NOVEL NEXT Chapter 279 Performance_2
At this moment, he had completely forgotten his anger towards Huang Lili and instead had a smile on his face again, immediately reaching out to invite Li Jing, "President Li, this way, please! Let's discuss the specifics of purchasing the yacht in the meeting room."
As he spoke, he immediately turned to look at a girl at a workstation in the company, frowned, and shouted, "What are you staring at? Didn't you see a client has arrived? Quickly go to the meeting room and prepare the tea!"
The female employee, who had been craning her neck to watch the commotion at her workstation, was startled by Zhao Wu's voice, hurriedly agreed, and quickly headed to the meeting room, filled with confusion.
Wasn't President Zhao just scolding Huang Lili? How come he suddenly changed?
Everyone had heard Zhao Wu loudly reprimanding Huang Lili, but after Li Jing appeared, Zhao Wu's volume dropped significantly, so most of the employees watching the spectacle didn't know what was said between Li Jing and Zhao Wu after Li Jing arrived.
At this moment, after inviting Li Jing into the company, Zhao Wu quietly approached Huang Lili and asked in a low, frowning voice:
"What stage have you reached in your talks with this President Li? Is he really planning to buy, or is he just looking?"
Seeing the other party actively ask her, and his tone much gentler than before, Huang Lili secretly let out a sigh of relief before softly explaining:
"I talked to President Li yesterday, and he has already agreed to buy. However, he seems to have no maintenance or management for the yacht. Don't we have maintenance services? President Zhao, you can discuss it with him from that angle."
"He has already confirmed to buy, and there's a possibility we might cooperate on the subsequent yacht maintenance too?"
President Zhao was surprised; annual maintenance costs in the hundreds of thousands are not insignificant, and the profits within are quite lucrative.
Hearing this, he was visibly pleased, and then gave Huang Lili a deep look, "You took leave yesterday just to discuss business? And you're willing to give this business to me?"
Although Zhao Wu doesn't handle actual sales, being able to help the company sell a multimillion-dollar mid-to-large luxury yacht, inclusive of future maintenance fees, he, according to company policy, could also earn a considerable bonus commission. Most importantly, it counts as a pretty impressive achievement.
In the whole of last year, the company only sold one mid-to-large luxury yacht, which was purchased by a friend of the chairman.
If Zhao Wu succeeds in selling one, without a doubt, it would earn him extra points in the chairman's mind and outshine the other directors of the same rank.
It was because of this that Zhao Wu couldn't comprehend Huang Lili's motivation.
Letting such a significant credit go to him felt a bit off.
Huang Lili seemed to have anticipated his skepticism and explained sincerely in a low voice:
"President Zhao, to be honest with you, President Li is actually my distant cousin. He only came to Tianhai in the past few years, intending to settle here. I took leave yesterday specifically to visit him.
After introducing him to our company, he agreed to buy the yacht to support me.
However, I think this business is indeed considerable. Without your support, I would definitely find it difficult to secure this business, and I am not familiar with the maintenance section either. Overall, I feel it's best for you to handle it."
After hearing her explanation, Zhao Wu was somewhat surprised, "President Li is your distant cousin? How come you never mentioned it before?"
"He has been doing much better than me; we haven't interacted much before, and actually, it was only yesterday that I got the chance to visit him."
Looking at Huang Lili's earnest explanation, Zhao Wu had already believed most of it. He looked at her meaningfully, nodding slowly:
"You've done well on this matter. Don't worry, although I'm usually strict with you, I'm fair when it comes to rewards and punishments. You're already marked as outstanding for this quarter's assessment.
If this really works out, I'll see to it that you're rewarded in other aspects too."
Upon hearing this, a hint of delight flashed in Huang Lili's eyes, and she immediately bowed her head to express her gratitude.
Seeing her grateful expression, Zhao Wu's mouth curled up slightly with satisfaction, and he continued to accompany Li Jing, who was walking ahead, towards the meeting room.
Following at the end, Huang Lili raised her head, her gaze crossing over Zhao Wu, landing on Li Jing's back, filled with complex gratitude.
Earlier, when Li Jing learned that Huang Lili might be reprimanded by the company, he proactively suggested this idea.
Not only did it help Huang Lili solve her work crisis, but it also turned misfortune into a blessing, earning recognition and approval from the company's strictest director.
Thinking about all this, when Huang Lili looked at Li Jing's figure, she couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, becoming even more certain and grateful for her choice and indulgence last night.
She even wondered why she didn't meet this man earlier, as even if he didn't intend to offer her any affection, he was far better than her previous spoiled ex-boyfriend.
"What are you looking at? Does everyone have nothing to do?"
Passing by the workstations of the company's employees, Zhao Wu saw everyone secretly watching them and couldn't help but darken his face, scolding:
"The company pays you to create value, not to slack off and mess around!
Look at Manager Huang, even when on leave, she doesn't forget to bring business to the company. If you could learn even half of Manager Huang's dedication, the company's performance wouldn't be like this!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd that was waiting to see Huang Lili's mishap was stunned, faces full of bewilderment.
"What's happening? Wasn't President Zhao supposed to scold Huang Lili, so how did it turn into her commendation meeting?"
"I can't make sense of this, President Zhao standing at the company gate early in the morning to block someone, turns out not to scold Huang Lili, but to personally commend her?? Isn't this too outrageous?"
