Chapter 32 Are you going to sizzle, or am I?
It wasn't that he looked down on female salespeople; when he had bought the 4 Series at BMW, the female salesperson who attended to him only knew about prices and discounts. She didn't understand the differences in configurations as well as he did.
His question was mainly to test the depth of Chen Na, to see how solid her relationship with her boyfriend was, and whether she could be corroded by money.
After all, Shen Yuan only had Fang Minhui as a cash tree at the moment, and the cashback she generated was limited, so he could only seek out a few more.
The best scenario would be to expand further, to bloom in all aspects!
It would be a waste not to fleece the System.
Of course, the primary reason was that Chen Na's appearance and figure were top-notch; spending money on such a woman was worth it.
If Chen Na also wanted to have some indescribable relationship with him, Shen Yuan wouldn't mind too much.
However, he hadn't expected that Chen Na would reply on WeChat after a short while, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I have plans tomorrow night."
Shen Yuan stared blankly at the screen, sighing softly in his heart. It was clear that Chen Na was tactfully rejecting him.
It seemed he had underestimated this female saleswoman.
Perhaps she wasn't that materialistic.
In that case, he would have to look for other female NPCs.
Inside the apartment, Chen Na's expression was conflicted and hesitant. She looked at her phone screen, unsure if what she had just sent was the right thing to say.
She was a saleswoman, dealing with all kinds of customers every day, and she knew men's thoughts all too well. She naturally understood the implications of her words.
It was said online that some female salespeople would engage in "PY transactions" with male customers to boost their sales.
Indeed, such situations did exist, and even happened around Chen Na.
But she wouldn't do that; she wasn't that kind of woman.
With customers who hinted at such things in the past, Chen Na would casually deal with a few words and move on. But with a customer like Shen Yuan, she didn't want to offend him.
But then again, what if Mr. Shen didn't have any other intentions and really was just asking about the car issues?
After a struggle within her, Chen Na thought she might as well agree to meet him once, taking it as an apology for tonight.
"Because tomorrow is Sunday and the dealership will be busy, can we meet the day after tomorrow?"
After sending the WeChat message, Chen Na felt relieved. It was, at most, just having a meal and chat, nothing more, and she could just put on an act.
"Ding-dong~"
"Ding-dong~"
Almost simultaneously two messages popped up on WeChat. Chen Na picked up her phone, thinking it was a reply from Shen Yuan, but it turned out to be WeChat messages from Xie Haijie and another man.
Seeing these two unread messages, Chen Na couldn't help but frown.
The first was an apologetic message from Xie Haijie, with the usual "I was wrong," "I won't do it again next time," "I'm sorry, Nana," and so on.
Chen Na was not moved by this kind of message as she was too disappointed by this man's behavior today.
Firstly, while their relationship was still unstable, he rashly took her to meet his friends.
Chen Na even suspected that Xie Haijie had brought her there just for the sake of appearance, as normally with his social standing, he wouldn't be able to join such gatherings.
Moreover, at the dinner, to seem sociable or to please those people, he started to maliciously criticize Shen Yuan.
If it was just vanity, it would have been forgivable; however, this behavior obviously touched on moral issues.
What was key was that after coming out of the private dining room, knowing he was at fault, he didn't look for the reasons within himself but started blaming others!
Chen Na wondered how she had even started liking such a person.
But fortunately, they hadn't been together for long, just over half a month, and their interaction was limited to holding hands.
It was still not too late for her to extricate herself from the situation.
So, faced with Xie Haijie's WeChat message, Chen Na simply chose not to reply.
The other message was from Zeng Xianyong. Seeing the obscene content inside, Chen Na felt even more disgusted.
Zeng Xianyong was the general manager of their dealership, a position higher than the sales manager, essentially the top administrator of a 4S shop.
Zeng Xianyong was in his forties this year, already married with a family, yet he still often flirted around outside.
Taking advantage of his position as the store's general manager, he frequently extended his predatory claws toward the sales staff or other female colleagues in different departments.
The methods were all old tricks, nothing more than a mix of intimidation, enticement, and gentle coaxing.
Girls who were just starting out in their jobs, with little social experience, were easily ensnared.
According to Chen Na's understanding, quite a few good-looking female colleagues had already fallen into his trap.
Chen Na was no exception and was often harassed by Zeng Xianyong.
He would always send her sleazy, shameless messages on WeChat.
Thankfully, her strong attitude and decent sales figures in the store meant that Zeng Xianyong did not dare to force things.
Now, looking at the messages he sent, her mood soured even more, and she felt like blocking him right away.
But there wasn't much she could do; the job paid quite well, and though there were many upsetting matters, it brought her an income of ten to twenty thousand a month.
Ten to twenty thousand may seem like a lot, but Chen Na's expenses were also high, from renting an apartment and daily spending to buying clothes and skincare products, the money was quickly depleted.
That's why she couldn't bear to resign; resigning and looking for a new job may not necessarily land her something suitable.
Ah, if only she didn't have to work!
...
When Shen Yuan received Chen Na's WeChat message, he had already arrived at the school.
It seemed that Chen Na was still not averse to him, which was a good start.
Spending money on Fang Minhui alone, not to mention whether Fang Minhui would find it suspicious, even Shen Yuan himself couldn't justify it.
Anybody would start to have doubts.
Money was plenty, but not to be wasted like this.
Shen Yuan thought to himself, and without realizing it, he had walked up to the 5th floor of the dormitory; yet just as he reached the 5th floor, something dark in the corner of the staircase gave him a scare.
Shen Yuan looked closely at the figure, which seemed somewhat familiar, only to see him squatting in the corner of the corridor, silently smoking.
At his feet, there were already a dozen cigarette butts.
Who's that? Damn scary in the middle of the night.
Shen Yuan instinctively went closer to have a look, and the more he looked, the more he was taken aback.
Wasn't this Li Zhanpeng?
Shen Yuan's brain momentarily crashed, wasn't Li Zhanpeng supposed to be jubilant today because he had booked a BMW? Why did he look like this now?
Shen Yuan had even received a video especially sent by Huang Haibao that day, showing Li Zhanpeng at a dinner party, speaking with fervent enthusiasm and a joyful countenance.
How come he turned emo all of a sudden?
Shen Yuan didn't understand what had happened but wanted to go pat his shoulder and comfort him, saying, "No matter what happens, everything will get better."
But considering they weren't close, he eventually decided not to interfere.
Pushing open the door to room 503, an inquisitive Shen Yuan asked, "What's up with Li Zhanpeng? I just saw him smoking alone in the stairwell."
"Probably got rejected by the class belle, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."
Huang Haibao was playing LOL and casually responded upon seeing Shen Yuan come back.
However, Huang Haibao was actually quite pleased inwardly; if Li Zhanpeng got rejected, it meant that he, Old Huang, still had a chance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself that a rejection was inevitable, considering the class belle already had her heart set on someone.
Cao Shunjin was reading a novel on his bed and joined in the conversation when he put down his phone, gazing wistfully at the ceiling, "I wonder what kind of guy the class belle likes?"
Huang Haibao commented with some validity, "To be fair, Li Zhanpeng does have his small flaws, a strong vanity and a penchant for showing off, but he is devoted in relationships, and his family background is indeed not bad; I don't really understand why she would reject Li Zhanpeng."
Shen Yuan replied, "Could it be possible that the class belle is into looks and likes someone handsome like me?"
At those words, both Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were momentarily stunned, then catching on, Huang Haibao was the first to say, "Old Cao, should you pee on him or should I?"
"You do it, your pee is yellower."
