C2 Possessed by the System

Liu Hsing felt that this was the unluckiest day of his life. He was desperate to let off steam, yet he had to swallow his pride—his mother's illness couldn't wait.

"Boss Zheng, please, I'm begging you. I can't afford to lose this job. My mom's in the hospital, and I can't have a gap in my pay. I'll forgo the commission, and I've already handed over the accounts to Zhang Qiang. Just let me keep my job! I guarantee I'll deliver results next month."

"Are you actually sick or just out of your mind? I told you to pack up and leave. Why should I care about your mother's illness or how much it costs? Do I look like a charity to you? Stop wasting my time and get lost!"

Boss Zheng's merciless words extinguished Liu Hsing's last glimmer of hope. He didn't react with anger. Instead, he quietly turned and left the office. Without a word to anyone, he grabbed his shoulder bag and silently exited the company's doors.

"Why? Why? Why?" Liu Hsing's mind raced with questions. He could have earned a sizable commission. He could have been a top salesman. He could have easily kept his job and gathered enough money for his mother's medical bills. But now...

"No, I can't let this defeat me! I need to stay positive. My mom needs me; my family relies on me."

Liu Hsing took several deep breaths, trying to steady his nerves.

Just then, a voice in his mind jolted him:

Liu Hsing's mind went blank for a moment before he regained his composure. A renewed sense of confidence ignited within him, dispelling any negativity that had lingered.

He was utterly astonished, not just by the psychological shift he experienced, but also by the virtual interface that materialized before him, displaying his various sales attributes.

"System? Ace Salesman? Lucky draw?"

Gradually, Liu Hsing regained his senses and pinched himself hard. If he wasn't dreaming, then it could only mean one thing—he was incredibly fortunate!

"Lucky draw! Let's see what's available!"

Liu Hsing attempted to communicate with the system using his thoughts, and in an instant, the view before him transformed into a large spinning wheel.

The wheel was adorned with various labels: Million Business Information, 100 Sales Points, Premium Channel Contact Numbers...

As he gazed at the eclectic array of prizes on the wheel, Liu Hsing was ecstatic, his throat tightening with anticipation.

"Lucky draw!"

The wheel began to decelerate, and the pointer finally came to rest on the Million Business Information.

"Million... Business Information!"

Liu Hsing's heart was racing with excitement as the system's voice chimed in.

"Host, you have drawn the Million Business Information. Would you like to claim your reward now?"

"Claim it! Absolutely!"

"Host, you have successfully claimed your reward. The Million Business Information has been sent to your email."

Liu Hsing eagerly unlocked his phone and opened the document in his inbox. He was astounded by the contents.

Hangda Real Estate's new project in T City, Hangda Distance Ltd's pre-sale promotion for a million-dollar business. The business's main focus was local promotion and pre-sale activities, requiring substantial exposure—enough to make over half of T City's population aware of Hangda's new development.

Liu Hsing meticulously reviewed the information before his gaze settled on the photo in the top right corner.

The woman's long, dense black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin pale and luminous like the moon. Her deep, moonlit eyes, her sculpted nose, and her lips, tinted with a soft pink lipstick, complemented her exquisitely proportioned features set against her stunning oval face.

With just one look, Liu Hsing was captivated by her breathtaking beauty.

"Who would have thought that the person in charge of Hangda in T City would be such a young and beautiful woman? Looks can be deceiving. It seems I'll have to seize the opportunity to approach her tonight. If it comes to it, I'll let her beat me up in a fight."

Liu Hsing resolved that securing Hangda's business was his only opportunity, and no matter the challenge, he was determined to succeed.

After stowing his phone and steadying his mindset, Liu Hsing returned to the office. He couldn't afford to be away from the company just yet.

Upon entering, he encountered Zhang Qiang, who was seeing Director Wang out.

"Director Wang, have a safe journey," Liu Hsing said, his smile warm as he nodded in farewell.

