Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Chapter 13: Chapter 012 Inscrutable

I didn’t know why, but as he watched the exasperated beauty curse him out, Qin Tian felt not a single ripple in his heart.

”Sigh, it seems I’m not quite the tender-hearted man to women after all. But does she really need to act like this?”

Amused, Qin Tian turned to Murong Fei and said, ”What I did was for the good of the people. Huang Zhenggang and Huang Zhengxiong from the Security Department are not good news. One practices nepotism and wreaks havoc in the Security Department; the other abuses his power there. Just take today’s incident, for instance, Huang Zhengxiong broke the rules by smoking in the garage, and, believe it or not, the bastard wanted me to pay to run errands and buy him cigarettes. Haha, it cracks me up...”

Qin Tian spoke with relish, while Murong Fei’s beautiful eyes watched him, her expression a mask of resignation.

”So, you think I shouldn’t help you clean house?” Qin Tian finished, adding another sentence.

Murong Fei frowned: ”I am well aware of the type of people my employees are. Qin Tian, let me tell you, doing business doesn’t always require good people; sometimes you need some bad ones too... Ah, forget it, you wouldn’t understand these business tactics!”

Murong Fei said angrily, flinging her hand and sitting down in her office chair.

Man, this woman really does have some tricks up her sleeve, Qin Tian thought as he stared at Murong Fei.

It seemed that Murong Fei must have known about the Huang brothers’ antics in the Security Department. Surprisingly, she turned a blind eye to it and even called it a business tactic. This woman was definitely not just a pretty face.

The office quieted down. Murong Fei gently massaged her temples, eyes closed in contemplation, appearing to ponder some issue and looking somewhat irate.

Qin Tian, seated a few meters away on the sofa, was nonchalantly enjoying the fruit from the coffee table in Murong Fei’s office—top-grade bananas and kiwis—savoring every bite.

”Now, you absolutely cannot stay at Murong Group headquarters. Qin Tian, I give you two options. The first is to work for a subsidiary of Murong Group; it will be exhausting. The second is to be my personal bodyguard, but not an employee of Murong Group Company. Choose between the two,” she said.

Murong Fei opened her eyes and looked at Qin Tian as if she had already guessed which option he would choose.

”Is there no third option?” Qin Tian asked.

Murong Fei’s eyebrows furrowed: ”There is. The third option is that I give you a sum of money, a huge amount, and you get lost immediately.”

”The third option sounds quite tempting,” Qin Tian chuckled. ”How much is the huge amount? Is it a billion?”

Murong Fei gave Qin Tian a sharp look and thought to herself that he was just a country bumpkin dreaming of a billion. Dream on!

”One hundred thousand,” Murong Fei said with a huff.

”What the—your supreme expert is only worth a hundred thousand? Are you kidding me? My worth is just a hundred thousand...”

Qin Tian looked incredulous, thinking if you’d offered a billion, I might have considered vanishing immediately but a hundred thousand, damn, that’s seriously undervaluing someone!

You should know that Qin Tian’s enemies had once offered two billion for his head; even the lowest bid had been one billion.

It never crossed his mind that the king of mercenaries from ”Dragon Soul Team” was worth only a hundred thousand in Murong Fei’s eyes. If word got out, it could make Qin Tian’s enemies explode in anger.

”So you’re looking down on me, huh? Well, in that case, I’ll take the first option,” Qin Tian said, pouting.

”Huh?”

Murong Fei was taken aback, clearly, Qin Tian’s choice was beyond her expectations.

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian, wondering just who this man was, and why she couldn’t see through him? She had almost been certain that he would choose the second option for various reasons.

”Are you sure?” Murong Fei asked.

”Of course.”

”Explain your reasoning.”

”I just don’t want to stay with you.”

”You... Qin Tian!”

Murong Fei bit her lip, outraged that Qin Tian would say he didn’t want to stay with her. It was infuriating!

Here she was, the esteemed CEO, unmatched in beauty and poise, adored by men everywhere who dreamt of just striking up a conversation with her. And yet, here was Qin Tian, forsaking the chance to be her personal bodyguard.

Murong Fei felt defeated; the man before her seemed far more complicated than she had imagined.

Could it be that her grandfather had deeper reasons for arranging their marriage?

”Even if Grandfather had his own plans, if I don’t like this guy, there’s no way I’m marrying him.”

Murong Fei shrugged her nose, now completely at a loss about what to do with this man.

”Fine, then you’ll go work for a real estate subsidiary of Murong Group, Hongtu Real Estate, as a property consultant. Start today, you’re on duty this afternoon!” Murong Fei commanded.

She hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Tian, chewing an apple, stood up and headed out, peeling off his work badge as he went. Without turning back, he threw it directly to Murong Fei.

”Well, I’m off to work then, no need to miss me,” Qin Tian actually didn’t turn back at all.

”You...”

