My Terrible Life in Those Years

Just as I was about to start work at half past the hour, Aunt Shu called me into her office.

She made me sit on the ground directly in front of her, her arms crossed over her chest, looking hostile.

I cried out in alarm.

But I was still drawn to the undulating fabric of her clothes. She was already quite imposing, and now, in this pose, her entire upper body was bulging out. I almost stared wide-eyed.

She could tell what I, this shameless and audacious guy in her eyes, was looking at just by following my gaze.

She immediately lowered her hand and gently tapped the table, finally bringing my gaze back to her face.

"Have you prepared all the necessary documents?"

She thought for a long time before starting with her work.

I was taken aback for a moment: "I handed over everything from this morning to Manager Wu Bo in Sales Department One. He said it was fine. I can't prepare anything else."

"So you're saying you're doing nothing? Right now?"

I thought to myself, I'm so busy, I'm looking at her face while also trying to look down a little.

"You, this afternoon, compile a list of all the GG cases in the company that have exceeded one million."

The way she looked at me made her hands tremble slightly, but she couldn't find a reason to directly scold me.

Could she possibly say, "What are you looking at? Look there again and I'll gouge your eyes out?"

Why can't she say that? Because she knows I might still answer her like this: It's so beautiful, why can't I see it?

I gave her a strange look. Did a vice president like her really need to tell me about something like this? She could have just asked Wu Bo, the supervisor of Sales Department 1, to handle it for me!

"If you ever dare to talk about pillows in front of other colleagues again, I'll make you compile all the cases from the New Year!"

She's fierce, but not in a truly angry way.

I was horrified. Sure enough, what I said to Liu at noon had been misinterpreted by her.

"Um, Manager Shu, the pillow I was talking about with Liu Mei at noon wasn't your pillow! It was the pillow from my home!"

She was greatly surprised.

"You're so poor, yet you still have a girlfriend at home?" Aunt Shu's face turned cold.

I guess it's my fault. I can't even support myself now, how dare I look for a girlfriend?

This makes the misunderstanding even bigger.

"Manager Shu, the pillow I was talking about with Liu Mei is a real pillow, the kind you put on your bed to sleep in, not the one in your car yesterday!"

Her face was full of expressions, and I enjoyed them without any restraint.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had misunderstood.

He slammed his hand on the table again: "Get out here and get to work!"

The look of shame and anger in his eyes truly made me tremble.

I quickly stood up: "Manager Shu, don't worry, I won't mention the pillow to anyone else."

I added an "other" to indicate that she wasn't included. I think it's okay to mention her sometimes in front of her, right?

"roll!"

I quickly got out.

Because I saw her pick up the pen on the table, looking like she wanted to throw it at me.

Before I could even ask Liu Mei to find the information in the system and send it to me, someone from Sales Department 1 called me to a large meeting.

When I entered the large conference room, I realized that the entire Sales Department had about thirty people. This didn't include those who were traveling on business, visiting clients, or handling other errands. I checked the contact list and there were about fifty colleagues.

This is definitely a major project!

Sitting at the front was Aunt Shu, and to her left was Wu Bo, the sales manager of the first sales department.

I also saw Zhou Tong, a young woman. She was sitting a few seats behind President Shu, holding a pen and notebook, apparently to take meeting minutes.

Judging from this setup, there must be a big project going on, otherwise why would they gather so many employees?

Wu Bo is a round-faced man with glasses. He is not tall, has an average appearance, and has a somewhat refined look.

But when it comes to getting things done, he's incredibly fast, and almost everyone in the sales department is unafraid of him.

He is an extremely shrewd and capable person, and is highly regarded by both President Liu and President Shu.

At this moment, Wu Bo, seeing that everyone had arrived, glanced at General Manager Shu and then tapped the table with his pen.

"The meeting is now starting!"

"Before we begin the meeting, let me introduce a new employee!"

My eyes were still on the faces of Aunt Shu and Zhou Tong, the two beautiful women.

"New colleague, please introduce yourself!" Everyone turned to look at me, including Aunt Shu. When she saw me glancing at her, her eyes immediately sharpened.

I was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this was a large meeting.

I quickly stood up: "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Ning. I've been assigned to Sales Department 1 as an assistant. I don't have any special skills or experience, but I'm strong. If there's any heavy lifting or carrying work, just call me!"

Everyone burst into laughter, while some who were unaware of the situation gave me a strange look.

Why is there a male assistant? What's going on?

Everyone clapped softly to show their welcome.

Wu Bo chuckled and continued, "This colleague from Jiangning is no ordinary person. On his very first day, he worked with President Shu to secure the entire five million GG for the second half of LE's business, and the payment was received on the same day. He set three records: first, he's the first colleague to successfully close a deal on his first day as a sales assistant; second, his very first order reached the standard of a five million GG; and third, he received payment on the same day the contract was signed!"

The entire conference room suddenly fell silent.

I was also somewhat surprised by what Manager Wu said.

I glanced at Aunt Shu; her eyes and expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to discern her inner thoughts in this situation.

Manager Wu, on the other hand, always seemed to be trying to elevate me.

Under his leadership, everyone applauded again.

The applause this time, apart from that given to Aunt Shu and Zhou Tong, seemed somewhat perfunctory.

I quickly stood up again and bowed to everyone to express my gratitude.

Even if it's just perfunctory, it's still applause. We can't let people think we're rude, right?

Manager Wu got straight to the point: "This time, with everyone's concerted efforts, our company has secured a redevelopment project for an old village, with a total value of tens of millions. The purpose of this meeting is to clarify the work arrangements, personnel arrangements, and specific division of labor."

This time, the entire conference room erupted in thunderous applause—a genuine and enthusiastic response.

I was startled. Good heavens, it really was that GG project I heard about this morning.

I don't know what kind of content they're going to create, yet it costs tens of millions?

"This time, I discussed it with General Manager Shu and General Manager Liu, and we're going to transfer ten colleagues from Sales Department One to form this project team. Anyone who wants to participate, please raise your hand!"

In the entire conference room, everyone except Wu Bo, Zhou Tong, Aunt Shu, and me raised their hands, and both hands at that!

Is it really that enthusiastic? I don't understand.

"It seems everyone is quite enthusiastic. Since everyone is willing to do it, we won't decide on the personnel selection here. I will draft a list of personnel based on everyone's wishes, their usual performance, and the needs of the position, and submit it to General Manager Shu and General Manager Liu for review. We will announce it after the review. Now, let's confirm the candidates for sales assistants."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were shifting between Zhou Tong's and my faces. It seemed that the only candidates were her and me.

Isn't she a receptionist? Can she also do the work of a sales assistant?

I was taken aback. Why are the supporting roles being decided before the main characters?