After this exchange, Liu Hsing found himself puzzled. Why was he acting so cordially towards Director Wang despite his inner aversion? Could it be a result of his newfound confidence and capabilities?

"Uh... sure thing, Liu."

Zhang Qiang, though puzzled, didn't question further. He gave Liu Hsing a quick glance and then left the company with Director Wang.

Liu Hsing didn't dwell on these issues. It was for the best.

Upon reaching Boss Zheng's office, he knocked on the door courteously.

"Come in."

"Boss Zheng, I've returned."

Liu Hsing greeted Boss Zheng with a smile, hiding any feelings of disgust or resentment.

"Hmm? Why are you back? If you've forgotten something here, just pick it up. No need to inform me."

"No, it's not that. I have a small business matter I'd like to discuss with you."

"Business?" Boss Zheng finally looked up at Liu Hsing. "You, with business? Don't waste my time. Get lost."

Unfazed, Liu Hsing's smile only grew brighter. He settled into the plush sofa in the office and leisurely lit a White Shark cigarette. Taking a deep drag, he spoke with evident pleasure.

"A small matter, the pre-sale and promotional campaign for Hangda's new development."

Boss Zheng was visibly annoyed by Liu Hsing's demeanor, but his words caught him off guard.

Hangda was among the top ten real estate firms in the country, with a significant presence in T City. Hangda Distance was Hangda's flagship project in T City, and its marketing efforts were well-known. Boss Zheng had tried to get involved several times but to no avail.

"You mean the pre-sale and promotion for Hangda Distance?"

Boss Zheng's surprise was evident, and Liu Hsing couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. He simply smiled and nodded.

"How much are we talking about?"

"Not a lot, just 1.2 million."

Liu Hsing took another drag of his cigarette. Despite his inner jubilation, he remained composed.

"What? 1.2 million?"

Boss Zheng lost his composure. 1.2 million exceeded the company's revenue for half a year; this was no small matter. He probed cautiously.

"Have you secured this deal?"

"Not yet, but I'm confident it will be mine soon. I have all the project details, including information on the project manager, Tang Xiaomin, and her schedule."

Upon learning that Liu Hsing had no information, Director Zheng nearly passed out. But when he discovered that Liu Hsing possessed Tang Xiaomin's itinerary, he suppressed his impulse to explode in anger.

"How did you come by her schedule?"

"Oh, look at me, forgetting myself. You've already let me go; I really shouldn't be here. So, I'll get out of your way. You carry on, Director Zheng."

As Liu Hsing rose to leave, Director Zheng quickly stood up too. He wasn't certain about the authenticity of the information, but he knew that business with Hangda was serious. He couldn't pass up even the slightest opportunity to make a move.

Moreover, having Tang Xiaomin's schedule meant an early chance to connect with her before any competitors—a prime opportunity to gain an edge.

"Wait... hold on a second, Liu."

"What is it, Director Zheng? Am I rolling out in the wrong direction? No problem, just tell me which way to go, and I'll adjust."

Liu Hsing's response left Director Zheng with a face alternating between shades of green and purple, yet he managed not to lose his temper and instead forced a smile.

"No... that's not it, Liu. Don't rush off. I spoke in haste earlier; please don't take it to heart. Besides, you haven't gone through the resignation process yet, so technically, you're still on the payroll."

Liu Hsing eyed Director Zheng with disdain. The company had never formalized a contract with him or officially hired him, so what resignation process was there to speak of?

Within less than ten minutes, such a drastic shift had occurred, all because of the information Liu Hsing held.

To an unscrupulous boss like Zheng, profit was the only thing that mattered.

"Boss, I'm back. About Director Wang..."

Just then, Zhang Qiang walked in.

Noticing Liu Hsing still present, he felt annoyed and looked down on him, raising his voice.

"Hey, why are you still hanging around? Weren't you told to beat it? What happened? Got lost? You..."

Before Liu Hsing could reply, Director Zheng cut Zhang Qiang off.

"Will you just shut it!"
