The Enchanting Lies, Chapter 6: Encounter

page views:1 Publication date:2023-03-23

At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a few knocks on the door. After a long wait, a sleepy-eyed Kong Xinxin opened the door. Seeing it was her father, she immediately adopted an indifferent attitude: "Dad, don't bother me, I still want to sleep..."

Xinxin complained, turning around to close the door, but her father quickly reached out to stop her: "If you don't want to get engaged, go to the company this afternoon to see Uncle Ma. He will arrange a job for you."

"Yes, yes..."

Kong Xinxin casually agreed, and was about to close the door again when she suddenly remembered something. She turned back and said, "Dad, what kind of job are you going to give me? I won't do anything too hard."

"Don't worry, you don't need to choose, you don't need to lift a finger. If I don't see you today, see how I deal with you." "I'll go to work! And what's my annual salary?"

Xinxin suddenly changed her tune, smiling as she leaned forward.

"You know nothing, yet you come to talk to me about salary. I'll handle this myself."

"I'm your daughter, a yearly salary of five or six hundred thousand, shouldn't I have that?"

Xin Xin leaned her head against the door.

"That's wishful thinking! What kind of character or ability do you have to accept that salary! Do you know how much new employees at the company are paid? The average monthly salary is only six to seven thousand yuan. We'll just give you that."

"What?"

Xin Xin's eyes widened. "I don't want it! Six or seven thousand yuan isn't even enough for gas! How am I supposed to survive?"

"It's your own fault for driving. If you don't want to come to work with me, you can take the subway. Besides, the company has an employee bus that doesn't cost a penny. Think it over."

"Dad, how can you treat your daughter like this!"

Xin Xin pouted, acting coquettishly. "Let's each compromise a little, how about a yearly salary of three hundred thousand?"

"Okay, but I'm taking back your credit card, how about that?"

"You're so heartless! Fine, fine. You miser, you stingy bastard, you don't love your daughter at all."

Xin Xin raised her eyebrows: "I'm fine with going to work, but I won't go to the sales department, Dad, you have to promise me."

Her father ignored her, turned and walked towards the door, ignoring Xin Xin's calls behind him. As he walked, he thought of his beloved daughter's coquettish behavior just now, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "This troublesome little devil, there's really no way to deal with her!"

Xin Xin's father's name was Kong Rihui, the founder of Guanghui Enterprise, whose business was mainly garment manufacturing. In addition to exporting its products, it also owned three clothing brands and nearly a hundred stores, mainly distributed in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. He was a very famous garment industry tycoon.

Just after lunch time, a Mercedes-Benz sports car drove into the Guanghui Enterprise parking lot. The girl in the car, just like the name of the car brand, "Mercedes" is a name used to address girls in Spanish, meaning "beautiful and elegant."

Xin Xin got out of the car and walked into the elevator lobby through the side door. Today, Xinxin had changed her outfit. Gone were her casual jeans; instead, she wore a sophisticated suit dress and light makeup, making her even more radiant and captivating.

She rarely visited her father's company, and nine out of ten employees were complete strangers to her. While waiting for the elevator, her stunning beauty immediately drew everyone's attention.

That Uncle Ma, named Ma Lixing, was Xinxin's father's right-hand man and a long-time partner in building the company. Currently, he was the executive director of Guanghui Enterprise, second only to Kong Rihui, the chairman and CEO—the second most important person in the company.

Xinxin arrived at Ma Lixing's office, where his secretary immediately announced her arrival and led her into the inner room. Upon seeing his niece, Ma Lixing immediately stepped out from behind his desk and said with a smile, "Xinxin, please sit down."

At the same time, he instructed his secretary, "Notify Sales Manager Li to come here."

Ma Lixing gestured for Xinxin to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, "I was quite surprised to hear from your father today that you're coming to work here."

"Uncle Ma, are you not welcoming me?"

"Of course not! Your father and I are both happy that you're willing to work for the company."

"I don't know anything and can't be of any help. Uncle Ma

, please don't scold me." "Who dares to scold my Xinxin? If anyone bullies you, you can tell me. You'll understand work-related issues gradually; don't be afraid or feel burdened."

"Uncle won't scold me, but I'm afraid Dad won't!"

Ma Lixing smiled, thinking, "You're my father's precious daughter; how could he seriously scold you?"

But he couldn't say this directly to Xinxin, so he said, "Your father and I have discussed it and plan to arrange for you to work in the sales department."

"It doesn't matter which department I work in; I don't know anything anyway."

