Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 143 He Zhiyu's Small Circle

It was not until she got into Chen Pingjiang's car that Yan Yan felt that what had just happened was just like a dream.

How did I meet my parents in such a confused state?

Chen Pingjiang noticed from the corner of his eye that the way Yan Yan looked at him was a little different from before.

Maybe it's because she is a somewhat traditional woman.

Meeting the parents means that everything is legitimate and it is a step further in terms of legality.

This also led to Yan Yan naturally holding Chen Pingjiang's arm when they went downstairs just now.

"I've given my first time to you, and you have to be responsible for me in the future." Chen Pingjiang said with a smile.

"Well, this is my first time too, so you have to be responsible for me."

Ho!
Murong Fu used all his special skills.

"I'll take you to the supermarket in the afternoon, and I've arranged a big dinner for you in the evening."

Having said that, Chen Pingjiang started the car.

He Zhiyu's small circle formally invited Chen Pingjiang to have dinner together tonight. It was still early, and Chen Pingjiang, who had nowhere to go, planned to take Yan Yan to Yuanfang Supermarket.

Driving to the largest store under Yuanfang Supermarket, Chen Pingjiang indeed noticed some differences from the past as soon as he entered the door.

The most obvious change is that there are indeed more people coming.

The first time Yan Yan went shopping in the supermarket with Chen Pingjiang, her beautiful eyes were full of energy. For her, whatever she did was interesting as long as she was with Chen Pingjiang.

The trolleys at the entrance of the supermarket have been updated. Based on the previous trolleys, they have innovatively added children's trolleys, elderly trolleys and double-decker trolleys to suit consumers of different age groups with different needs.

In the electrical appliance area, whether it is air conditioners or washing machines, Yuanfang Supermarket has thoughtfully added brand introductions and professional terminology introductions.

To give the simplest example, in the washing machine area, they focused on the differences between straight-drum washing machines and front-loading washing machines.

This simple action is very thoughtful and improves customers' awareness of the product.

What Chen Pingjiang found interesting was that Yuanfang Supermarket also carried out reforms in its zoning.

General supermarkets are divided into sections according to product attributes.

But for the first time, Yuanfang Supermarket established partitions by using scenes.

The benefit of this is that it stimulates consumers' purchasing associations and better forms chain growth.

Chen Pingjiang did not mention this in the plan, so it seems that Yuanfang Supermarket is carrying out the reform on its own.

For example, customers are having hotpot at home.

A normal supermarket will put the hot pot base in one area, various dipping sauces in another area, and the ingredients are also arranged in different areas.

However, Yuanfang Supermarket has built a separate hot pot area, placing all products related to hot pot together. This not only makes it convenient for customers to buy, but also indirectly boosts the sales of some unpopular categories.

In the vegetable and fruit area, Yuanfang Supermarket has also implemented more stringent pesticide residue testing, and has thoughtfully introduced some product knowledge and cooking methods.

Let me give you an example, like the beef section.

It is difficult for normal people to tell the difference.

Neck meat, eye meat, brisket, tendon, tenderloin, at least an amateur like Chen Pingjiang cannot tell them apart just by eating.

Yuanfang Supermarket has a large display of different parts of cattle in the beef section, along with instructions on the best cooking methods for each part.

For example, neck meat is suitable for minced meat or stewing, and it is also good for making beef meatballs.

Because eye meat looks like an eye, it has a high fat content and tastes fresh and juicy, making it suitable for shabu-shabu, grilling, and frying.

It was also Yan Yan’s first time to shop at Yuanfang Supermarket. Usually, her family would shop at Carrefour which was closer to home.

She was dazzled by all the novel gadgets in the supermarket far away.

He has demonstrated the ability to handle things to the fullest in all aspects.

Along the way, Chen Pingjiang heard the exclamations of admiration from passing consumers.

"Amazing! Drinks and beverages are always placed with the brand facing outwards."

“Every kind of fruit can be tasted.”

"The top shelf is not easy for women to reach, so they thoughtfully provided a small stool."

"The new velvet cake from their bakery is amazing. Many of my friends drive a long way to buy it. If you come too late, you won't be able to get it."

"..."

Chen Pingjiang nodded. He had to say that He Zhiyu was quite capable. Under his leadership, Yuanfang Supermarket had extremely strong execution capabilities.

He meticulously implemented some of the service reforms he mentioned in his plan, which is quite rare.

Although it is still a long way from the future Pang Donglai, He Zhiyu is already far ahead of the previous Yuanfang Supermarket and other competitors.

The effects of the reform are obvious.

The style of the entire supermarket has improved, and the proportion of young consumers has also increased visibly.

This is very different from the previous Yuanfang Supermarket which only engaged in price wars and mainly targeted old men and women for business.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen."

Chen Pingjiang was pushing the cart when he heard someone calling him.

Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan turned around together and saw a capable middle-aged woman walking towards them with a smile.

"Zeng Guihong, long time no see." Chen Pingjiang greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you actually still remember me. I'm so honored."

Zeng Guihong is the person in charge of the fruit and vegetable area. Chen Pingjiang once came to provide training to these front-line sales managers on how to improve service quality.

