chapter 19 Suppress ===

He didn't understand the life of a rich young lady. Changing cars was like changing toys for her. In his previous life, although he had some wealth, he definitely couldn't afford to change cars for fun. He pressed the accelerator and started the car to leave. Thorpe Chen drove to Gloria Ye's company. There was still some time before the end of the workday, so he waited to pick her up. Thorpe Chen sat down in the guest lounge on the first floor, planning to wait for a while. There were coffee and snacks in the lounge, provided for business guests. Thorpe Chen felt a bit hungry, so he took a cup of coffee and some snacks to eat. "Security, get that man out of here." The receptionist rolled her eyes upon seeing Thorpe Chen in the guest room. "Katie, who is that?" Two security guards asked. "That's Gloria Ye from the business department's useless husband. So shameless, relying on his wife every day and not working. Now he's here to freeload." The receptionist looked disdainful. "So it's him. I've heard of Gloria Ye from the business department. She's pretty and comes from a good family. How did she end up with someone like him?" The security guard understood immediately. "Don't worry, I'll kick him out." Thorpe Chen had just taken a sip of coffee when a security guard came over and tapped him on the shoulder. "What are you doing? Get out." "I'm waiting for my wife; she's about to finish work." Thorpe Chen swallowed his snack. "Wait outside. This is our client lounge. We host important clients here. You're damaging our company's image." The security guard pointed outside with his baton, as if shooing away trash. "If you're begging, do it outside. Our company doesn't let beggars in." "Who are you calling a beggar?" Thorpe Chen had already put his things down, planning to leave, but the security guard's comment angered him. "I'm talking about you." The security guard sneered, raising his baton. "Don't think I don't know who you are. Do you think our company is a place for trash like you? Leave now, or I won't be polite." " I didn't want to make things difficult for a mere worker like you, but if you want to run your mouth, don't blame me for being rude." Thorpe Chen coldly chuckled. "You're still talking? Watch me teach you a lesson." The security guard lifted his baton and aimed for Thorpe Chen. Thorpe Chen dodged swiftly, passing the man, and quickly pressed a point near the man's tailbone. "If you have guts, don't dodge. I'll make you cry and beg today." The security guard turned to point at Thorpe Chen. "If I were you, I'd hurry to the bathroom." Thorpe Chen smiled faintly. "What did you say?" As the security guard spoke, his face changed because he felt an intense urge in his abdomen. "You, wait for me." The security guard screamed, turning and running towards the restroom. But he couldn't control his bowels, and a loud fart echoed, followed by a foul smell. Everyone around was stunned. The front desk and security, representing the company's image, had been utterly disgraced by the incident. Thorpe Chen laughed coldly. He had lightly punished the guard, ensuring he wouldn't control himself for the next three days. This was a lesson so he would be more careful in the future. Just as Thorpe Chen sat down, a commotion emerged from the adjacent meeting room. The noise sounded like Gloria Ye's voice, so he quickly went out and peered through the semi-transparent glass of the meeting room. Inside, a beefy-faced man in a suit, whose hair looked as if it had been licked by a dog, held a proposal and was yelling at Gloria Ye. "Is this the proposal you're most proud of? What you've done is shit, do you know that? Do you know the main branch of Yibo Group? Do you know how important this client is to us?" "A 20 million order, and you submit this kind of proposal? Are you trying to make us lose this client forever?" "Manager Wang, I truly put my heart into this proposal. I'm confident in securing this deal." In her work, Gloria Ye never backed down. "Koko, Manager Wang, I just glanced at her proposal a moment ago. If we submit her proposal, it will make our company look like we have no one other than me in charge of the group." A seductive woman with alluring eyes fanned the flames on the side. "Miya Li, on what basis do you judge my proposal? In terms of performance, I'm at the top every year. If you have the ability, let our work do the talking." Gloria Ye said angrily. “Based on capabilities, you were far behind me.” Miya Li rolled her eyes: “Manager Wang, I had acquaintances over at Yibo Group. Why don't you let me handle this deal? I promise I can secure it.” “Miya Li, you were blatantly snatching orders. I have been following up with Yibo Group for a long time. I understood their company well and was confident about securing this deal.” Gloria Ye exclaimed in anger. “Heh, who doesn't know how to boast?” Miya Li sneered, “Gloria Ye, our company’s orders were decreasing, and finances were tight. Don’t lose the Yibo Group deal in your eagerness to snatch it. Do you realize this involves a 20 million deal?” “Hmph, Gloria Ye, Miya Li had more experience than you, and her proposal was better. For safety, this order will be handed to Miya Li. We just recruited a batch of new employees; you can go help in the training department.” Qi Wang said with a smirk. Gloria Ye’s face changed slightly. What Qi Wang implied was a demotion for her. Currently, she is the team leader of the sales department. Both she and Li were competing for the vacant supervisor position. She got to this point based on her capabilities. As for Miya Li? She got there by flaunting her looks and bedroom skills, but Gloria didn't have the upper hand against cunning Miya. “Give me three days, and I will put Yibo’s contract right in front of you.” Gloria Ye gritted her teeth, deciding to take a risk. “Three days? Gloria Ye, are you making a military pledge?” Qi Wang looked at Gloria Ye sideways, “What if you can’t secure the order in three days?” “I’d willingly go to the training department,” Gloria Ye lifted her head high. “If you can’t get it in three days, you'll be a janitor in the restroom,” Qi Wang declared. “Fine, I stand by my words,” Gloria Ye gritted her teeth. “Hahaha, Gloria Ye, you must be mad. Do you know who owns Yibo Group's parent company? One of the four big families in Fengling City, the Lin family, their assets were substantial,” Miya Li laughed heartily, “In Fengling, there were companies stronger than Jiyun Group, with more credentials to execute this project. If you can’t secure it in three days, get ready to clean restrooms.” “This was your doing,” Qi Wang threw her proposal on the floor. “No need for three days; 30 minutes should suffice,” Thorpe Chen entered. “Thorpe Chen, why are you here?” Gloria Ye was startled. “Who are you?” Qi Wang was enraged. “Boss Wang, he was Gloria Ye's good-for-nothing husband. Haven’t you heard? He gambles, drinks, flirts, and then goes home to hit his wife. Gloria Ye was out of her mind to be with someone like him,” Miya Li feigned surprise, then scoffed. “Oh, so it was you. I heard about you.” Qi Wang was taken aback, “What did you just say?” “I said, in half an hour, I will secure Yibo Group's order. If not, my wife and I will clean your company's restrooms voluntarily,” Thorpe Chen stated firmly. “Thorpe Chen, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense,” Gloria Ye panicked. “Haha, fine, half an hour then,” Qi Wang and Miya Li laughed aloud, “Thorpe Chen, you are truly assisting your teammate in digging her grave. If the contract isn't signed in half an hour, get ready to clean the restrooms.” “The timer starts now.” Thorpe Chen pulled Gloria Ye out. “Thorpe Chen, what are you doing?” Gloria Ye was so anxious that tears flowed, “Yibo Group is a huge company. How could it be settled in 30 minutes? Do you know how much effort I put into this project? You ruined all my plans.”
