Ice is not averse to deception

After Liu Qiang left, Sun Bing lost all interest in working and left the house in a daze.

Weak people are easily persuaded, and Sun Bing was in that state at the moment. He firmly believed that Liu Ruo was not the materialistic type of woman, but Liu Qiang's words made him fall into deep thought.

Why do good women often have to live a hard life?

Sun Bing didn't know how long she had walked, or even what she was thinking. When she looked up again, she found herself inexplicably in an alley near Wu Dayong's house.

Wu Dayong's family has a small courtyard, not very big, the house and yard together are only about 60 square meters. Since the Harbin urban redevelopment plan was launched, there have been many rumors about the relocation of the streets, but the relocation has not been implemented to this day.

When he was a child, Sun Bing often came here, and the laughter and joy in the alley seemed like yesterday.

But Sun Bing couldn't be happy at all at this moment.

After pausing for a moment, Sun Bing turned to leave. Just then, a familiar voice caught Sun Bing's attention; it was Wu Dayong.

Sun Bing subconsciously walked to the corner of the alley and saw Wu Dayong chatting with his neighbor, Aunt Zhang.

"Dayong, your aunt really needs to thank you. If it weren't for your help the year before last, your Uncle Zhang's pension would have been lost. You must accept these things; they are my token of appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Sun Bing noticed a large pile of things in front of Aunt Zhang. Although they weren't expensive, they were enough to express her feelings.

"It's nothing, just helping out. I'll accept the gift; please take it back to Uncle Zhang as a token of my appreciation."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was still trying to refuse, Wu Dayong immediately grabbed her hand and stuffed the gift back into her hands: "If you keep doing this, I'll get angry. We're neighbors, why are you being so distant? Besides, I've hardly been home these past few years, and you and Uncle Zhang have been taking care of my mother. If anyone should be giving a gift, it should be me giving you one."

Hearing this, Sun Bing felt a surge of relief.

To be honest, Wu Dayong is a very reliable person. He is not only successful in his career, but also so humane, which is rare.

Before Sun Bing could finish his reflection, Aunt Zhang suddenly spoke up: "Dayong, I know you're capable. Your younger brother Dazhi is getting married, and we're discussing where to buy a house. Can you give us some advice?"

Wu Dayong didn't mince words, "Any properties you're interested in?"

"One is Shengshi Jiayuan, and the other is Fangda International. Your brother thinks both are pretty good."

However, before Aunt Liang could finish speaking, Wu Dayong immediately shook his head: "Shengshi Jiayuan won't do. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's in the city center now. Harbin will definitely expand eastward in the future. Didn't Wandu Shopping Mall acquire land in the east? Buying in the east is definitely the right choice."

"Really?" Aunt Liang was still a little doubtful.

Wu Dayong said confidently, "Don't worry, Renmin University is known as the sub-center of the city. Would such a large shopping mall be built in a sparsely populated area? Besides, a small portion of people buy houses to live in, but most are for investment. The houses in Shengshi Jiayuan are good, but the prices are high, and there's not much room for appreciation in the future. The old city has already been renovated, so there's not much room for further development. Fangda International is not bad. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's an off-plan property; the location is a bit out of the way, but the price will definitely go up in a couple of years. If Aunt Liang is willing, I can contact the sales manager of Fangda International and try to get you an internal discount."

"real?!"

The same two words evoked completely different feelings. Aunt Liang was so excited she didn't know what to do, and immediately agreed: "Listen to Dayong, you have to keep an eye on the discount. I trust you."

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Wu Dayong was genuinely confident, not because he actually had such a powerful backer, but because Fangda International had been open for a long time and sales had been consistently poor. In addition, its location was not ideal, so even ordinary people could negotiate good discounts.

Besides, by doing this, Wu Dayong would essentially be helping the sales office attract customers, and he would also earn a decent commission. Why not?

Wu Dayong was like that; he was grateful to Aunt Zhang's family for helping him take care of his mother, but feelings were feelings and making money were money, and they couldn't be mixed up.

Sun Bing saw Wu Dayong's calculations as a display of business acumen. No wonder he drove a BMW and drove a Rolls-Royce, and could analyze the real estate market in Harbin so clearly in just a few words. No wonder he was successful!

Seeing Wu Dayong's "success," Sun Bing felt even more ashamed of himself.

Once upon a time, Wu Dayong was just a little fan of his, and even envied those who could become Zhang Defa's true disciples.

