Hearing that Chen Zhe was going to personally train her, Li Tianci and Zhang Yuan were furious, but they couldn't do anything about it. For now, they just needed to avoid expelling Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan was taken away by Chen Zhe, and Hao Li, with a forced smile, introduced them to another technician.
The argument finally came to an end.
Back in her office, Hao Li's tone became even more earnest. She had initially thought this young man was incompetent, but to her surprise, he resolved the dispute in just a few words.
"Manager Chen, you were really amazing just now. You pretended to fire Yuanyuan and attracted all their attention. I never thought of such a good idea. No wonder you became a manager."
When Yuanyuan heard that the other party was faking her dismissal, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful; "Manager Chen, you really scared me just now. You mustn't do that again next time."
Hao Li came over to comfort Yuan Yuan; "How could that be? But how could our store's top performer fire you so easily? Manager Chen was just joking earlier. But you too, why didn't you arrange your time properly? After you make an appointment with this client, don't get too entangled with another client. This isn't the first or second time this has happened. You have to be more careful next time."
Yuanyuan, like a child who often listens to her parents' lectures, let it go in one ear and out the other, her tone full of perfunctory: "I know, Sister Li, I know. You've said it so many times, what can I do? They all come to me, so it's normal that sometimes I can't keep up with the schedule, isn't it?"
"You're right, but let's try to adjust it anyway."
"Alright, alright, I got it. If there's nothing else, I'll head out!"
Yuanyuan turned to leave, but the moment she turned, Chen Zhe, who was sitting in his office chair, slammed his hand on the table.
Did I tell you to leave?
His loud voice startled both women.
Yuanyuan clutched her ample chest and complained, "Why are you being so fierce? If you don't want to go out, then don't go out. Just say what you want to say. I'm here to work, not to be a slave."
Relying on her large clientele, Yuanyuan showed no fear of her colleagues or superiors. She could act pitiful in front of her clients, but once she returned to her colleagues, her true colors would be revealed. The pride and disdain in her eyes were unsettling to those around her.
Hao Li had talked to her about it before, but after a few times, she simply pretended to be sick and didn't come to work. She was the top performer here, and if she didn't come to work, she would lose a lot of customers. In the end, Hao Li had no choice but to give in.
After this back and forth, Hao Li lost all authority in their eyes. Other colleagues saw that Hao Li had given in and didn't dare to provoke her, since she knew many clients, and each of them had a complicated background.
Chen Zhe sneered, stood up with his arms crossed, and stared directly at Yuan Yuan.
"Do you think you're pretty amazing? Do you think all the customers here are here because of you?"
When questioned by Chen Zhe, Yuan Yuan didn't feel the same fear she had shown outside. Instead, she proudly straightened her chest.
"You might be new here, so you don't understand. I can't say that all of them are here because of me, but at least half of my clients are brought in by me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Li."
Hao Li nodded somewhat awkwardly.
The top salesperson had a conflict with the new manager, and she didn't know which side to take.
"Heh, okay, even if you're right, you brought in half of the customers here, but I'm the manager, and I have the right to decide whether you stay or leave. Don't you think it's very improper of you to talk to me like that?"
Yuanyuan didn't really think that Hao Li's long-term tolerance gave her enough confidence.
"If you really want to fire me, you should think it over carefully. I don't necessarily need to work here. The Paradise Club across the street is also hiring. I can guarantee that if I leave, you will definitely lose a lot of customers!"
Yuanyuan was confident because the people there had sent someone to talk to her and promised her a higher salary. She was still hesitant because although the salary was higher, the services there seemed to be a bit more suggestive, which was why she didn't go.
But if the new manager really wants to fire her, then there's nothing she can do.
Hao Li was a little scared after hearing this. The Paradise on Earth across the street was their biggest competitor. If their top performer really went there, they would suffer a huge loss.
"Manager Chen, please don't fire Yuanyuan, please give me some face..."
Chen Zhe did not intend to fire Yuan Yuan, after all, the facts were clear: a large portion of the customers came here because of her. However, Chen Zhe did not intend to continue to encourage her arrogance, so he planned to dampen her spirits.
"I don't like firing people. You think you're the top salesperson, right? Well, I was the top salesperson in the East District before. How about we have a competition?"
Both women were stunned when they heard Chen Zhe's words.
They didn't really know this, but Hao Li did know one thing: the customers served in the East District were mostly women. Chen Zhe might have been the top salesman before, but the customers here were mostly men. He couldn't possibly win. If he lost, how embarrassing would it be for him? And if he lost face, would he cause trouble for her?
With that in mind, Hao Li said tactfully, "Manager, would you like to reconsider? We have a lot of male customers here..."
After a moment of surprise, Yuanyuan realized what was going on; "Haha, that's right, I advise you to think it over carefully. If you really want to compete with me, I'm not afraid of you. I'm just afraid that someone will refuse to admit defeat when they lose."
"I never said I wanted to compete with you. I'm the manager now, you're not qualified to compete with me. I'm planning to find a technician here to compete with you, that would be fair, is that okay?"
Yuanyuan smiled. She knew perfectly well what level of technicians were working here.
"Okay! What are you planning to compete in?"
"A tipping contest, limited to ten days, whoever gets the most tips wins."
"No problem! But I have one more condition: if I win, I get to keep all the tips!"
The tipping rules at Linglong Club are all the same: a portion of the tips will be set aside and shared equally among the other people. Yuanyuan had been unhappy about this before, as she felt that she was always the one giving to those people.
"No problem! If I win, you have to do whatever I tell you to do, and you're not allowed to talk back!"
Yuanyuan clutched her chest and gave Chen Zhe a strange look.
[Could this guy be after my body? But... he can't win!]
"Okay! No problem!"
The agreement was reached just like that. Hao Li, standing to the side, covered her forehead in exasperation. She was already worried that Chen Zhe might make things difficult for her if he lost.
After all the technicians on the fifth floor finished their shifts that evening, Hao Li gathered them together. There were more than 30 technicians in total, and each of them had a top-notch figure and appearance. Anyone who could make it to the fifth floor was good-looking.
In order to prevent Chen Zhe from losing too badly, Hao Li deliberately introduced him to several girls who had good performance records.
Chen Zhe glanced at them; they were indeed very good-looking, but if they were to win, it wouldn't completely convince Yuan Yuan. So he chose the one with the worst performance, a girl who looked innocent and had a somewhat timid look in her eyes.
When Yuanyuan and Haoli saw the person Chen Zhe had chosen, one was overjoyed, and the other was extremely worried.
Hao Li came over and pulled Chen Zhe aside.
"Manager Chen, would you like to reconsider?"
Chen Zhe was very confident in himself; "No need, she's the one!"
Chen Zhe walked up to the girl; "Your name is Xiao Dingdong, right?"
The girl looked at Chen Zhe timidly, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Chen Zhe frowned slightly; "Why aren't you answering me?"
Xiao Dingdong looked troubled.
At this moment, Hao Li walked over and said to Chen Zhe somewhat awkwardly, "Manager Chen, Xiao Dingdong is mute, she can't speak."
Chen Zhe: "..."
