At the end of July, Zhou Xu joined a subsidiary of the Zhou Corporation. His internship position was a sales assistant for a construction company.
What Zhou Qiang meant was to let Zhou Xu start from the grassroots first. If he can achieve results, he will naturally be promoted. Zhou Xu didn't object either, because he knew that in a few months, Zhou Qiang's other two young sons would be born.
Those who were arranged by Zhou Qiang to join the company included Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli. After all, Zhou Xueli had been very quiet after the last incident, but at this time Zhou Qiang had already lost confidence in Zhou Xueli. All thrown to the same place.
At this time, Zhou Xueli's feet had already taken shape, and he was completely crippled, and this should be "attributed" to his biological father.
He clearly remembered the way Zhou Qiang was holding a golf club. It was terrifying, ferocious, and had nothing to do with love. However, Zhou Xueli's leg was broken by his own father so abruptly.
There is no Wen Chan in the school, and there are Zhou Xu and Zhou Qiang at home. Zhou Xueli feels that his life is really meaningless. He lives like a walking dead. The shadow, the life after rebirth turned out to be his shadow too.
He thought he had been given up by Zhou Qiang, but he didn't expect him to remember him, so Zhou Xueli, who had been ashamed, finally cheered up again, and prepared to defeat Zhou Xu again in the company's affairs, and win his father's favor again.
Perhaps this is the difference between Zhou Xueli and Zhou Xu. Facing the same scumbag father, what Zhou Xu thought was to overthrow this person and make him suffer, while what Zhou Xueli thought was how to get the love of this scumbag father.
The two entered the company at the same time, and the sales manager of the company was not a fool. After a few days, he guessed the identities of the two people, so he dared not control them even more, but they were really serious.
The reality is that no matter how serious they are, the houses they want to sell now will be difficult to sell, because they are really too far away.
No matter which businessman, it is not all smooth sailing, and neither is Zhou Qiang. He also has failures, such as the investment in this land.
When Zhou Qiang went to investigate, it happened to be a rainy day, and when he got out of the car, there happened to be a rainbow in the sky, and the air was fresh. Zhou Qiang was in a good mood, thinking that if this place was built into a group of villas, it should be very easy to sell, so there are dozens of them that are now unsalable. Set of villas.
Of course, the company still has other houses to sell, but there is no need to worry about those at all. They have already been sold before they are basically completed.
Zhou Xu asked the manager for the construction drawings of the villa, read it carefully, and knew the general structure.
Because these villas are located in the outskirts of first-tier cities, the company’s pricing is already very reasonable, which is similar to the prices of buildings in the city center. The key point is that these villas are all single-family houses, and each villa has its own about 200 square meters. Small garden, it stands to reason that this kind of villa should be easy to sell, but unfortunately the villas of their company are really too far away.
Closing his eyes, Zhou Xu thought for a while, but he didn't think of any good solution for the time being. He planned to go to the villa area in the afternoon before talking about it.
After making a decision, Zhou Xu made an appointment with Nie Yuantong himself, because he heard that there was a good farmhouse nearby, so he thought it was a date with Nie Yuantong. Anyway, it was summer vacation, and Nie Yuantong was bored every day.
After receiving the call, Nie Yuantong agreed without hesitation for half a second.
Driving his own Rolls-Royce, Nie Yuantong went to pick up Zhou Xu at the door of the company. Zhou Xu was used to it now, and sat on it without any pressure, fastened his seat belt, and Zhou Xu said, "Go to the eastern suburbs."
After hearing this, Nie Yuantong started the car directly, turned eastward at the intersection ahead, and asked after turning, "Why are you going to the eastern suburbs?"
"Please eat."
"You have invited me back for this meal. By the way, what are you going to eat? Also, is there anything you want to do there?"
Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, Nie Yuantong already knew him very well. As long as Zhou Xu took the initiative to find him, it was basically because of something.
"Going to inspect a villa area, I heard that there is a good farmhouse nearby, so I ask you to go with me."
Nie Yuantong also laughed while driving, "Very good, you still remember to call me."
The time passed by the two of them was relatively fast, and even Zhou Xu felt that the hour and a half in the car was really not a torment at all.
When he arrived at the villa area in the eastern suburbs, Zhou Xu understood why some people came to see the house, but almost no one bought it in the end. First of all, the road here is not good.
Let’s not talk about how narrow the road is. The key point is that there is a long section of the road that is full of potholes. Because there are farmlands on both sides, the potholes on the road are full of dirt. If it rains, it will definitely be more annoying.
