"Mentioning Huamei Mall across the street, Yang Rui’s face also darkened.
He had just been reprimanded in the general manager’s office.
After the supply issue arose in the south, he kept arguing with Manager Wang for more time to coordinate, hoping to restore the supply from the south as soon as possible.
In his heart, he knew for sure that Wang Tianxue must have said something to his aunt.
At first, he didn’t worry about it; Wang Tianxue, no matter what, was just a cousin once removed. The department store has had connections with his aunt for so many years, how much interest lay between them? He couldn’t believe that his aunt would actually cut off the department store’s supply entirely. Perhaps it was just for show, to deceive Wang Tianxue.
But to his surprise, no matter how he tried to contact them or what incentives he offered, his aunt would not budge.
Not only that, but other suppliers introduced by his aunt also stopped supplying their department store.
Watching as Meihuo Mall across the street restocked with new products, Manager Wang lost his temper.
He gave a one-week deadline to solve the supply chain issue or else his tenure as the purchasing department director of the department store would be over.
"Are you sure you want to go to the south with me?"
Yang Rui looked at Tang Lili. Although it would not look good if his aunt saw him with her, if he didn’t mention it, his aunt would just think she was an employee of the department store.
Tang Lili had a good eye. If his aunt wouldn’t loosen up, they would indeed need to look for new partners.
Hearing Yang Rui relent, Tang Lili lit up, "Of course, I’ve got our marriage certificate with you. We’re husband and wife as one, of course I wish for you to do better and to show that Wang woman that without her, you’ll only be more successful."
Yang Rui liked hearing that, "Alright then, later you tell your team leader and finish work early. We’ll go back to pack everything up, and set off tomorrow."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Tang Lili sweetly replied, "But first, once the supply issue is resolved, you’ll have to make up for the wedding ceremony. I can’t be unclearly together with you like this. Later, you must invite everyone from the mall."
"Don’t worry about it, things have just been too busy lately. Once all this is taken care of, we’ll organize it. How could I bear letting you follow me without clarity? Haven’t we got our marriage certificate? The state recognizes us."
"Cut it out, it’s not just about the state’s recognition. I also want everyone at the mall to recognize that I’m your wife, rightful and proper..."
......
After arranging everything in the city, Lin Chuxia and Qin Juan sent their regards and went back to Ancheng.
County Magistrate Bai had the intention to talk to her about Old Food Factory during the grand opening of Huamei Mall, a matter Lin Chuxia always remembered, but wasn’t in a hurry to address.
Lin Chuxia had anticipated the bankruptcy of Ancheng Food Factory a long time ago, and although she could see County Magistrate Bai’s responsible attitude the second time he approached her.
Nowadays, besides the Old Food Factory, Ancheng had only Xiyang Food Factory as a related industry, he was indeed considering over a thousand employees of Ancheng Food Factory.
But Lin Chuxia was a businesswoman, and in business, she spoke the language of business.
In this life, although she did many things with a heart full of gratitude and the desire to benefit more people, she wouldn’t be a saint.
She was all too aware of the principle that gratitude turns to grudges over trifles. Constantly showing your benevolent side only shows weakness and vulnerability in the eyes of others.
Passively offering doesn’t mean making a sale; it’s exposing your softest parts to the other party.
If the other party is grateful, that’s good. Otherwise, they may feel that the knife hasn’t been thrust deep enough, and they’ve not gained enough benefits.
The last thing to gamble on is human nature.