"How does it feel to be at work now?" Chen Pingjiang asked casually.

Zeng Guihong's face lights up when she mentions this: "My salary has gone up, and I feel more motivated to work. It's different from before when I just dealt with chores every day. Now I feel like I'm fulfilling my mission when I go to work."

Chen Pingjiang nodded. Although the cost has increased, the subjective initiative of the employees has also increased. The actual benefits have not shrunk, but expanded. After chatting for a few words, Zeng Guihong returned to work.

Yan Yan looked at Chen Pingjiang with a puzzled look on her face: "You have only been studying in Dongjiang for less than a year, how come someone in a supermarket so far away from the university town knows you?"

Chen Pingjiang blinked and said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am the reform consultant of Yuanfang Supermarket and enjoy the treatment of a senior executive."

"Ah!" Yan Yan was stunned. She did not doubt Chen Pingjiang's words, and her eyes immediately revealed admiration.

When paying the bill, I once again realized the power of Chen Pingjiang.

When the store manager Chi Jun heard that Chen Pingjiang was shopping in the supermarket, he ran over and insisted on giving Chen Pingjiang a free meal.

"No matter what you say today, you can't pay."

"He will scold us if he knows."

"You are welcome to come and inspect us often in the future and give us more suggestions so that we can improve better."

So, Chen Pingjiang left the supermarket carrying two large bags of various snacks, fruits and drinks.

"I was in such a hurry to go to your house today that I forgot to bring my things. Take these back when you return in the evening."

"Okay!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

In fact, the item was not worth much, but she liked Chen Pingjiang’s attitude.

………………

At about six o'clock in the evening, Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan rushed to a well-known local private kitchen.

Lanshan Cottage.

He Zhiyu and others use this place as a contact point for their regular gatherings.

As soon as he entered the gate, Chen Pingjiang was refreshed by the pure Chinese garden architecture in front of him.

The rockery, flowing water, pavilions and towers have a very Jiangnan style.

When they found the largest box and Chen Pingjiang and Yan Yan just walked in, the sharp-eyed He Zhiyu walked up to them, took Chen Pingjiang's arm and greeted Yan Yan.

"Come, let me introduce to you, the God of Wealth you are looking for is here."

This shout attracted the attention of everyone who were playing cards and chatting in groups of three or four.

"Mr. Chen is so young, and his girlfriend is so beautiful."

“A perfect match.”

"I've heard Lao He talk about Mr. Chen's deeds for a long time, and today I finally see the real person."

"..."

He Zhiyu was responsible for introducing them one by one.

"This is Lao Wang from Jiajia Food Factory."

"This is Mr. Li from Haojue Foot Massage."

"This is Zhang Fu, the man behind the hotpot chain."

"..."

As he introduced himself, Chen Pingjiang shook hands with him.

At this time, the difference between Yan Yan and other girls was revealed.

Thanks to good family education and gentle and generous personality.

She neither acted too dominant nor hid away in a reserved manner.

Instead, he nodded to the bosses with a smile.

He Zhiyu was filled with admiration when he saw this scene.

This guy Chen Pingjiang is not only handsome, capable and good at making money, but he also has a great girlfriend. I don't know how many people will be pissed off if this gets out.

Although I didn't ask it explicitly, I was also very clear that Yan Yan's elegance, ladylikeness, and dignity were not as exaggerated as those of a rich family's daughter, but at least she had good family education.

Qin Han also came along today. When their small circle gets together, Qin Han usually organizes the wives' table. She enthusiastically took Yan Yan's hand and went to the table of women next door.

Then I heard a group of middle-aged women surrounding Yan Yan and expressing their admiration and envy.

After the food and wine were served, there was a round of greetings.

It was not until three rounds of five flavors had been served that everyone and Chen Pingjiang gradually became friendly.

While these bosses were looking at Chen Pingjiang, Chen Pingjiang was also looking at them.

The members of He Zhiyu's small circle are very interesting. Most of them are engaged in the service industry, and there are also some suppliers of Yuanfang Supermarket.

Obviously, if your family business is too small, you can’t enter this circle.

For example, Zhang Fu, who runs a chain of hotpot restaurants, is said to have more than 20 branches in surrounding cities.

But there are no top rich people in the circle.

Such people may not necessarily look down upon He Zhiyu's small circle. He Zhiyu can neither invite them nor invite them to make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Now that everyone’s strength and status are similar, we can get along better and be more united.

It is indeed different from the nature of general chambers of commerce, and the support within a small circle is more meaningful.

During the dinner, we often heard that several companies were making joint purchases, borrowing funds, and even borrowing personnel and trucks.

He Zhiyu leaned close to Chen Pingjiang's ear and whispered: "Give me, Old He, some face today. Show off your skills later and shock these people."

The reason why he said this was mainly because he often praised Chen Pingjiang in private, and even praised Chen Pingjiang to the sky. Chen Pingjiang's performance now could better prove He Zhiyu's vision, and it could also be a signal that Chen Pingjiang was actively integrating into the small circle.

　Sorry, this chapter is a little late. I was too tired after get off work, so I took a nap and woke up at 9 o'clock. There should be another chapter later.
