Zhou Huan wanted to say that he was changing jobs for better salary and benefits, but looking into Lu Fan's eyes, which seemed to see right through him, he couldn't utter a single lie. He nervously swallowed, and finally told the truth:
"Nonsense, isn't it all the fault of the Lu family?"
"Mr. Lu, let me tell you, your Lu Group has really made a huge grudge against Shengjing Company. I just arranged for the products to be listed, and they already knew about it."
Knowing the news wasn't enough; Shengjing Company didn't inform Zhou Huan, but instead took the matter to its headquarters.
The board members, who usually argue about even the smallest things for ten days or half a month, were surprisingly swift and decisive this time.
After confirming with Zhou Huan that this was indeed the case, the matter of putting the product on the shelves was put on hold.
They were afraid that being late would offend the wealthy and powerful Shengjing Company.
However, Zhou Huan is the general manager of Guangyuan Supermarket in Hongxin Plaza. If the lease renewal issue isn't resolved, the head office will hold him responsible.
You've never seen a donkey pulling a millstone get beaten up. If you block the renewal of the lease, do you expect the new landlord to give you the green light and rush to sign a renewal contract?
Although they had only met once, based on Zhou Huan's understanding of Lu Fan, the latter was definitely not someone who ran a charity.
As a result, not only did Zhou Huan's year-end bonus disappear early, but the head office also demoted him.
The downgrade documents are still under review. If Zhou Huan doesn't run away now, when will he?
Who knew that the very next day, the company he was interviewing with would be the same one Lu Fan worked for? It was truly a twist of fate.
Zhou Huan sighed, but Lu Fan looked at him with a half-smile:
"What do you mean I have a grudge against Shengjing Company? They were the ones who actively sought trouble with me!"
He flipped through Zhou Huan's resume and found nothing wrong with it. For a newly established supermarket, he was a suitable talent.
Just as Lu Fan was about to call him over to discuss salary with the HR department, Zhou Huan quietly raised his hand:
"Um, Mr. Lu, can I discuss something with you?"
Lu Fan nodded with his chin: "Speak, what is it?"
Zhou Huan swallowed nervously:
"You met Zhang Hong last time, right? If I can stay here and work here, could Zhang Hong come and work with me too?"
"He worked as my assistant for two years and also drove for two years. He's quite strong."
Zhang Hong was Zhou Huan's old classmate after all. Zhou Huan was about to leave Guangyuan Supermarket because he couldn't keep his job, and he was also afraid of newcomers. After taking office, he used Zhang Hong as a test case.
After all, he was a confidant of the former leader, and no one would be so magnanimous as to keep Zhang Hong around to cause them trouble.
So even though Zhou Huan was leaving, he still wanted to arrange something for his old classmate.
Lu Fan thought about Zhang Hong's big mouth, which wasn't as useful as Zhou Huan's, and said with a rather disdainful tone:
"What, he's still working as your assistant?"
Zhou Huan chuckled awkwardly, "It's fine whether you do it or not. Anyway, you've met him. Apart from being a bit of a smooth talker, he's actually quite honest and kind."
After all, it's still uncertain whether I'll pass the interview or not, so I'm just hoping that my new employer will arrange a driver for me.
That's unrealistic!
Lu Fan pondered for a moment.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Hong's big mouth, Lu Fan wouldn't have gotten the idea to build his own retail supermarket.
Moreover, the "blacklist" provided by Zhang Hong saved Lü Qiuyi a lot of trouble. So, remembering this lingering affection, Lu Fan decided to give Zhang Hong a chance:
“I don’t need a driver here, and you don’t need an assistant. Isn’t Zhang Hong eloquent? He can work in the sales department or the publicity department.”
No matter which department he went to, at least he had a job. Zhou Huan quickly thanked Lu Fan again and again on behalf of his old classmate.
After that, the interviews were still handled by Jiang Manyue, and Lu Fan no longer interfered.
In the end, Jiang Manyue gave Lu Fan four resumes, enough for him to start operating his supermarket:
"The HR department is stepping up recruitment for staff and such."
middle."
"These are the branch manager candidates I have in mind. As the general manager, you should do some further screening."
Lu Fan took the resumes from the group of people but did not intend to continue interviewing them that day.
At this time, Lü Qiuyi's assistant had already sent him the information on the companies and shops involved in the previous acquisition.
Lu Fan took the documents and called Jiang Manyue over to look at them together.
These are all shops that Lü Qiuyi selected after comparison and screening to be suitable for building a chain supermarket.
There are about twenty or thirty stores, seven or eight of which belong to a small chain supermarket called "Hao Zai Lai".
Jiang Manyue tapped on his name and smiled at Lu Fan, saying, "Come and take a look."
Lu Qiuyi initially negotiated the acquisition under the title of legal counsel for the real estate company.
Lu Fan acquired several small supermarkets under his name for more than 30 million yuan.
He didn't see anything wrong with the document. Jiang Manyue, who had more experience in the business world, lightly traced a line of text with her fingernail. Jiang Manyue considered her own opinion:
"The reason this supermarket chain failed to continue operating was not only due to chaotic accounting and poor management."
"I think the most important reason is that it can no longer develop."
