Chapter 1 Tian Mo's Trepidation

Tian Mo entered President Pei's office, feeling lost and overwhelmed.

Pei Qian gestured towards the sofa beside him. "Don't be so reserved. Have a seat."

"Would you like some tea?"

Tian Mo flustered slightly. "Thank you, ah, no need..."

Pei Qian smiled, poured two cups of tea, handed one to him, and then sat down on the single sofa next to him.

"Time is precious. Let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point."

"To be honest, I have a sales job I'd like to offer you."

Pei Qian checked the time. He wanted to leave work before five o'clock, so this conversation needed to be efficient.

Talking about this in the President's office of Tengda Group, Tian Mo shouldn't have any more doubts, right?

Tian Mo was flattered. "Ah? Sales?"

"This... I, I don't really have much sales experience. If I had to force it, I'd say I tried being a real estate agent for a month before..."

Pei Qian raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How did that go?"

"The result..." Tian Mo was a little embarrassed but chose to be honest. "The result was that I didn't rent out many apartments in a month, and I didn't get a single cent of commission..."

Pei Qian's expression became slightly concerned. "Didn't rent out many... How many exactly?"

Tian Mo said, "...Two."

"One was because a recent graduate was in a hurry to rent an apartment, and the apartment was very suitable, so I rented it without saying anything; the other was because an older sister in the store who had a good personality felt sorry for me and gave me a deal..."

Pei Qian was filled with respect. "Well, not bad."

He knew he hadn't misjudged him.

Tian Mo: "Ah? Is that still considered good?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly. "To be honest, the various departments of Tengda Group are different from the outside world in some ways. Especially the sales department. What I want isn't experienced, glib-tongued salespeople, but someone with a unique set of evaluation criteria."

"I think you're very suitable!"

"So you don't need to worry too much. I've already seen the potential I need in you. As long as you can bring out this potential, there will definitely be no problem."

"Ah? Is that so?" Tian Mo's expression was still doubtful.

In fact, President Pei's words already sounded quite outrageous. If someone else had said them, you could basically be 100% sure that they were a swindler. But this was, after all, in the President's office of Tengda, so no matter how outrageous the words were, they now had a bit of truth to them.

"Absolutely." Pei Qian wore a very confident expression.

Tian Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "President Pei, to be honest, I'm not very good at sales. You know my speaking skills. It would be good if I didn't scare away customers. But since you think so highly of me, I'm willing to give it a try!"

"Um... will someone mentor me?"

Tian Mo was obviously still not very confident, thinking that if there was a master willing to mentor him, he could practice slowly, and maybe things would improve later.

"Yes." Pei Qian pointed to himself, "I'll mentor you."

"Ah?"

Tian Mo was dizzy.

A sales job, personally mentored by President Pei?

What virtues and abilities did he possess?

"President Pei, there's really no need for that, right? You can just have the head of the sales department, or even a team leader below them, mentor me. Your time is valuable, it's not necessary to do something like this..."

Pei Qian shook his head. "No, it's very necessary."

Would this sales department become a department that made Tengda more money, or would it become a department that made Tengda less money?

It still wasn't certain.

It depended on how well Tian Mo did as the head of the department.

And Tian Mo could be said to be a blank slate. Pei Qian felt that it was necessary to take some time to guide him well so as to set a good tone for the sales department.

Seeing that President Pei's attitude was firm, Tian Mo didn't ask any more questions, and his expression was very excited. "Okay, then President Pei, rest assured, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"

Pei Qian got up and took a contract from a drawer in his desk. "If there are no problems, let's sign the contract."

"The key is the salary."

Tian Mo nodded. There was a lot of content in this contract. He had to read it slowly. The salary information would be towards the end.

However, Tian Mo could basically guess the general salary situation. It must be a low base salary + high commission model. Although Tian Mo himself didn't like this salary structure, because he knew that with his ability, he was probably only able to earn the base salary, he was also very clear in his heart that there was no other way.

Because sales was indeed a profession that only looked at results and not at the process. The number of deals you signed represented your ability. If you didn't put the bulk of the salary on commission, it would easily lead to a group of lazy people, and you wouldn't be able to motivate them.

Although Tian Mo was introverted and had poor speaking skills, he felt that since President Pei was personally mentoring him, as long as he studied hard for a period of time, his speaking skills would always improve significantly, right? Then he wouldn't be afraid of not getting a commission.

The front was some more basic content, which should be similar to the labor contracts of various departments of Tengda, stipulating the basic obligations and benefits of employees.

Especially the benefits part, which made Tian Mo's mouth water.

But soon, the part of the contract that surprised him the most came.

"The position is... Head of the Sales Department?"

"The salary is... 8,000 per month plus various company benefits?"

"Uh, no commission?"

Tian Mo was a little confused, wondering if he was seeing things.

The head of the sales department, also known as the sales manager, and there would be no problem calling him General X, this was definitely considered a leadership position.

As for the salary, it could only be said that it was far beyond his imagination.

When he was handing out flyers on the street, he would work hard for thirty days and only get a little over two thousand. Now he could rest on all legal holidays and still get 8,000 plus various company benefits. This daily salary was probably at least five times higher.

Pei Qian explained, "If you do a good job later, the salary will increase again."

8,000 per month was already the highest level allowed by the system at the moment.

