Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center
Junxiao Commercial Management Second War Zone Regional General Manager's Office
Lin Ya sat in the main seat of the reception sofa, while Ma Jian and Luffy sat to one side.

As an investor of Mr. Chen, Jiexun Sports and Junxiao Group have become one family. It can be said that Luffy is not afraid of anyone else in Junxiao Business Management.

However, he treated the two bosses of the First and Second War Zones with utmost care, because he already knew that one of them was the "Imperial Brother-in-Law" and the other was the "Empress".

In comparison, Lu Tao, who is about to take over as the general manager of the Third War Zone, is much less influential than these two in front of Luffy.

Back then, Luffy was proud to know Lu Tao, but now he treats Lu Tao as an equal, since he would never do anything to harm Jiexun Sports.

I came here today to report to Lin Ya on Dongjian Trading and Jiexun Sports' plans to open stores in the second war zone. To call it a report is an understatement; it's more like I'm just dropping by to make my presence felt.

I can't visit General Chen often, but I can frequently visit the ladies and the Emperor's brother-in-law. If they say a few good words for me, I will benefit greatly.

Lin Ya listened and nodded, but she had no interest in their specific store opening plans at the moment.

"Now, for all Junxiao Commercial Management projects that don't have your brand, we'll plan locations for you to move in. The timing will be based on the mall's schedule, which will be more accurate."

Lin Ya's meaning was very clear: you can only open a store if you have a location; if you don't have a location, no matter how good the planning is, it's useless.

Therefore, the most accurate opening time is for Junxiao Commercial Management to confirm the project's opening date before determining the entry time for Dongjian Commerce and Jiexun Sports.

"President Lin's consideration is appropriate. Lao Lu and I have been busy with nothing all along."

Lin Ya smiled faintly, elegantly picked up the mug on the table, and took a small sip. She knew perfectly well why these two had come.

One was Chen Xiao's classmate, and the other was someone he had recently recruited to deal with Jincheng Sports. Naturally, she also knew how to help the boss win them over.

Dudu~
Lin Ya frowned, and Luffy was startled. Who was being so rude?

Seeing President Lin definitely requires an appointment. The assistant outside is so useless; how could they let someone in and just knock on the door?

Before Lin Ya could speak, the office door was pushed open. "Sis, when are you going to assign me to the store?"

sister?
Ma Jian and Luffy exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other meant: yet another "Imperial Brother-in-Law"?
Of course, they also knew that this person could not compare to Zhao Hui, because no one could replace Zhao Xiangjun in President Chen's heart.

"Don't you have any manners? Can't you see I have guests?"

This younger brother is a spoiled brat. He's not a bad person, but he's brainless. He grew up under her protection, is very attached to her, and is also very afraid of her.

"These are General Manager Ma and General Manager Lu!"

He was introduced to Ma Jian and Luffy, who had already stood up.

Lin Ping quickly greeted them, and the two politely returned the greeting.

"Mr. Lin, we have nothing else to do, so we'll head back now."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Lin Ya didn't try to stop them. After they left, her face turned cold. "Lin Ping, if you behave badly again, I'll make you start as a security guard at the store."

"Sister, you won't do that."

Lin Ping didn't seem worried at all. He ran to the bookshelf, opened the refrigerator, and took out a can of Coke.

Lin Ya looked at him with a cold laugh, "Why wouldn't I?"

After pulling open the can and taking a few big gulps, I put the cola on the coffee table.

"With my build, I probably couldn't even handle a girl. If you asked me to be a security guard, I definitely wouldn't be competent."

"Do you still want to be shameless?"

They've really taken shamelessness for granted.

Lin Ping was thick-skinned; he knew that although his sister beat him, she genuinely cared for him. He would just laugh when scolded and continue lying on the sofa, giving her the impression that she couldn't do anything about it.

