Finally Got a Car

Yang Ruoqian, deep in thought, walked towards the basic model A8L he had seen earlier.

 

Following him, Lu Shuyuan felt a bit puzzled. Didn't Chen just introduce this car?

 

However, she didn't give it much thought, perhaps the customer felt the introduction was insufficient.

 

So she went over, intending to provide more details, only to see that Yang Ruoqian wasn't asking any more questions. Instead, he opened the co-driver's door, lifted the engine hood, and began to inspect various parameters of the car.

 

"Mr. Yang, is there anything else you'd like to know?" Lu Shuyuan, somewhat confused, asked politely with a gentle smile.

 

After carefully checking the production date of the engine, headlights, and other parts, Yang Ruoqian confirmed that the car wasn't an old stock and calmly said, "So, the total cost is 750,000 yuan in cash, correct?"

 

"Yes..."

 

"Then invoice it."

 

Lu Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, her usually composed face showing surprise, her voice shaky, "Are... are you buying it?"

 

Yang Ruoqian replied indifferently, as if he was buying a few eggs at a market, "Yes, invoice it."

 

With that, Yang Ruoqian's image suddenly appeared more imposing, resembling a successful individual with a net worth of billions.

 

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

 

Once the saleswoman had left, Chang Zhiqing sighed, "Boss, with such spending, our company's profit pressure is high."

 

Yang Ruoqian, gazing at Lu Shuyuan's retreating figure, commented, "Don't you think this intern salesperson would be perfect as our receptionist?"

 

In terms of appearance, demeanor, and speech, she perfectly matched Yang Ruoqian's ideal for a front-desk position.

 

Chang Zhiqing leaned against the car door with a puzzled look, "So, you buy a car and on the side, poach another company's employee? She may be suitable as a receptionist, but boss, isn't it possible that, at this stage, whether our company has a receptionist or not doesn't make much of a difference?"

 

That's what you don't understand, I have plans to expand the company...

 

As the two chatted, they saw another saleswoman, holding the invoice, rushing towards them. But it wasn't Lu Shuyuan, it was Chen Duo.

 

Chen Duo approached with a professional smile, as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry for the inconvenience earlier. I had an urgent matter to attend to, so I asked my colleague to assist. You're buying the car in cash? Have you considered our interest-free loan option? We..."

 

True to her profession as a salesperson, she was trying to upsell without shame.

 

Having lived two lifetimes, Yang Ruoqian could see through this ruse instantly. He coldly interrupted, "Where is Ms. Lu?"

 

"She's busy with other tasks," Chen Duo replied, trying to divert the topic, "I'll handle the remaining procedures for you two..."

 

Any fool could tell that Chen Duo had swooped in to snatch the major deal from her junior colleague.

 

Is this car dealership so corrupt?

 

Lu Shuyuan clearly had better sales skills than Chen Duo, but she rarely got chances with clients. When she finally landed a potential client, her order was hijacked by a senior colleague.

 

Were it not for Yang Ruoqian's intention to recruit Lu Shuyuan, he would've left the dealership right then.

 

Fed up, Yang Ruoqian said sternly, "Ms. Chen, I've been very patient. Know your limits and don't treat people like fools. Bring Ms. Lu here, and don't make me repeat myself."

 

Chen Duo's face turned shades of red and green, but she dared not retaliate. Swallowing her pride, she forced a smile, "Alright, Mr. Yang. Please wait a moment, I'll get her."

 

With a deal worth 750,000 yuan at stake, she couldn't afford to offend such a customer.

 

After a while, Lu Shuyuan approached, holding various documents, her eyes red from crying. Clearly, this wasn't the first time she'd had a sale taken from her.

 

Yet her voice remained steady as she asked, "Mr. Yang, please check the contract, is everything in order?"

 

"Chang Zhiqing, help me look."

 

Chang Zhiqing stepped forward, flipping through the pages of the contract. After carefully scanning it, she nodded, "There's no issue."

 

"Go make the transfer." Yang Ruoqian didn't waste any words and was very straightforward.

 

"Please follow me." Lu Shuyuan gestured invitingly and then led the two to her office.

 

Once inside the office, as Chang Zhiqing was completing the final procedures, she suddenly heard her boss casually ask, "Lu, how much do you earn here?"

 

Lu Shuyuan answered without hiding anything, smiling, "A basic salary of 1500 yuan, with a commission of about 100-300 yuan for selling a low-end model and 500-1000 yuan for high-end models. If it's an overstocked car that has been in storage for a long time, I can get about 3000 yuan."

 

It sounded like a decent amount...

 

But what was the reality?

 

"How much do you actually take home every month?" Yang Ruoqian asked again.

 

Lu Shuyuan replied somewhat embarrassingly, "This deal of yours is actually the first I've closed."

 

"The first deal?" Yang Ruoqian was surprised, "This month?"

 

Given her demonstrated sales ability, she shouldn't be performing so poorly.

 

"Since I started working here..." Lu Shuyuan became even more embarrassed.

 

So, was Lu Shuyuan only earning a 1500 yuan salary every month?

 

With such a low wage, it's no wonder they can't retain employees...

 

Impressed by Lu Shuyuan, Yang Ruoqian directly proposed, "Would you be interested in working as a receptionist at our company? I'll pay you 5000 yuan a month, an eight-hour workday with no overtime. There's also the potential for promotion to higher HR positions in the future."

 

"Ah?" Lu Shuyuan was completely caught off guard by Yang Ruoqian's proposal and was frozen in place.

 

Having been sidelined for so long, she had considered changing jobs, but she never imagined she could earn 5000 yuan a month!

 

Such a generous boss who can buy luxury cars...

 

His company must be significant, with a brighter future than being a sales consultant at a 4S shop.

 

5000 yuan a month with potential promotions to higher HR positions in the future!

 

This offer was way better than what the 4S shop could provide.

 

Lu Shuyuan felt her heart racing and almost wanted to accept the offer on the spot.

 

"Once you've made a decision, give me a call." Seeing Lu Shuyuan's reaction, Yang Ruoqian knew he had nearly succeeded. He handed his business card to her, "The company's address is on there."

 

"Yes, yes... Oh, and congratulations on becoming a prestigious Audi owner. May the four rings light up your career and future. May the beauty of the world forever connect with you!"

 

Being overwhelmed with all the information, Lu Shuyuan almost forgot to say the most important phrase before handing over the car.

 

By this point, everything, including the temporary license plate, had been sorted out.

 

Looking at his newly acquired car, Yang Ruoqian felt like he had just bought a long-desired toy. He was eager to take it out for a spin.

 

"Chang Zhiqing, get in the car!" Yang Ruoqian said excitedly, "Let me take you for a ride!"