Although Tian Mo's actual ability might be far from worth 8,000, with the rapid development of Tengda Group, the system's restrictions on base salaries were also becoming more and more relaxed, and Pei Qian had more and more room to maneuver.

Tian Mo was even more confused, because this was completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that his position would be a small fry at the bottom of the sales department, but it turned out to be the head of the sales department?

He originally thought it would be a base salary + commission model, and it would be good if the base salary was one thousand, but the base salary turned out to be as high as eight thousand, and there was no mention of commission at all?

This made Tian Mo a little overwhelmed.

"Any problems? If not, sign it. It's getting late."

Pei Qian looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work.

Tian Mo: "There's definitely no problem with the contract, but I'm afraid of my ability..."

"There's no problem with your ability. If you're satisfied with the treatment, sign it, you don't have to worry about anything else." Pei Qian smiled.

Tian Mo hesitated for a moment, but President Pei's trusting eyes made him feel at ease.

Thinking about it carefully, it was a stroke of luck that he could encounter such a good thing. What if he was coy and President Pei got angry? He wouldn't have another chance.

Thinking of this, Tian Mo quickly signed his name on the contract, fearing that President Pei would change his mind.

"Alright, I'll take you to see the office location, and then you can come to me for reporting directly tomorrow. I'll briefly arrange your work content." Pei Qian stood up.

Pei Qian led Tian Mo all the way to the Advertising and Marketing Department.

When renting the place for the Advertising and Marketing Department, he had reserved a lot of extra space in advance, but the Advertising and Marketing Department didn't need so much space, and there were still many empty workstations.

It was just right to arrange the Sales Department here as well, to accompany the Advertising and Marketing Department.

Of course, they couldn't sit together directly. They had to be separated slightly to prevent some inexplicable chemical reactions from occurring.

Pei Qian casually picked a location. "Okay, you can just stay here."

This location was by the window, with a good view, and it was the furthest from the Advertising and Marketing Department. There were at least a dozen empty workstations around it. Such a large area was enough to toss around for a short period of time.

Moreover, Pei Qian didn't plan to bring in new employees to the Sales Department soon. He had to train Tian Mo first and determine the tone of the entire Sales Department so that it wouldn't go astray.

Tian Mo was stunned. "Ah? Just here?"

When he first arrived, he was quite happy to see so many people in the Advertising and Marketing Department working hard, a harmonious scene, and he fantasized about being able to integrate into them and become one of them.

As a result, President Pei directly led him to a "deserted island," wasn't that a bit much?

The scenery was indeed good, but the location of this workstation was obviously separated from everyone over there. People who didn't know might think that he had some kind of infectious disease, right?

Pei Qian looked at his watch. "Alright, it's almost time. Familiarize yourself with the environment here a little bit. Tomorrow at ten in the morning, come to my office first. I'll briefly tell you about the work arrangements, and then come here to officially start work."

With everything arranged, Pei Qian turned and left.

Tian Mo sat down at the workstation, feeling a little lost, not knowing what he should do.

He turned on the computer, and the screen was full of games. There were only a few basic office software programs that came with the computer. He had to download the others himself.

Tian Mo scratched his head, not daring to play games, but opened a new document instead.

He thought about it. He was also entrusted with an important task by President Pei. Today was his first day at work. Although President Pei didn't arrange any tasks, he couldn't really do nothing, right? Wouldn't that leave President Pei with the impression of a lazy dog?

But looking at the blank document, Tian Mo felt clueless again.

Suddenly, he thought of the older sister in the real estate agency who had helped him before, so he immediately made a phone call.

A few minutes later, Tian Mo received a few files.

These included some of the daily work arrangements, work content, rules, etc. of sales. It wasn't confidential information, of course, and it didn't have any technical content.

But for Tian Mo now, it was still very useful.

He planned to create a document to sort out these contents, pick out some useful content, and summarize it in a new document so that he wouldn't be speechless and unable to say anything when he saw President Pei again tomorrow.

As a result, before he could type two words in the newly created document, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

"Hm?"

Tian Mo turned his head blankly and saw a young man who seemed to be a few years older than him.

"Hello, new colleague?" the person who patted his shoulder asked.

Tian Mo nodded. "You are?"

The person who patted his shoulder smiled. "Oh, I'm Yu Yao, and I work in the Advertising and Marketing Department next door."

Tian Mo quickly said, "Oh, I'm Tian Mo, it's my first day at work today. Hello, hello."

Yu Yao smiled. "I knew you were new, you don't know the rules. It's almost time to get off work, why are you still here? Do you have overtime quota?"

"Ah? Overtime quota?" Tian Mo felt like he was listening to heavenly scriptures. He knew what these two words meant, but when they were connected together, it was completely incomprehensible.

"If you don't have an overtime quota, hurry home. Come back to work on anything tomorrow."

"What are you still sitting here for? Hurry up, they're about to lock the door."

Tian Mo was a little overwhelmed. "No, I just got here... Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

Even after leaving the Shenhua Haojing Building, Tian Mo still felt a little confused.

Today was really strange enough to completely subvert his life experiences of the past ten years.

Although he was interrupted after just starting the document, Tian Mo thought about it. He wasn't going to see President Pei until ten o'clock tomorrow, so he still had some time to sort out this document.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest well today, adjust my condition tomorrow, and work hard!"
