Chapter 80 - Be misunderstood

Translator: Lionwwang  Editor: Lionwwang

The next morning, I call Dorra first. When I’m sure the girl has gone to school honestly, I’m a little reassuring. Then I leave home and go to the company.

When I step out of the elevator and enter the door. That hot girl in the front desk is saying greeting to me in a loud voice. This makes me feel a little fluttered. In this company which is full of the beauties, to be the only man here, it should be a very happy thing in the eyes of others.

When I enter the office, I am surprised to see a woman is lying on the innermost desk.

It’s Yanny. She’s leaning over the table as if she is asleep. Her hair is spreading over her shoulders, with scattered documents piled up in front of her. Some folders fall to the ground. The computer is open, but the screen is still playing the screen saver animation.

I look at the light in the office. Has she worked all night in the company?

When I come to her, I hear her gentle breathing, which is very even. It seems that she is sleeping deeply. I randomly pick up a document in front of me, which is about the exhibition plan of an auto show, including invite the endorsement of those stars, quotations and comparisons of auto show model companies etc. She has all made detailed statistics.

I feel a little guilty. Although I don’t intend to do this manager for too long, But I watch my staff work hard, I myself as a leader took a day off yesterday and went out to eat, drink and play with Dorra. In this way, I am a little ashamed.

Looking at the time, it’s almost time for work. Although I’m a little embarrassed, I still tap lightly on her desktop.

Yanny is shocked and looking up. Her eyes are red and swollen, probably due to lack of sleep. She’s glancing at me, stunned: “Manager?” She looks at the clock on the wall again, sighs and yawns, “So soon is it dawn already?”

I sigh: “You worked all night?”

“En huh.” Yanny picks up the cup on the table. There is still some tea left. She drinks it all and then smacking her lips, “The case for the auto show is coming soon. I’ve got some specific information first. Yesterday, the planning department has sent some plans to us, but you were not here. I have to work out several plans first. When we have a meeting today, they can be reported for review. There are also quotations from model agent companies. There aren’t too many high-quality professional models in this city. I mean we have to look for them from other cities. In addition, there are some additional requirements from the car dealers.”

I wave my hand, indicating her not busy talking about these. I walk aside and pour a cup of water for her: “Drink water first, don’t drink tea or coffee on an empty stomach in the morning, it’s bad for the health. Let’s go out for breakfast and talk slowly then.”

Yanny is smiling. She takes the cup over and drinking: “I can’t see it. You do know how to keep healthy.”

I shake my head: “I don’t understand these originally. My girlfriend taught me.”

I’m telling the truth. Since Didi came into my family, my life has basically entered a very regular state. She takes care of me very carefully. She even teaches me to get up every morning and drink a glass of water first. She says it’s good for health.

“Is our department going to take on the auto show?” I pick up the folder, “Is it a new business?”

“No, it’s a big business that the whole company is doing. Our department is only responsible for part of it. The auto show will be held next month. Yesterday, company assigned some specific works. You were not here, so I had to do it myself first.” Yanny is sighing intentionally and laughing, “You are the manager, you have to pay me for my overtime works!”

I immediately laugh and say: “Let’s go. I invite you out for breakfast.”

She shakes her head: “Not now. I’ll sort out the information on my hand. We need to go out later. We’ll go to the International Convention and Exhibition Center this morning to see the venue. We’ll pick up customers at the airport at noon. Well, I’ll buy something to eat on the way.”

This woman is awesome! I sigh in my heart. Yanny is definitely an outstanding person with business leadership potential. It seems that she is the perfect person to really lead this department.

I see her insist, just nod and go into the office to pack up my own things.

After a while, almost all the people arrive, and four other girls in our department have already started to work, Yanny just comes in my office.

Apparently, she has washed her face with cold water. With a plain face, her hair has been straightened up, and her professional dress has been tidied up. The whole person looks refreshing. But although her eyes are shining, but she still can’t conceal some fatigue.

She’s also holding a folder in her hand and handing it over: “These are the documents you need to sign when you were away yesterday.”

I look at them casually, then pick up the pen to sign. Then I give the folder back to her.

