Chapter 6: Now That I Have Money, Book a Medical Checkup First
At 9:00 a.m.
Su Yunzhou hung up the phone, feeling a profound sense of relief. Sure enough, the only people who would support him without reservation were his parents. He had told them about his breakup. His mother, usually quite naggy, wasn't as agitated as he had imagined. Instead, she said earnestly:
"Son, I didn't want to say anything before because she was the person you chose, but now that you two have broken up...
"I think you made the right decision. That girl was too bossy and often yelled at you. Your dad and I saw it a few times and felt terrible about it for a long time.
"Besides, you know how she always ignored us two old folks..."
It wasn't until his mother said this that Su Yunzhou realized his parents had truly endured unnecessary distress for his sake. Naturally, he didn't mention his resignation. In the eyes of his conservative parents, working hard was the only foundation for a stable life. In his current situation, a regular job was just a means to earn money. Why should he pass up his current easy source of income, only to waste time doing other things?
He had originally wanted to wire some money back home, but after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea. It would be too much trouble to explain. Furthermore, his parents were still working hard to save up for his down payment. He figured it would be better to tell them after he had already bought a house.
Later in the call, Su Yunzhou told his parents about a colleague who worked overtime and ate takeout every day, which led to health issues discovered during a physical exam. He used this story to urge his parents to get checkups as well. Although they readily agreed, Su Yunzhou knew them well enough to realize they might not actually go. Thus, after hanging up, he troubled an old high school classmate who worked at a hospital to help him book two physical examination packages. Only after hearing that the money had already been paid did his parents truly agree to go to the hospital for their exams in a couple of days.
This finally allowed Su Yunzhou to relax. Now that he had money, he absolutely did not want to experience the heart-wrenching regret of "a child wishing to support their parents, only to find them already gone."
Afterward, he went downstairs for some soup dumplings and called a luxury ride-hailing car to the provincial hospital. Sure enough, no matter the time of day, the hospital was always packed with people.
Su Yunzhou consulted the triage nurse, headed to the medical examination center, and booked a comprehensive 86-item physical exam package. After he paid the 21,800 yuan fee, the young nurse grew noticeably more enthusiastic. She repeatedly reminded him of the precautions to take before his exam the following Monday, and even hinted that if the handsome young man had any questions, he could contact her. Su Yunzhou politely nodded and ultimately chose to add her work WeChat. He simply didn't have the energy, nor the desire, to waste time on these young girls.
By the time he walked out of the hospital, it was already noon. He suddenly found himself at a loss for what to do. Opening Little Blue Book, he sent a message to Yang Liu Yiyi.
[Physical exam successfully booked! Got any food recommendations nearby?]
A few minutes later, his phone vibrated twice.
[There's a pretty good hotpot place nearby~]
[You're doing this on purpose, aren't you! Why would I eat hotpot alone?]
[~_~ That just means your mind isn't strong enough.]
After a brief thought, Su Yunzhou typed back:
[I'm planning to go look at cars this afternoon. Do you have any model recommendations suited for an ordinary guy like me who's handsome but not very rich?]
Upon seeing this message, Liu Yiyi, who was drinking juice, choked. She coughed several times and patted her chest before finally recovering.
"I never noticed he was so..." she muttered.
Then, on second thought, she realized this was a perfect opportunity to test him. Moreover, she could help out her best friend, who was facing overtime because she hadn't met her customer showroom visit quota.
[If you're going to look at cars this afternoon, could you do me a small favor?]
[Hmm? I can, but I draw the line at doing anything illegal.]
[(-᷅_-᷄) Wait!]
Seeing that he agreed, Liu Yiyi called the best friend who had recently stood her up.
"Hey! Yiyi, what's up?"
"Want me to introduce a potential client to you?"
"Are they reliable?!"
"More reliable than a woman like you who loves to stand people up!"
"Ugh! I didn't want to! My performance this month isn't up to standard, it's so miserable... Hurry up and tell me about the client. If this works out, I'll treat you to a huge feast and take you out to party..."
After hanging up, Liu Yiyi sent a message.
[This is my best friend's number: 158xxxxxx. She's a sales manager at Porsche.]
