Ji Huai was not surprised to learn that Li Ying had taken over the store in Nanguan District.
She did things and made troubles. After all the cards were played, all she could do was give in. He didn't think she had the courage to submit a letter of resignation, but she wasn't stupid either and knew enough was enough.
Li Ying held her breath and quickly adjusted her mentality. She was bound to compare with Ji Huai.
The young kid, with some luck, really thinks he is a green onion. The employees in Nanguan District are active, energetic and experienced. She is very confident that she can lead them well.
Li Ying can be said to have made sufficient preparations. On her first day at work, she greeted everyone warmly, gathered the employees for a morning meeting, and after talking a lot, she started to talk about her plans and set goals.
All goals are not only to catch up with the head office, but also to achieve higher performance than before. Her purpose was to suppress Ji Huai, but she didn't believe that was his ability. She was just taking advantage of the situation.
People in the conference room listened to her drawing, secretly played with their mobile phones out of boredom, and secretly sent messages in the small group:
"It's so annoying, so boring, I don't know what I'm talking about."
"The brainwashing started again. Can you go to the main store? I miss store manager Ji."
"Bababa, I'm still talking about the "I Moved Myself" series. I finally know why the head office's performance is so poor."
…
Realizing this problem, he finally said: "You may not be used to my management style. I have been in this industry for more than ten years and have witnessed its development. I have followed Mr. Wang and others all the way and have experienced a lot. Do you have any questions?" You can ask me and come to me if you have any difficulties.”
The meeting finally ended. She asked everyone to continue working hard according to Ji Huai's previous arrangements. Everyone could also discuss and make plans. She even ordered milk tea for everyone every day for the first three days.
Just when she was full of confidence and felt that she was about to take over the fruits of Ji Huai's labor, she found that her performance continued to decline.
She was very dissatisfied and panicked, so she started asking employees to work overtime continuously. Everyone was dissatisfied with her. They had lost their enthusiasm for work and were lifeless. They all wanted to run to Ji Huai.
She couldn't keep up with the times, still stuck to the old routine, couldn't come up with new solutions, didn't show dignity in her dealings with others, wasn't lovable in her speech, and her employees had a rebellious mentality.
In just half a month, the store's performance dropped by half.
The performance of the main store declined under her hands, and Ji Huai took over to revive it. The performance here was good, but it continued to decline under her hands.
During the meeting, Mr. Wang’s face was dark and he was extremely unhappy. The declining performance is real money, and that means taking the money out of his pocket!
Li Ying instinctively wanted to shirk responsibility, so she told the group of employees, and then put some responsibility on herself. Anyway, it was not entirely her fault.
Mr. Wang was too aware of her temper and did not fight with her, but everyone could see that he was holding back.
This meeting was quite depressing for everyone.
Back at the store, Li Ying was anxious and contacted Li Liang again to inquire about Ji Huai's marketing methods. Li Liang secretly hid out and called her.
Ji Huai said that her live broadcast was not good enough and someone else had been replaced.
Ji Huai is capable, manages his subordinates in the right way, and makes good use of capable people. In the past, she relied on Li Ying's relationship to get a lot of commission even if she performed poorly in live broadcasts. Her ability has not improved, but now she is very transparent in the store.
Li Ying wanted to copy Ji Huai's management model, but his thinking was so fast that Li Liang himself didn't even understand it. He could only obey the arrangements and was not reused, so he couldn't explain it at all.
The performance of the head office is booming, and Li Ying is even more depressed and anxious. She inevitably gets emotional when working, bossing around her employees and deflecting her anger.
When she couldn't help it, the female clerk retorted: "Store manager Ji didn't do this before."
Ji Huai has methods and strategies, he is also a young man, he is proficient in marketing and has many ideas. Fang Qin has sufficient qualifications, is easy-going and has a wide network of contacts.
What abilities does Li Ying have
The most outstanding thing about her is her bad temper. I often get angry for no apparent reason during meetings, which makes people speechless. The routines are still the same, and the promotional plans are useless to consumers and are not novel at all.
Li Ying's lungs exploded upon hearing Ji Huai's name, and she continued to discuss Ji Huai's plan with a sullen face.
The age difference was too big, and she was stuck in the front, unable to put down her body and rush forward. Even if she took down Ji Huai's plan, she couldn't be the backbone and couldn't give reasonable command.
Performance dropped again and again.
