Chapter 15
Three days later, the middle and high-ranking officials of the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc gathered again in the conference room.
Donald Qin arrived early and sat in his seat. He could not help but grin widely. He kept greeting the people around him excitedly, causing the scene to look very lively.
"Secretary Qin, it seems you are the clear winner this time."
"After successfully closing the deal this time, Secretary Qin will be promoted again. I'll congratulate Secretary Qin first."
"Secretary Qin indeed deserves to be one of the most important employee in our company. You are the right-hand man of President Lin!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Donald Qin displayed a look of modesty and greeted everyone with a smile, "I'm flattered. I just did a small job. It's my job to sign the contact with Pai's Chemicals. I myself can never take all the credit alone but instead all of us should share the credit." Donald Qin said.
Donald Qin inadvertently leaked the news that he had signed the contract successfully.
Naturally, there was another round of congratulations going around, interspersed by the sound of clapping and praising.
"No wonder he is Secretary Qin. He succeeded on the first try, just as we expected!"
"That's true. If there is Secretary Qin around, he can replace two people! No, he can replace ten people."
"Secretary Qin, you have to treat us tonight."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amidst the compliments, Quin Lin pushed the door open and walked in. Fade Chen was beside her, and he seemed to be talking to Quin Lin. There were traces of smiles on both of their faces.
Upon glimpsing them, Donald Qin, who had been grinning so happily, had the smile wiped off his face, his eyes showng a hint of coldness.
This was because, he had recently found out that Fade Chen and Quin Lin were getting closer and closer, and from time to time, he saw both of them chatting and laughing side by side in the company.
This made Donald Qin grow more hostile to Fade Chen. After all, Quin Lin is a famous beautiful bachelorette in Bay City, and countless men have feelings for her. Donald Qin was no exception. Although he knew that he had no chance to marry Quin Lin, at the bottom of his heart, he still held onto a sign of hope, hoping that he could find the opportunity to kiss her.
Previously, Donald Qin had hinted his feelings to Quin Lin several times, but each time she had evaded him, as if she didn't understand him. But now, Quin Lin, who had rejected him, was so close to Fade Chen.
This made Donald Qin very angry. He felt as if he had been humiliated, and his anger towards Fade Chen surged from the bottom of his heart.
However, he, who was very mindful, still forced a smile at them. He took the initiative to pull out a chair for Quin Lin and said with a respectful smile, "President Lin, please take a seat."
"Thank you!" Quin Lin smiled at Donald Qin politely. Then she pulled the chair on her left hand and then said to Fade Chen, "You can sit here!"
Fade Chen sat down without hesitation.
Such a situation made Donald Qin's cheeks twitch uncontrollably, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Since everyone is here. Let us start the meeting!" Quin Lin said.
As a result, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Fade Chen and Donald Qin. After all, today's meeting was held for the two of them. They wanted to see if both could close the deal with their respective counterparties.
Everyone knew that Donald Qin had succeeded in signing the contract with Pai's Chemicals. Therefore, they naturally casted their eyes on Fade Chen.
Donald Qin pretended to take out his contract and put it on the table inconspicuously. Then he deliberately said to Fade Chen, "A few days ago, Dr. Chen, you said that you wanted to sign a chemical contract with Xu's Chemicals. How is the progress?
After hearing Donald Qin's question, Fade Chen looked around and then patted his head. He stood up and said, "Sorry. I have forgotten my bag in the medical room. I'm going down to take it. Please wait a moment."
Fade Chen then rushed out of the conference room and went downstairs to get his bag.
This situation made the people did not favour Fade Chen murmur amongst themselves, shaking their heads.
"Fade Chen is too unreliable!"
"The meeting was held specially for him, but he forgot to bring his bag. He's too disorganized."
"As I said, we shouldn't have agreed to this ridiculous competition three days ago. At that time, we should have directly agreed with Secretary Qin, to proceed and sign the contract with Pai's Chemicals. There was no need to waste time."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing the situation Fade Chen was in, Donald Qin felt very confident and full of himself.
He turned to look at Quin Lin with a smile and said, "President Lin, I've worked with 18 people this time. I've been busy for three days and we have finally signed the contract."
"During the negotiation, President Liu heard that our company is negotiating with other companies. He has some opinions about it and has given us some additional conditions."
"I've negotiated with President Liu at length, and I finally convinced him to agree to the contract with more favorable terms than before." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"The main parts of this contract-"
Donald Qin couldn't wait to show off his achievements to Quin Lin.
However, before Donald Qin could finish, Quin Lin waved her hand and interrupted him, saying, "Secretary Qin today's meeting is for you and Dr. Chen. Let's talk about it when Dr. Chen comes!"
"Er---" Donald Qin felt ridiculed at being interrupted, his words were stuck in his throat, and this made him quite uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, Donald Qin lowered his head slightly to cover up the anger in his eyes. Then, he turned his head aside and quietly winked at the other supervisors and managers.
Several supervisors and managers sitting opposite him immediately understood his signal. They coughed and cleared their throats.
"President Lin, there's something I've been holding back for a few days. I don't know if I should tell you" a grey-haired man in his fifties said, looking at Quin Lin.
"Uncle Xie, please do continue," Quin Lin said politely to the man.
The man's name was Ronald Xie. He was an old man who joined the company when Quin Lin's father established the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Although his capabilities were mediocre, he had been in the company for a long time, and could be regarded as a founding member of the company.
Later, when Quin Lin took over as the head of the company, she carried out a massive reform of the company's personnel, and dismissed many old employees who were not performing well.
However, because of Ronald Xie's seniority, he was still quite influential in the company despite his mediocre capabilities. Hence, Quin Lin still kept Ronald Xie around, and assigned him a position as the deputy manager in ad department. He receives his monthly salary without having much to do in this role. This could be regarded as a way of taking care of the elders.
Although his position was very idle and powerless, Ronald Xie was after all, still an influential senior. Many middle and high ranking employees were very polite to him
