Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?
Chapter 174 - 170: So Thick-Skinned (Part 3)Still, 150,000 was a figure worth celebrating. He immediately sent Xia Jie a message, asking her what the NLB sales figures were for Wanlong Square today.
When he learned it was just over 5,000, Yang Hui smiled. That was even less than usual. It was clear that Xinyue Square’s aggressive marketing and promotional subsidies had siphoned off some of the customers who would have normally shopped for NLB at Wanlong Square.
[Yang Na: Our salesgirls were all working so hard they didn’t want to go home. With an average of 15,000 in sales per person today, their commission bonuses will be around 750 yuan.]
Yang Hui smiled. ’This is exactly why I forced them to take breaks before. Seeing such high rewards, who would want to rest? Everyone’s going to be itching to work overtime.’
[Yang Hui: Rest must be mandatory. Everyone leaves the second their shift is over.]
[Yang Na: I know, I know. You’ve stressed it so many times, how would I dare disobey? Sales were so high today, how are you going to reward me?]
[Yang Hui: How about I treat you to a massage?]
Only after sending the message did he realize he’d been acting possessed all day. First, he’d inexplicably taken Xia Jie for a massage, and now he was inviting Yang Na.
’Was his subconscious trying to make up for this afternoon’s regret? If it had been Xia Jie instead of Yang Na, not only would she have not refused, she probably would’ve been very proactive. That time at the KTV when she’d adjusted him... they all thought he was too drunk to notice. But they didn’t stop to think—he was drunk, not dead. How could he not have snapped to his senses from something as stimulating as that?’
[Yang Na: Okay! When? How about right now?]
...She really was proactive. Knowing she was just kidding, he didn’t reply.
A moment later, he received several messages in a row.
Cheng Jun sent a message to congratulate him. The mall compiled sales results every evening, and since it was NLB’s opening day—and Yang Hui’s business—she had paid special attention. The results had exceeded her expectations as well.
She also heaped praise on the store’s high-quality sales staff and their thoughtful service, even mentioning that many other vendors in the mall had been observing them today and telling their own employees to learn from them.
Yang Hui gave a faint smile. ’Learn?’
’Why tell the employees to learn from this store’s sales staff, instead of having the bosses learn to pay their employees like I do? You learn to hand out the money first, then tell your staff to learn from the NLB clerks. Just see if they don’t have the same motivation then.’
’You pay someone a few thousand a month but expect them to learn from employees who make over ten thousand a month. What is there to learn?’
[Cheng Jun: The Zen brand also started moving in for renovations tonight. I’m really looking forward to its performance after it opens. In terms of product strength, Zen is even stronger than NLB. And since it’s the exclusive agent for the Qingjiang River area, I think it could set a new opening day record.]
[Yang Hui: I’m confident about that. I also want to thank President Tian and you for the major promotional push. With the experience from the NLB opening, Zen will definitely do even better. Plus, based on the renovation schedule, Zen should open on a Friday. The customer traffic on that day will be better than today, so we’re sure to see an even bigger breakthrough.]
After chatting with Cheng Jun for a while, he was still buzzing with excitement over the results. He hadn’t let down the trust of Brother Chun and President Tian, he hadn’t wasted the mall’s massive promotional efforts, and most of all, he hadn’t failed the hardworking members of his team. This outcome made all the effort worthwhile.
As his girlfriend, Shen Meng naturally sent a congratulatory text as well. The two had just finished talking an hour ago; now she’d heard about the sales results and wanted to share in his joy.
[Yang Hui: Shen Meng, let’s go out of town this weekend.]
[Shen Meng: Okay! Where are you thinking of going?]
[Yang Hui: We can go check on the downstream markets and stay overnight.]
Shen Meng didn’t reply for a long time. The point of Yang Hui’s message wasn’t the first part, but the "stay overnight." Just as Yang Hui was thinking she wouldn’t reply, her message came back: "Okay."
He tossed his phone aside and lay down to sleep. ’Looks like starting next week, Shen Meng can start taking my fire. Rightfully so. She really is the number-one girlfriend right now; she should bear this responsibility.’
Wu Min was lying on the sofa playing on her phone. She saw Shen Meng come out of her room with a cup to get some water, her face flushed red, and figured it was just because she’d just taken a shower, so she didn’t think much of it.
"Shen Meng, now that you’re at the new company, you probably don’t get to see Yang Hui as much, do you?"
Her footsteps faltered for a moment. This was probably the only downside of switching jobs. Before, she and Yang Hui were always seen together, but now she commuted to and from work all by herself. ’But for the sake of a better future, what’s a temporary separation?’
’If love between two people is true, it need not be clung to day and night. My cousin is being so narrow-minded.’
Besides, aside from not being able to commute together, it was still easy for them to meet. "Not really," she said. "If we want to see each other, we can just meet up."
Wu Min put her phone aside. "You’re that free at your new company already? With the great compensation they’re giving you, wouldn’t they be trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of you?"
Thinking of Shen Meng’s compensation package, she still found it a bit unbelievable. She couldn’t shake the feeling that there must be something wrong with the company. But then, she’d heard from Shen Meng that the company’s new store had its grand opening today, right on the first floor of Xinyue Square.
"It’s not like that at all. The employees at our company are all self-motivated. The company doesn’t need to hound us."
"Heh. Employees who get things done on their own without being hounded? I’ll die before I believe that."
Shen Meng didn’t bother explaining further. She just poured her water and headed back to her room. Before she went in, Wu Min asked, "It was the grand opening today, right? How were the sales?"