When this wind blows away at the end of the year, the flow of people in the urban center will decrease. Nanguan District is close to the outskirts of the city. Migrant workers here are leaving the city again, and many residents have returned to the countryside, and the performance is even more dismal.
Li Ying was so anxious that her mouth was filled with blisters.
Although Ji Huai is from other provinces, he grew up here since he was a child.
Cai Zhen and Ji Jianhui never treated him badly. They spent money to go to a very good local private school in junior high school. Although he was playful, under the high pressure, he got through to the top of the key high schools and became enlightened again.
He is handsome and has a humorous temperament. When I was in junior high school, I got into fights, went to Internet cafes, and hung out with a group of rich boys every day. The old couple also knew that their family was poor. In order to prevent others from looking down on their son, they could buy him a pair of shoes worth four to five thousand yuan. There was no obstacle for him to integrate into the rich second-generation group.
In junior high school, he had many good buddies, all of whom were locals. Now that everyone has graduated from college two years ago, those who went abroad have returned and are taking over the family business one after another. It’s time to come out and have a good get-together.
Ji Huai has always been good at dealing with people, and he is doing well now. He is self-interested at heart. He has kept in touch with them in the past few years and has good interpersonal skills.
Everyone came out to meet a few times, and the feelings came back.
Yang Qi has a good relationship with him. They were classmates in junior high school. His family is engaged in real estate, and the newly developed real estate has an area of more than 100,000 yuan. Hearing that Ji Huai is now the store manager of a big-name electrical appliance, he is not surprised and said: " You can eat this bowl of rice.”
"Master Yang, support me?" Ji Huai was actually joking when he said this, pouring a glass of wine for the other party and another for himself.
Yang Qi sighed, then narrowed his eyes: "I don't even know how long I will have to spend with those old guys."
"You are just a little bird, you need to hide your tail." Ji Huai laughed at him, and then said, "I don't know how long the interest chain inside has been consolidated. It still takes time to uproot it."
"Yeah." Yang Qi took a sip of wine and shook his head.
Ji Huai did not expect to get involved in such a large real estate. He touched Yang Qi with his elbow: "When will the new project be handed over?"
Yang Qi: "Two years later."
"Can you give me a set at the internal price?" Ji Huai was not polite at all and said calmly, "I will get married when my girlfriend graduates."
"Let me ask for you." Yang Qi took the phone over.
…
Pan Yikan, who was next to him, heard the two chatting and asked Ji Huai, "Do you want to buy a wedding room?"
Ji Huai picked up the wine glass: "Isn't it enough to get the internal price for the wedding house and the internal price for the electrical appliances? It saves another sum of money."
Pan Yikan: "How much discount can you get?"
It was his words that Ji Huai was waiting for. He put down his wine glass, raised the corners of his mouth and made a gesture.
"So low?" Yang Qi was also surprised.
After all, it is a big brand, and the price is far lower than the market.
"Far lower than the promotion." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he seemed to say casually, "I negotiated the supply of Jinwan Hotel last time. In fact, we can still negotiate further. There is still room."
As he spoke, he glanced at Pan Yikan from the corner of his eye and saw that he was deep in thought. The other party didn't talk much and was more rigorous in doing things, and he didn't mention this topic again after that.
When Luo Yushu was in her second year of graduate school, Luo Hong also fell in love and brought his girlfriend home.
The woman was not very satisfied with the environment of the Luo family. It was a dark house in an alley, and she did not want to live here after getting married. Luo's parents wanted to save money for him to buy an apartment. The price of a newly opened property near their home was 10,000 yuan. Five, people in urban areas don’t even dare to think about it.
Luo's father and Luo's mother have only left tens of thousands of dollars in the past two years, but compared with housing prices, it is out of reach.
Now we are facing another problem. Luo Yushu and Luo Lan are not married yet. Luo Hong is younger than them and cannot rush ahead. They hurriedly found someone to propose marriage to Roland, and urged Luo Yushu to bring her boyfriend back.
Roland was very active and brought several boyfriends back, but none of them succeeded, but Luo Yushu remained unmoved.
She is not in a hurry, Luo's mother is, she wants to marry off all her daughters before her youngest son gets married. On the one hand, they are settled and don't have to worry about their parents' family. On the other hand, a family of three children is inevitably subject to discussion, especially if none of them are married. For the sake of his son's future, and also for the betrothal gift money and the share money from the wedding, they can all be used to supplement his son.
