Chapter 34: A Bowl of Water

"Xiao Chen~ this…"

Seeing Wu Ningfeng's actions, Zhang Wang found himself in an awkward position.

If it's a conflict with other companies or stores, then as the store manager, he has to stand on Chen Yuanzhou's side no matter what and try to win the order!

However, if agents from the same store have the same client, it puts the store manager in a difficult position…

All we can do is treat everyone fairly, otherwise we'll probably struggle to gain public support later.

"You should go tell your clients too, whoever pays the deposit first..." Before Zhang Wang could finish speaking, Zhou Yun was already standing at the door.

"Xiao Chen~" she asked, "Is there a problem?"

Chen Yuanzhou replied, "If you decide to buy this set, come with me to the store to pay the deposit."

"No problem, let's go then." Zhou Yun said, already walking downstairs.

Chen Yuanzhou glanced at Zhang Wang, waiting for his reaction…

Or rather, he also wanted to know how Zhang Wang would handle the situation.

If Zhang Wang were to ask him to wait a bit and give Wu Ningfeng time to close the deal, he would not hesitate to get Zhou Yun to place the order as soon as possible, and then leave Zhuowu Company once all the other orders were completed.

Since this matter concerns his own interests, Chen Yuanzhou would never accept a store manager who shows favoritism.

Zhang Wang's gaze met Chen Yuanzhou's, and he saw that Chen Yuanzhou's serious eyes held a questioning tone and a hint of solemnity. He instantly understood what Chen Yuanzhou meant.

Then, Zhang Wang nodded slightly to Chen Yuanzhou and turned to signal him to come downstairs.

Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhou smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and quickly caught up with Zhou Yun.

……

After watching the two go downstairs, Zhang Wang sighed softly, turned around and went into the house.

At that moment, Wu Ningfeng stood in front of the family of three: "This apartment is already the best value for money among three-bedroom units. What do you think? Do you want to finalize the deal today?"

The elderly couple frowned simultaneously. The old man looked at his son: "It's for buying you a house~ What did you say to that yourself?"

The son nodded seriously: "I must have liked it to call you all here, right? I love this set!"

Hearing her son's words, the old lady looked around again and said, "I still think it's too impractical. Xiaofeng, how much does this house cost?"

"105 million." Seeing that Chen Yuanzhou had already come downstairs, Wu Ningfeng became even more anxious: "This price is the cheapest three-bedroom apartment in Qinchun Garden, and it's much lower than your expected price."

Then he deliberately added, "If you don't make a decision now, that customer will probably buy it already."

Wu Ningfeng's original intention was to use other customers to pressure the sale, but he didn't expect that the old lady would immediately become unhappy upon hearing his words!

"Buying a house isn't like buying cabbage, you can't just decide after one look!" she said unhappily. "You should at least come and check it out during the day, otherwise you won't know if it gets any sun or how the lighting is..."

"Also, Xiaofeng, go talk to the landlord again. At 105 million, the price per square meter is already over 1!"

"One million! We can order that if it's feasible..."

Wu Ningfeng's mentality collapsed at that moment!

Thinking to myself, Chen Yuanzhou's clients have already placed their orders, and you're still agonizing over the price?

He replied helplessly, "They've already paid a deposit of 105 million, so 100 million is definitely unrealistic!"

"Then let's take another look," the old lady said nonchalantly. "Such a big neighborhood, with so many houses, I don't believe we can't buy one if we have the money."

Wu Ningfeng: "..."

Left with no other option, he pulled Zhang Wang outside first, asking, "What did Chen Yuanzhou's client say?"

"I've already placed the order!" Zhang Wang replied earnestly. "Even if your client can place the order now, they're probably a step too late."

"grass!"

Wu Ningfeng muttered a curse under his breath.

Meanwhile, the family of three were also having a heated discussion in hushed tones.

"Mom, I love this house! It's not expensive, why are you insisting on putting down another 5?"

"Are you stupid?" The old lady gently punched her son. "They say 105, so it's 105. What if the landlord sells it for 95? Wouldn't they pocket all the extra money?"

"If you hadn't said you liked it, I would have said 90!"

"But he said that woman just paid the deposit!"

"You're so naive! That guy definitely knew you were coming and deliberately hired someone to impersonate you! Don't think that just because we're from the same village, we won't lie!"

"These real estate agents specifically target acquaintances for scams, don't you understand?"

"Look, he'll definitely come back later and say that the client hasn't placed an order yet, and he'll tell us to place one quickly."

The old lady spoke with absolute certainty, full of confidence in her judgment.

At this moment, Wu Ningfeng walked into the house again with a dejected look on his face and came to them.

"Xiaofeng, how's it going?" the old lady asked with a smile. "Would the landlord be willing to sell for a million?"

Wu Ningfeng glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, this apartment has already been booked by my colleague's client. I'll help you find other properties!"

His answer stunned the old lady, who immediately became anxious: "What kind of business is this? Knowing we were coming to see the house today, couldn't you have reserved it for us?!"

"I couldn't help it~ I told you to book it right after we viewed the apartment that day. Apartments with such a high cost-performance ratio sell out very quickly."

"And the result is that we have to wait for you to come back and see for yourselves..."

Upon hearing this, the old man retorted angrily, "Oh? Is it wrong of us to look around more before buying a house? If we weren't from the same village, I wouldn't even acknowledge you! What kind of person are you!"