"Our sales department is divided into two working groups, Group One and Group Two. Group One manages the 'Botao' and 'Aisi' brands, while Group Two only manages the 'Anya' brand. Their main tasks are overseeing the regional stores, including quality control, product sales, market conditions, customer issues, and salesperson supervision. 'Anya' is a mid-to-high-priced brand with fewer stores, and Group Two has a small staff, so personnel matters won't be too complicated, making it suitable for newcomers to learn. I'm assigning you to Group Two. Do you have any objections?"

"Uncle Ma has already made arrangements, so why would I have any objections?"

"That's good."

Ma Lixing nodded and smiled.

Not long after, a middle-aged man nearing fifty entered the office. Ma Lixing asked him to sit down and said, "This is Ms. Kong Xinxin, the chairman's daughter." He

then introduced Xinxin, "Mr. Li is the department manager of Group Two."

"Hello,"

Manager Li greeted her, thinking to himself, "So the chairman's daughter is quite a beauty."

Xinxin nodded in return. Ma Lixing continued, "Starting today, Miss Kong will be working in your department. The job assignment will be the same as I told you this morning."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions,"

Manager Li nodded.

"Xinxin, if you have any questions about work, you can discuss them with your colleagues or Manager Li." Xinxin

nodded in agreement.

"Alright, it's getting late."

Saying this, he stood up. Xinxin and Manager Li also stood up at the same time. Ma Lixing patted Manager Li on the shoulder twice: "I'm entrusting my niece to you. Please take good care of her from now on."

Manager Li politely replied a few words and then left the office with Xinxin.

The news that the chairman's daughter had been assigned to Group Two spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all departments. At lunchtime, many employees were still speculating about what kind of person she was—how old she was, whether she was beautiful or ugly, what her attitude would be like, and so on. Especially the employees of Group Two, upon learning of the arrival of the heiress, were all trembling with fear, feeling as if they were walking on thin ice.

Sales Team Two is located on the third floor of the Guanghui Enterprise Building. Although it occupies an entire floor, it has very few employees, with only a dozen or so male and female staff. The interior layout is no different from a typical office. Each employee's workspace is equipped with partitions to increase personal space. In addition to office chairs and desks, they also have their own filing cabinets and computers, and all office equipment is quite complete.

Accompanied by Manager Li, Xin Xin entered the second work area. Several employees near the door stopped their work upon seeing the two enter, all casting surprised glances at Kong Xin Xin.

No one had expected the big boss's daughter to be so young and stunningly beautiful; this discovery truly took them by surprise.

Manager Li said to Xin Xin beside him, "Actually, the work in the sales department isn't too complicated, but there are some details that need to be known. Shall we discuss them in the manager's office?"

His tone was extremely polite, as if afraid of offending this princess.

Xin Xin smiled and nodded, following Manager Li towards the manager's office, glancing around as she went, completely unconcerned about the employees' stares. When they were not far from the manager's office, Xin Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She said, "Manager Li, could you wait a moment?"

Manager Li, slightly taken aback by this, still nodded and smiled.

Suddenly, Xin Xin recognized a familiar face—it was He Junxian, whom she had bumped into the night before. The surprise and excitement she felt were indescribable.

At that moment, Junxian was engrossed in reviewing yesterday's sales figures from the store. Seeing the steadily declining revenue, he felt a sense of helplessness when suddenly a face approached his cheek, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Startled, he heard a woman's voice beside him: "Silly boy, what are you looking at?"

Junxian turned his head and his heart skipped a beat: "Shuya, you…how did you get here?"

Xin Xin put on a stern face: "Calling you silly is really not wrong. Your brain only has that Shuya in it."

"You…you are…"

Junxian immediately realized: "You're Xin Xin?"

Xin Xin smiled slightly, her lips close to his ear, and whispered with a laugh: "You're your 'sweetheart.' Surprised to see me, aren't you?"

"How did you get here?"

Junxian was bewildered, sitting up straight and staring blankly at her.

"I'm the all-knowing little witch; I knew you worked here just by doing a quick calculation."

"You're something else!"

Junxian smiled, then noticed Manager Li standing not far away, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Director He, so you and Miss Kong are friends,"

Manager Li said with a smile.

Junxian stood up and nodded, "Yes, she...she is..."

He didn't know how to explain.

"It's even better that you're friends. Miss Kong works in our second group; I'm sure you already knew that, right?"

"She...works here?"

Junxian was stunned, suddenly remembering the chairman's daughter. They both had the surname Kong, and he was greatly surprised, staring at Xinxin: "You...you're not the chairman...?"

"Aren't you welcoming me?"

Xinxin smiled and looked at him.

"No, how could that be..."

Junxian was speechless, feeling that the facts of the world were too ingenious.

