"No, we must close a deal quickly, otherwise we really won't be able to hold on!"

Inside Shanhai Real Estate, Wang Dashan smoked with a worried frown, looking at this month's expenses, his brow deeply furrowed.

He seemed to be speaking to Wang Erhai, yet also seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Big Brother, I want to close a deal quickly too, but I've called until my phone is smoking, and no one is willing to buy a house."

Wang Erhai was also full of helplessness, and he couldn't help but complain:

"I originally thought selling houses would be very simple, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult; this is much harder than selling computers for Hao Ge……"

Wang Erhai's dejection was understandable; for nearly two months he had been making calls, encountering all kinds of clients, but had not met a client willing to buy a house through him as an intermediary.

Constantly consuming, constantly receiving no positive feedback—doing anything under such circumstances would surely be a heavy blow.

It was like studying: coming in last every single time would surely create an aversion to learning.

"Big Brother, what do you think we should do? We must make a change; surely something went wrong, which is why we haven't closed a single deal until now, but I don't know where the mistake is. You tell me, where is the problem?"

Wang Dashan fell into thought; he reviewed the work of these days and found there was actually no problem with the process.

Everything he was doing now almost one hundred percent replicated what he had done at Zhongyuan Real Estate.

But why could he sell houses at Zhongyuan Real Estate, yet now, starting his own business, he couldn't sell any?

Wang Dashan had little education, so for a moment he couldn't realize that this was the difference between a large platform and a small platform, the difference in user trust.

He pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

In the end, he actually made a decision that even surprised Wang Erhai.

"How about I go find Cheng Cheng? Let her buy another house from me to tide us over."

Wang Erhai was immediately stunned:

"You mean that wealthy lady who bought the villa before?"

Wang Dashan nodded:

"Yes, it's her."

Wang Erhai muttered:

"Are you sure she's still willing to buy a house from you?"

Wang Dashan was full of confidence:

"As long as I contact her proactively, she should be willing! After all, she's not short of money, and she has a good impression of me!"

Wang Erhai then showed a strange expression:

"Big Brother, if that wealthy lady makes excessive demands on you, then you……"

Wang Erhai hesitated, too embarrassed to continue.

Wang Dashan was expressionless, saying:

"Then I will agree to her. For Shanhai Real Estate, I'm willing to do anything."

"But……"

"No buts. Du Xiaojuan and I have already broken up for nearly three months. Whatever I do is my freedom."

Wang Erhai's gaze was complex:

"Big Brother, you really don't plan to go find Du Xiaojuan? As long as you go find her, she should give you money. Didn't she say before that even if she broke up with you, she would invest in you? As long as she keeps investing in you, you wouldn't need to go find that wealthy lady at all."

Wang Dashan said:

"If I have to go find Du Xiaojuan, I'd rather go find Cheng Cheng."

Wang Dashan was holding back a breath of anger in his heart.

He wanted to prove to Du Xiaojuan that even without her, he could still succeed.

This was the reason why he would rather go find Cheng Cheng than go find Du Xiaojuan.

This afternoon, Wang Dashan found Cheng Cheng's contact information again, pulling Cheng Cheng's mobile phone number, WeChat, QQ, and other contact information out of the blacklist.

He proactively called Cheng Cheng:

"Auntie Cheng, are you doing well recently?"

"Who are you?" Cheng Cheng's sweet and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm Dashan. Last year you bought a villa from me, and you said you would invest in me. Don't you remember?"

Wang Dashan said this.

"Oh, Wang Dashan." Cheng Cheng suddenly realized, then smiled: "You little fellow, you blocked all my contact information without a word. I thought we would never meet again from now on."

Wang Dashan's face was full of apology, and he hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry, I'm truly sorry. It was my fault."

He hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to tell a lie. He continued to explain:

"It was my ex-girlfriend who used my phone to delete you. I even had a big argument with her because of this. Now we have broken up."

When telling such a lie, Wang Dashan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, even feeling a sense of panic and guilt.

Because he had always taken sincerity as his principle, always feeling that one should be upright and not tell lies.

But now, at the critical moment of life and death for Shanhai Real Estate, in order for the small company he founded with his own hands to survive, he had no choice but to give up his principles.

"Broken up so quickly? You young people, you really don't take feelings seriously, do you." Cheng Cheng pretended to be surprised, but then laughed, her gentle voice asking:

"What do you want from me? Did you encounter some difficulty? If you encounter difficulty, just tell Auntie."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was immediately overjoyed, feeling that his Shanhai Real Estate was saved!

"Auntie Cheng, didn't you say you wanted to invest in my company before? My company is already open for business now, so what do you think..."

"I'm soaking in hot springs at Julong Bay right now. I'm giving you one hour; come over immediately, and we'll talk face to face." Cheng Cheng interrupted Wang Dashan's words and made this request.

"Julong Bay... one hour..."

Wang Dashan's face showed a look of difficulty.

He knew where Julong Bay was; it was not far from his hometown county town, a fairly famous hot spring hotel.

But from his Shanhai Company to Julong Bay, one hour simply wasn't enough to get there!

It would take at least one hour and ten minutes to arrive!

He was about to ask Cheng Cheng if she could give him a bit more time.

However, before he could speak, Cheng Cheng said:

"Hurry up and hit the road, don't dawdle. Auntie dislikes men who drag their feet the most. Additionally, Auntie also very much dislikes men who aren't punctual. You said you'd arrive in one hour, so you must arrive in one hour. I'm starting the timer now."

Wang Dashan had no choice but to quickly say:

"Okay, okay, I'm coming right away!"

Wang Dashan hung up the phone, quickly went outside to the roadside, and hailed a taxi.

"Master, to Julong Bay in Fogang County!"

"Going out of the city district? Then I'm not going!"

Ordinary taxis are generally unwilling to leave the city district, because once outside the district, they can't pick up passengers on the way back, which would mean a loss.

"Flat fare, two hundred yuan, hurry up and go!" Wang Dashan didn't want to waste time, so he named his price directly.

The driver saw his urgency through the rearview mirror and immediately took advantage of him:

"Minimum five hundred yuan."

Wang Dashan still wanted to haggle:

"Would four hundred work?"

The driver said directly:

"Minimum six hundred now."

Wang Dashan was furious.

He really wanted to get out of the car, but looking at the highway outside, there were no taxis passing by.

He knew that taxis rarely passed by his company's door normally.

This taxi probably just happened to pass by here after dropping off a passenger.

If he got out to look for another taxi, it would probably take at least ten or twenty more minutes to find another taxi!

And what he couldn't waste most right now was time, so he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and agreed:

"Six hundred it is! Hurry up and depart. Drive as fast as you can. You must arrive at Julong Bay within one hour!"

The driver's face showed a brilliant smile:

"Alright! Rest assured, I'm famous for being fast!"

After saying this, the driver slammed the accelerator and immediately set off.
