"This is a contract from my Liu Corporation. I hope we can cooperate with Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals," Liu Xuanhao hurried forward.
"A contract from Liu Corporation?" Lu Fan chuckled. "Your subordinates were unwilling to sign, yet you, the boss, are quite proactive."
"Liu Corporation is just a small enterprise in Qingzhou. It's our honor to sign a contract with Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals," Liu Xuanhao flattered.
"Since that's the case, leave the contract here. I will sign it," Lu Fan nodded slightly. "However, you need to be more disciplined in the future, especially with your subordinates."
"Mr. Lu, rest assured," Liu Xuanhao nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Lu Fan nodded and didn't pay much more attention.
After Liu Xuanhao left the office, he let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but in front of Lu Fan, he involuntarily felt humble, even his breathing felt uneasy.
Watching Liu Xuanhao leave, Secretary Li in the office chuckled, "Mr. Lu is truly amazing. Someone delivered a contract before you even left the building!"
"It's not me who's amazing, but the sales team," Lu Fan smiled. "Take this contract to the sales team!"
"Sales team member Lin Ke successfully secured the Liu Corporation order," Secretary Li smiled. "She will definitely be rewarded according to company rules!"
"You're quite savvy!" Lu Fan gave her a sidelong glance.
Meanwhile, in the sales department, Xiao Qi was describing the previous night's events to her colleagues. Many were shocked and even a little scared.
Most of the sales team were girls. If they encountered such a situation, they truly wouldn't know what to do.
Lin Ke sat to the side, finding Xiao Qi's exaggerated expression somewhat amusing.
As they were chatting, a figure approached the sales team, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Xiao Qi was still loudly recounting the story. Only when everyone quieted down did she quickly turn around. Upon seeing the person before her, her face instantly turned awkward. "Team Leader Zhou, why are you here?"
"I am the leader of the sales team. Shouldn't I be here?" Team Leader Zhou's expression was calm.
Xiao Qi, feeling a bit awkward, quickly returned to her workstation.
Lin Ke also rolled her eyes. Xiao Qi had been too flamboyant, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. Team Leader Zhou was strict and not someone to be easily offended.
"Lin Ke, did you sign an order last night?"
Team Leader Zhou looked at Lin Ke.
"It was supposed to be signed... but..." Lin Ke hesitated.
"This is the contract you signed, and it has already been approved by the chairman," Team Leader Zhou said, holding the contract in his hand. "The Liu Corporation order is significant. You have achieved the first merit for the sales department this time."
Applause erupted in the sales department. Lin Ke was bewildered, and Xiao Qi beside her was equally astonished. Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible.
After Team Leader Zhou left, the sales department exploded with joy. Xiao Qi looked at Lin Ke with a surprised expression.
Lin Ke was also surprised. "I have no idea what's going on. You look at me, but who should I look at?"
"It's truly miraculous!" Xiao Qi exclaimed. "I really didn't expect you to have such incredible luck. It seems your luck is great today. Come with me to the Jade Stone City!"
"Jade Stone City?"
Lin Ke was a bit surprised. She didn't know anything about gambling on stones, but seeing Xiao Qi's serious expression, she couldn't directly refuse.
"That's right, Jade Stone City!" Xiao Qi nodded. "Since your luck is so good, if you pick stones there, it definitely won't be too bad!"
"I don't know anything about stones. If you make me go to Jade Stone City, won't that be..."
With an awkward expression, Lin Ke spoke frankly.
"It's okay, we'll just pick a few cheap ones. Perhaps we can find some unexpectedly good stones," Xiao Qi said earnestly. "After all, your luck has been soaring recently."
Lin Ke felt a bit helpless and couldn't directly refuse.
After work, Lu Fan arrived at the entrance of Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals on time, waiting for Lin Ke.
Seeing Lu Fan at the entrance, Lin Ke gave a wry smile. "I have to go to Jade Stone City today. Xiao Qi invited me, and I couldn't refuse!"
"Jade Stone City?" Lu Fan smiled. "That's good. I wanted to go there as well."
"Brother Lu Fan, have you gambled on stones before?" Lin Ke asked in surprise.
"Not really, but I can learn," Lu Fan shrugged.
"It's strange, but last night when I went to sign the contract, I encountered those thugs, and the contract wasn't signed. But surprisingly, early this morning, Team Leader Zhou brought the Liu Corporation contract and said I negotiated it," Lin Ke tested the waters. "Brother Lu Fan, do you know what's going on?"
"How could I possibly know?" Lu Fan looked up at the sky, appearing lost.
"That's right, how could Brother Lu Fan know?" Lin Ke gave a wry smile. "I guess I was overthinking."
"Alright, let's not dwell on these matters," Lu Fan said with a smile. "Aren't we going to Jade Stone City?"
"Xiao Qi is still changing into her work uniform. She should be here soon," Lin Ke said directly. "Let's wait here for a bit."
Lu Fan nodded and didn't say anything more.
A while later, Xiao Qi finally arrived. Seeing Lu Fan, she smiled. "I really needed your help last night. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous."
"That's true," Lu Fan nodded. "You shouldn't do such dangerous things in the future."
"Of course!" Xiao Qi nodded and smiled. "But I don't know why, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, and it was before this."
"Ahem... I work nearby, so it's normal if you've seen me," Lu Fan quickly replied.
"Not nearby, it should be within the company," Xiao Qi recalled. "Did you work at Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals before?"
"No! You must be mistaken," Lu Fan shook his head seriously.
"Those employees, what are you still doing there?" Manager Chen's voice sounded. "It's already after work, why aren't you going home?"
Lin Ke and Xiao Qi hurried away. Xiao Qi looked even more panicked. Only after leaving Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why are you guys running so fast?" Lu Fan was bewildered.
"You wouldn't know, but the person just now was Manager Chen," Xiao Qi said, panting. "He's a favorite of the chairman. I heard that even the directors have to listen to him. He's very powerful."
"That's right, that's right. I saw Team Leader Zhou once, and she was very respectful to Manager Chen, not with that stern face," Lin Ke quickly added.
Lu Fan stood aside, saying nothing, only looking slightly awkward.
Outside the gate of Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals, Manager Chen smiled. He had clearly heard Xiao Qi's conversation with Lu Fan just now, which was why he deliberately rushed them. His intention was to cover for Lu Fan.
If Lu Fan didn't want Lin Ke to know his identity, he would do his best to facilitate it, as it was part of his job responsibilities.
