Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

THUMP... THUMP.

"Ji Kun, daydreaming about your girl?"

"Haha—" Everyone burst out laughing at Yang Hui's words.

Ji Kun snapped back to reality and explained, "Boss, I don't even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife." He had been thinking about his highlight moments at the company over the past two days.

"I saw that lovesick smile. Figured you've had some luck with the ladies lately."

"No, no, I was thinking about the meeting content you just mentioned."

"Oh? Then why don't you repeat what I just said?" Yang Hui didn't seem inclined to let him off the hook.

Ji Kun tensed up immediately. "Boss, I… I was wrong. I shouldn't have zoned out during the meeting."

"Mistakes have consequences. Any objections?"

"No, no, I'll accept my punishment. Boss, just tell me what it is. How about I treat everyone to dinner today?"

"I'll keep a tab for now and decide on your punishment later. As for dinner, forget it. You should save what little money you have to find a wife."

Ji Kun chuckled. "See? The boss can't bear to see us spend our money."

"Alright, there's nothing special this week. Just keep moving forward with the tasks assigned at the beginning of the month. Does anyone have any problems they need my help with?"

Everyone shook their heads. In the past, their biggest problem was getting approvals or signatures held up by Cai Miao, or being called in by her to get chewed out. Now, things were completely different. Cai Miao wouldn't dare say a peep about anything related to the Airex team, nor would she dare to hold anything up. The truth was, Yang Hui was just too unpredictable, and he had put her in a position where she couldn't afford to lose any more face.

"No problems? Then meeting adjourned."

He sighed. 'It's honestly a bit disappointing. Weren't Cai Miao, Zhang Li, and their ilk supposed to be so powerful? As if anyone who crossed them would have a miserable time. Why do I get the feeling their reputation is overblown? They're just a couple of cowards. It almost makes me want to stir up some trouble just for the hell of it.'

'Stir up trouble? That might not be a bad idea. My previous actions weren't extreme enough, and Li Yang could still tolerate them. Looks like I need to dial it up a notch.'

"Boss, are we still going out to visit stores today?" Zhu Jing walked closer. The mix of her perfume and her natural youthful scent was very pleasant.

He took a deep breath, a flicker of desire stirring within him. He had planned to meet up with Liu Shasha a couple of days ago, but she got her period. 'What a tease,' he thought. It had forced him to stay abstinent for this long.

As for Shen Meng, he still hadn't found a chance to get her into bed. 'So difficult. Being this pent-up is torture.'

'Has Zhu Jing gotten addicted to doing store rounds with me lately? She keeps asking if I want to go. Hmm, it's not a bad idea. This girl… she's someone I plan to take with me when I leave Futong Commerce. She could be worth developing.'

"Sure, let's head out in a bit. Oh, right, there's an NLB at Wanlong Square, isn't there? You're also in charge of the Airex store there, I believe. We'll go check that area out."

Zhu Jing didn't understand what this had to do with NLB, but she nodded, left the meeting room to get her things, and prepared to go on the store visit with Yang Hui.

Watching her slim waist and full hips sway as she walked, Yang Hui rubbed his temples. 'She's practically begging me to commit a crime.'

Li Yang had also called a special meeting about NLB today. In the small conference room were Li Yang, Cai Miao, Dan Biao, Han Chao, and Zhang Li.

"Serene's communications with our company have been very smooth, as all of you here can attest. She has a high opinion of my management skills and our market position in Qingjiang River, and she's confident that we can make NLB a huge success here.

You could say that our strength—primarily my grasp of the market and my ability to manage this company—has won her over. She has given us unprecedented support, from purchase discounts to promotional materials. These are terms that no other distributor in the country is getting."

While the boss was boasting, his subordinates not only had to doodle in their notebooks but also nod along in agreement from time to time, showing that they agreed with every word he said.

But if you looked closer, you'd see that Dan Biao was just scribbling "Haha, hahaha" in his notebook. Having followed Li Yang for so many years, he'd noticed that as the boss got older, he'd also grown more and more narcissistic.

'First, I didn't sense any appreciation from Serene toward him. The meeting was interrupted by her doubts multiple times, and she almost had to call Yang Hui back in. And that guy, Yang Hui, showed him no respect and embarrassed him right on the spot. How is any of that 'smooth'?

Second, doesn't all the support from Serene come with strings attached? And how do you know no other distributor in the country has these terms? Who did you ask?

All this talk is just to say that you negotiated a great deal. So in the end, if we can't deliver, it's because we're incompetent and we've dragged the company down. That's the real point you're trying to make. Everything before that was just bullshit.'

Indeed, he knew Li Yang all too well.

"I've called you here today because NLB must be your top priority. I will be personally following up on your progress.

For the Channel Development Department, I want to see 20 NLB locations secured in Xinyue Square before the end of June. I also need to know the confirmation timeline. Any problems?"

Han Chao wanted to say there were problems, but he knew that would be professional suicide—it would be seen as undermining morale. He could only grit his teeth and answer, "No problem."

"Good. Han Chao, you've basically sworn a military pledge. If you can't complete it, I'll have to take disciplinary action."

Dan Biao and Zhang Li looked at Han Chao with sympathy. He had dug his own grave under the boss's coercion.

"Xiaodan, Zhang Li, you should learn from Han Chao. I like confident people. Han Chao is responsible for his task, and you two better not drag the company down. You must achieve an average monthly sales of 400,000 per store. Otherwise, you'll face disciplinary action as well. At the end of the year, we'll review our performance. Whichever department fails to meet its target will have its year-end bonus canceled."

"Did you hear me?" Seeing that Dan Biao and Zhang Li hadn't responded, Li Yang pressed, his voice rising an octave.

"We heard you," Dan Biao and Zhang Li replied in unison.

"Good. Next, I'll assign the tasks for your Operations Department:

First, as of yesterday, two weeks of June have passed, and the average store sales for NLB are only 130,000. Based on a monthly target of 400,000, your achievement rate is less than 70%. Do you know what this means?

It means that at this rate, fulfilling my promise to Serene won't be possible by opening just 20 stores—we'll need to open 30! Are you planning to dump all the pressure on the Channel Development Department? Can't the Operations Department show some accountability? Is this how you act, like a bunch of useless teammates?

It also means that your store employees won't get any commission bonuses this month. Their take-home pay might be just over 2,000. This will be your fault. Do you want to be the ones to blame for that?"

Dan Biao and Zhang Li lowered their heads, a sense of indignation simmering within them.
