Chapter 119: Chapter 139: Another Promotion? _1

As Ye Wen finished packing and dragged her suitcase out, Liu Xuan was kneeling in the living room, continuously slapping himself on the cheek. Both sides of his face were already swollen like a pig’s head.

Upon seeing Ye Wen, Liu Xuan crawled over to her as if she was his last hope, pleading, "Wenwen, I was wrong, please forgive me. If this continues, I’ll die!"

Ye Wen kicked Liu Xuan, sending him tumbling to the ground. "We have nothing to do with each other now."

Lin Chen remained silent and walked away, but Gu Yuexi, who was next to him, couldn’t stand it. She ran over and fiercely kicked Liu Xuan in the crotch.

"Scumbag!"

Liu Xuan screamed and fell to the ground, curling into a ball, his body shivering in pain.

Gu Yuexi was also startled by her own actions and quickly followed Lin Chen out of the door.

Lin Chen laughed, "That was a clean and effective kick."

Gu Yuexi huffed, "This man is such a scumbag that he deserves to be a eunuch."

After cursing, Gu Yuexi grabbed Lin Chen’s arm and giggled, "Brother Chen is the best. So manly and charming!"

Lin Chen joked, "Don’t speak too soon. Maybe one day I’ll become a scumbag in your eyes too."

Gu Yuexi laughed, "Brother Chen would never be like that. Besides, even if you were a scumbag, you would definitely be the most manly and charming among them. I wouldn’t mind if you were."

Lin Chen got into the car, "Where to now?"

"First, let’s send Wenwen to a hotel. The rented apartment will take some time to get ready."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen dropped them off at the hotel, saying, "I won’t accompany you any longer. I have to go to work. If you need anything, give me a call."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes sparkled, "How about dinner together tonight?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I have plans, let’s make it another time."

In fact, Lin Chen didn’t have any plans, but he deliberately wanted to distance himself from Gu Yuexi, or else he would probably end up in bed with her tonight.

Because of Chu Jiaxue’s involvement, it would be too embarrassing. It was better to hide for now, slack off at work, and enjoy being a salted fish for a few days.

...

"Brother Chen, great news!"

Lin Chen was playing games in the office when Gao Feng entered, excitedly shouting.

Lin Chen looked up, "What, is it the commission payout?"

Gao Feng chuckled, "The salary is due in two days. The commission will be paid together with the salary."

Lin Chen laughed, "Then what’s the big news?"

Gao Feng leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Chen, reliable inside scoop, you are getting promoted again."

"Promoted?"

Lin Chen looked surprised, "Didn’t I just get promoted to Sales Team 8 Leader? Another promotion? Am I going to be Sales Department Director?"

Gao Feng laughed, "Close, hehe, deputy director."

Lin Chen exhaled in relief. Being deputy director was fine; it was just a slightly bigger salted fish with a slightly larger and more comfortable space to lie in.

Being a deputy meant not having responsibility and simply idling away the days, right?

As long as he idled fast enough, neither responsibility nor trouble could catch up with him. After all, he didn’t expect to get promoted anyway.

It was only three months. What difference did it make what position he held?

"When will it happen?"

Gao Feng answered, "The appointment should come in the next few days."

Lin Chen nodded, "Who will take over as Team 8 leader then?"

Gao Feng laughed, "There aren’t many people in Team 8, as it’s a newly expanded sales team. I heard you’ll be doing double duty."

Lin Chen responded casually, "I’m just a lazy person trying to get through the days. If I really have to take on two roles, then you’ll have to help me manage Team 8’s affairs."

Gao Feng gladly thanked him, "Thanks so much, Brother Chen!"

Lin Chen laughed, "What are you thanking me for? You won’t be getting the team leader’s salary for helping me with the team leader’s work. You’re working for free!"

Gao Feng laughed, "You’re joking, Brother Chen. You’ve given me so many orders before, and I didn’t know how to repay you. I’m more than happy to help you and even practice my skills in the process. Other people couldn’t even compete for this opportunity if they tried."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Just do your best, and later on I’ll speak to General Manager Chu about giving you a promotion."

Lin Chen wasn’t fooling Gao Feng — he acknowledged that although Gao Feng was young, he was quite capable. He would have no problem serving as a team leader.

Ever since Chu Jiaxue confirmed the Qian family would be eliminated from the competition and that Jinhui Investment would fully support Lin Chen without interfering in the company’s operations, she began preparing for a massive shake-up.

She planned to remove many of the high-level executives who held positions without putting in the work. They were all connected to shareholders like Qian Bueyi, Wang Wei, and He Bin in various ways. It was because of their presence that the company was like a mud pit, trapping people and making it difficult to move forward.

Only by eliminating these disloyal parasites and replacing them with a younger and more driven management team could Chu Jiaxue lead everyone to advance.

The fact that she was making him deputy director might also have something to do with this shake-up.

Sales Department Director Dong Yunjiang was Qian Bueyi’s man, and his impending retirement meant he would inevitably be removed.

Thinking about it, Lin Chen suddenly became worried.

Would Chu Jiaxue want him to be deputy director first, and then after a while, naturally and seamlessly promote him to Sales Department Director?
