Chapter 552: Yan Siming Knows!
Yan Siming held the promotional poster in his hand, his lips tightly pursed.
“Good News! Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket will open for business on February 6th!
“Address: 38 Chengnan Road.”
Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh was the brand created by Xiao Lingyu. And its large vegetable supermarket was opening in City Z.
What hurt Yan Siming was that Xiao Lingyu didn’t inform him.
After her marriage, they couldn’t even contact each other anymore?
Yan Siming leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
‘Xiao Lingyu, are we not even friends anymore?
‘Otherwise, why didn’t you inform me that you opened a store in City Z?’
Yan Siming leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think. Then, he gave secretary Wang a call.
“Secretary Wang, come in for a moment!”
A moment later, secretary Wang came in and asked, “Chairman!”
Yan Siming instructed, “Look at this poster!”
Secretary Wang was a little puzzled. Why would his boss ask him to look at a poster? He picked up the poster and looked at it carefully. It was a normal poster, advertising an ordinary supermarket. ‘Does Chairman Yan think this small supermarket can threaten the National Union Supermarket of the Yan family? How is that possible?’
Suddenly his eyes widened as he stared at the title.
Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh! He ignored many details because his focus was on the words, Taoyuan Village. Secretary Wang naturally remembered the woman who won his boss’ attention. As Yan Siming’s right-hand man, Secretary Wang handled most of Yan Siming’s business. Secretary Wang also had a very good memory.
He remembered that time when the boss of Global Tourism Development Company, Liao Guohui, had offended this woman from Taoyuan Village. Liao Guohui lost his company and was imprisoned. Secretary Wang then confirmed that his boss had a crush on this woman.
Later on, his thoughts were indeed confirmed.
However, he did not expect that his boss would actually care so much about Xiao Lingyu. He called him in when he saw the poster. But why would Yan Siming ask him to look at the poster?
Secretary Wang looked at Yan Siming with some confusion and asked, “Chairman, this poster...”
Yan Siming said, “Xiao Lingyu owns this shop. I want you to go to the flower shop and order a few flower baskets to send to her on her opening day.”
“Order a few flower baskets?” Secretary Wang asked with some confusion, “Do we need so many?” One or two would be enough.
Yan Siming said, “Order a few more. Send them to her as a friend and as a company.”
“Yes!” Secretary Wang nodded after receiving the order. ‘You’re the boss. You can order as many as you want.’
After secretary Wang left, a smile appeared on Yan Siming’s gorgeous face as he said, “Since you didn’t tell me, I’d have to go and congratulate you in high profile.
“Then, everyone in City Z will know that this supermarket is protected by Yan Siming. By then, you won’t be able to shake off this connection.”
...
“Quick. Arrange all that!”
“That and that!”
“Time is almost up. If there’s anything that you haven’t prepared, hurry up and get ready. There are many people gathered outside. When the door opens, this place will be crowded.”
“Also, you have to pay attention to thieves and pickpockets.”
“All of you will be responsible for your stations! If anything goes missing, it’ll be taken out of your salaries!”
Zeng Yaozu was dressed in a suit and tie today. He was very handsome, which made all the female employees blush.
They didn’t expect that the man who came here a while ago would be the general manager.
Zeng Yaozu’s arrival made Li Xiaomei, Zhang Li, and the others’ eyes light up, and they looked a little excited. They were the only ones who talked to the general manager that day.
Zhang Li patted her chest in front of Li Xiaomei and said as if she had been frightened, “Fortunately, I didn’t speak too harshly that day and didn’t offend the general manager. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have had to resign and find another job.”
Li Xiaomei teased, “Haven’t you always been meaning to find a rich husband? Our general manager is the perfect candidate. Why don’t you go and talk to him?”
Zhang Li was a simple woman. She said what was on her mind. She was also a little vain and snobbish. She was always clamoring to find a rich husband. However, what rich man would come to a vegetable shop?
Li Xiaomei joked, but actually, she was trying to probe Zhang Li. With a rich man like Zeng Yaozu around, what woman wouldn’t be tempted?
Zhang Li was rather ditzy, but she was quite pretty, and some men liked ditzy girls.
Li Xiaomei didn’t know what kind of woman her general manager liked, so she decided to send Zhang Li out to test him. Her goal? Well, to hook Zeng Yaozu, of course!
Which woman didn’t like a handsome, young, and rich man?
Zhang Li pouted gloomily, “What’s the point? The general manager already has a girlfriend.”
Li Xiaomei was stunned and said in disbelief, “The general manager has a girlfriend?!”
Zhang Li looked at Li Xiaomei and said, “Xiaomei, what’s so strange about that? I mean, it’s stranger for a man his age not to have a girlfriend.”
Li Xiaomei looked around and then said casually, “But he is still not married, right? Zhang Li, don’t you like the general manager? Why don’t you try and pursue him?”
Zhang Li immediately shook her head and said firmly, “I am not going to be someone’s mistress!”
Li Xiaomei, “...” This idiot. Why is she so hard to control all of a sudden?
Just as Xiaomei was about to say something, Zhou Xiaolu’s voice sounded behind her. “Zhang Li, there’s something wrong with the number of goods on your shelf. Go and take a look.”
Zhang Li nodded. “Okay!” She immediately ran over.
However, Li Xiaomei’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered how much Zhao Xiaolu had heard. She wondered if Zhao Xiaolu had heard her instigating Zhang Li to break up the general manager’s relationship. Zhou Xiaolu wasn’t an idiot.
Li Xiaomei looked up at Zhou Xiaolu and saw a sarcastic smile on her face. Then, Zhou Xiaolu went back to her work. Ever since Li Xiaomei showed her true colors, the relationship between these two soured.
Li Xiaomei was guilty, while Zhou Xiaolu was disdainful.
Later, when Zeng Yaozu came to the supermarket to be the general manager, he especially looked at Zhou Xiaolu’s resume and found that she was actually a university graduate.
Zeng Yaozu thought about it and talked to Zhou Xiaolu for a while before promoting her to be the team leader of the cargo team.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t have any experience. She could slowly learn.
This made Li Xiaomei secretly stomp her feet in anger. However, what could she do? As a junior high school graduate, even if she wanted to complain, she couldn’t do anything.
Because the shop was opening, they were getting a lot of stock. Everyone was busy. Some of the younger girls actually quit because of the added workload.
However, Zhou Xiaolu was able to calm the hearts of the entire team. Then, she managed them in an orderly manner. At least they did not make any mistakes in their work.
This made Zeng Yaozu satisfied and confident in Zhou Xiaolu’s ability.
“Alright, let’s have a short meeting!” Half an hour before the opening, the general manager, Zeng Yaozu, gathered all the employees for a meeting.
“Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket will open in half an hour. There will be a lot of people coming in later. I hope that no one will be flustered.
“Also, what is the service principle of our supermarket?”
“Customer first and service with a smile!”
