Inside the No. 1 branch.
"Manager Yang, what brings you here?"
Li Wei, the saleswoman who was minding the store, was startled and greeted him with trepidation.
"I've come over to take a look."
Yang Ju walked into the store and said directly, "Let me see today's sales bill."
"Huh? This..."
Li Wei's expression changed.
But under Yang Ju's intense gaze, she dared not refuse and reluctantly took the ledger.
"Manager Yang, the sales records for this period are all here."
Li Wei's hands were trembling as she held the bill, and her face was frighteningly pale. She didn't dare to look Yang Ju in the eye.
Even though the weather wasn't cold, large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in just a short time.
Yang Ju took the ledger and quickly glanced through it.
Upon seeing this, her face immediately darkened.
The ledger records the daily sales volume and the specific time each bottle was sold.
It is 10:30 a.m.
Based on normal sales volume, after opening for business at eight o'clock in the morning, we can usually sell twenty to thirty bottles in two and a half hours.
But today, only three bottles were sold.
Anyone with half a brain can see that today's sales figures are highly unusual.
"Li Wei, since you joined the company, have you been treated unfairly?" Yang Ju suddenly asked.
"N-no!"
Li Weiyu shook her head and said incoherently, "Boss, General Manager Lin, and Manager Yang, you have all been very good to me."
"Oh? You know the company treats you very well, right?" Yang Ju said meaningfully.
Li Wei's body trembled, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
A moment later, she seemed unable to bear the immense pressure any longer. She retreated to a corner, lowering her voice, and said, "Manager Yang, I...I know I was wrong."
Yang Ju raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued, and asked, "Oh? Where did you go wrong?"
After the main store on Beifeng Street No. 2 and the No. 2 branch on Southwest Street both ran into problems, she guessed that the No. 1 branch would also be unable to escape the same fate.
Now it seems that she and Wang Qian were right after all.
Liu Qingqing's hand also reached here.
"Manager Yang, I... I was momentarily blinded by greed and made some unforgivable mistakes. Please... please forgive me."
As she said this, Li Wei curled up in the corner, tears streaming down her face.
Yang Ju's expression shifted for a moment, then she lowered her voice and said, "Come with me to the back room."
With that, she picked up the account book and walked towards the back room.
Li Wei was trembling with fear, but now it seemed she could only resign herself to fate, and stumbled into the back room.
"Manager Yang, I..."
Just as Li Wei was about to continue her confession, before she could finish speaking, Yang Ju waved her hand and said, "Find a chair and sit down first."
Li Wei's breath hitched.
But under Yang Ju's sharp gaze, she dared not resist. Trembling, she found a chair and sat down, but felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her mind in turmoil.
Yang Ju then opened the latch on the back door, poked her head out, and said, "Brother Qian, Miss He, please come in."
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart leaped into her throat.
She didn't know who Miss He was that Yang Ju was talking about.
But she knew the nickname "Brother Qian" all too well.
If she's not mistaken, it should be Wang Qian, the owner of their Niangui roasted green pepper sauce.
Sure enough, as the back door opened, two people walked in.
One man and one woman.
The man was tall and handsome with deep-set eyes.
The woman was dressed in a sporty casual outfit, looking capable and spirited, proving that women are just as capable as men.
"Boss!"
Li Wei was so frightened that she stood up from her chair, her whole body trembling even more violently.
Is this a sign of a guilty conscience?
Glancing at the trembling Li Wei, He Miaoyin, who had followed, sighed, "It seems you were right after all; this sales clerk has also been bribed by Liu Qingqing."
Wang Qian did not answer, but only looked at Yang Ju.
On the way here, he had already explained the general situation to He Miaoyin.
He wouldn't trust He Miaoyin the way he would trust his own people.
but,
The other party is definitely not from the Liu family.
Most importantly, he agreed to let He Miaoyin be his personal secretary and bodyguard because he wanted to use her keen observation skills to help him observe the people and things around him.
If we want He Miaoyin to integrate as soon as possible, we must let her know the truth.
"Li Wei is indeed suspicious."
Yang Ju sighed, then looked at Li Wei, who was standing there trembling, and said, "The boss is here now, so you can continue."
Li Wei did not answer immediately, but instead sat on the ground with her knees drawn up to her chest, sobbing helplessly.
Wang Qian frowned slightly.
He didn't ask any questions, but instead gave Yang Ju a wink.
He promoted Yang Ju to marketing manager, mainly because he valued her strong marketing abilities.
but,
Having strong personal abilities alone is not enough.
To excel in marketing, one also needs to develop management and interpersonal skills.
"Li Wei, you should know that silence won't solve the problem."
Receiving a cryptic look from Wang Qian, Yang Ju patiently asked, "What exactly did you do?"
Li Wei's expression changed drastically for a moment, and she finally said with a look of self-reproach, "Manager Yang, I... I shouldn't have accepted Liu Qingqing's money and deliberately sabotaged the store's business. I know I was wrong."
"How much money did Liu Qingqing give you?" Yang Ju pressed.
"Twenty thousand! Twenty thousand!"
Li Wei said in a trembling voice, "She came to me last night and kept raising the price, from five thousand to twenty thousand. She also promised to give me eight thousand in cash first. I couldn't resist the temptation, so I... I accepted."
"Liu Qingqing is really willing to go to great lengths to sabotage our company's business!"
Yang Ju smiled and then asked, "What about the money Liu Qingqing gave you?"
"It's in my bag."
As she spoke, she carefully walked to the locker next to her, opened the locker where she kept her things, took out a bag, and then took out a thick wad of cash from the bag.
"Boss, Manager Yang, all the money Liu Qingqing gave me last night is here. I don't dare touch a single penny."
She placed the wad of money on the table in front of Wang Qian and sobbed, "Boss, Manager Yang, I really know I was wrong. Please don't call the police to arrest me."
"I have a question..."
Wang Qian glanced at Li Wei and asked with interest, "Did you suddenly have a change of heart and confess on your own?"
"I……"
Li Wei didn't answer, but instead secretly glanced at Yang Ju.
Yang Ju sighed and handed the ledger she had brought to Wang Qian, "Brother Qian, take a look at today's sales records yourself."
Wang Qian took it and quickly glanced through it.
Sure enough, he quickly discovered the problem.
Today's sales volume is the complete opposite of what it used to be.
"So, you looked at the ledgers, noticed something was wrong, and forced her to tell the truth?"
Wang Qian's face darkened.
A pang of conscience leading to a voluntary confession, and being forced to confess the truth, are two completely different things.
If it's the former, he can let bygones be bygones.
But if it's the latter, then it shouldn't be treated lightly.
