Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Afraid that I’ll Steal Your Job

Upon hearing Du Qian’s words, Lin Qian curved her lips slightly, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Manager Du, I would like to ask, in what ways am I lacking the ability to manage a store? I remember the responsibilities of a manager quite clearly, and I believe I have fulfilled each one satisfactorily. For instance, completing tasks and targets set by the company; reasonably managing and arranging the merchandise..."

Lin Qian went on to elaborate the duties of a manager.

Given that she was slightly taller than Du Qian, Du had to look up at her when she spoke.

The woman in front of her was extraordinarily beautiful, radiating passion and energy, a testament to her love for her profession.

There’s something uncommon about this Lin Qian!

She felt a significant sense of crisis because of her.

She could imagine that this woman would one day surpass her, shining brightly above her.

How could that be allowed!

"Lin Qian, have you decided to cling stubbornly to this place? How amusing! Aren’t you the newly revealed girlfriend of the president of Yin Group, Yin Moran? You prefer to toil in this small shop instead of being Mrs. Yin? Could it be, as others speculate, that you love flirting with men, enjoying their touches? How promiscuous are you! How could Yin Moran ever fall for a woman like you?"

Her words were utterly demeaning, tinged with acidity and malice.

Lin Qian’s pretty face turned cold, as she stared at Du Qian and said, "Manager Du, if you have nothing else to say, do you turn to personal attacks? Could I also assume that you are trying to get rid of me out of fear that I’ll take over your job?"

"You..."

Du Qian, struck at her cold heart, was left speechless by Lin Qian.

Lin Qian stood calmly, her expression cool and detached.

The atmosphere was extremely tense when suddenly, applause came from the doorway.

Applause!

Lin Qian turned her head just in time to see the office door being pushed open.

Leaning against the door frame was a tall man in casual business attire, smiling and nodding in her direction.

That demeanor...

Lin Qian blinked, watching the man’s long legs casually stride closer...

He looked... quite similar to Yin Moran?

No, his aura wasn’t as good as Yin Moran’s.

This man, although smiling, exuded a somewhat gloomy and sinister aura.

Had she lost her minds?

Why was she comparing every man to Yin Moran?

As Lin Qian lost herself in thoughts, Du Qian had already stepped forward, positioning herself between Lin Qian and the man.

"Are you... President Chu?"

He’s so handsome!

She had been notified that the person coming to inspect the store was the head of MXL.

She had imagined a middle-aged, greasy man with a potbelly; instead, this man was surprisingly young and handsome!

"Chu Yelin."

The man spoke indifferently, his gaze passing over Du Qian and settling on Lin Qian, his upturned peachy eyes twinkling with interest.

Such a gaze was one of fascination.

Inside, Du Qian seethed, quickly saying, "President Chu, I am Du Qian, the regional manager responsible for Su City. Your schedule showed you arriving later tonight, and we haven’t had the chance to prepare for your arrival."

Damn Lin Qian, did Chu Yelin just hear something that piqued his interest in her?

"No need for preparations; you’ve already given me a big surprise."

Chu Yelin, lips curled in a small smile, walked past Du Qian to stand in front of Lin Qian, extending his hand, "Manager Lin Qian, I’ve heard much about you."

Lin Qian: "..."

Heard much about you?

That sounded rather sarcastic!

Indeed, she hadn’t been in Su City for long as the manager, yet her reputation had already made considerable waves, pushing the company into the spotlight—probably leaving a negative impression on the company’s leadership.

Lin Qian bit her lip, gazing at Chu Yelin’s meaningful expression, and shook his hand.

Not wanting Lin Qian to steal all the attention, Du Qian, upon hearing Chu Yelin’s remark, hurriedly said, "President Chu, I was just about to report an issue to you. Lin Qian’s reputation in Su City is in tatters, and due to her, the store has been in repeated troubles. I believe she is unsuitable as the manager of our branch here and should be replaced."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yelin glanced at Du Qian, his smile vanishing, his expression growing solemn.

"Manager Du, I heard your entire conversation. I believe Manager Lin makes a lot of sense. Regardless of the process, our company values performance, and whether the person has the ability to lead the store staff to new achievements. I’ve reviewed your performance reports, and clearly, Manager Lin is exceptionally capable and has brought substantial benefits to our company; there’s no reason to dismiss such an excellent employee."

This statement startled Lin Qian, and soon after, a slight smile curved her lips.

She had thought the company sent someone down as an accuser, only to find Chu Yelin on her side, speaking up for her.

Such leadership, unbiased and seemingly fair, wasn’t too bad.

Du Qian’s face paled, her fist tightening as she dropped her gaze, no longer speaking.

Given Chu Yelin’s attitude toward Lin Qian, it seemed he had a rather good impression of her.

On the contrary, his demeanor toward herself was cool and distant.

What did this mean?

Was it clear that the company recognized Lin Qian’s capabilities as superior to her own?

Was her position now genuinely at risk?

No, she couldn’t just sit back and accept this!

Lost in her thoughts, Du Qian feigned accepting the critique humbly, "Yes, what President Chu said is true, I was being narrow-minded."

Chu Yelin didn’t respond, and Lin Qian, being the person involved, didn’t speak either.

Lin Qian noticed Chu Yelin’s assistant still standing at the door, and quickly changed the subject, "President Chu, you just arrived in Su City, you must be tired, may I arrange a hotel for you?"

"No need, Su City... was once my home. I have a place to stay."

Distant memories, yet unforgettable.

Chu Yelin’s aura turned slightly cold.

"Is that so? Then how about I help settle you in, and then we can discuss work-related matters?"

Du Qian’s voice carried a hint of flirtation, her smile sweet as she watched Chu Yelin.

Chu Yelin glanced at her and responded indifferently, "My accommodations are already arranged by someone else; no trouble is needed from Manager Du."

"I see! Then I and Manager Lin will arrange a dinner tonight to welcome you."

Enduring her dislike for Lin Qian, Du Qian pretended the solicitude of sisterhood, glancing at Lin Qian.

Since she couldn’t ascertain the purpose of Yelin’s visit this time, but she could tell he was averse to being alone with her.

Only by arranging a group dinner could she hope to close the distance with this handsome man.

"That would be nice."

Chu Yelin glanced at Lin Qian, his lips curving into a slight nod, agreeably accepting.

This reaction made Du Qian even more resentful toward Lin Qian.

How annoying, was it because she had just mentioned Lin Qian’s name that Chu Yelin agreed?

This Lin Qian was a real vixen, always managing to captivate men’s attention!
