Chapter 89 Interview
In early December, a ray of light yellow sunlight gently dispelled the thick fog that covered Phoenix Lake.
Since she and Wen Baijing reconciled, Ye Zhenzhen has been living in Guanlanju most of the time in recent days. She is not a good cook and can only cook a few simple dishes, which are not very good. Thinking of making Wen Baijing live more comfortably, she also lives in Guanlanju with peace of mind.
On odd-numbered early morning shifts, Wen Baijing would take her to work on the way.
Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to look at him with a bright smile on her face, "I have to go back to Tinglan Garden after work today."
Wen Baijing glanced at her sideways, his eyes filled with tenderness, and his voice was gentle: "Then I'll pick you up after get off work?"
"Maybe I'll get back to Guanlanju before you!" Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were moist and her voice was soft and gentle, "Drive slowly on the road, and don't smoke behind my back..."
Wen Baijing raised his eyes and interrupted her, saying, "I haven't smoked behind your back recently, don't accuse me..."
Ye Zhenzhen's lips were filled with smiles, and her tone was playful: "It's good that there is none..."
...
At 3pm, before leaving get off work, Ye Zhenzhen opened another order. After sending the customer away, she went to the warehouse to buy more samples. While searching the shelves, Xia Tong followed her into the warehouse.
Xia Tong closed the door and stood behind it, smiling and asking, "Is there anything good happening recently? I see you've been in good shape these days?"
Ye Zhenzhen stood on tiptoe to look for samples on the shelf. She was slightly startled when she heard the words. She looked at Xia Tong in surprise and said with a flickering tone, "It's nothing good. You think too much."
She pulled out a sample garment from the shelf and continued to search, bending over.
Could it be that Xia Tong was gifted with the ability to tell fortunes, like a demigod? The thought was so funny that she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xia Tong was puzzled when she saw her laughing secretly. "Why are you laughing so foolishly?"
"Nothing, I just think you're cute!" Ye Zhenzhen gathered all the samples, carefully held them in her arms, patted Xia Tong's shoulder, and motioned her to leave the warehouse.
Xia Tong looked at her suspiciously, then returned to her smiling face and whispered in her ear, "Don't try that on me. You're just very happy and you often giggle to yourself. Tell me the truth, do you have a boyfriend?"
Ye Zhenzhen raised her lips slightly and replied ambiguously: "The warehouse is crowded and hot, let's get out!"
As she spoke, she pushed Xia Tong out of the warehouse and said jokingly, "You really should go set up a stall under the overpass. Being a shopping guide is a waste of your talent."
The two were walking out, one in front and one behind.
Xia Tong paused, turned around and looked at her, her face full of confusion: "What are you doing under the overpass?"
Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Wear a black robe, sunglasses, and a paper fan..."
Xia Tong was puzzled: "What do you mean? I don't understand..."
Ye Zhenzhen tried hard to hold back her laughter and shook her head at Xia Tong.
Having a lovely colleague can relieve a lot of stress and fatigue when work is too boring.
Apart from Xia Tong, Ye Zhenzhen would not be so free and unrestrained in front of other people in the store, without having to worry about saying the wrong thing and offending others.
Xia Tong reacted and pretended to hit her, pretending to be angry and said: "Okay! How dare you say that I am a charlatan..."
The two walked out of the warehouse and were playing around. Ye Zhenzhen freed one hand and closed the warehouse door.
The store manager saw this and cleared his throat from a distance to remind them to pay attention to their appearance. The two of them instantly fell silent, restrained their wanton smiles, and immediately straightened their appearance.
Ye Zhenzhen turned on the iron, unpacked the sample clothes and was hanging them on the hanger. The store manager came over and told her:
"The regional manager Wang Miao will come to the store later. The new Yintai store will open at the end of the year. The regional manager and I recommended you. When he interviews you later, you should perform well and don't be nervous."
Ye Zhenzhen's hand holding the iron paused for a few seconds.
She looked at the store manager and said sincerely, "Okay, thank you, store manager."
The store manager encouraged her and reminded her again and again what she should pay attention to.
She was a little nervous but full of confidence. People should always strive to climb up. Even if it is just a small progress, it is worth praising.
Recently, the store manager taught her personally, and she also studied various materials about store management after get off work. Not to mention that her preparations were foolproof, but she was also very confident. An employee recommended by the same company must have a more comprehensive understanding of the company's corporate culture and development process than an external employee; and her work ability and performance can also be called outstanding.
Thinking it shouldn't be a big problem, she kept encouraging herself.
If she told Wen Baijing directly that she wanted to be the manager of Yintai Xindian, she might have a better chance of success. She didn't want to bother Wen Baijing with such a small matter, and hoped to get the opportunity through her own efforts.
Sitting in the cafe downstairs, Ye Zhenzhen tried her best to behave decently and tried her best to relax herself.
Regional manager Wang Miao is in his early thirties. He looks very serious and never smiles.
After a brief introduction, Wang Miao asked a question about display techniques, "How many display techniques do you know?"
Ye Zhenzhen answered calmly: "Three. The first is the piano key method, also known as the interval method: the interval display is based on the depth, lightness, depth, and lightness of the color; the second is the gradient method: the color is displayed in sequence according to its brightness and purity; the third is the repetition method, which can be broken down into color and element repetition..."
Wang Miao nodded and continued to ask without revealing his expression: "What do you think is the possible reason why a store is not doing well? What measures would you take?"
Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath and crossed her fingers on the table. "Apart from objective factors such as location and products, I think it may be due to the staff's lack of sales skills, lack of understanding of products, inability to make recommendations to customers based on individual needs, messy displays that fail to showcase and highlight product features, and inadequate maintenance of members, etc."
She paused for a few seconds, looked directly into Wang Miao's eyes, and replied: "If I were in such a situation, I would first affirm and encourage the employees, build their confidence, and let them believe that they can do well; then train them in sales, matching, and communication skills; keep good customer files and make regular return visits..."
Wang Miao asked again: "How to increase the joint liability rate?"
Ye Zhenzhen almost didn't think about it, and naturally blurted out the experience she had summarized at work: "Actively recommend new and popular models, let customers try them on more; make sure to match them as a set, and match them with belts and other accessories; if the customer comes to the store with a friend, try to use sales talk to get the friend to try it on as well..."
This is the conclusion she came to after practicing it in her work, after countless dry mouths and sweats. And the results are good, not just mechanical application of rote memorization.
She suddenly stopped being nervous and focused on the interview. It was more like exchanging work experience and sharing her daily work experience.
If someone asks her what she ate yesterday, she may have to recall it, but if someone asks her about the orders she placed yesterday, she can tell you the details of each order without hesitation, including the style, size, color, price, customer name, etc., almost to the last detail.
Wang Miao picked up the coffee cup, took a sip slowly, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to be a store manager?"
Ye Zhenzhen was still immersed in the topic of work and did not expect Wang Miao to change the subject.
She was stunned for a moment, a faint smile appeared in her eyes, and she said frankly: "I want to be a better person, and I firmly believe that hard work will be rewarded."
Every word was exceptionally clear, and there was confidence in his speech.
Wang Miao still smiled and asked, "Are there any other reasons?"
"I want to make money..." Ye Zhenzhen didn't continue speaking, but just smiled calmly at Wang Miao.
She subconsciously touched her left wrist, lowered her eyes to look at her wrist, and a gentle and calm smile filled the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Wang Miao, who was standing opposite him, said seriously, "I am very optimistic about you and hope that everything you wish for will come true."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up. She raised her head and looked at Wang Miao, saying happily, "Thank you, leader!"
