Liu Ruyan noticed Manager Li's grim expression.
Then, noticing his gaze fixed on her raised stainless steel thermos,
she quickly put it down.
"Manager, let me explain."
"This Qin Feng was my college classmate, and he was also my admirer."
"But that's not the point. The point is—"
"He's so broke he's had to take out a loan, and he can't pay it back!"
"He even called me to collect the loan!"
"So, Manager Li, he was definitely lying about discussing a project with you."
"How could he possibly have the money to discuss a project?! He's already lucky to have enough to eat."
She was about to add, "He must have come to our company under the guise of discussing a project just to get close to me." '
However, thinking that if she said that, Manager Li might vent his anger on her while kicking Qin Feng out,
she stopped herself and said, "I'm afraid he'll defraud our company and cause losses, so I kept him out."
"And I told him to leave and not try to defraud our company, but he's so shameless. No matter what I said, he refused to leave."
"He's like a fly."
Finally, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and added.
Hearing this,
Manager Li frowned.
He had already been suspicious of Qin Feng.
After all, he had never heard of such a person before...and anyone who could afford over 200 villas must be someone famous.
Now, after Liu Ruyan's words, his suspicions of Qin Feng were even stronger. Seeing Manager Li's expression, Liu Ruyan thought Manager Li didn't believe she was driving Qin Feng out to protect the company's interests, so she quickly defended herself:
"Manager Li, although I'm only a receptionist now, I was specially recruited by Manager Wang."
"Manager Wang told me that since I haven't graduated yet, he's letting me work as a receptionist first. Once I graduate, he'll immediately make me a full-time employee and transfer me to his secretary!"
"So when I meet someone as awful as Qin Feng, my first priority is to protect the company's interests."
"I'm definitely prioritizing the company's interests. I drove Qin Feng out because I was truly afraid of harming the company!"
Qin Feng couldn't bear it any longer.
He snorted coldly.
"For the company's benefit?"
"Haha, Manager Li, I see you have quite a few surveillance cameras in your lobby. Isn't there one at the front desk?"
"Your surveillance cameras should have audio capabilities. Manager Li, listen to the specific conversation and you'll understand."
"Your receptionist is completely delusional, imagining I came here just to be close to her."
"And now you have the audacity to claim it's for the company's benefit."
"Also,"
"There's a Mercedes-Benz S with license plate number 467 parked outside your company."
"Here are my car keys. If you're worried, have someone check the license plate inside to see if it's mine."
"The license plate is in the passenger compartment."
"I can afford a car worth over a million yuan. Am I the type of person your receptionist claims I am?"
"Besides, even if I were to lie, what could I possibly be deceiving your company about?"
"If we really were to sign a contract, it would have been drafted by you."
"Your construction progress is based on the project funds, with each payment being made at a specific time."
"So, what could I possibly be deceiving your company about?!" He then said seriously, "Manager Li, I come here with sincerity. If you don't trust me and don't want my business, then I'll find another company."
"There are more construction companies in our province than just yours. You're just one of the top ten. I simply chose you because it's close by."
If Manager Li had said anything a bit more, Qin Feng would have turned and walked away.
He didn't bother to argue with him any further.
He'd already said everything he needed to say.
He'd even handed Manager Li the car keys, allowing him to check if it was his.
As he'd said, he chose Koch Construction because it was close by.
Of the top ten construction companies in their province, only Koch was based in their city.
Those other companies also had branches in their city, but since he could go directly to Koch's headquarters, Qin Feng's first choice would undoubtedly be Koch Construction.
But Koch Construction wasn't a must-go. "Mr. Qin, there's a problem with our receptionist. Don't let her influence you. I'll deal with her later."
"Let's go upstairs and talk."
Almost the moment Qin Feng finished speaking,
Manager Li had already made up his mind.
Qin Feng handed over the car keys with a half-smile:
"Really not checking them?"
"Or maybe checking my savings to verify my capital?"
Manager Li immediately laughed:
"Haha, Mr. Qin is quite amusing."
"Our company is open to customers, not a casino or anything like that. We don't have a precedent for pre-assessment."
With that, he reopened the gate, which had automatically closed.
Although he still had some doubts about Qin Feng's claim of at least two hundred more villas to come, he no longer had any doubts about the one Qin Feng was currently working on.
Qin Feng was right; he had nothing to fear.
The contract was drawn up by them,
and the project payment wasn't going to be settled at the end, but rather in installments.
At most, they might not be able to collect the final payment, but their company was still guaranteed to make a profit.
Qin Feng nodded. Manager Li's attitude was resolute, and he felt they could continue discussing cooperation.
So he put the keys away and
passed through the gate.
But then,
Liu Ruyan wasn't happy!
In fact, she still hadn't quite grasped the situation.
What was going on? Qin Feng actually had a Mercedes-Benz S worth over a million yuan?
Did he really come to the company to discuss cooperation with Manager Li?!
He really wasn't here to get close to her?!
What was going on?!
Isn't Qin Feng a broke loser who can't even pay back his loans?!
Even if he wasn't a broke loser who couldn't pay back his loans, it wasn't clear he could afford a Mercedes-Benz S before.
What was going on now?!
Liu Ruyan's mind was spinning, she couldn't quite wrap her head around it.
But when she saw Qin Feng about to go through the gate, she subconsciously objected:
"No!"
"Manager Li, this isn't right!"
Manager Li was getting impatient.
What do you think?!"
Liu Ruyan was already panicking, her words flowing without a second thought:
"It's fake!"
"What Qin Feng said must be fake!"
"Manager, let me check the car's license to see if it's his!"
She reached out to Qin Feng for the car keys.
Manager Li was completely furious:
"You're going on and on, aren't you?!"
"Go to HR and complete your resignation procedures!"
Liu Ruyan hurriedly shook her head:
"Manager Li, believe me, I'm really worried about the company's interests being harmed."
"Manager Wang hired me specifically, and Manager Wang even told me I'd be his secretary."
"So I'm sure..."
Manager Li interrupted impatiently:
"Which Manager Wang?"
There were two Manager Wangs in the company.
"Manager Wang Zhipeng."
Manager Li scolded:
"If he has any complaints, let him come to me!" "
"Just go and complete your resignation procedures yourself, otherwise you'll be fired!"
"One is voluntarily resigning, the other is being fired during your internship... You should know which is more serious!"
With that, he simply ignored her.
He gestured to Qin Feng, and the two of them headed for the elevator.
As for the Manager Wang Liu Ruyan mentioned, he didn't take him seriously at all.
Although they were both managers, there were differences between managers. Manager Wang was merely a department manager, while Manager Li was the general manager of headquarters.
And Manager Wang wouldn't dare to have a problem with him over such a woman.
He knew exactly what Manager Wang was up to.
Because she hadn't graduated yet, she could only be assigned to the front desk internship, and she could only be transferred after graduation...this was all a lie.
Their company had college interns every year, so it wasn't like what Liu Ruyan had said.
What Manager Wang had said to Liu Ruyan was just a lie.
First, he'd make her the receptionist, promising her a transfer.
She would indeed be transferred later, and even after she was transferred to secretary, Manager Wang would continue to promise her new positions...
He'd slowly reward Liu Ruyan with benefits while constantly promising her new ones...
As she got more and more "pie in the sky," Liu Ruyan's greed would grow, and eventually, to get a piece of that pie, she'd throw herself into Manager Wang's arms.
While Manager Li hadn't done this before, he was well aware of it; construction companies like theirs were prone to it.
Watching Manager Li and Qin Feng enter the elevator,
Liu Ruyan was stunned.
After a moment's pause, she quickly called her patron, Manager Wang.