For multiple reasons, she took the initiative to make several calls to Luo Yushu and asked her to bring Ji Huai back as soon as possible.
Luo Yushu recently changed jobs and was under a lot of pressure at work. She had to write papers until midnight, and she kept nagging her, which made her feel very depressed.
Cai Zhen and Ji Jianhui were neither here during this time. A worker needed help with some work. Ji Jianhui went to work. Cai Zhen was good at cooking and helped with the cooking. I heard that the two of them could earn 500 a day, so they were ready to get busy. Don't come back until it's over.
While they were away, Ji Huai stayed overnight in her apartment.
Today he took a day off and came out of the shower. Luo Yushu received another call from Luo's mother and said again: "I am very busy and he is also very busy. Let's talk about it later."
She kept pushing for half a year, but the other party couldn't sit still.
"Is it so difficult for Mom to meet him? Or is it that he doesn't want to come back? You have been talking for so long. If you haven't met your parents yet, is it because you have no plans to get married? Isn't it a waste of time?" Luo's mother is not tough. This attitude makes it impossible to say harsh things.
She just met him once, and everything happened naturally after that.
"What's wrong?" Ji Huai saw that her face was not good and walked over to the other side.
Luo's mother heard his voice and asked Luo Yushu to give the phone to Ji Huai.
Luo Yushu didn't think about it at all. He didn't think it was anything. He took the call and said politely: "Hello, aunt, I'm Ji Huai."
He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. He looked at Luo Yushu frequently and responded to Luo's mother in a polite tone.
After a while, Ji Huai hung up the phone and asked her, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me."
Luo's mother said that she had been asked to take him home, but she never told him.
"No need to say it." Luo Yushu closed the computer, walked to the bed, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Ji Huai followed and sat on the edge of the bed: "Am I so helpless? You are not even willing to take me home."
"No." She denied, "We are still busy now and don't have much money, so we are not in a hurry to get married."
He raised his eyebrows and answered: "When you meet your parents, you must get married immediately? How long have I been taking you to meet them?"
Luo Yushu: "It's different."
"I promised my aunt that I will have a day off next month, so we can go back together then." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he thought for a while, "Anyway, you are going to graduate, so you can get married."
"No." She hugged the pillow and fell asleep again. "My deposit has not reached 300,000."
Ji Huai: "How old are you now?"
"Two hundred and sixty-seven thousand eight hundred yuan." She remembered it very clearly. She had just seen it and said, "Today's financial management income is not bad, thirty yuan."
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
He couldn't help but laugh when he saw her little money-obsessed look: "Now I'm meeting my parents, and then I'll get engaged, and I'll save it when I get married."
"You have to spend money as soon as you get engaged, and it will only become less and less." She thought clearly, counting her fingers with him, "As soon as you get engaged, many things will happen. My aunt just told me that she wanted to buy a house two days ago. Then the decoration, home appliances, and wedding photos..."
"That's not what you should think about." Ji Huai pulled her up and said, "Stop thinking about it and go have a meal with me."
Luo Yushu: "Didn't you make an appointment with your classmate?"
"It's out of the way."
…
…
Ji Huai made an appointment with Pan Yikan. When the other party contacted him, he knew there was hope.
The Pan family is far inferior to the Yang family, and Pan Yikan is also relatively low-key and cautious. Pan's father bought a piece of land in the early years, and now he has built a very small community with three buildings, one floor and six floors, and is now a small developer.
The houses they deliver with fine decoration are mainly sold to people coming from the north to spend the winter, so they must be equipped with home appliances.
Ovens, refrigerators, smart toilets, TVs, air conditioners, washing machines... require many home appliances. He didn't originally want to find Ji Huai, but his price was low and it was a big brand.
When Ji Huai came with Luo Yushu, Pan Yikan was slightly surprised, asked the two of them to sit down, and handed over the menu.
"My girlfriend, Luo Yushu." Ji Huai introduced, took the menu and placed it in front of Luo Yushu, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to take a break, so let's bring her to have a meal."
Pan Yikan nodded to express his understanding.
During this period, Ji Huai chatted with him, while Luo Yushu sat quietly and ate. From time to time, he brought her food. The two didn't have much to communicate with each other, but they had a strong sense of understanding.
