Rage

  At 5:30 that evening, after settling the bill, everyone gathered in the conference room again.

  Lin Qiang's eyes were already filled with bloodshot, his expression dazed. On this day, every time he wanted to rest, there would be a damn guy coming to knock on the door, asking some insipid questions. Fortunately, he still had the foundation of staying up all night from his university days, and not sleeping for two days wouldn't make him collapse. When facing the six heavyweight clients who came today, he maintained clear logic and didn't have too much impact on sales.

  Lin Qiang's appearance was a sight to behold, and everyone felt a pang in their hearts. Xiao Xiao looked at his dazed eyes and almost cried herself.

  "This... is too much..." Xiao Xiao rubbed her eyes and scolded, "Qiang Ge, don't come tonight, we'll help you keep watch."

  "No way, that would cause problems for tomorrow's business." Lin Qiang weakly waved his hand. "Xiao Xiao, you've been a cashier for so long, you know best how easy it is to make mistakes when you're tired and watching the counter. Now is the time for checking, Hao Wei is not here, I'm fully responsible. Even if our accounts have a discrepancy of one cent, they will seize on it."

  "But...if things go on like this..." Xiao Xiao gritted his teeth, both angry and sympathetic, "You'll exhaust yourself to death at this rate!"

  "I'll make the most of every minute to slack off." Lin Qiang tapped his own head, and smiled with a grin, "Today, I slept for two hours on and off, that's enough."

  "Don't be stubborn."

  "It's not being stubborn, it's being genuinely tough."

  “……”

  On the other hand, Zheng Shuai has already settled the bill.

  "12.85 million, not bad!" Zheng Shuai was also exhausted that day, he took over all of Lin Qiang's work, "Lin Qiang's clients brought in 8 million, my parents' colleagues contributed 4.1 million, the rest is from Xiao Xiao and Lin Xiao's sales."

  "Finally some good news." Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh, "This way, there's over 30 million now, almost one-third is done..."

  "Don't be too happy yet." Lin Qiang shook his head, "My best and most loyal clients have already come, those who can be invited later are not as trusting of me."

  "It's the same here..." Zheng Shuai sighed, "4.1 million, this is my limit, I've said a lot of good things to those uncles and aunts."

  Lin Xiaozi stood silently on the side, almost in tears: "Sorry... boss... I'm so useless, only made two deals today, a total of 2 million yuan... I couldn't convince Zhou Ren's friends... and even contributed less than Xiaoxiao sister..."

  "Don't say that, it's already very good." Lin Qiang smiled and encouraged, "As a newcomer, being able to make several hundred thousand in a month is already outstanding."

  "But... still a long way from 100 million..." Lin Xiaozi finally couldn't hold it in and burst into tears, "Waaahhh... still so far away..."

  "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Xiao Xiao saw Lin Xiaozao cry, and his own eyes were a bit sour. "What's there to cry about? There are still 12 days left, two-thirds of the time is left, don't worry it won't be finished!"

  "I'll work hard, boss," Lin Xiao said with a clenched fist. "We must, absolutely, definitely get through this together."

  Zheng Shuai leaned in close to Lin Qiang and frowned, saying: "Do you want to mobilize some social connections?"

  "What does it mean? You have connections and you didn't say so earlier!" Xiao Xiao asked in surprise.

  "No, not what you think it means." Zheng Shuai's face was stern, and he said in a low voice, "In society, there are some individuals and institutions that specialize in helping our bank employees or insurance salespeople complete their performance targets, but afterwards, they have to give them huge commissions."

  "What's the huge amount? How much is it?"

  "Businesses are different." Zheng Shuai said quietly, "For credit cards, the reward from the bank is 50 yuan per card. If we entrust those people to bring in credit card applications, each one must be given at least 40 yuan. Financial management business is even more troublesome, with commissions roughly equivalent to 2-10 times the internal rewards."

  "Tenfold?!!"

  Zheng Shuai nodded seriously: "Yes, it's not easy to pull in that much money. Credit cards are easy to deal with, just find a construction site and bring over a group of migrant workers to handle it. But actual financial business requires real money, and as sales personnel, they only seek out these clients when faced with the crisis of being eliminated."

  "Assuming the reward commission for this 100 million is 0.5%... that's 5 million." Xiao Xiao calculated it silently, furrowed his brow and asked, "In other words... to get them to complete the performance, we need to give them over 10 million."

  "Absolutely not just 1 million, such a large sum of money, the other party will definitely open their mouth wide like a lion, it's probably even more terrifying than usury."

  "Uh, absolutely not." Lin Qiang also didn't let Zheng Shuai continue, "Finding those organizations to complete the task completely reverses our original intention. Moreover, if this matter is discovered by the company, I'm afraid it won't be forgiven lightly."

  "That's also true." Xiao Xiao nodded, "Using so much money to brush up performance is no better than directly bribing the leader..."

  Just then, Chen Ce pushed open the conference room door and led Zhang Jiaming, Zeng Baichuan and a group of people to rush in.

  "What's going on here?" Zheng Shuai saw them and was already furious, forcefully tapping his watch, "Didn't we agree to start at 10 o'clock?"