Wu Ningfeng frowned, seething with anger, but dared not truly offend the client, so he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not handling it well. But this house has really been sold, I'll help you find another one."

"Hmph~" The old lady glared at Wu Ningfeng, grabbed him and left. As they went downstairs, they could still hear a series of curses coming from the stairwell.

Wu Ningfeng suppressed his anger, politely saw the family of three off, and then quickly walked towards the store.

"Ning Feng!" Zhang Wang quickly called out to him, "What are you doing?"

"What would I need it for?" Wu Ningfeng flung Zhang Wang's arm away. "Chen Yuanzhou did it on purpose! He knew my client was coming to see the property today, yet he took the client to see it first, and then deliberately didn't answer the phone. Wasn't he just stalling for time? Did he really think no one could see through him?"

"If he hadn't delayed like that, I would have already placed the order! Damn it! I'm going to confront him!"

Zhang Wang frowned and grabbed him again!

"What does this have to do with Xiao Chen?" Zhang Wang was also a little annoyed: "The apartments he looked at today were all arranged by me; he didn't even know he'd be looking at these apartments!"

"If you insist on settling accounts, then come to me!"

"Stop protecting him!"

"It's true!" Zhang Wang said earnestly, "He went to transfer the deposit and collect the property certificate this afternoon, so he didn't have time to prepare any listings. I found them all for him. Weren't you there too? Forgot?"

Wu Ningfeng's face was full of anger. He gritted his teeth, but he had to admit that what Zhang Wang said was indeed true.

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Zhang Wang took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "You can only say you were unlucky. His client placed the order on the spot. There's nothing you can do about it."

Wu Ningfeng initially didn't want to take Zhang Wang's cigarette, but Zhang Wang insisted on putting it in his mouth and lighting it for him, so he had no choice but to smoke it hard.

"Don't be too angry~ This isn't Xiao Chen's fault..."

"Old Zhang, stop talking. I understand the logic, but I just... sigh! Why does everything just feel so unlucky?"

Wu Ningfeng scratched his head vigorously, then squatted down next to the roadside green belt, looking utterly frustrated!

Zhang Wang sighed inwardly, squatted down beside him, and said slowly, "You're feeling down now, is it possible that things were too smooth for you before?"

Wu Ningfeng was taken aback by what he said and began to think about it carefully.

Indeed, as Zhang Wang said, since entering the industry, relying on customers from the same village, his performance has been outstanding. In less than two years, he bought a car and saved a lot of money.

Even though the market has been declining this year, he has still been able to maintain his basic performance every month, which is really considered smooth sailing compared to others.

Seeing his silence, Zhang Wang said earnestly, "Ninety-nine percent of the orders you sign are from customers in your own village, but Wujia Village is only so big. You'll eventually run out of customers. What will you do then?"

"Take another look at Xiao Chen. To be honest, these deals he signed weren't simple, but he still managed to close them..."

"This is no coincidence!"

Wu Ningfeng pouted, still unconvinced, but then he remembered Wu Jian'an's order, which was the one he had personally delivered to Chen Yuanzhou because he couldn't handle it.

"Sigh..." He sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "Then what do you suggest I do? I can't really become his apprentice, can I? I don't want to be Li Jing's grand-disciple..."

"You idiot!" Zhang Wang laughed and scolded, "We're all colleagues, can't we at least exchange ideas? This client of yours doesn't seem too easy to handle, why don't you ask him?"

"..." Wu Ningfeng stubbed out his cigarette expressionlessly, said nothing, and silently got up and walked towards the store.

Zhang Wang followed behind him, letting out a long sigh of relief; at least the situation was under control.

As the two walked to the store entrance, they happened to meet Chen Yuanzhou seeing Zhou Yun off. Upon seeing them, he took the initiative to come over to greet them.

"Brother Feng, I'm sorry about today," Chen Yuanzhou said sincerely. "But I really didn't notice that my phone was on silent. I definitely didn't mean to ignore your call."

Wu Ningfeng looked at him, his expression shifting for a moment, before finally saying with a sigh, "Never mind, it's not your fault. I was too slow in pushing for the order."

"?" Chen Yuanzhou was a little surprised by his attitude, but after glancing at Zhang Wang beside him, he roughly understood and said with a smile, "You guys haven't had dinner yet either, have you? Come on, it's on me."

Zhang Wang laughed: "No rush to eat. How much was the service charge for this order? Don't tell me it's another 5000!"

"I gave a tiny discount, so it was 2, about 95% off."

"That's alright..." Zhang Wang nodded happily. With this, the sales target of 15 for this month has been met.

Wu Ningfeng suddenly frowned and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's your total sales figure for this month?"

"Around 8..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ningfeng looked constipated, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Zhang Wang guessed his thoughts correctly and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, Ning Feng is a tough client. Do you think you could help him out?"

"That family of three from just now?"

"Yes."

Chen Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Easy!"

"Really?" Wu Ningfeng was a little skeptical. Just as he was about to ask for more details, he heard a roaring engine sound coming from afar. Then a BMW Mini drove straight to the side of the road in front of the store and stopped with a screeching sound of brakes.

"Chen Yuanzhou!!!"

Before Wu Fangzhi even got out of the car, her furious roar had already echoed through the street...
