The next day.

As soon as Lu Xiaoqiao arrived at the company, she received a message from Mr. Jiang Hengqian, asking her what she thought about the invoice issue.

After she replied that her boss felt the risk was too great, she asked her to meet at a coffee shop near their company at 2 p.m. to talk more.

After lunch, Lu Xiaoqiao reported to Manager Cai that Mr. Qian had asked her to meet him.

Manager Cai originally wanted to go with her, but something urgent happened and delayed him. In the end, she had to go alone. Manager Cai told her to stay calm.

Lu Xiaoqiao arrived at the agreed location ten minutes early and waited for more than forty minutes before Manager Qian arrived.

"Miss Lu, I'm sorry, I had some things to deal with just now, so I came a little late."

"That's okay, Manager Qian. What would you like to drink?"

"Get me a latte!"

After ordering coffee, Lu Xiaoqiao didn't wait for Manager Qian to speak before asking, "Manager Qian, what are your thoughts? I don't know if you've heard that many manufacturers have stopped accepting orders due to power restrictions at the factory. If we don't make a decision now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Manager Qian was anxious but remained calm as he said, "I have heard that, but there are still two or three companies that can take it. Now it depends on the invoice I told you about a few days ago. If this is possible, we can sign the contract tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't understand why he would take the risk of breaking the law to enrich himself when he was already working in a company with such good benefits.

"Manager Qian, I'm sorry, but our company's invoices are based on our regulations. We may not be able to meet your requirements."

Manager Qian had prepared himself mentally before coming. He had heard about the power rationing by manufacturers a few days ago, and several of the brands he dealt with had told him that they could not do this order.

Due to time constraints, the only two companies that can take this order are Chenxin and Fengshang.

But Fengshang's financial director is his ex-wife's younger brother, and he couldn't risk waiting there for him to find fault with him.

He is feeling very angry now. This year marks his fifth year in office. The company has a rule that purchasing managers can only serve for five years. He originally wanted to make a quick buck during the last possible time, but unfortunately he encountered power rationing.

If I mess this up, I'll probably be fired without even having to be transferred, but I have to get some benefits and not waste this opportunity.

I just met a fashion salesperson a few days ago. She was a sexy and feminine woman, but compared to the girl in front of me, she was not on the same level.

Manager Qian looked Lu Xiaoqiao up and down. She was really beautiful, with fair and delicate skin. She looked like she had a good figure too. Most importantly, she was still young. If only...

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time and was looking her up and down with an uncomfortable look, Lu Xiaoqiao felt nauseous and a little scared.

After taking a look at her, Manager Qian leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile, "Does Miss Lu have a boyfriend?"

"Manager Qian, this question has nothing to do with what we are discussing today."

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little angry, but still answered calmly.

"Why doesn't it matter? You don't have a boyfriend, and I don't have a girlfriend. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I will do all the group purchases for you in the future."

Lu Xiaoqiao was almost laughing with anger. Adhering to the principle of not breaking up, she replied with her last bit of patience: "Manager Qian, please stop joking. If you don't want to talk today, let's talk in a few days."

"Ms. Lu, why are you pretending? You all hire pretty girls for sales. They're just there to accompany clients."

Lu Xiaoqiao's face immediately turned cold when he heard what he said.

"Manager Qian, we are a legitimate company, and you work for a prestigious company. I advise you to keep a low profile in your words and deeds."

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he picked up his backpack and turned to leave.

When Manager Qian saw her about to leave, he quickly grabbed her bag and said, "How about you stay with me for one night? We'll sleep together and sign the contract tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect that he would still pester her even after she said that, and even sleep with her?

"I'll sleep with your mother!"

Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but curse.

She pulled the bag back from Manager Qian's hand with force. At this moment, she felt there was no need to save face anymore.

Just as I was about to say "I know your president, just wait for me" to scare him, I heard someone shout from behind.

"Ms. Lu!?"

Lu Xiaoqiao turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, stunned for a moment: "Secretary Ding?"

"I'm here to buy coffee for Mr. Zhou. Do you have business with our company?"

