Outside the restroom.
Gu Chenan sat in a chair waiting for Su Qianmo.
At the same time, he was imagining a blissful life where all the female protagonists had traveled through time to be with him.
Admittedly, this kind of harem scenario made Gu Chenan feel a bit excited just thinking about it.
However, he was also worrying about one issue.
What about the women's identities?
In the real world, there were things like ID cards, and strictly speaking, Su Qianmo was currently an undocumented resident!
It would be fine if it went unnoticed, but once discovered, it would be impossible to explain.
Gu Chenan couldn't exactly say that Su Qianmo had traveled through time, could he?
If he really said that, he'd be dragged off to Anding Hospital for sedatives on the spot.
"Looks like the first thing to do after the background loads is to sort out Su Qianmo's identity," Gu Chenan muttered, rubbing his face.
"Gu Chenan?"
Just then, a salesman with slicked-back hair and a name tag walked out of the restroom.
Gu Chenan turned to look and immediately recognized him.
It was his high school classmate, Zhang Fan.
"Zhang Fan, what are you doing here?" Gu Chenan stood up to greet him.
Zhang Fan flashed the work badge on his chest and said, "I work here. I should be asking you that question."
As he spoke, Zhang Fan noticed the recruitment notice at the door and immediately smiled, "You're here for an interview, right?"
"No..."
Gu Chenan was about to speak, but Zhang Fan interrupted, "How come you, who always stays at home playing games, are now looking for a job?"
"By the way, you haven't done sales before, right?"
"But don't worry, I'm a senior employee here. With just a word from me, you could start working tomorrow."
Zhang Fan nodded smugly, "How about that? Doesn't this deserve treating me to a meal?"
Gu Chenan awkwardly scratched his face, "I'm not here for a job interview..."
"Huh?"
Zhang Fan was stunned, but then smiled knowingly.
He and Gu Chenan were indeed high school classmates, but Zhang Fan had dropped out in his senior year due to the pressure of college entrance exams, while Gu Chenan had gone on to university.
So in Zhang Fan's view, Gu Chenan really was here for an interview, but was denying it because of Zhang Fan's presence.
The reason for this, he thought, was Gu Chenan's pride.
What's wrong with being a college graduate?
Does having a college degree make you too proud to do the same job as a high school dropout like me?
Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Don't be embarrassed. I know you haven't found a suitable job since graduating from college. Our commission here is pretty good. Come and give it a try. It doesn't matter if you haven't done it before. What are you afraid of with me here? I'll teach you!"
Zhang Fan looked sincere.
But the more he spoke like this, the more uncomfortable Gu Chenan felt.
"No, really, I'm not here for an interview," Gu Chenan spread his hands.
"If you're not here for an interview, what are you here for? Don't tell me you're here to buy a villa?"
As he spoke, Zhang Fan put an arm around Gu Chenan and whispered, "Let me tell you, we have a lot of female sales staff here. You're still single, right? If you come work here, with your looks, wouldn't it be easy to chase one of them?"
It's no wonder Zhang Fan thought this way. In the eyes of Gu Chenan's high school and college classmates, he had always been a shut-in who stayed at home playing games.
Who would believe that a jobless shut-in would come to a villa district to buy a villa?
"Uh..."
Zhang Fan's words left Gu Chenan speechless. He said helplessly, "I appreciate your good intentions, but I really am not here for an interview."
Zhang Fan was stunned and put on an exaggerated expression, "No way, don't tell me you're really here to buy a villa. Do you know how much the cheapest villa here costs?"
As he spoke, he held up one finger and said, "Ten million yuan!"
"Sigh."
Gu Chenan frowned and said, "I originally wanted to interact with you as a normal person... forget it, I'm not pretending anymore. I'll come clean. I really am here to buy a villa."
Silence!
Zhang Fan was stunned, his expression slowly stiffening, and then...
"Hahaha, you've been watching too many movies."
"Aren't you still single? Tell you what... if you can buy a villa, I'll give you my backside for the rest of my life!"
As he spoke, Zhang Fan patted Gu Chenan's shoulder, "Alright, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. I have work to do."
"Don't rush," Gu Chenan called out to Zhang Fan.
"What is it?" Zhang Fan turned back.
Gu Chenan pointed at the sand table model in the center of the sales office, "Aren't you going to show me, a customer, the model?"
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes, looking at the sand table and then at Gu Chenan.
He couldn't really be...
No, impossible!
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "I'm not joking with you, I really am busy."
As he spoke, Zhang Fan's eyes suddenly widened, as if his whole body had been electrified.
The next moment, he quickly walked up to Gu Chenan and whispered, "Damn, turn around quickly."
Gu Chenan was a bit confused but still turned to look. He saw Su Qianmo combing her hair in front of the mirror by the wash basin.
"Wow, that woman is seriously hot!" Zhang Fan exclaimed.
"Right? I think so too," Gu Chenan nodded.
Zhang Fan patted Gu Chenan's shoulder and said, "See how good our work environment is? Not only do we have pretty female sales staff, but we also have stunning beauties like this for eye candy!"
"So, how about it? Want to come work here?"

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
