all eight teams are to follow his instructions without question."

Li Muwan didn’t even look up as she pointed at Jiang Fan.

Now it was Sun Yanzi’s turn to look utterly incredulous.

She looked like she’d seen a ghost.

That was an incredible amount of authority.

"Manager Li... the stakes are too high. Shouldn’t we hold a meeting to discuss this?"

Sun Yanzi asked tentatively. ℯℯ𝑙.

"No. If you doubt someone, don’t use them. If you use them, don’t doubt them. I trust his abilities."

"You might trust me, but I don’t trust myself!!"

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but blurt out.

"Say one more word and I’ll dock your entire salary!"

"But if you pull this off, I’ll give you a commission of 0.1% of the total sales!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan instantly perked up!

’Holy shit!’

’I’m doing it!’

’Fortune favors the bold!’

But Li Muwan didn’t give him a chance to declare his resolve.

She pointed to the door, and the two of them walked out.

"Well, well, kiddo!"

"You even managed to pluck our sales department’s prized flower?"

"You’ve only been here a few days! If you stayed any longer, the entire sales department would become your personal harem!"

Sun Yanzi stood before Jiang Fan. Despite being a head shorter than him, she reached out a slender finger and tilted his chin up.

Her voice was filled with seductive charm, and their bodies were pressed right up against each other.

Feeling the softness pressing against his chest, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but give a dry cough.

"Don’t tell me, you just bagged Manager Li, and now you’re going after our supervisor too?"

"So when will it be my turn?"

Yu Xiaoyu popped out from nowhere and came right up to them.

Jiang Fan jumped, the words catching in his throat as he beat a hasty retreat.

"Don’t run off! The Chairwoman wants to see you in her office. Get going, don’t forget!"

Sun Yanzi chuckled and shouted after him.

Jiang Fan didn’t even turn his head, just waved his hand to show he understood.

"Yanzi, you aren’t mad that I interrupted your fun, are you?"
