Section 1
Cheng Feng casually said a couple of words, his gaze precisely landing on Qi Dong, and he greeted her with a smile: "Qi Dong, there are new regulations, don't forget to check the announcement. The order signed by Miss Liu today requires a supplementary agreement."
People strive for higher places; she absolutely does not want to struggle outside, exhausted and worn out after her youth has faded. Qi Dong's eyes sparkled, and in an instant, she was filled with excitement. She thought of the business card in her bag. He Dashu, this is the big tree she has firmly embraced.
As soon as his figure floated out of the office, Qi Dong's phone received a text message, which she guessed was from Cheng Feng. She did not care about the content; it was enough that Cheng Feng had this intention. She ignored the message, and with Cheng Feng gone, she was too lazy to continue pretending to be the wronged little wife, instead fixing her gaze on Liu Shiru with a cold smile.
"Could you be more specific? When did this happen? Is there any progress?" Qin Yu used her gaze to stop Liu Shiru, who was about to jump up, and quickly inquired of Qi Dong.
Liu Shiru's expression changed, and she tapped the contract in her hand, saying, "It's just a small order from Chuanjia Building Materials."
Is it really such a coincidence? Liu Shiru squinted her phoenix eyes and let out a cold laugh. The joy of having snatched away Qi Dong's order in the morning instantly vanished.
Qin Yu paused and said solemnly: "I am handing over the bottom line of the discounted quotation to you. Your starting line is the same. I hope you will not act in a way that harms the company's interests due to personal reasons"
Qin Yu and Liu Shiru almost simultaneously exclaimed in astonishment
If you take my business, I will take the man you like. Qi Dong thought wickedly, not knowing how many times Qi Qing had defeated Ma Tianming with her charmingly innocent look of biting her lip. Today, she would try it on Cheng Feng.
Qin Yu, having gained the upper hand through a well-planned large order, was appointed as the Sales Director, yet she harbored deep apprehensions towards her subordinates who might replicate her tactics. Qi Dong, having lost her father at a young age, had become her mother's diligent little manager. Her ability to read situations and adapt accordingly was a skill she had honed over the years. Upon her arrival, she aimed to establish herself within the company and, without a second thought, pledged her loyalty to her direct superior, Qin Yu, even reporting a few orders worth tens of thousands honestly. However, she conducted all of this with utmost discretion.
Chuanjia Building Materials ... ... a small order. ... ... Qi Dong suddenly felt a tightness in his throat
Liu Shiru's delicate voice sent a chill down Qi Dong's spine. With a mischievous glance at Cheng Feng, she took great pleasure in the awkwardness and helplessness displayed on his face, eagerly awaiting the moment he would cast a look of complaint in her direction.
She struggled to control her emotions. With a cold smile, she thought, Liu Shiru, you still miscalculated a little.
"Have you made contact?" Qin Yu's eyes flickered, and he chuckled, saying, "Our Vice President Chen from the Sales Department has left, and the company plans to promote an internal candidate for the position of Vice President of Sales. Shiru, if you can secure this deal, the Sales Department's annual targets will be completed ahead of schedule. I will recommend you at the senior management meeting."
Ah, how could I dare to trouble your esteemed self with such a trivial matter? Would it not suffice to have someone deliver the notice?
Cheng Feng has fair skin and exudes a strong scholarly aura. In terms of appearance, Qi Dong feels that he resembles pickled vegetables that have been soaked overnight and then fished out, the kind that is crisp and delicious, complementing meals without becoming tiresome. Although he is not tall, his build is proportionate, without a potbelly. He is also very particular about his grooming, and his clothing combinations make his figure appear quite decent.
The thirty percent allocated was merely the task quota, yet not a single cent of the commission was given to Qi Dong. Liu Shiru felt a sense of satisfaction as she snatched Qi Dong's order, casting a glance at Qi Dong and speaking first: "I have received insider information that the He Mu Group's headquarters building is undergoing renovation. The materials department has mentioned plans to publicly solicit bids, but the possibility of directed procurement cannot be ruled out. I have already made contact with the He Mu Group."
Qi Dong's words were sharp, causing Liu Shiru to blush and her veins to bulge. She indeed knew about the renovation of the He Mu Group's office building, but being the first to report the plan did not mean she was confident about the matter.
