Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

As soon as Lin Fan arrived, the people in the sales department fell silent, though their expressions still betrayed a hint of disdain.

They completely despised this man who came in through nepotism as a live-in son-in-law.

Yet, Manager Xiao immediately flashed a bright smile, proactively walking up to Lin Fan and respectfully saying, "Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Xiao Tiezhu, the head of the sales department. Welcome, Mr. Lin. Everyone, applaud!"

Manager Xiao led the applause.

The people in the sales department followed suit, pretending to put on a welcoming façade.

As salespeople, they were masters of reading others, with acting skills comparable to Oscar winners. Although they looked down on Lin Fan, with Manager Xiao setting the tone, they had no reason not to follow.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone."

He chuckled inwardly, as he had heard every word they said earlier from outside.

Now, looking at their smiling faces, Lin Fan felt a bit disgusted, thinking what a bunch of hypocrites they were.

After a brief welcoming ceremony.

Manager Xiao said, "Mr. Lin, let me introduce you to our sales department's work. Our primary task is to sell the company's projects. Currently, we are selling a commercial unit. It's the offseason, so business is relatively slow. But our colleagues are very competent. We have a total of seven colleagues, and everyone has made a sale this month. Mr. Lin can take a look at our performance chart, which we update regularly."

In the sales department, performance is the hard truth.

The walls of the sales department were plastered with various motivational slogans, among which the most eye-catching was the performance chart.

The performance of all seven salespeople was clearly displayed on the chart.

Lin Fan glanced at it; the top performer this month already had 8 deals, while even the last one had 2 deals.

Manager Xiao said, "Mr. Lin just joined, so there's no performance yet, hence temporarily ranked eighth. Hopefully, Mr. Lin will work hard."

With that, Manager Xiao added Lin Fan's name to the bottom of the performance chart.

Lin Fan, ranked eighth, 0 deals!

"Mr. Lin, I also need to explain our assessment system. Our competition is quite fierce. If you don't have a deal in a month, you'll be eliminated. If you're at the bottom for three consecutive months, you'll also be eliminated. As a new employee, the trial period is one month. If there's no deal within a month, I'm sorry, it just shows that you're not suitable for sales work. Additionally, during the entire probationary period, if any violation of company policy is found, dismissal is warranted. Of course, being able to close deals trumps everything else," Manager Xiao said.

Lin Fan nodded, "I understand."

Manager Xiao smiled and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have confidence? I heard you were a courier before, so your sales experience might be lacking, right? But don't worry, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your colleagues or come to me. We're a team, like a family, and we'll all help you. I hope you won't stay in last place forever."

Though it sounded like he was encouraging Lin Fan, the encouragement carried a hint of sarcasm.

Everyone snickered quietly.

In their hearts, they didn't believe Lin Fan had the ability to work. They thought Lin Fan would always remain in last place.

They certainly weren't going to help Lin Fan. Not tripping him up would already be decent.

Lin Fan was destined to stay in last place until the probation period ended, and he'd be eliminated!

Manager Xiao's plan was brilliant, in a month at most, Lin Fan would be out!

If Lin Fan got caught violating any company rule in the meantime, he could even be kicked out sooner!

"Mr. Lin, now let me assign you a task. There's a project from our company, the Mingshi Century Commercial Center, which you'll be responsible for selling. You can head over to Mingshi Century now to familiarize yourself. I wish you an early deal," Manager Xiao said.

Lin Fan promptly said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Lin Fan then left the company for Mingshi Century.

As soon as Lin Fan walked out, the sales department office erupted in laughter.

"Manager, your move is brilliant. The Mingshi Century is such a lousy unit, it's virtually unsellable!"

"Haha, absolutely brilliant. Lin Fan is a complete waste of space. Even if he were assigned to a good location, he might not close a deal. Now with Mingshi Century, there's no way he'll succeed!"

"This guy is doomed!"

Everyone laughed gloatingly.

It turned out that the unit Manager Xiao assigned Lin Fan was in a remote location, where not even birds would shit, and inaccessible.

Since this project's development, it's been largely neglected. Even the world's best sales expert couldn't sell it!

Especially since Lin Fan was a useless courier turned salesperson!

Assigning Lin Fan to sell this unit was as good as sentencing him to death.

And this was indeed the case.

In the following week, Lin Fan camped at Mingshi Century every day, only to collect zero results.

There wasn't even anyone looking, let alone buying.

The people in the sales department secretly mocked Lin Fan with all sorts of ridicule, certain he wouldn't pass this test.

Lin Fan's first visit to Mingshi Century had him breaking a cold sweat, his heart chilled. The Mingshi Century project was too desolate.

All around were wild fields!

No village in front, no shop behind, wasn't this project originally a failure by the Wei Family?

Lin Fan was sure Manager Xiao did it on purpose. Though Manager Xiao appeared courteous on the surface, his belly was full of bad water.

A week later, Lin Fan still didn't sell a single unit.

That day, nearing the end of work, Wei Qingxue visited Mingshi Century to check on Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, how's it going after a week in sales? Are you adjusting?" Wei Qingxue asked.

Lin Fan smiled, "It's okay, just a bit quiet."

Quiet was an understatement; there wasn't even a ghost around.

Wei Qingxue said, "Mingshi Century is indeed hard to sell. If necessary, I can talk to Manager Xiao about reassigning you?"

Lin Fan said, "No need, thanks for your kindness. But if you intervene, they'll gossip, saying I rely on our relationship, and even if I make a sale, they wouldn't respect it. So, it's best not to get involved."

Wei Qingxue said, "But... if you can't make a sale in a month, wouldn't it be even worse to leave the sales department?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to prevent that. Even if I fail, there's nothing more to say."

Wei Qingxue sighed. She understood Lin Fan's meaning; he didn't want to rely on her. But if she didn't help, Lin Fan might actually fail.

A few more days passed, and Manager Xiao called Lin Fan back to the company for a meeting.

"Mr. Lin, you've been in the sales department for nearly half a month now. Three days left, and this month ends. If Mr. Lin still has 0 deals, you'll regrettably have to leave the sales department," Manager Xiao said.

Lin Fan was shocked, "Wasn't the probation period a month? Why only 3 days left?"

Manager Xiao replied, "Perhaps I wasn't clear. By one month, I meant this calendar month. When Mr. Lin joined, the month was halfway through, so actually, Mr. Lin only has half a month."

Everyone snickered quietly.

Too perfect, Lin Fan only had three days left, surely he couldn't close a deal!