[Since you're going to look at cars anyway, just help her complete a showroom visit quota.]
Porsche? That word held a kind of intangible Magic Power. Immediately, an eye-catching, classic red sports car with a sleek design popped into his mind. It was the dream car of so many young people. Even if they couldn't tell whether it was a 718 or a 911, it didn't lessen its appeal.
With over 600,000 yuan left in his pocket, Su Yunzhou wasn't intimidated by the prospect of looking at million-yuan luxury cars. He would just go take a look today. Once Liu Yiyi helped him accumulate enough money, he could buy a million-yuan luxury car and drive it back to his hometown to show off. Wouldn't that be a joy?
He typed in the number and dialed. A pleasant voice came through the receiver. They exchanged a few words. After adding each other on WeChat, the woman named Li Yan immediately sent him a location pin and a booking confirmation for his showroom visit.
On the ride there, having nothing else to do, Su Yunzhou scrolled through her Friends Circle. He had to admit that the physical requirements for female Porsche sales reps truly lived up to their reputation. Her looks and figure were extremely competitive, though he wondered what she looked like in person.
At the Southern City Porsche Center's sales office.
Upon seeing the message confirming the appointment, Li Yan immediately began making preparations. Her best friend had told her that the client's family home had recently been demolished for redevelopment. Young people who suddenly came into wealth were very prone to impulse spending, so she had to be fully prepared. On her iPad, she pre-selected several ideal models and picked out some accessories that young people typically loved, such as the famous "screaming" grab handles and high-tech alloy wheels.
Her earnest work ethic immediately caught the attention of another female colleague. This young, beautiful colleague was named Liu Ru. Not only did she have a pretty face, but she also possessed a smoking hot figure. However, Liu Ru's most attractive feature wasn't her beautiful, dimpled face, but rather her big, watery eyes that naturally evoked pity.
When she first arrived at the Porsche Center half a year ago, she acted like an innocent little lamb. Her deliberately crafted frailty had easily triggered the male colleagues' protective instincts. With their enthusiastic help, she grew quickly; in just a short month, she mastered many sales techniques and gathered a wealth of resources. The former top salesperson, in an attempt to woo her, had taught her everything he knew. To help her close deals, he even specifically handed two of his own clients over to her. Everyone thought the two of them had become a couple. But who would have known that this beautiful woman, who looked like a little lamb, was actually a high-tier manipulative "green tea".
That month, the two prospective clients both decided to place orders. Just as everyone was expressing their surprise, the top salesperson suddenly chose to resign. For a time, rumors flew everywhere. Some said Liu Ru's two big orders were secured by "sleeping" with the clients. Others said the top salesperson not only got nothing from her, but also had all his clients and resources stolen. There were even rumors that he resigned because she had an ambiguous relationship with the store manager.
Regardless, the end result was that this woman stayed. After dropping her disguise, she proved she would resort to anything to snatch clients. Over the next few months, she poached quite a few deals. This series of actions naturally provoked the resentment of her other colleagues.
But unexpectedly, the colleagues who went to report her ended up getting a scathing scolding from their direct boss.
"Sales operates on a wolf-pack culture! If your deal got snatched, you should reflect on your own personal failings, instead of coming here to tattle like a weakling!"
With the boss defending Liu Ru like that, it was obvious there was some shady business going on between them.
The veteran sales reps retreated in disgrace. From then on, everyone reached a tacit understanding and began to distance themselves from this top-tier "green tea". However, Liu Ru acted completely unbothered. She kept to herself, and it didn't affect her ability to close deals at all.
Not long after.
Li Yan walked out with a joyful expression. It seemed her client had arrived. Liu Ru didn't show any unusual reaction, as the transaction cycle for every Porsche client was never short. She would just wait for others to slowly lay the groundwork in the early stages; in the later stages, as long as she got her hands on the client's information, she would find a way to steal the deal.
It looked like she would have to accompany her direct boss one more time. She didn't mind these unspoken rules. It was just that the store manager was terrible in bed yet enthusiastically kinky, forcing her to fake it... and play along with his performance every time. Sigh! She genuinely felt a bit exhausted! After all, who didn't want true sexual bliss!
