「The next day.」

After breakfast, Qin Qiu and Chen Yang prepared to head to the company.

Luo Sulan was there, instructing them, "Xiaoqiu, starting today, Xiang Yang is also a member of the Qin Corporation. He holds a master's degree in business administration and is a top-tier senior management talent. You must assign him an important position!"

"Xiang Yang, you must help Qin Qiu and get the Qin Corporation out of its predicament as soon as possible!" Luo Sulan then turned to Xiang Yang with a smile. "Auntie will definitely deliver on her promise to you!"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll treat Xiaoqiu's problems as my own! I will do everything in my power to assist her!" Xiang Yang patted his chest in assurance.

Luo Sulan nodded in satisfaction. "You're young and promising. Of course I trust you!"

Qin Qiu secretly shook her head, tossed out a quick "I got it," and strode away.

Chen Yang just smiled without saying a word.

As usual, Chen Yang drove with Qin Qiu in the passenger seat. Previously, Qin Qiu would never have let Chen Yang ride in this car, but after everything that had happened, her attitude had finally started to change.

On the way, Qin Qiu furrowed her brow and asked, "Chen Yang, what position do you think I should give him?"

"As long as he stays away from my wife, any position is fine!" Chen Yang blurted out.

"Hmph!" Qin Qiu rolled her eyes. "Are you really that petty?"

"When it comes to my wife, I have no magnanimity!" Chen Yang declared proudly.

Speechless, Qin Qiu made the final decision. "Let him go to the marketing department, then. It fits his specialization, after all."

"Alright!"

Upon arriving at the company, Qin Qiu went to the CEO's office, Xiang Yang was led to the marketing department, and Chen Yang naturally went to his own.

Sales Champion Guo Xingxing was sorting through materials. When he saw Chen Yang come in, his expression flickered before he stood up to greet him. "Mr. Chen, good morning!"

"Morning, Sales Champion!" Chen Yang patted his shoulder. "It's a new month. Time to work hard!"

Seeing that Chen Yang didn't mention the incident at the mall, Guo Xingxing let out a huge sigh of relief. He beamed and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Chen, I'll definitely complete the sales target of 1.1 million!"

This scene left the other colleagues in the department stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads. They all knew how arrogant Guo Xingxing was. After suffering such a huge loss the other day, his personality dictated that he would never just let it go. But now…

The group exchanged looks, utterly astounded.

"What do you call this? Even the fiercest wolf has to tuck its tail and behave when facing a tiger!" Hou Qiang said with a grin.

"Makes sense!"

"Haha! From now on, we won't have to walk on eggshells around Guo Xingxing anymore! Mr. Chen is so much easier to get along with!"

The others quickly chimed in with their agreement.

"Mr. Chen, have you eaten breakfast yet?" Hou Qiang greeted him warmly, then waved a hand grandly. "Huanhuan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pour Mr. Chen some tea!"

Chen Yang waved his hand. "There's no need to be so formal! And just call me by my name."

"We couldn't possibly do that! You're the Chairwoman's husband. Honestly, we're already taking a liberty just by calling you Mr. Chen!" Hou Qiang laid on the flattery, smooth and natural as ever. His sales skills weren't particularly strong, but to have lasted this long in the department, he clearly had other outstanding qualities.

"Mr. Chen, here's your tea!" Lv Haihuan said cheerfully as she walked over.

"Thank you!" Chen Yang accepted it and then asked, "Huanhuan, does our Qin Corporation have any business dealings with Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical?"

"Of course we do!" Lv Haihuan said. "Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical isn't just one of the top pharmaceutical companies in Lingjin City, it's also the largest supplier of raw materials! The vast majority of pharmaceutical companies in Lingjin City get their materials from them, and the Qin Corporation is no exception!"

"So you're saying if Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical cuts off our raw material supply, we'll have to halt production?" Chen Yang frowned. If that was the case, Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical had the Qin Corporation's lifeline completely in its grasp.

Before Lv Haihuan could answer, Zhou Yufei, dressed in black work attire, walked in from outside and said in a grave voice, "They've already cut us off!"

"What?!" Hou Qiang exclaimed. "Boss, you… you're saying Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical has already cut off our material supply?"

Everyone else stared at Zhou Yufei in shock.

"We received the supply termination notice from Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical during our morning meeting just now! In three days, we will have no raw materials left," Zhou Yufei said helplessly.

Hou Qiang pressed, "But why? We don't owe them any money. On what grounds can they cut off our supply?"

"I'm afraid only the Chairwoman would know the answer to that." Zhou Yufei shook her head and glanced at Chen Yang.

"It's over! The Qin Corporation is completely finished this time!"

"If we can't deliver the orders we signed on time, we'll have to pay breach of contract penalties!"

Suddenly, the entire sales department descended into a panic. If the Qin Corporation collapsed, it meant they would all lose their jobs. In the current economic downturn, a good job was hard to find, and they all had mortgages and car loans. If their income was cut off, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hou Qiang also looked at Chen Yang and said hesitantly, "I heard that at the banquet the other day, Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical's marketing manager, Ning Qiang, was harassing the Chairwoman, and Mr. Chen beat him up!"

"So that's what happened! Sigh, so impulsive. Why didn't he think about the consequences?"

"All brawn and no brains. No wonder everyone calls him useless!"

"Such a great company, about to be ruined by someone like that. How tragic, how sad!"

In an instant, the mood in the department shifted. Everyone who had just been praising him was now whispering and pointing fingers.

Zhou Yufei's gaze sharpened as she snapped, "What do you think you're doing? The company is still standing! If you don't want to work here anymore, then get the hell out! Why are you all standing around wagging your tongues?"

At once, the crowd scattered. They had a natural fear of Zhou Yufei.

Chen Yang looked at her and smiled. "Aren't you going to blame me?"

"Of course I blame you! My easy, seven-figure annual income is about to go up in smoke. How could I not blame you?" Zhou Yufei crossed her arms and said irritably. "But from a woman's perspective, if you hadn't stepped in during that situation, I would look down on you even more."

Chen Yang was taken aback. This woman was certainly different.

"Don't worry, the Qin Corporation won't collapse," Chen Yang said as he stood up and patted her shoulder. "You'll still get your million-plus annual salary, right on schedule."

Zhou Yufei snorted. "The material supply has been cut off, didn't you hear me? Finding a new supplier means going out of town, which would take at least a month! In that month, we would default on countless orders. Do you have any idea how terrifying the contract penalties are?"

"And what if Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical resumes the supply?"

Zhou Yufei was speechless.

Chen Yang smiled and strode toward the exit.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yufei asked.

"Extreme Sea Pharmaceutical."

He left her standing there, completely at a loss for words.
