Volume 1 Unlucky Girl 25 Chapter 25: Beautiful Female Boss

  "Director Zhong," Manager Zhao said, under Anan's intense gaze, awkwardly twisting his thick waist with exaggerated movements, turning around to face the woman sitting in the boss chair opposite him: "This is... Mr. Fang of Hongfa Foreign Trade Company, whom I mentioned to you."

  "Oh?" President Zhong stood up from his boss chair in surprise, a hint of blush appeared on his well-maintained face but disappeared immediately. He said calmly and generously: "Mr. Fang is indeed a talented person, I'm very happy to cooperate with you, but this time it's not possible. Let's be straightforward, I know you had an appointment with Manager Zhao today, it was me who didn't let him come over, sorry about that. If there's another chance, I'll definitely cooperate with Mr. Fang."

  "Will there be a next time?" Anan's two medium-sized eyes radiated intense light, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. "With a reputation like your company's, will we have a next time? Manager Zhao really ran far this time."

  "Uh..." Manager Zhao's face turned even redder, and a layer of shiny oil appeared on his white scalp. He smiled awkwardly, avoiding eye contact, and looked around restlessly.

  "Come, come, Mr. Fang, sit down!" Manager Zhong pointed to the long sofa near the window and said warmly: "Sit down and let's chat slowly, Old Zhao, pour water for Mr. Fang!"

  "We won't be fooled! Nor will we fall for your hypocritical nonsense! A clear-headed person doesn't speak ambiguously, what exactly do you mean? Are you trying to play tricks on us?" Anan said bluntly.

  "Ah...... Mr. Fang, we have our difficulties, please understand." General Zhong seemed very calm, she raised her white and tender hand to tuck a strand of loose hair behind her ear, saying: "You also know that it's not easy for us entrepreneurs. This time, due to official intervention, we had no choice but to cancel the appointment with Mr. Fang, please understand, when you're in the business world, your body is not your own."

  "If one's words are not trustworthy, then what's the point of talking about integrity? Our company's An Nan is just a small employee, yet he knows that a promise is worth a thousand gold. How can your big company be built on deceit and cheating? I'm trying to understand, but you don't have any sincerity at all, how can I understand? If I hadn't found out about this, would you still be deceiving me? Your company's way of doing things is truly hard for me to comprehend! And as for your short-sighted behavior, only looking at immediate gains without considering the long-term, I find it laughable! You should know that our company is the best in the South American market. If you only try to curry favor with officials, even if they can bring you benefits, it will only be temporary. To truly establish yourself in South America, you need us professional personnel. We have loyal customers and a mature marketing system developed over many years. Mr. Zhong, forgive me for speaking bluntly, I'm extremely disappointed in your company's behavior. As I leave, let me give you one sentence: an enterprise without integrity is like digging its own grave!"

  Anan said with a huff and turned around to leave.

  "Mr. Fang!" Manager Zhong's slender figure caught up with us quickly, blocking our way. "I know your company's influence in South America, and I really hope to cooperate with you, Mr. Fang. However, this client is someone I really can't afford to offend - he's a relative of a key department leader. All I can say is that you should understand. My enterprise has come a long way, and I sincerely hope we can work together again."

  "I've said it before, this depends on your sincerity! If you're going to treat us with this kind of attitude, we'll never cooperate!" Anan said sternly, turning around her and walking away without looking back.

  "Su Xiaomei, I'm sorry. I had thought I could help you." Anan said to me with great regret on the way back to the company.

  "No, it's not your fault, I think I'm the one who dragged you into this."

  "How could it be that you implicated me? This has nothing to do with you. Life is unpredictable, and business opportunities are the same, fleeting, no one can guarantee. I blame myself too, I was overly optimistic, not thinking things through comprehensively."

  "No, it's none of your business. I've already thanked you enough... You don't know, I'm a person who's extremely unlucky, everything I do is unlucky, I'm just a complete jinx."

  "How could you think that? ... If we're going to talk about being unlucky, it's both of us who are unlucky. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself."

  Anan finished speaking and suddenly fell silent, turning his head towards the car window. On the streets of early autumn, a few yellow leaves were rolling around, driven by the flow of cars, like rolling balls. A layer of gray dust had fallen on the shrubs and tall silver ginkgo trees by the road. It hadn't rained for a long time, and the entire city was shrouded in dust and haze, with a blurry mist between heaven and earth, as if a thin layer of eye discharge had formed in the eyes of a child who hadn't woken up yet.

  I have nothing to say. I leaned my head against the car window, trembling with the vibration of the vehicle. At this moment, I really wanted to fall asleep and dream of that ugly woman. But strangely, I didn't dream of her at all. I feel that my fate is in her hands, if I see her again, will I have a chance to make her change for the better?

  I stretched out my palm again and tried hard to figure out the lines on it.
