Wu Yushan had originally planned to call Zhou Yuanyuan after returning to the store to discuss Ma Yulian's situation. Now that Zhou Yuanyuan was at the store, she could skip the call. This was a long story, and it would be easier to explain it in person than over the phone.
"Ms. Ma, please follow Xiaoqin to another reception room and sit for a while. I will say hello to Miss Yuanyuan first, and then talk to you about the store." Wu Yushan nodded at the middle-aged woman, Ma Yulian, and walked quickly towards the reception room where Zhou Yuanyuan was.
"Manager Wu, wait for me." Although Ma Yulian was a little fat, she was very agile. While speaking, she had twisted her fat body to catch up with Wu Yushan's footsteps, and successfully grabbed Wu Yushan's arm with her fat hand.
Ma Yulian had heard Zhou Yuanyuan's name mentioned many times by the people at Yunyun Company. Even Zhao Yunxiang was full of praise when she spoke of her daughter. Ma Yulian was curious. What kind of girl could deserve such praise from the usually modest Zhao Yunxiang? What if it wasn't for Zhou Yuanyuan's guidance, Yunyun Clothing would never have been created? Even if a teenager had good grades and was a little smarter than the average person, how smart could she be? And Yunyun's flower tea... could such a unique thing really be obtained by a teenager like Zhou Yuanyuan?
"Ms. Ma, this isn't a good idea!" Wu Yushan frowned. Ever since Zhao Yunxiang had approached Wu Yushan this afternoon about wanting Ma Yulian to learn store management from her, Ma Yulian had been clinging to her like a stick, as if she was afraid she'd leave her alone. This really annoyed Wu Yushan.
"Manager Wu, Miss Yuanyuan is the daughter of sister Yunxiang, right? Sister Yunxiang and I have such a good relationship, but I have never found a chance to meet Yuanyuan! Since we met here today, I should go and see her for both emotional and logical reasons!" Ma Yulian's voice was full of provocation, which made Wu Yushan's face turn black with anger.
"Ms. Ma, this isn't very appropriate! How about... I ask Miss Yuanyuan if she wants to see you first?" Wu Yushan looked at the fat hand that was tightly grasping her arm and tried to pull it away. Ma Yulian's fingers were holding tightly, and Wu Yushan couldn't pull her hand back.
"Oh~! Manager Wu, what's inappropriate? Sister Yunxiang and I are like sisters, and her daughter is almost the same as my daughter. Or do you, Manager Wu, not like me and are deliberately stopping me?" Ma Yulian's voice was exaggerated and artificial, as if she was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan in the reception room couldn't hear it.
Zhou Yuanyuan frowned.
Zhou Yuanyuan instinctively disliked Ma Yulian. This fat woman was thick-skinned and had a way with her words. What was that "isn't Sister Yunxiang's daughter just like her daughter?" She was so shameless! She unceremoniously put herself on the same level as Zhao Yunxiang?
Most importantly, Zhou Yuanyuan felt from Ma Yulian that she looked down upon Wu Yushan.
Wu Yushan was a long-time employee at Yunyun, known for her diligence and dedication. Even Zhou Yuanyuan, upon seeing Wu Yushan, would respectfully address her as "Auntie Shan." She couldn't bear the way Ma Yulian treated Wu Yushan.
"Ma Yulian, Mr. Zhao asked you to come to the store to learn from me. You don't need to tell me how to do things or what to do. Otherwise, I can't afford to have you as my 'apprentice'. Or, do you want to go back to the factory and work for Mr. Zhao?" Wu Yushan was impatient. She had always given in to Ma Yulian, not because she was afraid of this woman, but because she didn't want to put Zhao Yunxiang in a difficult position.
In Wu Yushan's opinion, Ma Yulian's eloquence was the reason Zhao Yunxiang always trusted her. In fact, whether Ma Yulian was a human or a ghost was still unclear. Wu Yushan believed that Ma Yulian would reveal her true colors one day.
"Manager Wu, I just..." Ma Yulian continued to talk at length to explain herself. Zhou Yuanyuan did not listen because Miss Zhu Xiaojuan had already changed her clothes and walked out of the dressing room.
"Yuanyuan, how about it? Does this dress look good on me? Why do I feel like I look taller after wearing it?" Zhu Xiaojuan asked Zhou Yuanyuan for her opinion while looking in the mirror.
"Hmm~! Sister Xiaojuan, you are right. This style of dress does make you look taller." Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhu Xiaojuan who was spinning in front of the mirror and gave a pertinent comment.
Zhu Xiaojuan wore a white sleeveless top with a small lapel. The tight waistband perfectly hugged her slender waist. She wore a long, pleated skirt with bright red polka dots on a white background. The dots grew larger as they moved down the length of the skirt, reaching just below her ankles. This made her, who was only 1.6 meters tall, look like she was 1.62 meters tall.
"Okay, I'll definitely buy this one later, and then I'll go try on some other ones." Zhu Xiaojuan happily continued trying on new clothes. You know, being only 1.6 meters tall has always been a hidden pain in Zhu Xiaojuan's heart! Wearing it makes her look taller, and Zhu Xiaojuan can even wake up smiling in her dreams.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
Zhou Yuanyuan turned around and looked outside. Ma Yulian was no longer there. Wu Yushan mouthed to Zhou Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, can I come in?"
"Auntie Shan." Zhou Yuanyuan waved happily.
Wu Yushan pushed open the glass door and walked in.
"Yuanyuan, I want to tell you something. President Zhao has been acting a little strangely lately, and I suspect she has been deceived." When Wu Yushan saw Zhou Yuanyuan, she didn't say anything polite, but went straight to the point and said this.
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised. Zhao Yunxiang had been in Kyoto for over ten years, and had built Yunyun Clothing from nothing to a multi-million dollar annual profit. Someone like Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't be easily deceived, right?
"That Ma Yulian is the one gossiping around Mr. Zhao all day long, all about how we need to join forces in business! She's trying to get Mr. Zhao to marry a daughter-in-law of equal status, or else she's telling him that the domestic market is so huge, it would be a huge loss for us to just have franchise stores and not open directly-operated stores in other cities. Bah! What does she know? This franchise store is our Yunyun's first creation, and it's also our company's best sales channel in China."
Speaking of this, Wu Yushan was furious. The idea of opening franchise stores for Yunyun Clothing in various provinces and cities across China originated from Zhou Yuanyuan.
Over the years, Wu Yushan has worked hard to turn Zhou Yuanyuan's vision into reality.
