I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3362: Chapter 3354: Zhang Ying’s Despicable Tactics

Lin Yi’s words left Chen Lin dumbfounded.

"She’s only in her early thirties, at the prime of her life, and she’s a woman. How could she be weak?"

"When she shook hands with me, her palms were sweaty. That’s definitely weak, no need to say more."

Chen Lin was a bit at a loss whether to cry or laugh. Lin Yi’s points of focus were always so peculiar.

The so-called visit didn’t have a strict itinerary.

The main aim was for both parties to meet and get acquainted, as visiting the headquarters required everyone to cooperate at work.

"Do any of you have any opinions about the itinerary for this trip?"

Wang Heng asked,

"The main purpose of arranging such an event by the regional office is to further enhance brand awareness. So you’re going with a mission this time."

"We will definitely do our best, but it’s hard to say what the actual effect will be," Xu Yang said.

"The internet nowadays is too weird. Hard work does not necessarily guarantee results, but a careless move might make you a fortune."

"The internet is a double-edged sword; it can give you fame overnight, or ruin your reputation in an instant," Zhao Chunlei said,

"In the previous ice cream incident, their reputation was shattered overnight. I heard more than a dozen executives in the region were dismissed, leaving chaos everywhere."

"But even so, one must still do their job diligently," Wang Heng said.

"On the surface, logic is a double-edged sword, but fundamentally, it’s quantitative changes that lead to qualitative changes."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Wang Heng’s point.

"Lin Yi, don’t keep silent. You always have ideas. It’s time to show your abilities."

"Director Wang is flattering me," Lin Yi said.

"However, I think pure promotion is indeed not very useful. As long as we outperform the other two, we achieve our goal, as our competitors are only those two."

"But the problem is how do we compete? There seems to be no opportunity."

"We can’t rush this, we’ll have to take it step by step."

Wang Heng nodded. He knew that finding a solution was not a matter of casual thinking.

Moreover, today’s meeting was not to discuss this issue.

"Let’s hold off on the work discussion. You two can look around here, or explore the nearby area. Dinner is at six, we’ll go together then."

Chen Lin instinctively looked at Lin Yi.

Wang Heng also noticed her slight movement.

"What’s wrong?"

"Leader, I have something to do tonight, so I won’t be going."

"Something tonight?"

Wang Heng looked at Lin Yi.

"You’re not still bothered about what happened a few days ago, are you? Don’t overthink it; it’s all in the past, otherwise you wouldn’t be on the list for visiting the headquarters."

"Alright then."

Since Wang Heng had said this, Lin Yi couldn’t afford to embarrass him and had to agree.

After Wang Heng left, the atmosphere lightened up.

"President Chen, Assistant Lin, you’ve come a long way, let me show you around the store."

"Thank you, President Zhao."

The group walked out of the store.

They chatted about inconsequential topics, and gathered some understanding of the store’s situation and marketing model.

Chen Lin listened attentively, absorbing many useful suggestions.

After a brief walk around, Chen Lin found an excuse to part with them.

They still had work, and she couldn’t waste too much of their time.

Plus, it made her feel uncomfortable.

"There’s a pancake stand nearby. Do you want one?"

As they walked out of the 4S shop’s courtyard, Lin Yi asked.

"I am a bit hungry, but I can’t finish one."

"Go ahead and eat. Whatever’s left, give it to me."

"You don’t mind?"

"As long as there’s no lipstick on it."

"When you first started working, I thought you were a playboy. Now I realize I misunderstood you," Chen Lin said.

"Clearly you’re married with kids; you don’t indulge in any flirtations at all."

"Isn’t it possible that your appearance and figure don’t match my taste?"

"Get lost, go buy the food."

"Haha..."

Lin Yi laughed and went to buy the pancakes.

No one acted gentlemanly, they sat by the roadside, having a small bite to fill their stomachs.

About an hour later, when the agreed time arrived, Zhao Chunlei drove them to the hotel.

The dining place was a rather exquisite Lu Cuisine Restaurant.

The decor was very upscale, indicating it wasn’t cheap.

Once in the private room, Lin Yi played on his phone with a blank expression, prompting Chen Lin to remind him, "When we eat, don’t just play with your phone."

"Don’t worry, I know my limits."

"Lin Bro, are you still worried about President Zhang’s issue?" Han Xu teased.

"You all know about it too?"

"This spread from the region. We initially didn’t believe it, but after seeing you, we think it might be true."

"If not for Director Wang’s sake, I wouldn’t have come."

"True, but it wouldn’t be appropriate not to come to such an important occasion."

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it; otherwise, I wouldn’t have argued with her."

As they were talking, footsteps approached.

One after another, seven or eight people came in, led by Zhang Ying.

She entered with a full smile.

But as soon as she saw Lin Yi, her expression suddenly became serious.

Zhao Chunlei and Chen Lin were the first to stand and greet her.

After a few courteous exchanges, everyone sat down and moved on to the ordering phase.

After all procedures were completed, Zhang Ying glanced at everyone present.

"There is a matter I forgot to mention earlier; there’s been a slight change in the headquarters visit list."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, instinctively looking at Zhang Ying.

"Does President Zhang want to take someone else?"

Wang Heng asked, clearly unaware of this development.

"Not adding anyone new; it’s just a personnel change."

Zhang Ying looked at Lin Yi, then at Zhao Chunlei.

"Little Zhao, this time you will replace Lin Yi in the headquarters visit."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed.

Nobody expected such a change.

Although Zhao Chunlei was the head of the 4S store, he had already visited once before.

Moreover, someone needed to stay to manage the store; both couldn’t leave.

Besides, Lin Yi’s spot was canceled, making the move seem even more puzzling.

Soon, everyone understood what was going on.

Especially Wang Heng, whose face looked displeased.

Earlier in the day, he said things were over; he didn’t expect her to still hold a grudge and make things difficult for Lin Yi at this moment.

As a leader, such actions were somewhat excessive.

"Lin Yi."

Zhang Ying spoke to Lin Yi, saying,

"I forgot to mention this earlier, sorry for making you come all this way for nothing. So, this meal’s on us, don’t stay, just head back."
