School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 71 Proxy Fee

Li Xiaoya was busy with work. The end of the year saw a flurry of activity, and the entire corporate group entered a frenzy of operations. Almost everyone was caught up in a whirlwind of business, each person feverishly carrying out their responsibilities.

As the head of Huihong Group, Li Xiaoya held multiple positions and was busy on the front lines.

The company had a massive amount of work to be done, and there were numerous tasks to handle. It's important to know that Huihong Group had many suppliers who, as if by prior agreement, would come to collect debts from Li Xiaoya at the end of the year. But Li Xiaoya was not panicked; after all, the company was not short of money.

Of course, not being short of money didn't mean she could just give it away recklessly.

The suppliers' payments couldn't be settled in one breath—it was essential to collect the company's own accounts first, otherwise, all the talk would be useless.

"Director Li, Red Star has been refusing to settle up with us," Xiao Mei said, feeling helpless.

"What did Red Star's Director Liu say?" Li Xiaoya was not in a hurry.

"He said he doesn't have the money right now." Xiao Mei was somewhat annoyed before continuing, "What do you think... how should we handle this now?"

"How to handle it?" Li Xiaoya hesitated briefly before answering, "No worries, I'll go personally to request payment later!"

Requesting payment was indeed difficult, especially towards the year-end when everyone needed money urgently. Any large company required a substantial amount of funds for turnover, and business owners wished they could split a penny in half. Unfortunately, once money is torn up, it ceases to be money.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yes!" Xiao Mei nodded.

Just as Xiao Mei was about to leave, a beautiful receptionist from the front desk knocked and entered.

"Director Li, there's a Mr. Xiao Han here to see you." The front desk receptionist was well-proportioned and very beautiful. The receptionists at Huihong Group were carefully selected. As the company's first impression, Li Xiaoya paid great attention to this. They needed to have height and good looks. Their figures had to be proportionate, their faces pretty.

They also had to be proficient with various office software and occasionally handle some documents. After all, they hadn't paid thousands of yuan just to be a decorative vase.

"Xiao Han?" Li Xiaoya was taken aback for a moment.

"He's the agent from LJ city," Xiao Mei quickly reminded her.

"Ah!" Li Xiaoya exclaimed as she suddenly got to her feet and hurriedly said, "I'll go to meet him."

With that, Li Xiaoya rushed out.

"Director Li is in such a hurry?" Xiao Mei was a bit surprised, having never seen Li Xiaoya so anxious or enthusiastic before. Why was it that when Xiao Han arrived, she appeared so eager and passionate? It seemed like she couldn't wait to see Xiao Han.

In the company's reception area, Xiao Han was resting in the sofa area with an agency fee of three hundred thousand in his bag.

"Xiao Han!" Li Xiaoya called out from afar.

"Sister Xiaoya." Xiao Han quickly stood up and walked towards Li Xiaoya with a beaming smile.

"How did you get here?" Li Xiaoya asked.

"Sister, I should really pay," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"I've already said it's not necessary," Li Xiaoya smiled and said, "The total is just over eight hundred thousand in goods. You can pay me back once you've recouped your costs."

"But, that's not how business is done," Xiao Han said awkwardly.

"I'm just worried about you having difficulties with cash flow," Li Xiaoya said soothingly, "So, just quietly go back to LJ city. I will send a staff member to your store for guidance. They will conduct a systematic training for your sales staff, letting them understand some of Apple's products, including their functions."

"All right," Xiao Han nodded.

Li Xiaoya smiled and said, "Have dinner with me tonight."

"I..." Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, "I still need to rush back to LJ city."

"What's the rush?" Li Xiaoya laughed, "Now that you're set on doing business, you can't always do as you please, you have to learn how to fight and struggle in the business world. Understand?"

"But..." Xiao Han showed a look of difficulty.

"When a beautiful lady invites you to dinner, shouldn't you be a gentleman?" Li Xiaoya looked at Xiao Han with a teasing smile.

"Alright!" Xiao Han could only nod.

There was no helping it, for Li Xiaoya was a woman, and an attractive one at that, almost too beautiful for Xiao Han to refuse. He understood that if he rejected Li Xiaoya now, it would be equivalent to giving her the cold shoulder. Surely Xiao Han couldn't just do that, right?

"That's more like it," Li Xiaoya chuckled.

She hadn't been sitting in the office for long when Li Xiaoya received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoya's face seemed slightly displeased. Xiao Han obviously noticed and asked curiously, "Sister, what happened?"

"Ran into a little trouble," Li Xiaoya said, frowning.

"What happened?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"Director Liu from Red Star Group owes me some money. He says he'll only pay up if I agree to drink with him today," Li Xiaoya sighed lightly, "I have to go to this dinner today. If I can't get those few million back, the loss will be significant."

"Paying debts is only natural; how can he not give you money?" Xiao Han asked, "If it goes to legal procedures, he will also have to pay."

"Look at you!" Li Xiaoya glanced at Xiao Han and said, "It shows you don't understand some rules of the business world. If we really go through legal procedures, of course, he will have to pay, but at the same time, you'll lose a high-quality client. Not only that, but you might also lose a lot of potential quality resources. Understand?"

"I..." Xiao Han said with an embarrassed smile.

"Business is like a battlefield," Li Xiaoya replied, "Xiao Han, could you do me a favor tonight?"

"What can I do to help?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"Pretend to be my boyfriend tonight," Li Xiaoya said, looking at Xiao Han demurely, then she added, "I'm afraid Director Liu has set a trap for me in this dinner. He's been pursuing me, but he's unscrupulous, and I don't want to get too entangled with him."
