Chapter 152 The Stupid Boss
Mubo's business is booming thanks to its two offline stores, online store and WeChat store.
The physical store has staff doing sales, but Ye Zhenzhen is still responsible for product selection and marketing plans. No matter how much trust she has in her employees, she cannot let them know the purchase price and supplier, and she has to go to the wholesale market in person.
The online store basically involves uploading photos and product introductions. Ye Zhenzhen has to do these, reply to Wangwang messages and then hand them over to the store guide. Once someone places an order, the products will be shipped.
The store has a special WeChat group. Most customers who have purchased something from the store are in the group. Customers will be the first to know about any activities, and occasional after-sales issues are also resolved on WeChat.
Zhongli is still in charge of the model photos. When he was working part-time, he was not as tired as taking photos for his own shop even though he took photos of hundreds of sets of clothes a day.
There was no problem posting selfies on WeChat Moments, but the pictures uploaded to the online store were not clear enough. Later, they found a photographer to work with and took photos together after the new models arrived.
As the business grows, you can directly find a batch of goods to purchase, and the profit margin is relatively larger. In order to retain customers, many batch manufacturers allow appropriate credit and settle the payment after the goods are sold.
I started doing micro-business as a side job, with the idea of finding another sales channel for my store. It was an unexpected success, but I didn't expect that the micro-business would be very good.
After reaping the benefits, Ye Zhenzhen asked offline store guides to recommend two customers to add her on WeChat every day. Even if the customers did not buy clothes when they came into the store, they had to find ways to get them to add her on WeChat, and it would be counted in the performance evaluation. Failure to do so would result in a fine.
Employees will only hate their boss but will not fall in love with him. They always feel that some of his requests are crazy or difficult.
Ye Zhenzhen understood this truth by chance. That day, she was holding a tablet to solve an after-sales problem for a WeChat customer. The customer felt that the size of the clothes was not suitable and needed to be changed. Ye Zhenzhen went to the second floor to find clothes. Standing at the door of the warehouse, she heard two new employees chatting in the warehouse.
Xiao Sun said: "I have to figure out ways to get customers to add me on WeChat every day. It's annoying for them."
Xiao Wang said: "If you don't increase the amount, you will be fined. Sometimes you will even have to pay the boss if you don't make any orders for the day."
Xiao Sun was a little excited: "Do all bosses like to make things difficult for their employees? This is simply insane! They are looking for trouble."
Xiao Wang lowered his voice and said, "You just like to show off! Some customers don't like to be added on WeChat. Wouldn't that offend them?"
Xiao Sun said: "He is so stupid that he can be a boss! He must be drunk!"
Xiao Wang said: "These days even idiots can become bosses, we are just unlucky..."
Complaints were definitely emotional, mixed with a few harsh words, so in order to avoid embarrassment to each other, Ye Zhenzhen tiptoed back to the first floor.
Ye Zhenzhen walked out of the store and stared blankly into a flower art coffee shop.
She thought about it for a long time. If she had not experienced those things at that time, and had not left Zhichu, and had climbed up step by step, getting closer and closer to Wen Baijing, would there be conflicts and misunderstandings between employees and bosses? Would she also be angry and complain that the boss was an idiot?
Will conflicts at work affect your relationship? Can you really be 100% rational at work when dating your boss?
Maybe Wen Baijing would also think she was a fool! They might break up someday.
Is this what they call blessing and misfortune?
Ye Zhenzhen pondered over it but still couldn't figure it out.
A pedestrian passed by outside the coffee shop, and she saw her own reflection in the glass, a bright smiling face.
She had forgotten how long it had been, but when taking selfies, no matter how she adjusted her facial muscles, she couldn’t capture her old expression.
Unexpectedly, in the third year after the breakup, she would smile like this when she thought of Wen Baijing.
Zhongli waved his hand in front of her for a long time, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about? You are laughing so happily."
Ye Zhen Zhen regained her composure and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "You're back so soon?"
Zhongli rolled his eyes. "I've already packed his luggage. Wouldn't it be quick to go get it? One minute is more than enough."
Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her hands to hold Zhongli's hands, and smiled and comforted him: "You still have me. When we get old, we can live in a nursing home together."
Zhongli laughed angrily and hit her: "Who is like you who can't get over the breakup? I want to enjoy my relationship and find someone better than him to marry."
Chen Bo's parents felt that Zhong Li's job was unstable and that he was from another place, so they never agreed to let them get married. At first, Chen Bo resisted his parents, but later, when he found out that the blind date had a background, Chen Bo compromised.
Several years of love could not withstand the reality and eventually it was burned to ashes.
Ye Zhenzhen held her chin and joked, "What kind of boyfriend are you looking for next?"
Zhongli raised an eyebrow: "Rich second generation, must be handsome!"
Ye Zhenzhen leaned closer to the pink peony on the table and sniffed it: "Flowers are more fragrant than men. I like flowers more than men now."
Zhongli didn't quite believe it and tutted, "When some men appear, you don't even like money, let alone imported flowers!"
Ye Zhenzhen's face was filled with embarrassment, and she defended herself without any confidence: "How could I?"
Zhongli was very disappointed: "Why don't you become a nun?"
Ye Zhenzhen blinked and asked blankly, "How do I look like a nun?"
Zhongli said unhappily, "I don't know why you keep your chastity like a virgin! I wonder how long you can last relying on memories."
Ye Zhenzhen gave her a cute smile: "I just haven't met the right person yet, it has nothing to do with others."
Zhongli didn't bother to pay attention to her. He spent his best years of youth just dwelling on memories. Anyone would think that he was crazy.
The business in the store was getting better and better, but Zhongli was still working as a substitute teacher. As the saying goes, diligence makes perfect, while playfulness makes waste. Zhongli had been learning piano since she was a child, and she was reluctant to give up her skills.
There is one advantage of Zhongli staying in the music store, which is that he can help Zhichu to gain more customers.
The elegant and beautiful piano teacher is simply a walking billboard.
Since opening the clothing store, they seldom wear clothes from other brands, especially in the first year. They would wear Mu Bo's clothes and parade around the streets, telling passers-by about Mu Bo's clothes, making themselves look like pyramid scheme leaders.
Zhongli seemed to be laughing on the surface and just laughed it off the heartbreak, but she was not so carefree at heart. The best five years of a girl's life were wasted.
However, Zhongli is more optimistic and open-minded than Ye Zhenzhen.
Zhongli didn't want to complain to Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen was a sensitive and empathetic person. Before Zhongli started crying, her eyes were red.
Ye Zhenzhen has not gotten over the breakup yet, and Zhongli is afraid that the negative emotions will affect her. If two bosses fall ill at the same time, will they still be able to keep the business?
The Armani Bar is full of flashing lights, dynamic music, energy and passion.
On the dance floor, Zhongli's wavy hair danced to the rhythm, standing out in the crowd.
After dancing for nearly half an hour, Zhongli felt a little tired and a little sober.
Zhongli walked out from the dance floor. Her one-shoulder dress outlined her curvy figure. Her white, bony shoulders and the black skirt gave a strong visual impact.
Back at the booth, Zhongli half-leaned on the sofa, turned sideways, and reached out to push away the hair stuck to the back of his neck.
There was a person in the booth next to him, whose eyes were on Zhongli from beginning to end.
The man watched her with interest all night.
