After hearing Xiao Han's words, the store managers of several branches echoed his sentiments.

"That Zhou Huan is so disloyal! He really doesn't care about past relationships. He had such a good thing and didn't even take us with him when he ran away!"

"Haha, what are you saying? Does he dare to take you there?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Even if it weren't for the double salary, I'd want to go just for Manager Zhou."

These words truly express what everyone is feeling right now.

Xiao Han skillfully guided the conversation:

"Go ahead and go. I heard that Baiyue is short-staffed right now. They've opened more than fifty stores, and I bet they haven't even found enough store managers and staff yet."

However, as soon as he said this, the others looked at each other again, and then all began to evade the question:

"Oh, Xiao Han, what are you saying? How could we possibly resign at this time?"

“Exactly, the decline in performance is serious, but we’ve all worked at Guangyuan for so long, there’s bound to be some bond between us, it’s not right for us to leave like this.” “Right, it’s not right! Haha.”

Xiao Han smiled, pursing her lips.

"I was just kidding, everyone's just joking, don't take it seriously!"

That's what they say.

However, a few days later, the scene of several store managers gathering at Baiyue's human resources department was still extremely awkward.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Two stories unfolded, each telling its own tale. After the store managers left, Sun Ye brazenly appeared in his brother-in-law's conference room and immediately asked:

"Brother-in-law, what do you want from me on such a hot day?" Zheng Hongshan was furious at the sight of his lazy, good-for-nothing brother-in-law. Out of consideration for his sister, Zheng Hongshan suppressed his anger and asked:

"Xiao Ye, did your purchasing department return some products last month?"

Sun Ye was called to a meeting by his secretary, Xiao Zhou, and was still somewhat dazed.

"Returns? Our supermarket gets a lot of return orders every month, brother-in-law, why are you asking this out of the blue?"

"What's wrong with him? With such a severe decline in performance, he calls it 'what's wrong with him'? Zheng Hongshan wanted to slap him across the face."

Looking at Sun Ye's similar features to his sister, he didn't dare to actually hit him.

Zheng Hongshan took a deep breath and continued in a gentle and pleasant manner:

"It's the 'Lu's' brand product. Did your purchasing department cancel the order?"

Compared to Zheng Hongshan, who doesn't pay much attention to online public opinion, Sun Ye loves surfing the internet.

When he thought of the "Lu's" brand, his first thought wasn't the order cancellation information from the purchasing department, but the "poisoning incident" that was making headlines online.

Then, prompted by Zheng Hongshan, I remembered the product being taken down last month:

"Oh, brother-in-law, you mean this? That's definitely right."

"Although I was appointed as the head of the purchasing department by you, brother-in-law, I have done my job."

“Take this ‘Lu’s’ product for example. Even if you hadn’t said anything, brother-in-law, I would never have allowed such a toxic product to be sold in our Guangyuan Supermarket.”

As if Zheng Hongshan wasn't being assertive enough, Sun Ye laughed and showed off his "reliability":

"Brother-in-law, you should praise me more if I do a good job."

"Take this opportunity to tell my sister and your mother-in-law when you get home, so they know that I'm now in charge of things."

A few words nearly made Zheng Hongshan burst into tears. He pointed at Sun Ye with trembling hands: "So it was you who ordered it to be taken off the shelves? You were the one who relayed the message to the branch store too?"

Sun Ye was good at reading people. Seeing that Zheng Hongshan didn't seem happy, he realized he must have messed things up and quickly tried to shift the blame.

"Brother-in-law, you can't do this."

"I did the work, that's true, but you made the demands yourself!"

Zheng Hongshan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "What do you mean I brought it up? How can it be me who brought it up? Let me tell you, Sun Ye, don't rely on your sister's influence to expect me to take the blame for you!"

Sun Ye hadn't expected Zheng Hongshan to speak so seriously, and was quite displeased. However, seeing his brother-in-law's boundless anger, he suppressed his temper and explained:

"Brother-in-law, you definitely gave this order."

"You forgot? You were the one who told me that the Lu's brand had offended Shengjing Company, the industry benchmark and the leading company in the condiment market."

"Shengjing Company, together with several other industry giants, joined forces to block and deal with the Lu family."

"They're demanding that we return all products under the Lu's brand, or they'll terminate our cooperation."

It was explained clearly in just a few words.

Zheng Hongshan refused to take the blame for Sun Ye, and Sun Ye didn't want to clean up Zheng Hongshan's mess either.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? You've really forgotten all about this?" Zheng Hongshan was a little confused by the question: "When did this happen? I have absolutely no recollection of it?"

Sun Ye, seeing that his brother-in-law didn't seem to be faking it, simply rolled his eyes and said:

"How would I know? I only remember that after you met with the heads of Shengjing Company and the other two companies that day, you got drunk."

“My sister didn’t even invite you into the house that day; I had to carry you to the office to sleep.”

"You've forgotten about this too?"
