Vol. 1 - Ch. 13 - Level Up

Li Han always felt incredibly fortunate to be born into this family. His parents were loving, kind-hearted, and had good moral ethics. Growing up in a healthy and loving environment, for a child, had a good impact on their future.However, as he went to sleep in his bed and recalled being politely rejected, a lingering frustration remained in his heart. He wanted to confide in and vent, but he couldn't find a suitable person to do so.

Most of his friends had already started their own families, and had enough troubles in their lives. He didn't want to bother them with his trivial concerns. And now...Li Han felt that his colleagues at the 4S dealership were just acquaintances, not friends.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Han came up with an idea: Why not talk to Wang Man about it? Although it might be a bit abrupt, discussing his blind date experience with her could help break down barriers and allow them to chat as friends.

Because Wang Man had always emphasized that she didn't plan to date, Li Han thought that sharing his blind date experiences might help her drop her guard and chat with him as a friend.

"Let's give it a try!" Li Han took out his phone and sent a message to Wang Man on WeChat. "Another failed blind date today." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

One minute passed, then two minutes...five minutes passed, but there wasn't any reply from the other side.

Just as Li Han was about to give up and go to sleep, his phone vibrated.

"Did you not like them or did the other person not like you?" Wang Man replied, accompanied by a "dog" emoji at the beginning.

"Of course, the other person didn't like me," Li Han sighed and replied.

"Hey, take it easy. You're handsome and come from a good family. Are you afraid that you won't find a girlfriend?" Wang Man's words carried a cheerful tone, making Li Han feel like he had actually struck a chord.

After a brief silence, Wang Man continued her reply, "How many blind dates have you been on?"

"About once a month after graduating from college," Li Han replied, rolled his eyes and typed on his phone.

"No girl finds you attractive?" Wang Man added a "black question mark" emoji.

"There have been, but..." Li Han smiled bitterly, "I didn't find them attractive."

"You're so picky, no wonder you're single!" Wang Man replied, a little teasingly.

"Can I afford not to be picky when it comes to choosing a lifelong partner?!" Li Han retorted.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and by now, it was almost 11 o'clock and Wang Man decided to end the conversation.

"Alright, it's getting late. I have to get up early tomorrow so I'll be going to bed now, okay?"

"Okay." Li Han replied with a single word and put aside his phone. As the first chat after adding each other on WeChat contacts, he was quite satisfied with the outcome, as it laid a foundation for future communication.

As for how to continue increasing the affinity between them...he already had some ideas in mind.

The May Day holiday passed in this manner, and Li Han immersed himself back into work.

At the moment, he had accumulated an ample amount of big data points. After redeeming the financial products, he would also have enough capital. He planned to enter the second phase of his plan when he redeemed the financial products he bought for next week.

A day before the financial project matured, a customer approached him about buying a car as he arrived.

"I was referred by Lao Liu," the person said to Li Han with a smile. "He mentioned that you are a sales agent with great insight and can definitely help me choose a car that I like."

Li Han realized that the person was referring to "Mr. Liu", who wore a Hetian jade bead bracelet at that time.

"I will do my best," Li Han chuckled bitterly. "May I know your name?"

"Don't be so formal," the person said as he shook hands and laughed. "I'm Zhuo Biao."

"So, Mr. Zhuo, what kind of car are you inclined towards?" Li Han asked cautiously.

"To be honest, I don't know much about cars, and I just recently got my driver's licence," Zhuo Biao said with a smile. "As for the budget... below one million."

As Li Han introduced several basic car models, he also accessed the customer's consumption data: "Gaming" accounted for the highest consumption percentage at 27%; the highest consumption amount was "fifty thousand"; and the behavior of overdraft consumption was "rare".

"There is so little available data, not enough to determine his preferences..." Li Han frowned.

After some thought, he accessed the customer's love data: the customer had been in only two relationships but already had a child.

"Is there any other data that can be helpful?" Li Han furrowed a brow.

At that moment, the customer checked a message on his phone and Li Han noticed that his wallpaper featured League of Legends. This gave an idea in his mind: perhaps this could be helpful!

Li Han looked at the customer's phone screen and said, "Ah, so you also play League of Legends?"

Zhuo Biao grinned, "Yes, actually, I came here after seeing an advertisement during an LOL match."

"Oh, I see, I see," Li Han chuckled. "Driving a Mercedes, drinking War Horse, sitting in an esports chair...Ahem, cough."

Feeling the curious gazes from people around him, Li Han quickly cleared his throat and let that sentence pass, then whispered, "After you buy our car, when you watch matches with your friends, you can show off your humor..."

For now, he decided to establish the customer's determination to buy a car.

"Ah!" Zhuo Biao chuckled, already envisioning that scene in his mind. "So, Mercedes is a car model of Benz?"

"Oh, the full name of the Mercedes brand is Mercedes-Benz," Li Han explained.

"I see!" Zhuo Biao realized. "I always thought that the SUV that appeared in ads every time was a series called Mercedes!"

At this point, Zhuo Biao felt a bit embarrassed. "Sorry. I'm an amateur about this."

"It's okay, it's normal," Li Han smiled. "I highly recommend this C63, a five-seater sports performance car. It accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 4.1 seconds, and has close to 500 horsepower. I can say it combines both performance and practicality, making it suitable for someone like you who doesn't have much knowledge about cars. Additionally, a five-seater car is also family-friendly for those with children."

"How did you know..." Zhuo Biao was a bit surprised.

But Li Han glanced at the wedding ring on his left hand and said, "You're married and have money, so having children is inevitable, right?"

"That's correct. You're quite observant." Zhuo Biao nodded.

After a brief introduction and a personal experience with the car, Zhuo Biao decided to buy it.

Despite all the big data analysis, Li Han felt that the key point of the entire pitch was still the phrase "drive a Mercedes, drinking Battle Horse."

"Ah, Lao Liu's recommendation was indeed correct," Zhuo Biao patted Li Han's shoulder and laughed after signing the agreement. "You have good insight. If my friends want to buy a car, I'll also recommend them to you."

"Thank you for your trust," Li Han said with a faint smile. "You can come to pick up the car in a week."

After seeing the customer leave, Li Han took out his phone and checked it. He had received another 900 data points.

In the week and a half after the end of the Labor Day holiday, he had sold seven cars and accumulated nearly two thousand data points.

Now that his data points balance was approaching six thousand, this allowed him to make a big purchase and could even let him calculate the first prize in a lottery.

But, at that moment, Li Han noticed that the recent business deal had earned him 10 experience points, allowing him to level up as a data analyst to Level 2!
