Chapter 69: A Show
Chen Yuanzhou's words stunned Li Zihao!
He glanced at the file folder on the table: "Three orders, are they all your orders?"
Not only him, but also Pan Xue'e, two other contract agents, and several store managers and agents present all looked at Chen Yuanzhou with disbelief!
Moreover, everyone heard the conversation between Pan Xue'e and Li Zihao just now. This agent who has signed three deals is actually a newcomer?
One of the store managers exclaimed in disbelief, "Wow! Are all the new recruits this good?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but to Li Zihao, it sounded rather harsh...
Are you saying that the newbies are too good? Does that mean I, the old-timer, am no longer up to the task?
Pan Xue'e was also speechless, saying, "Xiao Chen, you... signed three contracts???"
When she discussed Chen Yuanzhou's onboarding test with Lu Pianpian, she felt that this newcomer was a talented person.
But I never expected it to be this powerful?
Pan Xue'e works at headquarters every day, so she is naturally well-informed. As far as she knows, no more than 20 agents in the entire company have signed three deals this month.
Let alone agents, some stores in remote areas haven't even closed three deals, and the relevant directors are already considering closing down.
It's easy to imagine the impact Chen Yuanzhou's three single-month deals had on her!
"Qinchun Jiayuan Store?" Li Zihao frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Is it the same store as Xu Chuanchuan's, under Zhang Wang's management?"
Chen Yuanzhou nodded: "Yes, and who are you?"
Upon learning of Chen Yuanzhou's results and being asked about his identity again, Li Zihao's previous arrogance immediately diminished, and he replied, "I am Li Zihao from Chaohui Store in Qudong District."
"Oh~~~" Chen Yuanzhou smiled: "I've heard of it."
He had heard of this name while chatting idly in the store.
Li Zihao is a native of Jiangcheng. His family lives in the Chaohui Community in the city center. He is a second-generation and third-generation beneficiary of land expropriation. Not only did his grandfather's generation experience land expropriation, but his parents also experienced it later.
Besides living in the Chaohui residential area, the family owns seven resettlement houses in the east of the city, which they rent out, earning tens of thousands of yuan in rent every month.
It is said that although Li Zihao could completely lie down and do nothing, he is a restless person. After he accidentally applied for a job as an agent at Zhuowu Company, he discovered that he also had a talent for sales.
When business was good a couple of years ago, he won the monthly sales champion title several times. He was a big celebrity in the company, and even the general manager and directors had a good relationship with him. He even appeared in the company's promotional posters.
With a good family background and strong abilities, she is at a disadvantage among agents, so it's no surprise that she can be a bit arrogant.
Seeing that Chen Yuanzhou didn't seem too interested in him, Li Zihao picked up the file folder, looked at the forms on it, and chuckled, "A townhouse worth millions only charged a service fee of 5000? Self-arranged, huh? No wonder you managed to sign three deals. But even with self-arranged arrangements, it's impressive for a newcomer to sign two deals."
After all, he had only signed two deals, so he finally found a way to back down gracefully.
Chen Yuanzhou noticed his somewhat embarrassed state of mind and laughed, "It's just good luck. I still have to learn from you. I heard your performance is particularly stable."
"So-so," Li Zihao said, feeling much better. "I hope to see you at headquarters more often next month."
As he spoke, he reached out to pat Chen Yuanzhou's shoulder, but Chen Yuanzhou dodged him, leaving him with nothing. Chen Yuanzhou stiffened, and his eyes once again revealed his displeasure.
The other store managers and agents also quickly greeted Chen Yuanzhou and introduced themselves.
For them, it is also very important to get to know more people within the company, especially talented newcomers like Chen Yuanzhou.
After all, besides competition and backstabbing, real estate agents also help each other out. For example, if they happen to have a client from a different region, they will contact an agent they know in a nearby area to refer them to the client.
Or, with such a talented newcomer, who knows when he might climb over your head?
In short, it's always good to build positive relationships.
Watching Chen Yuanzhou exchange pleasantries with everyone so smoothly, Pan Xue'e's opinion of this newcomer rose even higher. She then picked up the file folder and began typing up the forms for Chen Yuanzhou…
The first contract was signed very smoothly. Wu Fangzhi completely trusted Chen Yuanzhou, while Wei Shanting had to rush back to check the market. He arrived at the headquarters around nine o'clock, quickly signed the contract, and then left.
After signing the contract, Wu Fangzhi put away the file folder and said to Chen Yuanzhou, "By the way, my parents want you to come over for dinner sometime..."
When she said this, the expectation in her eyes was palpable!
This put Chen Yuanzhou in a bit of a predicament. He frowned and asked, "What do your parents mean...?"
"What do you think?" Wu Fangzhi blinked. "Of course, we hope to finalize things as soon as possible!"
Chen Yuanzhou: "..."
"Didn't you tell them I wouldn't marry into their family? Who talks about marriage the day they start dating?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Fangzhi gave a wry smile and remained silent.
Chen Yuanzhou was immediately alarmed: "You didn't mean to leave it unsaid, did you?"
"They're too impatient... I don't know how to say it," Wu Fangzhi pouted.
As the two were talking, Zhou Yun and Liu Beige walked in together...
"Manager Chen!" Liu Beige waved to him immediately with a big smile.
Zhou Yun was one thing, but then Liu Beige, who was even younger and prettier, suddenly appeared, making Wu Fangzhi instantly wary!
She asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Customer!" Chen Yuanzhou replied quickly and went to greet the two.
Seeing this, Wu Fangzhi frowned as she looked at Liu Beige, who was as bright as a tulip, and then at Zhou Yun, who was graceful and mature. She felt quite uncomfortable!
Chen Yuanzhou even referred to them as "customers"!
Weren't I a customer back then?
After greeting them, Chen Yuanzhou led the two to sit down on the side, then turned to Wu Fangzhi and asked, "Aren't you going back?"
"Hmph~" Wu Fangzhi's temper flared up instantly, and she said arrogantly, "I'll wait until you're done."
"..." Chen Yuanzhou smiled wryly, "I'll be busy all day today."
"You go about your business!" Wu Fangzhi simply wouldn't listen to reason.
Chen Yuanzhou shook his head, thinking to himself, "They say three women make a drama, maybe they won't actually let me play myself later?"
But there was no time for him to think about it. He could only give Zhou Yun and Liu Beige some instructions before going upstairs to print the contract.
At this moment, Zhou Yun also saw Wu Fangzhi and politely came over to greet her.
Wu Fangzhi, however, was eager to find out Liu Beige's true intentions, so she went over, and the three women sat down together and started chatting.
It would have been better if we hadn't talked, because once we started chatting, I found out that Liu Beige had bought Zhou Yun's house, and then I became Liu Beige's neighbor...
"Really? Wow~ That's great!" Liu Beige exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the news. "I got into Jiangcheng! I don't have many friends here, so we can go shopping together from now on!"
Her cheerful and outgoing personality made Wu Fangzhi unable to put on airs, and her attitude quickly changed: "You got this job through an exam? That's amazing! Is it a permanent position?"
"..."
The two girls, who were close in age, chatted more and more enthusiastically, while Zhou Yun, who was slightly older, remained quiet most of the time, glancing up at the stairs every now and then...
Since returning from the Qinghu Renjia sales office with Chen Yuanzhou, Zhou Yun has not contacted him again.
During her time alone, she thought about many things.
At first, she thought she liked Chen Yuanzhou. Whether it was their slightly ambiguous conversations or Chen Yuanzhou's ambiguous behavior at the sales office, Zhou Yun felt that she was right.
But two days later, she suddenly remembered that Chen Yuanzhou still hoped that she would be a qualified partner, not any other identity.
In addition, after chatting with Wu Fangzhi just now, I could clearly feel that Wu Fangzhi's attitude towards Chen Yuanzhou was different. She praised Chen Yuanzhou in front of both of them...
As someone who had been through it all, she had a rough idea of what was going on, but she wasn't disappointed; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Yuanzhou is really with Wu Fangzhi, it would be a good opportunity to help her find her place!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun suddenly spoke up, asking in a teasing tone, "Fangzhi, you're praising Manager Chen so much, is it because you and he... um?"
"Oh dear~" Wu Fangzhi covered her face shyly, but did not deny it.
Seeing this, Liu Beige teased, "Oh, so you got a boyfriend for free when you bought a house?"
"Aren't you afraid he's only after you're rich?"
Although she knew it was a joke, Wu Fangzhi still explained seriously after hearing this: "It's really not. I told him that if... well, if we got married, his name could be added to the house, but he didn't want to. Humph~ He even makes excuses to come to my house for a meal."
"It definitely wasn't about money!"
As Wu Fangzhi spoke, her tone shifted abruptly: "Don't just talk about me, are you buying this house as your wedding home?"
"Huh?" Liu Beige was taken aback by the question and said awkwardly, "I haven't thought about marriage yet... but my boyfriend did buy the house for me."
"Huh?" Wu Fangzhi and Zhou Yun were both surprised to hear this.
Wu Fangzhi exclaimed in surprise, "He bought you a house before you're even married? Your boyfriend must be some big boss, right? Tell me, tell me—what's his name?"
"His surname is Xiang," Liu Beige replied, without revealing any further details.
But when Zhou Yun heard these words, it was as if she had been struck by lightning, leaving her instantly dumbfounded!
She was trembling all over as she cautiously asked, "Is it Xiang Pingchuan from Yonghe Industry?"
"Hmm?" Liu Beige smiled and asked, "Sister, do you know my boyfriend?"
Zhou Yun: "..."
She never imagined that the sincere and lovely Liu Beige in front of her was actually Xiang Pingchuan's new love.
But upon further reflection, I realized that they were dancers like myself, the same age I was back then, just as naive and ignorant!
Liu Beige noticed her unusual behavior this time as well, and asked suspiciously, "Sister, what's wrong? Do you really know my boyfriend?"
"Ah~" Zhou Yun suddenly woke up from her dream, and countless thoughts rushed into her mind in an instant.
She desperately wanted to expose Xiang Pingchuan's true colors in front of Liu Beige, but in the next instant, she remembered herself when she first learned that Xiang Pingchuan actually had a family...
That sense of injustice, that helplessness, that despair…
Should I really impose this on this naive young girl in front of me?
While you can't hide fire with paper, can't you be happier every day you're ignorant?
"I don't know him!" Zhou Yun blurted out subconsciously, making up a reason on the spot: "When I used to work at the dance studio, their company invited us to perform at their year-end party, so I know him."
"How could I possibly know a big boss like that!"
She then stood up and said, "I'll go ask Manager Chen if it's done yet; I have something to do later."
After saying that, Zhou Yun quickly walked upstairs...
