Chapter 43: Children of Jianghu

  "Knock knock knock!"

  Early in the morning, Wu Tian arrived at Xiao Lan's rental district and knocked heavily on the door. After receiving a text message from Xiao Lan early in the morning, he jumped out of bed, washed up simply, and left home under Chen Chen's curious gaze, driving his Beetle to get here, he was eager to see the signed agreement.

  "Crack!"

  The door opened and Xiao Lan, wearing a pink semi-transparent nightgown, glanced at Wu Tian before turning back into the room. Judging from her drowsy appearance, it seemed she hadn't slept well last night.

  Wu Tian closed the door and came to Xiaolan's room. Looking at Xiaolan lying on the bed again, he asked, "How was it last night?"

  "Aren't you wearing wireless earphones?" said Xiaolan, muttering to herself with her eyes closed.

  "After you all went upstairs, I turned off the hearing device," said Wu Tian.

  "Oh!" Xiao Lan responded with a sigh, took a deep breath, and said tiredly, "That old pervert, he messed me up till midnight, and this morning when I woke up, he wanted it again. I didn't even get to sleep well. The contract has already been signed, in that bag you used as a prop for the scene." As she spoke, Xiao Lan stretched out her hand from under the covers and pointed at the dresser.

  Wu Tian saw the bag on the dresser and immediately opened it, taking out the documents to flip through them. Sure enough, there were detailed signatures on them.

  "Ha! Got it!" Wu Tian clenched his fist tightly, feeling exceptionally excited. This was his first big win since joining the business department, although it took a lot of time, manpower and financial resources, but it wasn't in vain. The most important thing was that he no longer felt like he was completely clueless about business like before. Although he didn't go out to entertain clients or make concessions, he had found another way. And from now on, he could continue to develop his business skills through this new path, constantly conquering and expanding, believing that it wouldn't take long for him to stand out in the business group.

  Wu Tian took out a red envelope and a bottle of perfume from his pocket, placed them on Xiao Lan's bed, and said, "This is the 1,000 yuan we agreed on earlier, take it. I also gave you that OL suit, and this bottle of Chanel perfume, as a reward for completing your task."

  "Really?" Xiao Lan suddenly threw off the covers, sat up in bed, her sleepy face gone, and looked at Wu Tian with excitement. When she saw the red envelope and perfume on the bed, she immediately pounced on them, picked up the perfume bottle, and kept kissing it. It was clear that she really liked it, and even the 1,000 yuan red envelope couldn't compare to the perfume.

  She's indeed a high-quality person! Although she came out to sell for the sake of money, she didn't take money too seriously. This attitude is also why Wu Tian rewarded her, because he found that this woman named Xiao Lan was really pleasant and suited his taste.

  "In the future, you'll still need to be in contact with him, once a month. I'll give you a red envelope and you'll pass it on to him. Each time you meet, I'll pay you 1,000 yuan. As for your interactions during the rest of the time, that's not within my scope of responsibility. Of course, if you have the ability, you can get money from him. Don't underestimate that lecher, just receiving red envelopes every month is at least tens of thousands of yuan." Wu Tian said.

  "I know." Xiaolan opened the perfume, took a deep breath, savored it for a long time, and then opened her eyes to look at Wu Tian, saying, "Is there any other job like this? If so, you can come find me anytime in the future."

  "It's worth it." Wu Tian said after hearing this, he had invested a lot in Xiaolan, teaching her so many things, just for the sake of being useful in the future.

  "The necklace, bracelet, brooch and that suit are all in the bag. Check them out, if everything is fine, you can go first, I want to hug it and sleep, I will definitely have a good dream." Xiaolan hugged the perfume tightly to her chest, got back into bed with a sweet smile on her face.

  "Wishing you a good dream!" Wu Tian said to Xiao Lan, who was carrying her bag and left the house without checking. He still didn't know Xiao Lan's real name until now, but this didn't affect his trust in her. They were all children of the rivers and lakes, not asking for names or origins!

  "Thank you for your patronage, welcome next time."

  Wu Tian carried his bag downstairs, drove the Beetle back home, returned all the things he borrowed from Chen Chen, and then happily went to work.

  Because he went to Xiaolan's place, today inevitably late again, this is his third consecutive day of being late. Of course, it was also the third consecutive day that he saw Wang Zhihao standing in the corridor of the business department, staring at him fiercely.