Finally driving into the villa area, Zhou Xu found that the roads inside the community were really good, but after opening the gate of a villa, Zhou Xu became more clear, because the promised 200-square-meter garden was nothing but empty talk, and there were only two hundred square meters of open space.
There is no decoration at all in the villa, which aggravates the hesitation of the people who come to see the house. It is precisely because of the superposition of these reasons that the villa area cannot be sold.
Nie Yuantong followed Zhou Xu, and when he saw the house, he whistled directly.
Zhou Xu looked sideways at him: "What do you mean?"
Nie Yuantong replied: "This villa is very interesting. If it is decorated, it should be good."
"Do you have any idea?"
Nie Yuantong then said: "The first floor is the living room, there is no suspense about this, but the kitchen here, you come to see, it is actually very mysterious, although it is an open kitchen, but if the color of the living room here is black and white as the main color, Then add the red folding doors here…”
Nie Yuantong designed everything from the living room to the kitchen, to the toilet, bedroom, study, and balcony. He even made detailed designs for the garden in front of him. He told Zhou Xu all his ideas. At first I just listened, but the more I listened, the more I realized that Nie Yuantong was really good at interior design. He even had his own opinions on such small issues as how to design sockets. It's a wonderful way to do the same thing.
After Nie Yuantong finished speaking, Zhou Xu handed him the mineral water in his hand: "You're thirsty, I've talked so much."
Nie Yuantong: "..."
"Don't worry, your idea is very good. Anyway, you are fine during summer vacation, so come and help me with the design."
"Why, this house is yours?"
"No, my dad's, I can't sell it, let me help you sell it."
"Hahaha, very good, if I design a good design and sell it for you all, can you keep a set for me, by the way, the price will be discounted, 40% off the current price, how about it? "
"Do you think I'll agree?"
"You will, but your boss may not, but you will fight for me." As he spoke, Nie Yuantong kissed Zhou Xu quickly, and then continued as if asking for credit, "I don't need design fees, and I often give you money." How about a lot of kisses in return?"
Zhou Xu couldn't find anything to respond to Nie Yuantong for a while, so he could only walk away in silence. He needed to see how to deal with the rough road outside.
When the two went back that day, it was already late at night, and Zhou Xu and Nie Yuantong had divided their work. Nie Yuantong was in charge of the interior design, and Zhou Xu was in charge of the surrounding environment of the community.
During the meal, Zhou Qiang asked his two sons how their work was going. Both Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli said it was going well. Zhou Qiang was very pleased. Looking at the smiling Ke Tuer beside him, he felt that his life was considered happy, especially The two lovers outside are about to give birth, Zhou Qiang couldn't keep his mouth shut when he thought of this.
Zhou Qiang thought that Ke Tuer was so happy now because he followed him. What he didn't know was that Ke Tuer had already started to work as a secretary, and he had already begun to know many secrets of the Zhou family.
Others didn't understand, but Zhou Xu knew it very well. He looked at Ke Tuer and said with a smile, "Dad, Aunt Ke seems very happy after following you. You should be so sweet in the future."
"Hahaha, don't worry, son, we will." Zhou Qiang was in a good mood, and even agreed to Zhou Xu's request, which was to use his connections to contact the local leaders in the villa area to rebuild a certain section of the rough road. And widened.
Zhou Qiang was very happy, and replied casually: "Xiao Xu, don't worry, even if you lose money, you can learn from experience."
"Okay, thank you Dad."
In order to regain Zhou Qiang's love, Zhou Xueli worked extraordinarily hard on selling villas, and even promoted them at other villa sales outlets. However, his behavior was very unkind, and the company manager received several complaints. After the letter, he could only tell Zhou Xueli tactfully that this method was not acceptable.
Zhou Xueli nodded, and then began to think of other ways. He started to advertise the villa in various ways, and then promoted it on the Internet, but no matter how well he advertised, the guests were completely speechless when they went to see the house.
What Zhou Xueli did annoyed Zhou Xu, so he simply went to the sales manager and said bluntly: "There are a total of forty-six villas, I am in charge of twenty-three, and Zhou Xueli is in charge of twenty-three. The guests were also scared away by him."
The manager nodded and replied: "Yes, it happens that the villa is on both sides of the road, with 23 on one side. Zhou Xu, you will be in charge of the east side of the road, and let Zhou Xueli be in charge of the west side."
"Okay, that's it."
Since then, Zhou Xueli has been busy selling houses. One month later, he actually sold two houses. Zhou Xu still did not sell one house after a month.
