Chapter 480 Finale
Normal companies have seven days off during the Chinese New Year, but department stores are obviously not normal companies.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xiaoxiao got up from the kang with dark circles under her eyes and went to work.
There's nothing we can do about it, since they are in the service industry. I heard that General Manager Yan had to work hard to get these three days off.
So, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the department store went to work with complaints.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the department store, she met an unexpected person.
Liu Changjiang was wearing a suit and tie, with his short hair combed shiny, looking like a successful man.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, his eyes flashed with pride: "Comrade Su, long time no see."
"I just came back from Hong Kong. Do you know Hong Kong? Those who go there to spend money are all rich people."
Liu Changjiang's face was full of pride.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him, but this man was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to her and wouldn't let go.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Comrade Su. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have left the department store and started my own business now."
As he spoke, he pretended to take out a business card from his pocket and said, "Comrade Su, I'm now engaged in clothing wholesale and I'm my own boss. If you need to buy clothes, you can come to me and I'll give you a discount."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him: "Sorry, Comrade Liu, please let me go. I'm going to be late for work."
After she finished speaking, she walked quickly inside.
Liu Changjiang narrowed his eyes and looked at her back, with a slight sneer on his lips.
He is a big boss now and looks down on a clown like Su Xiaoxiao.
Just being a lousy sales manager, do you really think you're a big shot?
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he went straight to the general manager's office.
Yan Guohua was busy at his desk. He looked up when he heard the voice and saw it was him. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's up?"
Liu Changjiang ignored his attitude, pulled a chair and sat down, crossing his legs: "General Manager, I came to discuss a business with you."
Yan Guohua frowned and looked at him: "What business?"
This Liu Changjiang is not serious at work. What business can you discuss with him?
Just as Yan Guohua was thinking about this, he heard Liu Changjiang slowly say, "I'm in the clothing business now. I can get the latest clothes from Hong Kong City. These are all best-selling styles. You can't get them without connections."
"If our department store buys the goods from me, I can give you a 10% discount on top of our usual purchase price."
Department stores need a lot of clothing every season, and a 10% discount is also a considerable expense.
only……
Yan Guohua was not completely convinced about Liu Changjiang.
After all, this person has never seemed very reliable.
"Wait for me to think about it and give you an answer in three days."
Yan Guohua pondered for a moment and gave an answer.
This is no small matter. If anything goes wrong, he might lose his position as general manager.
We still need to call all departments to discuss before making a decision.
"Okay, General Manager, please consider it. However, I can only give you one day to consider it. After all, there's more than one department store in our city, and the others are very interested in my proposal. If it weren't for our relationship, I would have found someone else to cooperate with long ago."
After Liu Changjiang finished speaking, he swaggered away.
Su Xiaoxiao just came out of the office and met him face to face.
I was a little puzzled when I saw him coming out of the general manager's office.
Is this guy going to do something weird again?
Thinking of this, she subconsciously followed him.
As soon as I arrived at the first floor lobby, I ran into Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang.
When the two saw her and were about to say hello, they saw Su Xiaoxiao making a gesture to silence them.
The two of them immediately understood and followed quietly.
Seeing a well-dressed man in front of them, they both showed curiosity.
"Xiaoxiao, who is this person?"
Zhang Yulan asked doubtfully.
"Didn't you recognize him? This man is our former sales manager, Liu Changjiang."
When Zhang Yulan heard it was Liu Changjiang, her brows immediately furrowed. "Didn't he go to Gangcheng for business? What is he doing in our department store?"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard her say this, she obviously knew something.
Qin Shuang and the others all turned their eyes to Zhang Yulan.
Zhang Yulan did not hide anything and immediately told everyone what she knew.
"Are you saying that your ex-husband has also been doing business in Gangcheng recently, or is he in partnership with Liu Changjiang?"
Su Xiaoxiao immediately felt that something was wrong.
These two together are a black-hearted and rotten-lung combination, and they definitely have no good intentions.
"Sister Zhang, has your ex-husband behaved abnormally recently?"
Zhang Yulan thought for a moment and said, "Nothing else, except that he has approached many relatives recently, saying he wants to take them into business."
"You two keep an eye on him. I'm going to go find the general manager."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Sure enough, when I went to the general manager's office to ask, I found out that Liu Changjiang was also there to discuss business.
She immediately became alert.
"General Manager, you didn't agree to him, did you?"
Yan Guohua shook his head: "No."
"That's good. Let's see what he's going to do. I suspect they're trying to commit a scam."
"Fraud?"
Yan Guohua's face immediately darkened.
This Liu Changjiang was indeed full of bad intentions. If he had not been more cautious, he would have almost been fooled.
"General Manager, I've asked Sister Zhang and Shuangshuang to help me keep an eye on them. We should have news by the evening party."
Yan Guohua nodded: "If this man really has bad intentions, I will personally send him to the police."
Because of the old general manager, Yan Guohua had always taken good care of Liu Changjiang, but now he was determined to sacrifice his personal interests for the greater good.
The two of them waited until noon.
Qin Shuang ran back panting: "Xiaoxiao, you guessed it right. Liu Changjiang's business is not a legitimate business at all. It's true that his clothes came from Gangcheng, but those clothes were taken from dead bodies. They are not new styles at all..."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately realized, "Isn't this just like modern foreign garbage? I didn't expect it to have a prototype now?"
This Liu Changjiang is indeed not a good guy.
Yan Guohua immediately reported the case to the Public Security Bureau without hesitation. Three days later, Liu Changjiang was caught red-handed during the transaction.
When the buyer found out where Liu Changjiang got the clothes, he was so angry that he almost beat him into a pig's head.
If the police hadn't stopped him on the spot, he would have been beaten so badly that he wouldn't even recognize his own mother.
Liu Changjiang was arrested, but Zhang Yulan's ex-husband escaped. It was said that he ran to Gangcheng.
At the beginning of the year, a red-headed document was issued from above, officially confirming the specific date of the college entrance examination, which was December of that year.
Su Xiaoxiao began to work while preparing for the exam.
Although she is also a top student in a key university now, the time gap is too long and she has to start all over again.
Fortunately, she had a good foundation and it was very easy to pick it up.
Time flies and it’s the college entrance examination. The examination venue is a high school in the county town.
Su Wenbing was afraid that she would be tired from riding her bike all the way, so he took a leave of absence to send her to the college entrance examination.
Before leaving in the morning, Liu Cuilan put two eggs in her pocket in a mysterious manner, saying that they could help her get full marks in the exam.
Even when she left, Liu Cuilan was still muttering and praying to gods and Buddhas.
Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to tell her mother that this was all feudal superstition, but seeing that Liu Cuilan was even more nervous than her, she gave up the idea.
Compared to the excitement and nervousness of the whole family, Su Xiaoxiao was very calm. After all, it was not her first time in the examination room.
In modern times, she has experienced countless exams of all sizes. Relatively speaking, this exam is nothing to her.
There were all kinds of problems in the examination room.
Some people spilled ink onto the paper because their pens didn't hold ink, some had stomachaches, and some suddenly fell down with an epilepsy. The whole place was in chaos.
Su Xiaoxiao answered the questions seriously and was not affected at all throughout the whole process.
She felt that compared to the modern college entrance examination, this one was much easier...
In February of the following year, Su Xiaoxiao received an admission notice from Peking University. Liu Cuilan was so excited that she almost fainted on the spot.
By the time Su Xiaoxiao went to report, almost the whole family went to see her off.
Looking at the school sign in front of her that was once so familiar, Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. After crossing time, she came to the same place again.
A new journey is about to begin.
