Life and Death Insurance – CH 003

Chapter 3

As Xiang Tian retreated, Ling Zhengzhong followed closely, pressing closer and smoothing his hair as he softly asked, “You haven’t been in this business long, have you?”

“Yes… Only half a year, but half a year has allowed me to accumulate a lot of experience. Mr. Ling, please rest assured, I’m a very professional insurance agent…”

Please, don’t come any closer. I’m here to sell insurance, not to sell my body…

Soon, Xiang Tian retreated to the very edge of the sofa until he had nowhere left to go.

Seeing the little hamster’s face turn as red as a tomato, his big eyes darting around in panic, Ling Zhengzhong couldn’t hide his smugness.

“Little brat, you’re far from being as resilient as me…”

Continuing his press, Ling Zhengzhong leaned in, grabbed a document from the table, and tossed it in front of Xiang Tian, ​​laughing, “Do you think someone who’s only been in the insurance business for six months has the right to call themselves a professional?”

“Mr. Ling…”

“Just call me Zhengzhong, little brat. It’s just an insurance policy; why make it so complicated? If you spend one night with me, I’ll sign it, and all three at once. What do you say?”

This pervert, what did he take me for?

Xiang Tian’s handsome, almost androgynous face was indeed the most popular type these days. In the past six months of selling insurance, he’d encountered clients who tried to curry favor with him, but Ling Zhengzhong was the first to be so blatantly rude to him on their first meeting.

Xiang Tian’s fist was already itching to strike, but considering the potential consequences…

Losing his integrity was a big deal; losing his job was even bigger…

Xiang Tian didn’t want to lose his job because of this scumbag. He suppressed his anger and continued with a smile, “Mr. Ling, signing an insurance policy won’t take all night; an hour at most will suffice.”

“Pfft…”

Ling Zhengzhong almost burst out laughing. Was this little guy genuinely stupid or just pretending? He had already explained himself so clearly, and he still didn’t understand?

“Alright, then let’s finish in an hour. What positions do you prefer? Front or back? I guarantee you’ll be satisfied…”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Tian shoved him aside. Caught off guard, Ling Zhengzhong almost fell backward onto the sofa. He was somewhat surprised; this little hamster, so thin and weak, was surprisingly strong.

“Mr. Ling, I thought… I suddenly remembered I have some urgent business at the company that needs my attention. I’ll contact you about the insurance later…” Xiang Tian quickly packed all the documents into his briefcase and ran out without looking back.

Watching Xiang Tian’s flushed face and hasty retreat, Ling Zhengzhong was first taken aback, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He was really quite adorable. He really wanted to tease him a little more. How did he give in so quickly? How could someone so thin-skinned do insurance?

He laughed for a while, then went to the window and looked down. He saw Xiang Tian hurrying along the street in the neighborhood, head down. His gait was comparable to a hamster spinning on a wheel. Ling Zhengzhong laughed again.

This little hamster had finally surrendered. He could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Back on his king-size bed in the bedroom, Ling Zhengzhong snuggled into the warm covers, closed his eyes, and continued to drift into his sweet dream world.

Ah, on such a cold day, being in bed was the most comfortable…

Still hungover, Ling Zhengzhong’s senses were quickly numbed by the alcohol in his system, and he slowly fell into a sweet dream.

This time, it felt like he slept for a long time.

But…

Hey, why was there a little white hamster spinning in front of him? Where did his beauty go? Right, it seemed like a little hamster came to sell him insurance just now, but did it have to be so persistent that it wouldn’t even spare his dreams…?

Please stop spinning! You are making my head spin, and you keep running around like that. Don’t you get tired…?

Ling Zhengzhong grumbled unhappily, half-asleep; this half-awake feeling was really uncomfortable.

“Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong…”

“Seriously, little hamster, you still won’t let me go? I surrender; I’ll buy your insurance, okay?”

Ling Zhengzhong painfully struggled out of his dream for the third time. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was a little past three in the afternoon. He’d really slept a long time.

Ling Zhengzhong got out of bed, put on his shoes, and staggered to the door.

The rain and snow outside showed no signs of stopping. It’d been raining for so long; there must be a layer of snow on the ground by now. Fine, for the little hamster’s hard work and tenacity, he’d sign the policy.

The doorbell continued to ring urgently, even more impatiently than the previous two times. Ling Zhengzhong didn’t bother checking the CCTV anymore. He flung the door open and yelled, “One ring of the doorbell is enough! I’m not deaf! Fine, I give up! Give me the policy; I’ll sign it right now!”

“Huh, who’s this?”

Thinking he hadn’t seen clearly, Ling Zhengzhong rubbed his still-sleepy eyes. Then he clearly saw that standing in front of him wasn’t the handsome insurance agent, but two completely unfamiliar young men.

“Are you Mr. Ling Zhengzhong?” the taller one asked.

“Yes, I am. You…” What kind of high-class apartment was this? How could just anyone come in?

The taller man handed Ling Zhengzhong an ID. Ling Zhengzhong glanced at it, then couldn’t help but scrutinize the two men again.

“Police? Chu Feng?”

What did the police want with me?

Ling Zhengzhong stared warily at the two plainclothes detectives.
