Chapter 26 Two Choices
"Having talked about the card department, now let's talk about the private training department."
"Last week, Liu Xinyan, Feng Yong, and Zhong Weijian all exceeded their weekly sales targets, and most personal trainers also received orders last week."
"But, Cheng Yuxin, Gao Canliang, and Weng Shunshun, you three didn't place any orders last Monday!"
"What? Do you want to be fired like that Fang Yu?"
"Especially you, Cheng Yuxin. On Saturday and Sunday, three of the clients Fang Yu transferred to you came to cancel the course!"
"What do you want to do?"
"You're a traitor, aren't you? I'm telling you! If you don't want to do this, get out! There are plenty of people in the Great Zhou who can do this..."
Sun Yang rarely went to the store in the mornings, as there were few people around and little to do. But today was Tuesday, and every Tuesday morning at 9:30, all Chaoyue stores had a morning meeting, and the minutes had to be recorded and sent back to Chaoyue headquarters.
The Joy City store has performed well this month. Thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival promotion, its monthly sales exceeded 1.8 million. Now there is still a week left before the end of the month. If we work hard, we should be able to break the monthly sales record of 2.5 million.
Cheng Yuxin's pretty face turned red and white when Sun Yang scolded her. If Liu Xinyan beside her hadn't been holding her hand to signal her not to act rashly, with her temper, she would have just said "I quit" and left.
"This month is the last month of Q3, and there's only one week left. No one is allowed to let me down! Especially the few people I just named..."
At the entrance of the Joy City store, Sun Yang was scolding the store employees standing in three rows in a domineering and eloquent manner. Halfway through his scolding, he heard his cell phone ringing.
Sun Yang took out his phone and quickly answered it: "Boss, eh, yes, I'm in a morning meeting, uh-huh. Going back to the company? What do you want to do... Okay, okay, I'll be right back."
Sun Yang hung up the phone, waved his hand, told all employees to disperse and do what they needed to do, went back to the office, got his car keys and left.
Weird, why is my boss so anxious for me to return to the company? And he sounds like he's in a bad mood...
The Joy City store is not far from the Chaoyue headquarters, with a straight-line distance of no more than five kilometers. However, there are many traffic lights, so Sun Yang's Audi A6 stopped and started many times, and it took half an hour to get to the Min'an Building where Chaoyue Company is located.
As soon as he entered the company, Sun Yang felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
He has followed Chaoyue's boss Mada for more than ten years, and before that he was Mada's driver. There are few people in the company that Sun Yang is not familiar with.
In the past, when people at the headquarters saw him, they would say hello no matter how close their relationship was.
But today, Sun Yang met a few colleagues from the headquarters on the road. They saw him as if he were the plague god. They nodded only when they had no choice but to avoid him, and then quickly moved away.
"Manager Sun, you're back? President Chai told me that when she saw you, she asked you to go to her office first." Sun Yang was stopped by the front desk as soon as he entered the company.
"Boss Chai?" Sun Yang was startled. "My boss just called me and asked me to come back."
What does that woman Chai Ling want from me? How strange.
The receptionist shook her head: "Then I don't know, anyway, it was Mr. Chai's order."
Sun Yang's eyelids twitched twice: "Okay, I understand. By the way, is the boss here?"
The receptionist smiled and said, "You should go see Ms. Chai first. She's in her office, just go in directly."
Sun Yang's heart was beating fast. He walked to the door of Chai Ling's office, knocked, and before the person inside could say anything, he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sister Ling, Xiaowei just told me you were looking for me? What's up? The third quarter is almost over, and I'm in a meeting with my staff, and I have to see the boss soon. Oh, and I'm planning a group trip after the Mid-Autumn Festival rush, and I've invited you too. Did Xiaosong tell you?"
As soon as he entered the room, Sun Yang sat down on the chair opposite Chai Ling, his eyes uncontrollably wandering around Chai Ling.
Chai Ling's office wasn't big, only about seven or eight square meters, and her desk was just an ordinary corner desk. The walls were covered with charts and graphs, and along the walls were rows of overflowing filing cabinets.
Chai Ling is Chaoyue’s chief financial officer, in charge of finance, personnel, and administration, and is considered the company’s housekeeper.
Chai Ling and Ma Da haven't been together as long as Sun Yang, but it's still seven or eight years.
