Leo Fan stood outside the polished glass doors of Xinglong Real Estate, dressed in a borrowed suit that didn't quite fit. His shoulders still carried the sting of Tang Rou's rejection, but his gaze was sharp—focused.

Inside the Lion's Den
The office buzzed with agents on phones, pretending they were closing deals.
At the front desk, a sharp-faced woman named Yue Ling raised an eyebrow.
"You must be the intern they sent. Tch. You look like you'd be better off delivering takeout."
Her words were like ice, drawing snickers from others nearby.
A short man in a flashy tie, Manager Duan, waved lazily. "Let him follow Xiao Zhao around. Don't expect him to close anything."
Leo remained silent—but the system's voice echoed faintly in his mind.
> 🧠 Skill Activated: Real Estate Insight (Level 1)
📍 Nearby hot prospect detected: Client "Mr. Wei" - looking for a discreet purchase, budget ¥5,000,000.
Leo's eyes narrowed. He didn't need their help.

Hunting the Whale
Instead of shadowing anyone, Leo slipped out. He followed the system's guidance and found Mr. Wei at a quiet tea house, flipping through property pamphlets.
The man looked surprised when Leo approached.
"Who are you?"
Leo smiled, calm and confident. "Someone who found what you're looking for."
Within 15 minutes, Leo had pulled up the perfect listing: a three-bedroom penthouse in Qinghe Garden. Gated. Private elevator. Undervalued due to a recent inheritance transfer.
Mr. Wei was stunned. "No agent I've met found this. How did you…?"
Leo simply nodded. "I do my homework."

Return and Shock
By the afternoon, the deal was closed.
When Leo walked back into the office with the signed contract, Manager Duan nearly dropped his tablet.
"You… sold something already?!"
Yue Ling snatched the file and her face turned pale.
"Qinghe Garden? That property's been sitting unsold for four months!"
Leo shrugged. "Guess I was just lucky."

The entire office fell silent.
For the first time, people weren't laughing at Leo Fan. They were looking at him differently.
Some with jealousy. Some with interest. Some… with fear.
But Leo didn't care. He simply looked out the window, as the system whispered:
> "Well done, Agent Fan. But you're not here to impress—they're here to regret."