"Since you and Miss Kong are friends, that makes things much easier,"

Manager Li said. "Miss Kong is new here, and everything is unfamiliar. Director He, could you please help Miss Kong with her work? Thank you

." "Yes,"

Junxian naturally had no choice but to agree.

"Great! I'll be your assistant, okay?"

Xinxin seemed quite excited.

"This..."

Junxian looked at Manager Li. He was just a department head, and he really had no right to interfere with the arrangement of positions.

"If Miss Kong likes it, then it's decided,"

Manager Li nodded. "Director He, you can continue with your work. I have something to discuss with Miss Kong."

"See you later,"

Xinxin winked at him and then went into the manager's office with Manager Li.

As soon as the door to the manager's office closed, several employees immediately came over and surrounded Junxian. A young man named Zhang Zhihao put his arm around Junxian's shoulder and said, "Good lad, you've got some skills. What's your relationship with her?"

"Don't overthink it. What relationship could there be!"

Junxian shook his head with a smile.

"You still say no? She's so affectionate with you, how could it be nothing?"

one female employee said with a smile.

"So the heiress is so young and beautiful, Director He, you're really lucky!"

another female employee named Wang Jiayi teased.

"Don't make wild guesses, I... I'm just a friend of hers, and we've only known each other for a short time..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a male employee named Xiao Sun.

"If she were just a friend, why would she flirt with you? Who would believe that?"

"Did you see her handbag just now?"

An employee named Fang Meijuan suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "The heiress is indeed extraordinary. That French designer Hermes Birkin alone costs over HK$100,000. I'm really envious."

"Right, right, I saw it. With her status and family background, it definitely wouldn't be a cheap knock-off worth two or three thousand dollars. One handbag is the price of a car. I believe I could never own one in this lifetime." "

That's outrageous. A handbag costing over HK$100,000? I don't believe it!"

Zhang Zhihao shook his head.

"What do you men know? Hermès is a world-class luxury brand. Faye Wong and Beckham's wives, along with many Hollywood celebrities and super-rich wives, are all fans of this brand. I heard that in recent years, Hermès has stopped accepting individual orders, so it's practically impossible to buy one even if you have the money. Currently, the only place with the largest stock is their headquarters in Ginza, Tokyo, which even has a version with a diamond clasp worth HK$1.3 million."

Zhang Zhihao stuck out his tongue. "All this time, I only knew about brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel. I really wouldn't have recognized such an expensive handbag if you hadn't told me. And the appearance of that handbag is so ordinary, no different from any other kind of product. I really don't know what its value is!"

"Louis Vuitton and Chanel, items under ten thousand dollars, are nothing special in Hong Kong anymore; you can see them everywhere on the street. These days, almost every female office worker owns one or two Louis Vuittons. Even I disdain using them, to avoid being gossiped about, accused of being neither here nor there, trying to elevate my status. Since I can't afford designer brands, I'd rather use ordinary brands; it's more comfortable,"

Fang Meijuan said.

Junxian, who hadn't paid attention to Xinxin's clothes, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he listened to their chatter.

Just then, Manager Li and Xinxin walked out of the manager's office. Everyone immediately stopped talking and was about to return to their posts when Manager Li suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Everyone

, stop for a moment." The employees stopped. Manager Li said, "This is Miss Kong. Starting today, she will be working with us. Everyone should look out for each other, understand?"

Everyone agreed verbally, but their faces showed no joy. Deep down, everyone still thought that with the heiress's arrival, their days were numbered.

Seeing the expressions on the employees' faces, Xin Xin understood what was going on. She smiled slightly and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Kong Xin Xin. Just call me by my name from now on. Also, I hope my identity won't put any pressure on you. To be honest, I was forced to come to work here! I've never worked before and I don't know anything, so please bear with me. If my father asks how my work is going, please help me out and say a few good words for me."

Upon hearing this, the employees' expressions immediately changed. Xiao Sun exclaimed, "Don't worry, I love helping people."

"Don't listen to him. Xiao Sun is not only malicious, but he also has a sharp tongue. He loves to play tricks and deceive people. You must be careful of this guy,"

Wang Jiayi laughed.

"Our Director He is a well-known good person. If you need help, he's the only one you can ask. Am I right?" Zhang Zhihao patted Junxian's shoulder and said with a smile.

Xin Xin smiled and looked at Jun Xian. Seeing him gazing at her with gentle, kind eyes, she felt a surge of joy and said, "Today is my first day at work. How about I treat you to a meal after work as a greeting gift?"

Everyone was naturally delighted. Zhang Zhihao laughed, "In Japanese and Korean dramas on TV, you always see celebrations for newly hired employees, but it's always the superiors treating their subordinates. Why is it the other way around today, like Guanyin inviting Arhats? How strange, how strange!"