Maybe he felt that he was very good, so Zhou Xueli began to mock Zhou Xu, and even began to point out that Zhou Xu was lazy during the meal. Obviously he had already sold, but Zhou Xu didn't move at all.
Zhou Qiang also wondered why the sensible Zhou Xu became so slow this time, so he said a few words to Zhou Xu: "Xiao Xu, don't let me down too much, I trusted you very much at first, It’s really not good for you to do this now, young people just have to be aggressive. If you communicate more with customers, you’ll definitely be able to sell it, don’t you think it’ll be sold after learning the ceremony?”
Nodding his head, Zhou Xu respectfully said, "I see."
But in his heart, Zhou Xu didn't mean to be respectful at all. He knew that his father was a selfish man, and Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli were not raised by Zhou Qiang, but were raised by nanny. It can be said that Zhou Qiang has never held a child in his life. , in his impression, as long as he has money, he doesn't have to do anything anyway, and the child has grown up.
It was precisely because he knew Zhou Qiang that Zhou Xu hated him.
Another month has passed, and Zhou Xueli has already sold five villas. Over there, Zhou Xu still hasn't sold one villa, but he used Zhou Qiang's relationship to repair the rough road outside. It was because of this that Zhou Xueli sold another villa.
One week before the end of the summer vacation, Zhou Xu suddenly told Zhou Qiang: "Dad, there is a farmhouse in the eastern suburbs, and the taste is very good. Do you want to ask your friends to come and cheer for it?"
"Farmhouse? Interesting?"
"It's very interesting, and you can also visit more than 20 gardens, which are very beautiful."
"There are more than 20 gardens in the eastern suburbs? Why haven't I heard of them?"
"I just finished it recently. Dad, if you call more friends tomorrow, it's equivalent to opening up contacts for Xueli and me, okay?"
Zhou Qiang looked at Zhou Xu, then at Zhou Xueli next to him, and nodded.
Zhou Xueli originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that he could open up contacts, and that Zhou Qiang would also go, he decided to follow suit, and maybe let Zhou Qiang see the results of selling several villas.
Full of pride, Zhou Xueli said: "Dad, you can go, I sold all the villas in the eastern suburbs of yours, just go and have a look."
"Well, okay, then at noon tomorrow, it's too early and my friends may not be used to it."
"Okay, Dad, so I'll ask Nongjiale to prepare more food, all of which are home-grown, and the meat and vegetables are very clean."
"Um."
It happened to rain that night, and the next day was not so hot, it was refreshing and comfortable, as if the heat of summer had passed, and the sticky feeling that followed summer was gone.
When they came to the eastern suburbs, Zhou Qiang and a group of successful people thought they were here to relax.
Zhou Xu originally thought that only ten people would come, but he didn't expect that there were more than thirty people here, not counting children and family members.
A group of 20 or 30 luxury cars passed by, and it became a scene on the road.
At the farmhouse in the eastern suburbs, Zhou Xu acted as the host himself, Nie Yuantong acted as Zhou Xu's helper, and Zhou Qiang was followed by the sales manager of the villa area and Zhou Xueli.
I only heard Zhou Xu say loudly: "Everyone doesn't know, there are more than 20 small gardens newly developed here."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they had never heard of it.
Zhou Xu continued, "Today, uncles and aunts, you should treat it as a tourist, follow me, and I will take you to see these gardens."
Zhou Qiang also didn't know anything. The sales manager beside him whispered, "Mr. Zhou, Zhou Xu did everything. He even doubled the price of the villa. You'll know it when you see it."
"Huh? Xiaoxu did it? What the hell is he doing?"
"Mr. Zhou, I've been asked to keep it secret, so I can't say it now."
"Okay, I'll follow you to have a look."
The group followed Zhou Xu to the nearby villa area. After entering, someone joked, "Zhou Qiang, isn't this the villa you developed last year?"
Zhou Qiang said with a smile: "Yes, my son is in charge now, hahaha..."
"What the hell are you father and son doing?"
"Well, I really don't know. My son did it all. Since they're all here, take it as a way to save face and see what the hell my son is doing."
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't do anything. Someone else did it. I just let everyone take a look. Now, I'm going to open the first garden."
Everyone's appetite was whetted. When the gate of the villa was opened, everyone was stunned. This is a garden, it's obviously a fairyland.
The 200-square-meter garden is tidy and tidy. On the far left is a huge cherry tree. Although there are no more cherries now, it will definitely look good in spring. In fact, this cherry tree has another function, which is to shade.
