71: Earn some pocket money

It didn't seem like she was just helping out for free?

After thinking about it, she decided to be direct.

[Uncle Zhou, you've misunderstood.]

[This has nothing to do with my mom or the Lantu Group.]

She first decisively cleared things up to avoid any unnecessary business misunderstandings.

Then, she paused for a moment and added with a hint of embarrassment.

[It's not exactly a sales pitch; it's just a product from a friend's company. I tried it myself and felt that the results were indeed very good.]

[So I thought I'd help him promote it a bit.]

[If... if I can sell some, I can also get a small commission.]

About half a minute passed.

Zhou Yuankang's avatar finally flickered.

First, he sent an emoji.

It was the "smile" emoji that middle-aged and elderly people love to use, making Lan Qingyu's mouth twitch.

They really don't know that this emoji has other meanings!

[Oh, so that's how it is.]

[Our Qingyu has grown up; she wants to be self-reliant and start earning her own pocket money!]

[Not bad, not bad. You've got spirit!]

[Since our Qingyu is working so hard to help a friend, Uncle Zhou can't just talk the talk; I have to show some support.]

Lan Qingyu was stunned.

Support? How?

Could it be... he wants to buy one?

However, Zhou Yuankang's next words left her completely dazed.

[How about this? Isn't our company having its tenth-anniversary celebration next month? I was just worrying about what gifts to prepare for the employees.]

[I think this massager you sent is quite good.]

[It's both practical and novel.]

[Order fifty units of the 2,888 yuan one for me.]

[Twenty units of the 5,888 yuan one.]

[As for the 8,888 yuan top-tier version, let's start with ten units.]

[When the time comes, we can give one to each of the outstanding employees selected; it'll be a nice reward.]

Zhou Yuankang's message came through nonchalantly.

Lan Qingyu stared at the lines of text on her phone screen, her eyes widening and her mouth hanging open, unable to close it for a long time.

She blinked hard and counted the numbers on the screen over and over again, making sure she hadn't misread a single zero.

This... it sold just like that?

Could it be that she really had a talent for sales?

After ending the conversation with Zhou Yuankang, Lan Qingyu rolled around on the sofa several times, clutching her phone like a child who had just been given candy.

A three percent commission!

Three percent of 351,040... that's 10,531.2 yuan!

Over ten thousand yuan! Although it wasn't much—not even matching her monthly allowance—this was the first bit of money she had earned through her own ability!

A huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction made her feel light as air, as if she were walking on clouds.

She took a deep, excited breath and immediately opened her chat with Lin Chao.

She quickly organized the order quantities and models Zhou Yuankang wanted into a clear message and sent it over.

Immediately after, she also attached the shipping address and contact information for the Kangyuan Group.

Having done all that, she curled her lips into a proud smile and, like a victorious general, slowly typed out the final line.

[I've brought you an order, Supervisor Lin.]

[Don't forget my commission. [Sunglasses][Sunglasses]]

...On the other side, Lin Chao had also just arrived home. Before he even had time to drink some water, Lan Qingyu's WeChat message popped up on his phone screen.

Lin Chao glanced at the familiar avatar, wondering to himself.

"What's wrong with this young lady now?"

He nonchalantly reached out and tapped on the chat box.

Then, the next second.

He froze instantly, as if struck by lightning.

Wait, how did this little sister sell so many in such a short time?

Although the order couldn't compare to Xie Mengya's big order from before, it still added up to over 300,000 yuan!

Most importantly, this was his first big order since being promoted to supervisor!

Lin Chao immediately pulled himself together, forgot about drinking water, and opened his computer to start processing the order.

Meanwhile, Lan Qingyu had dived back into the battlefield of the "Silly Netizens Joyful Gathering" group chat.

Now a Gold Medal Salesperson with a large order in hand, she was full of confidence and stood much taller.

Seeing the constant stream of teasing in the group, she decided to properly "educate" these mortals.

[Lan Qingyu: I'll say it again, I'm really not a WeChat merchant!]

[Lan Qingyu: I just felt that my neck and shoulders were really comfortable after using this massager, so I'm sincerely recommending it!]

After she sent this message, the group was quiet for a moment.

That gossip monger Zhao Lei was the first to pop up again.

[@Lan Qingyu, for real? Young lady, do you even believe your own words?]

Another classmate chimed in.

[Exactly, Qingyu. With your family's status, you wouldn't lie to us about something like this, would you? We're just curious.]

[Yeah, yeah. If you really think it's good, why don't you tell us more about it?]

The topic finally shifted from "male-female relationship" gossip to the product itself.

Just then, a girl who didn't usually speak much suddenly chimed in.

[Qingyu, you've been to those high-end wellness clubs, right? The ones with professional masseurs.]

[Compared to a real massage at a club, how does your massager feel? Which one is more comfortable?]

This question instantly piqued everyone's interest.

Lan Qingyu's face turned red again as she looked at the message.

She sent an emoji of someone angrily banging on a table.

[I'm only eighteen! I've only been an adult for a few months! Why would I go to a wellness club!]

[Do I even need wellness treatments!]

Her righteous indignation, as if she had been deeply insulted, instantly made everyone in the group laugh.

[Hahahahaha!]

[Our young lady is so pure and unpretentious!]

[Then tell us, exactly how is it comfortable?]

Seeing the screen full of "hahahahaha," Lan Qingyu was both angry and amused.

She cleared her throat and decided not to hold it against these bad friends, immediately telling them about her experience after using it.

In the "Silly Netizens Joyful Gathering" group, the screen full of "hahahahaha" almost overflowed.

Lan Qingyu looked at her friends' teasing, her cheeks puffing out in anger like a little pufferfish.

[Lan Qingyu: I'm not joking! I'm serious!]

[Lan Qingyu: I've just been looking down at my phone for the past few days, and my neck was so sore it felt like it was going to break!]

[Lan Qingyu: But after using that massager's "Soothing Mode" for fifteen minutes, really, that soreness just vanished! My neck feels so relaxed now!]

[Lan Qingyu: This is definitely not an exaggeration!]

She sent several messages in a row, trying to use exclamation marks to emphasize the sincerity in her words.

However, this bunch of people who loved to watch the drama unfold were clearly not so easily convinced.

Zhao Lei's avatar popped up once again.
