Chapter 15: Chapter 014 They are Men
"Hehe, hero, who would have thought we'd meet here; now that's fate."
As soon as Lu Qing returned to the office, she said to Qin Tian with a laughter.
When she smiled, two shallow dimples formed at the corners of her mouth, extremely charming.
As Qin Tian walked into the office, he saw that Lu Qing's office was neat and bright, and the whole setup was very luminous, making him feel more comfortable compared to Murong Fei's somewhat cold-toned office, improving his mood considerably.
He laughed, "I think it's fate too. Look, we just met last night, and today we meet again. If I had known, I should have stayed overnight at your place last night to avoid the hassle."
Lu Qing invited Qin Tian to sit down and laughed, "I did invite you last night, but you chose not to come to my place, teehee, you missed out."
While talking, Lu Qing brewed a cup of coffee for Qin Tian, "I don't have tea here, I like drinking coffee, Nestle coffee, please make do with it, haha."
"Hehe, I also like drinking coffee," Qin Tian said, taking the dark glass cup with a laugh.
This beautiful lady was really different from the high and mighty women like Murong Fei. In terms of beauty, Lu Qing was not inferior to Murong Fei; they were different types of stunning beauties.
In terms of personality, Qin Tian definitely preferred someone cheerful and caring like Lu Qing.
Luckily, he chose to come to Hongtu Real Estate, not realizing it was a place teeming with beauties. Not only were the sales department manager Qin Yue and the HR manager Li Jing stunning, but the Lu Qing in front of him was also a top-tier beauty. This trip wasn't in vain at all, Qin Tian felt quite delighted.
Thinking about working surrounded by beauties in the future, Qin Tian was filled with all sorts of romantic fantasies.
Sitting on her office chair, Lu Qing moved it in front of Qin Tian and looked at him with a playful smile, "Handsome, you were a hero saving the beauty last night without leaving your name. Today, at least I've got to know it—Qin Tian, hehe, a nice name; I like sunny days the most."
Qin Tian: "I'm speechless."
"So, how did you end up coming to Hongtu Real Estate? Manager Qin Yue said you were sent by Murong Group's headquarters, and as far as I know, people from Murong Group are quite arrogant and never hire newbies. How did you manage to get in?" Lu Qing asked.
"Well, it's a long story. Let's just say I pulled some strings," Qin Tian summarized briefly.
Lu Qing understood, "I see, no wonder. I was thinking that it's unlike Murong Group under the 'Demon's' management to change its rules."
"'Demon'?"
"Teehee, Murong Group's president, Murong Fei, is called that by many employees in our subsidiary. I've met her once, a real beauty, but I've heard she manages the company with an iron fist and is very strict with subordinates, so everyone privately calls her the 'Demon'."
Qin Tian was momentarily lost for words; Murong Fei's reputation really was well-known. To have earned the nickname "Demon" was… fitting.
Then, her husband must be what? After thinking for a bit, Qin Tian grimaced slightly—Male Demon?
The two chatted very familiarly in the office, with Lu Qing not treating Qin Tian as an outsider, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Lu Qing said, "Qin Tian, do you know why I never take on disciples, but today I want you as one?"
"To repay a favor."
"You're only right about one aspect. The other is, I know you're gay, haha, so I feel relieved with you."
At this, Lu Qing burst out laughing.
Damn, she still remembers that, and really thinks I'm gay! Qin Tian was speechless.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he got, and Qin Tian felt like crying: "Lu Qing, could we drop that joke, please? I'm a real man, a true macho!"
"Teehee, I don't believe you. So, Qin Tian, are you a top or a bottom? Haha, with your strong body, you must be a top, right?"
"..."
Qin Tian sighed deeply, thinking, if only I hadn't gone to the bar last night, now no matter what I say, Lu Qing won't believe me.
"I'm the top, yeah, I'm the top, the male one."
Qin Tian lay on the couch and didn't bother to explain anymore.
"Oh, then tell me, what does it feel like for you two men to be together?"
"Pfft! You're really into some weird stuff! Just kill me now..."
...
After spending half a day in Lu Qing's office and chatting for more than an hour, Lu Qing began to organize documents and returned to her work, all the while explaining the company's rules and regulations, as well as the requirements for being a property consultant at Hongtu Real Estate.
Must say, when it's time to joke, she jokes, but when it's work time, Lu Qing is seriously committed.
Especially when talking about dealing with different clients, a property consultant should tailor their speech, recommendation of residences, and appeal based on the client's expressions, tone of voice, and attire, which Qin Tian found very agreeable.
Later, when Qin Tian saw on Lu Qing's desk a row of books, including "Success Studies," "Psychology," "Complete Guide to Dress Etiquette," "Speech Skills," "Top Salesperson," and more than a dozen other work-related books, he started to see her in a new light.
It seems that successful people do not just rely on luck; they truly prepare well to embrace success.
"I thought you could become a top sales manager just by your looks."
When Lu Qing returned to the office after running an errand, Qin Tian, holding a copy of "Top Salesperson," greeted her with a beaming smile.
Setting down her documents, Lu Qing said, "If I wanted to, I definitely could."
As she spoke, Lu Qing poured herself a cup of coffee, revealing her true coffee obsession.
"How so?" Qin Tian asked.
Lu Qing replied, "In sales, as you know, there are many unspoken rules behind the scenes. If a salesperson is attractive, it's definitely a big advantage."
"Are you saying that you haven't been subjected to these unspoken rules by clients?"
Lu Qing pursed her lips and looked at Qin Tian, "If someone else asked me that, I would probably spit in their face, but since you're asking, let me tell you the truth — no, and never!"
After taking a sip of her coffee, Lu Qing continued, "Out of the four top sales managers at Hongtu Real Estate, my performance ranks last, although still much higher than other salespeople. But compared to the top three sales managers, who are all male, I fall quite short. If I were willing to be subjected to those unspoken rules, do you think they could compete with my sales performance?"
Qin Tian nodded, "That makes sense. So, you're suggesting that the top three have been subjected to these rules? Damn, they're all guys, though!"
Lu Qing replied, "What's so strange about that? In today's world, it's quite normal for men to be involved in these rules."
"Damn, there are people who get both money and beauty? I want to be a top male sales manager too!"
"Oh, I forgot to mention, there are quite a few male bosses who like handsome male salespeople."
"...Alright, let's pretend I didn't say anything. I'll just stay your apprentice."
Qin Tian scratched his head, puzzled, what kind of world is this, where so many men are bending that way?
"Ding ding ding..."
Just as Qin Tian was sighing, Lu Qing's phone began to ring.