"This is Hong Kong. Why not change the plot a bit? Wouldn't that be great?"

Xin Xin said with a smile.

"That's true. I won't stand on ceremony,"

said Xiao Sun.

Manager Li, standing nearby, laughed, "It doesn't make sense for Miss Kong to treat us. I'll treat you then."

"No way!"

Xin Xin interrupted, "I already said I absolutely can't go back on my word. Manager Li, let's leave this meal for another time. There will always be another opportunity."

"Since Miss Kong insists, let's wait until next time,"

Manager Li said helplessly, then pointed to the empty seat next to Junxian: "Miss Kong is Director He's assistant, so she can use this desk; it will be more convenient."

Xinxin nodded happily, and Manager Li said loudly, "Alright, alright, everyone can go back to work."

Junxian returned to his desk and sat down. Seeing Xinxin put her handbag in the cabinet, he sighed inwardly, "That Fang Meijuan misjudged. This apricot-colored crocodile Birkin bag, even if it's from a farmed crocodile with the 'oo' symbol, would cost close to 300,000. If it's from a wild crocodile with the '<' symbol, it would cost 320,000 Hong Kong dollars, and even the buyback price would be 250,000. Such expensive luxury goods are simply disheartening!"

Since joining Guanghui Enterprise, Junxian had begun to pay attention to and study brand clothing from various places. In just three years, he had become able to distinguish brands from different countries at a glance.

Xin Xin tidied her desk, walked over to Jun Xian, and asked, "What work do you need me to do?"

Jun Xian looked up at her, seeing her captivating eyes and radiant beauty, his heart fluttering slightly. He said, "This is yesterday's sales data from the retail department. Please enter it all into the computer for me."

He then showed her the location of the file folder and demonstrated how to input and categorize the data. After completing the computer task, he instructed her to put the sales slips in the filing cabinet.

Xin Xin listened attentively and laughed, "This job is too simple. Isn't it a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito? It's a waste of her talent."

Jun Xian chuckled, "You're absolutely right. Asking a princess to input files is a bit much."

Just then, Wang Jiayi suddenly walked over and said to Xin Xin, "Miss Kong, someone has delivered flowers to you."

Xin Xin was startled and looked towards the door. She saw the flower delivery person standing by the door, holding a large bouquet of red roses, more than dozens of them. Xin Xin frowned and went over to accept the flowers. With a

"thud,"

Xin Xin slammed the roses onto her desk, pulled out a card with her index and middle fingers, glanced at it briefly, then threw it forcefully onto the bouquet. She took out her phone from her handbag, and after a while, said, "I'll give you two minutes. Wait for me in the elevator lobby on the third floor."

The other person seemed to think the time was too short, but Xin Xin ignored them: "No need to say anything more, you have two minutes."

She hung up the phone, plopped down in her chair, picked up the bouquet of roses, and threw it into the wastepaper basket.

Junxian witnessed the entire scene. Seeing Xinxin's angry face and pouting lips, he didn't dare to ask why. He thought to himself, "This flower delivery person is clearly an employee of the company. To know the chairman's daughter, their position must be quite high."

Just as Xinxin approached the elevator, a young man angrily approached. The man, about thirty years old and dressed in a sharp suit, immediately put on a smile upon seeing Xinxin: "Xinxin, I'm sorry, I was too busy with work this afternoon and couldn't meet you. You won't be angry with me, will you?"

This young man was named Ma Anjie, the son of the executive director, Ma Lixing, and Xinxin's father's chosen son-in-law. Ma Anjie held a bachelor's degree in business and was currently the sales general manager of Guanghui Enterprise.

Upon seeing Ma Anjie, Xinxin immediately stopped, crossed her arms, and snorted, "What do you mean by this? If you dare send flowers to my office again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Okay, okay... I won't send them anymore. Today is your first day at work, I've already made a reservation to celebrate with you, I'll pick you up after work."

"No need, I have plans tonight, I'm having dinner with my colleagues from Group Two."

Xinxin turned her head away.

"This... this..."

Ma Anjie hesitated for a moment, then changed his expression and smiled, "It's only right, it's only right, everyone will be happier having dinner together, I'll be the host tonight."

"No need!"

Xinxin glared at him, "I'm warning you in advance, if you dare to come along, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you, as the general manager, don't want to lose face, feel free to come and try. Also, I've already made it clear to my dad, don't let me hear the word 'engagement' again, understand?"

After saying that, she turned and walked back the way she came.

Ma Anjie stared wide-eyed as Xin Xin's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, thinking to himself, "You think you can escape my grasp? Not so easy."
