Yan Ning thought for a moment, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if we trained her as a reserve store manager?
What if she resigned before we even opened a branch? Losing a talented person is not a big deal.
The people we carefully nurtured ended up being used to help others. Have you thought about how to deal with this?"
She will definitely not consider opening a branch within this year, and will consider it next year at the latest.
There is still a long time to go, and Yan Ning doesn't think that someone who is capable of being a store manager would be willing to be a reserve store manager in a jewelry store for more than a year.
"This..." Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, "I really didn't think so much at the time. So, Mr. Yan, what do you mean?"
Yan Ning: "Where is she now?"
“Training on it with the store staff.”
Yan Ning said, "Let's go up and see how the staff training is going."
The two went up to the second floor, which was a suite with four bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms.
At this time, there were two men and five women in the living room attending classes and training.
Jiang Yan knocked on the door twice and then pushed it open.
The group of people in the living room heard the sound and turned their heads to look at the door.
Because Yan Ning had specifically instructed that the store clerks should give priority to young and good-looking people.
So at first glance, all seven of them are handsome men and beautiful women, each with their own unique characteristics.
Yan Ning entered the living room, and Jiang Yan followed him in.
The teacher who was teaching the training class stopped teaching when he saw Jiang Yan come in. "Assistant Jiang, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Yan smiled and introduced to everyone: "This is Mr. Yan, the owner of our jewelry store.
Mr. Yan came here today to check on everyone’s training situation.”
The training teacher looked at Yan Ning and said, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
The seven shop assistants also stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
Yan Ning smiled at everyone, "Hello everyone, everyone already knows the store opening time,
I hope you can master all the jewelry knowledge and sales skills before opening your business.
Especially when it comes to knowledge about jewelry, at least you should be able to speak it fluently when customers ask.”
The seven shop assistants responded one after another: "Okay, Mr. Yan, don't worry, we will definitely study hard."
Yan Ning looked at the training teacher and said, "Thank you for your help."
"Mr. Yan, it's no trouble. This is my job." The training teacher said politely.
Yan Ning turned his head to look at Jiang Yan, signaled with his eyes, and then left the room.
Jiang Yan said to one of the female shop assistants, "Zhao Tong, please come out for a moment."
The other shop assistants turned their heads and looked at the mature woman named Zhao Tong.
She was wondering what Assistant Jiang asked her to do.
The other four female shop assistants were only 23 or 24 years old, and the one named Zhao Tong looked to be around 27 or 28 years old.
Her mature face seemed somewhat out of place compared to the other four young-looking female shop assistants.
Zhao Tong stood up calmly and left the room.
One of the female shop assistants whispered, "Our boss looks like he's only 17 or 18 years old. I didn't expect him to start his own business so young."
Another female clerk chimed in, "Yeah! He looks too young."
One of the very cold young girls said lightly: "What's wrong with being young? Mr. Yan has the ability.
Her design won first prize at the Paris Jewelry Competition last year.
Even the famous Master Bernard admired her works very much.
Although Mr. Yan is young, he has already reached the top."
The other shop assistants fell silent.
The training teacher said, "Okay, let's continue the class!"
In the corridor outside the door, Yan Ning looked at the mature woman standing in front of him.
"Your name is Zhao Tong, right? I heard that you came to the store to interview for the position of store manager.
Then why did you agree to work as an ordinary clerk in my store?
With your abilities, you can definitely find a better job."
When Jiang Yan interviewed Zhao Tong, she hired her for the position of jewelry store clerk.
He did not tell Zhao Tong that she would be trained as a reserve store manager.
Zhao Tong's slightly weathered face revealed a bitter smile, "Boss Yan, to be honest, I have applied for all the suitable jobs in Gangcheng for more than a month.
But because I had been out of work for almost four years and didn't have much work experience, they didn't hire me.
The salary offered by the job that is willing to hire me is too low, and I have a daughter that I need to support.
I came to your jewelry store to apply for a job, purely on the basis of luck. It was within my expectation that I would not be hired as the store manager.
I heard from Assistant Jiang that the jewelry store employees are paid on commission basis. The more they sell, the higher their salary.
So when Assistant Jiang was willing to hire me as a clerk, I felt not only grateful but also relieved.
I don’t care whether my abilities match the job.
As long as I work hard, the higher my performance, the higher my salary will be, and then I will have enough money to support my daughter."
Neither Yan Ning nor Jiang Yan expected this to happen.
I haven't worked for four years, which means I was a housewife before.
Now she is suddenly looking for a job and has a daughter to support, which means she is a divorced or single mother in other situations.
Although he had a guess in his mind, Yan Ning still asked.
"Excuse me, are you a single mother now? How old is your daughter?"
Zhao Tong nodded generously, "Yes, my ex-husband and I just divorced, and my daughter is under my care.
She is four years old this year, and my mother helps me take care of her during the day, so it won’t affect my normal work.”
Yan Ning nodded slightly, "I am very optimistic about your academic qualifications and abilities. Originally, I only planned to recruit six employees for this jewelry store.
My assistant is willing to hire you because she values your ability.
I want to hire you as a clerk first, and then train you as a reserve store manager.
When we open a branch later, I will promote you to branch manager."
Zhao Tong looked surprised and shocked, "Really, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows, "It's true, but this branch will not open until the middle of next year.
Now I have to consider a question: if we train you as a reserve store manager,
What if you quit before the branch opens?
This not only wastes our time and energy, but also helps our competitors.”
"I won't, Mr. Yan."
Zhao Tong hurriedly said: "Boss Yan, since the company is willing to cultivate me, I will not do anything that has no professional ethics.
If you are worried, you can sign an employment contract with me. The employment period is up to you.
Unless something happens to me that makes it impossible for me to continue working, I will not resign without a reason.”
Yan Ning laughed out loud, "Aren't you afraid that I'll ask you to sign a five-year or ten-year contract? What if my jewelry store's business is not doing well in the future?
This will trap you in this jewelry store for half your life, and with low wages, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