Under the cherry tree is a white stone table, and the chairs beside the table are also white.
In front of the stone table, there is a piece of pink roses, which just climbed one. The rose on this side reflects the rose on the wall again, but the rose on the wall is white.
Beyond the rose season, there is a pool of running water, under which a few koi swim leisurely, and the running water extends to the south.
Walking along this small canal, there are various kinds of flowers next to it, high and low, with distinct layers. Finally, the flowers and the running water extend to the gate, but suddenly there is a sharp turn, and the running water extends to the north again. Go, and those layered flowers stop here, but if you look carefully, you will find a row of small blue flowers, crossing the stone road in the middle, to the other side of the yard.
The other side subtly complements this side. No matter the color or size of the flowers, even the running water, there is something that complements this side. It is a small fountain. The fountain seems to follow a piano music, and it becomes different in height and height.
The people who came to see were either speechless with their mouths open, or they were amazed. Such beautiful scenery can hardly be found in this noisy city. It is as quiet as a paradise. After people enter, even their hearts are quiet. like.
Someone finally came to his senses and asked Zhou Qiang: "Brother Zhou, isn't your villa still for sale? Has this one been sold? If not, I will take it. It doesn't matter how much it costs. I bought it for my daughter. She likes that kind of stuff."
"No no, Brother Zhou, give it to me first. My son is getting married next month. His new house is in the city center. That's boring, right? Isn't this just right for my son to marry? Right, Brother Zhou ?”
…
There was a lot of chatter, these people stopped Zhou Qiang from asking, he looked at the sales manager next to him and asked, "Is it sold?"
The manager shook his head and said, "It's all prepared by Mr. Zhou. He didn't let anyone see it. He said he would sell it to someone who is destined."
So the people who liked this house looked at Zhou Xu again, Zhou Xu smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, this is just the yard outside after all, let's see what's going on inside first."
Following Zhou Xu, stepping on the path made of cobblestones, a group of people entered the house.
The entrance was clean and tidy, and there seemed to be nothing new, but as soon as they entered the living room, they were all silent. This decoration is simply too satisfactory.
There is no cumbersome place, the color tone is white and black, but in the middle of white and black, one of the walls is painted purple blue, with a purple blue coffee table, and a few small decorations, the whole living room is at once beautiful. Much more honorable.
And the kitchen, perfect.
The bathroom is perfect.
Bedroom, perfect.
The balcony is perfect.
After viewing the villa, people who didn't need to buy a house joined the ranks of asking prices.
After visiting this house, Zhou Xu and Nie Yuantong looked at each other and smiled. They both knew that they had succeeded. These twenty-three houses should be sold within half a month.
"Don't worry, everyone. Let's take a look at the next house. The decoration there is different, and the garden is even more different, and everyone has a lot of choices. Twenty-three styles, you can choose whatever you want."
A group of people visited twenty-three houses and indeed twenty-three gardens. After they sat down in the farmhouse, even Zhou Qiang himself took a fancy to two houses, and he would not give them to anyone else.
Zhou Xu was wrong. It wasn't that he could sell all the houses in half a month, but all his twenty-three houses were booked within half a day.
Some of these people bought it for themselves, some for their children, some for their elderly parents, and some just bought it as a vacation spot.
Moreover, people have a herd mentality. If you buy one, you don’t think so, but if you want to buy ten, then you want to buy the rest, especially if this group of people is really rich.
At the dinner table, Zhou Qiang couldn't close his mouth because everyone was praising him for educating children.
Zhou Xueli lowered his head and kept silent. Zhou Qiang didn't even look at him from the beginning to the end. No one around him thought he was Zhou Qiang's son. He was defeated by Zhou Xu again, and he was defeated terribly.
Clenching his fists, he really wanted Zhou Xu to leave this world.
Why does he have such an elder brother who is better than himself in every aspect, but born in the same family, how can he live
Zhou Xueli gritted his teeth over there, holding back, not daring to speak, while Zhou Xu was dragged away by Nie Yuantong.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you promise me to keep one for me? The last one, I was considering for the two of us to live in, and you sold it too?"
Unable to help laughing, Zhou Xu said, "Do you really want to live with these people?"
As he said that, Zhou Xu glanced at the people in the room, and Nie Yuantong also looked at the group of people in the room, then shook his head, "I don't want to, but I have already..."
"What's wrong?"
"I've put, ahem, just..."
"What?"
"Yeah, I've put lube and condoms under that mattress."
