Third person's POV.
∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞
Weeks has passed After the City Sex Cultural Festival and Lisa already forgot about the incident at the adult exhibition, Now Lisa resumes with her work.
Lisa works in a 4S Shop specializing in selling mid-range cars. She is a Sales Leader with several sales executive under her. There is another Sales Leader like her and both of them report to their Sales Manager, Old Wang. Lisa is one of the best sales person in her firm and she also seems to enjoy good rapport with her colleagues.
A/N: (the term "4S Shop" which I take it to mean a car showroom. They are so named in China for they offer the 4 'S' - Sale, Spare Part, (Post Sales) Service, Survey)
In the afternoon, a buff man walks into their shop. He is very big and wears a scruffy printed shirt - the type that is favoured by common workers. He is very tanned so he probably spends a lot of time doing outdoor labor. He wears shades and holds a cigarette between his fingers.
One of rookie sales walks up to him: "Hey brother, we do not sell trucks here."
Instead of taking offence, the man smiles, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "Can't I even take a look?"
Lisa then gives her staff a glare and walks over. Giving the man a polite smile, she looks pointedly at his cigarette. "Mister, this is a non-smoking area. Can I get you to throw away your cigarette?"
The man apologizes and stubs out his cigarette in an ash tray.
Lisa invites him to take a seat and pours him a cup of tea. Ignoring the uncomprehending looks sent her way, Lisa starts to chat with the customer.
She finds out that he is Mr Kim and he is here to look for a car for his younger brother. His brother is a closet nerd and can be rather difficult at times. "And he insists to choose his own (car) number!" he grouses.
Which means to say, Lisa thinks, he either has the money or the power to get his way.
Lisa continues to smile. "Mister, you have come to the right place. Our cars may not be flashy, but they are stylish and practical."
The man takes off his shades and returns her smile. "I like it. You are quick."
Lisa is surprised that Mr Kim is actually very good looking, but she wastes no time in telling him about their cars. "Would you be interested in an A4? It is one of our best-selling models."
"Hey Beautiful, are you not worried that a construction worker like me cannot afford your cars?"
Lisa laughs. "Aw, if you work in a construction site, you must be their construction Prince!" Inwardly, she thinks to herself - construction worker? Who are you trying to kid?
Having been in sales for several years, she has a lot of faith in her judgment. This man may not wear branded clothes but he has very strong presence. When someone implies that he is poor, his composure never slips and he is even able to smile to the speaker instead of getting angry. When asked to discard his cigarette, he displays good manners by complying politely.
In short, there is no way she can be wrong about him.
He drinks his tea and tells her "I do not like the A series. Do you have a R8?"
Despite guessing that this man is loaded, Lisa starts to feel excited. A R8 cost at least RMB2 million! She arranges for a test drive and feels like she has hit the jackpot when he decides to buy 2. "One for me, one for my brother." he explains.
She prepares the necessary paperwork and assures him that she can arrange for the cars to be ready for collection within the next few days. After collecting his signature and down-payment, she sends him off with a flourish and returns to a room of respectful looks.
******
Till night, Lisa can still feel the excitement of the day. She has sold expensive models before but today's deal is so straightforward! No wishy-washy questions. No haggling over the price. And 35% commission... no way, she has to call Rosie to share her joy!
Rosé is also very excited. Before Lisa gets a chance to speak, she gushes on about a Person that goes by the Name JK, she said that she read online today. Her company is looking to hire a consultant which is why she went researching and found him online . Mr JK is apparently a child genius who started university at 15 and is now an Associate Professor in their City B at age 25! The only sad thing about the whole affair is that Rosé cannot find his picture.
Lisa is more pragmatic. "I am sure he looks ugly. His IQ is already so high, how can mere mortals survive if he is so smart AND good looking? If he is good looking, I am sure his roommate or classmates would have poisoned him to death no less than 108 times!"
After talking about JK for a while, Lisa finally gets her chance to tell Rosé about her sale and Rosé perks up once again - yes, time for another dinner treat!
The doorbell rings and the girls say their goodnights. When Lisa gets to the door, she finds the delivery man with her dinner. Perhaps she is overly excited just now but she finds that she has lost her appetite now and she chucks the takeaway to one side.
That night, Lisa dreams that she is sleeping on a bed of RMB(Money).
