Chapter 584 - Glib-Tongued Sweet Talker (1/2)
“Jin Yitang will undoubtedly keep encroaching into the market and take up Huayao Corporation’s share of the consumer base, so I would think that it does pose a severe threat to your organization. But I have a way that will help Huayao Corporation mitigate its risks,” said Zhang Dashan, speaking like an expert.
Shen Qingyan’s interest was instantly piqued, and she asked, “What’s that?”
Zhang Dashan cleared his throat dramatically and explained, “As you very well know, Goddess Su and Old Xiao are husband and wife. So, it will come as no surprise that Sumir and Luo Workshop would eventually merge, sharing the pastry market between themselves as equals. Now, just think… If both of us were to find ourselves in a similar relationship, we could merge Jin Yitang and Huayao Corporation. So you see…”
“Enough!”
Shen Qingyan threw that one word right back at him before he could finish.
“Huh?”
Zhang Dashan was embarrassed. “Well, I’m just putting it out there, so there’s no need to get all riled up,” he said.
He thought to himself, I’m doomed! She’s not interested in me, and this plan will never work!
Shen Qingyan refused to pay any more attention to Zhang Dashan and stormed off.
“Going after someone that is so obviously out of your league–how shameless can you get?” said Chai Zhiying, mocking him.
Zhang Dashan retorted, “Listen up, Menopause. I’m going to make sure I get President Shen because of what you just said. And when that happens, I’m sure the sound of you slapping yourself will be nothing short of a symphony.”
“You idiot! Who are you calling Menopause?”
Chai Zhiying was so enraged that she could not contain herself–she found the moniker he gave her incredibly insulting!
“There you go, your response befits the description perfectly,” he quipped.
Zhang Dashan raised a brow with an indifferent expression on his face, and then he chased after Shen Qingyan like the philanderer he was. “Slow down, President Shen, wait for me!” he called after her.
“You shameless idiot! Do you think Miss Shen is someone who would respond to your affections? Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror?” Chai Zhiying sneered as if putting a curse on the man.
Close by, Li Zimeng and Luo Qi could not help but shake their heads as they witnessed the awkward exchange of insults. They were no stranger to Zhang Dashan’s temper and personality, but they had no complaints about his capabilities at work. Xiao Luo had handed Luo Workshop over to him to manage, and he had done an excellent job. He was an exceptional and competent leader. They were wary of Zhang Dashan because they were aware that he indulged in a debauched lifestyle. He was not the kind of man you would want to date or marry.
Suddenly, Li Zimeng’s phone rang. She looked at it, and it was Xiao Luo calling. She quickly took the call.
“President Xiao!” she answered.
“Get me a new female employee’s uniform, the same type and size you would wear,” Xiao Luo requested.
A new uniform?
What was going on? Was this for Su Li?
Xiao Luo and Su Li, had they been…?
Li Zimeng allowed her mind to wander, and her face flushed when she came up with a possible scenario. She found it unbelievable. She was startled in shock but quickly came back to her senses. She nodded as she replied, “Yes, I… I will get it for you immediately!”
“Thanks,” Xiao Luo said and cut the call.
Luo Qi saw Li Zimeng standing in shock with the phone in her hand, so she probed curiously and asked, “What’s wrong, Zimeng?”
Li Zimeng blinked and snapped back to reality. With a laugh, she said, “Err, it’s n-nothing…”
With an issue like this, the fewer who knew, the better.
“You help President Zhang handle them, Luo Qi. There’s something I have to see to,” Li Zimeng said.
“Sure, don’t worry. President Zhang and I will be able to handle it. You do what you have to,” Luo Qi said with a giggle.
