Chapter 55 Three Minutes
Chen Xuan sneered.
A true dragon stood before you, yet you failed to see it. That is only because you are blind.
Zhang Mengqi felt displeased and continued, "Of course, if you could become someone like our backer, the Sun family, it's not just about being my boyfriend, I'd even be willing to be your mistress."
Saying that, she shook her head, "Unfortunately, you are not! You're just a poor loser!"
The Sun family?
Chen Xuan smacked his forehead. How could he have forgotten this? The Sun family was the king of medicinal ingredients, how could they not find old medicines?
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Zhang Mengqi lost the satisfaction of provoking him and said, "Chen Xuan, I heard Li Jiajia gave you a cuckold for three years. You can tolerate this? Are you the legendary Ninja Turtle?"
Chen Xuan's expression turned cold.
Although Chen Xuan no longer cared about this matter, it was not for others to insult him by picking at his scars!
He immediately dialed Sun Changshan's number, then looked coldly at Zhang Mengqi and angrily said, "How can the Sun family hire someone like you, someone with dog-like eyes who looks down on others and spews filth? I will find your manager and have a good talk with them!"
"You green-hatted turtle, how dare you curse me?"
Zhang Mengqi immediately became furious and yelled at the security guard standing at the store entrance, "Guard, guard, this guy is here to cause trouble, beat him to death!"
Yesterday evening, many strange things happened at the Qian family, and the news had already spread. Those who didn't know thought it was a coincidence, but Sun Changshan knew that all of it was because of Chen Xuan!
Sun Changshan's admiration for Chen Xuan had reached a new height. He was just thinking about how to curry favor with Chen Xuan when he unexpectedly received Chen Xuan's call.
His face lit up, and he quickly answered the call, sheepishly saying, "Master Chen, why do you have time to call me?"
Chen Xuan said coldly, "Sun Changshan, is Jinyuan Pharmacy your Sun family's pharmacy?"
Sun Changshan was stunned and quickly nodded, "It is our Sun family's pharmacy. Does Master Chen need any medicinal ingredients? I'll immediately send someone to deliver them to your home."
Chen Xuan continued, "I am at Jinyuan Pharmacy now. Within three minutes, you will appear before me!"
Hearing Chen Xuan's displeased tone, Sun Changshan trembled and said decisively, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll be right there!"
Sun Changshan cautiously asked, "Did our Sun family offend you in any way?"
"You have two minutes and fifty seconds left!"
Hearing the content of Chen Xuan's phone call, Zhang Mengqi immediately laughed and sarcastically said, "Chen Xuan, what are you pretending for? Our General Manager Sun isn't someone you can just call around as a poor loser!"
Chen Xuan glanced at Zhang Mengqi's nauseating heavy makeup and ignored her further, saying, "Whether I'm pretending or not, you'll know in three minutes."
Zhang Mengqi laughed heartily and said to Chen Xuan, "Green-hatted turtle, I see you've had a tough time these past few years. Big sister will wait for you for three minutes. If our General Manager Sun doesn't show up after three minutes, I'll have you crawl out of here!"
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Sun Changshan, still in his pajamas, rushed into Xinyuan Pharmacy in a panic.
When had Sun Changshan not been in a suit and tie? When had he ever appeared dressed like this?
The store clerks were stunned at first, and only after a moment did they recognize Sun Changshan, their bodies stiffening, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Mengqi was about to continue mocking Chen Xuan, but suddenly saw the store clerks and security guards next to her frozen in shock, their faces filled with dread.
She abruptly turned her head and followed the gazes of everyone around her. Seeing Sun Changshan, covered in sweat, she was struck by lightning!
She then looked at Chen Xuan, her eyes widening like saucers, and exclaimed in disbelief, "You... you..."
She stammered "you" for a long time but couldn't finish her sentence.
Sun Changshan bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you came to the store without informing us. What do you want? I'll have people deliver it directly to your home."
Everyone around was stunned. Sun Changshan was the king of medicinal ingredients, a man whose stomp could make the Jiangzhou medical community tremble. Yet, he was so respectful to Chen Xuan, who was dressed in cheap clothes!
The gazes of those around them fell back on Chen Xuan. What was the identity of this ordinary-looking young man?
Although Zhang Mengqi didn't know why Chen Xuan, who had been cuckolded, was treated with such respect by Sun Changshan, it was a fact.
Sun Changshan was the king of medicinal ingredients, and his words could cost her her job. What if Chen Xuan sought revenge for her mocking him earlier?
She quickly put on a charming smile and said, "Classmate Chen Xuan, you should have said so earlier. You could have sent me a WeChat message, and I would have personally delivered it to you. I'll make sure to dress up nicely. You must tell me what kind of clothing you like!"
As she spoke, she even winked at Chen Xuan, her previous snobbery completely gone, as if she were a different person.
Sun Changshan, misunderstanding Zhang Mengqi's intentions, smiled and asked, "Oh? Xiao Qi, you are Mr. Chen's classmate?"
Zhang Mengqi quickly nodded, "Yes, General Manager Sun. Chen Xuan and I are old classmates, and we used to have a good relationship. Our relationship might even become better in the future."
As she spoke, Zhang Mengqi even nudged her ample bosom against Chen Xuan.
Sun Changshan misunderstood Zhang Mengqi's relationship with Chen Xuan and immediately said, "There's a pharmacy that just opened on Kaiyuan Road. We happen to need a store manager. Tomorrow, you'll be transferred there to be the store manager."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mengqi was so excited she almost jumped up.
She was just a regular store clerk, earning only a little over four thousand yuan a month. If she became a store manager, she could earn over ten thousand yuan a month.
To be eligible for the store manager position, one needed at least three years of work experience in the store and to have won the "Outstanding Employee of the Year" award at least once.
This single sentence allowed her to skip three years of struggle.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan said expressionlessly, "Sun Changshan, do you know why I asked you to come?"
Sun Changshan thought that making Zhang Mengqi a store manager was too low a position, so he said, "If Mr. Chen is not satisfied, I'll have Mengqi go directly to headquarters as a sales supervisor."
Chen Xuan said coldly, "Earlier, I came just to ask if you had any old medicines for sale, and Zhang Mengqi, simply because I was dressed ordinarily, not only wanted to kick me out but also insulted me with her words."
Sun Changshan's heart sank.
He had tried to flatter the dragon but ended up stepping on its claw!
Sun Changshan raised his hand and slapped Zhang Mengqi across the face, cursing, "Damn it, you slut, how dare you insult Mr. Chen? I think you've got the guts of a bear!"
The slap was delivered with great force, sending Zhang Mengqi sprawling to the ground.
Zhang Mengqi ignored her swollen face and scrambled up to kneel on the ground, "General Manager Sun, I know I was wrong. I'll never dare to do it again."
"Dare to do it again? There will be no more 'again' for a snob like you! Let me tell you, you are fired now!"
Sun Changshan, furious, cursed and ordered the security guards, "Drag this woman to the back and beat her, then throw her onto the street."
Amidst Zhang Mengqi's screams, she was dragged away by two security guards.
Sun Changshan quickly apologized to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry. Our pharmacy actually hired such a person. I will have the human resources department write self-criticisms later!"