At the last dinner party, Pan Yikan heard Ji Huai say that the two were getting married. He and Ji Huai were in the same high school, but he had also met Luo Yushu. From high school to university and out of society, he never imagined that the two of them could go so far.
Ji Huai seems to be carefree, but he is probably the first one among them to get married. It can also be seen that he is calm and reliable in important matters, and he is clear-minded and responsible. This is a plus for him.
Pan Yikan had already made preparations before he came. As long as it was lower than the current alternative, he would give the opportunity to Ji Huai, and Ji Huai also made preparations, each took a step back, and it was settled without much discussion.
He knew that it was the first time for the Pan family to enter this industry, the circle had not yet opened up, and Pan Yikan did not have so many evil thoughts, so this business was easy to achieve.
During this period, Ji Huai left the table to go to the bathroom and paid the bill.
After finishing the meal, Pan Yikan left first. Ji Huai walked with her to the mall. After entering, he asked her, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
She shook her head. She had to save the money. There would be many places to spend money in the future.
Ji Huai held her hand and walked into the jewelry store in front: "Let me buy you a diamond ring."
When he said this, her heartstrings suddenly tightened, and she let him pull her away. It took her a while to find her voice: "But diamond rings don't keep their value."
"Are you still considering selling it?" Ji Huai didn't think about this level. He pointed to one of the items in the cabinet and looked at the shopping guide, "Take this one out and let me take a look."
"Okay." The other party opened the cabinet and took it out.
Ji Huai took Luo Yushu's hand and put it on her, and she asked him: "You are in such a happy mood, will you get a big commission if you negotiate this deal?"
"fine."
He didn't say anything specific, and Luo Yushu wouldn't ask too much and just chose the diamond ring with him.
She wanted to buy a cheaper one, and Ji Huai suggested buying a medium-priced one. The necklace could be a little more expensive, but she didn't have an expensive necklace yet.
Luo Yushu spent half an hour choosing her diamond ring and necklace with him. They spent a total of more than 7,000 yuan, which made her feel very sad.
Ji Huai bought a diamond ring and necklace and put them on her on the spot. When Cai Zhen came back and saw it, her eyes narrowed with laughter. She also heard that Luo's mother wanted to see Ji Huai, so she not only urged them to go back, but also prepared gifts in advance.
Feeling that the process was immediately accelerated, Ji Huai took a break and went back to Luo's house with her.
Along the way, Luo Yushu was even more uneasy than him, and kept telling him: "My eldest sister is not very good at talking. If my parents say something you don't like to hear, don't worry about it."
"I know." Ji Huai nodded.
Getting closer and closer to Luo's house, Luo Yushu's palms were sweating. Ji Huai took her hand, couldn't help laughing, and pulled her into his arms.
so cute.
The Luo family took it seriously, but because they had to entertain guests, they couldn't continue the business. Luo's mother even cooked a table of dishes and waited for Luo Yushu to bring Ji Huai back.
Roland also got up early in the morning, did some work and then started talking.
She was curious about what Luo Yushu's boyfriend looked like. Instead of looking for a good local, he found an outsider. He was so good-looking. If she looked like him, she could marry a rich second generation.
Thinking about it, she criticized Luo's mother again: "Mom, it's all your fault for making me so ugly!"
Luo's mother was obviously used to it: "Go and take out the cup quickly, Xiao Shu and her boyfriend may be arriving soon."
Roland stood up reluctantly, then paused.
Luo Yushu walked in, followed by a man beside her. At first glance, he is tall, long-legged, young and handsome, with an angular profile.
He was wearing a blue shirt, which was very high-quality, and he was carrying several boxes of gift boxes in his hands.
Luo's mother also didn't expect Luo Yushu's boyfriend to be so handsome. Her daughter was good-looking, and her neighbors always praised her since she was little. Girls with good looks should marry well, so she has always been dissatisfied with Ji Huai. At first glance, he looked good, but his eyes were a bit complicated.
The two seemed perfectly matched.
Ji Huai followed Luo Yushu in and said politely: "Hello, aunt."
He behaves politely and naturally.
Roland had just made a face, but now he was very enthusiastic. One moment he went to call Luo's father, and the next moment he made tea for Ji Huai and served it to him. Luo Yushu even frowned slightly because of the abnormality.
Ji Huai took the tea she poured and said, "Thank you, sister."
