How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 3: A Small Plan

Lunch: Bean sprouts and rice, 6 yuan.

Round trip by bus, 4 yuan.

23.33-10 13.33 =

On the bus, Chen Yuanzhou calculated his current total assets and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Using the word "assets" to describe 13.33 yuan feels like an insult to the word "assets".

This little bit of money probably won't last until tomorrow; I have to find a way to get some money today!

Supported by this idea, Chen Yuanzhou immediately got busy at his computer after returning to the "Qinchun Jiayuan" store.

He had barely sat down when Zhang Wang and Wu Ningfeng, each holding an old-fashioned popsicle, entered the store.

"Hey~ Little Chen's back." Wu Ningfeng smiled as soon as he saw him: "How did the makeup exam go?"

"It should be fine," Chen Yuanzhou replied casually.

He knew he would pass the make-up exam, but he couldn't possibly be stupid enough to actually ask Wu Ningfeng for the 500 yuan he had bet with, could he?

A great man once said that we should make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Chen Yuanzhou wholeheartedly agreed with this, so as long as his core interests were not touched and his personality was not insulted, he was very good-tempered.

Besides, I'm actually in the service industry. If I get angry over a few unpleasant words, how am I supposed to make money?

In his past life, some clients spoke much harsher than Wu Ningfeng, but Chen Yuanzhou didn't feel wronged, after all, they had given him too much!

However, upon hearing his answer, Wu Ningfeng's smile widened even more: "Should? Are you that insecure?"

As he spoke, he pulled out five hundred-yuan bills, fanned them out with his fingers, and pretended to wave them: "Looks like I've saved my 500 yuan..."

Before Chen Yuanzhou could react, Zhang Wang, for the sake of unity and harmony, spoke first: "Have you signed any contracts this month? Still gloating here? Hurry up and call Wu Jian'an again to ask."

Wu Ningfeng frowned and shook his head, replying, "He just called me and asked me to help him find a bigger and cheaper house."

"How cheap do you want?" Zhang Wang immediately perked up.

"Sigh~" Wu Ningfeng sighed, "I took him to see duplexes before, but he thought they were too small. He said he wanted a townhouse in Qinchun Garden, but he required that the price per square meter not exceed 8000."

Zhang Wang felt as if he'd been doused with cold water, and he gasped sharply, "Hiss~ You mean 'snatching a bargain'? 8000? Is he crazy?! There isn't a single house in the entire Qinchun Garden that's priced below 9000!"

"Right?" Wu Ningfeng shrugged. "I think he just doesn't want to buy it, but he's too embarrassed to say so directly, so he just quoted an impossible price to fob me off."

"..." Zhang Wang frowned and fell silent. He also felt that Wu Ningfeng's analysis made sense.

Currently, the average price of secondhand homes in Qinchun Jiayuan is between 9000 and 11000. The customer has looked at so many houses and should know the market well. Asking for 8000 really means they don't want to buy it.

After a moment of silence, Wu Ningfeng said to Zhang Wang, "I've already checked the system's listings, and there's no way there's a suitable house. Forget it, let's just use a public booking."

The term "public customer" refers to a customer who is a member of the public.

Once a client is entered into the company system by an agent, they are initially the agent's private client, and only the client and the store manager can see the relevant information.

If a customer does not complete a transaction within a certain period of time, they will be classified as a public customer by the system, and their information will be visible to everyone.

Or, like Wu Ningfeng, some believe there's no possibility of a deal being made and proactively abandon the transaction…

The two did not hide their conversation from Chen Yuanzhou. Now that Wu Ningfeng wanted to recruit public clients, Chen Yuanzhou's heart stirred. He was just thinking about how to poach clients, wasn't this a coincidence?

He immediately asked, "Manager, if Brother Feng doesn't want this customer, could I have him?"

"?" Zhang Wang looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yuanzhou quickly explained, "I heard from you guys that this client isn't sincere. Since we're going to use him as a business client anyway, why don't I show him the property and practice?"

He then said to Wu Ningfeng, "Don't worry, Brother Feng! If the deal goes through, I'll give you a cut!"

