Fortune Falls From Sky

When the 800 boxes of liquor were loaded onto the car, Arielle looked at Samuel and said, “Take my car and deliver the goods. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight to celebrate clinching a deal on your first day of work.”

Samuel got into Arielle’s BMW X5 and drove them to the supermarket.

Jacob had been waiting for a long time. After the boxes were delivered, he immediately arranged for someone to unload them.

Arielle clearly remembered the last time she saw Jacob. His attitude was cold. But today, Jacob was warm and polite to her. He even praised her a few times, which surprised her, but also greatly pleased her.

After delivering the goods and signing the supply slip, Arielle wanted to treat Jacob to a meal. However, he looked at Arielle and Samuel. He didn’t know what their relationship was, and he was afraid of spoiling Samuel’s plans, so he found an excuse to decline.

After dinner, it was already 8:30 PM.

“Where do you live? I’ll give you a ride,” Arielle asked.

“It’s a little far. I can go back by myself.” Samuel waved his hand.

“I have a car. I can send you home no matter how far away it is.” Arielle took as much care as she could for this hero.

Unable to refuse, Samuel told her his address. Arielle turned on the GPS and started the car.

In the car, she reminded him, “Appearances are very important to a salesperson. The more high-end one’s clothing is, the higher the success rate to clinch a deal. For this project, just the commission alone is 3,000 dollars. You can buy two sets of better clothes for yourself. Don’t save on that money. Only with investments will there be returns.”

Samuel knew that if he didn’t have the ability, it would be useless even if he wore gold. He casually replied, “Yes, I will take note.”

The two of them chatted and soon arrived at their destination.

Although Arielle had heard of an urban village, she had never been there.

As they drove along the bumpy cement road, they saw the old and crowded rows of houses. The filthy environment made her feel as if they had returned to the previous century.

He’s living in such a place?

Reality proved her theory. The car turned into a narrow alley and stopped in front of a three-story apartment building.

“Thank you, Ms. Bright.” Samuel thanked her immediately.

“Aren’t you going to invite me up?” Arielle asked with a smile.

“My house is too small. There’s nowhere to sit. I don’t want to give you trouble,” Samuel said awkwardly.

“You can start finding a better house tomorrow. It’s easy to find a property agent. Don’t be so stingy.” Arielle smiled.

“Alright. I will invite you when the day comes, then.” Samuel nodded.

“See you tomorrow.” Arielle didn’t dally any longer and started the car.

Samuel returned to his room. After washing up, he lay on his bed, his mood fluctuating.

Life was unpredictable. In the morning, he was still a good-for-nothing graduate. He was still worrying about his living expenses and couldn’t do anything about his father’s illness.

But now, he had easily earned 3,000 dollars in commission.

After he earned back his father’s life-saving money, he would work hard to become a tall, rich, and handsome man and turn the tables on the wealthy!

Perhaps because he was too tired today, Samuel fell asleep thinking about it.

…

The next morning.

When it came to sales, Samuel didn’t have to go to the company every day. All he needed to do was to close his deals.

After washing up, he went to the breakfast stall nearby and ordered some eggs and toast. As he ate, he thought about where he should go today.

New York City’s economy was developed, but it didn’t mean that every supermarket was capable of bringing in huge sales. Only a few supermarkets in New York City were comparable to Carrefour. Walmart on the other side of Noble Street was a good choice.

Samuel took out his phone and started searching for the phone number of this supermarket’s purchasing department.

While doing so, he couldn’t help being stunned. There were quite a lot of posts about this supermarket’s purchasing department.

The Purchasing Manager at Walmart on Noble Street is a huge idiot. I gave her a fifteen-percent rebate, which is already the highest percentage in the industry, and yet she told me to get lost!

She’s the most upright purchasing manager. She doesn’t want the rebate but uses it as a counter-offer instead. I don’t know if she’s really upright or if she doesn’t lack money.

The difficult Ms. Rogers is so tough to deal with. No matter how hard we try, we can’t convince her.

The best supermarket, most value for money in New York City has to be Walmart on Noble Street. Their purchasing manager chooses her products carefully. Rumor has it that she never takes back the goods and only looks at the quality-price ratio. As they are all high-quality goods, they won the recognition of the customers and gained a good reputation. This is also why Walmart became the best supermarket in the hearts of the people!

…

Looking at these posts, Samuel was greatly surprised.

This supermarket was very famous in New York City. Many people would rather travel than go to the surrounding supermarkets.

There was no other reason. The products of this supermarket had a high price-performance ratio and a guaranteed quality.

Almost all suppliers were desperate to sell their products there. In many people’s hearts, this supermarket was a standard measure for product quality.

And the reason for all this was their purchasing manager—Carol Rogers.

Amongst the complaints from the salespersons, Samuel roughly understood that this person’s work attitude was very strict, and she never accepted rebates.

Interesting. You’re my choice for today.

He secretly decided.

Picking up his phone, he called the number he found.

The call was picked up very quickly, and soon, he heard a stern lady’s voice. “Hello.”

“Ms. Rogers, are you in the company now?” Samuel asked.

“Yes, you are?” Carol was curious.

“I’m Samuel Walker from Ruby Liquor Factory. I would like to pay you a visit,” Samuel explained his intentions. “I have a few good-quality liquors with me.”

The sound of typing came from the other end of the phone. After a while, Carol’s voice was heard. “Someone from your factory came to us before. I’ve judged your products. The quality is okay, but it’s not famous enough. It’s very difficult to promote it, thus unsuitable for our supermarket. Sorry.”

Then, Carol hung up.

Difficult!

That was Samuel’s first impression of her.

Although he was rejected, he didn’t mind. His main purpose of calling was to confirm if Carol was in the office.

As for whether the cooperation would be successful or not, it depended on the other party’s attitude.

After his breakfast, he arrived at the bus stop and took a bus toward Noble Street.

At half-past nine, he arrived at Walmart’s purchasing department.

After knocking three times, Carol’s voice sounded. “Please come in.”

He pushed the door open, entered through the door, and saw a woman.

She was in her early forties, had short hair, clad in a professional suit, and wore metal-framed glasses. She looked very capable and experienced.

“You are?” Carol looked at him curiously.

At this time, a piece of information entered Samuel’s mind.

[Character: Carol Rogers, 42 years old, Purchasing Manager of Walmart on Noble Street.]

[Secret 1: She’s the biological younger sister of Noble Street’s Walmart’s owner.]

[Secret 2: 12 years ago, her daughter went missing and was never found. She doesn’t know that her daughter was adopted by someone named…]

[Secret 3: The loss of her daughter caused a lot of mental damage. She suffered from depression and relies on medication to relieve her illness. She likes to numb herself with work.]