  "Wu Tian!" Wang Zhi Gao's face twisted in anger as he bellowed at Wu Tian, "Do you still consider yourself a member of the business department? Do you have any regard for company rules? Is your team leader even in your eyes...?"

  "Bang!"

  Before Wang Zhi Gao finished speaking, Wu Tian slapped the agreement hard on his opponent's face.

  "Shut up and watch yourself!"

  Wang Zhi Gao's whole body shook, and although the file was just a few sheets of paper, it still stung his face! He had wanted to explode, but after hearing Wu Tian's words, he restrained himself again. First, he glared fiercely at Wu Tian, then his gaze fell on the file.

  Huh?

  Secondary hospital? Did you really turn business into a discussion?

  Wang Zhi Gao couldn't believe it, the other party had only been in the business department for a few days and had already taken down the pharmacy of a secondary hospital? Afraid that he himself was mistaken, Wang Zhi Gao re-examined it again, the agreement indeed belonged to the business group, and the signature on top was also correct.

  "See that?" Wu Tian snatched the file from Wang Zhi's hand and waved it in front of his stunned eyes, laughing as he said, "This is the client who keeps looking for me. Now that I've got it back, what else can you say?"

  Wang Zhi Gao looked at Wu Tian with a suspicious gaze and questioned, "Was it really you who did it?"

  "Of course it's not me, but also An Qing." Wu Tian grinned, showing his teeth in a smile, and turned to walk back to his own office desk amidst the other person's stunned expression.

  An Qing is a good kid, never late. She has been anxiously waiting for Wu Tian since she started work, with her hands clasped together in front of her chest, praying non-stop that Wu Tian's plan would succeed. Now seeing Wu Tian finally arrive and hearing the conversation between him and Wang Zhi Gao, she excitedly stood up and looked at Wu Tian expectantly, asking "Was what you said earlier true?"

  "Haha, of course!" Wu Tian said with a smile, today can be said to be the happiest day since he left the R&D department, with a feeling of relief and relaxation.

  "Really settled?" An Qing asked again.

  Wu Tian handed the file to the other party, An Qing's hands trembled as she took it, and after flipping through it all, she cried with joy, her eyes red, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes. As she wiped her eyes with one hand, she choked out, "So happy...!"

  Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh at this, this little girl was not only timid, but also loved to cry.

  He stretched out his palm, towards An Qing, smiling at each other. An Qing looked at Wu Tian's palm and seemed to understand something, she also stretched out her hands and palms, hitting Wu Tian's palm.

  "Yes!"

  Seeing Wu Tian and An Qing celebrating, the others in the office looked at them with a gaze of looking at monsters. Isn't it just taking down a second-level hospital? What's so great about that? This kind of small hospital is all over Beijing, if they took down a third-level A-grade big hospital, then there would be something to celebrate.

  "You're really amazing." An Qing looked at Wu Tian with a face full of admiration and envy, "Just arrived in the business department for a few days, and already took down a second-tier hospital. Unlike me, I can't do anything."

  "What nonsense!" Wu Tian patted An Qing's little head and said, "This bill was originally yours, quickly write your own name on it." The children of the rivers and lakes value a word of righteousness!

  "Ah?" An Qing was slightly stunned, then her head shook back and forth like a rattle drum, saying "This is yours, not mine!"

  "Don't forget, I learned business from you, you are my master."

  "But it's your idea!"

  "If it weren't for your previous venture into the tiger's den, I wouldn't have thought of this method, let alone gotten this deal. So, it's yours." Wu Tian put the file on An Qing's desk, this thing was no longer useful to him.

  "No way, I won't accept it." An Qing looked at Wu Tian seriously, her attitude unusually firm.

  Wu Tian held the file in his hand, making a tearing motion, and said to An Qing, "If you don't want it, then I'll tear it up."

  "Wait...!" An Qing hastily grabbed Wu Tian's hand to stop him. Although she was his master for the past two days, she was also his follower and had witnessed his various tactics, so she also believed that he would really tear up the contract. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about we both sign our names on it?"

  "That's okay." Upon hearing An Qing's suggestion, Wu Tian did not refuse this time. The reason was simple: if he insisted on writing only An Qing's name, he might hurt her self-esteem and think that he pitied her for doing so. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and it wouldn't make a difference this one time.

  Upon hearing Wu Tian's response, An Qing finally smiled. She took the pen and carefully wrote her name on the contract, just like a primary school student writing their name for the first time. Then she handed the pen to Wu Tian. With a flourish of his hand, he wrote two characters after An Qing's name: Wu Tian.