From a receptionist at a small company with only a dozen people to the second-in-command of a group company with thousands of employees, Chai Ling is certainly capable.
But more importantly, she is now Mada's concubine.
Deep down, Sun Yang looked down on Chai Ling.
What's so great about that, little girl? You're just here to sleep with someone.
I have been with the boss for thirteen years. I came here just a few years after Chaoyue started its business. How many years have you only been here?
After a few years, you become a shrew and are kicked out by your boss. Then let’s see if you can still be so powerful.
However, this woman is indeed charming.
Chai Ling is from Ying County, Ezhou. After graduating from junior college, she joined Chaoyue.
Most girls in Ezhou have good skin, and Chai Ling is no exception.
Although she is in her early thirties, her skin is still tender and moist, and her eyes and eyebrows are charming. Every time Sun Yang sees Chai Ling, he feels very itchy in his heart.
Unfortunately, the boss got there first.
"Manager Sun, let's get down to business." Chai Ling's face was as calm as water as she handed Sun Yang a stack of documents.
"Look at this."
Sun Yang took the document and casually opened the first page. After reading a few lines, his face changed drastically.
"Sister Ling, what do you mean?" Sun Yang said with a stiff smile, "Are you investigating me?"
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself.”
Chai Ling had a blank expression on her face, but if you looked closely, you could easily spot a hint of contempt in the corners of her eyes.
"I've been following the boss for so many years! You're actually checking on me!?"
Sun Yang was furious, using his anger to mask his fear.
“This is slander!”
Sun Yang slammed a stack of documents onto Chai Ling's desk. "I called my boss. How dare you use such despicable means to frame me?"
"Manager Sun, it's boring when you say that."
"We've verified that there are 342 memberships within the past two years, with a total amount exceeding 1.1 million. Do you want me to check each membership with you one by one?"
Chai Ling held the pen in her hand, her rosy lips opening and closing gently, but the words she said made Sun Yang's heart sink.
"You activate dead cards and rename them and sell them to new students, and the new customers' money goes directly into your personal account."
"Yes, Chaoyue has 18 stores in Haixi. The other store managers may not be clean either, but none of them are as brave as you."
"342 in two years, that's an average of one every two days. And that's only the ones verified in the past two years. You've been the store manager for three and a half years. The previous accounts aren't in the system, so I won't settle with you."
"This is slander! These cards were activated normally, what does it have to do with me?" Sun Yang naturally couldn't plead guilty easily, so he could only deny it.
Sun Yang's method is actually very crude, it is nothing more than making a fuss about the "dead card".
In today's Zhou Dynasty, the fitness industry basically requires membership fees. Generally speaking, new customers are required to pay one or two years of membership fees in advance. The cheapest ones are more than one thousand yuan a year, and most gyms charge two to three thousand yuan a year for membership.
But among these new customers who have signed up for the card, perhaps less than one-tenth can actually stick to exercising.
A gym with a 24-hour capacity of about 300 people and sells 3,000 memberships a year may still have the same old faces in the gym every day, and the equipment area may not be fully stocked.
Fifty to sixty percent of people may never go again after going three or four times, and the membership cards of these customers will be called dead cards.
From a financial perspective, the money on a dead card is actually a liability.
The membership fee exceeds 2,400 yuan a year, and this debt must be spread over 12 months, with only 200 yuan to be digested each month.
But from a practical point of view, this money is cash flow, which is net profit!
It is this part of the profit that Sun Yang is eyeing.
Sun Yang used the store manager's authority to activate many dead cards that had only been used a few times, and asked membership consultants to sell them to new customers, because new customers would most likely not come back after a few days of practice.
According to the incentive policy, new customers must give membership consultants bonuses, but due to the high turnover of membership consultants, and the fact that Sun Yang would not settle the bonuses for membership consultants on the grounds that they had not worked for less than three months, this money was saved.
If he really encounters an old customer who has stopped training for a long time and comes back to train again, Sun Yang will transfer the other dead card to this old customer in the background.
It has been going on like this for two or three years, and surprisingly, it hasn't failed.
"Whether it's slander or not, you know it clearly. I called you here today and you have two choices. One, return the money and wait for the company to handle it. Two, call the police. This is a typical case of job embezzlement."
"You choose."
