Chapter 41: Chapter 41
"Uh!" Zhang Xiaohao was startled and actually felt contempt.
Facing the receptionist’s indifferent gaze, Zhang Xiaohao continued, "Do you know who I am?"
"Pssh! You’re just from Bai Xue Cosmetics Company, right? Those two have been running to our group many times. As soon as you came in, I immediately recognized you! What, you want to continue peddling that Paris Spring garbage makeup? Let me give you some bad news, our Vice President Sun just sent word down, any person from Bai Xue Cosmetics Company, no matter who it is, even if it’s Cheng Tianxue herself, will be refused! You are also not allowed upstairs! If you dare to barge in, see those security guards outside? Those dozens of menacing security guards are specially prepared for you," said the receptionist proudly.
That hand pointing at the dozen or so security guards outside had a smug look, as if silently saying, just try to force your way in! If you dare, we’ll give you a good beating!
"Miss, can’t we make another arrangement? Could you please call Vice President Sun and tell him the new Public Relations Manager from our department is here?" Wu Qiaoqiao struggled to suppress her anger and said with a smile.
"Public Relations Manager? Is that a big deal? Even if your CEO Cheng Tianxue came in person, so what? Can she control me?" said the receptionist arrogantly.
Just as Wu Qiaoqiao was about to continue speaking, Zhang Xiaohao patted her shoulder to stop her and said seriously, "Give you one minute to call your CEO and tell her that the person she asked to see this morning is here! If she says no, we’ll leave right away!"
"Who do you think you are? You think our CEO would beg to see some minor manager from another company? You might as well take a piss and look in the mirror to see if you’re worth it!" said the receptionist with a sneer.
"Let’s go!" Dropping a cold line, Zhang Xiaohao led Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen out.
Just as they reached the doorway, a group of people came in from outside, led by a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Seeing this person, Wu Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, smiling, "Hello Vice President Sun, I’m Xiao Wu from Bai Xue Cosmetics Company!"
The pudgy man was startled and unconsciously stopped in his tracks, staring at Xiao Wu in front of him. With her fiery figure and skin white as snow, her exquisitely beautiful face, his two narrow eyes gleamed with lechery and instinctively squinted.
"Hello Vice President Sun, this is Mr. Zhang Xiaohao, the new Public Relations Manager from White House Cosmetics Company!" Wu Qiaoqiao gestured at Zhang Xiaohao while introducing him.
"Hello Vice President Sun, I am Mr. Zhang, the Public Relations Manager from Bai Xue Company. It’s a pleasure to meet you!" Saying this, Zhang Xiaohao smiled and extended his hand.
The man called Vice President Sun glanced at Zhang Xiaohao with disdain in his eyes and outright ignored him.
Instead, he reached out with a fat hand to shake Wu Qiaoqiao’s, smiling, "Xiao Wu, is it? I was wondering why the name sounded so familiar, it turns out to be you!"
Wu Qiaoqiao, with an embarrassed expression, looked at Vice President Sun’s extended hand, not sure whether to shake it or not. Hesitating for a moment, she was just about to reach out.
That’s when Zhang Xiaohao calmly put out his hand to stop her!
"We’re leaving!" After saying this, Zhang Xiaohao didn’t even spare another glance and headed straight for the exit. For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen were stunned. Seeing Zhang Xiaohao leaving, they gritted their teeth and quickly followed.
Watching the three of them approach the door, Vice President Sun’s faint voice echoed in the hall, "Mr. Zhang is putting on quite the show! Are you here to talk business or to show me who’s boss? Or do people from Bai Xue Company always carry themselves with such a big ego?"
After speaking, Vice President Sun made himself comfortable on a sofa in the hall, crossed his legs, smoked a cigar, fully expecting Zhang Xiaohao would come back.
Hearing his words, Zhang Xiaohao stopped in his tracks, wearing a look of disdain as he said, "Just now, I came here to talk business, but you’re not worthy! You’re not qualified!"
"Young man, you’ve got quite the temper! Such a hot-headedness! According to the rules of Bai Xue Company, a man cannot hold the position of PR manager. Could it be that Mr. Zhang is actually a woman? Pretending to be a man to attract attention?" Vice President Sun said with a mocking smile.
"A woman? Indeed! I see that from now on, certain people are really going to become women, wearing women’s clothing to work! You had better prepare yourself mentally in advance." Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
Having said that, he proceeded to leave with Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen.
No sooner had they left than Vice President Sun, in a rage, grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it onto the floor, angrily exclaiming, "Remember this! From now on, anyone from Bai Xue Company is forbidden to step foot inside the group’s premises! If they dare to come in, beat them to a pulp!"
Outside the Bai Le Shopping Group building.
"Mr. Zhang, they’re infuriating! And this Vice President Sun, he’s just no good, completely disregarding us." Lin Xiaowen said, puffed up with anger.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang! His disgusting gaze was absolutely intolerable, actually leering at my chest. If it weren’t for the fact we were in their company, I would’ve kicked his balls to smithereens!" Wu Qiaoqiao said vehemently.
"When friends come over, we welcome them with good wine and food! If a rabid dog appears, Brother Hao has the Dog Beating Stick ready for them! He thinks he’s so arrogant? Mocking me for being a woman? Just watch, I’ll have him wearing a woman’s skirt, stockings, high heels, and dancing a ballet in front of a crowd!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a commanding presence.
If this had been on a foreign battlefield, any fat-bellied man daring to provoke him would have been offed long ago! He wouldn’t have tolerated such arrogance.
The trio made their way to Wu Qiaoqiao’s flashy red mistress car.
Right then, a black Mercedes 600 armored sedan calmly pulled up on the Bai Le Shopping Group’s avenue.
Recognizing the license plate, the doorman respectfully ran over and obsequiously opened the car door.
A middle-aged woman, in her thirties, emerged from the driver’s side, glancing accidentally and noticing Zhang Xiaohao and his companions. She felt they looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but without giving it much thought, she continued inside the building with a cold expression and sunglasses on.
At this point, Zhang Xiaohao and his group had already opened the car door and gotten in. The middle-aged woman reached the entrance of the building and suddenly remembered something. She quickly turned her head and took another glimpse at the fiery red mistress car, seeing that it was about to leave.
She immediately, in her high heels, rushed toward Zhang Xiaohao’s direction.
"Stop right there!" the middle-aged woman demanded coldly, blocking the path of the red mistress car.
Seeing someone blocking her car, Wu Qiaoqiao angrily honked the horn, signaling the person to move away.
Instead of moving, the woman knocked on their car window, signaling for Wu Qiaoqiao to roll it down.
Wu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, holding back her frustration, she rolled down the window with a cold face and snapped, "What’s wrong with you? Do you have a death wish blocking my car? Move it!"
