145: Chapter 145 Resolutely Refusal to Comply
Manager Huang would stop at nothing to make money.
After making money from selling houses, he even wanted the lives of the homeowners; he was truly wicked and devoid of conscience.
Chen Hao knew his identity; he was there undercover. Before Wei Xinglong could gather sufficient evidence, Chen Hao’s identity could not be revealed, so he could only reluctantly agree for the time being.
Chen Hao had a conscience. A gentleman acquires wealth through proper means; he absolutely would not earn ill-gotten gains.
No matter what Manager Huang said, Chen Hao would let it go in one ear and out the other, resolutely refusing to follow the instructions. Let's see what he could do about it!
After leaving the office, Chen Hao applied for an external assignment and headed to Yichun Garden community to continue selling houses.
Due to the policy of merging villages into the city, many farmers from one village spread the word, making Yichun Garden the top choice.
Chen Hao took the initiative, firmly securing this wave of prosperity, and sold another eight houses today.
When signing the contracts, Chen Hao earnestly explained the pitfalls of buying a home to the farmers.
"Remember this: new houses have their drawbacks too, especially decoration. You absolutely must handle it yourselves. Never hand the renovation over to the property management contractor just to save trouble. The decoration materials contain formaldehyde, which will greatly affect your health."
Chen Hao didn't care what others said; he only looked after his own clients.
Selling a house meant ensuring after-sales service; living healthily and with peace of mind was what aligned with Chen Hao's business philosophy.
Sincerity is the greatest ultimate skill. Chen Hao's efforts were rewarded; he sold 8 more houses today, doubling yesterday's performance.
When bringing the farmers to the sales office to transfer the money, Manager Huang was grinning from ear to ear. But when the finance report came in, not a single household took out a loan, nor did anyone sign a decoration contract. Manager Huang was stunned.
He personally went to the VIP lounge and looked at Chen Hao with a bewildered gaze.
Chen Hao mingled with the farmers, chatting cheerfully with these country bumpkins, but he never brought up loans or decoration business. This infuriated Manager Huang.
"Chen Hao, come with me for a moment."
After calling Chen Hao to the office and closing the door, Manager Huang erupted in fury.
"What is wrong with you? Are you treating my words as wind in your ears? How could you do this?"
"Can't you use your brain a little? Mortgage loans, renovation contracts—did I ask you to let them go?"
Chen Hao laughed it off.
"I did mention them, but these farmers are all relocated households. They have money and absolutely don't need loans. Moreover, they are all farmers with strong practical skills; they said they don't need our renovation and can do the house themselves."
Manager Huang paced back and forth in anger.
"You haven't learned anything! Can't you just trick them a little? For example, tell them if they don't let us handle the renovation, we won't include the garden, or if they don't take a loan, the price increases..."
Chen Hao had long anticipated Manager Huang's anticipation, and he replied calmly.
"If I said those things, the houses might not sell. They aren't fools; we aren't the only ones selling houses in the entire city."
"Besides, I don't see how much commission I'd get from loans and renovation contracts. It's not as much as I earn from selling the houses."
Chen Hao's words completely cut off Manager Huang's next point.
After all, for Chen Hao's first deal, Manager Huang took the lion's share of the commission. Even if some went to Liu Jiayin, Chen Hao got nothing, so it was normal for him not to care.
Manager Huang slapped his forehead. To compensate for this mistake, he said irritably.
"Don't leave after work today. Tonight, I'll take you to meet some people so you can see how much extra money you can make from signing a contract!"
"OK."
Chen Hao's scheme succeeded, and he didn't linger in the office, going out to entertain clients instead.
After seeing the farmer clients off, in the employee lounge, Liu Jiayin pasted 8 red stars on Chen Hao's board.
In four days since joining, he had accumulated 14 stars, equivalent to selling 14 houses. At this rate, Chen Hao might be the first employee in the sales office to surpass Manager Huang and win the Sales Champion bonus.
The colleagues gathered around, chattering.
"What a pity. He joined quite late. There are only three days left until the end-of-month summary. If Chen Hao doesn't sell a single unit in the next three days, he still won't be able to overtake him."
"You said 'if.' Based on his ability, he might just continue his streak of miracles."
"I'm so excited. Even though I won't get the Sales Champion bonus, I still feel thrilled."
"Sister Jiayin, I think you really struck gold! Having Chen Hao join your team shows you had foresight."
The happiest person among the employees was undoubtedly Liu Jiayin.
Although Chen Hao sold all the houses, as the team leader, she would also receive a portion of Chen Hao's credit. This was the sales office's system: the team was a collective; they shared in glory and suffered losses together.
"The key is that I have good judgment."
Just as Liu Jiayin was feeling smug, Chen Hao walked in from outside.
The entire room burst into applause. Liu Jiayin excitedly rushed to Chen Hao, beaming, and patted his shoulder.
"You truly are my lucky charm! Keep up the good work. In three more days, it will be the end of the month. Strive to surpass Manager Huang's performance and secure that legendary Sales Bonus."
In their eyes, the Sales Bonus seemed like a legend, but in Chen Hao's view, the Sales Bonus was just ordinary salary. As long as Chen Hao wanted it, any company offering that benefit, Chen Hao could easily obtain it.
A busy workday passed by in peace.
After work.
Chen Hao and Liu Jiayin changed into their clothes. Just as they emerged from the changing room, Manager Huang intercepted them.
"You come with me. Jiayin, you come too."
"Alright, Manager Huang is treating us to dinner today?"
"Just come when told; stop the chatter."
Manager Huang's expression was grim, and his temper was not good.
Under his lead, they arrived at the parking lot. Manager Huang drove a million-dollar mercedes-benz. Liu Jiayin habitually sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Hao sat in the back.
"Manager Huang, where are you taking us?"
"Somewhere fun."
Manager Huang drove the two to a clubhouse in the suburbs. From the outside, it looked unremarkable, but inside, it was opulent—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the Palace of Versailles.
As soon as Manager Huang entered, the lobby manager hurried over.
"Brother Huang, you're here. Please come in. Your private room has been reserved for you."
Manager Huang treated this place as casually as his own backyard.
"Arrange my usual three dishes for me. Jiayin, you take Chen Hao upstairs first; I need to make a few calls."
"No problem."
Liu Jiayin skillfully led Chen Hao onto the elevator. After the doors closed, she said mysteriously.
"Manager Huang is taking you to meet some important people. It seems your ability has earned his approval. You're in for a treat tonight!"
Chen Hao had already anticipated this; after all, Manager Huang had hinted at it last night. This was also what Chen Hao had been hoping for. If he hadn't come, he wouldn't have been able to follow the clues to root out everyone connected to Manager Huang.
This was perfect; everyone was jumping out of the water themselves, saving him the trouble of investigating.
