Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

That young couple was stopped by Wang Dashan; at first they showed a hint of resistance, but in the end they were moved by Wang Dashan's sincerity and decided to stay and communicate a bit more.

It turned out they felt the price was a bit high, but were too embarrassed to haggle.

Young people, unlike the aunties buying vegetables by the street who dare to bargain, when they see a high price they turn around and leave without saying much more.

Wang Dashan said to Zhang Zhihao:

"Boss, why not give them a discount? We earn a little less, close the deal, count it as a win-win."

Zhang Zhihao frowned tightly instead:

"That laptop model you want is the highest-spec version; the price I'm giving them is already the lowest on the market, I really can't discount it further."

Zhang Zhihao was telling the truth; other shops could offer lower prices, but they might have tampered with the specs.

He ran an honest business, one price for one penny's worth, so he could only offer this price; any lower and he'd be selling at a loss.

"In that case, sorry, we'll go look elsewhere."

The young couple could only say this.

But Wang Dashan panicked and hurriedly grabbed the man:

"I'll give you an eighty-yuan discount, how about that?"

The reason Wang Dashan offered an eighty-yuan discount was that his commission on one computer was eighty yuan; he planned to forgo his commission and subsidize it himself to clinch an opening sale.

However, the young couple seemed uninterested in an eighty-yuan discount.

"Why don't we still go look elsewhere..."

The woman pulled the man, about to leave.

"How about a hundred-yuan discount, okay? I just started this job, this order is very important to me!"

Perhaps moved by Wang Dashan's simplicity and sincerity.

In the end, this order actually went through.

The young couple bought the laptop model they had taken a fancy to.

Zhang Zhihao found this somewhat laughable:

"You making decisions on your own like this isn't very good."

But Wang Dashan said:

"Count this computer as sold by me; deduct the hundred-yuan discount from my salary. Originally the commission was eighty yuan, I don't want that commission, and deduct another twenty from my base salary—is that okay?"

Zhang Zhihao was stunned.

Who does sales like this!

Actually paying out of pocket to close a deal—he was seeing this for the first time.

But immediately after, he couldn't help but look at Wang Dashan with new respect.

He felt Wang Dashan was promising material; just with this streak of sincerity, he would surely be able to make a stand in this line of work.

"Forget it, seeing how proactive and enthusiastic you are, I won't deduct your money; the eighty-yuan commission is still yours."

Zhang Zhihao said this.

Wang Dashan hurriedly smiled and thanked him:

"Thank you then, Hao Ge; you're really a good person, just like our company commander!"

Zhang Zhihao was stunned:

"You used to be a soldier?"

"Yes!" Wang Dashan smiled and replied, "I just retired from the army this year; isn't that why I came to Guangzhou to find work?"

Zhang Zhihao laughed heartily:

"No wonder you have such a good physique and such a straightforward personality; turns out you're a retired soldier!"

Zhang Zhihao looked Wang Dashan up and down, then said:

"Judging by your build and looks, you definitely have an advantage over me in receiving female customers; when female customers come in the future, you introduce the products to them."

But Wang Dashan's face turned slightly red, and he said embarrassedly:

"Hao Ge, aren't you making things difficult for me? From childhood to adulthood, I've hardly spoken to female classmates, and after joining the army I've had even less interaction with girls."

Zhang Zhihao just laughed:

"Just like just now, say what you have to say directly, be more generous, don't be hesitant; I believe in your ability!"

Zhang Zhihao had just finished saying this when, at that moment, a female customer happened to walk in.

This female customer dressed fashionably, was fair-skinned and beautiful, carrying a designer bag—at a glance she was a rich person from the city.

Zhang Zhihao immediately gave Wang Dashan a look.

Wang Dashan felt somewhat nervous and flustered inside; he really didn't know how to talk to women, but since Zhang Zhihao had made the request, he had to grit his teeth and go for it.

It was just like an order issued by his superior in the army; even if he had to grit his teeth, he had to complete the mission.

"Cough, cough, hello, please, may I ask, what kind of computer do you want to buy?"

Facing this fair-skinned, beautiful young woman before him, Wang Dashan was actually somewhat clumsy and stage-shy, no longer as generous and proactive as when facing that young couple earlier.

"I want to buy a laptop; do you have any good recommendations?"

The young woman looked up at Wang Dashan and felt this person was rather silly and dazed.

Wang Dashan blurted out:

"I'm not too sure either. I just started today. To be honest, I don't know much about computers. Why don't you let our Boss introduce the products to you instead!"

The young woman looked a bit speechless:

"Don't know much about computers, then why did you come work in sales?"

Wang Dashan could only let out a dry laugh:

"Well, going from zero to one, there's always a learning process, right? As long as I'm willing to learn, I believe I'll definitely be able to master it."

Zhang Zhihao on the side, seeing Wang Dashan spill all his shortcomings in one go, couldn't help but cover his face and sigh.

Right, this sale, it's probably going to fall through.

However, what Zhang Zhihao didn't expect was.

The young woman looked Wang Dashan up and down, but at this moment she laughed out loud:

"Alright then, I'll give you a chance. Give me a reason to buy a computer from you. If you can convince me, I'll buy it right here."

Wang Dashan thought for a moment, then said:

"On top of the lowest price the Boss can give, I can give you another eighty yuan discount... no, make it another one hundred sixty yuan discount!"

The young woman looked puzzled:

"Why one hundred sixty yuan discount, and not one hundred or two hundred?"

Wang Dashan answered honestly:

"My commission for selling a computer is eighty yuan per unit. I just sold one. If this one sells too, then I'll have one hundred sixty yuan in commission."

The young woman was stunned, a trace of surprise appearing on her face:

"So, even if you don't make money, you still want to sell the computer?"

Wang Dashan grinned foolishly:

"Yeah. After all, it's my first job. Hao Ge was willing to take me in, so I definitely have to try my best to help him sell more stuff. He gives me a base salary of one thousand yuan, I can actually already survive on that. Commission and all, for someone like me who just started working, it doesn't matter whether I have it or not. The main thing is to be able to learn the skills."

The young woman couldn't help but look at Wang Dashan with new eyes. Perhaps she was moved by Wang Dashan's sincerity, or perhaps she was captivated by Wang Dashan's tall and handsome appearance. In the end, she made a decision that neither Wang Dashan nor Zhang Zhihao could have anticipated:

"This one, this one, and this one too. I'll take all three of these laptops."

Wang Dashan and Zhang Zhihao immediately showed surprise and delight.

They completely didn't expect this young woman to be so generous, actually buying three laptops in one go!

And all three are pricey brand-name goods!
