“Do you know who I am?” Jason was embarrassed to be chided by a low-rank salesperson in front of the woman he liked and immediately revealed his identity.

Who you are? I’m afraid that you won’t even know who you are after I expose your secrets!

“If you don’t get out, do you believe I’ll beat you up?” Samuel stepped forward and threatened.

The tall Samuel stood in front of Jason. The latter was instantly terrified and regretted not bringing more people along.

“Just you wait!” Jason snarled before leaving.

After he left, Samuel turned to Arielle.

Arielle looked at the contract in Samuel’s hands with a million doubts in her heart.

Is this guy really holding another purchase order? How could a person clinch a deal every single day?

After some hesitation, she asked, “You… clinched another deal?”

“Yes, this is the detailed list of goods. Ms. Bright, please take a look. If there are no problems, try to send the goods today. The earlier we send the goods, the earlier they promote it.” Samuel handed over the list.

She took the list and read it carefully.

The more she scanned, the more shocked she became.

Arielle thought he was deliberately scaring Jason, but the number of orders and total sales figures indicated was true as per what he said!

He had only been in the company for less than three days, but he had already signed three massive orders! It was especially so for today’s order, which was almost the total sales of the liquor factory last year!

She looked meaningfully at him and found him more and more pleasing to the eye. He was handsome and capable, which boss wouldn’t like such an employee? She said excitedly, “Amazing! You’re awesome! Keep it up. If you continue to perform, I’ll promote you to sales manager within three months!”

“Thank you, Ms. Bright.” Samuel wasn’t interested in these meaningless positions. He just wanted to earn enough to pay off his father’s surgery fees.

After confirming the distribution process with Arielle, he was about to leave when he heard her reminder. “Samuel, when you’re free, go buy two sets of branded formal wear. A sales manager must have the appearance and taste of a leader.”

“Alright, I’ll buy it soon.” He hurriedly brushed it off.

He understood Arielle’s meaning. If one dressed luxuriously, they would gain confidence and apply pressure on others. It would also be easier for one to take the initiative in negotiations.

However, such branded clothing could easily cost hundreds. Before his father’s surgery fees were paid off, he really didn’t dare to splurge.

After stepping out of the office building, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He sat on the steps at the entrance and took out his cell phone to make a call.

There were still two of the four Tier 1 supermarkets in New York City left. The one he contacted this time was one of them—Fresh, on Coleman Street.

Fresh’s biggest feature was its massive size. It was the largest supermarket in New York City. Their goods’ prices were moderate, and there were many imported goods of equal value. This selling point attracted many people.

However, he called for a long time and no one picked up. In the end, he hung up.

Refusing to admit defeat, he called repeatedly. But still, no one picked up. It seemed like there wasn’t anyone around.

Just as he was about to contact the next company, a voice suddenly came from behind. “Samuel, what are you doing here?”

He turned around. Arielle wore a short skirt today, so his viewing angle was almost perfect. He couldn’t help taking a few more glances, albeit not being able to see anything underneath. Soon after, he retracted his gaze and waved his phone. “I want to take a look at Fresh on Coleman Street. I tried calling their purchasing department, but I couldn’t get through.”

Arielle sighed. “Even if you contact this supermarket, I’m afraid we can’t reach an agreement with them.”

“Why?” he asked in surprise.

“The rental for the supermarket has expired. I heard from my friend that the owner has been discussing the renewal of the rental with the real estate, but they have yet to come to an agreement. If nothing goes wrong, this supermarket will close down and be put on sale at a low price in two days.” Arielle sighed again. As a fellow entrepreneur, she felt pity for Fresh’s situation.

The rental for the supermarket has expired… They have yet to come to an agreement…

At that moment, he suddenly had a crazy idea.

“Ms. Bright, do you have Fresh’s boss’s contact number?” He asked.

“Why do you ask?” She was surprised.

Samuel couldn’t reveal his true thoughts, so he decided to lie. “I want to talk to him about whether he can promote our liquor during promotions.”

“!!!”

Arielle almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

That’s bold of you! They’re about to close down, and you still want to take the opportunity to earn a sum?

“Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up by them?” She rolled her eyes at him.

“So, do you have his contact number?” He didn’t answer her question.

“I do.” She felt a little helpless, but she didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm.

After finding the contact number, she sent it over and reminded him. “Her name is Tara Braun. She doesn’t have a good temper, so I don’t recommend you to anger her now. If you really want to negotiate, don’t provoke her even if you can’t reach an agreement.”

“Don’t worry, I’m just asking. I won’t pester her.” He smiled.

“Okay, I’m heading to the warehouse. Call me if you have any questions.” She waved her hand and walked towards the warehouse in her high heels.

Although she was beautiful, he didn’t stare at her. He stood up and walked out of the liquor factory. He still had something important to discuss.

After leaving the liquor factory, Samuel dialed Tara Braun’s number.

The call was picked up quickly and a woman’s voice sounded. “Hello, who is this?”

“Hi, Ms. Braun. I’m Samuel Walker. I heard that your company has been discussing the renewal of its rental lately. I wonder if a conclusion has been reached?” Samuel asked.

“Do you have any advice for me?” Tara’s tone darkened.

Hearing her tone, Samuel guessed that there was most likely no result. Furthermore, the discussion had to be a dead end.

After calming down, he said, “If you can’t manage the negotiation, you can invite me to give it a shot, Ms. Braun. I’m ninety percent confident in settling it for you.”

A slender Tara was standing in front of a French window in a high-end district.

His words caused her heart to skip a beat.

Recently, she had been too busy with this matter. No matter what conditions she offered, the other party refused to renew the lease.

However, there was no free lunch in this world. She didn’t show much emotion as she asked calmly, “What do you want in exchange?”

He pondered for a moment.

If he were to say that he was a salesperson of a liquor factory with the aim of selling liquor, the other party would definitely think he was a liar.

After thinking for a while, he said, “I do have a motive, but I won’t blackmail you. We can talk about my needs after this matter is settled. If you agree, we can cooperate well. If not, it’s fine. I promise I won’t pester you. How about it?”

“What do you want? Is it not convenient to say?” Tara was a little wary.

“It’s not convenient right now, but it’s not illegal or against your morals,” he said affirmatively.

She didn’t believe him. Having something suddenly fall into her lap just like that. But his conditions would cause no harm to her at all.

Moreover, women were very curious, and she was no exception.

This man named Samuel had successfully aroused her interest. She steeled her heart and took it as giving it a try. She said, “When do you plan on discussing it? How do we do it?”
