Chapter 47: The Goal of a Lifetime Struggle

  "Yes, Director Duan"

  Qiao Jiaxi obediently got on the car, his heart racing with excitement

  "You seem to be afraid of me" Duan Ruiqi said with a sly smile

  Qiao Jiaxi regretfully said: "I was just a bit nervous when facing my superior"

  "I came to take a look at your summer clothing design today." Duan Ruiqi casually glanced at Qiao Jiaxi's large bag, and a head popped out of the bag, catching his attention. He took it out and flipped through it, furrowing his brow and asking: "Is this the design plan sent by Director Liu?"

  Qiao Jiaxi shook his head and said: "It's Hong Wei's sister who gave me a design concept for reference, and it has been helpful to my design."

  Duan Ruiqi carefully examined Qiao Jiaxi for a moment, confirming that the girl was not lying, and still smiled: "Qiao Jiaxi, I remind you of the most important point, summer clothes are all mainly white. You just need to remember this point, as for this reference material, you don't need to look at it anymore." After finishing speaking, he threw the data book out of the car.

  "Ah" Qiao Jiaxi reluctantly took a glance at the fleeting street scene, thinking it was impossible to retrieve, and said with some embarrassment: "But I've always used that reference as the main design framework, now it's all in vain."

  "It can't be said like that, only then can your efforts be tested. I still have high hopes for you, Jiao Ji Xi. Also, remember not to reveal today's events to anyone."

  "Ah" Qiao Jiaxi could only swallow his words and obey orders.

  "You've arrived home, take your time to design carefully, I'm looking forward to your masterpiece." To avoid suspicion, Duan Ruiqi didn't get off the car to send Qiao Jiaxi.

  Qiao Jiaxi watched as Duan Ruiqi's car drove away, silently telling him in her heart: "For you, I will also work hard to design outstanding works, just to see the warm sunshine that belongs only to me."

  "Hey, how's this moisturizer? Is it anti-allergic?" asked a chubby female customer while looking at the moisturizer and asking Lin Aier who was sitting next to her.

  Lin Ai'er raised her eyes and glanced at the female customer with a look of annoyance, saying: "There's an instruction manual up there, go take a look yourself."

  "What's your attitude? Are you the salesperson here?" The female customer put down the moisturizer, deliberately speaking loudly to show her divine authority.

  "You're not illiterate, are you? You don't have the right to order me around just because of your obese appearance. How dare you come out and buy cosmetics? Your face is so ugly that it's scary. Are you trying to make a fool of yourself by putting on makeup?"

  "What's your name? I'm going to find the manager of this mall to complain about you!" The female customer, who had been insulted by Lin Aier, had her face turn beet red with anger. What made her even angrier was that she had been directly hit on her weaknesses, and she knew she wasn't good at arguing back, so she could only clench her fists and look around frantically for the manager.

  "Suit yourself, anyway I don't want to work anymore." Lin Aier was secretly hoping that the mall would clear out her and Zhuo Mei's counter. She had even thought it through - no matter which mall the company transferred her to, she vowed to offend every single one of them, making all the malls clear out her and Zhuo Mei's counter, until An Qi'er was furious to death.

  "I'm really sorry, miss customer. I am the manager of this cosmetics store. I saw you trying to return a product that has been opened and used. Our store policy clearly states that we do not accept returns for products that have been opened or used. I understand that you may be dissatisfied with the product, but I hope you can understand our position. If you would like, I can offer you a discount on your next purchase or recommend a different product that might better suit your needs."

  "Are you Zhuo Mei's manager?" The female customer asked in surprise as she took over the suit.

  An Qi'er raised his head and smiled: "Yes, this is all because of my mismanagement. I will punish the employee and please forgive me."

  "Hey, An surname, you're quite arrogant!" Lin Aier said, unwilling to back down and wanting to go teach him a lesson.

  An Qi'er gave Lin Ai'er a fierce stare, her tone still gentle and soft but with an overbearing attitude, "Shut up for me, stand there and wait honestly"

  Lin Aier wanted to resist, but she felt her throat was being gripped by an invisible hand and couldn't make a sound. She stood stiffly in place, unmoving. An Qi'er, on the other hand, faced the female customer with a gentle smile, leaving no room for complaint, and happily replied that she would continue to support Zhuo Mei products. As she walked past Lin Aier, she deliberately gave her a cold hum before leaving with a pleased expression.

  "What do you mean, anyway? You're only frowning and being cold to me, is it because you don't like the look of me? If so, then hurry up and fire me!" Lin Aier finally regained some composure after a while, and said with a trembling voice.

