Chapter 219: Chapter 220: Encountering a Beauty on the Road

The young woman was stunned. She looked at Li Yang and said, "You... Are you psychic or something?"

Li Yang chuckled slyly. "So, I’m just asking, are you interested or not? You have to buy water anyway, and I see you’ve got quite a few pets here. Don’t underestimate the importance of water. It’s a major concern, right?"

The young woman thought for a moment. "Alright," she said. "But I think your veterinary skills are quite good. How about this? I can help you promote the water, but you have to agree to one condition. If we run into any tricky pet ailments here, you have to come and help. Is that okay?"

Li Yang considered it. ’It’s not a big deal,’ he thought, then said aloud, "Alright, but only if I’m free."

"Deal!" The young woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that we’ve struck a deal, I’d like to ask: how many people in this complex own pets?" Li Yang asked with a smile.

Qin Susu also stepped forward, looking at the young woman eagerly.

The young woman gave a wry smile and said to Li Yang, "I’m seriously impressed. Did you already know that a lot of people here own pets? Setting everything else aside, just our shop alone has served over five hundred customers from this complex."

’Oh my god!’

Li Yang almost burst out laughing.

"Then it’s settled! Here, here, Susu, give the owner our business card. Call us if you need to order water. Oh, and it’s on the house, of course!"

Qin Susu quickly handed over the business card.

Only then did the two of them walk out of the shop.

"You’re incredible!" Qin Susu couldn’t hold back any longer, slapping Li Yang firmly on the shoulder. "Come on, spill. How did you know there were so many pets here? And how did you pick this complex? You have to tell me everything!"

Li Yang smiled faintly, found a place to sit down, and then began to speak. "I was looking at a map earlier and noticed this complex is quite large. I did some research. In total, there are sixty-three buildings. Based on the regulations around here, they’re probably about seventeen stories each, with four units per floor. That makes a total of forty-two hundred households. And most importantly, the complex isn’t that old. The last phase was handed over only about two years ago."

"And what does that mean?" Qin Susu asked.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle came from nearby. A woman spoke up, "What does that mean? It means the people in here are genuinely rich. Property prices have been sky-high these last few years. The fact that they could still buy a home in this market means they’re obviously not short on cash. Not to mention, this is a high-end residential complex to begin with. But most importantly, since the residents just moved in, they haven’t formed habits around the products they use. They won’t feel strange about switching to something new."

Li Yang froze. ’Damn,’ he thought, ’this woman’s sharp. She just spelled out my entire thought process.’

It dawned on Qin Susu, but she immediately felt intellectually steamrolled and grew a little displeased. "Hmph. You think I needed you to spell that out? I knew that already."

The beautiful woman just let out a dry laugh, her disdain written all over her face.

An idea, however, sparked in Li Yang’s mind. He stepped forward and said, "You’re in sales, aren’t you?"

The beautiful woman glanced at Li Yang, sizing him up before speaking. "You don’t look like a salesman. Not bad, though. You can read people’s minds and analyze situations. How about it? Come work with me. I’ll show you the ropes in sales."

"What do you think you’re doing?!" Qin Susu flared up when she saw Li Yang actually approach the woman. "Li Yang! Don’t you dare forget your friends just because you see a pretty face!"

Li Yang felt a headache coming on. ’She’s so simple-minded, and she gets offended when you point it out.’

"You’ll show me the ropes?" Li Yang laughed. "I’ll pass... Why don’t you come work for me instead?"

"Work for you?" The beautiful woman froze, then burst into laughter. "Can you even afford me?"

Li Yang said seriously, "Sales runs on commission, right? So there’s nothing to ’afford.’ As long as you perform well, the money will be yours for the taking."

The beautiful woman shook her head. "That’s not quite how it works. I’m guessing you’re selling daily necessities, right? Really not my cup of tea. The volume is too small; it wouldn’t be worth my while."

"Miss, we’re just now breaking into the market..." Li Yang tried to persuade her earnestly. "If you really joined our company’s sales team, you’d get a commission on every market you develop. I sell water—it’s a fast-moving consumer good, a daily necessity. Selling one or two bottles might not look like much, but it’s something people need every single day..."

"Not interested!" The beautiful woman shook her head and stood up. "Don’t waste your breath. But hey, if you’re interested, my offer still stands. I think you’ve got what it takes."

With that, the beautiful woman pushed open the door and left.

"Sigh..." Li Yang was disappointed.

"Lecher!" Qin Susu snapped, glaring at Li Wei.

Only then did Li Yang explain, "She’s a real talent. The water plant is desperate for someone like her."

"What, am I not good enough?" Qin Susu grew even more jealous.

Li Yang froze for a second, only then realizing he’d probably paid too much attention to the other woman, which had wounded Qin Susu’s pride.

"You’re great too, but you have to manage production! You have a much bigger role to play, right?" Li Yang said, laying on the flattery.

Only then did Qin Susu’s face break into a satisfied smile. "That’s more like it... Still, that woman was so arrogant, and she wasn’t willing. What can you do? Forget it, let’s just find someone else."
