Chen Cheng parked his car by the side of the road.
Heading out today, he was driving his newly arrived 488 Pista Spider, the Horse brand's brand-new flagship sports car; his main priority was his urgency to meet a smooth young madam.
Must be fast!
Chen Cheng got out of the car and stared at the distant sign for a moment, dazed, muttering to himself, "Real Estate Agency Name? It couldn't be the 'Anjia' from that Empress's show, could it?"
Just as Chen Cheng took a few steps forward, a woman's voice called out to him.
"Handsome guy, are you looking for a house?"
Chen Cheng turned his head and saw a Tigger standing in front of him.
Uh... no, it was a girl wearing a 'Tigger' costume standing before him.
Scum frowned; damn, even though it was almost five o'clock, the temperature must still be nearly thirty degrees.
Has this silly girl lost her mind from the heat?
"Sure! I can take a look at some houses," Chen Cheng said as he took the flyer she handed him, asking curiously, "But aren't you hot?"
Seeing that Chen Cheng had actually politely accepted the flyer and even cared if she was hot, the other party hurriedly took off her mascot head.
She had been handing out flyers for several days now; most people just waved her off, few were polite enough to take one, and many even cursed at her.
He was the first one to answer "Sure" and care about whether she was hot.
Chen Cheng took a look—whoa, boy, she was actually a beauty.
The key was that this beauty looked somewhat familiar to Scum.
Looking at the sign again, Chen Cheng understood; it really was Anjia.
The beauty in front of him was Zhu Shanshan.
After all, there were only two women in this shop: the "Empress" and the sweet-but-clueless Zhu Shanshan.
"Sir, do you really want to look at houses?" Zhu Shanshan asked excitedly, panting for breath.
Chen Cheng gave a wry smile and nodded. "Catch your breath first; there's no rush to see the houses."
"Okay~~" Zhu Shanshan responded happily, using the flyers to fan herself vigorously; she really was sweltering.
"Who told you to dress like this in such hot weather? Aren't you afraid of heatstroke?"
Chen Cheng couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her sweat-covered forehead.
Handing out flyers was usually a great way to slack off—you walk and hand them out, and eventually, they just end up in the trash.
In such heat, a "beast of burden" who worked as honestly as this was quite rare.
"Oh, it was our branch manager," Zhu Shanshan finally managed to catch her breath after a long while.
"Your manager isn't afraid you'll get heatstroke?"
"If it gets too hot, I'll go back to the shop to enjoy the air conditioning for a bit," Zhu Shanshan chuckled.
"Alright, let's go to your shop first." Even Chen Cheng didn't want to stay out in the sun anymore; how could this silly girl keep handing out flyers under this sun?
"Oh, please follow me." Hearing that Chen Cheng wanted to go to the shop, Zhu Shanshan's eyes widened, and she spoke excitedly.
Zhu Shanshan happily led Chen Cheng toward the shop.
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
While they were chatting, Chen Cheng's phone rang.
"Hello~ Rui Rui." The call was from Zhao Rui.
"Brother Cheng, did you go to record songs today?"
Uh... after being seduced by Shen Jing, he had been too busy experiencing his sister-in-law's charms and had forgotten all about it.
"Oh, not yet. This can't be rushed; I need to find a professional sound engineer and a recording studio. Next week, next week, Brother Cheng will record all the songs," Chen Cheng laughed it off.
"How about you? Can you keep up with the progress at the cram school?"
Zhao Rui went to the cram school with Lin Miaomiao and the others today. She hadn't told Zhao Hui and went secretly on her own.
"Mhm~ It's okay. The cram school is just reviewing basic knowledge at the start. I can still keep up." The Little Girl nodded obediently on the other end of the line.
Chen Cheng remembered the halo he got from yesterday's check-in; it would be a waste not to use it. He said, "If there are any problems you don't understand, write them down. Brother Cheng will explain them to you this weekend."
"Really?"
"..."
The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up.
They made an appointment for her to come to Chen Cheng's house this weekend so he could explain her mistakes to her.
Luckily, Zhao Rui was an arts student; otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to make such an offer. Physics, chemistry, and biology were basically all forgotten once he entered university, but since he used math frequently, he didn't feel at all unconfident about it.
Putting down his phone, Chen Cheng and Zhu Shanshan happened to arrive at the entrance of Anjia.
Zhu Shanshan pointed to the Real Estate Agency Name storefront and said, "Sir, this is our Real Estate Agency Name Jingyi branch. I am Zhu Shanshan from the Anjia Jingyi branch. You can call me Shanshan."