"No, you're welcome." Roland's smile froze. Then, she saw the diamond ring in Luo Yushu's hand, and her expression changed even more.
She also brought back several boyfriends, but none of them succeeded. None of the men she dated gave her money, let alone a diamond ring. Luo Yushu's boyfriend was good-looking, and he bought a mobile phone and a diamond ring. He always came to the door with a bunch of gifts, which made her feel unbalanced.
Luo Hong didn't come home, so Luo's father brought out the soup and several people went to the table to eat.
Luo's mother also had sharp eyes. She understood when she saw the diamond ring on Luo Yushu's hand. She exchanged a few words and pretended to say casually: "You have been dating for so long. I asked Xiaoshu when did you plan to get married? She said you are very I’m busy, I won’t get married for the time being, and I said I can take you to our house even if you don’t get married.”
Ji Huai was very sincere: "Auntie is right. Xiao Shu is about to graduate, and I am also considering getting married, so I came to visit you two. I wonder what the customs here are? I will go back and discuss it with my parents."
Roland responded quickly: "I heard that your family has three to five million yuan, and she has gone to graduate school. We have someone here who has not gone to graduate school. She has three hundred thousand yuan, and the house has a name."
"Eat your food." Luo's father warned in a low voice, and then told Ji Huai, "Don't listen to her nonsense. The main reason is that the two of them have a good relationship."
Luo's mother didn't want to disturb Huang Luo Yushu's marriage, but she still asked tentatively: "What do your parents mean?"
Ji Huai: "My parents follow me, and I follow Xiao Shu."
Luo's mother originally thought she was going to bargain, but after hearing this, she felt that she was a decent person and said, "Let's not talk about the bride price. You are out of town and don't have a house here, right?"
Ji Huai nodded: "Buy it after you get married."
"Why did you buy it after you got married?" Roland grasped the problem, "What if you don't buy it after you get married? Who can you ask to explain? Buy it before marriage. If you don't buy it, you won't get the certificate."
Luo's father and Luo's mother also thought it made sense. Ji Huai put down his chopsticks, pursed his lips and said softly: "If you buy a bigger house, you will have to take out a loan. I want to add Xiao Shu's name and give her some protection."
Luo Yushu didn't expect this at all, her eyes flashed slightly, and she turned her head to look at him.
Luo's mother asked again: "Where do you buy it?"
"Where do you want to buy?" Ji Huai asked Luo Yushu.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's discuss it ourselves." Luo Yushu hadn't thought about it yet and didn't want to be forced to answer. She poured him a drink, looked at Luo's mother and said, "I decide my own affairs."
She was good-looking, easy to talk to, and could add her name before marriage. Luo's mother didn't want to worry too much, so she just mentioned the bride price.
She wanted to say 280,000 yuan first, and the bottom line was 188,000 yuan, but she didn't expect that Ji Huai didn't counteroffer and just nodded, "Okay."
"Don't you go and discuss it with your parents?" Luo's mother reminded again. The conversation went so smoothly that she felt a little uncomfortable.
Ji Huai: "They listen to me."
"That's fine." Mother Luo smiled and asked him to eat more food. She kept chatting with him, and she became more and more satisfied with it.
What about people from other provinces? She has a good job, can buy a house, and is willing to give her a bride price of 288,000 yuan. Who dares to say that Luo Yushu is not good at marrying? Her face was also very bright.
When Luo Hong gets married, Luo Yushu will also be a plus.
Luo Yushu said nothing during the whole process, and there was no emotion on his face.
After the meal, she helped Luo's mother clear the dishes, while Ji Huai went to help Luo's father carry rice.
Luo's mother quietly said to Luo Yushu: "The bride price is 288,000, and my mother will give you 150,000 in return. Keep the 150,000 for yourself, and don't tell Ji Huai."
She was embarrassed to deduct too much. After all, the Ji family agreed to add a name to the house, and the remaining 138,000 yuan could be saved for Luo Hong. Plus the share money recovered from the wedding, they could save a few more years and borrow a little more to Luo Hong. Hong made the down payment.
"How much gift will mom withhold when eldest sister gets married?" Luo Yushu suddenly asked her.
"It's not a loss for your eldest sister." Luo's mother felt worried when she said it. "Maybe I will have to support her. Your brother will make me and your father even more worried."
Luo Yushu didn't speak anymore, her eyes changed from turbulent to calm, and she worked silently.
