155: Chapter 155 Intercepting Halfway

As it turned out, Chen Hao understood these clients' needs very well. His sales pitches were exactly what they liked and wanted to hear, which made selling houses twice as effective with half the effort.

Liu Jiayin had also been selling houses for two years. Although she was eloquent, she couldn't handle the customers' psychology with the same ease and mastery as Chen Hao.

After returning to the sales office, Chen Hao began explaining the home-buying procedures. Liu Jiayin had thought that after yesterday, Chen Hao would understand Manager Huang's well-meaning intentions and would definitely trick the clients today into installment loans and renovation contracts.

To her surprise, Chen Hao didn't mention a word about them. Instead, he would offer a piece of advice from time to time.

"If you can pay in full, do it. Avoid installments as much as possible."

What was he doing?

Liu Jiayin was stunned. She wondered if Chen Hao had lost his mind.

After listening for a while longer and confirming that Chen Hao had no intention of pushing installment loans or renovation contracts, she quickly and quietly made a phone call to Manager Huang, explaining the situation to him.

...

Sales Office.

Upon hearing about Chen Hao's actions, Manager Huang was furious!

The properties developed by Xinglong Real Estate were limited. There were only so many units; every one sold was one less available.

Although Chen Hao sold many houses, not signing contracts for installments or renovations meant reduced profits and a lack of respect for his superior.

Cutting off someone's path to wealth was as bad as killing their parents. Manager Huang's anger flared up.

He decided on the spot to go out on field duty and personally check the situation at the Yichun Garden community.

Thus, by the time Manager Huang arrived, the Property Management Office was already in a chaotic state. There were many clients surrounding Chen Hao, asking all sorts of questions. That damn Chen Hao was actually teaching the farmers how to do the math step-by-step.

He compared the value of a one-time full payment against the total cost of a twenty-year mortgage!

Although the farmers weren't highly educated, they weren't stupid. They could understand the difference between 2 million and 4 million.

Manager Huang's head throbbed. Chen Hao was completely out of his control. Since he wouldn't listen, he shouldn't blame Manager Huang for being ruthless.

It was noon.

Chen Hao arranged lunch and invited the clients to a restaurant. Afterward, they boarded a minibus to tour the infrastructure around the Yichun Garden community.

Subways, shopping malls, wet markets, parks, schools, and hospitals—everything was there. Chen Hao had planned this process thoroughly to dispel the clients' final doubts.

On the other side.

With a single command, Manager Huang had some people from the sales office come out for field duty at Yichun Garden to blatantly steal Chen Hao's source of clients.

For no other reason than to reap more benefits for himself.

He even went as far as to have Liu Jiayin find a way to stall Chen Hao for as long as possible, no matter the cost.

...

Restaurant.

When Liu Jiayin saw the message from Manager Huang, she was in a bind. How to stall Chen Hao had become her most urgent priority.

Turning to look at Chen Hao, who was moving among the clients, chatting and laughing with ease, Liu Jiayin hesitated repeatedly. In the end, she could only resort to a desperate measure: faking an illness.

Lunch was almost over. When Chen Hao called everyone to head back, the clients boarded the bus. Just as Chen Hao was about to follow them back...

Liu Jiayin suddenly grabbed Chen Hao's arm and said with a distorted expression...

"Oh no, I think I ate something bad. My stomach hurts terribly. Chen Hao, can you take me to the hospital?"

Chen Hao didn't think much of it. He told the driver to take the clients back first and immediately hailed a taxi to take Liu Jiayin to the hospital.

On the way.

To fake the illness, Liu Jiayin clutched her stomach and rolled around incessantly, making it look very convincing.

Chen Hao was truly fooled by her acting. Filled with worry, he kept urging the driver to go faster.

Meanwhile.

As soon as the bus returned to Yichun Garden and the clients entered the Property Management Office, Manager Huang and his staff greeted them warmly.

"Hello, distinguished clients. I am the manager of the Yichun Community sales office. I will be taking care of you from here on."

In the farmers' eyes, he and Chen Hao were from the same unit, so they didn't think much of it. They began asking Manager Huang and the others about the home-buying process.

"Ah, it's like this. Chen Hao is a newcomer, and there's one thing he didn't tell everyone. If you want to buy a house with a garden, you need to sign a Renovation Contract Authorization. This is also for the overall planning of the community..."

Seeing this, the Property Manager sensed something was wrong and quickly made a secret phone call to Chen Hao.

...

On the other side.

Chen Hao had already taken Liu Jiayin to the hospital emergency room. While he was waiting anxiously, he received the call from the Property Manager.

"What did you say? Why did Manager Huang and the others suddenly show up?"

"I don't know either. At first, I thought you arranged it, but the more I listened, the more I felt something was off."

Chen Hao felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. Looking again at Liu Jiayin, who was undergoing an examination, he suddenly realized he had been played.

"Brother, keep an eye on things for me first. I'll be back in a bit."

To confirm his suspicion, Chen Hao went to the ward to watch Liu Jiayin.

In the car, she had been in agonizing pain, yet she could answer the doctor's questions calmly during the exam. This wasn't an illness; it was clearly an act.

"Sister Jiayin, now that you're at the hospital, I'll head back first. The clients are waiting for me."

Liu Jiayin quickly said...

"Don't leave, I can't do this alone."

The doctor also chimed in...

"The patient's condition is currently unclear, and she shouldn't be left alone. You should wait a bit longer."

Chen Hao thought to himself that the move by Manager Huang and Liu Jiayin was truly ruthless. To make money against their conscience, they would resort to such underhanded methods. It must have been quite a struggle for them.

Liu Jiayin was truly going to any lengths to stall Chen Hao.

Whenever Chen Hao showed any sign of wanting to leave, she would immediately scream in pain, roll back and forth, and grip his arm tightly, refusing to let him go no matter what.

There was nothing he could do. Both the medical staff and the other patients were staring at him. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, so they simply prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine and had Liu Jiayin stay for observation. Chen Hao was forced to stay and accompany the patient.

And so, while Liu Jiayin received an IV drip, Chen Hao accompanied her in speechless frustration.

However, Chen Hao didn't just sit around waiting for death. He already had a countermeasure. Using WeChat, he contacted clients who had previously bought houses. While maintaining his private domain, he repeatedly warned them to notify their fellow villagers not to be fooled, not to take out installment loans, and not to sign renovation contracts.

Seeing Chen Hao constantly fiddling with his phone, Liu Jiayin felt bored and tried to start a conversation.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Chen Hao put down his phone and said...

"Work isn't as important as your health. You should stop talking and rest well."

Liu Jiayin felt a warmth in her heart and said sheepishly...

"I suddenly fell ill and prevented you from signing those clients. You won't blame me, will you?"

Chen Hao gave a cold smile.

"There are plenty of clients. If I don't sign them today, I'll sign them tomorrow. You should worry about yourself first and stop fretting over useless things."

Liu Jiayin asked again...

"You really don't blame me? You know, if you had landed all those clients today, you would definitely have secured this month's Sales Champion reward."

Chen Hao asked curiously...

"By the way, what exactly is the Sales Champion reward?"

Liu Jiayin thought for a moment before saying...

"I heard that besides a bonus, there are also vouchers for purchasing properties under Xinglong Real Estate. This means the Sales Champion gets a discount on buying their own company's houses. If you're the Sales Champion for a whole year, it's basically like getting a house for free."
