The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 193 The Parachuted Employee

The next morning, even though Lin Ran didn't need to go to work, she still woke up at 6:30.

She stared at the somewhat unfamiliar room for a long time before realizing where she was.

It was a rare day when she didn't have to go to work, but Lin Ran just couldn't fall asleep. She sat on the bed for a long time, then resignedly went downstairs.

It seems she's not destined for enjoyment; she can't even sleep.

"Madam, the young master has already left."

No sooner had Xiao Jingchen left than Lin Ran came downstairs. The maid glanced outside and said cautiously.

After all, Xiao Jingchen's car hasn't left yet, so there's still time to catch up.

Lin Ran simply nodded and casually walked into the kitchen, showing no intention of following him.

They even leisurely made breakfast.

The maid was puzzled, but that was all she felt; she didn't say anything.

Before long, the aroma of rice wafted out.

Lin Ran then prepared a few more refreshing side dishes before packing them up and heading out.

Since I don't have any work to do, I should at least take good care of my grandfather.

Grandpa Xiao was happy to see Lin Ran come over every day, and since the timing was right, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Lin Ran stayed at the hospital for another half hour before leaving. Just as she stepped out of the hospital, her phone suddenly rang.

She casually took it out and glanced at it, a hint of joy flashing across her face.

It was a reply telling her to apply for a job!

Although she knew that with Xiao Jingchen's orders, it would be difficult for her to find a suitable job, she still clung to a last glimmer of hope.

She thought the outcome would be the same as before, that she would be kicked out, but to her surprise, this time they only asked her a few simple questions before letting her join the company.

This was an unexpected surprise for Lin Ran, and she even found it somewhat unbelievable.

She looked at the job offer letter in her hand again and again, a satisfied smile on her face, but she didn't notice that the interviewer was looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Ms. Lin, when can you start work?"

"Now you can."

Having found a job, Lin Ran finally felt relieved and couldn't wait to start working.

The man seemed to pause for a moment, but didn't say anything. He went out to make a phone call and came back in a short while later.

"Miss Lin, please come with me."

Lin Ran nodded, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Why was this person so much more respectful to her after going out?

"Ms. Lin, our sales department is a very united department. I will find a reliable person to guide you later, so you don't need to be nervous."

Lin Ran nodded, her face looking somewhat innocent.

She wasn't nervous at all, okay?

Soon they arrived at the so-called sales department. Although it was still a department, the office was pitifully small, especially compared to Xiao's, it was incomparable.

Seemingly noticing Lin Ran's gaze, the man began to explain with some difficulty.

"Because the sales staff aren't often in the office, the office is a bit small, but it's big enough."

"Anna, come over here and mentor the newcomer. This is Lin Ran; she'll be working in your sales department from now on."

Lin Ran looked at the blonde woman in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Hello, my name is Lin Ran. We'll be colleagues from now on."

Lin Ran was only slightly dazed, but the next second she introduced herself in a natural and generous manner.

Anna glanced up, scoffed, and didn't intend to shake hands. Instead, she smiled at the man who brought Lin Ran over.

"Alright, Miss Lin, Anna will tell you what you need to do. I'll be going now."

The man ignored Anna and turned to leave.

"Anna, what should I do now?"

After the man left, Anna didn't say anything, just scoffed and turned back to her desk.

As for Lin Ran, she was simply left there to fend for herself.

"Lin Ran, right? What's your relationship with the general manager? He actually brought you here personally."

After a long while, Anna seemed to remember Lin Ran's existence, and she approached him with a smile, but her eyes were icy cold.

"General manager?"

Lin Ran frowned, her tone puzzled.

Why would the company's general manager personally come out to interview employees?

Before Lin Ran could think it through, Anna in front of her got anxious. She lit a cigarette, leaned over, and took a deep drag.

"Pretend? Don't tell me you were just hired through an interview."

Anna held a cigarette between her pale fingers, her overly beautiful face gradually becoming obscured by the smoke.

"I know very well that someone who can be personally delivered by the general manager is no ordinary person."

Anna flicked her cigarette ash, looked Lin Ran up and down, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

"But looking at you... when did the general manager change his tastes?"

“Anna, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t know this so-called general manager you’re talking about. I’m just here to work. You just need to tell me what I should do.”

Lin Ran said this with a frown, but how could Anna possibly believe it? She snorted and threw the half-finished cigarette on the ground, stomping it out.

“You were brought here by the general manager, I wouldn’t dare to give you orders. What if you complain about me tonight? I can’t handle that.”

Anna's tone was strange, and many people in the office laughed when they heard it.

Lin Ran felt a chill run down her spine from those malicious gazes, and she even regretted coming to this company.

"Alright Anna, since she's a newcomer, let her stand outside so we won't be surprised when guests arrive."

"Oh, and get her a copy of those speech exercises on the table too, so she can look at them at her own pace."

Anna was still a little unconvinced, but after being glared at by the woman, she immediately fell silent and said nothing more.

"Here, take these things. Go stand outside and remember to entertain any guests who come."

Anna grabbed a few sheets of paper from the table and tossed them over, then pointed to the door and yawned.

"Oh, and don't forget to close the door when you leave, so you don't disturb us."

Lin Ran took a deep breath, endured the humiliation, picked up the things on the ground, and then closed the door and left.

Unlike the office, there was no air conditioning outside. It was stuffy and hot, and Lin Ran had to stand there to greet guests. Before long, she was covered in sweat.

In just a short time, she had already memorized all the scripts on the paper, so dealing with customers was no problem for her.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao family's residence, Xiao Jingchen was absentmindedly looking at the documents in his hand. The room was cool and comfortable with the air conditioning on, but he felt inexplicably irritable.

Recalling his subordinate's reply this morning that Lin Ran had already started working, he felt increasingly displeased.