Qi Dong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Before the contract was signed, who knew whose hands the deer would fall into? Being able to take a thirty percent share is not bad at all, and the number of tasks that have not been completed this year has decreased by a few digits. Moreover, Qin Yu's criticism of Liu Shiru made her mood even better.
A single sentence created a distance between intimacy and estrangement
Liu Shiru sneered: "President Qin! I am not targeting you. I know you are well-intentioned in protecting the newcomers, worried that Qi Dong's deal might be secretly poached. Am I the kind of person who would do that? Even if I cannot secure the family legacy order today, who can guarantee that Qi Dong will definitely succeed? I have stated that I was unaware beforehand, and if you handle it fairly, I will accept the penalty. My sales revenue is unjustly shared with her by thirty percent; do I have any objections? If a prior notification can lead to a thirty percent share, then fine, I will also report the matter of Hemu Group. If Qi Dong succeeds, will I also receive thirty percent? I have stated that I was unaware beforehand, and if you handle it fairly, I will accept the penalty. My sales revenue is unjustly shared with her by thirty percent; do I have any objections? If a prior notification can lead to a thirty percent share, then fine, I will also report the matter of Hemu Group. If Qi Dong succeeds, will I also receive thirty percent?"
It was merely a case of a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. This morning, I encountered General Manager Ding from the family business, and it was originally just a polite greeting! Liu Shiru paused, her red lips curling into an uncontrollable smirk, her large phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as she let out a soft sigh, "Who would have thought that General Manager Ding would be quite taken with our company's products and would readily sign the contract.
Liu Shiru was immediately provoked by her expression: "If I don't say anything, you won't either. Qi Dong, what do you mean? Don't you just hate me for taking the family order? I, Liu Shiru, have always conducted my work with integrity, unlike some people who secretly report and set traps for their colleagues! What do you mean by undermining you? This matter hasn't even begun yet!"
He Dashu has not been in the industry for long. It is said that he did not even attend university and only joined Hemu Group at the beginning of this year, taking on the role of General Manager of the group's decoration and building materials company. He is only in his twenties, extremely young. Due to his surname He, there are rumors that his young age and high position are related to the He family, which manages Hemu Group. Some even speculate that he is the illegitimate son of the chairman of Hemu Group, whom he has been raising outside.
The barrage of words from Liao Shiru gave Qin Yu a headache. Liao Shiru was considered an experienced salesperson in the company. Qi Dong, who was new, indeed did not dare to place all his bets on Qi Dong. After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu said, "How about this? Shiru mentioned that she has started the preliminary work. Qi Dong is also friends with He Dashu. This order is of significant value, so you should work together. I will delegate the authority that the sales director has to you. Do not forget, besides our company, there are other building material companies eyeing this opportunity. This order is of significant value, so you should work together. I will delegate the authority that the sales director has to you. Do not forget, besides our company, there are other building material companies eyeing this opportunity. Do not engage in internal strife and allow others to benefit from it."
At this moment, the director of the sales department, Qin Yu, walked into the office. Although he did not hear what was being said, the tense atmosphere between the two beautiful female subordinates, filled with a sense of rivalry, caused him to furrow his brows. Noticing that Cheng Feng was also present, he greeted him first
Ms. Liu, the company has issued a new regulation. The contract you signed today also requires a supplementary agreement. I wanted to inform you and, by the way, also let General Qin know.
Liu Shiru cried out in injustice, appearing as if she had no idea that it was a client of Qi Dong. Meanwhile, Qi Dong's absence from the visit today became a focal point of criticism. The final outcome was a sales distribution of 30 to 70, with Qi Dong accounting for 30 percent.
Qi Dong stated that He Dashu is her very good friend
Cheng Feng furrowed his brows upon hearing this. His position was clearly such that he could not say anything. He glanced at Liu Shiru, whose expression had drastically changed, and then at Qi Dong, who looked aggrieved, and suddenly felt awkward
To avoid internal conflicts, the company strictly prohibits undermining each other. Any order exceeding one million must be reported in advance to the Sales Director. Of course, some sales personnel, in order to prevent leaks, operate discreetly and only disclose information after they are almost certain of success. It is said that the current Sales Director, Qin Yu, successfully defeated competitors and secured the director position using such tactics
"Enough!" Qin Yu scolded.
