Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

Yang Hui parked his car, grabbed his briefcase, and went up to the second floor, entering the offices of Yanghe Commerce.

It was completely different from his last visit. The 200-square-meter office space had been partitioned with glass to create two private offices—one for the general manager and one for the deputy general manager—as well as a conference room.

It was a small company, so they cut costs wherever possible. As a result, there was no reception desk.

Besides the two private offices, the rest was an open-plan workspace. Since it was Saturday, the workstations were empty.

But as he walked through, he could see personal belongings at a few of the workstations. It looked like some new employees had started in the past few days.

He went to the general manager’s office, knocked twice, and pushed the door open to find it empty.

Just then, he heard Yang Na’s voice from the next room. "In here."

Yang Hui took in the general manager’s office. It was 25 square meters, simply furnished with an executive desk, a bookshelf, and a sofa set for receiving guests.

The furniture wasn’t luxurious, but the choice and combination of styles and colors gave it a touch of class.

He walked into the adjacent office. Yang Na was sitting in the chair behind her desk. This office was smaller, only 15 square meters. Besides the desk and bookshelf, there was no room for a sofa; instead, a small tea table had been placed there.

A sharply tailored, dark blue business suit with a hip-hugging skirt.

The collar of her chiffon blouse was slightly open, her collarbones faintly visible, a hint of black lace from her lingerie creating an understated sexiness. The short, hip-hugging skirt clung to the curve of her waist and hips, outlining a graceful hourglass figure. Her long, slender legs seemed to glow like pearls under the office’s soft lighting.

She stood up, walked over to the tea table, and sat down across from Yang Hui.

As she placed the tea set on the electric stove to heat, she said with a smile, "Aunt Zheng has been here a few times asking when you’d show up. She said she messages you often, but you’re slow to reply."

He gave a faint smile. Aunt Zheng was truly enthusiastic. She messaged him every single day, asking how things were going with her daughter.

At first, he’d explained that he was too busy with work and had no time. Then she simply switched to messaging him at night, telling him that her daughter was always home in the evenings, except when she was at the gym, so he could contact her then.

’I wonder just how unattractive her daughter is to make Aunt Zheng this desperate,’ he thought. Hearing she went to the gym often, he pictured a 200-jin woman sweating buckets on a treadmill.

’Then he remembered her screen name, "A Lamb Entering the Tiger’s Mouth," which made her sound like someone with a voracious appetite. The image of a large, heavy-set woman became even more vivid.’

After that, whenever Aunt Zheng asked how his chats with her daughter were going, he would just give a perfunctory reply: "Pretty good."

’I wonder if she’s misunderstood and thinks her daughter and I are in some kind of deep online romance. Lately, she’s been saying she wants to call her daughter back home so we can all have a meal together.’

That scared Yang Hui so much he didn’t dare reply. The thought of having a meal with a 200-jin woman was enough to make him lose his appetite. In his mind, the landlord’s daughter had taken on the form of a Japanese sumo wrestler.

A shiver ran down his spine just thinking about it.

He quickly said to Yang Na, "Stop, stop. Let’s talk about something else. Why bring up such a creepy topic the moment we meet?"

Yang Na laughed. She thought the same as Yang Hui—the landlord’s daughter probably wasn’t much of a looker, or her mother wouldn’t be in such a rush.

So every time the subject came up, it was just for a bit of playful teasing.

"You’ve gotten bold, haven’t you? Daring to tease me now."

’Back at Ruijing Commerce, she was my subordinate, and she was a bit more reserved. Now that she’s out on her own, it’s like the tables have turned and she’s singing a new tune.’

A few loose strands of hair fell beside her ear, setting off her skin, which looked as translucent as fresh snow. Her eyes held the sharp competence of a corporate elite, yet also concealed a hint of languid charm.

"Being bold is better than being big."

Yang Hui knew she was still teasing him about the landlord’s daughter. He couldn’t help but glance at her ample chest.

"It’s fine if some places are a little ’big’."

Yang Na shot him a look. "All talk, no action. You only know how to take advantage with your words."

The water for the tea was boiled. She took out the tea set to brew the tea, and Yang Hui didn’t continue the topic, even though her words were clearly goading him.

"Yang Na, you should work in the general manager’s office. I don’t hold an official position in the company. When I come by, I can just share your office."

Hearing that he would share her office when he came over, Yang Na thought for a moment and agreed to his request.

"We’ve already signed the regional authorization agreements with NLB and Zen. The brand representatives were very easy to work with."

Yang Hui smiled faintly. ’It’s not that the brand reps were easy to work with. It’s because they were giving face to Zhang Chun.’ After all, Zhang Chun was the Vice President and Regional Head of Xinyue Group, overseeing nearly 200 Xinyue Square malls. Within China, there were few brand owners who would dare to disrespect him.

Zhang Chun had personally helped negotiate Yanghe Commerce’s partnership. This meant that opening stores in the Xinyue Square malls within his region would be no problem, which was what the brand owners valued most.

What Yang Na meant by the brand reps being "easy to work with" referred mainly to two things:

First, after careful consideration, the brand owners decided not to set a procurement quota for Yanghe Commerce for the first year of cooperation.

Second, this year’s orders are all for in-stock goods, but they get the same purchasing price as future orders.

In-stock goods and future orders are different. In-stock goods are inventory from the brand’s directly-operated stores. Whatever amount Yanghe Commerce ordered would directly reduce the inventory of those stores, thus affecting their sales performance. Therefore, the purchasing price for in-stock goods is typically higher than for future orders.

Future orders, on the other hand, are different. Those involve selecting styles and placing orders two seasons in advance, and it all becomes one’s own inventory.

Furthermore, the brand owners also gave Yanghe Commerce a special support policy this year: a 15% return-and-exchange allowance based on the total retail value. As far as they knew, no other regional distributor received this policy.

Yang Hui quietly picked up his phone and sent a thank-you message to Zhang Chun. Zhang Chun was in Shanghai for a group meeting at the headquarters these past few days. He would thank him in person when he returned to Qingzhou in a few days.

Yanghe Commerce didn’t have much cash on hand at the moment. Yang Na had already placed the first batch of orders based on the store opening and performance estimates for the first two months. The goods were due to arrive at the warehouse in the next couple of days.

The location for NLB was confirmed, and the proposed location for Zen was also confirmed—right next to NLB. Both were in the mall’s most prime location. Since both brands were trendy and targeted a similar customer base, placing them together also made management more convenient.

Yang Hui barely had to worry about the partnership with Xinyue Square. Zhang Chun and President Tian had already arranged everything. The business terms were a pure commission-based model plus a property management fee of 10 yuan per square meter per month.

Terms like these were almost inhumanly favorable.

"Xinyue Square has already sent over the partnership agreements for both brands. I’ve reviewed them, and the business terms are consistent with what was promised. I’ll stamp them today and send them back.

The brand companies have provided the floor plans for both stores, so we can arrange for construction workers to come in and start on the basic framework."