"I've already arranged for you to be the business development manager at Junxiao's third store. Remember, at Junxiao Commercial Management, you'll have to rely entirely on yourself. I won't give you any help. If you succeed, I'll provide you with a platform and opportunities. If you're still so unambitious, you can go home and be a playboy for the rest of your life."

Don't even think about getting involved in the newly established business management company at home.

Lin Ping knew that his family was planning to set up a separate commercial management company with a total investment of 10 billion yuan, which was more than the total assets of the current Lifan Commercial Management. This was the company Lin Ya was referring to.

"I understand. I came to see you today because I want to get into work mode as soon as possible. I want to prove to you that I, Lin Ping, am not a good-for-nothing. I am chairman material."

Lin Ya sneered, "Prove you're sensible first, then you can consider becoming the chairman."

They said they wouldn't help him, but they were still careful when arranging his work. They didn't assign him to the Junxiao Plaza No. 1 store because there were quite a few members of the Zhao family there, and they were afraid that Lin Ping might accidentally get into a conflict with them. They also didn't assign him to the Junxiao Plaza No. 2 store because many of the people there were left over from the Lifan Commercial Management Company. They knew Lin Ping, so there was no point in training him there.

Only by placing him in the third store, where few people know him, can he serve as a training opportunity.

"By the way, sis, Brother Bin contacted me recently."

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. Xia Bin? She seemed to have forgotten about Four Seasons Clothing for a long time.

"You should avoid contact with him."

Lin Ping sighed, "I know you hate him, and I know you've found me another brother-in-law, but he's also quite pitiful."

Hearing him call Chen Xiao "brother-in-law," Lin Ya took a sip of water, feeling a little guilty. She hadn't yet gained Zhao Xiangjun's approval, so she felt uneasy.

Thinking of this, she began to envy He Qing. Even Gao Yue joked with her in private that He Qing was now the most favored person in the world, and even the master liked her very much.

Is Xia Bin pitiful?
I knew he was doomed when I learned before the new year that he had persuaded shareholders to invest again and bet on Wansheng Plaza.

"His cash flow has dried up, the stores can't keep up with the demand for goods, and the company isn't paying its employees. There's a serious loss of staff, and the company has started closing down stores on a large scale."

This time, Wansheng Group refused to allow him to close the store and threatened that if he did, they would not refund his deposit, causing him another loss.

Lin Ya smiled. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. His arrogant appearance back then was still in her mind. He drove a Cullinan and chased girls everywhere. Finally, he messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with.

He reaps what he sowed; who can he blame?

"Brother Bin wants to ask, is there still a chance for him to cooperate with Junxiao Business Management?"

Lin Ya is now the regional manager and also the vice president of Junxiao Commercial Management. If she wants to support a retail company, it will be effortless for her.

This was probably Xia Bin's last hope, but unfortunately he still went to the wrong person. He still doesn't understand what happened. He was probably the most unjustly killed person.

"Don't worry about him anymore. Four Seasons Clothing is history. During the holidays, go and visit Uncle Xia. If he has any difficulties, lend him a hand. As for Xia Bin, don't have any more contact with him, and don't mention him in front of me."

Lin Ping sighed a few times, picked up the Coke on the coffee table and took a sip. "Sis, when are you going to introduce me to my brother-in-law?"

"doing what?"

Lin Ya looked on alert. Her younger brother was unreliable, and she didn't want him to offend Chen Xiao.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? He's pursuing my sister, shouldn't he try to please me?"

"Get lost, or I'll beat you to death!"

You turn on me so easily? Do I need to please you to win me over? Do you know how your sister pleases him? She's mastered every trick in the book.

Seeing that she was really angry, Lin Ping quickly stood up and ran away.

Lin Ya looked at his immature appearance and was quite worried. She wondered if this kid would get into some trouble.

Dial the internal phone line

"Have Liu Jingjing come here for a moment."

The assistant immediately notified the regional operations department, and General Manager Lin asked Liu Jingjing to come.

