Chapter 71: Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose

Li Zihao thought he had misheard and asked again in disbelief, "You mean Chen Yuanzhou signed six deals this month??? And he gave you three???"

"Yes!" Mo Dongyan replied, head held high, a proud look on her face.

Li Zihao was immediately terrified!

He found it hard to believe that Chen Yuanzhou had signed three deals in a month when he learned that morning, but it was still within a reasonable range, and it wasn't impossible if he was lucky.

Six orders in one month??

This was completely beyond Li Zihao's comprehension!

He thought to himself, if he hadn't sent three orders to Mo Dongyan, wouldn't Chen Yuanzhou have been the top seller this month?

Thinking of this, Li Zihao, who was always very confident in himself, felt a surge of competitive spirit. He even temporarily put aside his desire for Mo Dongyan and went into the archives instead.

Signed contracts need to be kept on file. The contracts signed today were still on the table and hadn't been organized, so he easily saw the relevant information filled in on those file folders.

Initially, Li Zihao wanted to see how much service fee he had collected for these orders and whether he had set a new performance record.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked into it; once I did, I discovered that the service fee Chen Yuanzhou charged was a bit strange…

In the morning, he mocked Chen Yuanzhou for only charging 5000 for the first order, but charging 2% for consulting services for the second order.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that, apart from the two orders with the highest total price, which had abnormally low service fees, all other orders charged full commission.

This difference gave Li Zihao a vague idea, but he wasn't sure.

Just then, Chen Yuanzhou finished arranging for the client and landlord to come up and print the contract, so he followed them into the printing room.

"Chen Yuanzhou~" Li Zihao called out.

Chen Yuanzhou glanced at him: "What's up?"

"Uh...hey..." Li Zihao chuckled ingratiatingly, then asked softly, "I just checked, and the service fees for the two townhouses you're selling are quite low..."

"Did you agree to this with the client and take the money privately?"

Chen Yuanzhou frowned instantly, scrutinizing Li Zihao with a wary gaze.

He thought to himself that Li Zihao was indeed quite shrewd to be able to maintain such a high level of performance; he could even guess the truth just by looking at him.

But this is such a sensitive matter. What is he planning to do by asking this question now?

Did you really think I'd be stupid enough to tell him?

"Don't misunderstand!" Seeing Chen Yuanzhou's hostile expression, Li Zihao quickly said, "I've done it too. I was just curious..."

"Heh~" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled lightly, then said in a cold voice, "You'd better mind your own business and stop making trouble for each other."

Upon hearing this, Li Zihao knew that Chen Yuanzhou had tacitly agreed, and he did some quick mental calculations.

If his guess is correct, then Chen Yuanzhou's income this month could very well exceed 10...

Nima!

The arrogant Li Zihao was completely flustered!

We lost, we lost to a newcomer…

Li Zihao didn't say anything more, but turned and left silently with a shocked expression.

His appearance puzzled Chen Yuanzhou, who couldn't understand what he was up to.

Just as Li Zihao stepped out the door, he suddenly turned back to Chen Yuanzhou and said, "Chen Yuanzhou, let's have a sales competition next month!"

"Huh?" Chen Yuanzhou was completely bewildered by his question. "What do you mean?"

"I just want to know how strong you are!" Li Zihao said seriously.

Chen Yuanzhou looked at him and chuckled, "Are you crazy?"

After saying that, Chen Yuanzhou quickly left. He now really felt that Li Zihao's brain circuits might be a bit off...

……

With Mo Dongyan's help, Chen Yuanzhou no longer needed to run around printing, and the efficiency of signing contracts was much higher. He finished a deal in about half an hour.

Li Zihao in the next cubicle was in a worse situation. Chen Yuanzhou found it amusing to watch him being driven to the brink of collapse by the client and landlord's nitpicking. Then, remembering Li Zihao's childish and immature remarks, he couldn't stop laughing.

Li Zihao seems to be a simpleton?

After seeing off this group of clients and landlords, Chen Yuanzhou noticed that the appointment time for the next group hadn't arrived yet, so he lit a cigarette outside the door and began to ponder...

The next client is Xu Zenghui, and the landlord is Zhai Hao.

When they signed the contract, Chen Yuanzhou felt that something was off about the two people, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he was a little worried.

Just then, Xu Zenghui and Zhai Hao appeared at the roadside as if they had agreed beforehand…

Chen Yuanzhou was somewhat surprised, wondering if clients and landlords were so punctual these days? They actually arrived more than 20 minutes early?

Both of them saw Chen Yuanzhou standing outside the door and walked towards him at the same time.

When they all arrived, they realized that this was the other party they were dealing with today. They exchanged polite greetings and then followed Chen Yuanzhou inside.

After the two men sat down, Chen Yuanzhou said, "Please give me your identification documents; I need to verify them before signing the contract."