"Ha~" Wu Ningfeng thought he'd heard a joke: "I can't even close a deal with this client, but you can? Okay, okay, Lao Zhang, you allocate the money to him. If you actually close the deal, I won't take a cut, I'll even give you 1000 yuan!"

Seeing that Wu Ningfeng had agreed, Zhang Wang sat down at the computer and started working on it.

At the same time, his phone rang…

"Pan Xue'e?" He saw the caller ID, glanced at Chen Yuanzhou, then answered the phone and turned on speakerphone while continuing to operate the computer.

"Ah Wang!" Pan Xue'e's cheerful voice came from the other end of the line, "I have to congratulate you!"

Zhang Wang was a little puzzled, and replied with a smile, "Sister Pan, what's so great about this?"

"Congratulations on gaining another outstanding talent!" Pan Xue'e laughed. "Chen Yuanzhou passed his makeup exam with a perfect score! Let me tell you, this young man is definitely a talent; you should nurture him well!"

Zhang Wang: "₍₍◝(ﾟ∀ﾟ)◟⁾⁾???"

Wu Ningfeng: "(⊙_⊙)???"

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air

Pan Xue'e: "Awang, why aren't you saying anything? Is the signal bad? Hello? That's strange..."

The call was disconnected, but Pan Xue'e was afraid that Zhang Wang hadn't heard it, so she sent him the exact same message via text message.

"This…"

Zhang Wang glanced at the text message, then at Wu Ningfeng, then at Chen Yuanzhou, then at the text message again.

Pan Xue'e speaks Chinese, and the text message is also in Chinese.

I recognize each character individually, so how come they're put together to form a meaning I can't understand?

Chen Yuanzhou? A talent?

Did Pan Xue'e develop Alzheimer's disease before she was even forty?

Wu Ningfeng was also shocked. He was still holding the 500 yuan in his hand, but he was stunned!

He absolutely refused to believe that Chen Yuanzhou could be associated with talent...

"Don't worry, Brother Feng!" Chen Yuanzhou suddenly laughed, "I was just joking. I passed the exam, but I won't really take your money!"

Wu Ningfeng couldn't take it anymore!

"Here you go!" He shoved 500 yuan into Chen Yuanzhou's hand. "A bet's a bet! Do I look like someone who can't handle losing?!"

Zhang Wang chuckled and said, "Why do I get the feeling that you're a sore loser?"

"Tch~" Wu Ningfeng scoffed, but his tone had lost its confidence. "The entrance exam is easy anyway. What's so great about getting a perfect score? Being able to close deals is the real skill!"

He then looked at Chen Yuanzhou: "If you can really close this deal, then you'll be amazing! 1000 yuan, I mean it!"

"Um..." Chen Yuanzhou hesitated for two seconds, "Brother Feng, how about we call it quits? Our base salary is only 800..."

"No way!" Wu Ningfeng was completely out of control: "Old Zhang, you're the witness!"

Chen Yuanzhou could only nod: "If I'm lucky enough to close the deal, I'll treat everyone to dinner!"

As soon as the topic of food came up, Li Jing, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, immediately perked up: "Food is fine, but please remember to take me with you."

Zhang Jun and Xu Chuanchuan also showed amused expressions. Xu Chuanchuan even said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, I just found a few townhouses available today. You can take your clients to take a look."

"Thank you, Brother Chuan!" Chen Yuanzhou was overjoyed and quickly leaned over to take notes.

Wu Ningfeng rolled his eyes and simply went outside to smoke.

Seeing this, Zhang Wang and Li Jing happily followed them out...

"Do you really think Chen Yuanzhou can close the deal?" Zhang Wang asked Li Jing while lighting a cigarette.

Besides Zhang Wang, Li Jing is the one who has been in the business the longest and has the most experience. When Zhang Wang is not around, Li Jing helps to take charge.

Li Jing snatched the cigarette from Wu Ningfeng's hand, plopped down on the electric scooter, and laughed at Zhang Wang, "You didn't see the reverse psychology he used on Ningfeng just now, did you?"

Wu Ningfeng: "???"

"Silly boy!" Li Jing turned to him and teased, "Don't you even realize you're being made a fool of?"
