Chapter 180 - 180: 180: Empathy for the Poor Background
He thought the same thing when he was delivering packages; hard work would allow him to maintain his clientele and earn more money.
However, he didn’t have the best of luck, having labored for two years with little salary increase in a dog-eat-dog world.
With nowhere else to turn, he continued working as a deliveryman.
Now, hearing what Suri Drew said, he empathized with this hardworking girl, who shared a similar background of poverty.
Seeing that the lady didn’t have any reaction, Suri looked at one of the male salesmen and said, “Could you please call her over? Thank you.”
When she spoke to the male salesman, her aloof demeanor instantly returned, a stark contrast to the tenderness she had shown Yigol moments ago.
The other salespeople envied and despised her, but it was already a fait accompli, and their unwillingness wouldn’t change anything.
Under such circumstances, if nothing went awry, such customers were basically deemed a closed deal. If they didn’t make money but offended the clients, they’d be in deep trouble.
“Rose Campbell, a customer has specifically requested you to show them a house. Stop what you’re doing, and hurry up.”
“Rose Campbell, put down whatever you’re doing and come over.”
After being called out twice, the girl named Rose Campbell looked up.
She was a young woman in her early twenties, appearing new to the workforce, still carrying a trace of naivety.
She was quite good-looking, a very pretty girl.
“Rose Campbell, what are you doing? Hurry up.”
“This customer wants you to show them a house. Hurry up.”
Rose herself didn’t understand what was going on, but her colleagues were growing increasingly anxious, fearing that making this important client wait might cause trouble. They didn’t dare neglect them for a moment.
Looking puzzled, Rose walked over.
“Rose Campbell, these two important customers have specifically chosen you to show them the house. Prepare quickly and take them there.”
“Yes, hurry up.”
Someone took the cloth from Rose’s hand.
The girl called Rose Campbell still didn’t understand what was happening.
Suri smiled faintly and asked, “Your name is Rose Campbell, right? We’d like to see the top unit. Would you mind showing us around and providing some information?”
“Ah?” Rose looked at Suri and Yigol in surprise, then at her colleagues around her, stuttering, “1- I’m new here, I just arrived two days ago, and I don’t know how to do this.”
The other female salespeople, who had no work as it was close to the end of their shift, approached quickly.
They knew Rose was a clueless youngster. If she just kept her mouth shut, it would have been fine, but upon hearing her admission, they saw an opportunity and approached.
They secretly scorned Rose for her foolishness. This was too good an opportunity to pass up, and even if she didn’t know what to do, she shouldn’t have admitted it outright. She should have insisted on trying.
Although Rose was new, every new employee would first look at the top unit’s information, so there should be no problem going ahead.
Rose was indeed very forthright.
Given the chance to replace Rose, they could receive a commission worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, so they were more than willing to serve Suri and Yigol.
“Rose, the house they want to see is the top unit. Haven’t you been studying its information for days?” One male colleague, unable to bear it any longer, hurriedly reminded her.
“Look at the top unit?” Rose was surprised, very surprised, and worried that she might not be able to serve these two clients well. She was afraid of losing the opportunity that had already presented itself. At that moment, countless complicated thoughts raced through Rose’s mind.
Suri responded calmly, “It’s okay if you don’t know. We’ve already seen pictures of it online and came here specifically to see if it’s the same as in the photos.
Just introduce what you know and don’t be nervous.”
“Uh, so, I’ll… 1’11…,” Rose became flustered, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go to get the key and some information from our manager, and then I’ll drive you over.”
Suri replied, “You don’t have to bother; we have a car. It wouldn’t be safe for you to drive in your current state.”
Rose quickly fetched the key and the information, and with envious and jealous eyes from her colleagues, they made their way outside.
Yigol was the driver, with Suri seated beside him and Rose in the back.
Feeling the tension and noticing Rose’s tightly clasped hands, Suri chuckled and said, “Rose, you don’t need to be so nervous. We’re not taking you to do anything, just to see a house.”
“Make sure we’re on the right route; it would be a hassle if we took a wrong turn.”
Suri intentionally tried to alleviate the young lady’s tension. Otherwise, they would be aware of the house’s location, but without a salesperson, they wouldn’t be able to go in and see it.
“I – I’ve been paying close attention to the road. We’re not lost,” Rose said nervously.
“You said you’ve only been here for a couple of days. How did you choose this kind of job? Is this your first job?” Suri asked curiously.
She thought that talking more with the girl would help her relax.
One reason for Rose’s nervousness might be that she had just started working and was immediately assigned a task involving wealthy clients, which made her anxious.
Many people like to deify the rich, as if they were unattainable.
“I was actually fine before. It’s just that today I was suddenly chosen, and you want to see the top unit, so I’m so nervous,” Rose replied hesitantly.
Suri couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “What if we tell you later that we don’t want the top unit anymore? You’d be so frustrated that you would want to kill someone, right? Wouldn’t that make you less nervous now?”
Trying to adjust her emotions, Rose answered, “I think you guys will buy it, and that’s why I’m so nervous. To be able to serve clients like you and sell the top unit directly, just two days after starting, makes me very tense..”
