TVSFPAG -Chapter 35 How About Buying an Apartment?

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Chu Jinhan with anticipation, hoping he would remember him.

However, after a brief silence, Chu Jinhan calmly replied, “You’ve mistaken me. I’m just a salesperson from Xinglong Garment Factory, not the ‘President Chu’ you’re referring to.”

Li Zhe froze for a moment, somewhat incredulous, and had to take a closer look at Chu Jinhan.

At the same time, everyone else let out a sigh of relief—especially Wang Xinjian and Mr. He, who had nearly been scared to death.

Li Zhe, still unwilling to give up, asked, “May I ask your surname?”

“Chu Jinhan.”

Li Zhe’s eyelid twitched. He thought to himself: you still say you’re not? Even the name is the same.

How could two people look the same and have the same name?

Seeing Chu Jinhan’s calm and composed demeanor, Li Zhe became even more certain that he was the “President Chu” he had met before.

His mind began racing, speculating whether Chu Jinhan didn’t want to acknowledge him, or had other intentions here, making it inconvenient to reveal his identity.

Before he could figure it out, Song Yunfei squeezed her way out from the crowd.

“Darling, since when did you become President Chu?” Song Yunfei hooked her arm around his and then turned to Li Zhe.

With a slightly affected tone, she asked, “Mr. Li, is he really President Chu? Which President Chu are you talking about? What’s his full name?”

Li Zhe’s gaze lingered on Song Yunfei’s face for a couple of seconds.

At that moment, a young woman beside him leaned in and whispered something into his ear.

Li Zhe immediately understood. So that was it.

Young people really did understand these things better—it turned out this “President Chu” was playing the role of a hidden expert, pretending to be ordinary while courting a girl.

The woman beside him was Li Zhe’s niece, who usually loved reading novels. Seeing this scene, she immediately associated it with a plot from one of them.

Combining the current situation, Li Zhe felt that his niece’s interpretation made sense.

He quickly smiled and said, “Sorry, I must have mistaken him. The ‘President Chu’ I was referring to is the Chu of ‘Chu’ as in ‘Chu (褚),’ not this one.”

Song Yunfei let out an “oh.” “Then you’ve mistaken him—his Chu is the Chu of ‘Chu State’ (楚).”

Li Zhe chuckled. “That’s my mistake. Mr. Chu must be from Xinglong Garment Factory, right? And this one…”

He looked at Mr. He, whom he didn’t recognize and didn’t know by name.

Mr. He quickly introduced himself, “Mr. Li, my surname is He, He Long.”

Li Zhe nodded. “Mr. He has good judgment. This young man clearly has ability. I’ve heard of your Xinglong—it’s a long-established OEM factory with solid craftsmanship.”

Mr. He felt flattered and quickly replied with a smile, “Mr. Li, you’re too kind, too kind. We’re just doing small business in a down-to-earth manner—we can’t compare to large groups. We hope for your guidance in the future!”

Li Zhe smiled, his gaze once again briefly sweeping over Chu Jinhan.

Finally, his eyes landed on Song Yunfei’s arm, which was linked with Chu Jinhan’s, and he said meaningfully, “Young people, it’s good to stay grounded. Opportunities always favor those who are prepared. You all stay busy—I won’t disturb you.”

With that, Li Zhe left with a subtle, knowing smile, along with his niece, who was trying hard not to laugh.

Chu Jinhan remained completely puzzled.

Song Yunfei quietly breathed a sigh of relief. That was close—she almost got exposed.

The people around also dispersed in disappointment. They had expected some drama or big reveal, but that was all there was?

Mr. He, however, was overjoyed. Not only had he been personally praised by Mr. Li, but the translators beside the two German clients had already relayed the conversation to them.

After Li Zhe left, the two clients directly approached Mr. He to discuss cooperation.

As for Wang Xinjian, Mr. Li hadn’t even mentioned her or spared her a glance—what competitiveness did she still have?

After Li Zhe’s unexpected intervention, the booth in that corner suddenly became busier.

Even Song Yunfei found herself getting busy, as waves of customers kept arriving.

In addition to the orders from the two German clients, there were also various smaller and larger orders coming in nonstop.

Other merchants couldn’t help but sigh—this was just fate.

Because of that damn He Long, hiring an employee who happened to resemble someone Mr. Li knew directly caused their orders to explode.

At that moment, it truly illustrated what it means for someone at the bottom to run themselves ragged, while a big shot only needs to say a few words.

Hu Yao and Wang Qiang didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Chu Jinhan go out with Mr. He and then return with orders suddenly skyrocketing, they were both dumbfounded.

Was Chu Jinhan really this powerful in business?

Wang Qiang suddenly felt that his position as business manager might not be secure.

Mr. He hadn’t had high expectations coming to this exhibition, so he didn’t bring many people, thinking that as long as they could secure a few orders to get through the year, it would be enough.

Who would have expected something like this to happen, leaving the four of them so busy they didn’t even have time to drink water.

It wasn’t until eight in the evening that the four of them finally walked out of the exhibition hall, exhausted.

Mr. He was still excited at this point. He patted Chu Jinhan on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Chu, you’re truly a lucky star for our factory. I’ve decided to promote you and give you a raise when we get back!”

Wang Qiang immediately became anxious upon hearing this. “Mr. He, what position are you planning to give him?”

Mr. He thought for a moment. “Now that we have so many orders, it’ll likely get very busy later. Once the payments for those orders come in, I plan to open another workshop—and let Xiao Chu be in charge of it.”

Wang Qiang quietly let out a breath of relief.

Hu Yao also asked, “Mr. He, what about us? We worked hard today too.”

Mr. He glanced at her, smiled, and said, “You all performed well today. I’ll give you bonuses when we get back.”

Hu Yao rolled her eyes—so stingy.

They randomly found a place to eat, and after returning to the hotel, Mr. He called Chu Jinhan over alone.

Song Yunfei took the opportunity to quickly take a shower while he was gone.

Then she flopped onto the bed, hoping nothing like today would happen again over the next three days.

She lay on the bed scrolling through her phone and was almost asleep when Chu Jinhan finally returned.

Song Yunfei immediately sat up, excitedly asking, “What did Mr. He say to you? How much did your salary increase?”

Chu Jinhan unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his firm chest and collarbones, and casually said, “A base salary of ten thousand plus commission.”

“Only ten thousand?” Song Yunfei pouted, instantly losing interest.

Chu Jinhan said, “He also wants me to buy shares.”

Song Yunfei’s interest was piqued again. “Really? He’s letting you buy in already?”

Mr. He really was something—whether to call him decisive or impulsive was hard to say.

“Yeah, fifteen percent profit share.”

“That’s not bad.”

“He also adjusted my commission rate. If all the orders I signed today go through, I should earn about three hundred thousand in commission.”

Song Yunfei’s eyes widened as she shot up straight. “That much!”

“Yeah, roughly.”

Only then did Song Yunfei understand why Mr. He had acted so impulsively.

Based on the factory’s previous performance, making around a million a year was already considered impressive.

Yet now, just Chu Jinhan’s commission alone was close to three hundred thousand—almost approaching a quarter of their factory’s quarterly profit.

“Great! You finally don’t have to deliver food anymore!”

Song Yunfei was happy for only two seconds.

Then she suddenly realized—that money wasn’t hers. Why was she so happy?

She couldn’t possibly run off with Chu Jinhan’s money, could she?

That would be practically asking for trouble.

And what Chu Jinhan said next made her mood take another turn.

He said, “Once we get the money, how about buying an apartment?”
