"I don't know what happened. I am surprised too that he didn't pick on us or complain about us being lazy like he normally did. I bet soone must have upset him before he ca to the office," Yuan Quan whispered back worriedly. Yifeng who saw them whispering behind his back was not in the mood to rebuke them, so he just let them be.
"How co I haven't seen him so gloomy even when I make him upset?" Yang Zi murmured taking a secret glance at Yifeng.
"Miss Yang, are you worried about Boss? If you are concerned about him, why not ask him what is wrong with him? I am sure that he will not get mad if you were the one to ask him," Yuan Quan suggested harmlessly but his words did not really go down well with Yang Zi. She completely forgot that they were whispering and shouted her answer aloud.
"What? Are you f*cking kidding ? Why should I ask him that? I am not even a bit worried about him. I was only curious, that's all, nothing more," Yang Zi shouted out loudly. It was then Yifeng realised what they were whispering to each other about.
"If you are not then why are you overreacting Miss Yang?" Yifeng asked, interrupting their little conversation.
"Boss, Yuan Quan and I were just discussing. We were not talking about you," Yang Zi tried to clarify herself, not knowing that she was putting herself into more trouble.
"I never said that you were talking about . Oh! Don't tell you and Yuan Quan were gossiping behind my back?" Yifeng questioned as if he caught them doing sothing bad red-handedly.
"Of course not Boss, Miss Yang and I were just discussing work. We were definitely not gossiping about you, am I right Miss Yang?" Yuan Quan lied as he quickly signalled Yang Zi to play along with his lies.
"Yeah, Yuan Quan is right. Our discussion was purely about work," Yang Zi said unwavering.
"Then why did you say that you were not worried about him and that you were only curious, nothing more? Who were you referring to?" Yifeng asked, not willing to back out too.
"Oh, that!" Yang Zi said, trying to co up with an excuse. "We were talking about Mr Xiao who got into an accident yesterday. He is one of our biggest clients. Yuan Quan suggested that I should visit him in the hospital, but I beca a little paranoid. That is why you heard shout," Yang Zi lied without batting an eye. Yuan Quan was dumbfounded when he heard the lie she ca up with within a split second. He did not know whether to be glad or displeased that she lied just to cover up what they were actually discussing.
"Are you sure that is what the both of you were discussing?" Yifeng who knew that they were both lying asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I am sure, Boss," Yang Zi replied firmly.
"Ok," Yifeng said displeased. Just when they were about to go back to what they previously doing, Yifeng called for her attention.
"Miss Yang, I have a job for you. I was supposed to sign a contract with Mr Nan today but I am not in the mood anymore so I want you to represent ....," Yifeng trailed. "You cannot co back without convincing him to sign the contract. You must do everything within your capability to make him sign our contracts. Consider yourself fired if you don't accomplish this mission," Yifeng ordered coldly.
"What? Mr Nan?" Yuan Quan asked rhetorically. "Boss you know very well that Mr Nan will never sign the contract with our company if you do not represent our company, so why are you giving Miss Yang such an impossible mission? Is it because you don't need her services, this is why you want to use this as an excuse to fire her? Boss if that is what you are planning then this is so unfair to Miss Yang," Yuan Quan said displeased as he frowned his face but his frowning did not change Yifeng's decision.
"It's none of my business if she is not capable enough to make him sign the contract and what about you Miss Yang? Do you have any sort of complaint like him too?" Yifeng asked. "The news of you convincing the President to sign a contract worth billion of dollars for the benefits of the citizens was all over the news one year ago so don't tell you will say you won't be able to convince a man who is not as conscious, distrustful or cunning as the President?" Yifeng asked harshly.
"I never said such a thing, Boss. There is one thing my friends know for and that is, 'Yang Zi has never for once conceded defeat'. You want to win Mr Nan over to our side instead of the Zhou's Corporation by making him sign the contract right, and that I will do," Yang Zi said firmly. "Just give three hours and I will bring the signed papers to you, but you must do a favour if I successfully make Mr Nan sign the contracts," Yang Zi said with confidence. She did not like the tone Yifeng used on her. To her, it sounded as if he was challenging her.
"That is the spirit, I love your confidence Miss Yang. As long as you can make him sign the contract, I will do whatever you want, but you must make him sign the papers first. Don't forget that you are fired if you fail," Yifeng chided.
"Ok, I gladly accept your challenge Boss but don't go back on your words. You will do whatever I want. Be it I want you to be my slave for a month or I want you to kneel for an entire day. You cannot go back on your words now that I have accepted your challenge. Be expecting soon," Yang Zi said sternly as she walked out with the envelope containing the contact. Yuan Quan, who was previously worried before, suddenly got energised when he saw how confident Yang Zi was. He quickly ran after her without wasting ti, but he couldn't accompany her since Yifeng prohibited him from doing so.
