Chapter 234 - Summer Knows Autumn

After speaking, she gave an honest smile and said, "Actually, when it comes to selling houses, our branch can only manage to sell a few units a month at most. It's not easy to close a deal. But I recently handled two rental clients, so I guess I did manage to open some deals."

Jiang Cheng smiled. "Renting is good too. The client and the landlord must give you a month's rent as a referral fee, right?"

Bringing this up, Little Xia nodded happily. "That's right, you know all this? For rentals, the owner and the customer each pay half a month's rent to our agency. I brought in two clients this month. One rent was 3,000 yuan, and I got a 300 yuan commission; the remaining 2,700 went to the company. The other was a single room for 1,000 yuan, and I got 100 yuan from that."

Seeing Little Xia look rather proud, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt an indescribable, choked-up feeling in his heart.

Judging by Little Xia's words and actions, it was clear she came from an ordinary family background.

What made Jiang Cheng feel uncomfortable wasn't her family background.

Rather, it was her contentment over just a few hundred yuan that deeply moved Jiang Cheng.

He had never worried about money since he was young.

Even before he obtained the tycoon system.

Jiang Jianming and Li Yan had never let him suffer over money.

Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded. "That's pretty impressive."

Seeing Jiang Cheng praise her, Little Xia immediately beamed happily.

"I'm still at the bottom of the company rankings, but I will continue to work hard."

Just then, a Starbucks employee walked over with a Vanilla Frappuccino and said to Jiang Cheng, "Hello, here is the Vanilla Frappuccino you ordered."

Jiang Cheng nodded, then handed the Vanilla Frappuccino on the table to Little Xia.

"Drink it. This one isn't bitter."

Seeing that it was for her, Little Xia immediately waved her hand in refusal.

"This... you drink it. I'm not thirsty."

"Drink it, it's sweet. I won't drink it; I bought it for you. If you don't drink it, it will go to waste."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng inserted the straw and handed it to Little Xia.

Sure enough, just as Jiang Cheng expected, after he mentioned the word "waste," Little Xia's expression became conflicted.

After all, this cost dozens of yuan, not just a few. Not drinking it truly would be a waste.

She stared at the Vanilla Frappuccino in Jiang Cheng's hand, and after a moment of struggle, she carefully took it.

She then whispered, "Thank you. I should be the one treating you."

She lowered her head and slowly tried to act natural as she carefully took a sip.

After she took one sip, Jiang Cheng saw Little Xia's eyes seem to brighten, and then he watched her slowly take another draw from the straw.

Her expression was exactly like that of a left-behind child in the mountains tasting delicious candy for the very first time.

This sight caused Jiang Cheng's brow to furrow again.

Although he didn't feel romantic attraction toward Xia Zhiqiu.

This simple and pure girl still couldn't help but stir a trace of compassion in Jiang Cheng.

"Ding! Detecting a wave of goodwill in the Host's heart. Special mission issued: Transform Little Xia, enhance her self-confidence. The Host will be rewarded with Charm Point +1, and Physical Constitution +5."

Jiang Cheng was somewhat surprised to see a system mission appear after such a long time.

However, the reward this time was Physical Constitution +5, which was quite good.

Jiang Cheng no longer cared as much about improving his Charm.

He understood now: having money meant having charm.

Look at Father Ma, is he handsome?

The answer is definitely no.

But due to his special status, he has long surpassed people's definition of handsomeness.

However, the Constitution Point reward was something Jiang Cheng really wanted.

One must understand that the richer you are, the more you want a healthy body.

Otherwise, what's the use of having all that money if you don't have the life to spend it?

Speaking of Father Ma, one can't help but mention his son.

A man as wealthy as him couldn't save his son, proving that health truly cannot be bought with money.

Illness truly is an equalizer for everyone.

Jiang Cheng was determined to obtain these five Constitution Points.

But how should he improve Little Xia's self-confidence?

While Jiang Cheng was pondering, the Transportation Team contacted him, saying they had resolved the license plate issue.

And they had safely unloaded the car for Jiang Cheng.

The car was now parked in the mall's underground parking lot.

All that remained was for Jiang Cheng to come over and confirm the car's condition.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said to Little Xia, "Could you do me a favor? School is starting soon, and I want to buy some things. Will you come shopping with me?"

Little Xia looked at Jiang Cheng with some surprise. Although she wanted to go, she remembered that she had never attended university.

She felt she wouldn't be able to help Jiang Cheng with this favor.

"This... I can go, but I don't really know much about the things you mentioned, and my taste is very ordinary."

Seeing Little Xia immediately deny herself, Jiang Cheng smiled and did not criticize her.

"I think you're fine."

Little Xia hesitated for a moment, then looked around again. "Alright, I'll send a text message first to tell them I'm going elsewhere to hand out flyers."

After watching her finish sending the message, Jiang Cheng stood up. "Let's go. We'll head to the underground parking lot first."

"Okay, please wait for a moment while I finish drinking this," Little Xia said sheepishly, pointing to the Vanilla Frappuccino Jiang Cheng had bought her.

At a price of over forty yuan for one Frappuccino, Little Xia truly couldn't bear to waste it.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't pay attention to her.

And wasn't specifically focused on her, she couldn't help but relax.
