"Hey, hey, hey, don't get any ideas; I have a boyfriend," Mo Anna pursed her lips with a smile and waved her fist, gently punching him.
"Do I, Xiao Zheng, look like the shameless type?" Xiao Zheng said indignantly.
"Really? You don't seem like it!"
The daily work in the sales department was relaxed, with women completing the majority of the sales. Additionally, there were few men in the department. Given Xiao Zheng's backdoor entry into sales, at Qianqiu Group, known as a kingdom of women, he was practically the Emperor.
Bored all morning, Xiao Zheng decided to sneak a peek at his wife, considering he was now utterly broke, having resorted to eating noodles the night before and hoping to borrow some money from his wife.
As he passed by the sales manager's office, Xiao Zheng heard laughter coming from inside.
Xiao Zheng didn't care at first, but when he heard Mu Yiqing's voice from the office, his steps faltered.
The girl had left a deep impression on Xiao Zheng. Although underhanded corporate rules were inevitable, Xiao Zheng didn't want to see such things happen to a girl with little worldly experience; it could ruin her life.
A smiling, chubby man, smoking a cigarette, laughed and said, "Yiqing, you've seen the situation in our sales department. There are many capable people here. It's not easy to stand out in our sales department.
Apart from work performance and connections, what's more important is communication with the leaders. I think you know what I mean?"
As he spoke, the fat man tapped lightly on the desktop.
Mu Yiqing kept her head down, biting her lip, hands crossed and nervously twisting together.
For a university student just starting out, she understood these so-called social rules well, but the innocent girl found them hard to accept.
"Manager Zhang, I... I just want to work hard and earn what I want by myself. I believe I can succeed..."
"By your own efforts?" Manager Zhang took a drag from his cigarette and snorted with sarcasm, "Heh, Mu Yiqing, you're really naive. Do you think that in today's society, you can get what you want just by hard work?"
After finishing, Manager Zhang circled the desk and approached Mu Yiqing, squinting his eyes scanning up and down.
He smiled and said, "Mu Yiqing, let me be honest with you, no matter the company, there are always workplace rules, especially in a place like Qianqiu Group, a kingdom of daughters. There are plenty of women prettier than you, and even more who work harder. Here, women have no advantage.
So, it's very difficult for you to rise to the top!"
As he said this, his tone paused for a moment, then he smiled and continued, "Of course, there are exceptions. In the sales department, as long as you obey nicely, I guarantee you'll be successful and land a supervisor's position."
"Manager Zhang, what are you doing?" Mu Yiqing suddenly stood up and retreated a few steps.
Though she seemed fragile on the outside, she was very sensitive and determined when it came to her bottom line.
In Mu Yiqing's eyes, even if she could only ever be a low-level employee, she wouldn't trade her body for any deal.
"Mu Yiqing, I've said my piece. This sales department is under my management, and if you offend me, you should understand the consequences. With just a few words from me, Qianqiu Group will have no place for you!"
By the end, Manager Zhang's face twisted into a grimace.
Knowing that Mu Yiqing's looks were top-notch within the entire Qianqiu Group, how could he give up on such a catch?
"Manager Zhang, I really don't want to... I don't want to... I just want to work well at Qianqiu Group."
Mu Yiqing's eyes reddened, and tears shimmered, threatening to spill. She had worked so hard just to work at Qianqiu Group, only to encounter workplace harassment just a few days in.
"If you want to stay at Qianqiu Group, then just obey nicely. Otherwise, even if you leave Qianqiu Group, no matter where you go, with just a word from me, you'll have no place in the whole Zhonghai City!"
After finishing, Manager Zhang could hardly wait and pounced.
"Manager Zhang, don't come any closer!"
Mu Yiqing struggled desperately, rejecting him.
