Chapter 167: Chapter 114: When the Snipe and the Clam Grapple, Qi Sheng Profits

The moment they left the sales office, Xue Zhongyun became the center of attention.

She was showered with applause and flattery.

"Yunyun, you’re amazing! You’ve definitely locked up the top sales spot for this month."

"Damn, her commission alone is 210,000. I wish a top-tier rich kid would take a liking to me, too. He wouldn’t even have to be as handsome as that one."

"Looks don’t pay the bills, but if a guy is tall, rich, *and* handsome? Forget being his mistress, I’d gladly be his maid."

Watching her colleagues swoon one after another, Chen Jing found she could understand them.

For women in real estate, especially those selling luxury properties, how many didn’t dream of becoming a rich man’s wife?

In most cases, the best they could hope for was a designer bag.

A generous patron might give them a few hundred thousand as a parting gift.

Xue Zhongyun’s face lit up with joy from her colleagues’ flattery, but she still had her wits about her.

She knew exactly who she had to thank for all of this.

As she recalled Qi Sheng’s incredible stamina, Xue Zhongyun blushed and sent Miduo a message on WeChat.

Xue Zhongyun: Duoduo, I did something yesterday that I need to apologize for.

Miduo: You didn’t hook up with Li Chengqian, did you?

Xue Zhongyun: Screw you! Is my taste that bad?

Miduo: Phew, good. You scared me for a second.

Xue Zhongyun: Qi Sheng came to the sales office yesterday with two girls to look at apartments. He asked me out to dinner afterward, and... we slept together.

Miduo: That’s it?

Xue Zhongyun: You’re not mad?

Miduo: Please, I’m not his girlfriend. Congratulations, you finally hooked my man.

Xue Zhongyun: Screw you. I just have a tenuous connection with him now. It’s nothing compared to your place in his heart. I was thinking, maybe we could ask him out together next time. What do you think?

Miduo: Fine, what can I do? You’re my best friend. But now that you’ve hit the jackpot, don’t forget to come to my shop and buy a bag.

Xue Zhongyun: Don’t worry. As soon as my commission comes in this month, I’ll come support your business.

Seeing Miduo agree so readily, Xue Zhongyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Yun, the manager is organizing a dinner later to celebrate your sale. Are you going?"

"I’ll skip the dinner. I’m going to ask the manager for an advance on my commission. I have plans to take my friend out to eat later."

Miduo was her only hope right now, so of course she had to maintain that relationship.

"Sister Miduo?"

Chen Jing’s eyes lit up. She’d heard Xue Zhongyun mention it before.

It was through Miduo that she had met Qi Sheng.

Miduo’s place in Qi Sheng’s heart was much more secure than Xue Zhongyun’s.

"Yeah. Want to come with?"

Xue Zhongyun was genuinely grateful to Chen Jing.

Otherwise, she’d still be foolishly agonizing over how she had supposedly lost the big sale.

"In that case, let me treat you two to Japanese food tonight. The place has great reviews. You both have to do me the honor."

This was the exact opportunity Chen Jing had been waiting for. She certainly didn’t mind paying for a nice meal to butter up her two "matchmakers."

"This generous? That’s not like you."

Xue Zhongyun had known Chen Jing for some time, and she was usually quite frugal.

So, seeing Chen Jing offer to treat them to Japanese food out of the blue, Xue Zhongyun couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

"Well, Sister Yun has struck it rich, so of course I have to suck up a little. Don’t forget your friends when you’re wealthy!"

Chen Jing’s smile was sincere, but she knew she couldn’t make her intentions too obvious.

Otherwise, she would certainly earn Xue Zhongyun’s animosity.

’After all, she hasn’t even secured her own position yet, and here I am, already trying to latch onto Qi Sheng. Anyone in her shoes would be upset.’

"Alright... how about we try and see if we can get Qi Sheng to come out?"

Xue Zhongyun didn’t have much confidence in her own charm.

But she had complete faith in her best friend, Miduo.

Next to Miduo, she felt her own figure was completely unappealing.

"That would be great!"

Chen Jing hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise.

’If I can connect with Qi Sheng directly, I won’t have to waste my time trying to please Xue Zhongyun.’

"I’ll ask, but don’t get your hopes up."

Xue Zhongyun didn’t think much of it.

’This girl is so pretty and sweet.’

She had no idea that the other girl had the exact same goal: to latch onto that man.

When Miduo received her best friend’s invitation to dinner, of course she wasn’t going to refuse.

But as for what Qi Sheng would want to do, she couldn’t say for sure.

Xu Ying had just called her, all excited.

’He’s probably having a grand time with those two girls right now. Why would he be in the mood to take my call?’

...

Building 6, 20th Floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, the entire floor before them would be their new home.

Qi Sheng had no intention of knocking down the wall between the two apartments.

It was actually more thrilling this way, creating a sense of anticipation, like sneaking from one home to another.

Arm in arm, Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying chattered excitedly about how they would decorate their respective apartments.

When he heard them wondering if their meager allowances would be enough for the interior decorating, Qi Sheng slapped his forehead, finally remembering something he’d forgotten.

Qi Sheng walked out onto the balcony and called Miduo.

"Hello, darling?"

Miduo’s voice was very distinctive.

It carried a hint of mature worldliness, yet also possessed a girlish vivacity.

"I just remembered something. The budget for decorating your apartment isn’t really enough, is it?"

"It’s fine. You gave me 600,000 before, remember? I’ve almost spent it all. When do you have time to come over and inspect my handiwork?"

Miduo hadn’t been alone and intimate with Qi Sheng in a long time.

The apartment at Renheng Riverside Bay was their private love nest.

"Maybe later. I can’t get away right now."

Qi Sheng turned to look at Xu Ying and Pei Yinyin.

’It’d be a crime against my investment not to cash in on some ’benefits’ right now,’ he thought. ’Besides, the two of them are probably dying to repay me with their bodies.’
