How am I Being a Gigolo When I'm Doing Door-to-door Sales?

114: Subordinates donned yellow robesEvery Supervisor and Group Leader wished they could stuff their Heads into their crotches and act like ostriches.

Just as the atmosphere was tense and frozen to the breaking point,

a hand with well-defined knuckles gently pushed a thermos in front of Li Hong.

It was Lin Chao.

His face still wore that calm and indifferent expression, as if this thunderstorm had nothing to do with him.

”Manager Li, cool down a bit.”

Lin Chao’s voice wasn’t loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly.

”It’s not worth getting angry and ruining your health over such a small matter.”

This move stunned everyone in the meeting room.

Those few people from Market Department One were cursing him in their hearts.

Suck-up! Bootlicker!

Handing over tea at a time like this, isn’t that adding fuel to the fire?!

But just as this thought arose, the moment they thought of Lin Chao’s terrifying performance of ”twelve million in one morning,” all their curses were instantly stuck in their throats, unable to utter a single word.

Damn it!

Dammit, this bootlicker... he actually has the capital to be a bootlicker!

We’re all human, why can his performance be so pervertedly good?!

Everyone’s hearts felt like a knocked-over spice rack; jealousy, unwilling, confusion, anger—all sorts of emotions intertwined, making their faces contort.

Li Hong’s anger seemed to find an outlet because of Lin Chao’s small gesture.

He picked up the thermos, unscrewed the lid, and gulped down several mouthfuls of strong tea.

”Hah—!”

He let out a long breath and gave Lin Chao an appreciative look.

This kid has sharp eyes!

He knows when to advance and when to retreat!

More importantly, he has fucking strength!

Li Hong slammed the cup heavily onto the table with a crisp ”clack,” drawing everyone’s attention again.

His gaze became sharp once more.

”Take what I just said to heart!”

”But!”

Li Hong’s tone shifted, becoming grim.

”Just scolding you useless trash won’t solve any problems!”

”The company wants results! It wants generals who can lead a team to victory!”

He paused, his eyes like torches, finally locking onto the only focus in the room—Lin Chao!

”Given Comrade Lin Chao’s outstanding work ability and brilliant performance results!”

”Therefore, after research and decision by the company, and reported to Director Shen for approval!”

Li Hong’s voice suddenly rose, like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in everyone’s ears!

”From today on, Lin Chao is officially promoted to be the Head of our Market Department Two!”

Boom—!

This news was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the small meeting room!

The original Head of Market Department Two, Kuang Qiyuan, whose face was already pale from being scolded, turned deathly white in an instant!

He snapped his Head up, his eyes full of unbelievable shock!

Holy shit?!

Lin Chao... is the Head now?!

Then what about me?!

What the hell do I do?!

Are they going to demote me from Head back to Supervisor?!

Kuang Qiyuan’s mind went blank instantly, his heart pounded wildly, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his Head!

He was panicking!

He frantically winked at Li Hong, his eyes almost twitching from blinking!

Manager Li! Boss! Look at me!

I’m your man!

It’s me! You were the one who promoted me in the first place! Did you forget?!”

However, Li Hong acted as if he were blind, directly ignoring his SOS signals that were about to fly out of his eye sockets.

He didn’t even look at Kuang Qiyuan, just expressionlessly continued to announce the subsequent arrangements.

”As for the original Head of Market Department Two, Kuang Qiyuan...”

Li Hong intentionally drew out his voice.

Kuang Qiyuan’s heart instantly leapt into his throat!

Li Hong’s cold and heartless voice continued.

”Effective immediately, he is demoted to deputy head of Market Department Two, to assist Head Lin Chao in his work!”

deputy head?

Kuang Qiyuan’s face turned green instantly!

As green as a ripe bitter melon!

Dammit!

In the entire Linhai City Kangyang Group branch, from top to bottom, who didn’t know that the Marketing Department had one person per position!

Market Department Two had always had only one Supervisor and one Head!

When the hell did a ”deputy head” position pop up?!”

Because of Lin Chao’s sudden rise, they first unprecedentedly forced in a Supervisor half a rank higher than the original Supervisor, Zhang Wei.

Now, they even kicked him off the throne of the Head!

To appease him, or rather to humiliate him, they fabricated a ”deputy head” title out of thin air!

This was ten thousand times more malicious than just telling him to get lost!

This wasn’t a demotion at all!

This was inventing a position to nail him to a pillar of shame for a public execution!

Kuang Qiyuan could almost imagine that from today on, he would become the biggest joke in the entire company!

A former Head with his own former subordinate riding on his Head!

At the thought of this, he felt a sweet, metallic taste in his throat, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot!

In the crowd, the Supervisor of Market Department Two, Zhang Wei, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

That was close!

Dammit, that was really close!

Although he hadn’t taken Lin Chao seriously before and had even joined Kuang Qiyuan in giving Lin Chao a hard time,

but fortunately... fortunately he had slid into a kowtow fast enough and his attitude was sincere enough!

When Lin Chao was promoted to a Supervisor of the same rank as him, he didn’t act one way to his face and another behind his back; instead, he immediately shouted ”Brother Chao” over and over from the bottom of his heart!

Looking at it now, those shouts of ”Brother Chao” were the wisest investment he had ever made in his life!

It saved his position!

It saved his job!

Otherwise, the one being publicly executed today probably wouldn’t have been just Kuang Qiyuan!

Unlike the fear on Market Department Two’s side, those few people from Market Department One had the look of people watching a good show.

The way they looked at Kuang Qiyuan was quite strange.

There was sympathy, there was pity, but more... was uncontrollable schadenfreude!

Especially the Head of Market Department One, Liu Yangfan!

The smile at the corner of his mouth was almost reaching his ears, practically carved onto his face!

Satisfying!

Dammit, this is just too satisfying!

Liu Yangfan was overjoyed, almost wanting to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate on the spot!

A few days ago, that bastard Kuang Qiyuan was still flaunting his power in front of him, acting like a big shot!

”Old Liu, it’s not that I want to nag, but your Department One’s performance needs to improve!”

”Don’t always drag down the entire Marketing Department!”

”Look at our Department Two, we have a fierce general now! Lin Chao! That performance, tsk tsk tsk...”

Liu Yangfan still remembered that smug face clearly!

Now look at you!

Where’s your fierce general?

Your fierce general has ascended to the throne and kicked you, his former master, right out!

Usurped!

This is more exciting than any novel!

The more Liu Yangfan thought about it, the happier he got. His shoulders shook, and he was about to burst out laughing.

The others in Market Department One were also whispering and pointing at Kuang Qiyuan.
