Chapter 38

At the age of 35, Zhou Xiaochuan can be considered a successful person, with a house, a car, a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, and a thriving career and a happy family.

However, who would have thought that more than six years ago, he once faced unemployment, and his girlfriend of six years left him at that time.

It wasn't until that night that his fate took a turn. It was a summer night six years ago, around 9 PM. That day, his manager informed him that if he didn't have any performance within three days, he could pack up and leave. After working overtime and returning home, he found his girlfriend had already packed her things and was waiting for him, telling him she couldn't stay with him any longer.

Feeling lost and dejected, he left home and went to a nearby barbecue stall, ordering some skewers and beer. Thinking about his years of failure, he couldn't help but shed tears.

He took out his business card from his clothes, looked at it, and placed it on the table, then looked up at the dark night sky.

"It's time to end it! I should go back to my hometown!" he muttered.

After finishing the last sip of beer, he got up and left. He had decided to leave the city because he was a failure.

There are many people like him in this big city, coming with passion and dreams, and returning with a body full of scars.

"Dream Home Salesman, Zhou Xiaochuan!" A high school student with a clear face sitting opposite him picked up the business card on the table and read it softly.

Fate always comes to you unexpectedly. One second you might be in a desperate situation, and the next second you might be in heaven.

The next morning, Zhou Xiaochuan tidied up everything in his rental apartment and was about to leave to go to the company to handle his resignation. After all, Dream Home is the largest real estate agency in the country, not only dealing in second-hand houses but also listing many new properties from developers. If he left without a word, it would be very detrimental to his future, especially if he wanted to continue in this industry.

Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. It was an unknown number, and he answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hello! Is this Mr. Zhou Xiaochuan?"

"Yes! I am Zhou Xiaochuan, who is this?"

"My name is Lin Fei. I am planning to buy a house. Do you have time to give me some advice?"

"Ah! Buying a house? Mr. Lin, I have time. What are your requirements for the house?" Zhou Xiaochuan was caught off guard by this sudden buyer.

"The price should be between 2 million and 3 million, and the location shouldn't be too remote."

"Okay, we have a few properties that meet your requirements. When are you available? I can show you the houses."

"It's Sunday today, and I happen to be free. Send me the address, and let's go see the houses now!"

"Sure, I'll send it to you right away." After hanging up, Zhou Xiaochuan held his phone, his heart pounding. He pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and the intense pain confirmed that he wasn't dreaming. He quickly ran downstairs and hurried to the company to get the keys to the properties.

More than an hour later, Zhou Xiaochuan was anxiously waiting at the agreed location.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Xiaochuan asked, looking at the child in front of him.

"I am the one who called you earlier to buy a house." Lin Fei said, looking at Zhou Xiaochuan.

"Is this for your parents?"

"No, it's for me. Let's go! Show me the houses."

"Oh!" Zhou Xiaochuan was extremely disappointed. He didn't expect it to be a child, thinking he was just looking for some fun.

He led Lin Fei to see the houses, feeling dejected, and then they walked out of the neighborhood.

"I like both of these houses. Let's go back and sign the contract!" Lin Fei said to Zhou Xiaochuan.

"Ah! Sign the contract? Are you really buying?" Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Lin Fei in disbelief.

"Why can't I buy? I'm already 16 years old. The government hasn't forbidden me from buying a house, right?" Lin Fei smiled.

"Let's go back to the company and sign the contract! The owners have fully entrusted us. Once you sign the contract, we will handle all the procedures within a week, and the houses will officially belong to you." Zhou Xiaochuan's hope was rekindled.

For the rest of the time, Zhou Xiaochuan felt like he was in a dream. He took Lin Fei to the company and closed the deal under the envious gazes of his colleagues. Lin Fei paid in full, which was much more generous than other clients.

When Zhou Xiaochuan saw Lin Fei off at the company and waited for his taxi, he asked a question that had been on his mind: "Why did you choose me?"

"Looks like you've forgotten! I was eating barbecue at the same table as you yesterday! After you left, I saw your business card on the table. I just happened to want to buy a house, so I called you." Lin Fei smiled.

"So you were the student from yesterday." Zhou Xiaochuan's face turned red, remembering that he had cried in front of Lin Fei.

"Yes, you remember! Well, the bus is here. I'll go first. I'll be bothering you a lot in the future. See you." Lin Fei turned and got into a taxi.

From that day on, Zhou Xiaochuan's life changed. He decided to stay in Rongcheng instead of going back to his hometown. The two houses Lin Fei bought not only brought him a substantial commission but also opened the door to success.

In the following years, he closed at least one deal every month, and Lin Fei would find him every year to buy houses or shops, entrusting him to manage them. Zhou Xiaochuan became a legend at Dream Home in Rongcheng.

Whenever he thought about those days, Zhou Xiaochuan felt grateful to Lin Fei.

The next morning, Lin Fei was in his study, eating the soy milk and fried dough sticks he had bought, while looking at the house information Zhou Xiaochuan had sent him, marking the ones he liked.

At the headquarters of Dream Home in Rongcheng, in the business department manager's office, Zhou Xiaochuan was handling some documents at his desk, not worried at all about whether Lin Fei would back out, because over the years, whenever Lin Fei asked him to prepare documents, he would definitely buy a house.

"Ring, ring, ring." Zhou Xiaochuan's phone rang.

"Manager Zhou, it's me. I've already chosen the houses. I've sent you the information. Prepare the contracts for me! I'll come over in the afternoon."

"Mr. Lin, you chose so quickly? I've filtered out many options for you. You don't have to rush to make a decision. You can take your time."

"No need. I've already looked at them. I'll bring cash to your office this afternoon. Please arrange the necessary personnel in advance to complete the transaction as soon as possible."

"Sure, I'll arrange it right away." After ending the call with Lin Fei, Zhou Xiaochuan sipped his tea and opened the information Lin Fei had sent him.

"Huh?" Zhou Xiaochuan's mouth slowly opened wide, and he didn't even notice the tea spilling onto his clothes.

"35 units? A total of 140 million yuan?"