Secretary Ding was usually too busy to pay attention to the company's procurement issues, but when he saw Lu Xiaoqiao, he suddenly realized it.

It seems that the company's recent team building requires the purchase of a batch of clothing. Why didn't I think of it before? If the order is given to Miss Lu, and she is happy, Mr. Zhou will naturally be happy too.

"Are you talking about our company's group purchase? Don't worry, Miss Lu. I'll go back and report to President Zhou later. If it hasn't been finalized, then we'll leave it to your company. President Zhou is usually too busy to pay much attention to these things."

Manager Qian, who was standing next to them, didn't expect to meet the chief secretary of the president's office. Seeing the two of them talking and obviously knowing each other, and then seeing Secretary Ding's obvious respect for Lu Xiaoqiao, his heart sank.

When he heard how he knew the CEO again, he felt cold sweat all over his body. He was thinking about saying something to make amends when he heard Lu Xiaoqiao say something that made him want to die.

"What do you need to report? No need to report. Manager Qian said that as long as someone sleeps with him, the deal can be signed tomorrow."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoqiao said, Secretary Ding turned his gaze to Manager Qian in shock: "Manager Qian, is what Miss Lu said true?"

Manager Qian had an awkward smile on his face, his facial expression was stiff and looked extremely unnatural, and he rubbed his hands together subconsciously. At this moment, he regretted so much that he didn't know what to do.

"This, how is this possible?"

Once Secretary Ding knew about it, the president would definitely know about it too. Thinking of the consequences of the president knowing about it, Manager Qian couldn't help but swallow his saliva and tried to defend himself.

"Secretary Ding, Miss Lu misunderstood! I meant to wait until I woke up and sign the contract tomorrow. I said it was too late to draft a contract. I meant to go to sleep by myself. See, didn't Miss Lu misunderstand me?"

Secretary Ding naturally did not believe his explanation. After she reported the matter to the boss, his future punishment and whether he would stay or go would be decided by the boss himself. The important thing now was how to appease the future boss's wife.

After listening to Manager Qian's explanation, Lu Xiaoqiao didn't say anything. Anyway, she had already explained the situation to Secretary Ding. How to investigate and deal with it next was an internal matter of their company.

She didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing. Even if nothing happened, it would not sound good to tell others about it.

"Secretary Ding, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Lu Xiaoqiao said and turned to walk out of the cafe.

How could Secretary Ding let Lu Xiaoqiao leave like that? He hurriedly chased after her and blocked her way.

"Ms. Lu, please don't be angry. I will report this matter to Mr. Zhou truthfully. Mr. Zhou hates people who are obsessed with lust the most. Mr. Zhou usually has social events, and he won't even look at a beautiful woman sitting next to him. No, Mr. Zhou doesn't allow other women to sit next to him."

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at him, his speech incoherent, and said helplessly, "Secretary Ding, whether or not there's a beautiful woman sitting next to Mr. Zhou is none of my business. I just hope you won't wear tinted glasses when handling this matter, thinking that this happened to me and we're dealing with it because we know each other. I hope your company will judge from the perspective of the matter itself. How to handle it or not is your company's internal matter. Also, when you report to Mr. Ding, please don't tell Mr. Zhou that it was me, okay?"

"Okay, I understand, Miss Lu. Then, you are not angry anymore, right?" Secretary Ding said and glanced at her expression.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't know why Secretary Ding was always concerned about whether she was angry or not. Wasn't he considering whether the company's image would be affected?

"I'm not angry, Secretary Ding, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."

Watching her walk away, Secretary Ding did not chase her, but returned to the cafe.

When Manager Qian saw Secretary Ding coming back, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Secretary Ding, look at what's happened. Can you please not let President Zhou know about what happened today?"

Secretary Ding sighed and said, "Do you know who she is?"

Manager Qian shook his head, knowing only that she was Chenxin's salesperson.

"Miss Lu, she is..." Secretary Ding finally didn't say the words "Mr. Zhou's person".

"I advise you to confess this matter to Mr. Zhou yourself, otherwise Mr. Zhou will find out himself. You understand."

Secretary Ding ignored him and left with his coffee.
