Chapter 1726: Chapter 1825: Plans

The college entrance exams are over, it’s time to go to Shen City!" Su Zhe is driving the car, planning his next steps.

Tencent Company definitely needs a visit, and the sooner the better. Previously, the college exams delayed it, and now that the exams are over, it’s time for Zhe to meet the legendary Brother Ma and see how... awesome he is now? Okay, maybe he has fallen from grace!

Currently, Tencent definitely isn’t doing well.

Even if the acquisition doesn’t happen this time, meeting the "Boss" from the previous life is quite necessary.

At least to establish a presence so that when Tencent Group truly faces a crisis, the first person they think of will definitely be me.

By that time, the acquisition will naturally fall into place.

Su Zhe’s plan is just that. But before going to Shen City, he has to settle the investment company.

Otherwise, there’s no excuse to go, and besides, the car registration has been delayed for almost a month, and flying to Shen City means going to Jinling Lukou Airport, which is a perfect chance to get things sorted.

Thinking this way, Su Zhe took out his phone and called the dealership where he bought the flashy Mercedes.

"Hello, Mr. Su!" Chen Ran looked at the caller ID on the speakerphone, feeling a bit odd inside.

A few days ago, she and Su Zhe actually spoke on the phone, but because the college exams were approaching, after just a few words, Su Zhe hung up the call.

"Yes, it’s me. Sorry about last time, I was in class." Su Zhe smiled slightly, and Chen Ran hurriedly said, "It’s okay, sir, I understand!"

"Well, as long as you understand, I’m coming to Jinling tomorrow!"

"Get the stuff ready, I’ll register and leave!"

Su Zhe is quite confident in Chen Ran’s work because before the exams, Chen Ran would call to remind him about car issues and maintenance tips, showing great care and thoughtfulness. In 2019, this level of service is quite normal, as the service industry as a whole has improved a lot.

But in 1999, customer maintenance and service were still rather rough.

Chen Ran did these things with no bonus or assessment, so it was purely her way of maintaining customer relations.

"Mr. Su, are you... busy?" Chen Ran suddenly asked quietly, and Su Zhe was slightly taken aback, immediately replying, "Not busy, just finished the college exams and I’m driving. What’s up?"

"Well, since you’re driving, never mind, stay safe!"

After saying this, Chen Ran unexpectedly hung up the phone.

Su Zhe stared at his phone, feeling a bit confused about the situation. In his impression, Chen Ran would never hang up the call first, she would always wait for Su Zhe to press the hang-up button before hanging up herself.

This time was obviously unusual. Su Zhe parked the car by the roadside and was about to call back when an unfamiliar number called him.

His instinct told him it might be Chen Ran.

Su Zhe pressed answer.

Sure enough, a sweet voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Su, it’s me, Chen Ran!"

Chen Ran was speaking breathily, and Su Zhe squinted slightly and guessed, "Are you... using a public phone now?"

"Yes, company phones have recording, I couldn’t say it there!"

"Actually, I’ve been meaning to tell you in the past few days, but you were busy with exams, so I didn’t... Your car plate, Mr. Chu says he wants to charge you 100,000 yuan for it? 100,000? This price for four nines isn’t actually expensive, especially for a Su A plate. But in ’99, this price is kind of outrageous."

This is definitely a case of demanding an exorbitant price. When Su Zhe heard it, he felt like a rich idiot but ordered my boss to directly quote you, offering me a commission of 10,000. The more I thought about it, the more something felt off, so I secretly checked the registration costs of other clients once and found someone paid 8,000 for a 5555 plate." I thought the difference for the same four-digit number was too big, right?"

Chen Ran said it all in one breath, but Su Zhe instead laughed, "Are you stupid?"

"Huh?" Chen Ran lifted her head, eyes full of confusion, "Why? How did I become stupid?"

"How dangerous is this, secretly checking others’ registration records, what if someone finds out?"

"Ignoring the 10,000 commission, you still tell me this. Are you prepared to do sales?"

Su Zhe truly found Chen Ran endearingly naive. Any other salesperson wouldn’t have said this to him.

But Chen Ran even switched phones to tell him the truth from start to finish.

To put it bluntly, she seemed a bit like a backstabber but helped the customer anyway.

"No, I just thought 100,000 is too expensive and you probably wouldn’t agree, right?" Chen Ran chuckled, "I didn’t want you to misunderstand me, so I honestly shared. I figured you would definitely see the trick!"

"Oh?"

"You know me that well?" Su Zhe didn’t expect Chen Ran to trust his intelligence like this.

"Definitely, with your bargaining skills, car plates are a piece of cake," Chen Ran said lightly.

"Hmm, clever!"

"100,000... not only would I not agree, just thinking about it feels off. Your boss must be thinking he didn’t make money off me last time and wants to scam me now?"

Prepare to go to Shen City! 15 16 Su Zhe coldly laughed, "Okay, leave this to me. You’re caught in the middle as a salesperson, too hard to handle!"

"After all, you have to work!"

Su Zhe was considering Chen Ran’s situation. She was a young girl and if her boss found out, she’d be in trouble, not to mention she really was trusting and genuine. Customers indeed appreciated her responsibility.

"Okay, then I’m heading back!" Chen Ran said before hanging up the phone, and Su Zhe shook his head without words, finding her amusing every time.

This time was no exception.

Who does sales like this? As the saying goes, frequently walking by the river, who doesn’t get wet? Not getting found out this time is okay, but next time, what about the time after that?

If found out, that would be the end. Although it’s for the customers, it’s too excessive to maintain it, and obviously, companies won’t allow this!

"This girl isn’t suited for a car sales career." Su Zhe chuckled, deciding to talk to Chen Ran properly the next day. If possible, his company indeed needs someone responsible for maintaining customer relations.

In venture capital, customers are God.

Su Zhe is undoubtedly unsuitable for customer-contact jobs, but Chen Ran is perfect for them. She’s personable, analytical, and naturally considers the customer’s perspective when solving problems. These are the finest qualities of a liaison. It’s just... she’s naively cute.

However, this is likely due to her just entering society; a few years of work should improve it!

Thinking this way, Su Zhe started the car and drove home.

Su Zhe returned home, surprisingly finding Zhong Linghua had finished work early.

"Mom, you’re home so early today?" Su Zhe spoke with a look of surprise, while Zhong Linghua stared at her son, "Son, don’t be sad. If you can’t get into Qinghua, we can do something else!"

Hmm? Su Zhe thought his mom’s thoughts were different from other people. Ordinary moms have full confidence in their sons.

She’s the opposite, always thinking Su Zhe isn’t good at anything.

"I heard this year’s college entrance exam is known as the toughest ever, especially math and language. Little Juan’s son came home crying and intends to redo the exams!"

Little Juan is Su Zhe’s mom’s colleague at the factory, and her son is also taking the college entrance exam and attends Su City No.1 Middle School, definitely the best school in Su City. The top college entrance rate reaches 50%, with almost half the students getting into top institutions.

Little Juan often boasted in front of Su Zhe’s mom about her son’s excellent performance, like a model kid belonging to other families.

Now even such a kid has done poorly on the exams, Su Zhe’s performance is all too predictable.
