Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 29: World-Class Sports Car Sample Delivery
The company Qiao Mina arranged for sample delivery was located on Souty Road in G City, near the suburbs, which was a long drive from JJ.
Moreover, G City was infamous for its traffic jams, and it was rush hour at this time, meaning traffic congestion was a certainty. Not to mention half an hour, even an hour might not be enough to make the delivery!
Upon hearing this, Tang En’en was furious. Although Qiao Mina was now in charge of the marketing department, Tang En’en couldn’t tolerate it anymore. It was a blatant act of public revenge. She had just been humiliated and now she was taking immediate retaliation. Tang En’en said indignantly, "How could it possibly be delivered in half an hour! Unless it grows wings and flies! You’re obviously giving an impossible task to the newcomer!"
Qiao Mina shrugged her shoulders, her face the picture of unconcern: "Well, that’s beyond my control. Anyway, the company’s boss will be heading to the airport to fly to Australia in half an hour, and he has to see the SAMPLE soon, or else the deal might fall through. Oh, right," she said, turning to Jiayi and flashing what she thought was a charming smile, "you’re the newcomer, I have to tell you, that company is one of JJ’s most important partners. If you waste this business opportunity and offend the big client, Vice President Gao will definitely blow his top at you."
Jiayi didn’t want to waste any more time with her, so without another word, he got the model numbers of the cosmetic samples and stomped towards the elevator to go get the makeup samples from the warehouse.
"Jiayi—" Tang En’en felt somewhat responsible and caught up with her, "It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have argued with Qiao Mina just now. If I hadn’t, she wouldn’t have tried to make things difficult for you! There’s no way you can make it in half an hour, and if Vice President Gao says something, I’ll speak up for you."
"It’s okay, I’ll try my best to find a way to deliver it. You go back to work. Now that she’s in charge of the marketing department, if she catches you slipping up, you’ll be in trouble too," Jiayi patted her shoulder.
Tang En’en had no choice but to go back.
After descending the building, she arrived at the warehouse.
When Jiayi went to get the makeup samples from the storage room, she realized that the pile was not light at all. Just a few color palettes were quite heavy, and the two boxes for the perfume needed to be handled carefully to prevent any collision.
It wasn’t just about delivering the samples to the client in half an hour; even carrying these heavy items by foot wouldn’t be easy!
That Qiao Mina, she really had thrown her a tough initiation challenge! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Jiayi took a deep breath and borrowed a supermarket-style pushcart from a warehouse manager, loaded all the samples on it, and pushed it out of the office building.
She carried the samples out from the pushcart and clenched her teeth as she walked towards the bus station.
Under the scorching sun, the samples in her arms seemed even heavier, like she was carrying blocks of lead. She had only walked a few steps and already felt overwhelmed. Nevertheless, she persisted to the bus station.
After waiting for several minutes and watching time slip away, finally, a taxi approached.
Jiayi was overjoyed and frantically waved her hand: "Taxi, over here!"
Just as the taxi came to a stop, before Jiayi could move forward, a hurried pedestrian dashed up, opened the door, and sat down inside.
"Hey, hey, hey—It was clearly my turn, I called the taxi! Don’t you know first come, first served!" Jiayi shouted in anger.
But the taxi had already driven off.
There was no choice but to wait for another one.
Luckily, in less than two minutes, another empty taxi came along, only for history to repeat itself!
Just as Jiayi was about to get in, she was preempted by two people who looked in a hurry and got in before her.
Carrying a large amount of merchandise, fearful of damaging it, she couldn’t compete with them and could only watch resignedly as the taxi was snatched away.
After two empty taxis passed, her luck ran out.
It was peak hour now, and taxis weren’t so easy to come by!
After a long wait, no more vacant taxis appeared.
Jiayi sighed, regretting not taking the subway from the start. So much time had been wasted just waiting at the bus stop!
She checked the time on her phone again and despaired, already bracing for a scolding from the client and a subsequent lecture from her superiors.
It was the first time in her life that she felt so powerless, watching ever so many vehicles on the street but not one to take her to her destination.
Just then, something flashed before her eyes, accompanied by envious murmurs from passersby.
She looked up to see a luxurious sports car cruising steadily from the main road onto the sidewalk, heading straight towards her.
It was a silver Bugatti Veyron, acclaimed as the world’s top hypercar, the king of speed among sports cars.
Rumor had it that even the most basic standard model was an eight-figure sum, and the higher-tier versions could cost enough to buy several companies.
"Wow, is that a top-of-the-line Bugatti Veyron?"
"Yeah, you’re right! I saw it in a luxury car magazine once, it can reach up to 409 kilometers per hour."
"I heard this model hasn’t even been introduced to G City yet, and even in the entire country, you might not be able to buy it even if you have the money—"
Among the murmuring crowd, the proud Bugatti Veyron rolled leisurely onto the sidewalk, like a guard bowing to a princess, and stopped next to a girl who was clumsily clutching a pile of miscellaneous items.
The eyes of the bystanders nearly popped out of their heads.
The car door opened slowly.
"Aren’t you getting in?" The man’s voice was as calm as usual.
Huo Zhenyang?
Why had he come here?
How many cars did he have... could his garage even accommodate all of them with the frequency he switched cars?
Jiayi was momentarily dumbfounded.
"What, you want to go back and get scolded by your boss?" His tone was slightly teasing.
Urgent time constraints didn’t allow her the luxury of reflection.
She quickly came to her senses, hurriedly gathered her things, bowed her head, and took her place in the passenger seat.
The Bugatti Veyron pulled out of the sidewalk onto the road, suddenly accelerated, and in a blink left the traffic and the crowds behind, arrogantly speeding along the avenue.
The sports car weaved through the congested traffic; Huo Zhenyang frowned, cursed under his breath with a "Fuck," then turned off the road, streaking toward the highway in the opposite direction.
"Hey, hey... my client’s company is in that direction; you’re going the wrong way!" Jiayi called out in a panic.
Without any noticeable change in his expression, Huo Zhenyang’s lips twitched ever so slightly. Naïve girl, holding the exquisite steering wheel lightly, he said indifferently, "There are too many cars on this road; they affect the speed."
But wouldn’t going in the opposite direction affect the speed even more?
Jiayi, however, didn’t dare to utter a word. Having a car was already a blessing; what else could she say? What if this man got annoyed by her pointless chatter and kicked her out again?
In a matter of minutes, the Bugatti Veyron joined the less crowded national road.
Under the surge of electric acceleration, it was like an unstrung arrow shooting straight towards its destination, relegating the other vehicles to mere specks in the rearview.
Finally, with a beautiful drifting turn, the car came to a halt beside a large building.
Jiayi hadn’t even recovered from the lightning-fast journey when she glanced at the time and froze.
My God! Twenty minutes!
From the moment she left her office building to now, only twenty minutes had elapsed!
And she had spent quite a while waiting for the bus too, which meant that it took this sports car less than twenty minutes to bring her here!
Before she could say anything, she grabbed the samples and got out of the car, ready to sprint towards the client’s company. But just as she touched the ground, her elbow, having held the samples for too long, felt sore, and her body leaned forward; she nearly dropped the samples.
