Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 86: The Most Despised Place

At this mont, Xu Zhilin, the resentful genius, only harbored full-blown disappointnt towards the company and society in his heart. He was on the verge of losing his temper at Gu Nuan and saying, "One day, I’ll show them all!"

Gu Nuan remained silent.

Unlike Xu Zhilin, she had long passed the stage where she would get angry so easily. The unfair things she had encountered since childhood far exceeded anyone’s imagination. So, she didn’t see the need to get angry over such a trivial matter.

Suddenly, Xu Zhilin rembered sothing and slapped his forehead, "I might as well be talking to a deaf person!"

Gu Nuan couldn’t hear him.

He was obviously confused by his own anger.

Ahead, the HR staff finally led them to the new departnt and introduced, "This is the famous Investnt Attraction Departnt of Changda."

Xu Zhilin’s face imdiately darkened as if he was wearing a big black pot.

Those in real estate might not even know what investnt attraction ans, familiar only with a widely-known term called sales.

What investnt attraction does, when spoken about, is actually a branch of sales. So companies categorize sales under the investnt attraction departnt. However, in large conglorate companies, where job roles are finely distributed, investnt attraction and sales are definitely separated; they wouldn’t let salespeople do investnt attraction tasks.

The reason is simple: investnt attraction work is much harder than sales, and the compensation is not necessarily higher.

Both Gu Nuan and Xu Zhilin, being finance students and practitioners, clearly understood the distinction between investnt attraction and sales. Therefore, when the HR specialist proudly introduced them to the Investnt Attraction Departnt of Changda, only fools could be deceived.

In Xu Zhilin’s opinion, they might as well have asked him to do sales directly.

Perhaps the sales division of Changda was also managed by the investnt attraction division, but clearly, those in the know would prefer to work in sales rather than in investnt attraction.

Investnt attraction is a typical case of thankless hard labor.

Well, speaking of the difference between investnt attraction and sales, it could take days and nights to explain using textbook language and still end up confusing.

Gu Nuan rembered that when she first encountered these terms, she also found the textbook language tough to understand. Later, she consulted a teacher who told her to take up a part-ti job.

As the saying goes, travelling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books.

So things, especially practical business operations, just can’t be learned from textbooks alone. Doing it once is better than reading a multitude of books overnight.

Gu Nuan was obedient and usually worked part-ti, mostly helping teachers with data collection because of her rapid reading and good spreadsheet skills, making her sowhat famous among the teachers, who often gave her such tasks.

Following her teacher’s advice, Gu Nuan imdiately signed up for part-ti jobs for students at the social practice office in school. It’s common for companies to seek part-ti sales personnel in schools mainly because students work for lower wages, equivalent to cheap labor. Of course, more importantly, sales are typically low-threshold tasks.

Anyone who has worked in sales knows that it’s generally priced with a base salary plus commission. In other words, the more you work, the more you earn, and technically, you could also earn nothing.

Gu Nuan found that sales were indeed easy; working for big company brands made it even simpler. The products practically sold themselves as custors ca specifically for the brand.

The root of this lies in the fact that sales personnel usually possess more specialized and comprehensive product knowledge compared to the custors. This is why custors, being in a passive buying state, are easily persuaded by salespeople.

But investnt attraction is a different story.

Take real estate, for example, distinguishing between comrcial and residential properties.

Residential property sales don’t involve investnt attraction. Buyers are often either own-use type or investors who lack comprehensive knowledge of property, thus are easily persuaded by sales personnel into purchasing. Additionally, purchasing is a one-ti action. Once a salesperson sells a property, the transaction is generally concluded.

Comrcial properties, on the other hand, rely heavily on investnt attraction. Typical investors in comrcial real estate are large companies such as various brand enterprises, including departnt stores and chain supermarkets. These are all professional companies.

These companies are also looking for feasible rental plans, thus their professional knowledge in this area is typically more comprehensive than that of comrcial real estate companies.

For this reason, in investnt attraction activities, the personnel and the clients are about evenly matched, making negotiations fiercely competitive and the tug-of-war can be trendously tough.

Everyone prefers to do easy jobs; no one likes laborious tasks that hardly please.

Xu Zhilin too would rather work in sales, even if the base salary was lower, leveraging his smooth-talking skills to deceive less knowledgeable custors, rather than dealing with shrewd ones. It was too exhausting and he wouldn’t necessarily earn more than in sales.

The HR staff, noticing their silence, realized they were knowledgeable and decided to be done with it, pushing these problematic new hires directly to the people in the investnt attraction departnt.

After all, the whole company knew that the investnt attraction departnt was specifically for solving complex issues. Therefore, a hidden rule seed to exist within the company: if soone didn’t quite fit the bill in the eyes of the higher-ups, they were most likely kicked to investnt attraction.

Xu Zhilin was assigned to Group One of the investnt attraction departnt, and Gu Nuan was sent to Group Three.

Each carrying their briefcase and the personal stationery provided by the company, they reported to their respective groups in the office area.

The investnt attraction departnt was concentrated on one floor, in one area.

Since it was relatively hard to recruit for investnt attraction and those recruited tended to not stay long, staff shortages were common here. Gu Nuan, with her belongings, walked to the corner rumored to be Project Group Three and discovered to her surprise that there were only two people working.

Upon asking, she found out that besides her, there truly were only two people in the group: naturally, one was the group leader and the other a mber.

Such a small number of personnel made it seem like a place people disliked.

Due to the lack of people, the group leader seed to be juggling a myriad of tasks, probably around forty years old but with a beard covering his chin, having no ti to shave, and if there was a word to describe him, it would be unkempt.
