"Sounds nice, but who can’t say nice things?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and looked over, seeing a middle-aged man in his forties. The man wore a brand new black Zhongshan suit, his hair ticulously grood, and at that mont, he was looking at her with his arms crossed, an expression of disdain on his face.
After a careful look at the face, she was sure she didn’t know this person at all and wondered why he was being sarcastic in such a situation.
After a mont of silence, she smiled at the man, "This comrade is right. Saying a thousand words can’t compare to proving with actual actions. I hope everyone can supervise us more in the future and give us more suggestions so we can work together to make our canteen better."
What she said was sincere, and the middle-aged man seed a bit surprised she would respond that way.
His eyes showed admiration, and then he clapped a few tis, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with appreciation, "Young comrade, you’re quite poised for your age, not bad at all."
He turned with a smile to Yan Guohua, "Old Yan, your departnt store’s Comrade Xiao Su is indeed impressive. I heard Director Song ntion it before, and today I see it’s true to its na."
Su Xiaoxiao slightly lowered her head, her expression still sowhat shy, "You flatter ."
She had just noticed from the man’s manner and attire that he wasn’t an ordinary person, and sure enough...
"Old Chu, why are you here?"
Yan Guohua finally noticed him and looked over with a puzzled expression.
"Why aren’t you staying at your departnt store and ca to my place?"
His tone carried a bit of disdain, but as he spoke, he walked over and playfully punched the man, "What, Manager Chu, do you have any instructions?"
"To hell with instructions!"
Chu Jianjun swore, then seed to realize there were many young female comrades around. His words were a bit too crude.
He hurriedly corrected himself, "I’m not busy lately, so I ca over to have a drink with you and take a look at that Comrade Xiao Su Director Song spoke highly of."
Chu Jianjun’s face had a kindly smile, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a hint of admiration.
He and Yan Guohua were comrades-in-arms in the past, and after demobilization, they both beca departnt store managers. Over the years, they have supported each other and made progress together, a bond that could be considered forged in life and death.
"Your Comrade Xiao Su here, I have a good feeling about her. Our branch happens to be short of a store departnt director, why don’t we let her give it a try?"
At this point, he smiled directly at Su Xiaoxiao, "Comrade Xiao Su, I heard you once served as acting store departnt director. Would you consider coming to our branch? I’ll make you official, unlike Old Yan, who’s so stingy, giving an acting position and then replacing you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Guohua slapped him on the shoulder, "Old Yan, what do you an? Trying to poach soone from ?"
"People go to higher places, water flows to lower places. If there’s a better opportunity, you can’t stop Xiao Su from going, right?"
While speaking, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao again. Earlier, he had deliberately said that to test the young comrade’s ability to respond, and he didn’t expect this young girl to have such a steady nature despite her youth.
He quite liked this little girl. It would be even better if he could recruit her to their departnt store.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect this man to be a manager from another departnt store and invite her to be a store departnt director imdiately.
Honestly, it felt nice to be appreciated, but she didn’t want to be a store departnt director. She only took the acting director role before because the extra duty ant an extra thirty bucks salary.
If she went there, she would just earn a fixed salary, unlike now, where she could earn bonuses by selling things. It was simply too satisfying.
But he’s a general manager, after all, and directly rejecting him would be too disrespectful.
After thinking for a mont, she spoke, "Thank you, Manager Chu, for your appreciation. However, I’m just a new salesperson, and I haven’t done my main job well yet. I shouldn’t aim too high and think about getting a promotion. Compared to the senior employees, I’m far behind. Many others are more qualified for this position. Right now, I just want to focus on doing my primary job well and not let down the opportunities the leaders have given ."
One is a store departnt director, and the other a regular salesperson—most people would choose the forr.
This little girl just gave it up like that.
Chu Jianjun looked at Su Xiaoxiao with even more appreciation and smiled, "Alright, if you ever change your mind, you can co to anyti."
Yan Guohua slapped him on the shoulder and firmly turned him in another direction, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a drink to stop you from always wanting to poach my people."
The two left, chatting and laughing. As they left, Yan Guohua turned his head and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Comrade Xiao Su, you can have your mom and sister co tomorrow to discuss the details of the canteen contract."
The canteen contract for the departnt store was confird to be with them.
Su Xiaoxiao felt excited inside and quickly responded, "Okay, Manager Yan."
Liu Cuilan and Xu Zhaodi were still a bit bewildered at that mont and didn’t expect to actually secure the contract.
Xu Zhaodi looked at Su Xiaoxiao as she walked over and said, "Xiaoxiao, pinch quickly to see if I’m dreaming."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, she smiled helplessly, it was just contracting a small canteen in the unit, but look at how excited these two were. In the future, when the state opens up its policies, she plans to lead them to open chain stores.
Su Xiaoxiao only took a short leave and now had to go back to work.
She hurriedly said sothing to the two of them and rushed off.
As she passed by Zhang Dongi, seeing her almost bulging eyes from anger, her mood inexplicably improved.
"What’s so amazing? Just lucky, huh?"
Zhang Dongi stomped her foot in anger, almost wishing she could tear apart Su Xiaoxiao’s smiling face on the spot.
Su Xiaoxiao had just arrived at the subsidiary food counter on the first floor when two pairs of eyes imdiately turned to her.
Zhang Yulan couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, what happened with the canteen contract? Who actually won it?"
Her voice was so loud that she nearly blurted out the question, causing several pairs of eyes nearby to turn their attention here.
Facing nurous curious gazes, she calmly raised her hand and pointed at herself.
Zhang Yulan was puzzled, "What do you an? Are you hungry? Or thirsty?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
"Sister Zhang, I an we won the bid."
"What?"
Zhang Yulan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
If mory serves, quite a few chefs participated in this contest, and it turned out Su Xiaoxiao’s family won.
Qin Shuang, standing nearby, looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration and said, "Xiaoxiao, I knew you were amazing."
Although she didn’t know where Qin Shuang’s blind confidence in her ca from, it felt pretty good to be trusted.
Just as she was about to say more, soone suddenly bumped into her shoulder.
