Chapter 14: Chapter 013 I Want This Qin Tian!
In the office of the sales manager at Hongtu Real Estate, sitting face to face with Qin Tian were three rather handsome men, each looking confident and imposing.
As a real estate sales manager, regardless of gender, one must at least be presentable to customers; otherwise, who would buy the houses they are selling?
However, compared to the handsome trio, Qin Tian's gaze was fixed on the sales department manager, Qin Yue.
This beauty, also surnamed Qin, had a fabulous figure. She was not very tall, about 1.63 meters, but her features were delicate, especially her chest, which, Qin guessed, was even fuller than Murong Fei's, particularly noticeable under her professional attire, making Qin Tian swallow his saliva.
"The one on the left is Wang Chao, the one on the right is Ma Han, and the one in the middle is Zhan Zhao. These three are the pillars of our sales department, hehe. Gentlemen, this here is Qin Tian, a newcomer to the sales department; you guys can mingle. Oh, and Qin Tian is new to sales, and I plan to assign one of you to mentor him and take him through the ropes."
Qin Yue meticulously introduced them while Li Jing, on the side, nodded in agreement.
God, Wang Chao, Ma Han, and Zhan Zhao, is this a Government Office? Then who is Bao Qingtian?
Qin Tian was speechless, feeling uneasy as the three men opposite him looked over.
"A sales newbie, huh, Qin Tian. Then let me ask you, do you know nothing about sales?" After a few seconds of silence, Zhan Zhao, seated in the middle, asked.
Qin Tian nodded, without speaking.
At this, the faces of the three ace sales managers turned sour all at once.
The three looked at each other, none committing to a stance.
Just as expected, Li Jing felt disappointed but still said, "Qin Tian was recruited by headquarters. Since headquarters trusts us and has placed him with Hongtu Real Estate, moving forward, we'll all be colleagues. Gentlemen, please see who among you has the time to mentor him?"
"Manager Qin, Manager Li, I am already mentoring an apprentice and sadly do not have the energy to take on a second," Zhan Zhao stated first, then he feigned an apologetic tone to Qin Tian, "Brother Qin Tian, I'm sorry. I'm someone who takes responsibility seriously; if I were to mentor you, I would indeed spend a lot of time doing it right, but currently, I really don't have the time. Sorry about that."
Qin Tian nodded, "No problem."
"It's the same for me; my wife is pregnant, and I need to look after her recently, so I don't have the time either," Wang Chao immediately chimed in.
Before Li Jing could speak, Ma Han also said, "It seems we are all in a similar situation. My wife is expecting our second child too, so I won't have the time." He said, spreading his hands.
The office suddenly fell quiet, the atmosphere turning a bit awkward.
Indeed, none of the three ace sales managers was willing to mentor Qin Tian.
Li Jing and Qin Yue looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Qin Yue hesitated for a moment, then smiled at Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, it's unfortunate that our sales managers are all too busy. However, besides the four ace sales managers, we do have many other capable people in sales. I can introduce someone else to mentor you."
Honestly, Li Jing and Qin Yue, the two beauties, were quite nice, not discriminating against Qin Tian as a newcomer.
Qin Tian just couldn't stand Wang Chao, Ma Han, and the three of them. God, if they didn't want to mentor, just say so, without making up bulls**t excuses!
"So you think you can bully me because I'm a newcomer, huh? Just you wait, anyone can work in sales!" Qin Tian glared at the three men opposite him, disdain filling his heart.
Li Jing then said, "Qin Yue, didn't you say Lu Qing was on her way back? Why don't we wait a bit and ask her?"
Qin Yue frowned and spoke quietly, "You know Lu Qing's temperament as well as I do. She already said she doesn't mentor apprentices. Moreover, she usually works independently and rarely interacts with male colleagues in the company. If you assign a male newcomer to her, do you think she'll agree? We have tried assigning female mentees to her before, and she refused all of them."
Qin Yue's voice was soft, but in the office, everyone heard her.
Wang Chao, Ma Han, and Zhan Zhao exchanged a look, then chuckled.
Who didn't know about Lu Qing's temperament? Aside from clients, she barely interacted with anyone in the company. This great beauty had always had many admirers—if she were just a bit more friendly with her colleagues, these three would probably have already pursued Lu Qing.
The new guy dreaming of becoming Lu Qing's apprentice was sheer wishful thinking. The three shared a silent scoff.
Qin Yue made a call to Lu Qing, who said she had already arrived at the company's entrance, so everyone in the office waited for Lu Qing to arrive.
Initially, Qin Yue told Wang Chao and Ma Han that they could go back to their own offices, but all three claimed they were free and wanted to talk more with Qin Tian, so they shamelessly didn't leave.
And both Li Jing and Qin Yue knew that these three were likely staying to watch Qin Tian's embarrassment; they probably just wanted to see how Lu Qing would reject Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was aware of their thoughts but remained silent; these matters were trifles to him. To him, these three guys were also not worth mentioning.
