Zhao Chengqiang invited Qiao An and Cui Xinyu to the reception room upstairs.
The sales manager named Zhao and the female salesperson also followed him upstairs with their heads bowed.
Zhao Chengqiang first asked Qiao An and the other person to sit on the sofa, and then asked his men to pour them tea and water.
The sales manager and the female salesperson were like children who had done something wrong, trembling and lowering their heads as they stood in front of Qiao An and Cui Xinyu.
Zhao Chengqiang came over, pointed at their noses and cursed, "Is this how you two serve customers?"
"Let's not talk about whether Brother Qiao is my honored guest or not. With your service attitude, my Zhao Real Estate business will be ruined by you sooner or later!"
"Now, sincerely apologize to my brother Qiao An. If Qiao An doesn't forgive you two, you two will get out of Zhao Real Estate and I will never hire you again!"
The female salesperson was frightened by Zhao Chengqiang, and kept wiping her nose with her head down. Although the sales manager knew the inside story, it was the first time that Zhao Chengqiang scolded her so harshly. He was terrified, thinking that he would really drive him away.
"What are you two standing there for? Didn't you hear me clearly? Apologize!"
Zhao Chengqiang frowned and shouted at the two of them.
The saleswoman trembled. In order to keep her job, she mustered up the courage to stand up, bowed respectfully to Qiao An and Cui Xinyu, and said with tears in her eyes, "Boss Qiao, Ms. Cui, I'm sorry, it's my bad work attitude, please forgive me... wuwuwu..."
The sales manager also smiled bitterly, bowed and said, "Mr. Qiao, Ms. Cui, I'm sorry for being disrespectful to you just now. Just treat it as me farting. Please forgive me..."
Zhao Chengqiang saw that the sales manager was not sincere, so he walked up to him, kicked him in the butt, and cursed, "You are apologizing with a frivolous smile? Don't you want to do this anymore? Try again!"
The sales manager rubbed his butt in grievance, gritted his teeth, adjusted his expression, bowed to Qiao An again, and said with his head down, "Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry..."
Zhao Chengqiang didn't know whether he wanted to show off his authority or to calm Qiao An down, but he reached out to hit the sales manager.
But as soon as he raised his hand, Qiao An stood up from the sofa and stopped him.
Qiao An was moved and said, "Boss Zhao! Ignorance is not a crime. I forgive them. Please stop beating them!"
Cui Xinyu also said embarrassedly, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, we were not angry in the first place, please don't make things difficult for them."
Zhao Chengqiang took back his slap, sighed, and said, "Brother Qiao An, I'm so sorry! It's my fault for not being strict with my subordinates and letting you guys suffer! Don't worry, I'll fire them both in a while, so don't take it personally, and forgive me this time!"
Hearing the word "fired", the saleswoman burst into tears and pleaded with Zhao Chengqiang, "Boss Zhao, it wasn't easy for me to get this job, and I work very hard at my job, please don't fire me..."
The sales manager also kept winking at Zhao Chengqiang, as if to say, "Brother, isn't this just acting? Why are you doing this for real?"
Zhao Chengqiang didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. Anyway, the more painfully the saleswoman cried, the more realistic the play seemed.
When Qiao An saw that Zhao Chengqiang was willing to severely punish his men for her sake, she was deeply moved.
He thought to himself, Mr. Zhao is so sincere to others, he is such a good person!
He also came from a low-income family and knew how hard it was to get a job. He also couldn't bear to see two salesmen lose their jobs because of him.
So, he said to Zhao Chengqiang with a serious look, "Boss Zhao, they have already apologized, so don't punish them anymore."
When had Cui Xinyu ever seen such a scene? She was stunned by Zhao Cheng's powerful boss's aura. She nodded and said, "That's right, they didn't do it on purpose. Don't punish them."
Zhao Chengqiang sighed, pretending to be heartbroken, nodded helplessly, then waved his hand at the two salesmen and said, "Okay, since Brother Qiao pleaded for you two, I'll let you go this time! Remember, from now on, Brother Qiao's visit to the sales office will be the same as my personal visit. If you don't treat him well again, don't blame me for firing you!"
"Yes, yes...we remember it."
The two salesmen nodded their heads in approval, and as if they had been pardoned, they bowed and left the reception room.
Soon, only Zhao Chengqiang, Qiao An and Cui Xinyu were left in the room.
Zhao Chengqiang showed a gentle smile on his face and raised his hand, motioning Qiao An and the other person to have some tea.
Joan nodded politely in response and then got back to the topic.
Qiao An said, "Mr. Zhao, I also know about the housing prices here. To be honest, I can't afford it with my salary. You are already giving us a lot of face by personally receiving us today. Xinyu and I are very grateful... As for the house, I think we should forget about it. We will go look somewhere else. If it doesn't work out, we can buy an old and small house to live in first and talk about it later."
Qiao An said this not to really give up the house here, but to be humble and test Zhao Chengqiang's attitude first.
Zhao Chengqiang slapped his thigh and said proudly, "Brother Qiao, from the sound of your voice, you still seem angry! Just listen to me, the house is mine, and I have the final say on how much it can be sold for. Don't worry about the money. If it really doesn't work out, I can give you a house for free!"
Qiao An was shocked. She stared at Zhao Chengqiang with wide eyes in disbelief and said excitedly, "Give it away for free? No, no, no, that won't do... Every business has costs. Even if I have no money, I must give it to you even if I owe you money!"
Cui Xinyu was so shocked that she was speechless after hearing this. Getting a house for free was such a huge surprise. She never dared to think about it even in her dreams!
Zhao Chengqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Brother Qiao, I am a man of loyalty and affection, but I don't care much about money. As long as you treat me as a friend, what's wrong with me giving you a house? Could it be that Brother Qiao despises me as a businessman and doesn't want to be friends with me?"
