Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Really That Kind-Hearted?

"Lady Gu, our Manager Lin is here, you can speak directly to her if you need anything."

Chen Fei said with a smile to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan hummed softly, her red lips curled as she looked at Lin Qian.

Customers are gods since they are guests.

Although Lin Qian did not know what Gu Yan was scheming, she still greeted her with a smile, adhering to the spirit of service.

"Lady Gu, what would you like to choose?"

Gu Yan did not speak; she just slightly raised her almond-shaped eyes and scrutinized Lin Qian, exhibiting a haughty demeanor.

Is this...another provocation?

Lin Qian pursed her red lips and quietly waited for two minutes. When Gu Yan had not uttered a single word, she said, "Lady Gu, if you haven’t decided what to buy yet, you can sit on the sofa and rest a bit until you do..."

"Oh, are you getting impatient already? Lin Qian, is this how you treat your guests?" Gu Yan crossed her arms and glared coldly at Lin Qian.

You should act more like a guest then!

Lin Qian did not speak, but she complained inwardly.

"Are you mute? I’m talking to you!"

Gu Yan looked at Lin Qian with disdain and rebuked her sharply.

Lin Qian’s eyebrows imperceptibly furrowed but quickly relaxed.

Her long sales career helped her suppress her emotions, "Lady Gu, what would you like to select today? How can I assist you?"

She would treat her as the most demanding customer—she would endure!

Seeing Lin Qian’s humble attitude, Gu Yan finally smiled satisfactorily.

"Hmm, a salesperson should indeed have the attitude of a salesperson. When a customer asks you something, you must respond. Don’t think too highly of yourself."

Lin Qian, she would play this game slowly!

Gu Yan scorned Lin Qian before getting to the main point.

"Well, today I came to order a batch of employee uniforms. Lin Qian, isn’t it great that I thought of you first? Unlike you who stole my life and my man. I hope, considering that I’m boosting your sales, you could also take back your affections for Su Yu’an and stop hassling her, okay?"

Gu Yan intentionally raised her voice as if she wanted everyone to hear.

Obviously, she achieved her aim.

The store was mostly filled with women—gossip was in their nature. Their looks towards Lin Qian were full of implications.

Lin Qian’s red lips tightened, her fingers unconsciously curled as she looked at Gu Yan’s smug face and slightly curled her lips, "Lady Gu, it seems I should also thank you for your kindness? But gratitude should be mutual, shouldn’t you also thank me for my restraint? After all, you keep your ongoing secret ties with another man behind your fiancé’s back, and I haven’t exposed you to your fiancé."

Work was one thing she could endure.

But personal issues, she was unwilling to tolerate.

"You..."

Gu Yan’s face changed, not expecting Lin Qian to speak so unreservedly in front of the public.

She suddenly spoke coldly, "Lin Qian, do you still care about your sales? Is this how you treat a VIP guest?"

"Lady Gu, work is work, I also do not appreciate discussing personal matters with me at the workplace."

Lin Qian replied with a light smile, still maintaining a respectful yet firm demeanor.

This calm appearance made Gu Yan’s chest heave with anger.

She glared at her coldly, and after a long moment, suddenly smiled, "That’s right, personal matters shouldn’t be discussed at the workplace. So, Manager Lin, considering we know each other, could you give me a discount? After all, we from the Gu Family employ nearly two thousand people, and this is not a small order."

Outspoken women, let them jump around; she was waiting to see their drama!

Hearing Gu Yan’s words, Lin Qian had a moment of deep contemplation.

Although MXL primarily dealt in luxury goods, they did have channels for customizing high-end employee uniforms to meet the apparel needs of major global companies.

Such orders were seldom received by general counters.

Indeed, for such large orders, big companies usually had personnel specifically responsible for communicating directly with headquarters.

Was Gu Yan really so kind as to boost her own sales performance?

"Lin Qian, what are you staring at? Are you so happy that you’ve gone stupid?"

Lady Gu crossed her arms, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Lin Qian snapped out of it and smiled at Gu Yan, "Please wait a moment, Lady Gu, while I consult with the regional manager."

After all, refusing such a big order that was delivered right to her doorstep was out of the question.

Everything would be discussed after the order was accepted.

Lin Qian signaled Chen Fei to take Gu Yan to the rest area for a while, then she walked to the corner and called Du Qian.

"Manager Du, I have a friend who wants to order a batch of staff uniforms. What’s the lowest discount we can offer her?"

"Your friend? How many are they ordering?"

Du Qian’s tone was not without surprise, as she asked lazily.

"Probably just under two thousand."

"That amount? Then give her a 15% discount."

Du Qian offered a discount, and Lin Qian knew that was the extent of the regional manager’s authority.

"Alright, then I thank Manager Du on behalf of my friend. I’ll hang up now."

"Wait."

Du Qian interjected, "Lin Qian, let me remind you, the order you take, you have to service until it’s completed. If there’s any error with this order, I can’t guarantee your position."

Hearing this, Lin Qian chuckled inwardly.

Du Qian’s remark might sound caring on the surface but perhaps she was feeling threatened?

Since Lin Qian had taken over the counter in Su City, her sales performance had surpassed previous years.

If this order was smoothly completed, she believed the title of Best Manager of the Year would undoubtedly be hers.

The company had a promotion system where an employee with significant contributions could be fast-tracked.

Was Du Qian afraid that Lin Qian’s capabilities would surpass hers, afraid that Lin Qian might overshadow her and eventually become her boss?

"I understand, Manager Du, I need to get back to work now."

The competition in the workplace was fierce.

She didn’t want to think about anything else, only to methodically do the work at hand.

Lin Qian hung up the phone and approached Gu Yan, "Lady Gu, the company can offer you a 15% discount. When would you like to proceed with the paperwork?"

"Proceed with the paperwork?"

Gu Yan put down her water glass and looked up at Lin Qian, "How about this, I’ll pay a portion of the advance payment today to place the order, and tomorrow, why don’t you make a trip to Gu Family’s, and we can sign the contract there. We’ll pay in three installments—the first 50% of the payment will be made tomorrow, 30% after reviewing the sample garments mid-way, and the remaining balance paid in full upon delivery of the goods. How does that sound?"

"That’s acceptable."

Lin Qian had seen major companies’ clothing purchase processes, and this cooperation method was fine.

"Good, then let’s agree on that happily."

Gu Yan pulled out a card from her bag and handed it to Lin Qian, "There’s a hundred thousand in this card, go ahead and swipe it."

So forthright?

This straightforward approach momentarily stunned Lin Qian.

It all seemed too smooth.

"Lady Gu, our company produces several types of work uniforms, would you like to have a look and choose which style you prefer? The prices vary for each style," Lin Qian suggested.

"We can talk about that when you come to Gu Family tomorrow, I have another appointment now, so hurry up, please."

Gu Yan glanced at her watch impatiently.

Lin Qian pursed her lips and looked at Gu Yan again, nodding, "Okay."

Whether Gu Yan was truly there to boost her performance or had other motives, Lin Qian could only wait and see.

Everything should go smoothly if it followed procedure.
