Chapter 7: The Joys of Overtime
Yuan Kai didn't react for a long time, then stammered, "He... he negotiated a 5 million yuan order?"
Feng Feifei said, "Yes, didn't you give him the client information?"
Yuan Kai thought, "The clients I gave him were practically impossible ones! How did he get so lucky? He just walked out and picked up an order. I spent the whole day flattering clients and only managed to get a chance to eat with them!"
"General Manager Feng, could there be a problem here? With his ability, it's impossible. This is truly an explosion of luck!"
Feng Feifei was a little disappointed and said calmly, "Luck is also part of ability, Manager Yuan. This case is currently the company's top priority, please give it your full effort!"
Yuan Kai tried hard to say, "I understand, I'm just worried that Chen Xiao's business ability is too poor and that this case might be lost. Should I personally follow up on it later?"
"You should trust your colleagues, Manager Yuan. You go back and work on the proposal. Oh, and when it's done, let Chen Xiao take a look. After all, he's the one dealing with the client and knows their needs. Let him see if there are any areas that need modification!"
Feeling Feng Feifei's impatience, Yuan Kai could only leave dejectedly!
Damn it, this bastard is so lucky. If I had known, I would have gone myself. If Chen Xiao can do it, I definitely can too! 5 million yuan, that's a 250,000 yuan commission. That's enough for a bride price!
Yuan Kai walked to Chen Xiao's workstation with a grim expression. "Chen Xiao, General Manager Feng said I need to guide you in making the project proposal and quotation details. What the hell, Chen Xiao, are you playing games at work?"
Damn it, with no one else in the entire company, Chen Xiao was a bit too unrestrained. Was Yuan Kai a ghost? He walked so quietly that Chen Xiao didn't have time to switch his desktop.
It's over, I'm going to be scolded by my teammates for being AFK.
He closed the game and turned his head, saying, "Manager Yuan, you must have seen wrong. I'm studying product knowledge, look!"
He pointed to the learning materials on his desktop and said to Yuan Kai.
"You!" Yuan Kai was so angry his lungs were about to explode seeing him so arrogant! He really regretted not taking a photo to secure evidence first. Now that Chen Xiao had made it impossible to prove, there was nothing he could do!
"Also, Manager Yuan, let me correct you. For the project proposal and quotation, you'll have to work hard; I won't participate. I'm only responsible for negotiating. Documentation isn't my strong suit! Specialization, you know!"
What the hell do you mean, 'specialization'? So I'm your assistant? Ten thousand expletives surged in Yuan Kai's heart.
Forget it, I'll endure it. For the sake of this case succeeding, as the department head, I get a 0.5% commission. For the sake of this being work arranged by General Manager Feng!
Seeing Yuan Kai burying himself in the proposal, Chen Xiao opened the game again.
As if sensing something, Yuan Kai looked up at him. Chen Xiao's alertness kicked in, and the screen switched so smoothly!
"Manager Yuan, you need to be serious when working on the proposal, why do you keep looking at me? It wouldn't be good if there's a problem and you have to redo it all later!"
He would lift his head every few minutes, causing Chen Xiao to die several times in the game. Damn it, can't I just play the game properly? This job! Earning money is really not easy!
Yuan Kai ignored him, knowing this kid must be playing games again. I'll just outlast you. He would occasionally get up and wander around, and Chen Xiao's game character died several more times!
"Huh! Manager Yuan, have you finished the proposal?"
Yuan Kai habitually got up and wandered around, just as Feng Feifei came out and saw him. She thought he had finished the proposal, hence the question!
"Ah, I haven't finished yet, I'm working on it!"
Chen Xiao added at the opportune moment, "Manager Yuan, the client has urged us several times, please speed it up! I'm looking at materials here, so you don't need to keep checking my study progress!"
Feng Feifei looked at Yuan Kai doubtfully and said, "Manager Yuan, for such an important case, you still need to be fully focused to avoid mistakes! As for Chen Xiao, let him arrange his own time! You both worked hard on this proposal today!"
Yuan Kai looked at Feng Feifei with resentment. Is that even human talk? I'm racking my brains to make a proposal, and he's playing games. He's as tired as I am? Boss, why are you calling a deer a horse?
Feng Feifei didn't care about him; after speaking, she returned to her office!
Next, Chen Xiao finally played two stable rounds, sweeping away his previous gloom, and his teammates praised his prodigal son's return!
He checked the time; it was almost 5:30 PM, nearly quitting time, but Yuan Kai was still clattering away at the keyboard, not yet finished!
Damn it, don't tell me I have to work overtime with you. Isn't this making me do unpaid labor?
Ding~! The system encourages the host to work hard, but does not encourage unpaid hard work! The following tasks are hereby issued:
Random Task: Grant 1 random gift package based on the host's overtime work duration today. The longer the overtime work, the richer the reward.
Damn it, again! I want to reach King tier, I want to play until 24:00, oh no, I want to work until 24:00!
Yuan Kai breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing before quitting time. He sent the proposal to Chen Xiao and said, "The proposal is done, send it to the client!"
That fast? Chen Xiao opened it and saw that it was indeed better than what he could do!
"No, Manager Yuan, this proposal doesn't meet the client's requirements. The client wants us to compare our various equipment with existing equipment on the market in terms of parameters, as well as..."
"Holy crap, why didn't you say so earlier? I spent the whole afternoon on this, and now you're telling me to scrap it and start over!"
Just as Feng Feifei was about to leave work, she heard the loud commotion and asked, "What's wrong? Is the proposal done?"
Chen Xiao, the villain, spoke first, "General Manager Feng, I've reviewed Manager Yuan's proposal, and it doesn't follow the client's requirements. Manager Yuan blames me for not saying so earlier, but I didn't know either. The client said these are basic common sense, and all companies make proposals this way. I thought with Manager Yuan's professionalism, these wouldn't be overlooked. Who knew... sigh, this is my fault too!"
Feng Feifei waved her hand and said, "Chen Xiao, don't blame yourself. After all, you're new and haven't experienced these things!"
"Manager Yuan, I've seen your proposal, it's excellent! However, the client's requirements are also reasonable. To ensure this case doesn't go awry, we should try our best to follow the client's requirements, don't you agree?"
Do I agree? What the heck do I agree to? You two have said it all!
Damn it, Chen Xiao, you're a small-minded person who's gotten lucky. You landed a 5 million yuan order, so the advantage is with you. I'll tolerate you this time. Let's see how long you can be arrogant. You'll eventually fall into my hands, and then I'll show you what it means to be in ecstasy and agony!
Yuan Kai was cursing the harshest words in his heart while doing the hardest work!
Chen Xiao was also very tired. After all, anyone who's been 'jerking off' all afternoon would feel a bit worn out. He wondered if he should go out to eat something first and then come back to 'jerk off' some more—no, to 'work hard' some more!
Feng Feifei then said, "Chen Xiao, Manager Yuan is busy and needs to work overtime. If you have nothing to do, why don't you leave first?"
"Huh? Why?" Yuan Kai and Chen Xiao protested simultaneously!
"General Manager Feng, Chen Xiao needs to stay and help me check if there are any other areas that don't meet the client's needs..."
"General Manager Feng, how can I let Manager Yuan work overtime alone? I must accompany him!"