“You sign it so fast.” Yanny is saying with laugh, “There’s a bill of payment in! As soon as you sign, I can go to the finance department to apply for money! Are you not afraid of my corruption?”

I laugh, and then looking at her sincerely: “I’m quite reassuring with you. To be honest, although I’m still a stranger to our department, but I do know you’re not that kind of person.”

After that, we go out to the International Convention and Exhibition Center to see the venue.

Generally speaking, most of the large-scale exhibitions in this city are placed in the “International Convention and Exhibition Center”. Yanny tells me that the International Convention and Exhibition Center is holding a small domestic auto exhibition. We can go to visit it for reference. Maybe it will be helpful.

After downstairs, we are going to the parking lot. Instead of letting Yanny pick up her car, I take her to the BMW I borrowed from Azle yesterday. She is curious: “Is this your car? Very good! Chen Yang, you are quite rich.”

I laugh and say: “I’m just a part-time worker. Where can I afford to buy such a car? This car was borrowing from a friend.”

She’s just laughing and saying nothing, but there is a strange look in her eyes. When we drive out of the company, along the way, I find a convenience store, go in and buy a breakfast, heat it with the microwave in the shop, and then get in the car and give it to her. She smiles, and then begins to eat it quickly.

I know people who stay up overnight are very hungry in the morning! People who often stay up late can understand such a feeling. Although she eats fast, she still pays attention to the ladylike manner as much as possible. She’s holding the breakfast in one hand and taking out a paper towel with the other hand. It’s just that she peeks at me from time to time.

“Chen Yang, you are a very considerate man. Your girlfriend is very lucky.” She’s saying with laugh.

I shake my head and say: “What about you? Do you have a boyfriend? You staied up all night and didn’t go home, would he mind?”

After asking this question, I suddenly feel the atmosphere is a little strange. I take a look at her, but see her face is slightly unnatural. There is a slight melancholy in her eyes. I realize that I shouldn’t ask this question. I quickly change the topic and laugh, “You said there is a car exhibition in the Convention & Exhibition Center today. What kind of auto exhibition is it? Is it similar to the one we are going to undertake? Will that affect ours?”

She’s immediately back to her strong business woman personality, shaking her head: “Different! The last two days’ show is basically showing the middle-class, low-class and family cars, aiming at different customer groups. Our show is mainly focus on some European and American high-end brands, aiming at those customers with strong consumption capacity.”

Then she’s sighing: “But in our medium-sized city, I’m afraid the middle-class and low-class cars occupy the mainstream of purchasing. After all, the purchasing capability of this city is not as good as that of the international metropolis. I’m afraid the consumption potential of some top-end cars is not very optimistic.”

I nod.

Basically, both Japanese and Korean cars occupy a large part of the domestic mid-class car market. From the price comparison, the competitiveness of European or American mid-class cars is very difficult to compete with Japanese or Korean cars.

There’s nothing much to say about the auto show in the Convention and Exhibition Center. The flow of people is quite good, but it can be seen that most people probably just come with a lively mood. They go to the auto show to watch the bustle, of course, and the beautiful car models.

Walking into the Convention and Exhibition center, I just take a look at it at random. Like most of the men, pay attention to the figure and appearance of the model. Honda’s models are beautiful and sexy, while Toyota’s models are in good shape. Suzuki’s models look pure. Others, I don’t care too much.

Yanny’s attitude is much more serious than mine. She’s observing the location of the booth, the flow of people at the auto show, the lighting, the design etc. She’s looking very carefully, and even taking out a notebook to record one by one.

After a while, she’s suddenly sighing: “I’m afraid we’re in trouble.”

“What?” I ask.

She’s pointing to the Honda booth: “Can’t you see it? Their models are invited from Japan!”

I curl my lips: “Japanese girls? I didn’t notice. These models can’t talk. They just stand there and make the poses for people to take pictures. There’s no different from our country’s. There’s nothing to do with good and bad.”

