Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?
Chapter 212 - 183: The Widening Gap (2)Shen Meng? Xia Jie was, of course, very familiar with that name. She had once been a famous beauty at Futong Commerce.
’Manager Yang poached her for his own company. That’s right, that way fewer people would be after her. Oh, but what about me?’
A faint blush crept onto her face, and she immediately thought she was probably different from Shen Meng. ’If I hadn’t been kicked out of Futong Commerce, he probably wouldn’t have brought me here, would he?’ The thought left her feeling a little dejected.
She arrived at her workstation, sat down, and turned on the brand-new desktop computer in front of her, feeling as if she had been given a new lease on life. All she wanted now was to dive into her work as quickly as possible.
"Director Xia, President Yang is looking for you."
Looking up, she saw a young woman about her own age. Her name tag identified her as the general manager’s assistant—the role Cai Miao used to have. Xia Jie instinctively stood up, only to find the assistant was very modest and treated her with the utmost respect.
"President Yang came in early and was in a meeting with Director Shen and the brand company to discuss online channel sales," the assistant explained. "They just finished, so she asked me to come and get you."
The assistant was explaining that President Yang had intended to see her as soon as she arrived, but had been delayed by the meeting. Xia Jie also knew that "Director Shen" was Shen Meng.
Thinking about Li Yang, Xia Jie pictured President Yang as an extremely serious person and couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
KNOCK KNOCK~
"Come in!"
’What a clear and pleasant voice,’ she thought. ’I didn’t expect President Yang’s voice to sound so nice.’
The assistant pushed the door open and ushered Xia Jie inside. The moment she stepped into the office, her eyes widened in surprise. President Yang was a stunningly beautiful woman around her own age.
Yang Na came out from behind her desk with a light smile. "You must be Xia Jie. Please, have a seat."
’Even the President is this friendly. It’s really so different from Futong Commerce.’
Xia Jie took a seat in the guest chair. Yang Na sat across from her, looking at the somewhat nervous Xia Jie and couldn’t help but inwardly muse, ’Where on earth does Boss Yang find so many beautiful young women? First Shen Meng, now Xia Jie, and he even said someone named Zhu Jing will be coming over soon. Anyone he headhunts is bound to be a looker. Is Yanghe Commerce going to turn into a bootcamp for beauties?’
"Thank you, President Yang."
Seeing Xia Jie was still a bit stiff, Yang Na smiled. "Just a month ago, I was only a supervisor myself. It was President Yang who promoted me. So you don’t need to be so formal. There’s a hierarchy at work, of course, but when we’re just chatting, we can be like sisters."
’She was a supervisor, too?’ Hearing that really did help bridge the gap. Besides, beautiful people naturally tend to put others at ease. Xia Jie relaxed at once.
"Xia Jie, you coming here is a huge help to me," Yang Na said. "The company is still in its startup phase, and I have a lot of external affairs to handle. I was worried I’d be stretched too thin to manage the stores properly. You’ve come at the perfect time to help share the load."
"The shop just opened; today is only its fourth day. I’m essentially handing a brand-new store over to you. From now on, I’m counting on you for NLB’s operational management."
"I just hope I’m up to the task."
Yang Na chuckled. "Let’s not be so modest. Anyone President Yang headhunts is definitely not just a pretty face. By the way, when you go to the store today, give the team a pep talk. They’ve been performing well these past few days. Yesterday’s sales were 160,000 yuan. It’s a bit lower than the day before, but that’s normal. A lot of the target customers we drew in during the initial opening have already made their purchases. We should expect a gradual decline before sales stabilize."
She was trying to preemptively relieve any pressure on Xia Jie. Daily sales had been 180,000 yuan before she took over; if they dropped to a few tens of thousands after, it could be stressful. At a place like Futong Commerce, even though the boss would know it was a normal trend, he would still make a few pointed comments to keep the pressure on you.
But Yanghe Commerce wasn’t like that. Yang Na explained that while the company values performance—because performance is a result—it isn’t the *most* important thing. What the boss really looks for is customer service, and whether the staff can truly "serve the customer wholeheartedly."
Customer-centric and people-centric. This was probably the biggest difference between Yanghe Commerce and Futong Commerce. Here, employees felt valued and respected. Their hard work was rewarded, and the company was anything but stingy when it came to compensation.
Xia Jie even began to wonder, ’Is this the "Utopia" every worker dreams of? If all companies were like this, maybe we corporate drones could actually be happy. Or rather, we wouldn’t be drones anymore; everyone would feel like a true owner of the company.’
On her way out of the office, Xia Jie took the subway to the store at Xinyue Square, humming a happy tune. This subway ride felt like it was taking her toward a bright future. In the past, when she took the subway to do store inspections, her future had felt like a murky mess; she was exhausted every day, with no idea what lay ahead.
The store manager had already been notified that the new supervisor would be arriving today. However, Yanghe Commerce didn’t go in for formalities; no matter who visited—even Yang Na herself—staff were not allowed to neglect customers just to cater to a manager.
When Xia Jie arrived at the store at 11:00 AM, there were already several groups of customers inside. As she observed, she occasionally overheard them chatting. Some had even been referred by their friends. It seemed the exceptional service these customers were receiving was already starting to pay off.
Just then, another beautiful woman walked in—a woman so stunning she made Xia Jie feel inadequate. Xia Jie herself was used to turning heads wherever she went, but compared to this newcomer, she felt she was completely outclassed in both looks and figure.
It was one thing for her facial features to be so exquisite and flawless, but she also possessed an incredibly sexy figure. Beyond her surface-level beauty, her bone structure was perfect, too. Her every move, her every expression, carried an extraordinary, almost ethereal, grace.
A salesperson immediately approached to assist her. Just then, the phone at the checkout counter rang, and the store manager walked over to answer it.
