156: Chapter 156 If you don't believe me, go check it out.

Chen Hao smiled indifferently. He had known about this benefit for a long time, but at the sales office, all Sales Champion benefits were controlled by Manager Huang. For Chen Hao to snatch this benefit from Manager Huang was harder than climbing to heaven.

"Let's not talk about that. Sister Jiayin, at the drinks yesterday, I saw Manager Huang looking out for you quite a bit. Your relationship isn't ordinary, is it?"

Liu Jiayin asked suspiciously.

"You could tell?"

Chen Hao nodded and whispered.

"I also saw that you two developed an office romance a long time ago."

Liu Jiayin gave a brilliant smile.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I used to be a hostess, and I only switched careers to sell houses when I was thirty. It was Manager Huang who persuaded me to leave that life. For the past two years, I've been his secret lover."

Chen Hao was stunned. If Liu Jiayin hadn't said so, Chen Hao really wouldn't have known she had such a sordid past.

"Little brother, listen to your sister's advice: don't let your pride get in the way of money. The way Manager Huang praised you yesterday was because he saw your sales ability. If you make money with Manager Huang, I guarantee you'll buy a car and a house within a year."

She sat up as she spoke, completely unaware that she was still a patient.

Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. Was she dropping the act and laying her cards on the table?

"Sister Jiayin, have you heard the saying, 'A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it through proper means'? Although I'm greedy for money, I never touch illegal wealth."

Liu Jiayin rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Chen Hao suddenly interrupted.

"Let me put it this way. Back when I was doing sales, I heard about something. There was a former hostess who worked hard to earn money and bought a house, wanting to live a stable life. But the good times didn't last; a year later she was diagnosed with cancer, and she passed away three months after that."

Liu Jiayin said.

"I actually knew someone like that. She was a sister from the same club as me. I sold her her second house. So, what are you trying to tell me with this story?"

"It's just a coincidence. When I was a salesman, I heard about this poor woman at a nightclub. Do you know the cause of her cancer?"

Liu Jiayin shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

Chen Hao said decisively.

"Because the formaldehyde levels exceeded the limit. Living in that kind of house is equivalent to chronic poisoning. No matter how healthy a person is, they won't live past a year."

Liu Jiayin suddenly covered her mouth.

"Nonsense! I don't believe you, you're tricking me!"

Liu Jiayin had never realized how much harm excessive formaldehyde could cause to the body. If Chen Hao hadn't mentioned it, she would never have thought in that direction.

Chen Hao didn't want to argue with her and said calmly.

"This is a hospital. Go ask a doctor how serious the consequences of excessive formaldehyde are."

Liu Jiayin was still being stubborn.

"Even if the formaldehyde exceeds the limit, it has nothing to do with us. We're just selling houses. If anyone's to blame, it's the developer for the poor feng shui of the development."

Chen Hao gave a cold smile.

"Do you have no common sense at all? There's only one reason for excessive formaldehyde: sub-standard materials were used during renovation. For example, the renovation materials produced by Factory Director Wu Lei."

Liu Jiayin sat up straight and questioned him.

"What evidence do you have?"

Chen Hao said seriously.

"If you don't believe me, go back tomorrow and do a follow-up visit with the owners of the houses you sold. See how many of them are still healthy. I've said my piece; believe it or not, it's up to you."

Chen Hao didn't want to say anything more to her. He stood up to leave.

Liu Jiayin fell into self-doubt, even forgetting her purpose for pestering Chen Hao. If what Chen Hao said was true, didn't that mean she had caused the death of her good sister and Best Friend!

She absolutely could not accept this!

Chen Hao ignored Liu Jiayin and hurried back to Yichun Neighborhood. When he entered the property management office, he found that the customers had long since left.

"Where is everyone? Where did they go?"

The property manager told him truthfully.

"Everyone was taken to the sales office by Manager Huang."

Thinking it might be too late, Chen Hao checked the group chats on his phone while rushing back to the sales office.

In Chen Hao's private domain, the owner group had formed two completely different attitudes.

The first group consisted of owners who believed in Chen Hao and had bought houses a few days ago.

The second group consisted of owners who had been fooled by Manager Huang's flowery words today.

This group wasn't large, just a few people. Among them was a farmer named Old Man Cai, who was gossiping and claiming loudly,

"Chen Hao is just an ordinary employee who joined only a few days ago. What does he know?"

"I heard from Manager Huang that as long as you don't sign the renovation contract, you can't farm in your gardens. Buying them would be the same as having decorations."

"He's a manager, a leader; would he lie to us? He's not like certain people who only know how to spout nonsense. They talk a big game and trick everyone into buying houses, signing contracts, and paying in full, only for all sorts of trouble to come knocking."

"If you ask me, it's better to talk directly with their leader. After all, he's an official and his word is final. He's definitely better than a youngster."

This Old Man Cai really took pretending to know everything to the extreme, making Chen Hao feel ashamed just seeing these comments.

Stupid, utterly stupid!

By the time Chen Hao took a taxi back to the sales office, most of the customers had already signed their contracts.

Not only had today's batch of customers been intercepted by others, but under the persuasion of Manager Huang and other group leaders, they had all actually signed renovation contracts.

Manager Huang also wanted to persuade everyone to pay in installments. Unfortunately, the farmers had money in their pockets and hadn't thought about installments. No matter how eloquently Manager Huang spoke, in the end, only Grandpa Cai signed for installments.

Things had reached this point, and Chen Hao was powerless to change it.

However, after Chen Hao returned, the entire sales office's attitude toward him underwent a drastic change.

Some group leaders, in order to act like the boss in front of customers, put on all sorts of airs, acting haughty toward Chen Hao and telling him to serve tea and water.

"Little Chen, go pour tea for the customers. Go on, what are you standing there for?"

Chen Hao was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

According to the tradition of the sales office, as long as someone was accompanying a customer, others needed to cooperate. If one didn't cooperate with colleagues, it would be seen as undermining them, and wages would be deducted as a warning.

Chen Hao knew Manager Huang was intentionally setting him up. He swallowed his pride and went to serve tea and water. Just as he entered the VIP room, he was ordered to pour more tea. After a few rounds of this, the prestige Chen Hao had previously built up in front of the customers was completely gone.

Just as Chen Hao put down the tea, he was backstabbed by a colleague.

"Little Chen is a newcomer who just started working. He's only been here for a few days, right Little Chen?"

The Group C Leader belittled Chen Hao to elevate his own status in the customer's mind.

As luck would have it, this customer was Old Man Cai from the group. He gave a cold smile and said,

"Young man, I thought you were a decent person before, but you don't tell the truth just to sell houses. You're not an honest person."

Chen Hao still wanted to persuade him.

"Grandpa Cai, listen to me, renovating a house is a major life event..."

"Little Chen, what nonsense are you talking? Have you forgotten the company's rules and regulations!"

The Group C Leader spoke sharply, glaring and scolding him.

"I'm punishing you to write the company's rules and regulations a hundred times. What are you standing there for? Go write!"
