Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 191

In the past two weeks, Mu Tongrui had found a new job, got a new number and had a new circle of friends. After leaving Bei City, her life had taken on a whole new look.

She lived in a new city and met different people. She worked every day from 9 to 5 and led a simple life. Occasionally, she would accompany the manager to entertain clients, or go for team-building activity with her colleagues. She seemed to have gradually forgotten Fu Lingye, but somehow the emptiness in her was more intense.

She was pregnant when she joined the new company, but she did not disclose it. If the company knew that she was pregnant, she might not be hired. She did not plan to work in this company for long either, as she just wanted to have a stable income for the time being. She was more than a month into her pregnancy now. Although her belly was still flat and wasn't showing at all, she felt that her baby can gradually listen to her mumbles.

Mu Tongrui’s company was a small company. She was in need of a job at the time, so she looked for the position as a salesperson. The company dealt with floor heating and central air-conditioning. In fact, the job was not easy. Mu Tongrui set her heart on sales as she thought about raising her child by herself.

The department manager came out of the office and called her, “Tongrui, you will go with me and sign the contract with Shengyuan tonight.”

“Okay.”

Manager Li glanced at her and asked thoughtfully, “By the way, can you drink?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned. She couldn't drink much herself and she would not drink for she was pregnant now. So she replied, “Manager, I can't drink. What about getting someone who can drink to go with you?”

Manager Li looked at her and smiled. “It's okay, I will ask Liu Xiaodong to come along. He and I will take care of drinking, while you will be in charge of charming the person in charge of Shengyuan.”

In the past two weeks, Mu Tongrui had found a new job, got a new number and had a new circle of friends. After leaving Bei City, her life had taken on a whole new look.

Of course, Mu Tongrui knew what Li Hao meant by “charming”. It was to use the art of seduction.

She couldn't refuse as she just joined the company even though she was aware that it would be messy. As a salesperson, she might need to suffer a little.

After Li Hao entered the office, Li, a colleague sitting next to Mu Tongrui, whispered to her, “Tongrui, you should be careful tonight. Li Hao has treated this person in charge of Shengyuan to many meals, but still, he can't close the deal. I think Li Hao wants to use you to bewitch the person in charge of Shengyuan.”

“But, Li Hao can't force me if I don't want to, right?”

“Alas... It's not easy to do business now. You just joined the company, so you don't know yet. You will understand in the future. Particularly for female salespersons, it's either you're a good drinker, or you have a lot of connections, or you have to go all out. If it wasn't for the mortgage, no girls would ever want to be a salesperson. They have to bear with the fact that they might being taken advantage of by the men.”

Mu Tongrui thought about her future life and felt a little helpless.

Li asked, “Eh? Judging from your accent, you're not from S City, right? Where are you from?”

“Oh, I am from Bei City.”

“Why did you come to S City? Bei City is bigger than S City, and there are more opportunities there.”

Mu Tongrui didn't want to disclose further, so she just replied casually, “I completed my tertiary education in S city and I come from a poor family. I have decided to live in S city seeing that the price of housing and cost of living in Bei City are too high.”

“Oh, I see, you have to work hard then. Do you have a boyfriend?” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Mu Tongrui shook her head. “No.”

In the evening, Li Hao took Liu Xiaodong and Mu Tongrui to the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

As Li Hao entered the hotel, he said to them who were following behind him, “We must take down the person in charge of Shengyuan tonight. He's addressed as Mr. Miao. We talked many times before, and we're very close to sealing the deal. We’ve wasted a lot of time on this client, our previous efforts will be in vain if we still can't get him to sign the contract tonight! Xiaodong, you will drink with him later. It’s best to make him drunk, so that he will sign the contract in a daze. Tongrui, you will sweet talk him and make sure that he drinks later!”

Mu Tongrui had a headache as she felt the huge responsibility on her shoulders.

After the three of them entered the hotel, a luxurious and low-key black Maybach parked not far away, with its passenger watching them.

Inside the car, the man in the back seat was wearing an haute-couture suit with his hands folded casually on his legs, and a blank expression on his face.

Xu Kun glanced at Fu Lingye in the back seat from the rearview mirror and asked, “Boss, will something happen? Should we go over now?”

Fu Lingye pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Xu Kun glanced at Fu Lingye again. He looked calm and was not in a hurry at all.

After a long time, Fu Lingye spoke slowly, “She left me in such a hurry, I want to see how well she can lead her life.”

This was definitely not a word of praise or compliment. Xu Kun lamented secretly, Men in love are really petty.

However, the boss is right. He will capture Miss Mu's heart at once if he turns up when she is in the most desperate situation, right?

Miss Mu might follow the boss back to Bei City if help is given when it is most needed .
