Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan hung up Wang Erhai's call, her mood somewhat low, but she took a deep breath and soon adjusted her state.

She was not like Wang Dashan, who would be controlled by emotions, nor could she become a slave to emotions.

Having come from the rural area and struggled for so many years, she could achieve today's accomplishments precisely because she always kept rationality in her heart, her eyes could see through the pros and cons of things, and she had a strong, decisive inner heart.

It cannot be denied that she had once loved Wang Dashan, and it was true love; otherwise she could not have agreed to Wang Dashan's confession, nor so actively given herself to Wang Dashan.

But after getting along for a period of time, she was very clear in her heart that she and Wang Dashan were not suitable, and she must quickly cut everything with Wang Dashan, no longer having any entanglement with Wang Dashan.

The experience of the previous two relationships made her deeply understand one principle: the biggest taboo in love is unclear entanglement, which not only consumes one's spirit and energy but also leads to no good result.

So from the moment she proposed breaking up with Wang Dashan, she had already made up her mind not to give Wang Dashan any chance again.

No matter how Wang Dashan looked at it or said it, she would not care.

She was not the kind of person who cared about face and suffered for it; what she cared more about was her own feelings and her own interests.

Living well oneself is truly good.

If because of so-called love, she had to wrong herself, accommodate others, make herself humble and unrecognizable, and give up her original principles and bottom line, then she would rather not have this love.

After all, life is not only about love; life is colorful, and love is just a very small part of it.

"Sister Juan, last month's financial report is out, please take a look."

Not long after Du Xiaojuan hung up Wang Erhai's call, an employee walked into her office and handed her last month's company financial report.

"The cooperation project with General Manager Xu that we talked about last year has finally taken effect; last month because of that project, our revenue nearly doubled! Last month's revenue has exceeded ten million!"

The employee had a smile on his face, reporting the good news.

Revenue does not mean profit; for some big companies, monthly revenue exceeding ten million is not a big deal at all, but for a small company like Du Xiaojuan's, it is absolutely a huge piece of good news.

Du Xiaojuan looked at the financial report data and nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad; it seems my efforts were not in vain."

Du Xiaojuan felt very fortunate in her heart that around the Spring Festival, she had not given up meeting and negotiating with General Manager Xu because she had to go to Wang Dashan's home; if she had given up meeting and negotiating with General Manager Xu at that time, there would be no such revenue growth now.

At this time, the employee said again:

"Sister Juan, the several products you selected before have already been listed for testing, and the data that came out is not bad; do you want to formally launch promotion?"

Du Xiaojuan looked at the test data; it was indeed not bad, so she said:

"Then start investing; coincidentally, we earned quite a lot last month, company funds are sufficient, we can invest a bit more to make the product strong and big."

Anyone who has done e-commerce knows that in this line, what burns the most money is not employee salaries, but investment in channel promotion.

To make a product rank in the top ten of its category, it is almost impossible without burning several million.

Some popular major categories may even require burning tens of millions.

However, the more invested, the greater the returns may be.

But the risks involved will also be greater.

Du Xiaojuan was very experienced in controlling risks; she would control the invested funds well, and at most she would take out all of last month's profit to invest, not pouring money in to invest; that way, even if it did not work out and they lost money in the end, it would not cause problems with the company's cash flow.

What Du Xiaojuan did not expect was that after she formally invested money in promotion, the data from those selected products actually turned out better than during testing, and two of them directly became bestsellers.

She was overjoyed and quickly increased the promotion efforts.

Seeing that the prospects were bright, the atmosphere in the company was very good.

When employees went to work, their faces were full of joy, because they knew that this month's bonus might be quite a lot, possibly even offsetting the salaries of the previous few months.

Du Xiaujan therefore put the matter of feelings behind her; now the company was in a stage of rapid growth, she was busy to the point of being overwhelmed but also happy, where would she have the mind to care about those small matters of love?

On the other side, Wang Dashan's Shanhai Real Estate was a different scene.

These days Wang Dashan worked very hard at running business.

He was looking for customers all day without stopping.

He worked more than fifteen hours every day.

But even so, he still could not reverse the company's declining trend.

This day a customer came to the company on his own initiative, saying he wanted to buy a second-hand house and wanted Wang Dashan to help show the property; the other party clearly stated the residential complex and specific floor location of the second-hand house he wanted, obviously well-prepared.

Wang Dashan could not care about so much anymore; he had already reached the point of being unable to be choosy; as long as the deal could be made, it was fine; he needed this order too much, so he immediately agreed, and charged only one percent commission.

The other party was also straightforward and immediately reached an agreement.

So he soon took that customer to connect with the owner of that second-hand house, completed all the transfer procedures for the house, received the money, and the matter was done.

After completing this order, the gloom in Wang Dashan's heart vanished completely.

Although this order was not big, earning only over ten thousand, it gave Wang Dashan a very strong premonition that this was a turning point; after this order, Shanhai Real Estate should reverse its declining trend and start getting on the right track!

However, what Wang Dashan did not expect was that this order not only did not reverse Shanhai Real Estate's declining trend, but instead brought him great trouble!

It turned out that this customer was a order-jumping customer!

What is an order-jumping customer?

Simply put, this customer originally viewed this house under another intermediary company's showing and liked it, but he disliked that intermediary company's commission as too much, and turned to find another intermediary company to handle it.

Wang Dashan's small company, lacking platform advantage, generally gave concessions to customers and charged a very low commission rate, so that chicken-thief customer actively came to his door.

Wang Dashan indeed gained some profit from this, but the intermediary company that was jumped was not happy.

That was a branch company of a very large real estate intermediary.

After they learned of this matter, they immediately came to Shanhai Real Estate to argue.

"Brother, you so openly and brazenly intercepted our company's order; that does not conform to industry rules, is it not a bit unrighteous?"

Xu Mingxin, General Manager of the Anjia Real Estate Gangding Branch, brought several employees directly to the Shanhai Real Estate storefront and questioned Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan looked up and saw Xu Mingxin approaching aggressively, and was stunned.

"What are you all doing?"

He knew these people before him meant no good.
