Chapter 21: Want to leave? It's not that easy

  Qiao Ran suddenly heard the sound and turned his head to see such a scene.

  She walked with her head down, wearing a T-shirt that he had deliberately handed to her, which was loose on her body and occasionally revealed... hmm~ her good figure. She wasn't tall but made up for it with her straight legs that lengthened her curves, swaying gently as she walked into the living room, giving me a feeling of tender affection. I couldn't help but gaze at her, covering my mouth with my hand and smiling lightly.

  Don't know where to put your hands and feet, in an extremely awkward state.

  Qiao Ran smiled and looked over in the direction of the sound.

  Wow, it's really a unique style, wearing home clothes has a different flavor, and the beast is still very capital.

  Qiao Ran extinguished the cigarette, closed the balcony door, walked to the sofa and turned on the air conditioner with the remote control, then went to the kitchen to fetch two cups of water. Only after doing all this did he finally sit down on the sofa. He patted the spot beside him, indicating for An Xin to sit down.

  She moistened her lips, which had been whitened by the steam, and ran to sit down on the sofa opposite Qiao Ran. She wasn't so stupid as to put herself in a tiger's den (#‵′）凸. Moreover, who knows what kind of immoral things Qiao Ran might do? It was not safe. Should she set 110 as a shortcut key now? In case something happened later, it would be easier to call the police.

  "What did you gain from staying in the company for a few days?" Qiao Ran's beautifully lined lips opened, his eyes locked onto hers across from him.

  Huh? Changing the subject, what's going on?

  "It can be said to be big or small." Take it one step at a time.

  Qiao Ran listened to her ambiguous words, and after a pause, he opened his mouth again. "Do you think that you can't get enough training in Xin Hua? Or is your current position not suitable for you? Just say it directly, don't be vague, I'll understand."

  Don't be too surprised, but when did Jiao ever have the leisure to discuss work with herself? However, speaking of serious matters, she really has a lot of grievances to vent about. Suddenly, an idea struck her, "Ah, you want me to say it? Then don't blame me. Honestly speaking, the company's system is not sound, mainly because there's no way to demonstrate one's abilities due to lack of trust, and the suppression from superiors to subordinates is really obvious."

  Qiao Ran furrowed his brow and began to think seriously, stroking his chin as he continued, "For example?"

  She's so pleased with herself, ah, this move to lure him into a trap is just perfect, she wants Jiao Ran to say that so she can smoothly continue, otherwise it would be too bad if she directly attacked someone, O (∩_∩) O She's such a kind and good girl.

  "With legs crossed on the sofa, I started to complain, 'Just like Director Li, I've been in the company for so many days and all he wants me to do is fill out forms, completely no constructive progress at all. This is the sales department, if they don't let me do any sales work, what's the point of staying in that department?'"

  "What about other colleagues getting along with him? How do they evaluate Director Li?"

  "As far as I know, Manager Li is the kind of person who brings his emotions to work, and when he's in a bad mood, it affects the whole department's morale, making everyone's work efficiency drop." Hmph, you think you can scold me today? Just wait, I'll report you and make sure you pay for it.

  Relax, very happy, continue to dance with joy, the more you talk, the higher you get, then put your left foot on your right foot, and with a bent finger, say "You say that one person's work style has problems, how can they lead their subordinates well, right, General Manager?"

  Qiao Ran picked up a cup of water from the table and walked over to her side, stretching out his slender hand to pass it to her.

  "Thank you, General Manager." Just right, he was also anxious and his mouth was dry, so he gulped down half of the water in the cup.

  Qiao took the cup she had just drunk from and sat down beside her, his expression unchanged as he said, "As your counselor and the company's general manager, I think it's necessary for me to give you some advice on your life path."

  Don't worry, I don't feel any sense of crisis at all. "Hmm, Director Qiao is a successful person in his career, and your experience is very valuable to me. You don't have to be reserved, just say whatever you want to say, I like listening to the truth."

  Anxious mom taught her from a young age that when you can get close, you should get close, and when given a ladder, you should climb up the tree. This is how one can take shortcuts in life. With this belief, Anxious's past decade or so has been smooth sailing (of course, this is just her own thinking). Except for encountering this particular counselor, but now it seems like she's facing challenges head-on and will be able to overcome them.

  Qiao Ran's smile at the corner of his mouth was hidden in the shadows, and didn't attract An Xin's attention. He put the cup on the table, his cunning eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice to say, "Your profession actually has nothing to do with sales, and this position can't bring out your talents or make use of what you've learned."

  Her eyes lit up, and Qiao Nian's insight was still sharp. She had also thought of this, that if she could find a more suitable position within the company, wouldn't her chances of staying on after graduation be even higher? Wouldn't she get more votes then?

  She thought she was very clever, carefully swept a glance at Qiao Ran, then deliberated for over ten seconds, very seriously and solemnly put down her crossed legs, turned her head to look at him expectantly, "Director Qiao, as your student, I actually need your promotion. My current position is not suitable for me, so I hope you can transfer me to a more suitable position."

  The fish has taken the bait!

  A charming and evil smile, sharp eyebrows and eyes, the gentle atmosphere that had just disappeared, an invisible strong pressure came on, turned around and stared at her with four eyes, "Why should I transfer you?"

  He was so scared that his butt moved back two inches, and he stuttered, "Uh... uh... Manager, didn't you just say that my position isn't suitable for me?"

  Come on, just now you asked me to speak the truth, okay, I spoke the truth, all I wanted was for you to help me transfer jobs, why are you making such a scary face, this dark atmosphere is unbearable.

  Someone's fearful appearance fell into his eyes, especially pleasing to the eye, paired with this moment's attire, more than before, "I just said it wasn't suitable, did I say I'd help you? You're a newcomer, where do you get so many demands, let alone having the capital for it?" Qiao Ran sank into the sofa, making An Xin feel like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

  "That's going too far! Are you playing me?" An Xin Song didn't dare to get angry.

  He's really infuriating, luring her to his apartment and then tempting her, waiting to see if she'll take the bait. And when she does, he just dumps her! His calm face is full of anger, how can one tolerate this?!

  "A person must be trustworthy!"

  "In the eyes of a businessman, profit is everything. Moreover, I didn't sign any written agreement to guarantee your transfer, so there's no legal binding effect. Do you think I have such an obligation?" Qiao Ran's eyes were cold and indifferent.

  With a furious and resentful heart, clenching fists and eyes gleaming with ferocity, he violently snatched the bag on the table and was about to storm out.

  "Hmph, forcing me? Fine! I'd rather die than be caught, I'm leaving!"

  Qiao Ran saw this, the arc of his mouth curved even bigger, he flipped over, and his legs pressed down on An Xin's legs that were about to get up, his movements as agile and swift as a leopard, not giving An Xin any chance to react, his hands also grasped her arms.

  Digression

  Hehehe~ What's next? (*^__^*)

  Qiao Ran gave the author a sideways glance: You're blocking me here, how am I supposed to act?
