"I didn't! Didn't you see that fat guy's eyes? They were practically squinted into a slit. He looked so sleazy." Qin Shuang spoke indignantly.

"I thought he was fine. He was chubby and kind of cute. Didn't you notice the flesh on his face? It was so fair and tender. I really wanted to pinch it. It must've felt great."

"Urgh... I don't like pork belly. Zhang Wen, what kind of taste is that?" Qin Shuang wore a disgusted expression. She simply disliked fat men—or perhaps she was just extremely annoyed that Li Xian had ignored her earlier.

"Tsk, everyone has different tastes. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean nobody else does. I think chubby people feel safe to be around. Besides, Mr. Li isn't ugly either. He's a stock with great potential." Zhang Wen argued back, as if deliberately taking the opposite side.

"A stock with potential? A sense of security?" Qin Shuang laughed disdainfully. "If he has no money, potential is useless. Without a house, where does this sense of security come from?"

"Hehe, how do you know Mr. Li can't afford a house? Sister Linlin said it herself just now. Many capable people look perfectly ordinary."

"You actually believe that? You watch too much television. Zhang Wen, I refuse to believe you have no judgment at all. That fat guy wasn't wearing a single thing worth more than two hundred yuan. Do you really think someone like that can afford a ten-million-yuan house?"

"Why not? Maybe Mr. Li just likes to keep a low profile."

"Keep a low profile? Heh..." Qin Shuang sneered. "I think you should get your eyes checked. You might be going blind."

"Qin Shuang, why aren't you arguing back anymore? I think you're not so sure yourself. Mr. Li does look utterly ordinary, but he didn't show the slightest fear in front of Sister Linlin. I think he's definitely not simple."

"Tsk, that fat guy was just bewitched. He was blinded by lust..."

"No, that's called having confidence. Have you ever seen a male colleague hold his head up in front of Sister Linlin? They're all intimidated by her presence. Even Manager Zhao has to give her some leeway. But that Mr. Li..."

"Enough. I don't want to argue with you anymore." Qin Shuang frowned slightly and stared straight at Zhang Wen. "Zhang Wen, you're being really strange today. It's like you're deliberately picking a fight with me. Is this because I took one of your clients last week and you still haven't gotten over it? Don't be so petty. It was only a 280-square-meter house..."

"You..." Zhang Wen's expression changed, and anger appeared on her face. "Since you brought up what happened last week, then let's talk about it properly. I'd been showing Mr. Niu houses for several days, and the deal was practically done. I had something to attend to that day, so I asked you to receive him for me. I treated you as a friend and trusted you, but what about you? Do you think you lived up to my trust?"

The anger she had accumulated over the past week finally erupted. Zhang Wen panted heavily, her cheeks flushed bright red.

She and Qin Shuang had joined the company and attended training together. The two had quickly become close friends who could talk about anything. Zhang Wen had thought Qin Shuang was a good sister worthy of her trust, but at the crucial moment, that good sister had stabbed her in the back.

At first, she had intended to endure it and let the matter pass. But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became—especially since Qin Shuang had stolen her deal and showed no remorse, even bragging about it everywhere.

It was like holding a knife and slowly sawing at her heart.

Today, Zhang Wen could no longer hold it in. She was determined to oppose Qin Shuang. Even if it meant quitting, she had to settle the matter with her.

Qin Shuang didn't think she had done anything wrong. She still wore an unconcerned expression as she said, "Zhang Wen, get this straight. Even if I took your client, I did it within the rules. Mr. Niu looked at so many houses with you, so why didn't he buy? Have you ever thought about that? It's because he never wanted to buy from you in the first place! Don't be so naive, Zhang Wen. Mr. Niu looked at houses with me for one day and placed an order immediately. That was because of my efforts. It had nothing to do with you."

"You... Don't think I don't know what despicable methods you used!" Zhang Wen gritted her teeth. She knew perfectly well what disgraceful thing Qin Shuang had done.

