Inside President Luo’s office.
Supervisor Gao’s face gradually broke out in a cold sweat.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
On the other hand, President Luo’s gaze grew increasingly displeased.
Gao Wenliang wiped the sweat from his face.
“He must be busy. I heard that Zhao Yue injured his foot playing ball a while ago and is recovering at home. He must be changing his dressing!”
“I’ll call again!”
Gao Wenliang continued to dial the number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
Still no connection.
Gao Wenliang was drenched in sweat.
Just as President Luo was about to speak, the phone on her desk rang.
She reached out and pressed a button.
“Speak!”
Over the phone, the receptionist’s voice came through.
“President Luo, a call came in. It’s Zhao Yue from Zhao Corporation. He wants to speak with you!”
In the office, Gao Wenliang’s eyes lit up, and President Luo’s eyes also showed a hint of confusion.
“Put him through!”
“Alright!”
Gao Wenliang quickly said, “President Luo, I didn’t lie to you, did I?!”
“I told you, President Zhao would definitely contact us. I made a special trip and found someone to deliver a message. President Zhao surely gave face.”
President Luo gestured for him to stop talking.
Over the phone, Zhao Yue’s voice, tinged with a hint of resentment, rang out.
“Is this President Luo of Tianluo Trade?”
President Luo took a deep breath, her tone calm but with a slight smile, saying, “That’s right, it’s me.”
Zhao Yue got straight to the point.
“I am Zhao Yue. I believe President Luo should have heard of me!”
President Luo chuckled, “Zhao Corporation is a large export group in Shenzhen City. As we both strive in the Shenzhen City business world, Tianluo Trade has long admired Zhao Corporation, and President Zhao’s name is, of course, a household name!”
As soon as she said this, Zhao Yue on the phone burst into laughter.
He even sounded a bit smug and boastful.
“President Luo, you’re too kind!”
“But President Luo is right. As we both strive in the Shenzhen City business world, our group also looks forward to Tianluo!”
“We should get together more often to contribute to Shenzhen City’s development.”
President Luo also smiled, “President Zhao, you’re too kind. To cooperate with Zhao Corporation is the pursuit of Tianluo Trade.”
Zhao Yue said, “Unfortunately, I accidentally injured my foot playing ball a few days ago, and I’m recovering at home during this time. How about this: once my injury heals, we find some time to get together?”
“Meet up, have a meal, and chat!”
President Luo: “I couldn’t ask for more. I’m flattered that President Zhao would call.”
“How about this: I’ll check my schedule this afternoon, arrange things, and personally visit to check on President Zhao!”
Inside the villa.
Zhao Yue also had the speakerphone on.
After President Luo finished speaking, Zhao Yue turned his head and looked at Chen Fan provocatively.
So what if you’re awesome?
So what if you’re good at games?
Don’t you still work for this woman named Luo Ying?
But in front of me, isn’t she still respectful and polite?
Chen Fan pretended not to see him.
Zhao Yue chuckled, “No need!”
“No need to trouble President Luo. Besides, I’ve already received your company’s regards!”
President Luo also had her speakerphone on.
Hearing these words, Gao Wenliang couldn’t help but puff out his chest.
He gestured to President Luo with his eyes, indicating that it was all his credit!
He was naturally overjoyed.
That pack of Huazi cigarettes wasn’t sent for nothing.
Old Wu, that guy, he put on quite an act!
He even said that he was just a driver and couldn’t speak for anyone?
His words carried quite a bit of weight!
It directly led to Zhao Yue calling himself, and being so polite!
Now, let’s see how you, President Luo, can still find trouble with my Business Department!
Not only that, but you’ll also have to meekly listen to me and provide additional funds for my Business Department!
President Luo looked up at the smug Gao Wenliang, her expression unchanged.
“President Zhao is joking. I didn’t know President Zhao was injured before, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so shabby, making President Zhao laugh at us!”
“No matter what, I should have personally made a trip!”
Zhao Yue burst into laughter.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’re all young people, and this guy is quite to my liking!”
