90: Chapter 89 The Goals and Principles of Young People's Struggles
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Is there a flower on my face?"
Lin Feng had been stared at for a while, and he felt a bit creeped out.
After all, he didn't have any special fetishes, and the young man's intense gaze not only made him panic but also made his rear end feel vaguely uncomfortable.
"Oh... no... it's not... May I ask your surname, sir?"
"My surname is Lin. I'm Lin Feng."
Upon hearing Lin Feng introduce himself, the young man got so excited that he reached out excitedly, grabbing forward.
He actually tried to grab his hand, which scared Lin Feng into taking a step back.
Tian Xue also frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Mr. Chen, what were you trying to do just now? Don't you know that's very impolite?"
"Buddy, what are you doing? I'm not interested in men."
Xiao Chen's expression stiffened as he suddenly realized how presumptuous his behavior had been.
In his panic, he gestured wildly and stammered, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't explain himself clearly at all.
[A young man losing his composure after meeting his idol; his mind is blank; Nervousness: 100, Unease: 100, Regret: 100, Shame: 100]
...
Another fan? Am I really that famous now?
Delivery riders were arriving at the entrance one after another. Through the transparent glass, one could see the staff at the sales center taking their breakfasts.
"You must be Lin Feng, the boss of Fengda Delivery, right?"
"Yes, that's me."
Lin Feng openly admitted his identity; it wasn't a secret anyway.
"Our sales center uses delivery for all our meals now. Breakfast, lunch, and even dinner—many people buy them to take home. It's so convenient."
"Mr. Lin, please forgive my lapse in composure. I'm about the same age as you; not only are you still studying, but you also founded Fengda Delivery."
"You've not only solved the problem of restaurant owners being short-staffed but also addressed the issues of student work-study programs and social employment."
"Even those of us who work for a living get more time to sleep now. You are my idol."
...
So that's what it was; he was so excited because he saw his idol.
"Xiao Chen, I'm just an ordinary person, too. I just had a bit of luck and succeeded in starting a business."
"How could you be ordinary? The internet says you come from an ordinary family and only succeeded because of your keen sense for the market."
"And without any background, you've grown your business so much. It's truly outstanding."
"I heard you're roommates with the young master of our Wang Sheng Group and that you have a very good relationship."
"I'm so excited to have met the real deal today."
Xiao Chen was a technical school graduate; his educational level wasn't high, so he could only work in sales.
Everyone has dreams, and Lin Feng was the goal he was chasing in his heart.
"You're exaggerating. I'm not that amazing."
"You don't know this, but many young people in our sales center who are in similar situations to me view you as their goal to strive for."
Tian Xue asked suspiciously, "Why don't you guys go deliver food? It pays pretty well right now."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "It's better to leave those resources for college students working part-time and people in society who really can't find jobs."
"Real estate sales have had good prospects in recent years, and houses are selling well. I feel like this will be a trend in the future. If I work hard, maybe there's a possibility of entering the group's management."
[Future top sales representative; seizes the 5-year window; becomes the consecutive sales champion and general manager of the sales department at Wansheng Group; successfully withdraws before the real estate bubble bursts.]
...
I didn't expect him to actually be a talent.
He has his own dreams, doesn't follow the crowd, and can remain rational even while idolizing me.
"Xiao Chen, I don't think your future will be limited."
"Really? With Mr. Lin's words, I'll have to work even harder. Shall I introduce you to the houses here?"
"Sure..."
For the next half hour, Lin Feng followed Xiao Chen to look at the residential complex's sand table model and listened to him introduce the situation here in detail.
Currently, the houses in the best locations in the complex are only about 50,000 per square meter.
It was indeed cheap. Lin Feng remembered that around 2015, the houses here rose to 120,000 per square meter, which was a frightening increase.
"Xiao Chen, I'll take that south-facing, 300-square-meter, fully furnished unit on the 22nd floor of Building 12."
"Mr. Lin, you have a great eye. That unit has excellent lighting and location, and you can even see a large artificial lake 500 meters away from the balcony. The view is quite nice."
"Mm, help me process the paperwork. Full payment."
Xiao Chen was shocked. He bought it just like that?
For a house worth about 15 million, his commission would be quite significant.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "This is fate."
"Then I'll go process the paperwork for you."
The other party took Lin Feng's ID card and walked out the door excitedly.
"You look quite the part now, just like a big shot, running the show."
Tian Xue teased him, but her eyes were full of admiration for Lin Feng.
"I can't help it; I can't stop what others think. But Xiao Chen definitely won't do poorly in the future. I'm a good judge of character."
Tian Xue rolled her eyes at him. Just as she was about to tease Lin Feng a few more times, an argument broke out outside the door.
"Manager Cai, you can't do this. My client has already signed a contract with me, and I'm processing his paperwork."
"Xiao Chen, can't you tell who's in charge here?"
"Is your client as important as mine?"
"Do you know who my client is? He's a big boss who collaborates with the group. Can you afford to offend him?"
"Manager Cai, isn't there a 'first come, first served' rule?"
"If the group sells houses based on status, how will it develop in the future?"
"Xiao Chen, are you lecturing me? Don't you know you have to obey the leadership's arrangements?"
"Don't waste my time. Tell your client to pick another unit. I can give them some discounts. I've reserved that large flat with the best view."
"No."
"Do you believe I'll fire you?"
"If you fire me, I'll go report you to the chairman."
"Report me to the chairman? Are you crazy? Xiao Chen, I can't even see the chairman, and you think you can?"
At this moment, voices of persuasion rang out nearby.
"Xiao Chen, don't be stubborn with Manager Cai. We're all just employees. Just tell your client that the house was reserved by someone else and switch to another one."
"That's right, we need to know our place. I know you're excited about making a sale, but think about it—you have a long road ahead, and don't you still need to make a living here?"
"Hurry up and apologize to Manager Cai; he won't make things difficult for you."
'That customer is indeed very important. When you're out in the world, don't you have to understand social nuances?'
"No. Isn't my client a client too? Do you understand what reputation is?"
"The house clearly wasn't reserved, yet you insist on lying. This damages the company's reputation."
"Fine, fine, fine. Stop trying to persuade him. I see he doesn't want to work here anymore."
Tian Xue frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't he mention your identity? I think by now, no one in Wansheng Group is unaware of your relationship with Wang Jun."
"Teacher Tian, you don't understand. Xiao Chen has principles. If the transaction were completed because of my connections, it would be a huge blow to him."
After saying this, Lin Feng took out his phone and dialed Wang Jun's number.
