Chapter 1409: Chapter 1410: A Hand-copied Book

“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.”

Xiao Chen gave Chen Simin a cold glance and said, “Some people rely on selling their dignity to secure deals. Maybe you should think about whether you’re fit to be a manager.”

“Did you just insult me?”

Chen Simin’s expression darkened.

“Hehe, didn’t Manager Chen say we couldn’t do it? How about a bet then?”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

“A bet? What kind of bet?”

“If we succeed, you quit. If we fail, the two of us will be at your mercy from now on.”

Xiao Chen said flatly.

“You said it!”

Chen Simin grinned.

These two rookies really don’t understand anything. Do they think doing business is that easy?

“Yes, I said it.”

Xiao Chen nodded.

“Fine, I’ll take the bet!”

Chen Simin declared loudly.

“As expected, Manager Chen is decisive.”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and looked at Liu Siyu, saying, “Siyu, let’s go find some opportunities. We only have three days, so we have to move quickly.”

Although he had already settled on a company, he didn’t want Liu Siyu to sit back and reap the rewards. She had to experience the challenges; this was key to her growth.

In any case, the next few days would otherwise be idle, so he decided to let Liu Siyu learn from him, broaden her horizons, and gain experience.

Most importantly, he wanted to ensure she wouldn’t be humiliated in the company.

The crowd watched as Xiao Chen led Liu Siyu away.

Some shook their heads helplessly, thinking that Xiao Chen and Liu Siyu were overly confident and somewhat naïve.

Others showed signs of resentment.

“Manager Chen, why not just fire Xiao Chen since he’s being so arrogant?”

Zhong Na, still fuming from being slapped by Xiao Chen, was indignant.

“What do you know!”

Liu Siyu glanced at Zhong Na and said, “He made a promise to the chairman himself, guaranteeing he’d bring us a partner within three days. I want to fire him now.”

“But can I do that?

Besides, he’s not going to succeed in three days, is he? When the time comes, I’ll handle him as I see fit.

Your grudge will surely be avenged.”

“Brother Xiao, where are we going?”

Liu Siyu asked.

“We’ll head to Xinmeng Group first.”

Xiao Chen smiled.

“Xinmeng Group? THE Xinmeng Group!”

Liu Siyu was brimming with excitement.

To be honest, her dream was to work at Xinmeng Group. Unfortunately, the company hadn’t been hiring recently, and she was a fresh graduate who needed to earn a living. She couldn’t add more financial burden to her rural parents.

But her admiration for Xinmeng Group was unparalleled.

“That’s right, the Xinmeng Group headquartered in Tianhai City, originating in Linhai.”

Xiao Chen chuckled as a car pulled up next to them.

It wasn’t a Rolls-Royce this time but a Future sedan produced by Xinmeng’s automotive division—priced at over forty thousand dollars. Its quality and specifications rivaled million-dollar cars.

If anything, it was even better.

Abroad, this car sells for a hundred thousand euros and boasts solid sales.

“You again?”

Liu Siyu felt a bit bewildered. Why was it that every time Xiao Chen ordered a ride, it was always driven by this guy, Guan Hu?

At Xinmeng Group, Liu Siyu met Jiang Meng, Lin Meng, and Xiao Yulan.

These were all her idols.

She dreamed of one day reaching their level.

“President Lin, doesn’t Xinmeng Group have specialized marketing training sessions? Include her in those in the future.

Even for negotiations that aren’t too confidential, it’d be good to let her tag along so she can gain some experience.”

Xiao Chen said to Lin Meng.

“No problem!”

Lin Meng nodded in agreement.

“Young lady, let’s go pick out some clothes first. Your current attire isn’t suitable for negotiations!”

“Go with President Lin. I’ve taken care of your leave with your company.”

Xiao Chen said.

Liu Siyu felt as if she were dreaming; she didn’t even know how to process it.

Lin Meng directly drove her to the best mall in Capital City, buying a large haul of clothes, accessories, and more.

They spent nearly ten thousand dollars!

Liu Siyu was utterly stunned.

“Ten thousand dollars? I can’t possibly afford to repay this.”

Liu Siyu shook her head.

“Don’t worry, your future salary will cover it in a month!”

Lin Meng chuckled, “No rush in repaying. There’s no interest. Pay it back when you earn enough. For now, listen, observe, and learn from me.

A month from now, you’ll be a completely new person.”

Though Liu Siyu was filled with countless questions, she dared not ask.

For her, this truly might be a life-changing opportunity, and she wasn’t about to give it up.

So she decided not to ask.

After spending a busy day shadowing Lin Meng, Liu Siyu realized just how ignorant she was.

The things she’d learned in college were worlds apart from reality.

However, this opened her eyes to the real difference between Xinmeng Group and Dashang Group.

Xinmeng Group’s female employees were all confident and self-assured. No matter how powerful or high-ranking the person they faced, they carried themselves with dignity and composure. They would never stoop to using degrading tactics like kneeling or letting others take advantage to secure deals.

Her admiration for Xinmeng Group grew stronger.

Before returning to her apartment, Liu Siyu changed back into her old clothes. Just as she was about to leave, she noticed Xiao Chen waiting outside in his car.

Xiao Chen’s car was a New Century model priced at around ten to twenty thousand dollars.

So Liu Siyu didn’t overthink it.

This wasn’t an expensive car—ordinary people could save for a few years and afford it.

“Let’s go. I’ll drive you home!”

Xiao Chen said.

Once inside the car, Liu Siyu hesitantly asked, “Brother Xiao, are you married?”

“Don’t fall for me; I have a wife.”

Xiao Chen smiled, “The reason I’m investing in you is actually because of the chairman. She hopes to develop you into someone capable of standing on her own.

Like a Marketing Department Manager.”

“Marketing Department Manager!”

Liu Siyu gasped in astonishment.

Though disappointed to learn Xiao Chen was married, the next moment’s surprise completely overshadowed it.

“That’s right. Did you notice Xinmeng Group’s work culture? The chairman hopes Dashang Group’s employees can emulate it.

So some of the stubborn old-timers have to go.

I’ll also tell you straight up—Chen Simin is suspected of selling company assets, and the chairman is already aware. The only reason she hasn’t been dealt with yet is that she’s still handling some critical responsibilities.

We need to train someone to replace her.

I think you’re a good fit for the role.”

“I… I don’t think I’m capable!”

Liu Siyu shook her head, “If you had asked me before, I might have agreed. But having seen a true professional, I now realize how far behind I am.”

“You mean Lin Meng? Well, she’s an ace manager. Of course, you can’t compare to her yet.

Seeing your shortcomings is a good thing.

But don’t worry; I’ll help you, and with Lin Meng’s guidance, you’ll definitely succeed.

Of course, if you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”

“I’m willing!”

Liu Siyu gritted her teeth, “I’ll work hard to learn.”

“Then be prepared for some hardships—shadow Lin Meng during the day and study these at night.”

Xiao Chen handed Liu Siyu a book, “This handwritten account is from a friend’s personal experiences. Take good care of it. Read it, and then return it to me.

It’ll benefit you for life.”