It wasn't long before the office door opened, and a beautiful long-haired woman in a black OL outfit hurried in on high heels.
"Sister Qin, you called me back in such a rush without saying what it's about—what's the matter?"
As Lu Qing entered, she first looked at Qin Yue, then noticed the presence of Human Resources' Li Jing and the trio of Wang Chao, taking her by surprise.
Her gaze finally landed on Qin Tian, who was sitting to one side.
Just then, Qin Tian was also drooling as he looked at her, their eyes meeting in surprise.
Qin Tian had heard the name earlier and thought it was a coincidence, but no, the long-haired stunning beauty in front of him was indeed Lu Qing, whom he had heroically rescued the night before.
Lu Qing was even more surprised. She hadn't expected to encounter Qin Tian here, but, being experienced in various social situations, she quickly regained her composure.
Qin Yue asked Lu Qing to sit down and introduced, "Lu Qing, come, let me introduce a newcomer, Qin Tian." Then, she reiterated the details about Qin Tian's background and also mentioned the intention to choose a mentor for him.
However, Qin Yue didn't directly suggest Lu Qing be the mentor, as she felt it was unlikely.
Wang Chao and his two colleagues sneered, waiting to see Qin Tian make a fool of himself, and also waiting for Lu Qing to find an excuse not to take on an apprentice.
"Him, needing a mentor? Hehe, manager, I can take him under my wing. I've been a little too busy recently and urgently need a helper. Let it be him?" Lu Qing said with a smile, looking at Qin Tian.
As soon as she spoke, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Qin Yue, and the others were all shocked by her words, especially Qin Yue, whose mouth hung open in disbelief.
Lu Qing actually willing to mentor this newcomer?!
Wang Chao, Ma Han, and Zhan Zhao were dumbfounded.
No way, isn't she known for not mingling with male colleagues, and he's just a newbie who knows nothing?
The three men recalled the times they had been cold-shouldered by Lu Qing and wore expressions of disbelief.
Only Qin Tian appeared calm, still drooling as he looked at Lu Qing.
This beauty owes me two big favors, she probably can't wait to take me on as an apprentice to repay me, Qin Tian thought to himself, prepared for what Lu Qing had said.
Li Jing was the first to snap back to reality. "Lu Qing, are you saying you want to take Qin Tian as your apprentice?"
Lu Qing replied, "Yes, what about it? Wang Chao and the others have taken on several apprentices before, right? It's my first time taking an apprentice, that's okay, right?"
Lu Qing looked at Qin Yue with a grin and said, "Manager, I'm making my stand here."
After finishing, she also looked towards Wang Chao and his colleagues and continued, "This Qin Tian, I'm taking him, no one else is allowed to compete with me."
Qin Yue and Wang Chao were stunned. Wow, this isn't Qin Tian looking for a mentor, it's clearly Lu Qing fighting to be Qin Tian's mentor.
What's going on, does Qin Tian have some extraordinary qualities? No way, he's just a newbie.
Could it be because Qin Tian is handsome? That's not possible either, I'm handsomer than him.
The three top sales managers were both surprised and curious about Lu Qing's unusual behavior.
Qin Yue laughed, "Alright, alright, Qin Tian is yours, it's settled." She thought, just now I was worried about getting a mentor for Qin Tian, and here's Lu Qing fighting to take him. What's gotten into her today?
Without further thought, Qin Yue turned to Qin Tian and said, "Qin Tian, did you hear that? Our beautiful sales manager, Lu Qing, is very eager to be your mentor, hehe, you're lucky. From now on, follow her closely, work hard on your sales and you'll have a promising future."
"Thank you, manager. Hehe, thank you… Mentor."
Qin Tian was also grinning, though in his mind he was complaining. Damn, my previous mentor was a terrible old man, and now I've got another mentor, and she's a stunning beauty. Following her beats working at Murong Group by far.
"There's no need to call me 'Master.' We're about the same age, I think I'm only a year or two older than you. Just call me Qing Jie, don't make me feel old," Lu Qing said with a laugh.
"Okay," Qin Tian nodded.
The two of them started chatting casually.
The others nearby were once again dazed. Could the sun have risen from the west today? Lu Qing usually didn't chat much with male colleagues, but here she was, chatting and even laughing! What kind of luck had Qin Tian run into?
As they left the office, Lu Qing led Qin Tian through the large office outside the sales department, heading towards her private office.
The colleagues in the sales department all looked on with curiosity and surprise. Lu Qing was actually taking a strange man into her office, what was going on!
People asked around only to find out that Lu Qing had unexpectedly taken an apprentice, and suddenly, not just the sales department, but the entire company was abuzz.
After all, Lu Qing was recognized as the number one beauty at Hongtu Real Estate and the dream girl of many male colleagues.
Hearing she had taken a male apprentice was explosive news!
Nearly all male colleagues were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Qin Tian, this lucky guy who had stumbled onto good fortune!
