I am not just a tycoon

Meanwhile, inside the Jaguar Land Rover 4S Store.

Chen Na had just finished attending to a customer when Zeng Xianyong summoned her to his office.

Looking at the face in front of her, bloated with fat, and recalling the distasteful words he had said the day before, a flicker of disgust passed through Chen Na's eyes.

"Chen Na, you should know why I called you up here, right?"

Zeng Xianyong pointed to the several scratches on his face. "This is your boyfriend's handiwork."

"I broke up with him long ago; there is no relationship whatsoever."

"If you are injured, you should find him."

Chen Na did not give Zeng Xianyong a chance to push further. She guessed what Zeng Xianyong would do next—it was nothing more than to use this as a threat and then repeat yesterday's demands.

He really is a despicable man!

If Zeng Xianyong were not her direct superior, she would have lashed out at him long ago.

"Chen Na, what you just said isn't right. There's a rightful claimant for every debt; if it weren't for you, would I have been beaten up for no reason?"

Zeng Xianyong certainly knew she had already broken up with the other party. Yesterday, after a fight, they befriended each other, and the man had laid out the whole situation.

Knowing that they had broken up, he saw an opportunity to make his move.

Zeng Xianyong looked Chen Na up and down. At that moment, she was wearing the store's uniform: a white shirt on top and a blue pencil skirt paired with black tights below, accentuating her shapely figure perfectly.

Especially those long legs and that perky rear!

This woman was indeed attractive!

Some women expose the flaws in their figures when they wear such clothes, but Chen Na, in this outfit, epitomized what a true professional office lady looked like!

"What does your fight have to do with me?"

"Besides, when you sat down yesterday, I had already told you I was waiting for someone, yet you insisted on joining me."

Chen Na spoke bluntly, finding Zeng Xianyong truly ridiculous. If he hadn't been driven by lust, yesterday's incident would never have happened.

"Still so tough-tongued."

Zeng Xianyong said with a smile, "Since you deserted your post yesterday afternoon causing a customer to be unattended in the showroom, I am now suspending you from receiving customers for the rest of the month."

"Come back to me when you've thought things through."

Chen Na was stunned; what a ridiculous reason! She had clearly taken leave yesterday.

For a 4S store salesperson, being stopped from receiving customers effectively meant stopping her income. Being stopped for a couple of days might not feel significant, but if it continued, without referrals from old customers, it would mean she could only earn a base salary.

As is well-known, the base salaries in 4S stores are notoriously low; for example, their store was only 1200.

1200 wasn't even enough to cover the rent!

Zeng Xianyong, seeing Chen Na still dazed in place, tapped the desk. "Alright, you can go now. Come back to me when you've thought it over."

"Why should I? I took leave yesterday afternoon," Chen Na protested.

"Why?"

Zeng Xianyong chuckled to himself, thinking that Chen Na still didn't understand the situation: "Simply because I am the general manager of this store, and I have the final say here."

Zeng Xianyong sat upright with a resolute pose, very satisfied with how he wielded his power.

Dealing with such a woman, since merely being accommodating had no effect, he could try a combination of hard and soft tactics. Perhaps he might achieve some unexpected results.

Zeng Xianyong was also quite familiar with the personal circumstances of his subordinates, knowing well their family backgrounds and what cars they drove.

Perhaps an employee from a privileged background might resign under these circumstances, but most sales staff came from modest backgrounds, including Chen Na from a typical working-class family.

"You've really let being a lousy general manager get to your head!"

"It's just a lousy job. I might as well quit!"

At that moment, Chen Na could no longer contain her patient temperament—it all burst out. The more she endured, the angrier she got, and the more she stepped back, the more she felt at a loss, especially since Zeng Xianyong was being so unreasonable.

Zeng Xianyong's pupils suddenly constricted.

As general manager for so long, it was the first time a subordinate had confronted him like this. He said with a dark face, "Chen Na, I advise you to think this through."

"I've thought it through—I quit!"

Chen Na slammed the door and left. This crappy job was too stressful, and sometimes she even had to put up with mistreatment.

Especially with such a sleazy leader!

It was just a job, after all!

She could always find another one!

If it had been before, she might have endured it since she wasn't new to the workforce and had passed the age of impulsiveness. She would have considered all factors.

But now it was different. Just yesterday, Shen Yuan had offered to invest 300,000 to help her open a coffee shop, offering her a stable salary each month, free from stress and with easier work.

Might as well be a canary then!

At least Shen Yuan was young and handsome—certainly better than facing this dead fat pig every day!

After leaving Zeng Xianyong's office, Chen Na still felt unsatisfied. She also planned to expose the dirty deeds Zeng Xianyong had done. The chat records were all on her phone—she edited them and was ready to post a short exposé.

Let's see how he would explain that!

Thinking this, Chen Na sent a WeChat message to Shen Yuan: "I'm ready to resign. Does your offer from yesterday still stand?"

Zeng Xianyong was somewhat dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Chen Na to be so fiery, to just quit on the spot like that.

He had thought about tightening his grip on Chen Na.

Normally, this kind of mix of soft and hard tactics would lead to a compromise in the end.

But she wasn't biting at all!

Now, it was he who was anxious. He wondered what would happen if Chen Na, in her fury, decided to make everything public.

Continue your journey on empire

Although the company was still holding onto one month of her salary, a cornered dog would leap over a wall.

In Star City, there were several large WeChat groups for the auto industry, with sales and management from the main brands all in the group. If Chen Na sent those chat logs to the group, his reputation could be ruined in an instant!

Now, in the era of short videos, information spread rapidly—not to mention this kind of gossip about a boss harassing a subordinate. Even his own wife might come across this gossip in the homeowners' association chat group.

It was very likely that the corporate executives might fire him due to the negative impact.

That would really be both his career and family collapsing!

Thinking of these possibilities, Zeng Xianyong felt a chill down his spine. It seemed he really had pushed her too hard.

Meanwhile, after having dinner with his family at Nanjing Restaurant, Shen Yuan was about to head back to school. His phone pinged. Opening it, he was surprised to find a WeChat message from Chen Na.

Seeing the content Chen Na had sent, the corners of Shen Yuan's mouth unconsciously turned upwards a bit.

It seems Chen Na made her decision quickly.

That was good, the remaining 300,000 wouldn't need to be invested elsewhere.

Investment was one aspect, but what Shen Yuan valued more now was the reward for a female NPC's Feel-good Index exceeding 90.

Just last night, Fang Minhui had exploded with a 90 Feel-good Index reward, so maybe there would be even richer rewards at 95 or 100!

Therefore, he urgently needed more female NPCs to create rewards for him.

Shen Yuan had a feeling that since Chen Na had agreed to his investment, she probably also tacitly approved his other intentions.

Although Chen Na's Feel-good Index for him was currently only in the 60s, feelings were something that could be cultivated slowly!
