She noticed that I was looking at her straight, and immediately stopped smiling and smoothed her hair at the temples awkwardly.
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
I pretended to be calm and asked, "Boss Liu didn't ask me to come here just to discuss political economics, right?"
She glanced at me and changed the subject: "I heard you are a college student?"
"I guess so, but now I'm just an unemployed worker."
She snorted, "Only people with no future will complain and feel sorry for themselves. What's wrong with being fired? This may be a rare opportunity to change your fate."
I didn't say anything and was scolded by her. I didn't know how to refute her for a moment.
She retracted her sharp tone and recounted her experience of leaving her job at a company with poor performance and starting her own business.
Finally, she said in a concluding tone: "Your destiny is in your own hands. Now you have such an opportunity. Do you want to seize it?"
I'm not stupid. When she described her business history, I already knew she was interested in me.
Of course, they are not interested in me as a person, but in my knowledge and ability.
I answered, “It depends on what the opportunity is.”
Seeing that I was interested in her topic, she asked in a mysterious way, "What do you think of my office?"
"It's more impressive than our factory director's."
She slammed the desk and said decisively, "From today on, it's yours. After passing the interview just now, you are hired as the manager of this store."
I didn't show my expected surprise because it didn't seem real to me.
"Then what are you going to do?"
She said that the government had opened up the right to operate private pharmacies, and that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that she wanted to seize this opportunity and was preparing to open a chain of pharmacies. She had to take care of this business herself, and she couldn't take care of the furniture store, which was the starting point of her fortune, and she felt it would be a pity to transfer it, so she wanted me to manage it for her.
I have to admire her investment vision. As she said, this is also a great opportunity for me to change my situation.
She offered me a monthly salary of RMB 1,000, plus a commission of 1% of sales.
The salary is neither high nor low, and the income is linked to the performance. It can be seen that she has management skills, but also that she is still reserved about me, afraid that I am just a hypocrite.
I accepted it with pleasure because I had full confidence in myself.
Finally, she took out a black pager and pushed it in front of me.
"This is what I used before. Now it's yours. It's convenient for us to contact you."
I pushed it back and said with a red face, "I don't have a telephone at home."
She scowled and scolded me: "You are a manager now, do you have to report every detail of every problem to me?"
I grabbed the pager and put it in my pocket.
In this way, I suddenly became the manager of the largest store in the furniture city.
That night, I told Zhang Fangfang the news. She was as excited as a child who received a gift and gave me a big kiss on the face.
She prepared four elaborate dishes and poured me a glass of wine.
After dinner, while I was washing the dishes, she sat in front of the mirror and dressed up carefully.
She fed the child until he burped, and after coaxing him to sleep, she crawled into the quilt with a red face.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, I tossed and turned with her for half the night, and finally I found the long-lost passion.
After the storm, she nestled in my arms contentedly and suddenly asked me, "What does my food taste like?"
I laughed and told her, "It's sweeter than wine!"
My laughter startled my son, and he started crying in the dark.
Zhang Fangfang gave me a slap and said with a smile, "Why are you making such a loud noise? Look how scared my son is."
The next day, Zhang Fangfang found the suit I wore when I was a groom and asked me to change into it, and urged me to go to work early.
Seeing that I arrived quite early, the boss Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help laughing again. This time, her laugh was more intense, and she bent over with laughter.
It turns out that it's not that she can't laugh, but she hasn't met someone who can make her laugh.
I was so overwhelmed by her laughter that I didn't know what was so funny about me that triggered her laughter mechanism.
After a while, she stopped laughing and wiped away the tears from her eyes with a tissue.
He said to me breathlessly: "Vladimir, I asked you to be a manager, not a bridegroom."
Only then did I realize that it was my clothes that touched her funny spot.
My face turned red with embarrassment. She noticed that I felt embarrassed and took out five hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to me.
I have never asked for anything, and I have never refused to receive anything. An honest person will not accept food given out of pity. I am also a person with higher education, and I still have this integrity.
She stuffed it into my hand and ordered, "I neglected it yesterday. The store requires uniform dress. You must wear a navy blue suit. Go to the clothing store next door and buy a suit. The cost of the suit will be reimbursed. Go!"
Since there is a rule, then my moral integrity has nothing to do with it. I took the money and turned to leave, and I heard her laughing again behind me.
It seems that she is very excited after laughing.
I, Liu Yun, have checked the accounts and inventoried the goods, and I plan to officially take up the position.
I adjusted the horizontal competitive relationship among my employees to a vertical cooperative relationship, forming a chain-like collaboration mechanism. By reducing internal friction and interest binding, we formed a sales team that shared risks and honors and disgraces.
In order to avoid the problem of lack of motivation caused by equal income, I implemented job salary and job rotation, and introduced target management and performance appraisal.
Half a month later, I fired two more employees through the last-in-first-out process and hired two sales experts at high salaries.
One month later, I delivered satisfactory results and sales doubled.
Liu Yun held the report with a smile of appreciation and satisfaction on her face.
After she paid me my reward, she gave me another two thousand yuan.
I was about to refuse, but she yelled, "This is the money I gave to my nephew to buy milk powder. You have no right to refuse!"
No one dislikes money. Several years later, an e-commerce tycoon emerged in China. He publicly stated on the screen that he had “no interest in money.” I smiled, knowing that I would never reach that unattainable state.
I handed the money to Zhang Fangfang, and she was so moved that she cried and laughed at the same time, looking at me with admiration, as if she had found a treasure.
At night, she let me enjoy it motionlessly, and I was completely immersed in the unearned passion. It was also the first time I witnessed her change from crazy to insane, from insane to crazy, and finally completed the most wonderful and perfect time for each other.
Soon, Liu Yun began to discover my greater potential. She began to take me to drinking parties, took me to KTV, and constantly contacted with people from both the government and business circles.
Gradually, her admiration and trust in me turned into love and dependence.
On my son's first birthday, when I left home in the morning, Zhang Fangfang repeatedly told me to go home early in the evening so that her parents could come over to celebrate Guan Ningyu's birthday.
I agreed readily, but as expected, something unexpected happened.
