Life and Death Insurance – CH 002

Chapter 2

“Oh?”

Ling Zhengzhong glanced at the anxious, slightly nervous little hamster in front of him. He knew he couldn’t possibly see him at the company; he’d already instructed his secretary not to see any salespeople, regardless of appointments.

Ling Zhengzhong had worked at Intel for seven or eight years. Its headquarters was in the US, and Ling was the regional manager for Development Engineering at the domestic branch, overseeing a couple hundred people. His position wasn’t particularly high or low, but the work environment had instilled in him an air of authority, especially now that he was in a bad mood.

He scrutinized Xiang Tian with a grim face, pleased to see the other man become even more flustered under his watchful gaze, his smile growing increasingly shy, and even showing a tendency to back away.

This kind of person was simply unsuitable for insurance. Who would entrust insurance to someone who lacked confidence? And he certainly wouldn’t waste his time on such a person.

“I don’t handle these things in my private time. Please leave immediately. If you have any further questions, please go directly to my secretary.”

“But signing an insurance policy is a private matter… Mr. Ling, I’m a very professional insurance agent; I won’t take up much of your time…”

“Get out!” That one command silenced Xiang Tian’s remaining words.

This was too much! Xiang Tian admitted he rarely encountered such a rude man.

“Good job, Ling Zhengzhong!” He slammed the door shut, thinking smugly. These salespeople, if you give them a good look, would talk on and on. It would seem this little hamster wouldn’t be coming back after this shock.

“Okay, back to my dream.” Ling Zhengzhong glanced at the still gloomy weather outside, then went back to the bedroom, leaped onto the bed, pulled the covers over himself, and went back to sleep.

It seemed to be the same woman in red. He remembered her as very beautiful, but why could he always see her face so vaguely?

Beautiful lady, please don’t wear a veil! It’s such a waste! Yes, take it off…

The veil gently slipped down, revealing a captivating face. The woman was gazing at him with smiling almond-shaped eyes, then her cherry lips parted slightly…

“Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong…”

Please, it was one thing to not be able to get the beauty, but why couldn’t he even have a beautiful dream?

The persistent doorbell successfully dragged Ling Zhengzhong from his erotic reverie once again. He rubbed his still slightly dizzy head, inwardly groaning, and reluctantly got up again.

“Coming, coming, stop pressing…”

Ling Zhengzhong glanced at the closed-circuit monitor. Still no one on the screen. Could it be that little hamster again…?

He opened the door, and unsurprisingly, Xiang Tian appeared before him. The latter, still sporting a professional smile, said, “Mr. Ling, I’m sorry to bother you again, but if you give me an hour, I can make you understand how important buying insurance is…”

Right now, what was most important to him was a good night’s sleep, not some damn insurance.

Faced with such a persistent little hamster, Ling Zhengzhong had no choice but to surrender.

After two rude responses, it wasn’t working, so Ling Zhengzhong decided to change his plan. He reluctantly opened the door and said, “Come in.”

Persistence paid off. Although waiting downstairs for most of the hour was a bit cold, the light at the end of the tunnel was finally in sight. Xiang Tian mentally cheered himself on.

“Thank you, Mr. Ling.”

He followed Ling Zhengzhong into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Ling Zhengzhong poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Xiang Tian quickly thanked him, took out his business card holder from his briefcase, pulled out his card, and presented it to Ling Zhengzhong with both hands.

“Mr. Ling, my name is Xiang Tian. I’m an insurance agent with Tianyun Insurance Company. Nice to meet you.”

Ignoring the other man’s rambling, Ling Zhengzhong took the business card, glanced at it casually, smiled, and sat down next to Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian had already taken all the documents out of his briefcase and placed them on the table, beginning his explanation: “Mr. Ling, according to our company’s Manager Hong, you haven’t enrolled in any insurance. Therefore, I’ve prepared three documents for you, all of which are the most popular insurance plans this year. I personally think this 999 insurance plan is very suitable for you. This insurance is a ten-year contract, and you only need to pay 999 yuan per month…”

A cool sensation ran down his cheek as Ling Zhengzhong’s fingers lightly traced his face, followed by the other man’s sharply defined, handsome face drawing close.

“Um… you must work very hard in insurance, right? Running around every day; look, even in this cold weather, you still have to come out and work…”

Ling Zhengzhong leaned over, almost resting on Xiang Tian’s body. As he spoke slowly, he put the business card back into Xiang Tian’s suit pocket, his hand sliding down to Xiang Tian’s inner thigh, casually groping him. The hot breath he exhaled made Xiang Tian blush instantly, and he involuntarily moved away.

“It isn’t hard work; I’m used to it…”

How much had this guy drunk? He reeked of alcohol, and his actions were so suggestive. Xiang Tian regretted his insistence on visiting today. How could he discuss insurance with a drunkard?

“How did you get in?”

This upscale apartment building was not accessible without a key card. Ling Zhengzhong was very curious about how this little hamster had managed to sneak in.

“I… the first time, someone happened to be coming out, so I just came in. Then, I didn’t go out; I just waited at the door downstairs, planning to talk to you after you woke up, Mr. Ling…”

Xiang Tian forcefully pushed away the inappropriate hand and slowly explained.

This Ling Zhengzhong looked respectable, but it turned out he was a lecher, even horny, so early in the morning. If he weren’t a client of the company, Xiang Tian really wouldn’t mind beating him to a pulp.