“Different.” She’s grinning bitterly, “I’m not saying that our local models are not as good as these Japan models! However, for media coverage, this is at least a gimmick, a news selling point that can attract attention! Japanese professional models, at least can attract some media attentions! If our auto show still uses the model of our own country, then we will be one step behind in publicity.” She’s thinking with her eyes closed, “It seems that we have to think about whether we can let those car dealers try to contact some foreign models, but the cost will be more expensive.” Then she looks a little queer, “Unless…”

“What?”

“Unless you invite the hot girls of the lingerie show again, but company will not allow.” she says bitterly, “That’ll be too risky! Last time we played too much. Fortunately, no one could look through. Otherwise, the credibility of our company would be ruined by us.”

I blink and thinking that this thing really can’t do it again. If I ask those women come again, in case anyone accidentally shouts “Thank you, bosses!” or so on in public, it would be really all over when the reporter hears.

“Let’s go back and discuss with the planers in company. We are not able to make the decision now.” She’s been thinking for a quite while, but still has no any idea.

Looking at it casually for a while, it is obvious that Japanese and Korean cars are very popular. They are purchased by a large group and at a moderate price. I have to admit that in the domestic mid-class car market, their sales are the best.

…

When we arrive the parking lot, I ask Yanny to wait for me at the gate. I go to drive the car out. But when I get in the car, I see unconsciously that a man is walking towards her quickly. The man looks medium-sized, about thirty years old, wearing a simple casual suit. Yanny seems stunned for a moment when she sees the man. Under my surprised gaze, the man is walking quickly to her and slapping her in the face with his hand raised!

Pah!

Yanny is slapped to the ground! Then the man is scolding and pointing at she and and me. Then he’s grabing her and slapping her on the face again with the backhand.

I come back to my senses, rushing out of the car, running quickly towards them, grabbing the man’s arm and throwing him to the ground. The man is thrown to the ground with his buttocks on, but his face is still full of the angers and he’s still shouting: “Bitch! Bitch! You such a shameless woman!”

I ignore him, reaching out my hand and lifting Yanny up. Her face is pale. Hearing the man is curseing viciously, I am so angry that I am about going up to beat him. Yanny grabs me and screaming: “No! No! Chen Yang! No!”

The man is jumping up, pointing at Yanny and scolding: “Well, you such a bitch! Which man are you seducing this time? Hum, driving a BMW? Is him rich? What else do you have to say?”

She’s covering her face and saying angrily: “Don’t talk nonsense! This is my colleague!”

“Colleague?” This man is furious, “You are taking me as an idiot?! Your company doesn’t have any man! Don’t you think I don’t know it? You didn’t go home last night, did you? In the morning, I see you come out and get in his car at the entrance of your company. You’re fucking adultery, you think I don’t know?”

After that, he is rushing up again but he is pushed back by me. Yannyis grabbing my arm, griting her teeth and saying: “Chen Yang, don’t fight with him. I’m sorry! He’s my husband.”

I stare at the man angrily: “Your husband? How can a husband beat his wife like that? Is he a fucking man? Just beat his wife without asking?”

Yanny is shaking her head. She is too angry to keep her chest rolling. She’s looks at the man and says: “Jam, don’t make a fool of yourself! What do you want to do this time?”

The man is looking at me with a trivial expression, suddenly says: “It’s very simple! This man touched my wife. How to count this? Damn it, I can’t be dishonored for nothing, can I?”

Yanny is almost fainted when hearing this. She’s swaying and pointing at the man with her fingertips trembling: “You! You are too shameless!”

The man is pating his cloths and staring at me: “You! When did you catch up with her? Do you know she has a husband? Damn, don’t think I’m that easy to be bullied! Aren’t you driving a BMW? Are you a rich man? Rich people can seduce other people’s wife? If you don’t give me a respond today, it will be endless with you!”

After listening to this, I calm down, looking at the man carefully for several times.

His eyes are twinkling and seeming timid, but the expression on his face is deliberately making a casual and indifferent look, as if he dares not to look directly at me.

“Jam! Don’t be such a fool anymore! He’s just my colleague! If you keep making such a fuss again, I’ll call the police!” Yanny is furious, “What do you want this time? Didn’t you say you would not pester me anymore last time?”

“Bah!” His face is showing a shameless expression, “You had dinner yesterday, don’t you eat today?”
