Chapter 589: Chapter 572: The Lazy Lu Jiaxin
Lu Jiaxin asked Qian Xiaoxiao to buy clothes from Green Forest; she herself wouldn’t go. She had secretly been there twice, and the store’s employees had rembered her face.
After shopping outside for a day, Qian Xiaoxiao returned and told Lu Jiaxin, “Boss, the staff in the store all have great attitudes. I deliberately nitpicked and made a ss of the clothes, but they didn’t get angry and even recomnded two outfits to . After changing into them, I found them pretty nice.”
After speaking, she couldn’t help but laugh, “I actually didn’t plan to buy anything, but the clothes felt so comfortable that I bought them.”
Mainly because the clothes weren’t expensive, the outfit including pants was only a bit over three hundred yuan. She now has savings of a million greenbacks and a salary of more than eight thousand, so spending seven hundred yuan on two outfits is quite manageable.
Lu Jiaxin was very satisfied, and it was worth the big expense to train employees. However, those employees who receive training need to sign an additional three-year contract. In the sa industry, both Green Forest and Zenith offer better wages and benefits than others, and the employees are willing to continue renewing their labor contracts. Working is all about wanting to earn more, and with good welfare, everyone wants to work long-term.
As their service attitude improved, the sales of Green Forest and Zenith both increased. Especially Zenith, whose sales doubled.
Li Huini, while shopping with Lu Jiaxin, ntioned the issue, “Jiaxin, when I was buying clothes at Green Forest, I saw a custor being rude to the employee. I felt annoyed, but the employee kept smiling throughout. Jiaxin, how do you train your employees?”
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “I hired the star salesperson from Little Days to train them, which wasn’t cheap. Also, every store now has an outstanding employee selection, which greatly helps with their promotion. If they argue with custors, they cannot participate in the outstanding employee selection.”
Li Huini asked, “Did you co up with these ideas, or did Mr. Nie teach you?”
Lu Jiaxin smiled, “In my several companies, Nie Zhan detected previous issues but never said a word. According to him, I must discover and solve them myself to gain the trust of those below . Otherwise, in their eyes, I would just be a vase.”
Li Huini said sowhat enviously, “Jiaxin, you’re very fortunate. Mr. Nie genuinely considers your well-being. Unlike so people who claim to love, yet keep others like a canary.”
Hearing this full of resentnt, Lu Jiaxin looked puzzled. As far as she knew, Li Huini’s two brothers were quite pampered at ho.
Without needing to ask, she provided clarification to Lu Jiaxin, “My cousin has always had a gift for painting since childhood. Her teacher said she would definitely achieve sothing in the future. Unexpectedly, she t that man and was sweet-talked into marrying and having kids early. Now she spends her days revolving around two children.”
“If he could always treasure my cousin, such sacrifices would be worth it. But I saw him take several won on a sea outing.”
Such stories were common to Lu Jiaxin. She felt marriage wasn’t scary; the scary part was when won lose themselves within it.
Li Huini said, “Jiaxin, Mr. Nie is indeed rare. He hasn’t asked you to stay ho enjoying life while he manages the company.”
Lu Jiaxin chuckled, “He knows I love travel, said he’d manage the company to let do what I enjoy. But I don’t like relying on others, so I declined.”
“I believe your cousin’s husband truly loved her initially; otherwise, she wouldn’t have willingly given up her career for dosticity. But people have inherent defects, often not cherishing what they have. A monotonous life grows dull, and they start seeking novelty and excitent.”
She paused, then added, “There’s another scenario, where people are kept like canaries and endlessly manipulated, feeling they can’t escape and thus acting recklessly.”
“What’s PUA?”
Lu Jiaxin explained, “PUA stands for Pick-up Artist, literally aning ‘artful conversationalist,’ commonly referring to soone adept at making the other half infatuated. It has co to an emotional manipulation or ntal control through verbal undermining, behavioral denial, or psychological pressure between couples. This is very scary, and we need to watch out.”
Li Huini was shocked, “My cousin seems to fit that situation. Jiaxin, what can be done if soone falls victim to a Pick-up Artist?”
Lu Jiaxin said, “This has beco a psychological issue, requiring psychological intervention. If your cousin is truly in this situation, you’d need to find her a skilled psychologist. However, many are resistant to psychologists, and there’s your cousin’s husband, which makes this challenging.”
Li Huini expressed determination to proceed despite difficulties. Her cousin, once proud, now surrounds herself with two children daily, knowing of infidelity but fearing divorce, which is entirely unlike her nature.
“It still depends if your cousin is willing to cooperate; if not, it won’t matter how troubled you are.”
Li Huini understood she ant well, thanked her, and said she’d try.
Green Forest’s clothes are trendy and reasonably priced, affordable for ordinary white-collar workers. With improved service and after-sales, plus advertising and TV show boosts, sales continue to rise.
By year-end, Nie Zhan spoke to Lu Jiaxin, “Jiaxin, Green Forest’s financial situation is excellent. Let’s plan to go public next March.”
The shell was already prepared, just waiting for Lu Jiaxin’s approval.
The two had discussed this before, so Lu Jiaxin naturally had no objection. However, in terms of Nie Zhan’s plan to open convenience stores, Lu Jiaxin expressed she would only invest, not participate in managent. Managing four companies, including Wanjia Film and Television and jewelry services, had already drained her, taking on more was too much.
Lu Jiaxin’s goal was financial freedom. Now having beco Hong Kong’s wealthiest woman far exceeding her goals, managing another company wouldn’t be an issue. But in her previous life, she worked herself sick, so in this life, she wanted to take it easy.
Nie Zhan laughed, “Alright, you invest, and I’ll manage.”
Previously, Jiaxin worked intensely, studying while launching companies to earn money. But after twice profiting significantly from finance, he noticed Jiaxin wasn’t as diligent, yearning to travel more, and managing four companies well already exceeded his expectations.
Lu Jiaxin voluntarily hugged him, chuckling, “Ah Zhan, you’re so wonderful.”
Such a great opportunity, Nie Zhan was sure to seize it, “Jiaxin, agree to marry this year, and I’ll find soone to pick the date, okay?”
Lu Jiaxin would naturally not go back on her word, “Green Forest is going public, and you’ll be venturing into retail, so the first half of the year will surely be busy. Let’s postpone the engagent till the latter half of the year!”
Seeing her agree, Nie Zhan was overjoyed, “Then I’ll find a master to pick the date.”
“New Year is coming, let’s find the master after it.”
“Whatever you say.”