Since Liu Jingjing arrived in Jiangzhou, she has devoted herself almost entirely to her work. General Manager Lin promoted her from a floor supervisor to a store operations manager, and less than a month later, he promoted her to regional manager in charge of the overall operations of the Hanjiang area, a position equivalent to a store's deputy general manager.

In just a few months, he achieved a three-level leap, completing a journey that others would take years or even decades to accomplish. All of this is thanks to General Manager Lin.

Or perhaps it's all because of Chen Xiao. Judging from her interactions with President Lin, President Lin treats Chen Xiao differently. Of course, she also realized that Chen Xiao might be even more extraordinary.

After the class reunion organized by Zhao Yi, Chen Xiao was picked up by two beautiful women whose looks were no less than those of President Lin. I heard that one of them drove a Porsche 911 and the other drove a Brabus G900.

She now knows that the Brabus G900 is Chen Xiao's car. Being able to afford an 1800 million yuan vehicle speaks volumes about his current success. And the women surrounding him are all exceptionally accomplished.

This has caused her extreme distress lately. Every time she sends a message to Chen Xiao, she feels a strong sense of inferiority. As a result, she has been trying to restrain herself from thinking about him and from sending him messages, but his image keeps appearing in her mind and she can't forget him.

Her workstation was in a corner of the operations department area. After finishing her work, she couldn't help but send a message to ask Chen Xiao how he was doing.

"Liu Jingjing~ Mr. Lin is calling!"

Ignoring the text message, I quickly got up.

General Manager Lin is already the regional manager, and the current general manager of the Hanjiang region is Miao Lei. The gap between her and General Manager Lin has widened, and it becomes increasingly difficult to advance. Often, a single promotion can block you for life.

Lin Ya hadn't contacted her for a long time because, now that the regional headquarters had been established, President Lin was busy with the regional personnel structure and overall development plan. For a while, she was traveling almost every day, so she didn't have time to pay attention to a nobody like her.

On her way to Lin Ya's office, she could see the envious looks from her colleagues. The older employees at Junxiao Business Management all knew that Lin Ya appreciated and took good care of Liu Jingjing. In addition, Liu Jingjing was gentle and beautiful, and very popular in the company. Many male colleagues were interested in her, but unfortunately, she was too picky and had not given anyone a chance so far.

"Quiet!"

"Manager Liu!" Many people greeted her along the way, and she responded to each one.

As she passed through the area where the investment promotion team was located, she suddenly heard someone call out to her: "Liu Jingjing!"

"Zhao Yi? What are you doing here?"

"Business has been good lately, so I came to see if we can deepen our cooperation and open two more stores."

Zhao Yi's family owns a restaurant. They used to operate in Wanhong Plaza, where business was so-so and they could make ends meet. After it was acquired by Junxiao Commercial Management, the project frequently held promotional activities, which increased customer traffic by 15% and attracted a group of high-quality consumers, causing his catering business to almost double.

He learned from his peers that almost all of Junxiao Commercial Management's projects were showing a significant upward trend, so he wanted to seize this opportunity to deepen cooperation and expand his business.

Looking at the quiet and gentle Liu Jingjing, Zhao Yi's eyes were full of infatuation. Although he knew that her heart was not with him and that she probably still had some feelings for Chen Xiao, it seemed that Chen Xiao already had a girlfriend. The one from the last gathering who drove a Porsche 911 had a more elegant and charming demeanor than Liu Jingjing.

This gave him a chance, and the recent success of his business further boosted his confidence.

"Manager Liu, you two know each other?"

The speaker was the regional business development manager, who was at the same level as Liu Jingjing. Liu Jingjing was in charge of the operational planning of all stores in the province, while he assisted all stores in recruiting and transferring staff.

He nodded. "I have something to do. You two continue chatting."

Zhao Yi was somewhat disappointed. "I'm done here. Shall we grab a quick lunch together?"

"No need, I have too much work today. I'll just have a light lunch and we can talk about it another day when I have more time."

