Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

[Xiang Ling: What's there to compare? He's the boss's nephew. Of course his team gets to ride his coattails.]

[Zhu Jing: I wouldn't say that. Since the new boss came, our income and the stores' revenue have both gone up a lot. Things are slowly getting better.]

[Han Ya: That's true. All our stores in Xinyue Square have been getting a ton of resources. This month, forget hitting 80%—we'll have no problem hitting 100%. The key is that team morale is up now.]

[Xiang Ling: Yeah, yeah, the boss is amazing. I heard the livestream from Ji Kun's store brought in 1.2 million in sales. My god, if the store gets a commission on those numbers, they'll die of happiness.]

[Ji Kun: The boss said he'd fight for it with the company, but I think it'll be tough. The company is stingy as they come, and besides, the Airex team isn't exactly well-liked.]

[Zhu Jing: Guys, look! The company just sent out an email.]

Seeing Zhu Jing's message in the group chat, their hearts tightened. They thought it was the announcement about salary adjustments, but when they looked, the subject line read:

[Regarding Various Requirements and Incentives for Increasing Store Livestream Sales

Body: To encourage all brands to actively participate in online store livestreams and improve the company's overall performance, the following requirements are now in effect:

1. Each brand team will conduct store livestreams. Monthly livestream sales for each team must be no less than 600,000.

2. The sales revenue from these livestreams will count toward the team's performance goals. Additionally, a 1% bonus will be awarded based on the sales generated by the livestreaming store.

3. If a team fails to meet the minimum target, the bonus will be forfeited, and the sales will not count toward the team's performance goals.]

The moment the email went out, Ji Kun was the first to post in the group chat: "Long live the boss! The boss is so handsome! I freaking love the boss."

Han Ya replied sarcastically, "Trying to compete with Zhu Jing? Aren't you overestimating yourself a little?"

This meant Ji Kun's store was getting an extra 12,000-yuan bonus, with each person receiving over 1,000. And it went without saying that Ji Kun's performance for the month would definitely be over 100%.

Meanwhile, the other teams in Futong Commerce's operations department were a chorus of curses.

"Holy crap, another new task. If we can't complete it, not only will we be humiliated, who knows how badly we'll get reamed out."

"Yeah, the Airex team gets to show off, and they dug a huge pit for the rest of us."

"A 600,000 target? How are we supposed to hit that? This is just working for free! We won't get a single cent, and we'll still get chewed out."

In the operations director's office, Dan Biao was also grinding his teeth, cursing under his breath, "Crafty old bastard."

With this email, only Yang Hui's team benefited. The other teams got jack squat, and now they had more work to do.

Yang Hui's team had snatched both the spotlight and the benefits. The money Li Yang was paying out would probably have to be earned back by the other teams working for free.

At the same time, Dan Biao sighed grimly. "You think this is it? It gets even crueler."

Immediately after, he sent an email to all the teams in the operations department. He demanded that any team with stores in the malls where Airex had just negotiated rent reductions had to do the same. If they couldn't get the rent lowered, their year-end bonuses would probably be shot.

'Damn it, that crafty old bastard. So if we can't save money on rent, he'll just save it from our year-end bonuses instead.'

After receiving this email, the operations department went into an uproar again. Several operations managers came to Dan Biao's office one after another to complain and vent their frustrations.

Dan Biao had only one response: "Airex could do it. Why can't you?"

In an instant, Yang Hui became public enemy number one for every manager in the operations department, except for those on the Airex team.

"Damn it, why does he have to make things so competitive? Is he trying to show that he's the only one in the whole company who can get things done?"

"Is he even human? A garbage brand like Airex should have just been left to decline naturally. Why is he working so hard? What does that mean for the rest of us?"

"That Yang Hui is a real piece of work. First negotiating rent reductions, now doing livestreams. Isn't he just looking for trouble? We're all just employees here. Why is a migrant worker like him worrying about the boss's problems? Isn't it better to just do the work you're paid for?"

The office was buzzing with gossip, filled with resentment toward Yang Hui. He was oblivious to all of it, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared. 'He who is not envied is mediocre.' Besides, his only fear now was that he hadn't offended enough people, that the public outrage wasn't great enough. 'Go ahead,' he thought, 'have Li Yang fire me if you've got the guts.'

Unfortunately for them, his reputation was now soaring. He had humiliated Cai Miao several times in the company and faced no consequences. How could anyone else dare to provoke him? Aside from gossiping behind his back, they had to politely greet him with a "Manager Yang" to his face.

Zhang Li was asked to stay behind by Dan Biao. After the others had left, Zhang Li said angrily, "What is the boss thinking? Is he trying to work us to death? This adds so much work out of nowhere. And whether it's negotiating rent or doing livestreams, none of this was originally our operations department's job!"

Dan Biao said grimly, "Yang Hui can do it. Why can't you?"

Damn it, that line again. Zhang Li was speechless.

"Zhang Li, we're all part of the company's management. There's no such thing as 'your job' and 'not your job.' Anything that's good for the company, we should all be doing it, and doing it proactively."

Zhang Li opened his mouth, but then decided to give up arguing. You couldn't really say that this kind of catch-all platitude, delivered from the moral high ground, was wrong. The key was that everyone could talk the talk, but who actually walked the walk? Wasn't it always about just doing the work you were paid for?

'In the end, this is all because of that bastard Yang Hui. He got all the glory, and now we're stuck dealing with the fallout.'

"Zhang Li, I asked you to stay behind because there are two more things I need to talk to you about."

Dan Biao forced a smile onto his face. 'It's not easy placating your subordinates,' he thought. 'Oh, Yang Hui, look how many people you've hurt without even realizing it.'

Suddenly, Zhang Li had a bad feeling. The look in Dan Biao's eyes was like a doctor smiling at a terminally ill patient, just short of saying, "Try to look on the bright side. Eat what you want, drink what you want, and don't take it too hard."

'These past two days have been unlucky enough. Can we not do this?' Zhang Li trembled. In all his years working at his uncle's company, this was the first time he had ever felt so powerless.

"First, President Li requires NLB's average monthly per-store performance to exceed 400,000 a month. If you don't hit that target, both your year-end bonus and mine will be canceled, and there won't be any chance of a raise next year either."

As he said this, he tried to force an expression of shared misery, as if to say, "See? This punishment includes me too, so you don't have to feel too bad."

But Zhang Li didn't see it that way. Whether or not Dan Biao was also punished had nothing to do with him getting punished.

"President Shan, I don't want to be in charge of NLB anymore. I'm done with it. I'm managing an extra brand, not getting a single cent more for it, and now I have to deal with such a harsh evaluation. If I can't meet the target, I get yelled at and have my pay docked."
