Fortune Falls From Sky

“Thank you, Ms. Bright.” Samuel thanked Arielle and sat opposite her.

Arielle pretended to look at his resume and acted surprised. “I see. You just graduated half a month ago.”

“Yes, didn’t you notice it before, Ms. Bright?” Samuel’s heart skipped a beat.

“I honestly didn’t pay attention to it. I thought that you were experienced and simply wanted to job-hop.” Arielle regretfully said, “I’m sorry, but our liquor factory is currently in a crucial stage of development. We need experienced workers, the kind that can fit in the job right away. Here’s ten dollars to reimburse your cab fare. Please leave.”

Work experience? What’s with this standard response again!

Now that he possessed unimaginable abilities, Samuel’s mental state was also very different from before.

Arielle wanted to chase him away on purpose, how could he not realize it?

Sitting calmly, Samuel said with a smile, “Ms. Bright, although I just graduated, that doesn’t mean I’m not capable. I have studied our liquor factory. I think I can do this job.”

Arielle didn’t expect that this young man would actually take the initiative to fight for an opportunity. She couldn’t help thinking highly of Samuel. Without batting an eyelid, she questioned, “You think you’re qualified? What’s the reason?”

“I know about the business situation of our liquor factory. We can’t see our products on the market. The factory urgently needs to sell our liquor. Otherwise, our income will be lower than our expenditures. It’s only a matter of time before we go bankrupt.”

Arielle nodded indiscernibly. The current situation of the liquor factory was indeed urgent, but she still had a deep prejudice against Samuel, so she immediately pointed out the loophole. “Every liquor factory urgently needs to sell their liquor.”

Samuel didn’t panic as he replied, “Ms. Bright, allow me to be blunt. Our liquor factory has almost zero reputation. Compared to the big liquor factories, we’re neither famous nor reputable, so it is very challenging to promote ourselves. If the salespersons are experienced and capable, will they even choose our liquor factory over the big players? Or can you offer a high salary that no one can refuse?

“Those salespersons with experience but no ability have failed to achieve anything in the big liquor factories, so what makes you believe they can sell our liquor?”

Hearing Samuel’s words, Arielle’s heart couldn’t help but sink. What he said was the truth. This small liquor factory was like an average-looking older woman who no man wanted. Those great salespersons looked down on her, while she despised those inexperienced salespersons.

Just as she was about to say something, Samuel continued, “As for me, I don’t want the basic salary. I just want the sales commission. It’s good for our liquor factory if I can sell the liquor. If I can’t sell it, the company won’t lose anything. Ms. Bright, won’t you consider it?”

Arielle was indeed tempted.

In the liquor factory’s current situation, the employees’ salary was a huge sum, and Arielle had no reason to reject an employee that didn’t require any basic pay. Even if this rascal had seen her naked, she could observe him for a period of time. If his performance wasn’t good within a month, his contract could just be terminated.

“As long as it’s only commission, then fine. Your salary will be set at eight percent of your sales commission. How about that?” Arielle asked.

“The employees that are paid a basic salary at the big liquor factories earn a commission of around seven percent. Putting aside the size of our liquor factory, do you think this is appropriate?” Samuel asked.

Displeased, Arielle asked, “How much do you want, then?”

“Twenty percent,” Samuel said firmly.

Arielle slammed the table. “What kind of…”

Before the word “joke” was out, Samuel interrupted her. “I promise to sell at least 5,000 boxes in the first month!”

Arielle’s anger came and went faster than she could blink. Her tone became gentler as she looked at him suspiciously. “5,000 boxes?”

“Yes, minimally.” Samuel nodded. “If I don’t meet the requirements, I don’t need the month’s basic salary. Please add this clause into the contract.”

Arielle calculated quickly.

A twenty percent commission was considered quite high. However, if they sold at least 5,000 boxes of liquor, not only could they clean up their inventory, but the profits could also allow the company to operate smoothly.

After a long while, Arielle said, “Fifteen percent. This is the maximum that the company can give. If you don’t agree, then there’s no other way.”

Samuel knew that any commission rate that exceeded ten percent was decent. If it could reach fifteen percent, it would be a very high percentage in the industry.

“Alright, I agree.” Samuel agreed.

“When can you start work?” Arielle asked.

“Today.” Since there was nothing else to do, Samuel didn’t wish to delay any further.

“Sure, let’s sign the contract. Afterward, I’ll bring you around the factory to understand the company.” Arielle quickly made a decision and added, “Right, if the sales volume falls below 5,000 in the first month… No, 500 boxes, I will fire you.”

“No problem,” Samuel said nonchalantly.

The contract was drawn up very quickly. Arielle wrote the rules that the two of them had discussed in the contract. After printing it out, both parties signed and stamped the contract, and the contract was signed successfully.

Next, Arielle brought Samuel to meet his colleagues.

Due to the liquor factory’s small size, only the Finance Executive had any interactions with Arielle. As for the other departments, they simply reported to her, and that was about all.

Room 206 was the finance room. After knocking on the door, Arielle opened the door and brought Samuel in.

“Megan, let me introduce you to our new colleague, Samuel Walker. He’s currently in charge of selling liquor. Samuel, this is our Finance Executive, Megan Pierce,” Arielle introduced.

“Oh, it’s you.” Samuel’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her.
