Salesman

Wagner was never exactly a lucky man. For years, he built his career as one of the top field salesmen for a major pharmaceutical distributor, traveling to clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies with his trusty catalog of painkillers, syrups, and antibiotics. He knew every active ingredient by heart and had a knack for persuading even the most skeptical clients. His prematurely white hair and weathered face didn’t hold him back — on the contrary, they gave off an air of experience and reliability.

But everything changed when the company, without warning, shifted directions. Out went pharmaceuticals; in came cosmetics. Foundations, lipsticks, blushes, serums, and anti-aging creams replaced the medicines. And Wagner, with his old-school demeanor and direct speech, suddenly felt completely out of place. His jokes no longer got laughs, his technical pitches fell flat, and to make matters worse, the new sales team — full of young, charming women — stole all the attention… and the performance bonuses.

From the top of the sales leaderboard, Wagner plummeted like a dead weight. He was called into “alignment” meetings, received vague messages about “company culture,” and, eventually, sensed the silent threat of termination hanging over him.

That’s when, in a flash of audacity mixed with desperation, he had an idea that seemed absurd… yet somehow made perfect sense. If he could no longer sell with the image he had, why not reinvent that image entirely?

He sold his car, dipped into his retirement fund, and flew to Thailand — a renowned haven for aesthetic medicine. It wasn’t a vacation; it was a mission. He sought out the best professionals and underwent a series of intensive feminization procedures: facial surgery, body contouring, voice training, posture correction — even etiquette and expression coaching. Months later, the old Wagner was gone. In his place stood a stunning, confident, and captivating woman.

Upon her return, almost no one recognized her. She quickly became the rising star of the sales team, using the very products she sold as her business card. She demonstrated, tested, shared makeup tricks live, and outsold everyone. Clients weren’t just impressed with the quality of the cosmetics — they were drawn to the story of transformation and resilience she embodied.

Sure, Wagner could have just quit and found another job. But he wanted more. He wanted to prove he could succeed in any arena — even the most unlikely one. And if that meant transforming himself completely, so be it. In the end, it wasn’t just about looks. It was about survival. And more than that — about winning.