He could tell from these perfunctory words that there was no sincerity whatsoever.

"I have something urgent to attend to, let's talk another day."

After saying that, he walked away in a hurry.

Seeing Zhao Yi's dejected expression, the investment manager smiled and said, "You and our Manager Liu are classmates? She's a big favorite of our General Manager Lin."

"General Manager Lin? Which leader is General Manager Lin?"

"Our regional manager, the group's vice president."

Zhao Yi's eyes changed immediately. If they could establish this connection, wouldn't their family business flourish?

Liu Jingjing is a big fan of hers, so it seems she needs to put in a lot of effort.

"Jingjing, come here!"

When Lin Ya saw her come in, she asked her to sit on the sofa and had her secretary make tea. Liu Jingjing was flattered and quickly bowed to accept the tea.

"I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to check on you. How's work going?"

"It's great. The stores are currently in a growth phase, and everything is going smoothly, plus my colleagues are very helpful."

Lin Ya nodded. Everyone on this floor knew that Liu Jingjing was her favorite, and probably many people would like to get close to her to enter her circle. She was very knowledgeable about these things in the workplace.

"The reason I transferred you from the store to the regional department was to cultivate your overall perspective and teach you to look at problems from a higher level. Do you remember what I said back then? Coming to the region is to gain experience, but ultimately we still need you to take charge of a region."

Of course, she wouldn't forget that when she was bullied by the vice president of business and the supervisor at the store, it was the darkest moment in her career. It was during that time that she met Chen Xiao by chance and subsequently received special care from President Lin.

I remember the first time she invited me to Jiangzhou, she said something like this during our heart-to-heart talk: she wanted me to come to the region first to broaden my overall perspective, and later I would be in charge of a project and do the overall coordination.

"President Lin, my abilities are still far from sufficient."

He waved his hand and said, "There isn't actually that much difference between people. Some positions aren't something you wait for to become capable of before you take them; rather, you take them first, and your abilities will quickly improve and become commensurate with the position."

Six months ago, I was just a project manager. In the past six months, I've become a regional manager, and then a major regional manager. I've taken on various roles, haven't I? So don't feel pressured. Just give it your all, and I'll fully support you.

She realized that President Lin must have made new arrangements for her. Was she going to go to a prefecture-level city again? That would put her even further away from Chen Xiao, and she suddenly felt a little down.

"Jingjing, I'm planning to put you in charge of the Junxiao Plaza Third Store and make you the general manager of this project."

Ah ~
"Junxiao Plaza Store 3?"

Liu Jingjing found it hard to believe. This was Junxiao Plaza's top three projects in the Han River area, a highly coveted property. Miao Lei, the current regional general manager, had risen to his position from this very spot.

I have no right or ability to be in charge of this project.

"Mr. Lin, I..."

"Jingjing, I told you not to worry. Since I believe in you, you should believe in yourself too. Some things aren't that difficult. Where there's a will, there's a way!"

After calming herself down, aside from the fear that she was unworthy of the position and would let President Lin down, this personnel arrangement was a dream start for her.

Being the general manager of a key project is like being a regional warlord, far more important than her current position as the regional operations manager.

Her current responsibilities are more about coordinating and assisting the stores. Being a general manager is different; it requires overseeing the overall situation, and the power and training one receives are far greater than what one gets now.

Let alone her, even if you asked Li Chun, the regional business vice president, to be the general manager of Junxiao Plaza's third store, he would be overjoyed.

President Lin sending him is tantamount to another promotion of three ranks, an exceptional promotion.

Most importantly, she is still in Jiangzhou, the city where Chen Xiao is, where she feels completely at ease.

Back at her seat, Lin's words still echoed in her mind: "Jingjing, just go ahead. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly."

Good heavens, a regional manager, so busy, still cares about her so much; she was deeply moved.

I picked up my phone and re-edited the message I had prepared to send to Chen Xiao that morning before sending it.