  "Yes, of course." Zeng Baichuan waved his hand and laughed loudly, "We came all the way here, causing you so much trouble, it's really embarrassing. Let's make up for it by having a working lunch together. Come on, whoever doesn't come is not giving our Auditing Department face."

  "Ah, great!" Zhang Jiaming, who was sleeping soundly beside him, chimed in with a spirited tone, "We're all from the same line of work, after checking for so long, having a meal is also a basic courtesy."

  "Hmm, this meal is inevitable." Chen Xiang softly followed up with a sentence, then turned to look at Lin Qiang, "Director Lin, it's getting late... shall we go eat together?"

  "YOU!!" Zheng Shuai furiously pointed at Chen Ce, but actually roared at Zeng Baichuan, "Is this interesting? Can't you see that Lin Qiang is already exhausted?! Don't be too excessive!"

  "Oh? Is this Zheng Shuai from the former General Management Department?" Zeng Baichuan smiled and said, "Long time no see, do you want me to go back and help you get in good with Director Luo?"

  "Y...y..." Zheng Shuai's voice choked in his chest, he was already furious beyond control, and it seemed like he was about to erupt at any moment.

  At this time, Lin Qiang stood up and slowly placed his right hand on Zheng Shuai's shoulder.

  "Hold on, but it's just a shrimp soldier." After instructing, Lin Qiang turned around, with those bloodshot eyes looking at Zeng Baichuan, "Sorry, to be honest, I need to sleep for a few hours to prepare for tonight's inspection, no energy to eat now."

  "Director Lin, this is not easy to handle..." Chen Lian said with some entanglement, "They came from afar and took the initiative to invite us. A working lunch is the most basic etiquette."

  "Shut up. I didn't ask for your opinion." Lin Qiang turned to Chen Yan, staring at him word by word and said, "I'm telling the head of the audit department that I won't be able to go out with him for dinner anymore, what's wrong with you! Stop talking nonsense!"

  A sudden and unprovoked torrent of abuse was hurled at Chen Lian's face, leaving everyone else speechless for a moment.

  Chen Lian's face twitched: "Lin Qiang, you mustn't..."

  "Let me say it again, I didn't ask for your opinion!" Lin Qiang suddenly roared, "What do I want? I don't want to give face or not give face?"

  "Get it straight, who's being shameless here?!"

  "It's been two days, Chen Yuan, you've been here for two days, what have you done besides chatting with Zhang Jiaming?! I haven't bothered you and that's already being polite!"

  "What a stinky face and a mouthful of bad breath! Do you think this is a duck farm?!"

  "If you can work, then work properly, if you don't want to work, then get out, stop talking nonsense."

  Lin Qiang let out a string of curses, finally turning to Zeng Baichuan: "Director Zeng, this statement can be recorded by your subordinates, it can be considered as me educating my subordinates, or it can be considered as my mismanagement."

  The suppressed anger that had been building up for so long shocked everyone present. Zheng Shuai and Xiao Xiao were secretly delighted, thinking to themselves that this effeminate man was indeed sick in the head - who did he think he was? He was just a fox exploiting the tiger's might.

  As for Chen Tong, he has been scolded until his whole body is trembling and cannot respond.

  Because Lin Qiang said is a fact, he came, indeed did nothing, but increased a lot of trouble.

  Zeng Baichuan, who had always been an onlooker, showed little change in his expression, but inside he was seething with anger and terror. The tail end of Lin Qiang's curse still lingered in his ears. On the surface, Lin Qiang was indeed scolding Chen Yan for being a troublemaker, yet wasn't this speech also aimed at himself? Every sentence could be applied to Zeng Baichuan if his name were substituted.

  This is the most infuriating thing, being scolded but unable to fight back.

  "Lin Qiang, you need to understand one thing." Zeng Baichuan's pair of golden fish eyes seemed to have bulged out already. "Inviting you here for dinner is our good intention. Our auditing department often invites people for tea, but the opportunity to invite someone for dinner is rare."

  "Hehe, then I'll take you up on that. Lin Qiang smiled and replied without thinking, "Whether it's eating or drinking tea, I don't have time for either right now. If you're capable of issuing a formal document inviting me to drink tea, please go ahead and do so."

  Zeng Baichuan trembled as he raised his right hand, pointing at Lin Qiang and saying: "Also, according to the regulations this time, if there is a nighttime inspection, you can go home and rest during the day. You insisting on staying on duty is your own voluntary act, it has nothing to do with our auditing department, do you understand?! If you die from overwork, we will not bear any responsibility!"

  "Ah!" Lin Qiang laughed loudly, "The head of the audit department is actually waiting for me to come and die, what an honor! Has Lin Qiang already reached a point where both heaven and man are angry with him?"

  "That's enough!" Zeng Baichuan swung his arm and turned back, taking the lead to step out of the gate. "If that's how it is, let's handle things in an official manner. See you at 10 pm tonight, Director Lin."

  Chen Lian and Zhang Jiaming did not dare to look into Lin Qiang's eyes again, nor did they dare to say another word. They hastily followed Zeng Baichuan and his party as they left once more.

  After they left, Lin Qiang finally sat down on the chair with a thud, rubbing his temples and cursing: "Damn it's exhausting, how did the higher-ups raise such a bunch of people?"
