Weakling Spirit nodded, “I have some impression. We didn’t hear much about online shopping before, but there were often people coming to school to distribute flyers.”
Most of the flyers at school were for novels.
Students who wanted to buy books would take the promotional flyers, which had colorful novel covers like “The Left Ear” and “That Guy is Arrogant”… they were especially popular among girls.
After checking the boxes on the flyers, they would hand them over to the salesperson, who would then place the order. After one or two weeks, the novels would be delivered by mail.
Of course, in addition to books, there were also some small accessories like earrings and necklaces, but clothes were rare. Everyone was used to going out to buy clothes and shoes.
Unlike now, many people buy things by opening a shopping app, placing an order, making the payment, and waiting for the delivery. They can usually receive their purchased items within two or three days.
“It can be said that the convenience of shopping now is inseparable from the efforts of the salespeople who paved the way for e-commerce.”
Weakling Spirit explained this to Lilly.
Lilly said, “Wow… I learned something new.”
She didn’t know about the process from the past in her generation.
Bootlicker nodded and continued:
“Exactly, that’s right… I started with this kind of promotion, distributing flyers at schools.”
It was easy to do because students were easy to talk to. As long as he found a willing student to take the flyers to school and register the orders, he would collect them later and place the orders together.
He would receive a commission from the platform and the stores for helping with online orders.
But those were small-scale activities. Later, he took on another business line.
“Finding businesses to join the platform,” Bootlicker said, “finding those store owners and persuading them to open online stores on the platform.”
If he successfully signed one, he would receive a substantial commission.
“After becoming familiar with it, small shops no longer satisfied me. I wanted to work with larger stores. At that time, there were store ratings, and I would earn a 10% commission if I managed to get a ‘Purple Diamond’ store to join.”
Accordingly, he started looking for small-scale companies.
“But why would they trust me or the company? It was so easy to run physical stores back then.”
“So, I had to butter them up in every way possible, constantly flatter them, treat them to meals, drinks, and singing. I went all out to build relationships.”
“For male bosses, I would praise them as successful and dominant individuals. For female bosses, I would praise their youth, beauty, and entrepreneurial spirit. If they were slim, I would marvel at their great figure and ask for beauty tips. If they were overweight, I would envy their good fortune, assuming they must be wealthy and prosperous.”
In short, there was no horse he couldn’t flatter!
Gradually, he became so skilled at flattery that it came naturally to him. He could easily make bosses feel on top of the world with just his words. There was nothing he couldn’t understand!
“Who would have thought that one day I would flatter the wrong person.”
Bootlicker grumbled, “One day, I saw my ultimate client—a certain boss walking with a young, beautiful, and well-proportioned woman.”
The boss wasn’t bad-looking, just a little older, the type of man who aged like fine wine.
The girl was much younger, barely 18.
“I looked at him with envy, thinking he truly deserved to be a successful person if he could find such a good-looking woman.”
Harem Spirit chimed in, “So, was the girl his daughter?”
Bootlicker replied, “It would have been that simple if she was his daughter.”
After the girl finished shopping, she chatted with the boss while he accompanied her.
The boss smirked and said, “Women are all materialistic. Give them some money, and they’re willing to be mistresses. They’re all about money. If you give them enough, they’ll do whatever you want, even in bed.”
“I knew this was a form of male boasting, showing off his wealth and his prowess in that area. But, most importantly, based on my years of experience in flattery, I could hear his disdain for women.”
“The essence of flattery is to identify the client’s pain points, the things others don’t know, especially in terms of concepts… and hit the bullseye with your flattery!”
With so many people flattering, why was he the only one who succeeded by flattery alone? It was because he had learned to ‘build shared values’ with his clients.
The boss’s disdain for women was his hidden pain point.
“Immediately, I responded, ‘Exactly! Mistresses are so cheap, just like female dogs. They only care about money, but it has to be a boss like you. Others can’t afford it.'”
“Then I jokingly said, ‘Boss, you’re still going strong. You’ve taken good care of yourself! How did you manage to do that? Care to share your experiences with me?'”
The spirits looked puzzled, “What’s wrong with that statement?”
It wasn’t about whether the statement aligned with their values, but rather, according to Bootlicker’s flattery technique, there shouldn’t have been any mistakes.
Bootlicker looked frustrated, “The problem lies in the term ‘mistress’ and the phrase ‘going strong’.”
This boss was difficult to flatter. He was petty and vindictive.
Not only that, he had a particular desire for the thrill of controlling everything, like an emperor deciding life and death.
“Let me put it this way, when one of his employees talked behind his back and he found out, he had the person beaten until they were disabled, making it clear that he had the power to control everything.”
Because of that, Bootlicker had been doing his best to please, flatter, and say nice things.
“Who could have imagined that this person himself would be someone else’s mistress…”
The spirits looked perplexed.
Josh clicked his tongue and said, “…tsk.”
