Zhou Bing felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the incident. He had gotten into a conflict with three new employees because he was helping Chen Lijuan, but Chen Lijuan acted as if nothing had happened!
She's the one who caused all of this!
Zhou Bing suddenly realized and looked at Chen Lijuan, who was standing next to his aunt, chatting and making the three new employees laugh and talk.
Even Wu Xiufang, who had the most prejudice against her, no longer had a reluctant expression.
He was terribly betrayed by Chen Lijuan—
Zhou Bing regretted that he shouldn't have acted impulsively and ruined such a good situation. He should have been the one with the most influence among the senior employees, but such a favorable advantage has now suddenly fallen into Chen Lijuan's hands!
Zhou Bing thought to himself that if he wanted to achieve something great in the future, he had to change his temper and learn from Chen Lijuan!
Zhou Hongyu felt that Chen Lijuan had been a little too obedient lately.
She asked Chen Lijuan, "Do you want to be the manager of the first branch?"
Chen Lijuan frankly admitted: "There is a suitable place near my husband's home. If I were to become the branch manager there, I would only need to spend three thousand yuan to make the branch earn over ten thousand yuan a month!"
Young people are confident.
Zhou Hongyu chuckled: "What do you think of that place?"
Chen Lijuan was immediately delighted and began analyzing the location she had chosen for her boss...
Zhou Bing stood to the side listening to their conversation, his face devoid of joy.
Aiqiao was a partner he had painstakingly found. While in Guangdong Province, he dreamed of making a name for himself in Beijing by relying on Aiqiao and the store's resources, but Chen Lijuan had already taken the credit!
He boasts that he's practically half the person in charge of the shop, and that he can make decisions even below his aunt.
Turning his head, he saw Chen Lijuan had climbed in front of him.
Zhou Hongyu was very satisfied with Chen Lijuan's analysis. Regardless of Chen Lijuan's ulterior motives, she could indeed make money from it, so it was a good place.
Zhou Hongyu gestured with her chin toward Zhou Bing: "The location is excellent, I agree with your idea, however, Zhou Bing will be sent there to be your assistant store manager!"
Chen Lijuan cried out in distress, "No! Boss, Zhou Bing and I have already left. If anything happens at the store, you'll have to come over in person. Please think it over carefully..."
Zhou Bingxian and Zhou Hongyu interrupted her: "The new employees are alright, but what you're saying makes them seem inhuman! It doesn't matter whether the store has us or not! Besides, opening a new store isn't easy. Even if you're quick, you'll have to wait until after spring. That's plenty of time for them to learn the ropes!"
Chen Lijuan is known for her high efficiency.
She scoffed, "It won't open until after spring. You underestimate me. I still want to generate some traffic for the boss before the Spring Festival!"
Zhou Bing couldn't refute it, and Zhou Hongyu chimed in, "Zhou Bing has to go. No matter how difficult things get at the shop, I'll take care of things. I specifically sent Zhou Bing to keep an eye on you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bing immediately puffed out his chest, his face beaming with pride.
No matter how cunning Chen Lijuan is, she can't compare to the influence her nephew carries in front of the boss.
He's one step ahead of Chen Lijuan!
Zhou Hongyu looked over with a smile, and Chen Lijuan became extremely alert.
It turns out the boss knew she wanted to slack off at the branch!
Oh dear, she was too anxious. She didn't help Zhou Bing when he made a fool of himself. She was too busy showing off in front of the boss.
Now that she has achieved her goal of becoming the store manager of the branch, Zhou Bing, who clearly already harbors resentment towards her, has been forced to come over, and her dream of a wonderful life has been shattered.
Chen Lijuan replied listlessly, "Let him come if he wants, I have no objection."
Zhou Bing glared at her fiercely and said, "I should have gone anyway. If you have a problem with that, you can go too!"
Zhou Hongyu secretly chuckled as she looked at the open lawsuit between the two.
Conflict creates competition. If the two people get along too well, she might worry that her shop won't last long.
After arranging the personnel to be sent to the branch stores in the future, Zhou Hongyu talked with the left and right protectors about the branch store matters, such as buying shops!
Chen Lijuan didn't care.
Even if she helps the boss buy the shop, it only adds to her workload, and the benefits are negligible.
Zhou Bing did think it was necessary to buy a shop, but with the current soaring housing prices, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy elsewhere? Money should be spent wisely.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lijuan immediately jumped out and took on the task.
"The idea for the first branch was mine from beginning to end. If you want to buy it elsewhere, then go ahead and do it yourself! You can open as many branches as you like!"
You'd get better value for your money if you bought it elsewhere!
Who doesn't know that!
Chen Lijuan chose this place entirely for her own convenience!
If the boss listens to Zhou Bing and plans to buy shops elsewhere, then the first branch will definitely not be opened in the place Chen Lijuan prefers.
After all that work, was she just trying to make money for the store?
roll!
Zhou Hongyu made the final decision: "Both of your ideas are good. As the first branch, it would be best to buy the shop. Lijuan, if you close the deal, you'll get a bonus this month!"
Chen Lijuan was finally satisfied; as long as she wasn't working for the boss for free, she was happy to get paid.
"Zhou Bing, I'm sending you to the branch so you can oversee its operations and learn from it. In the future, I hope you can use your experience to help me open more branches. If you find any suitable shops in the meantime, feel free to let me know, and I'll consider it and give you an answer!"
Zhou Bing smiled and nodded, meaning that once the first branch opened, the others wouldn't be far behind.
During his time working at the first branch, he had to study extra hard, since his aunt was still waiting for him to expand the business.
Wen Zhixin quietly walked up to Wu Xiufang and Wang Qiang.
"Hey, what do I hear the boss and the others saying about the branch? Does that mean we're going to have someone sent to work at the branch?"
Wu Xiufang was unwilling to go to the branch store. She knew her own limitations. If she was sent to the branch store and had no chance to perform in front of the boss, she would probably only be able to stay in the branch store in the future.
Who would be content to be just a lowly shop assistant!
Wu Xiufang possesses outstanding physical attributes, but her desires certainly extend beyond that.
Wang Qiang replied, "They probably won't send us to the branch. It looks like they might send either Brother Zhou Bing or Sister Lijuan, since they're capable of handling things on their own! Let's not worry too much!"
Wen Zhixin scanned her very handsome male colleague up and down.
He asked, voicing his confusion: "By the way, Wang Qiang, how old are you? One minute you're calling me Brother Zhou Bing, the next Sister Xiufang, and then Sister Lijuan. It seems like everyone in the store could be your brother or sister!"
Wang Qiang is pretending to be young!
Wang Qiang gave a harmless smile: "I'm twenty this year, I'm used to being called that, don't take it too seriously."
Nineteen-year-old Wen Zhixin: "..."
Then I still have to call you brother!
Zhou Hongyu is gambling on rapidly expanding her business empire in a very short period of time, aiming to open three branches within six months.
She gambles that she can recoup her costs and reap substantial profits before suitable factory buildings become available, thus having enough capital to realize her ambitions.
That day, Mrs. Ke's goods arrived.
As the biggest spender in the store's history, he immediately notified Mrs. Ke.
When Mrs. Ke arrived, Zhou Hongyu was in the shop.
