Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
The young woman's name was Du Xiaojuan; don't be fooled by her youth — she was only in her early twenties — but she was actually the boss of a startup company.
She did e-commerce, and in recent years she happened to catch the trend, making quite a lot of money.
This year Taobao's mobile client launched, which was an even bigger trend within the trend.
Du Xiaojuan didn't miss out on this wave of dividends.
This time she came to Computer City to personally pick out laptops, intending to reward the top three performing employees under her.
She was generous and not stingy at all, so these laptops gifted to employees were all quite valuable.
Seeing her buy three laptops at once, Wang Dashan was happy but also kindly reminded her:
"Sister, you actually don't need to buy this many; you're just one person, how would you use so many computers?"
Wang Dashan thought Du Xiaojuan was just being impulsive, and that she was moved by his sincerity, which was why she bought so many.
He had no idea that before Du Xiaojuan came here, she had long since decided to buy three laptops, which was why he so kindly reminded her.
Du Xiaojuan smiled and said:
"I'm buying these as rewards for employees, it's not an impulse purchase."
Hearing this, Wang Dashan couldn't help but let out an embarrassed laugh.
He felt a bit awkward inside; he had thought Du Xiaojuan fell for him at first sight and that was why she spent impulsively — turns out he was the one reading too much into it.
"Sister, you're actually a boss, really can't tell; you're only about twenty, and you're already a boss, that's impressive!"
Wang Dashan hurriedly praised her.
Du Xiaojuan just said:
"I just caught a good era, luckily made a bit of money; you're quite sincere when selling, can tell you've got potential in sales."
Wang Dashan grinned broadly, praised to the point of being a bit shy.
"It's only my first day on the job, what potential could I have? I just say whatever comes to mind, I can't fake it, I'm straight-tempered, and my conscience wouldn't let me do bad things."
Du Xiaojuan looked Wang Dashan up and down, pondered for a moment, then suddenly took the initiative to make a request:
"Handsome, how about you leave me your phone number? That way if there's any issue with these three laptops, I can call and consult you; if you don't want to leave a number, adding QQ as a friend works too."
But Wang Dashan just smiled foolishly:
"Actually I don't know much about computers; how about you just add my boss's phone number directly? For any after-sales issues ask him directly, he's the professional one."
Seeing Wang Dashan so foolishly honest, so single-minded he couldn't adapt, Zhang Zhihao couldn't stand watching anymore.
He hurriedly urged him:
"She's asking you to add her as a friend, so just add her; what's with all the nonsense? Add both the phone number and QQ friend!"
Wang Dashan could only smile and agree in the end.
Just like that, he exchanged contact numbers with Du Xiaojuan and added her as a QQ friend.
After Du Xiaojuan added Wang Dashan as a QQ friend, she immediately went to check his QQ Zone, and saw that his QQ Zone actually had photos from when he was a soldier in the army; her face immediately showed surprise and she exclaimed:
"Didn't expect you used to be a soldier! No wonder your physique is so good! Like Peng Yuyan!"
Wang Dashan's face was full of pride and smugness:
"Yeah, served two years in the army, just got discharged and came back not long ago!"
Du Xiaojuan didn't say anything more.
She paid, took the three laptops, turned around and left.
After Du Xiaojuan left, Zhang Zhihao immediately came over and patted Wang Dashan on the shoulder:
"You kid are something, simply this shop's lucky star; first day on the job and you actually sold four computers in a row! At this rate, won't you sell over a hundred computers in a month?"
Zhang Zhihao's words had an element of exaggeration; today was just Wang Dashan's good luck — only two customers came and he sold four computers.
Whether he'll have this kind of luck in the future, that's not certain.
"Hao Ge, thanks for the praise, it's just good luck!"
Wang Dashan smiled in reply.
Zhang Zhihao also smiled:
"Sincere people's luck is never bad; I think highly of this sincere drive of yours!"
He then walked to the cash register, took out five hundred yuan, and handed it to Wang Dashan.
Wang Dashan was immediately surprised:
"Hao Ge, what do you mean? Why give me so much money!"
Zhang Zhihao smiled and said:
"What's with the fuss? It's your commission bonus! You said you just came to Guangzhou to find work; I figure you probably don't have much money on you. Today you sold four computers, so I'm giving you the commission for all four upfront, so you'll have something to get by this month."
Wang Dashan was puzzled:
"Four computers, that's only three hundred twenty yuan; why give me five hundred?"
Zhang Zhihao chuckled:
"The extra part is a bonus for you, kid! Work hard; once you get the hang of the business, I believe you'll definitely make something of yourself!"
Wang Dashan was immediately deeply moved:
"Hao Ge, thank you! Didn't expect that fresh into society, the first boss I'd meet would be such a good person!"
Before, Wang Dashan had heard his dad Wang Changgen say that society is extremely treacherous, full of fraud and scams, full of unscrupulous merchants, and you have to be on guard everywhere.
But now that he had entered society, he discovered things were not as his old man had said.
This society still had warmth, still had sunshine.
Wang Dashan thought that perhaps his old man's words weren't wrong either; it was just that his luck was good, and he happened to run into good people.
In the evening after getting off work, Wang Dashan took the subway back to Tianhe Bus Station, and then from Exit A of Tianhe Bus Station walked back to the rental house in Yuanyuangang Village.
When he returned, he discovered Zhu Zhiming lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, looking tired.
"You're back, did you find work?"
Zhu Zhiming asked.
Wang Dashan laughed and said:
"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Zhu Zhiming was stunned, and hurriedly got up from the bed:
"Yo, judging by this look, you've already found a job?"
Wang Dashan grinned broadly:
"Found one, at Gangding I found a computer store doing sales!"
Zhu Zhiming was surprised:
"You know computers!"
Wang Dashan laughed and truthfully said:
"Don't really know them, I just casually asked if they were hiring, didn't expect the boss actually hired me, gave me 1000 yuan base salary plus 80 yuan commission per unit."
Zhu Zhiming shook his head and smiled wryly:
"You really have a big heart, you're not a computer professional, can you handle this sales job? Just afraid that after a month you won't sell many computers, get kicked out by the boss, that would simply be a waste of time!"
Zhu Zhiming spoke from the heart out of consideration for Wang Dashan, which was why he said such honest truth; in his view, Wang Dashan was ultimately still too young, fresh out into society and didn't understand the priority of matters, actually going to find this kind of sales work in a field completely unrelated to himself!
However, Wang Dashan laughed and said:
"I have confidence I'll do this job well, today I sold four computers! The boss even said I have great potential, and in a moment of happiness gave me five hundred yuan!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhiming was immediately stunned, dumbfounded, face full of incredulity.
Wang Dashan hurriedly urged:
"Don't just stand there stunned, hurry downstairs to eat, tonight I'm treating!"
