Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 25 Winter of 2013
As they were talking, Chen Yan and his group of nine arrived at the entrance of a pizza shop.

"Who's willing to be the first to go in and try?" Chen Yan asked.

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not ready yet.

"Let me do it."

Wang Tie was the first to step forward again.

He straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and pushed open the glass door of the pizzeria.

Chen Yan led the remaining seven people inside, casually found a table to sit down, and ordered a glass of juice for each of them.

The store has a simple and stylish interior design, with warm yellow lighting in the space of about 100 square meters. The tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of pizza.

Wang Tie walked straight to the cashier, forced a smile, and said to the owner:

"Boss, your business seems pretty good. Do you need part-time workers when you're too busy?"

The boss was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. He glanced at Wang Tie with a hint of impatience in his eyes and casually asked, "What do you want? Just say it."

Wang Tie quickly handed over his business card and began to explain in detail the functions of the "Daily Part-Time Job" app.

However, before he could finish speaking...

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Young man, I don't need any here. Go look somewhere else."

After saying that, he turned around and went to greet the other employees, ignoring Wang Tie.

Wang Tie's smile froze on his face. He wanted to try again, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

Left with no other choice, he could only turn around dejectedly and come to Chen Yan's side.

Chen Yan handed him a glass of warm juice and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go outside and talk first."

Once outside, Chen Yan glanced at the eight people and then looked at Wang Tie: "I think Wang Tie's performance just now was excellent. It's already very good that a newcomer can not be nervous on his first time."

Chen Yan paused, then looked at the others: "Do you know where he needs to improve?"

The group looked at each other, then shook their heads in bewilderment.

Chen Yan continued, "First of all, you can't go straight to the point. You need to 'break the ice.' What does 'breaking the ice' mean? It means that when two strangers meet for the first time, their first reaction is to be wary of you as a scammer. You need to break through their concerns, which requires you to get closer to them first."

"For example, you can ask that boss where he's from. What if he's from the same hometown as you? As the saying goes, when people from the same hometown meet, their eyes well up with tears. Wouldn't that immediately increase the level of trust?"

"For example, you can chat with him for a while, ask him how his business is doing lately, how old his children are, etc. In short, don't reveal your needs too quickly. The first step must be to build trust between the two of you!"

"If he gets impatient and doesn't want to chat with you, you can compliment him, such as saying he's handsome, looks young, or is successful in his career. After all, you can't hit a smiling face..."

……

After Chen Yan finished giving them his "lesson," he took them into two more stores.

Although the deal still didn't go through, at least the bosses were willing to sit down and talk on both occasions, and one of them even said he would consider it.

Although it was probably just polite talk, it was a huge step forward for these new employees!

"Alright, then you can all split up here and go talk to clients yourselves from now on."

"I'll stay here with you today. If you meet a boss you're interested in but feel you can't handle it, just give me a call and I'll take a taxi over to support you!"

And so, under Chen Yan's instructions, the eight BD managers began their first day of work in different directions.

..............................

Over the next few days, Chen Yan accompanied these eight BD managers on their market trips every day.

Oh no.

There are only 6 people left now, and 2 of them have already resigned due to the pressure.

Chen Yan didn't try to stop them or say anything; he simply told them to go to the finance lady to collect their wages and leave. This position was inherently like that—high turnover, but also very demanding. Those who could withstand the pressure and persevere would grow rapidly in a short time.

For example, Wang Tie is a very hardworking young man. While others get off work at 6 pm, he often stays out sweeping the streets alone until 11 pm.

Of course, the results are also remarkable; he can now talk to a new client almost every day.

Chen Yan's commission for BD is based on the size of the client.

If the customer base is small, the commission is 100 per order. However, if the customer base is large, there is no upper limit to the commission, and it is not impossible to earn a five-figure commission per order.

Where there are hard-working people, there will naturally be those who slack off.

Some people would casually visit a few clients and then go to an internet cafe to play games, sometimes for an entire afternoon.

Chen Yan didn't say much, but he silently observed everything.

……

Time seems to be quietly turned by an invisible hand, and the calendar turns gently without anyone noticing.

December arrived quietly.

The lingering autumnal charm under the warm sun was instantly replaced by the biting cold of December.

The moment Chen Yan stepped out in the early morning, he was startled by the biting cold air that rushed towards him.

It turns out that winter of 2013 had silently descended upon every corner of life overnight.

Today is December 1st, and the campus beauty pageant will end at noon tomorrow.

Jiang Muyun remains in first place on the list with 40959 votes, far ahead of the others.

The second place went to Zhong Shiyi from Yu Ying Academy, with 35002 votes.

The third place went to Ruan Yusang from the Communication University of China, with 34288 votes.

If all goes well, Jiang Muyun will win the first prize of 20 yuan in this competition.

However, the gap between the second and third place is not large, and it is hard to say whether the rankings will change by noon tomorrow.

After all, the prize money for second and third place is a full 50,000 yuan different!

Chen Yan had previously watched the registration videos of Zhong Shiyi and Ruan Yusang.

Zhong Shiyi uploaded a 60-second video of herself dancing to modern jazz. In the video, she is wearing a tight black tank top that shows her belly button.

Her lower body was paired with a super short skirt, which swayed up and down with her movements, and when she turned around, you could even vaguely see half of her buttocks.

Ruan Yusang uploaded a 40-second a cappella video, singing Xu Song's "Rain on Qingming Festival".

As dawn breaks through the window, the sun shines on the western bridge, and the clouds sway gently.
I remember the hem of your dress swaying gently in the breeze back then.

The wood carvings are gilded, reflecting the passage of time; I stopped writing seven years ago.

Because I will only wield my brush for you in this lifetime.
Raindrops wet my eyes; year after year I lean against the well, longing for your return.

With her broadcasting and hosting major, she already had a beautiful voice. Coupled with the elegant lyrics, listening to her sing this song felt like being transported into a delicate ink painting of Jiangnan.

To be honest, Chen Yan felt that Ruan Yusang's looks and temperament were much better than Zhong Shiyi's, but Zhong Shiyi's outfit was just too suggestive!

These days, there are no pretty girls on Douyin (TikTok) who flaunt their relationship. Even 4G networks aren't widespread yet. Chen Yan vaguely remembers that the government won't issue 4G licenses until the end of December.

and so.

Nowadays, most men, whether they're adults or already working, can't resist Zhong Shiyi dressed so provocatively and swaying around in front of them. In a moment of impulsiveness, they throw away all the tickets in their hands.
