Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

As their mouths were busy, his hands didn’t rest for a moment. Her A-line skirt gave him easy access, allowing his hand to roam over the entire length of her smooth, snow-white thigh, from her ankle all the way to the top.

A car approached in the distance, its headlights cutting through the windshield and flooding the interior. Yang Hui, who had been leaning over her, finally pulled away. Xia Jie, her face flushed as red as a peach blossom in March, hastily pulled up the lace panties dangling around her ankle.

’If they weren’t in the car right now, she would’ve been completely devoured.’ It was a shame they were in the front seats. It was her first time, and Yang Hui didn’t want to rush things. Otherwise, he would have definitely pulled her into the back. The rear of the Mercedes E-Class had decent space; it would be a tight squeeze, but it was doable.

Back at Futong Commerce, Zhang Li was the only one left in the office. Xia Jie could tell he was in a bad mood, which was likely because Li Yang had personally tasked him with managing the NLB account.

When he saw Xia Jie return, he forced a smile. "Xia Jie, I’m really sorry about what happened today. After you leave, you have to keep working hard. It’s not easy to find a job out there, so don’t be too picky. Even if the pay is a little worse than at Futong Commerce, you should take the first opportunity you get. After all, there aren’t many big companies like us around."

Xia Jie just smiled. "Thanks."

Zhang Li sensed a hint of sarcasm in her smile and couldn’t help but shake his head.

’Looks like she still hasn’t accepted it. This is what happens when you’ve never been beaten down by the real world. She feels wronged by the company, so now she’s probably thinking, "I, Xia Jie, will definitely do better on my own than I ever did here." The dream is beautiful, but reality is brutal. If sheer will was all it took to solve problems, then everyone would be a success.’

"Oh, right. Xia Jie, can you do me a favor? Do one last good deed for the team before you go."

"What is it?" She was kind-hearted, and figured she could help if it was a simple task. Though she looked down on people like Zhang Li, she didn’t hate him.

"It’s about that betting agreement President Li demanded. Since you’re still officially with the company this afternoon, could you go to the stores and brief them on it today?"

Xia Jie nearly threw up from disgust. ’He really makes other people do all his dirty work.’ The very reason Li Yang had forced her out of the company was her firm opposition to this plan. How could she possibly help Zhang Li with it now? The man had some nerve.

She scoffed, ignoring him completely. Grabbing her employee ID and other personal items, she headed to the administration office to turn them in.

Seeing her ignore him, Zhang Li shouted after her, "Don’t burn your bridges! If an opportunity comes up later, I can get you back into the company."

Xia Jie walked away without a backward glance. ’Come back? Why would I ever come back? The future is already here. Why would I ever give this place a second thought?’

Yang Hui didn’t go upstairs. After dropping Xia Jie off at her company, he turned the car around and headed back to the Xinyue Square store. It was almost 15:30, and he had a meeting with Huang Lingyu at 16:00.

He took the elevator up from the underground parking garage. Since the exit opened directly opposite the NLB Store, he instinctively glanced inside and was surprised to see a familiar face.

Serene was inside, browsing the clothes. The sales staff didn’t recognize her, so they had no idea if she was making an undercover visit or just shopping. He decided to simply stand outside and wait for her.

Dressed in a form-fitting black dress, she stood where the light met the shadow. The satin fabric rose and fell with each breath, stretching taut over the striking curve of her waist and hips. Her hourglass figure, sculpted by dedicated workouts, gave the simple dress an aggressive beauty.

Her lightly made-up face had a pure, natural glow. The sway of her perfectly rounded hips as she turned sent his heart racing, even from outside. This woman had delicate features and an explosive figure. She was a true temptress.

A smiling sales associate led her to the fitting rooms, forcing him to finally tear his eyes away. ’I didn’t expect her to visit so often. Isn’t she busy over in Shanghai?’

He didn’t know that when the store’s second-day sales figures reached NLB China Headquarters, even the top boss was stunned. At this level of performance, if dealers across the country could achieve even half this standard, the NLB China Region’s sales volume would double. That was why Serene was here. It wasn’t just her personal desire to investigate the huge performance gap between Yanghe Commerce and Futong Commerce. The head of NLB’s China region also wanted to quickly understand the reasons behind their success, identify which parts could be replicated, and roll them out nationwide.

About five minutes later, he saw Serene emerge, chatting with the sales associate. She handed over the clothes she’d picked out for the associate to ring her up.

Yang Hui didn’t go inside to get her a discount. ’A woman who drives a Land Rover isn’t hurting for cash.’ He figured she might not even wear the clothes. She probably just felt bad for taking up the salesperson’s time and bought a few pieces to boost their sales numbers as compensation.

Serene took a quick look at the VIP lounge. She came out holding a cup of freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee and carrying her shopping bag, escorted by the sales associate all the way to the exit, where she spotted Yang Hui standing nearby.

"Congratulations, President Yang!"

"This is just the beginning. It’s a little early for congratulations. The next step is to rapidly promote and replicate this model. Once the number of stores grows, it won’t just be my success—we’ll both have reason to celebrate."

By "celebrate," he meant that he would make a fortune, and Serene’s KPIs would look outstanding.

Serene nodded. "I’m looking forward to seeing the performance of the next stores that open."