  An Qi'er waved her hand at her and ordered: "You come over here"

  Lin Aier cursed herself for listening and standing up, asking in a bad mood: "What do you want to do? I'll tell you, I may not lose to you in a fight, and the security guard over there is on my side." Her eyes glanced back at An Qier with a hint of provocation.

  "So you're planning to offer yourself to that security guard in exchange for his brutal beating of me?" An Qi'er said coldly, her eyes radiating mockery towards Lin Ai'er.

  "What exactly do you mean?" Lin Aier shouted furiously.

  An Qi'er still spoke in a gentle tone, coldly saying: "It doesn't mean anything, it's just following your thoughts to help you analyze the situation that will happen later."

  "An Qi'er, don't even say it, I just saw you fawning over the customer like a sycophantic lapdog, it's really worth recording and showing to the whole company how the almighty An Zong is bootlicking strangers." Lin Ai'er sarcastically said.

  An Qi'er smiled coldly, but also with disappointment. "Lin Ai'er, you didn't put your heart into this job. I actually hope you recorded the part where I nodded and bowed to the customer earlier and show it to everyone in the company, so they can learn how to take their work seriously. You should know that sales is the most important area of a company's operations, it's the core strength of the entire company."

  Lin Aier was shocked by An Qier's righteous words, but she didn't admit her own ignorance. She still stubbornly retorted: "An Qier, stop spouting that nonsense to me! I'm here to work, not to be a yes-man!"

  "Linyi, your job is a sales representative, you are the face of the company, and you need to provide the best service to customers. If this customer is driven away by you today, her negative word-of-mouth will spread quickly, causing the sales volume of your counter to plummet. If all sales representatives work like you, the company's sales volume will continue to decline, making it easy for competitors to surpass us and gain an advantage."

  Lin Aier's face turned uglier as she listened on, and now she was a little afraid of An Qier. Such strong work enthusiasm, Lin Aier hadn't seen it with her own eyes for a long time. Today, on An Qier's body, she discovered the aura of passionate work surrounding him, which made her feel fearful.

  "Heavens, An Qi'er, must you be so desperate? After all, she's just a woman and will eventually marry someone anyway." Lin Ai'er revealed her true thoughts for the first time without any ulterior motives.

  An Qi'er shook her head in disappointment at Lin Ai'er, "Perhaps you haven't experienced the hardships I've faced, so you won't understand why I'm so desperate to work hard. However, since we're all career women, please take our current identity seriously. If you just want to marry a man, you should study how to marry a rich man, rather than lacking men and not even letting go of that young security guard who's just come of age."

  "An Qi'er, I didn't seduce him, he's the one who's shameless!" Lin Ai'er was poked at her weak point and got angry, speaking without reserve.

  "I'm just telling the truth, and I know you're a woman with high aspirations who doesn't settle for mediocrity. That's why I've kept you on, hoping you can dig out your own career goals worth fighting for all your life. Think about it carefully, I also started from the lowest level as a salesperson, service is the most important survival way for a company." An Qi'er didn't say more and turned to leave elegantly.

  Lin Ai'er, however, looked very dull and stared at An Qi'er's back as she walked further and further away. She was carefully pondering the words An Qi'er had just spoken...

  "Duan Gege, you still refuse to agree to my job transfer?" Ledi knew it would be like this, but she still had an unresigned heart and wanted to try.

  "Letty, you've taken the director's seat in the administrative department. Your administrative abilities are clear to everyone in the company. Why waste your talents by becoming my personal secretary? That would be a waste of your abilities."

  Duan Ruiqi really couldn't see through what was going on in this girl's head, and looking at Lettie's red eyes, it seemed like she was about to cry. He hurriedly continued to comfort her: "Lettie, you have to understand that everything I'm doing is for your own good. Your work ability is indeed top-notch in the company, and everyone can see that. Moreover, I intentionally want to promote you as the CEO of another subsidiary company. You need to understand that the path I'm pointing out for you isn't some flower vase style, but rather a practical and down-to-earth one. This will have great space for your future development, and of course, it will also be beneficial for your future marriage."

  Le Di couldn't help but burst into tears, only in front of Duan Rui Qi would Le Di reveal her gentle and soft side. Hurriedly, Duan Rui Qi patted Le Di's shoulder, "Le Di, don't cry, I'm doing all this for your own good."

  Letti barely held back her sobs, and the sound of her crying grew louder. She choked out: "Duan Gege, I...I didn't mean to be disobedient to you, I just...I...Wuuu...Wuuu..."

  Looking at Letty covering her face and crying, Duan Ruiqi was annoyed by her crying and impatiently shouted: "Okay, okay! If you like being a secretary, then be one. Everything is up to you!"
