High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 550 - 242: Jiang Banxia’s Fear (Part 3)

Zhang Mansheng casually said, "What’s the big deal? Didn’t I invite him to dinner? Besides, it’s just a quota. If there’s a loss, I definitely won’t ask him for compensation. Investment comes with risks; on the surface, it may seem like I’m taking advantage of him, but in reality, I’m helping him shoulder some of the risk too."

Zhang Mengyu: "..."

Zhang Mansheng reassured, "Okay, okay, you should just interact with him normally. My matters with Ning Hao have nothing to do with you, don’t overthink it."

He actually feels that Ning Hao is a very clear-headed person. Although he says that Li Yang is his idol, he keeps his desires under control no matter what he does.

He could easily borrow money from those lending platforms; a mere interest rate of ten-something percent won’t be recouped by Wanliu Capital?

Investing in Wanliu Capital, the risk and benefit are unequal, with the benefit proportion being higher.

Of course, maybe Ning Hao likes Zhang Mengyu and is deliberately trying to win him over.

Anyway, we’ll know once we make money next year.

If they do make money, Zhang Mansheng will definitely return all the profits to Ning Hao.

He can’t really use his daughter to make money; that would be unethical.

He just wants to see if Ning Hao will be frustrated after investing so much capital and still not winning over his daughter.

...

On the first day of the New Year, at eight in the morning, the Extreme Shadow Cars app released 300,000 spots, which were snapped up in three minutes.

It was just a brief moment of being distracted.

Green Water Heaven and Earth specially prepared red envelopes for every customer who came to buy something, limited to the morning.

Not much, just twenty yuan in each red envelope, even if they came in and only bought something worth one yuan.

As to whether people would come repeatedly to collect red envelopes...that wasn’t a concern.

Most people still care about their reputation, and Li Yang doesn’t mind giving out a bit more.

Bringing happiness to others, it’s worth it.

Today, Li Yang first went with Jiang Banxia to her home to offer New Year’s greetings, then returned to his own home, and afterward took Jiang Banxia to the mall.

The entire shopping mall had less than one percent of self-operated brands, which were supplied by two companies.

Fuguang Group’s snacks came to about sixty varieties, and Green Water Group’s canned fruits and specialty cooked foods added up to more than a dozen.

For example, some of the particularly popular online products in recent years, Li Yang has had people develop them, and the flavors are quite good.

However, the brand power hasn’t been established yet, so Green Water Group still has fewer customers.

Qi Jialiang didn’t take a break during the New Year; knowing that Li Yang had arrived, he rushed over immediately.

"Hello, President Li, Hello, President Jiang."

Jiang Banxia is also a shareholder of Green Water Group, so this form of address is not wrong.

Li Yang asked, "Manager Qi, I heard there was a manpower shortage a few days ago?"

"Yes, the employees were indeed busier than usual, but there’s been some improvement after the New Year."

Qi Jialiang is very aware that Green Water Heaven and Earth is entering the off-season soon; currently, many days the manpower doesn’t have more than two hours of work.

After being open for two or three months, they’ve lost tens of millions, but Li Yang doesn’t regard this money as money.

He hopes that Extreme Shadow Cars will do well so that he can stay at Green Water Heaven and Earth for a couple more years, making enough money for a lifetime.

Li Yang said, "Everyone worked hard during this period. In addition to the year-end bonus, each person will receive an extra two thousand as a subsidy. Please file a report with Green Water Group. By April and May, there should be a batch of employees coming in, and at that time, you’ll be responsible for training them."

"Okay."

Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance.

The three people’s attention was immediately drawn over.

One of the customers shouted loudly, "Your big supermarket can’t handle it, huh? I’ve never been here before, so why don’t you give me a red envelope?"

"If you can’t handle it, don’t do it. I came over with high expectations, and this is how you treat customers?"

...

Li Yang frowned as he walked over, and quite a few people had gathered near the exit by this time.

Qi Jialiang was also quite tense and immediately went over to ask, "What’s the situation?"

An employee said, "Manager, this person has already come and gone dozens of times."

Upon hearing these words, Qi Jialiang frowned.

"Just give it!"

After all, Li Yang was right there, and Li Yang had previously said that even if someone collects repeatedly, don’t worry about it.

But coming and going dozens of times is a bit...

Li Yang didn’t intervene, instead walking coldly to the side.

After the matter was resolved, Qi Jialiang came over and said, "President Li, I’ve just checked the surveillance, they have indeed come and gone dozens of times, and there’s more than one person, they’re a group of over twenty or thirty people, mostly coming in and buying items worth a few cents before going to checkout."

"And so what? Is the money yours? It’s the company’s! Has it affected your salary? Fire that employee who made the decision independently! Ensure their compensation is complete and add four months’ salary for them."

"Okay."

Qi Jialiang reluctantly complied.

Jiang Banxia whispered, "She was also doing it for the company’s benefit, maybe give her another chance."

Li Yang shook his head, "She’s a company service staff member; giving out red envelopes is inherently a business. She refused to do business with someone just because they weren’t a good person. When an employee begins to independently make decisions to inconvenience customers, if not punished, this will slowly lead to more employees behaving this way...

They’re service personnel, not salespeople, which was emphasized many times during training. If she was trying to serve the customers better, like shining a customer’s shoes when it wasn’t part of her job scope, then I would reward her.

The usual severance pay is 2N, but I’ve increased it to 4N for her, and there’ll be a chance of reemployment later, and if not, that’s fine."

"Oh."

Jiang Banxia still doesn’t quite understand, but if Li Yang explained it, it’s correct.

Quickly, Li Yang found Qi Jialiang again and asked him to pull up the surveillance and send it to his email.

"Let’s go buy some things, and I’ll cook lunch for you," Li Yang said to Jiang Banxia after tying everything up.

"Ah? Aren’t we going home to eat?"

"Your family has too many people..."

At Jiang Yaoting’s home, a bunch of people gathered early in the morning, and he almost couldn’t get away after going there with Jiang Banxia.

Jiang Banxia suggested, "Why not go to your place."

Li Yang looked up at the ceiling, "There’s no one home. My dad took the family back to the ancestral home."

Li Likun could never forget the relatives back home.

On the first day of the New Year, he was set on visiting his brother.

He even dreamed of taking Li Yuqing along to earn some red envelopes.

Given Li Yang’s understanding of those relatives back home, it would be better to take Li Yuqing to Green Water Heaven and Earth to grab some envelopes.

However, he couldn’t care less, as long as his dad was happy, perhaps it meant something different.

Jiang Banxia gingerly said, "Maybe I should go home for lunch?"

"Then I’ll eat alone for lunch?"

"Isn’t there someone else?"

She thought Li Yang could go find Bai Qing.

Before getting married, she felt uneasy.

She could only strive to balance things and proactively make some space.

Getting married would be good, Li Yang surely wouldn’t talk about divorce, right?

If he talked about divorce, she wouldn’t agree! No way!

Li Yang wrapped his arm around Jiang Banxia’s shoulder and said, "Who else is there? Just you. You’re the only one who appreciates my culinary skills."

"So...if I appreciate your cooking, then you won’t not marry me?"

A double negative equals a positive.

Jiang Banxia didn’t want her future to be trifled with just because of a meal.

"Hey, why would a global tycoon be afraid of anything?"

"Afraid..."

After all, Jiang Banxia had prepared her entire life based on Li Yang’s plans.
