The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 23 Sales Performance Depends Entirely on Flattery
"Why did you agree? Shouldn't you have refused?"

At the villa entrance, Lin Chen looked helplessly at Gu Yuexi: "You're so unpredictable, I can't cooperate with you."

Gu Yuexi explained, "Please help me this once. You can see that my dad is on his side, so I can't refuse. If you don't go, I'll have to go alone, and I can imagine what will happen then..."

Lin Chen frowned: "This time and time again, it never ends. I don't have that much time."

Gu Yuexi raised her index finger, looking pitiful: "Just this once, okay? This time when we go out, let's pretend to be a couple, so Wu Jiajun will give up on us, and then everything will be fine, right?"

After a pause, Gu Yuexi said, "How about I add more money, okay? Fifty thousand yuan, please?"

Lin Chen didn't speak; he didn't really want to continue playing the role.

They pretend to be husband and wife at home, and lovers in public...

She's pretty, but it's fake, it's meaningless!
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Gu Yuexi knew he didn't want to agree, so she grabbed his arm and shook it, pleading, "Just help me this once, it's the weekend anyway, you're free, right? Just think of it as going out for fun, no need to pay, and there's a beautiful girl with you..."

weekend?

Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses. Oh right, tomorrow is the weekend, so Chu Jiaxue will be resting at home too.
If I stay at home by myself, wouldn't I have to put on an act for two whole days?

It's fine on weekdays. After get off work, I have dinner with my father and chat for a bit, but we don't spend much time together. But this weekend, we'll be spending more time together, so won't it be easy for my secret to be exposed?
If I were to participate in camping, wouldn't that reduce contact, avoid embarrassment, and prevent being exposed?
Thinking about this, Lin Chen wavered.

Seeing that Lin Chen remained silent, Gu Yuexi pressed her advantage: "How about this, if you help me this time, I'll introduce you to a beautiful woman..."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Introducing me to a beautiful woman is out of the question. I'm penniless, with no house or car. What if she rolls her eyes at me? Fine, I'll help you with this. Just consider it a favor you owe me."

Gu Yuexi asked in confusion, "A favor? What do you want me to do?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, but I'll remember it for now. I'm new here and don't know anyone. There will be times when I need your help, since you're a local. Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything excessive. If you think it's excessive, you can refuse."

Gu Yuexi was immediately relieved and readily agreed: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Lin Chen nodded: "See you tomorrow."

Gu Yuexi asked, "Where do you live? I'll drive to pick you up." Lin Chen didn't want Gu Yuexi to know about his affairs, so he casually replied, "No need, just tell me a place, and we'll meet there."

"it is good!"

After leaving the Gu family, Lin Chen returned to the company and bumped into Chen Hai.

Chen Hai, who had been humiliated by Lin Chen before, was still holding a grudge against him. Now that he had caught Lin Chen slacking off, he was not going to let the opportunity pass. He stood directly in front of Lin Chen and loudly scolded him: "Lin Chen, you just joined the company and you're already sneaking off to slack off. You have no organization or discipline. Hmm... you smell so strongly of alcohol. You actually skipped work to go out drinking?"

"None of your business. See this sign? Can't you read?"

Lin Chen glanced at Chen Hai, but wasn't going to let him off the hook. He pointed to the sign for Sales Group 8: "This is the sales department. What are the responsibilities of the sales department? Sales. I don't need to go out and run business, or entertain clients and build relationships. I just sit in the office and wait for orders to fall from the sky. If you like managing people's attendance so much, go to the HR department. It's a waste of your talents to stay in the sales department!"

Chen Hai's face flushed red as Lin Chen retorted, "You've only just arrived, what business do you have to run around for?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Does being a newcomer mean you don't have to make sales? Don't you know the team leader gave me a client list? Time is limited, of course I have to hurry. Do you think we're all like you, drinking tea and playing on our phones in the office all day, relying on flattery for sales performance?"

Lin Chen's words were so hurtful, it was like a slap in the face to Chen Hai. The strange looks from his colleagues behind him made Chen Hai feel like he was being pricked by needles, and his face turned purple with anger, like a pig's liver.

Chen Hai blocked Lin Chen's path and said aggressively, "Who's licking it? Explain yourself!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Oh, I misspoke. That's not called licking boots. That's called resolutely following the leader's lead and fully supporting all of the leader's decisions. If the leader tells you to go east, you will never go west. If the leader tells you to chase the dog, you will never catch the chicken. When the leader is happy, won't the performance results come?"

"puff!"

One of the female colleagues couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly covered her mouth and turned away. Although the other colleagues didn't laugh out loud, their expressions of trying to hold back their laughter betrayed their true feelings.

Lin Chen, why are you spouting such blunt truths?
Chen Hai's abilities are indeed not great, but he is Sun Hao's staunch supporter and a trusted confidant, always at Sun Hao's beck and call. Naturally, Sun Hao takes care of him, entrusting him with some stable clients, which is like giving him performance credits. That's why he can "perform outstandingly and remain as stable as Mount Tai" in Group Eight.

His colleague's laughter was like a knife piercing his heart, causing Chen Hai's blood pressure to spike. With red eyes, he clenched his fist and punched Lin Chen in the face.