Chen Cheng nodded. "Hmm, not bad. It looks quite professional."
"Of course! Our Anjia is a professional real estate agency with a nationwide chain," Zhu Shanshan said with considerable pride.
Chen Cheng's lip twitched; it seemed Zhu Shanshan had a strong sense of belonging to this shop.
As she spoke, Zhu Shanshan led Chen Cheng into the shop, and the eyes of the several people sitting at their workstations immediately widened.
This mascot, Zhu Shanshan, had been handing out flyers for half a month without getting even a single phone number.
Today she actually brought a client in? And a Handsome guy at that!
The sun must have risen from the west.
Chen Cheng scanned the room—whoa! There were quite a few familiar faces.
The one sitting closest to the door was Xiao Lou, Lou Shanguan. He didn't remember the name, but Chen Cheng remembered him from Like a Flowing River.
Sitting opposite him was a man who looked exactly like Wang Zijian. Uh... in this drama, his name was Wang Zijian.
The one next to Wang Zijian was even more interesting—wasn't this Yao Bin?
This time Chen Cheng really rubbed his eyes; damn, he looked so much like him. Yao Bin's doppelgänger?
In this drama, this kid should be called Yu Hualong. Like the "carp leaping over the dragon gate" Yu Hualong.
Chen Cheng's mind raced; if even Yao Bin had a doppelgänger, then...
Jie jie jie...
Behind them was the "Old Slicker," Xie Tingfeng.
This guy had quite a few famous scenes: "Banished to Lingnan!... My father is Zhang Erhe!" "The wind is tight~~ Bolt~~"
"Sir, this way please," Zhu Shanshan glanced at everyone and led Chen Cheng toward the meeting room with a beaming smile, feeling quite proud. She finally felt like she could hold her head high.
Chen Cheng nodded and followed Zhu Shanshan into the meeting room.
Fang Sijin, sitting in the inner room, also heard the commotion. Seeing that Zhu Shanshan had actually brought back a client, she showed a look of relief. Then, fearing that this rookie might offend the client she finally got, she stood up and walked out.
"Sir, please have some water," Wang Zijian walked in with a bottle of water and handed it to Chen Cheng.
Usually, when a client came in, whoever brought them in would accompany them, while the "mascot" Zhu Shanshan was responsible for serving tea and water.
Today, since it was Zhu Shanshan's client, Wang Zijian tacitly went to help her. In the shop, he had the best relationship with Zhu Shanshan.
"Mm, thank you." Chen Cheng looked at Wang Zijian and nodded with a smile.
"Sir, would you like coffee or tea? The tea and coffee at our branch are very good," Wang Zijian asked again.
Chen Cheng waved his hand. "No need, water is fine."
Wang Zijian nodded with a professional smile and withdrew, secretly pumping his fist at Zhu Shanshan along the way to encourage her.
Zhu Shanshan pumped her fists back, but after lowering them, she realized Chen Cheng was watching her from across the table and immediately blushed.
Chen Cheng's lips curled; this silly girl really had the "luck of the foolish" to have survived this long.
It was only because the shop had such a weird manager like Aunt Xu; otherwise, this silly girl would have been fired long ago.
He remembered that this silly girl hadn't closed a single deal in two and a half years—not a rental, a purchase, or a sale—and had just coasted along on her base salary for two and a half years.
Since this silly girl was still out handing out flyers, he guessed it must be the beginning of the drama.
The female lead, Fang Sijin, was already the star agent of Real Estate Agency Name Real Estate at a young age. Under the instructions of her superior, Zhai Yunxiao, she was parachuted into the Jingyi branch to serve as co-manager.
The original branch manager, Xu Wenchang (Aunt Xu), was a "noble person" who advocated for a "humanistic" management style and disdained dealing with despicable opponents.
After arriving, Fang Sijin employed thunderous tactics to clear the field, striking back ruthlessly against outsiders and conducting a cold-blooded purge internally.
On the day Fang Sijin arrived, Zhu Shanshan was slacking off, caught red-handed by Fang Sijin while applying makeup at her workstation.
Upon checking her records and seeing no performance history, Fang Sijin immediately became even angrier.
How could she tolerate someone who made no contribution and would only suck her blood in the future?
If you have no clients, get the hell out and hand out flyers; don't think you can just wait around here to die.
But in this heat... tsk tsk!
