Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

"Serene, when you go to Qingzhou today, I want you to find out why there’s such a huge disparity. Yanghe Commerce’s numbers are too strong, while Futong Commerce’s are just too weak. I’ve pulled our national performance metrics—the closing rate is basically above 7%, and the add-on rate should be around 2.1. If Futong Commerce could reach those numbers, their sales would double. Their management is just terrible."

Serene nodded slightly. Recalling how Li Yang had boasted about his team’s strength, the current data made it almost comical. ’I had a bad feeling about him from the start.’ Now, compared to Yanghe Commerce, the difference was stark. She’d had a good impression of Yang Hui on her last visit, but she never expected him to deliver such a pleasant surprise.

’Could it be that Mom keeps mentioning him because she saw some hidden potential? Otherwise, why would someone as shrewd an investor as her be so hasty when choosing a son-in-law? She’s never been like this with anyone else.’

"Later, I’ll send a copy of this data to President Li of Futong Commerce and urge them to improve their management. Otherwise, they’re just tarnishing our brand’s reputation, which will negatively impact our future cooperation."

Hearing Song Wen’s words, Serene could just imagine how defeated and furious Li Yang would be when he saw the data.

"President Song, I need to catch the 11:00 AM high-speed train."

Song Wen stood up. "Travel safely."

As for Serene, Song Wen couldn’t quite figure out her background. She had heard that Serene drove a top-of-the-line Porsche 911 to work, so she was probably some rich family’s young lady. Song Wen already admired her abilities, and this mysterious background made her put on no airs in front of Serene, treating her entirely like a big sister would a younger one.

"Oh, right. I saw you shared Yanghe Commerce’s battle report on your Moments. I’m going to have the entire company reshare it. This store’s performance can be promoted as a new benchmark."

Song Wen added this just as Serene was about to leave.

At that moment, the Qingzhou business world was in an uproar. Because Xinyue Group’s regional headquarters had ordered all employees to share the report, this battle report wasn’t just a moment of glory for Yanghe Commerce; it was also something for the first Xinyue Square store to publicize.

Across the country, there were surely malls with NLB stores that had more foot traffic than the first Xinyue Square store, but none had achieved such high sales in the first two days of opening, especially not on a non-holiday. The first Xinyue Square store and its operations department were also commended by the regional office.

Because of Xinyue Square’s immense influence in Qingjiang Province, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Qingjiang Business District. Yanghe Commerce and the NLB brand once again became the hot topic of discussion.

Meanwhile, in the malls where Futong Commerce operated NLB stores, the company was tragically relegated to being a background character. Their failure only served to highlight Yanghe Commerce’s overwhelming success.

Zhu Jing also saw the Moments post from the floor manager of Xinyue Square Second Store. She glanced back at Yang Hui, who was looking at data on his computer, and a sense of pride swelled in her heart. Even though she worked for Futong Commerce, she felt like she belonged to Yang Hui, like she was already a member of Yanghe Commerce.

She suddenly had the urge to laugh. ’Am I a classic case of serving in the enemy camp while my heart is elsewhere?’

She typed out a text to Yang Hui: "Boss, congrats on setting a new record."

Yang Hui looked up and glanced at Zhu Jing. She blinked, trying to convey her congratulations again with her eyes, but he misinterpreted it as a flirtatious glance.

He texted her back: "Is there a reward?"

Zhu Jing couldn’t help but smile. A boss asking a subordinate for a reward... she liked his unconventional style. "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Let me have a feel."

Her face flushed red in an instant, all the way to the tips of her ears. She quickly minimized the text message on her phone, terrified that Han Ya or the others would come over and see it. At the same time, she recalled the scene on the massage chair the other day when he’d taken advantage of her. It was both shameful and thrilling.

"Zhu Jing, you always go on store inspections with the boss. You must be feeling pretty ’up’, huh?"

Han Ya sidled over and asked quietly with envy. Zhu Jing reached out and smacked her on the butt. This girl was such a pervert. The keyword was ’up’—did she really think Zhu Jing wouldn’t get the double meaning?

"Hey! When did you get so naughty, smacking my butt? Fess up, did you learn that from the boss? He gets you ’up’, but if you don’t listen, he spanks your butt, right?"

Zhu Jing was terrified of her. This was the office! Thankfully, Han Ya had leaned in and whispered in her ear. What would happen if anyone else had heard that?

「In the General Manager’s Office」

Li Yang scrolled through his WeChat Moments, his expression hideous. Yesterday, the NLB store at Wanlong Square had only made 3,000 yuan in sales, while Yanghe Commerce’s NLB had made 180,000. The disparity made him wonder if they were even selling the same brand.

He pressed the button for the internal line and told Han Chao to come to his office.

"I told you to follow up on the NLB store placement at Xinyue Square every day. Do you only report to me when I summon you?"

Han Chao thought to himself, ’Luckily, I was prepared. I should be able to get through this today.’

"President Li, I was just about to come and report this good news to you today."

Li Yang wanted to curse him out. ’I don’t call, you don’t come; I call, and you claim you were just about to report.’

But hearing him mention good news, he held back the scolding and asked instead, "Alright, spit it out. What’s the situation?"

"President Li, after we treated President Tian to dinner last time, he went back that very afternoon and instructed all the project general managers in a regional operations meeting. He said that all their stores must bring in NLB this year, and they have to give it a prime location. He’s also taking this matter very seriously, assigning it personally to the VP of Business, not even letting the investment managers get involved. It shows how highly President Tian thinks of you."
