Initially, they only discussed their chairman's husband in private. After discovering that no one would intervene, they naturally grew bolder.

Besides, the man was a good-for-nothing freeloader. Who would ever take him seriously?

"Mr. Chen, now that you're working in our sales department, who's going to cook three meals a day at home?" a man as thin as a beanpole with a monkey-like face joked.

Chen Yang didn't get angry, replying cheerfully, "My wife hired a maid for three thousand yuan, so I don't have to worry about that anymore!"

"What if you can't even make three thousand yuan a month? You might as well go back home and cook; you can't operate at a loss, can you!" the middle-aged man, whose full name was Hou Qiang, continued.

"That shouldn't happen, right?"

Hou Qiang said grimly, "Didn't the chairman tell you? Our sales department is commission-only, with no base salary. In other words, if you don't close a single deal, you get zero pay."

Holy shit! What a ruthless system!

"But you are the chairman's husband, after all. Maybe she'll throw you a thousand or two thousand out of pity?"

"And if you think about it, this company is technically yours, too, haha!"

The others saw Chen Yang's expression collapse and grew even more excited, starting to mock him all over again.

Zhou Yufei, who had been standing silently to the side, clapped her hands. "Did none of you brush your teeth this morning? Can't you show a little basic respect?"

The crowd just smirked without saying a word.

"Let me inform you all that Chen Yang has accepted a sales target of 400,000 from me and has guaranteed he'll complete it this month. Let's wait and see!"

Zhou Yufei cast a malicious glance at Chen Yang and added, "I also promised him that if he completes this task, I'll give him a personal reward."

Chen Yang was rendered speechless.

Accepted a target? And guaranteed it?

His face was visibly darkening.

This tactic of killing someone with praise was simply invincible! Truly, the bite of a viper and the sting of a hornet are less venomous than a woman's heart! The ancients did not lie!

What?!

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then burst into roaring laughter.

"My God! Has this guy forgotten that today is already the twenty-ninth?"

"A sales volume of 400,000 in a single day? Is this good-for-nothing living in a dream?"

"Even our Sales Champion Xing only managed a record of 100,000 in one day, right?"

Zhou Yufei clapped her hands again to stop their jeers, smirking as she said, "Please don't measure Chen Yang by your own abilities. He has a President for a wife; do you? You're all ridiculously overconfident!"

The crowd stifled their laughter and fell silent. There was only one day left, after all. They could just sit back and watch the show.

"Fine!"

Chen Yang slammed his palm on the table, startling everyone. "Since you've all said so much, then just you wait! Watch how I bring in 400,000 in sales in a single day!"

He was a man, after all. Could he really be defeated by something so trivial?

He vividly remembered one time in a rainforest, surrounded by three enemy squads and out of ammunition. Logically speaking, trapped in such a perilous situation, his chances of survival were almost zero.

But Chen Yang, relying solely on his own strength, not only broke through the encirclement but also counter-attacked and eliminated two of their squads!

He always believed that success was determined by human effort and that man could conquer destiny.

And this was just a single sales order.

Zhou Yufei applauded. "Excellent! I'll be waiting for you to deliver, then!"

With that, she turned, swaying her alluring, serpentine waist, and walked into her private office.

After this special welcoming ceremony ended, Chen Yang sat at his desk. He propped his legs up on the table, twirling a pen in his hand and frowning in deep thought.

Who should I sell 400,000 yuan worth of pharmaceuticals to? He wasn't a Lingjin City local; he had no connections. Of course, he could just call Jin Zongquan, who would solve the problem for him immediately without a second thought.

But he didn't want to get too entangled with that scheming old man.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Since he was selling pharmaceuticals, the Martial Department's demand should be huge.

At that thought, a smile crept onto Chen Yang's face as he leisurely took out his phone.

He found a contact in WeChat and sent a message: "Li, you there?"

「In Cangyun City, the imperial capital, within a tightly guarded three-story building.」

In a logistics and procurement office adjacent to the Elders' Court, a long queue of people waited to apply for resources. A woman in martial attire, with short hair, an oval face, big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth, was processing their applications with a stern expression.

"You all come at once or not at all! Are you having a reunion? What about me?" the woman, Sun Yuli, complained while working on her computer.

Faced with her outburst, the others just smiled sheepishly, not daring to talk back.

Just then, the phone beside Sun Yuli buzzed. She glanced at it, and upon seeing the message, the gloom on her face instantly vanished, replaced by a silly, smitten grin.

"Brother Yang, what made you think of me today?" Sun Yuli dropped her work, clutching her phone with both hands and focusing intently on the chat.

"I missed you."

Seeing his reply, Sun Yuli couldn't stop grinning, her eyes narrowing into happy slits. She quickly typed back, "I know you don't mean it, but it still makes me happy!"

Back in his office, Chen Yang helplessly scratched his head.

During his first few years in the Martial Department, he had been in charge of resource applications for a time. Somehow, over the course of his duties, this Li had developed a special fondness for him.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang was solely focused on his missions back then and had no time to think about marriage. Otherwise, the two of them might have really ended up together.

She was an excellent girl.

"Li, I need you to do me a favor," Chen Yang got straight to the point.

"Just say the word! It's my honor to be of service to you, Brother Yang!" When has Brother Yang ever asked anyone for a favor? Earning a favor from him is a wonderful opportunity!

"I need your help purchasing a batch of medicine. It's not a large amount, only worth 400,000 yuan."

"What a coincidence! The warehouse just happens to need to restock some pharmaceuticals!" Sun Yuli was a little disappointed. Wasn't this favor a bit too simple? It was practically part of her regular duties.

"Great! I'll send you the list. You can mark the items you need and send the requisition back to me!"

Sun Yuli glanced at the time and stated confidently, "Alright, I'll get on it right away! It won't take more than an hour."

The people waiting in line immediately grew restless. It was obvious someone was trying to use their connections to cut in line. They had finally gotten a day off after much difficulty and wanted to finish their business quickly so they could go out and have some fun.

The middle-aged man at the front of the line spoke up. "Excuse me, miss. You're not thinking of letting someone jump the queue, are you? I'll have you know, we all have urgent matters to attend to! Furthermore, we will not allow anyone to cut in line!"

His tone was righteous and forceful.

"You have urgent matters?" Sun Yuli laughed. "No matter how urgent your business is, could it possibly be more urgent than Chen Yang's?"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

"Here," Sun Yuli stood up and held her phone out to the man. "You can tell Chen Yang yourself to get in line behind you."

The middle-aged man was at a loss for words.