"If you're capable, use them too! Do you know what Mr. Niu said about you? He said you were an idiot with a pair of breasts but no brain. Hahahaha..." Qin Shuang sneered. "The instructor said it during training too. In our line of work, everyone relies on their own abilities. We're colleagues, but we're also competitors. You chose not to use your brain, so why should I do the same? Heh... I didn't let Mr. Niu slip away, and I've already done more than enough for you. If you get clients like him in the future, you can keep asking me to handle them for you. That way, you won't upset the clients and get scolded by Sister Linlin."

"I really didn't expect you to be this shameless."

"What's a face good for? Can you eat it? That's such an immature thing to say."

The two women argued back and forth behind the advertising display rack for more than ten minutes. Their conflicting values collided fiercely, and they nearly came to blows.

If Li Xian had been there, he probably would have shouted, What are you two babbling about? Just fight and get it over with.

Fortunately, he wasn't there. Otherwise, the place would have become lively, with all the "bosses" in the room coming over to watch.

Just then, a male salesperson rushed over. "Qin Shuang, Zhang Wen, what are you two doing? Hurry and prepare two contracts. Sister Linlin needs them urgently."

"Huh?"

The two women looked at the male salesperson together and asked in unison, "Who's signing a contract?"

Inside the VIP client consultation room.

Li Xian sat on the sofa, irritably staring at the system's mission panel in front of him.

He had been happily looking at the houses in the show home—watching the ball... Ahem, looking at the houses—when a mission suddenly appeared.

[Random Mission: I Think You Want to Ask Me Out—Accepted.] [I Think You Want to Ask Me Out: Whether to ask me out or not is up to the host. Show off your charm and blind the 80-point beauty in front of you. (1) Take the initiative and ask for your WeChat, time limit: 10 minutes, countdown: 8 minutes 31 seconds. (2) Take the initiative and ask her to dinner, time limit: 48 hours, countdown: 47 hours 58 minutes 31 seconds. (0/2)]

Damn it, system, are you trying to dump the blame on me again?

I was clearly appreciating the view in a civilized manner. I didn't have a single improper thought.

What does this mission mean? It makes me look like some desperate horndog!

Li Xian was completely speechless at this shameless system. Earlier, he had merely moved a little closer to Dong Linlin and accidentally brushed against her shapely butt in an indescribable way. His heart had gone "thump" once, and the mission had immediately popped up.

Was that attraction? My ass...

Her chest is so thick. How could I feel any heartbeat through it?

The system was such a rip-off.

[Countdown: (1) Take the initiative and ask for your WeChat. Countdown: 6 minutes 09 seconds.]

Dong Linlin entered with a radiant smile, contracts in hand. Qin Shuang and Zhang Wen followed behind her.

The two women were in completely different states. Zhang Wen looked excited, her gaze at Li Xian sparkling with emotion, while Qin Shuang's smile looked forced, and her gaze toward Li Xian was extremely complicated.

Zhang Wen had clearly won their earlier contest. Li Xian really was a low-key nouveau riche—and an impatient one at that.

But no one had expected the deal to close so quickly. It hadn't even been twenty minutes, directly breaking the record for the fastest sale.

Not only that, he was buying two houses at once. That was going too far. He wasn't leaving anyone else a chance. Who could possibly break this sales record in the future?

Dong Linlin sat opposite Li Xian and spread the contracts across the table. "Mr. Li, let me confirm this with you. You definitely want both apartments, A and B, on the thirty-first floor of Building 16, correct?"

Li Xian's attention wasn't on the contracts at all. It was on Dong Linlin. He said seriously, "Don't you want my VX?"

"Huh?" Dong Linlin froze.

Li Xian hurriedly took out his phone and opened the QR code. "If you want to add me, hurry up. I'm in a rush."

P.S. Please recommend, invest, and tip. I'd appreciate everyone's support.