"Uh~"

The two paused simultaneously, then somewhat awkwardly began to take out their identification documents, which they then handed to Chen Yuanzhou…

ID card, household registration book, divorce certificate, divorce agreement.

Chen Yuanzhou was somewhat surprised when he saw that the two of them had pulled out their divorce certificates.

He subconsciously flipped through it, and as soon as he touched the texture of the paper, his heart skipped a beat!

fake!

And both of them are fake!

He examined the binding and stamp carefully again, and confirmed that it was fake!

Faced with this situation, Chen Yuanzhou looked at the two suspiciously and noticed that they both seemed a little guilty, pretending to play with their phones...

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Yuanzhou smiled and placed the two divorce certificates back in front of them.

"..."

"..."

The two of them stiffened at the same time, looking at Chen Yuanzhou with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao..." Chen Yuanzhou lowered his voice and leaned down, saying, "Isn't this a bit off?"

Xu Zenghui and Zhai Hao looked embarrassed and exchanged glances. Neither of them expected that the other would be using a fake certificate to sign the contract, just like them.

Chen Yuanzhou waved to them, led them to the corner cubicle, and then said seriously, "Gentlemen, you must tell me the truth about your specific situations!"

"I'm your agent, not an official representative... This shuffling around is disrespectful and harmful to me!"

"If something happens, it might cost me my job!"

After Chen Yuanzhou finished speaking, he stared at the two of them with a stern face, crossed his arms, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Xu Zenghui hesitated for a moment, then said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Well, how should I put it, my wife and I have never had a good relationship, and we might get divorced at any time, so..."

Chen Yuanzhou didn't react after hearing this, and instead looked at Zhai Hao.

Zhai Hao also said awkwardly, "I actually bought that house behind my wife's back... Although we're not divorced yet, we've been separated for a long time."

"Manager Chen, please help me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou snorted: "How can I help with this kind of favor? If I get caught, my agent's license might be revoked, and I won't be able to find a job in the future."

"Why would I risk my future to help you for no reason?"

"Ah~"

"This~"

Seeing Chen Yuanzhou's righteous and stern demeanor, the two men became somewhat at a loss.

Chen Yuanzhou sneered inwardly!

He had done similar things countless times for those big-shot clients in his past life.

How could he instantly tell if the document was faulty? Because he always had it made by someone else himself, so he was extremely familiar with it!

But being able to do it is one thing, and why to do it is another...

The saying "pluck a feather from a passing goose" is a basic practice in this industry.

Seeing that the two of them were a bit clueless, Chen Yuanzhou continued with a straight face: "Gentlemen, I'm just an employee. It seems like I've collected a lot of service fees, but in reality, not much of it actually ends up in my hands."

"I can't possibly earn the money of selling cabbages while worrying about selling contraband, can I?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even if Xu Zenghui and Zhai Hao were stupid, they would understand what Chen Yuanzhou meant.

Xu Zenghui was naturally good at scheming, and although he understood, he was still somewhat reluctant to part with it.

Zhai Hao was more straightforward, saying simply, "Manager Chen, if you help me get this sorted out, I'll give you another 20,000 yuan privately!"

Seeing that he had already set a price, Xu Zenghui had no choice but to follow suit: "Yes, I'll give you another 20,000!"

"Heh~" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled disdainfully, then picked up the two fake certificates again and examined them: "This matter is not as simple as you think."

"Any real estate agency that signs contracts is officially registered, and if problems arise, everyone involved will be held accountable."

"So it's not just me; the clerks also have to verify the documents. They've handled hundreds, even thousands, of these documents. How could they not spot a problem?"

"I still need to smooth things over with them..."

As Chen Yuanzhou spoke, he secretly chuckled to himself.

The reason why these relevant documents are required when signing a contract is that the official systems of various companies are not connected to the network, making it impossible to directly access and review the documents.

In reality, what was ultimately submitted was nothing more than a black and white copy, making it impossible to trace.

Therefore, the use of fake documents in transactions is not uncommon at present, so intermediary companies turn a blind eye and do not take the initiative to correct the problem.

As for the already virtually zero risk, it has already been mitigated in the agency agreement.

Asking questions is a personal matter; they don't know anything about it.

This phenomenon was not completely eradicated until 2016 when the two official systems were connected.

Chen Yuanzhou knew about these things, but Xu Zenghui and Zhai Hao were unaware of them.

The two, who thought themselves clever, had already done something wrong, and now, just hearing this alarmist talk made them panic.

Seeing that the two of them looked completely lost and didn't know what to do, Chen Yuanzhou knew he couldn't be too harsh, otherwise they might just decide to terminate the contract without taking responsibility, and all his efforts would be wasted.

"At least thirty thousand!" Chen Yuanzhou said decisively, "Give me another thirty thousand each, and I'll consider taking the risk for you!"