“Besides, I’ve been really bored at home these past few days, and I’m already very happy that he can keep me company here.”
“Favors, they’re more comfortable than any other form.”
President Luo: “???”
Favors?
Company?
Gao Wenliang was also stunned, then whispered, “It’s Old Wu, my fellow townsman!”
“He must have seen President Zhao recovering at home, so he kept President Zhao entertained, which is why President Zhao called us!”
President Luo was slightly confused.
But her face still showed no reaction.
She continued to speak into the phone, “As long as President Zhao is happy, that’s all that matters. Recover quickly so you can get back to work.”
Zhao Yue said, “I appreciate President Luo’s kindness. I have something else I’d like to discuss with President Luo.”
President Luo let out a long breath. Something to discuss?
Business cooperation?
She hadn’t expected Gao Wenliang to have some tricks up his sleeve, progressing to this stage so quickly?
“President Zhao, please speak freely!”
Zhao Yue: “I’d like to ask for another half-day leave for him. He probably won’t be able to return to your company this afternoon.”
Hearing this, President Luo was full of confusion.
“Leave?”
Zhao Yue said, “Yes, after he arrived here this morning, we hit it off immediately. I’m an injured person right now, so if President Luo agrees, let him stay here and keep me company for another half-day.”
“President Luo wouldn’t be so petty, would she?”
President Luo became even more confused.
Him?
Who?
Old Wu?
Gao Wenliang’s fellow townsman?
But what does that have to do with Tianluo Trade?
Why is he asking me for leave?
Seeing the silence on the phone, Zhao Yue raised an eyebrow slightly.
“President Luo?”
President Luo snapped back to reality.
“Hmm? Oh, I don’t quite understand what President Zhao is saying. Is it Supervisor Gao from our company, or…?”
Zhao Yue: “???”
Supervisor Gao?
Chen Fan, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhao Yue frowned and said, “Are you lying to me?”
Chen Fan waved his hand.
“What did I lie to you about?”
Zhao Yue said, “Is your surname Gao, and are you a supervisor at Tianluo Trade?”
Chen Fan was speechless for a moment.
He directly opened his electronic ID and handed it to Zhao Yue.
“Bullshit!”
“I don’t change my name when I walk, nor my surname when I sit!”
After looking at Chen Fan’s information, Zhao Yue became even more confused.
At this moment, President Luo on the other end of the phone was also stunned.
She had heard what Zhao Yue said.
Who lied to him?
Gao Wenliang next to her was also full of confusion.
He couldn’t help but lean in and interject, “President Zhao, I’m Gao Wenliang from the Business Department of Tianluo Trade!”
“When I visited this morning, I couldn’t achieve my goal. How about this: I’ll immediately come to visit now, do you think that’s alright?”
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yue also fell silent.
Pointing to the phone, he looked at Chen Fan and whispered, “Who is that?”
Chen Fan pondered, “Perhaps… it’s a misunderstanding!”
Misunderstanding?
Zhao Yue picked up the phone and said, “President Luo?”
President Luo quickly said, “President Zhao, please speak!”
Zhao Yue said, “Is there some misunderstanding in our conversation?”
President Luo looked up at Gao Wenliang, a flicker of displeasure in her eyes.
Leaning closer to the phone, President Luo said, “I also feel that way. Who is the person President Zhao personally called to ask for leave for?”
“Which employee of our Tianluo is it?”
Zhao Yue said, “Chen Fan, right?”
“He said he’s an employee of your company.”
President Luo was stunned. Chen Fan?
Gao Wenliang was also stunned.
Chen Fan?
How could this be?
Zhao Yue asked confusedly, “Is that not right?”
“Or, does Tianluo Trade have so many employees that President Luo doesn’t know him?”
President Luo took a deep breath.
“No, no, no, President Zhao is joking!”
“I just didn’t expect it, that’s all. I know Chen Fan, and he is indeed an employee of our company!”
“I just didn’t expect President Zhao to personally call to ask for leave for him?”
