Chapter 131: Promoted to Sales Manager

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Promoted to Sales ManagerWith that call to "Grandpa," Xu Jun’s entire worldview crumbled.

His pride, which he had always taken pride in, was mercilessly trampled under Ye Xuan’s feet, becoming worthless.

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing Xu Jun call Ye Xuan "Grandpa," many could no longer hold back their laughter, which filled the room.

Gone were the previous flatteries that accompanied him.

Though many tried hard to suppress their laughter, it still reached Xu Jun’s ears, the piercing sound making his face turn beet red, as if he was being slapped relentlessly.

However, what Ye Xuan said next turned his face from red to black.

"Is that how you call someone ’Grandpa’? There’s no sincerity at all. Kneel down and say it," said Ye Xuan, not buying his act in the slightest.

"You..."

Xu Jun felt an immense humiliation, as if his chest was on fire, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, and his eyes shooting flames.

To be made to call someone "Grandpa" was already a great insult! To kneel in front of so many people was simply impossible.

"What’s the matter? The mighty Manager Xu, daring to gamble but not to admit his loss?"

Ye Xuan glanced at him sideways with a mocking tone.

"Hmph, keep dreaming, I will not kneel..."

Xu Jun said sternly, trying to maintain his dignity.

Thud!

But before he could finish, his knees gave way and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Grandpa..."

Not only did he kneel, but the words "Grandpa" also slipped from his mouth.

Xu Jun was dumbfounded.

He didn’t understand what was happening at all.

"Louder, I didn’t hear you," said Ye Xuan as he dug his ear.

"GRANDPA!!!"

The two words were practically a roar.

Xu Jun wanted to vomit blood in frustration because he genuinely didn’t understand how he had shouted it out.

He felt as if he was under hypnosis, involuntarily doing whatever the other person said!

Hahahaha!

Seeing Xu Jun kneeling on the ground, those who were holding back their laughter couldn’t contain it any longer.

In that moment, Xu Jun became a laughingstock.

"Give it up, I’m incredibly handsome—it’s earth-shattering. There aren’t any ugly toads like you around me," Ye Xuan said to him with a grin, making a bold statement.

Pfft!

Xu Jun was so furious he almost spat blood, his eyes rolling back, looking indeed like a toad.

He finally understood how Zhou Yu could have been angered to death!

Standing up awkwardly, Xu Jun, whose attempt to steal a chicken only resulted in losing the rice, shot Ye Xuan a fierce glare before preparing to leave.

"Stop, did I say you could leave?" Ye Xuan called out to him.

"What else do you want?" Xu Jun said angrily.

"Manager Xu seems to be a forgetful person. Don’t you remember that there was another condition in our bet? If my performance exceeded yours, you would become a security guard, and I would take your position as sales manager," said Ye Xuan as he walked over and patted his shoulder with a playful look.

Xu Jun coldly looked at Ye Xuan and disdainfully said, "Hmph, don’t get greedy! Even if your performance surpasses mine, a mere security guard has no right to sit in the sales manager’s position..."

Before he could finish, a cold voice interrupted, "Who says he has no right?"

Lin Tong walked over, looking down on Xu Jun with a slight curl of her red lips.

Ye Xuan had mentioned this to her before, but she always thought it was just him boasting.

Now, she saw clearly that Xu Jun was specifically targeting Ye Xuan, and this bet was a trap.

Since he wanted to set up her husband, naturally, she couldn’t keep him around any longer.

"CEO, Ye Xuan is just a security guard, and if he managed to close this deal it must be pure luck. At Eastern Group, the position of sales manager is crucial. How could we let someone like that take on the role?"

Xu Jun spoke righteously as though everything he said was for the company’s sake.

Upon hearing this, everyone had an expression as if they were looking at an idiot.

Good luck alone can land a deal worth a billion?

And also win over the chairman of the Huating Group?

"Manager Xu, you’re right, the role of sales manager is indeed important to the company, which is precisely why we cannot let someone like you do it!"

Lin Tong looked at him with a cold face, her red lips curling slightly: "That’s why you’re dismissed! Ye Xuan will take over as sales manager, and you can go report to the security department."

What?

Xu Jun’s face was full of confusion, unable to believe his ears.

"CEO, are you mistaken? I’ve been with the company for years, and he’s just a security guard who’s only been here for a few days. How can he take over as sales manager?"

Xu Jun said obsequiously, with a face full of flattery.

"I’m not mistaken! Xu Jun, you have been dismissed. Go report to the security department now."

Lin Tong’s tone was clear and unemotional.

Seeing that Lin Tong did not appear to be joking, Xu Jun was completely dumbfounded.

He had believed that this bet would totally drive Ye Xuan out of the Eastern Group and that he would ascend to the position of Director of Sales, reaching the pinnacle of his career!

Instead, he not only lost to the other side, but he couldn’t even sit as the sales manager anymore, and had to become a security guard?

The stark contrast made his vision go dark, and he almost fainted.

Watching Xu Jun leave in a daze, the crowd sighed.

This uncle-and-nephew duo, one assigned to be a warehouse manager and the other a security guard, both dismissed for offending Ye Xuan.

If someone said this kid didn’t have a powerful backer, they would never believe it.

At that moment, Lin Tong also invited Xiaoyun over to talk in detail about the cooperation.

"Mr. Ye, CEO Xie also instructed, if you have time, please come over for tea. Please honor us with your presence," Xiaoyun respectfully said as she was about to leave.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat again.

Did they hear that right? The powerful Xie Huang actually inviting Ye Xuan for tea!

No one would believe this if it were told.

"No, I don’t have the time," Ye Xuan flatly refused.

Pfft!

The crowd was collectively taken aback.

Xie Huang invites you for tea, and you actually refuse?

This pretense is just top-notch!

Then, Ye Xuan changed the subject, chuckled and said, "Of course, if it’s good tea then it’s a different story. Tell old Xie to prepare some more of that original tree Da Hong Pao. Today’s tea was just too inferior, not fitting for his status at all."

"Okay, I’ll be sure to let you know when the time comes."

Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched, thinking to herself, too inferior, yet you still helped yourself to so much?

Of course, she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts. To avoid offending the esteemed Ye Xuan, she quickly followed Lin Tong to leave.

After Lin Tong and Xiaoyun had left, quite a few people gathered around Ye Xuan.

"Manager Ye, congratulations on your continued rise!"

"Ahem...Manager Ye, please forgive any past offenses and do us the kindness of overlooking them!"

"In the future, we hope Manager Ye will lead the sales department to glory."

The bunch of them started to butter him up.

This time, signing a billion-dollar deal had made Ye Xuan completely standout.

Not only did he stomp Xu Jun down, but he also took over the position of sales manager, effectively becoming their new direct superior!

New officials make changes; everyone wanted to make a good impression in front of Ye Xuan.

"Everybody, we’ll all be colleagues in the same department now, we should help each other and strive to improve together,"

Ye Xuan politely responded with some customary pleasantries.

Checking the time and seeing it was about right, he left with Yuan Mengmeng to have lunch.
