KC | Chapter 96

Before the two of them started dating, Lin Yiran had already classified Chen Xi as a key client; now, among all of Lin Yiran’s key clients, Chen Xi had the highest priority.

Lin Yiran had always thought the bond that maintained a relationship was responsibility, but now he felt it was affection.

In this relationship, he had put in nowhere near as much time as Chen Xi had, so he turned down dinners, brushed off the client side, and left all the time he could currently control to Chen Xi.

He had once thought he could use abnormal feelings and spend a small amount of money to get Chen Xi’s compromise, but now he was extremely glad he had not done that back then.

After hanging around the advertising circle for 13 years, Lin Yiran had seen too many inhuman methods. In order to stand out in the mire of sales, he put on a vivid outer skin and became a dazzling翠盖华章. And Chen Xi was like a white lotus in this mire, blooming in the dead of night, silently receiving admiration from all.

They were one vividly colored and one all show and no substance, one clean and pure with no unnecessary branches. Chen Xi envied Lin Yiran for being able to bloom while he was still just a seed, while Lin Yiran, in a pond full of lotus flowers and mud, could only see Chen Xi.

Chen Xi’s goodness was very hard not to make someone moved.

Weighing the pros and cons was Lin Yiran’s habitual way of thinking. He would send gifts in the livestream room of the marketing director of Zhongdao Real Estate, let the client side call out “Lanhai Easy-Burn Big Bro” to get familiar, and make it easier to talk about “benefit” later on; but if he sent gifts in an entertainment streamer’s livestream room, the streamer’s thanks would bring him no “benefit,” so Lin Yiran would not do that.

Lin Yiran rarely invested in uncertain matters, but he was willing to pour in all his money, material resources, and time to invest in Chen Xi.

Spending time with Chen Xi and enjoying it, cutting off several thousand yuan’s worth of belt holes without blinking, and even wanting to buy him a car.

If Chen Xi was the kind of person so in love that he lost his mind, then Lin Yiran was the kind of person so in love that he squandered money, the two of them were equally matched.

Lin Yiran propped up his MacBook in the passenger seat. Although he had turned down a lot of social engagements, tomorrow’s meeting materials still had to be prepared. What was worth being glad about was that Yucheng’s KA performance this month had been catching up fast. After Chen Xi signed with Gulin last week, the completion ratio had surpassed Jicheng, with only a 2% gap from Beishi.

The group owner of the Enterprise WeChat three-province KA large group was Zhang Guangming. He would read the data posted in the group every day, and he did not mention it to Wang Shuang because he did not want to pressure her.

KA assessment methods were different from those for small and medium accounts. All management, just like front-line staff, had performance pressure. Wang Shuang had just arrived and did not have any key clients. Lin Yiran did not mind helping her out a bit. On top of that, he had recently been addicted to some soft and cuddly little rabbit, had no mind for work, and the tasks assigned to Wang Shuang just kept increasing.

Most people in Lanhai evaluated Lin Yiran’s management style as low-key, polite, and positive energy, but all of that was a disguise.

Two months ago, after Lin Yiran pulled Wang Shuang into the client group, he had never spoken a word. It was a test, and also observation. Now the client side kept raising new requirements one after another, and Wang Shuang replied almost instantly with “okay,” “received,” and “no problem.”

Wang Shuang worked diligently to assist him with management and do his work, not only without complaining, but also never taking credit, and never bringing up splitting performance.

She organized KA training, sharing sessions, and morning meetings, sincerely hoping that the team she was in could get better and better.

Lin Yiran sent her a bidding document from the client side and said, “If President Wang has time, you can do this bid. Let’s count it as a joint bid, performance split half and half, and I wish you a happy weekend.”

The purpose of Lin Yiran signing key clients was to seek the thrill of conquest, and Chen Xi could give him all the thrill he wanted.

It’s just that he had been practicing driving all week, so the thrill could not be released and had accumulated quite a lot.

An old beast who had gotten a taste for it but could not eat meat felt uncomfortable, and tried as gently as possible to express it: “You’re fine driving on the road now, practice about enough is enough.”

Chen Xi: “There’ll be a lot of cars tomorrow morning, and I get nervous easily. Since there’s still time tonight, I’ll practice a bit more.”

Lin Yiran: …

Reasoning nicely did not work, it looked like he still had to use both pressure and inducement.

Lin Yiran asked, “Is Olai opening bids tomorrow?”

Chen Xi: “Mm, after the bidding deadline last week, I already knew the base price.”

Lin Yiran: …

“If you knew the base price, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Chen Xi looked innocent. “Didn’t you tell me to wait until the bid opening before saying anything?”

A single-celled organism had limited brain capacity, so missing even one reminder was not okay. Lin Yiran patted Chen Xi’s head and sighed. “It’s not easy for you to have grown this big.”

Chen Xi: ?

“Nothing, I was just praising you for being cute.”