Suppressing his curiosity to watch the commotion, Qi Dong smiled at Cheng Feng and walked towards his own desk
Although you have been working for a long time, you still haven't had it set in stone yet, Qin Yu said
If price reductions lead to vicious competition, how can the company survive? You are well aware of how much a one-point difference amounts to. According to company policy, the loss of this one point will be deducted from your sales commission as a percentage. Now, let us put this matter to rest. Please discuss your summer sales plan
The words have already been spoken, and she has no way to turn back. Regardless, she must take a gamble. Qi Dong lied without changing her expression: "He Da Shu, the general manager of Hemu Group Decoration and Building Materials Company, is my... very good friend. However, it's strange that he has never mentioned Sister Shi Ru contacting him. If I had known that Sister Shi Ru had intervened in this matter earlier, I definitely would not have broken the rules to snatch the order."
She pretended to be deep in thought and said softly, "President Qin, our company is not the only one interested in the He Mu order. Although I am friends with He Dashu, he is a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. It is possible that both sides are maintaining contact, trying to take the opportunity to probe our bottom line. Fortunately, I haven't made a quotation yet. I wonder how far Sister Shiru has progressed? The order is still in the early stages of contact and negotiation, so it would be best if we do not undermine each other internally. What do you think, Sister Shiru?"
There was considerable interest, which was the result of Qi Dong's efforts over the past month. As long as Liu Shiru lowered the price a bit, the interest would quickly turn into a signing action. Qi Dong's chest surged with anger, almost grinding her white teeth to dust.
The subsequent matter concluded with Qin Yu receiving fifty strokes of the rod each.
The Sales Department's Director and Deputy Directors do not have specific sales tasks. Each of the two Deputy Directors is responsible for a particular area, and in addition to their own business commissions, they can also extract a certain percentage from the department's total sales at the end of the year as a bonus. They do not have to endure the elements, enjoy a stable monthly salary, and hold an excellent position in the office, sipping coffee while managing their responsibilities.
Her voice was as soft as silk, slowly winding around Qi Dong's neck, constricting her breath
Qi Dong sighed inwardly, wondering how poor the choice of a marriage partner could be. Both working in the same company, it was only natural for Liu Shiru, who had been there longer, to admire him.
Cheng Feng and her affairs were kept under tight wraps. Heaven knows, earth knows, he knows, and she knows. Only Liu Shiru, who has a special affection for Cheng Feng, remains unaware. This secret brings a small sense of vanity and satisfaction to Qi Dong. She is eager to see Liu Shiru's expression when the romance is revealed. However, as a malicious thought arises, Qi Dong suddenly realizes. What benefit is there in creating an enemy in the company for no reason? Until everything is settled, it is better for her to be cautious.
Who among those in sales would dare to confidently claim they are almost certain before the contract is signed? However, if they do not take the initiative, they will have no opportunity to intervene at all
Qi Dong raised a smile, mimicking the gesture with a slightly lifted chin and a sidelong glance at a forty-five-degree angle towards Liu Shiru, as if to say, in this matter, you have no chance
Manager Cheng has completed the review of the contract, and I believe he is aware that this order was signed by Sister Shiru at less than five points, right? I have been discussing six points with General Ding from Chuanjia all along. Qi Dong gently bit her lip, holding back her grievances. She swallowed her sarcasm.
In the afternoon, Qi Dong returned to the company to clock in. Before she even entered the office area, she heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. Who could be so happy about closing a deal? Remembering what had happened in the morning, Qi Dong felt a bit envious of her lucky colleagues. She pinched her cheeks to confirm that a smile was already on her face, and only then did she slowly walk in.
The fruits that Qi Dong had worked hard on for over a month were easily taken away by Liu Shiru. That damned bloodthirsty old cat that encountered a dead rat!
Ah?
Qi Dong took a deep breath, looked at Liu Shiru in surprise, and said: "Oh, what a coincidence! General Manager Qin, I was just about to report to you that I have also made contact with Hemu Group and am currently negotiating the order for the renovation materials of their headquarters building."
The heads of the two major departments exchanged a glance, and Cheng Feng took the opportunity to take his leave. However, as he passed by Qi Dong, he gave her a reassuring look
