"What? You old thing actually want to poach our store’s people, where do you get the face for that?"
Yan Guohua imdiately erupted like a firecracker, "Great, if it weren’t for my agreent, could your First Departnt Store have made it to the newspaper? And now you even dream of poaching my people, you’re out of your mind!"
This traitor, if I knew it was going to be like this, I shouldn’t have cooperated with them for the promotional event.
Chen Guangjian was unconcerned, "Always giving yourself too much credit, this idea was clearly Mr. Xiao Su’s, it was his suggestion to cooperate, nothing to do with you!"
"I’ll beat you, you shaless old thing!"
Yan Guohua was about to rush over, but then the door to the office was knocked.
"General Manager, may I co in?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to get involved in their quarrel, especially since First and Second Departnt Store had just been praised in the paper. If there’s news about the two general managers fighting right after, what would the higher-ups think?
Great, I’ve just praised your unity and friendship, and now you’re fighting, where does that leave leadership’s dignity?
Upon hearing her voice, Yan Guohua’s expression softened a bit and he pushed Chen Guangjian aside, "Move out of the way, you’re blocking the door."
Chen Guangjian: "..."
"Co in."
Yan Guohua spoke in a deep tone.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the office and imdiately felt the air thick with tension.
If it wasn’t for her presence acting as a barrier, Su Xiaoxiao guessed the two would have already started fighting.
"Xiao Su, co here, keep your distance from that shaless old thing."
Yan Guohua spoke with disdain.
Chen Guangjian ignored him, looking kindly at Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiao Su, I’m here to discuss sothing with you."
Su Xiaoxiao roughly guessed what he wanted to say but still nodded, "General Manager Chen, please go ahead."
"I want to poach you over to our First Departnt Store, how about double your current salary?"
Yan Guohua exploded upon hearing it, "You shaless old thing, you dare to poach soone right in front of ? If I don’t beat you today, I’d be letting myself down."
Saying this, he grabbed Chen Guangjian’s collar.
Chen Guangjian wouldn’t take this lying down, he turned to Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Xiao Su, why don’t you step aside for a mont while I give this old thing a lesson, it won’t take long."
After that, the two imdiately started scuffling.
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, realizing their fight wasn’t at all what she’d imagined.
"Old thing, I threw scissors just now, I win, hahaha."
"Ugh, you clearly cheated, I saw you threw late!"
"Ugh, are you blind? Where did I cheat?"
The two were arguing fiercely.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, "Two general managers, stop fighting for a mont, I thought of a good way to deal with the unsold goods."
Although the year-end promotional event was over and most items were dealt with, there were still quite a few with defects or just unpopular ones left unsold.
On the way here, Su Xiaoxiao had been thinking of ntioning this to the General Manager.
Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao had a new idea, the two perked up imdiately, "Let’s hear it."
"I think we could make ’mystery bags’ from the unsold and leftover stock, throwing in so popular items. Custors can draw from the bags for a discounted price, whatever they get is a surprise. What do you managers think?"
Both of them fell silent for a mont before hurriedly nodding, "Great idea!"
After speaking in unison, they glanced at each other, snorted, and turned their heads away.
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Who were these two childish adults? Their mutual understanding is sohow amusing.
Ultimately, with Su Xiaoxiao’s persuasion, First and Second Departnt Store decided to continue their cooperation.
The event started soon after, with each mystery bag priced at ten cents, containing items worth two cents at the cheapest, and even over a hundred at the most expensive.
Even drawing the lowest value item, custors were ready to try for the chance of winning a big prize, right?
Thanks to these ’modern’ ideas, both departnt stores managed to clear out their unsold goods and ended up making a tidy profit, not much less than they would normally.
Busy tis always fly by, and soon it was the day of the year-end gala.
Over twenty departnt stores city-wide sent representatives.
The gala was divided into two parts: performance programs and recognition of outstanding workers.
Performances needed a lottery draw to determine order, with each team sending a representative to draw.
Binhe Second Departnt Store unanimously nominated Su Xiaoxiao.
Unable to decline, Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward to draw.
Before leaving, she prepared everyone, "My luck’s not good, if I draw either the first or last, you won’t bla , will you?"
Normally the first and last spots didn’t have any advantage.
The first lacked a reference point, easily leading judges to be overly critical.
For the last, exhaustions from judges ant they might struggle to be impressed even by an outstanding performance.
"Manager Su, just draw confidently, whatever it is we won’t bla you, right?"
Zhang Guoqing was the first to stand out, patting his chest to make the promise.
Others quickly nodded in agreent, confident in their performance regardless of slot.
"Xiaoxiao, don’t be nervous, whatever you draw is fine."
Qin Shuang also comforted her.
"Yes, yes, it’s all fate, just perform well and our ranking won’t be too bad, go for it!"
Zhang Yulan also cheered her on.
"Alright, here I go."
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, following a group onto the stage for the draw.
At the center of the stage, a lottery box covered with red paper awaited, with representatives reaching in through its opening to draw.
Watching those before her, so were pleased, others disappointed.
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, reaching into the box, internally praying she wouldn’t draw first or last.
Full of hope, she opened her slip, seeing the content imdiately dumbfounded her.
The good news was it wasn’t the first or last.
The bad news, it was second-to-last, hardly better than the last.
Her cursed luck, when it ca to lottery draws, never seed kind.
Dejectedly descending the stage, planning to return to their spot, Su Xiaoxiao felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hi, are you Mr. Su from Binhe Second Departnt Store?"
Turning, Su Xiaoxiao saw a round-faced young girl, dimples showing as she smiled shyly at her.