The almighty president of Murong Group was completely ignored by Qin Tian, which left Murong Fei standing in her office, trembling with anger as she watched him strut out without any regard for her authority. When had she ever been disregarded like this!

...

After leaving the headquarters of Murong Group, Qin Tian took a taxi straight to Hongtu Real Estate to report for duty.

As a subsidiary of Murong Group, Hongtu Real Estate was considered slightly below average in terms of importance within the group.

Murong Group had dozens of subsidiaries, several of which were real estate companies, with Hongtu Real Estate ranking at the bottom of that list.

That’s why Murong Fei had chosen to place Qin Tian here. Her grandfather wanted her to assign Qin Tian a position that would challenge him, and this fit the bill perfectly.

The employees of Hongtu Real Estate were known for their exhausting work, and the pay was comparatively low, making it an unpopular place within the group. Murong Fei had purposely arranged for Qin Tian to be transferred here to see how capable he really was—she didn’t believe he could handle it.

”Hello, my name is Li Jing, Manager of Human Resources. We received a call from the group company earlier today. Haha, we just happen to have a vacancy for a property consultant, and you’ve come at the right time. Welcome, Qin Tian.”

Upon arriving at the Human Resources Department of Hongtu Real Estate, Manager Li Jing was very enthusiastic, a stark contrast to the frosty staff at Murong Group’s headquarters.

Moreover, this Li Jing, looking to be in her thirties with light makeup and an elegant demeanor, was also a beautiful woman.

”Thank you, thank you. We’re all colleagues now, so let’s get to know each other better when we have the chance, hehe,” Qin Tian said with a grin.

The two sat in Li Jing’s office, and she looked at Qin Tian, saying, ”Qin Tian, the headquarters just mentioned assigning you as a property consultant, but they didn’t provide us with your resume. So, I’d like to get to know more about you.”

”You look young. I don’t know how long you’ve been in this field? Which real estate company did you work for before?” Li Jing asked.

In the real estate industry, property consultants need various connections and the ability to communicate effectively. As a real estate company under the Murong Group flag, Hongtu Real Estate had higher expectations for property consultants.

Li Jing was unsure of Qin Tian’s abilities and thought he was a top sales expert parachuted in by the headquarters, which is why she wanted to get to know more about his background.

”Ahem, well... I’ve never actually worked as a property consultant at a real estate company before,” Qin Tian said truthfully. ”But I can learn, hehe.”

”Then what did you used to do?” Li Jing was curious.

”Previously, well...” Qin Tian scratched his head. He obviously couldn’t tell her that he used to live life under gunfire; it might scare the beautiful woman sitting before him, and besides, he figured Li Jing wouldn’t believe him anyway.

”Oh, I used to work in the security department at the group company,” Qin Tian replied after a moment’s thought.

As for the fact that he had hit his boss on his first day as a security guard and was transferred here before he even completed a day, Qin Tian certainly wasn’t going to mention that. It wasn’t something to be proud of.

”I see...”

Hearing Qin Tian’s response, Li Jing’s previously eager demeanor instantly dulled. She had thought he was a sales ace sent by headquarters to boost their performance, but it turned out he was a sales novice—and a former security guard at that.

Upon giving Qin Tian a closer look, Li Jing noticed he was fairly good-looking and said, ”No problem, sales doesn’t require too much specialized skill. If you haven’t done it before, you can learn now. Work hard, Qin Tian. I think you can do exceptionally well.”

Li Jing encouraged Qin Tian, though she wasn’t very confident when she uttered the last part of her sentence. How could a former security guard boost sales? In truth, she only said it to keep Qin Tian from feeling disappointed.

She probably got a relation from headquarters, sigh, headquarters really knows how to make things difficult for Hongtu Real Estate, sending us an outsider. Well, let it be, as long as Qin Tian doesn’t cause trouble, we’ll turn a blind eye, Li Jing thought somewhat despondently.

Li Jing handed the work badge to Qin Tian and said, ”So, Qin Tian, since you’re new here, the company needs to assign you a mentor to show you the ropes and help you get familiar with the company’s environment. How does that sound?”

”Sure.”

”Then follow me, and meet a few of our company’s top sales managers.”

As Li Jing escorted Qin Tian to the Sales Department, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. With Qin Tian being such a rookie, she wondered if the proud managers in Sales would be willing to take him under their wing.

Thinking it over, it really was uncertain—who would want to risk their own performance by mentoring a newbie?

In the sales managers’ office, the Sales Department’s beautiful manager, Qin Yue, welcomed them in and said, ”Please wait here for a moment, I’ll bring our company’s top four sales managers to meet you.”

Two minutes after Qin Yue left, she returned with three men in their thirties.

”Our company’s top four sales managers. Three of them are present, and the other, our lovely sales manager Lu Qing, is still outside. Right now, she’s on her way back to the office,” said Qin Yue upon returning to the office.