  

Everything has changed since then.

Unconsciously, Sun Bing sat on the stone bench at the entrance of the alley and lost in thought, his mind filled with childhood memories of him and Wu Dayong.

Wu Dayong was also busy.

After seeing Aunt Zhang off, Wu Dayong went straight to the Fangda International sales office. He did nothing but observe for a while and successfully resolved the issue of internal discounts on the apartments.

This might be difficult for ordinary people, but it was a piece of cake for Wu Dayong. Besides, he hadn't studied fraud psychology for nothing. It was the end of the month, and the Chinese New Year wasn't far off. Salespeople were under pressure to meet their targets, and he could easily tell who was under the most pressure with just a little observation.

The rest is easier to discuss; it's simply a matter of each party getting what they need.

The salesperson offered the most honest discount, and at worst gave Wu Dayong a larger commission. They maintained their commission rate by meeting the sales target, and everyone was happy.

Wu Dayong was no slouch either. He immediately invited Aunt Liang's family out for a detailed discussion, and even portrayed the salesperson as a high-class "Property Consultant Director." After a lot of boasting, Aunt Liang's family immediately felt they had gotten a great deal, and that very night they paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan and signed a purchase agreement.

It's not that Wu Dayong has any great abilities. He's been struggling in society for the past few years. Although he hasn't done anything legitimate, he's quite adept at making money through crooked means.

Sure enough, in less than half a day, Wu Dayong earned more than a thousand yuan in commission and won the respect of Aunt Liang's family.

Although this money was easy to earn, such a situation was rare. If the atmosphere hadn't been set up properly today, and if Wu Dayong hadn't been driving a BMW, Aunt Liang definitely wouldn't have paid the money and signed the contract so readily.

Therefore, Wu Dayong has always felt that trust is a wonderful thing, regardless of whether it is true or false.

When Wu Dayong finished his work, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. As he drove past the alley in front of his house, he saw Sun Bing sitting on a stone bench, looking like a stone statue.

Frowning, Wu Dayong parked his car and walked towards Sun Bing.

What Wu Dayong didn't know was that Sun Bing had already made a decision at this moment.

He didn't want to struggle anymore, nor did he want to find Bingyuan. Perhaps only by becoming despondent could Liu Ruo's departure seem reasonable.

Since you can't get out of this quagmire, you might as well push the person you love out of it; that would be a way of giving yourself closure.

"What's wrong? How much have you drunk? What's making you so happy?"

Looking at the pile of empty beer bottles next to him, Wu Dayong opened a bottle of beer and gulped down two mouthfuls. Suddenly, a scene from their childhood, where the two of them would sneak beer together at the alley entrance, flashed into his mind.

When he was a child, Wu Dayong often heard his mother threaten him, "If you dare to drink when you grow up, I'll beat you to death, you little rascal!" But when he was tall enough to reach the table, Wu Dayong started to toast his elders, learning traditional drinking culture at his mother's urging.

When he was twenty, Wu's mother poured Wu Dayong a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor) for the first time, saying, "How can a man be considered a man if he doesn't drink?"

Strangely enough, every time Aunt Wu called two years ago, she would remind her, "Drink less alcohol, it's bad for your health."

See? Humans are such strange creatures.

"Dayong, I don't want to look for Bingyuan anymore. I've made up my mind. From now on, I'm a member of the Degenerate Alliance. To hell with this life, I'm not putting up with it anymore."

It was only after this that Wu Dayong realized that Sun Bing had been hurt.

Upon reflection, I was greatly alarmed.

How can this be allowed?

If you don't contact Bingyuan, how am I supposed to get that deposit of over ten thousand? Isn't that ridiculous?

Seeing Sun Bing completely dejected and somewhat dazed, Wu Dayong gritted his teeth and stamped his foot...

He took out the book on fraud psychology from his bag. At this crucial moment, he had to make Sun Bing, his cash cow, stand up again.

"What exactly happened? Tell me, brother."

Seeing that Sun Bing had her head down, Wu Dayong openly flipped through a book on fraud psychology while learning about Sun Bing's situation.

Sun Bing truly trusted Wu Dayong, telling him everything he should and shouldn't have told him, even about the flower-delivering man.

Wu Dayong was still very nervous; no matter what, this matter couldn't be stopped.

Coincidentally, Wu Dayong happened to see a sentence in the book at that moment: "Dignity is the thing a man can never give up, and it is also the thing he will never give up."

Okay, that's the trick!
