Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Huang Xiaoxiao sat in the back, her arms around Ding Yang's waist. Suddenly, she felt her heart racing. What was wrong with her? Could it be that she couldn't move her legs when she saw a handsome guy?

Not long after, we came to a large residential area along the road. The buildings were new, but the storefronts in front were mostly empty, and the location was somewhat out of the way.

"Stop, right here."

Ding Yang stopped his motorcycle.

We arrived at a storefront with a sign hanging above the entrance.

"Laughing Real Estate Agent!"

The walls were covered with graffiti-like GG phrases:

Rentals | Real Estate | Shops | Factories | Job Recruitment | Housing Search | Property Transfer | Consulting | Self-Built House Construction, Sand, Gravel, Cement, Decoration – One-Stop Service…

The most eye-catching part is actually the house renovation.

"Sister, you're like an encyclopedia of real estate agents! You take on any job imaginable?"

"Hey, that's how it is for real estate agents in Chang'an. I used to work for others too, but now I'm self-employed. It's better than working for someone else, and I have more freedom."

Lin Xiaoxiao opened the storefront's roller shutter door, and there was actually a glass door inside, covered with all sorts of GG slang—it was practically a nuisance.

Stepping inside, the room was about 20 square meters, quite spacious. It was painted white and still smelled of cement. There were no floor tiles; it looked like a layer of floor paint had been scraped off.

A somewhat cheap-looking sofa, an office desk with an old computer on it, and a separate bathroom in the back.

"Sister, how much did you pay for renting this storefront?"

"500 a month isn't expensive. I did all the renovations myself, and it cost several thousand."

"Sis, don't you usually stay here?"

"No, I've only had this shop for a little over a month. I live in Shatou, and I haven't vacated my apartment yet, but I plan to move here soon."

"This is a new residential area, and not many residents have moved in yet. I rented here mainly to take on some renovation work."

"You make money by taking on a renovation project and then introducing it to a renovation company. You can earn 1 yuan per project."

"oh!"

"Sis, where's your husband?"

"Dead!"

"what……"

"He drives a big truck at the factory and flirts with the young girls there. I'm going through a divorce with him, it's practically the same as being dead."

"Sister, there are usually more women than men in the factory, so it's inevitable that they'll make mistakes sometimes. Just turn a blind eye, why make a fuss about getting a divorce?"

"I used to turn a blind eye to his prostitution, but this time he actually got a young girl pregnant."

Holy crap!

"Was the baby born?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I'm ignoring him now, and I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Sister, do you have children?"

"There is a boy who is 6 years old and goes to school in his hometown. His grandparents take care of him. His grandfather is a primary school teacher and has not yet retired."

"oh!"

"Xiaoyang, since you're willing to give it a try, then work for me for a few days. I have some things to do, so I have to go now."

"I'll give you a key to this room. You can sleep on this sofa. There's a bathroom in the back, so it's convenient to take a shower. You can buy your meals outside."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Xiaoyang, you can rest for a bit. I'll be going now and come back this afternoon. When you have some free time, go for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding area. Some of the residential areas here are under renovation, you can go and take a look."

"To be a real estate agent, you need to be quick-witted and thick-skinned. Don't be afraid of losing face. Our goal is to make money. If people ignore you, you've just wasted a few words."

"If you're thin-skinned, you can't do this job. Don't be afraid of being scolded or criticized."

"Just think of it as me doing this to make money, and you'll get through it."

"Don't be afraid of rejection. Nine out of ten people will reject you, but if you succeed with just one, you've already succeeded."

"In short, you have to be thick-skinned, daring to run, daring to speak, and daring to pester. That's the entry requirement. If you can't let go of your pride, you can't do this job."

"Don't worry, sister, I can adapt!"

"Okay, you can rest now. I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."

"good!"

After Huang Xiaoxiao left, Ding Yang sat on the sofa for a while to rest before going outside for a stroll.

At that moment, a six-wheeled dump truck, loaded with floor tiles and some cement in front, was parked on the side of the road at the entrance. The truck was so full that the tires were almost flattened.

The driver opened the window and shouted:

"Little one, smile..."

Ding Yang immediately rushed over.

The driver was an older man in his fifties, with dark skin, a slightly upturned chin, and a bit overweight; he looked like a local indigenous person.

"Hello, Xiaoxiao has gone out."

"Who's tired?"

"Oh, I'm his cousin. I just arrived today. You can tell me anything you need."

The man's attitude noticeably improved when he heard that Ding Yang was Huang Xiaoxiao's cousin.

"My cousin is exhausted. I came here specifically to ask her to recommend two workers so she can earn some referral fees."

The man's Mandarin was not standard, and Ding Yang almost couldn't understand him.

Ding Yang looked into the carriage and saw that the floor tiles were still covered in cement.

"Boss, how many are there? Want to carry them upstairs?"

"I've answered the question on the 5th floor. I'll find someone else now."

Ding Yang immediately took out a cigarette and handed one to the man.

The man took the cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Boss, how much is this? Can I help you with it?"

"Hey buddy, are you kidding me? This job is really heavy, can you handle it?"

"It's nothing, I used to work on construction sites all the time, it's nothing."

"30 bags of cement, 30 sets of floor tiles, is that enough, Lei?"

"This is a really boring question."

"Yes, Lei, get in the car."

"Please wait a moment, I'll close the door."

Ding Yang pulled down the roller shutter door and then climbed into the passenger seat.

It's just a few hundred meters from the corner of the residential area, across a street.

This is an old house; it must have been renovated or something.

"Handsome, are you all alone?"

"Don't worry, I can finish it quickly by myself."

After parking the car, Ding Yang gave him another cigarette.

"Boss, how much does it cost to carry this up to the 5th floor?"

"The prices are the same as always: cement is 4 yuan a bag, and floor tiles are 4 yuan a piece. I'm Xiaoxiao's good friend, I'm not making any money off you. Are you willing to take this job?"

"Don't worry!"

As soon as the truck came to a stop, Ding Yang got out and prepared to unload the cargo.

"Handsome, you can just remove the floor tiles, I'll pour out the cement myself."

"good!"

Ding Yang was a big guy with great strength. He carried three 800x800 floor tiles, which weighed about 50 kilograms, about the same as a bag of cement.

Ding Yang immediately unloaded the truck and took 30 pieces of floor tiles downstairs. The unloading was completed in just over ten minutes.

The driver opened the hydraulic tipper and threw 30 bags of cement on the ground.

"Handsome, carry it up to the 5th floor. I'm leaving now. The boss will pay you later."

"oh!"