[Liu Jingjing: Chen Xiao, President Lin is so kind to me. I'm about to become the general manager of the third store in Junxiao Plaza. When do you have time? I'd like to treat you to dinner.]

After sending it, I rested my chin on my hand and carefully read the message again. I immediately blushed. What did I send? It felt so confusing.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao seemed to understand her feelings and replied to her message shortly afterward:

[Chen Xiao: Congratulations, Jingjing! I believe in you, keep going! I'm a bit busy these next few days, but I'll invite you out for a big meal in a few days.]

A smile spread across Liu Jingjing's face; she was always so easily satisfied.

"Liu Jingjing~"

Looking up, he saw Zhao Yi standing in front of his desk. It seemed he had already finalized the deal with the investment manager.

Since they were old classmates, it was impossible to send him away, so I asked him to sit down and took a bottle of mineral water from behind me and gave it to him, saying, "I rarely drink tea, so this is all I have."

"It's nothing. I finished my business and just came to say hello. You haven't been to Junxiao Plaza Store 3 much lately, have you? I talked to the store operations team, and they said you've hardly been there at all."

"Yes, there's too much to do. Now I'm not only in charge of the province's operations, but also some regional operations, which I need to help with since the staff hasn't arrived yet."

"Then you must be a big leader. You'll have to take care of your old classmate in the future."

Liu Jingjing smiled but didn't respond to the question.

"It seems that President Lin values ​​you highly."

"What did you hear?"

Liu Jingjing thought he knew that she was about to become the general manager of the third store of Junxiao Plaza. Zhao Yi said, "I heard that you are a favorite of General Manager Lin. She is a regional manager and often gives you advice on your work. Isn't that because she values ​​you?"

"Yes, President Lin is very good to me. Zhao Yi, I still have work assigned by President Lin, so I'm afraid I won't have time to chat with you today."

Mentioning President Lin provided a convenient excuse to see the guest off, a perfectly valid reason. Zhao Yi quickly stood up and said, "Okay, let's arrange a meal sometime, and we can invite a few classmates too."

Liu Jingjing nodded and stood up: "Then I won't keep you here today."

Since she was about to start her job at the Junxiao Plaza No. 3 store, she sat down and quietly studied the project's information, including recruitment, operations, and team structure.

Thinking about the personnel structure, and looking at the current situation of the store's business development team, the original business development manager was promoted to vice president of business, and the original vice president of business was transferred to be the general manager.

The newly appointed investment promotion manager is Lin Ping, the younger brother of General Manager Lin.

Remembering what Boss Lin said, “I’m telling you that’s my brother. I’m not trying to give him special treatment, but I want you to be strict with him. He’s going there to train, not to get a resume. If he can be successful, there will be better positions waiting for him. If he doesn’t turn out well, I’ll send him home to be a complete wastrel.”
-
Chen Xiao had just woken up when Liu Jingjing sent the message.

He hadn't slept a wink last night and managed to catch up on a nap this morning. Knowing that Lin Ya valued her highly, he was quite pleased. This classmate had the face of a first love. Gentle and kind, he naturally hoped she could have a good future. Even if Lin Ya didn't arrange anything for her this time, he would still inquire about it after a while.

After washing up, Zhang Ziqian had thoughtfully arranged lunch. Xu Wu hadn't enjoyed the kitchen on the 58th floor much, as she was frequently traveling for work and needed to inspect various locations.

This 58th floor has almost become a private world for Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian. No, Han Xue will also come here often in the future, but it will still be a three-person affair at most.

"Ziqian, has your father been discharged from the hospital?"

"Yes, I called him this morning and had someone send him back."

“The old man is getting on in years, and you are his only daughter, so you have to think more about things. For example, this time, it’s a good thing he jumped off the bike, otherwise what if he had been hit by the car? Why is he riding a bicycle at his age?”

Zhang Ziqian's head drooped as he spoke.

She hadn't expected her father to ride a shared bicycle to save on taxi fare. (End of Chapter)
