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

115: Let me set you a small goal”Tsk tsk, how tragic...”

”This is a massive loss of face!”

”Taken down by his own subordinate—what do you call that? Getting what he deserved?”

Although these whispers weren’t loud, they sounded exceptionally piercing in the dead silence of the conference room.

Li Hong wasn’t blind.

Seeing the group from Market Department One still whispering and huddling together, the fire in his heart flared up again with a ’whoosh’!

Bang!

He slammed his palm onto the table once more!

”Laughing?!”

Li Hong’s roar was several times louder than before!

”Do you bastards still have the face to laugh?!”

He suddenly pointed at Liu Yangfan and the rest of Market Department One behind him, cursing them out!

”Look at your own bullshit performance!”

”You have the nerve to watch someone else’s joke here?!”

Li Hong’s spittle sprayed out like a rainstorm!

”I’m asking you!”

”Has your performance improved?!”

”Have your new clients increased?!”

”Have you closed any orders?!”

The three questions in a row were like three heavy hammers, smashing down hard on the heads of everyone in Market Department One!

Thunderous wrath exploded overhead!

The gloating smile on Liu Yangfan’s face froze instantly!

The conference room, which had been buzzing just a moment ago, turned into a graveyard once again!

This time, no one dared to make even the slightest sound.

One by one, they were as quiet as cicadas in winter, even making a conscious effort to lighten their breathing, fearing that the next person to be dragged out for a public execution would be themselves!

Li Hong’s thunderous questioning rang through the entire conference room like heavy hammer blows.

Dead silence.

A dead silence even more terrifying than before.

Liu Yangfan and the supervisors and team leaders under him all turned pale, looking as if they were mourning their own parents.

Seeing their pathetic state, the fire in Li Hong’s chest burned even brighter, but he knew that cursing alone wouldn’t solve the underlying problem.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and turned his gaze once more toward the pillar of the department—Lin Chao.

The fury in his eyes instantly transformed into burning admiration and expectation.

”Everyone, lift your heads up!”

Li Hong’s voice remained loud, but it now carried a hint of frustration at their lack of progress.

”Take a good look at Lin Chao!”

”Look at how he handles business!”

”I’m telling you, from today on, Lin Chao is the role model for all of you!”

He pointed at Lin Chao and issued a strict order to everyone.

”Learn from him, goddammit!”

”I don’t care what methods you use—whether you cry to your parents or get down on your knees and beg!”

”Give me at least half of Lin Chao’s drive!”

Li Hong paused, scanned the room, and enunciated a goal that was enough to suffocate everyone.

”I’m setting a small goal for you.”

”Starting next month, every person, every month, will bring in two million in sales for me!”

”Do I make myself clear?!”

Two million?!

As soon as that number was uttered, the sound of collective gasping instantly filled the conference room!

What kind of international joke was this?!

Two million a month?!

Does he think we’re all Lin Chao?!

Even if we were Lin Chao, where are we supposed to find that many blind rich people?!

Absurdity and despair were written all over everyone’s faces, and in their hearts, they cursed Li Hong to high heaven.

This isn’t setting a goal; this is trying to drive people to their deaths!

However, no matter how much their hearts were churning, not a single person dared to speak up on the surface.

They could only nod mechanically and numbly, like a flock of terrified quails.

”Un... understood...”

The voices were scattered and completely devoid of energy.

”Haven’t you eaten?! Louder!”

Li Hong roared again!

”Understood!!”

This time, the voices were finally uniform, echoing through the conference room.

Li Hong finally nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

”Fine, the meeting ends here!”

”Now get the hell out of here!”

”Get out and find a way to make some sales!”

Before he had even finished speaking, everyone in the conference room stood up with a ’whoosh,’ looking as if they had been granted a general amnesty, and rushed toward the door as if fleeing for their lives.

They were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be caught by Li Hong for another round of verbal abuse.

Kuang Qiyuan followed at the very back of the crowd, looking like his soul had been sucked out, his footsteps unsteady.

Liu Yangfan, however, was in no hurry to leave.

He unhurriedly packed up his notebook and water bottle, his peripheral vision locked onto Kuang Qiyuan the entire time.

Once almost everyone had left, he carried his things and walked over to Kuang Qiyuan with a beaming smile.

”Oh my, isn’t this... Deputy Minister Kuang!”

Liu Yangfan intentionally dragged out his words, emphasizing the ’Vice’ in ’Vice Minister’ with heavy clarity.

The gloating in his tone was completely undisguised.

Kuang Qiyuan’s body stiffened abruptly, and his face instantly turned ashen!

His knuckles cracked from the sheer force with which he gripped his notebook, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged!

But in the end, he held back.

He slowly turned his head and squeezed out a smile that looked more painful than crying from between his teeth.

”Minister Liu, is there something you need?”

”Nothing, nothing.”

Liu Yangfan smiled even more broadly and patronizingly patted Kuang Qiyuan on the shoulder.

”I just remembered, Deputy Minister Kuang, you were bragging to me before about how your Department Two had gained a fierce general.”

He tsk-tsked twice, the mockery on his face almost overflowing.

”Looking at it now, Minister Lin is indeed fierce!”

”Too fierce!”

”So fierce that he, the new wave, has directly smashed you, the old wave, to death on the beach!”

These words were like a poisoned dagger, stabbing ruthlessly into Kuang Qiyuan’s heart!

Kuang Qiyuan’s breathing instantly became heavy, and his eyes were bloodshot with rage!

But he knew he couldn’t lash out.

Lashing out now would only make him an even bigger laughingstock!

He forcibly suppressed the overwhelming fury in his heart, curled his lips, and spoke in a raspy voice.

”Minister Liu is right.”

”Minister Lin is indeed impressive. It’s just that we old bones can’t keep up with the pace of the youngsters anymore.”

”Sigh, I’m old and useless.”

He tried to use self-deprecation to defuse the sharp humiliation.

However, how could Liu Yangfan let him off so easily?

”Eh? You’re quite wrong there!”

Liu Yangfan waved his hand with an expression of exaggerated surprise.

”Deputy Minister Kuang, we’re not even forty yet, in the prime of our lives. How can you call yourself an old bone?”

”You’re being too modest!”

”Or perhaps... you’re suffering from premature aging?”

Liu Yangfan leaned in closer and lowered his voice. Every word was like a needle pricking Kuang Qiyuan’s fragile nerves.

The fire in Kuang Qiyuan’s heart flared up again with a ’whoosh,’ rushing straight to his head!

He stared fixedly at Liu Yangfan’s smug face, wishing he could punch it into pieces!

But he couldn’t.

In the midst of this extreme anger and humiliation, Kuang Qiyuan’s mind instead became clearer than ever before.

His eyes darted quickly.

Suddenly, he smiled.

That smile was sinister, causing Liu Yangfan’s heart to skip a beat for some reason.

Kuang Qiyuan spoke eerily, his tone carrying a trace of strange agreement.

”Minister Liu, you’re right.”

”This fierce general of our Market Department Two is indeed... too impressive.”
