My Wild Wife in Shanghai

Chapter 29 The outcome is uncertain; we are all potential dark horses.

It was already past 10 a.m. when Chen Ye came out of the prison area.

I have to go to work in the afternoon, and there's no time to go get the manual.

Master also said that the manual is safe for now, and we can go there at any time; there's no rush.

Therefore, Chen Ye planned to go to work first and then go to the bathhouse when he had time.

After all, getting something from the women's bathing area requires some effort.

Chen Ye took a bus and then the subway, returning to the Shanghai Beauty flagship store during his lunch break.

As I entered, a group of colleagues had gathered at the front desk.

It turns out that Li Bo bought dozens of coconut lattes from Luckin Coffee, giving one to everyone in the store.

"What day is it, Manager Li?" someone asked with a smile.

"I just feel that everyone has worked hard during this time, so I'm treating everyone today!" Li Bo said.

"Manager Li has a great vision!"

"What Manager Li?! Brother Bo is acting like a store manager now!"

"That's right, I think this store manager position definitely belongs to Brother Bo!"

They took the coffee from Li Bo, their little mouths practically glowing with honey.

"Don't talk nonsense. What store manager? We're all just working for the company!" Li Bo said with a serious expression.

After serving the last cup of coffee, he deliberately walked up to Kong Fei, spread his hands, and said with a smug look on his face, "Sorry, we're out!"

The others watched this scene with knowing looks.

It was obvious that Li Bo deliberately made Kong Fei lose face.

"I didn't want it either!" Kong Fei said coldly.

Seeing this, Chen Ye was displeased. He walked over and greeted Kong Fei, "Good afternoon, Kong Fei!"

Kong Fei smiled at Chen Ye: "Okay!"

This scene left Li Bo somewhat taken aback.

You should know that Kong Fei is known in the store for her expressionless face, as cold as an iceberg.

However, she actually smiled at Chen Ye just now?

Li Bo, burning with anger, said to Chen Ye, "Chen Ye, I didn't prepare one for you either. If you want a drink, go out and buy it yourself!"

"Who needs a cup of coffee from you?" Chen Ye sneered.

"you... ..."

Li Bobei was speechless, unable to utter a single sentence.

You should know that no one in the main store has ever dared to speak to him like that.

"You little bastard!" Li Bo cursed.

"Who the hell are you talking about?"

Chen Ye wasn't going to tolerate him and grabbed his collar.

"No, no, no!"

Others rushed over to mediate the fight.

Li Bo gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Chen Ye, you've got some nerve! I was the one who mentored you on your first day at work, and now you're a star employee, all grown up and think you can challenge me?"

"I can't stand seeing you bully people!" Chen Ye said coldly.

"Where did I bully anyone? You were the one who came up to hit me! You're the one who bullied me!" Li Bo said like a shrew. "Everyone saw it, right? Chen Ye started it, and he even tried to hit me! This is supposed to be a harmonious society! Hitting someone is against the law!"

Kong Fei tugged at Chen Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Don't get entangled with him."

Chen Ye didn't want to cause trouble, so he pointed at Li Bo and said, "A harmonious society doesn't stop us from punishing petty people. If you bully others again, I'll make you pay!"

Then, pulled by Kong Fei, they went to the rest room inside.

"This is outrageous!"

"Chen Ye, are you out of your mind?"

"He just got lucky and made it to the gold medal, he doesn't even have any real skill, what's he pretending for!"

... ...

Hearing these harsh words in the lounge, Chen Ye was so angry that he stood up and was about to go out to settle accounts with them.

Kong Fei stopped him abruptly, saying, "Don't fall for it, they're trying to take you away!"

"Take me away?"

"Yes!" Kong Fei said, "This morning, General Manager Bai announced something. The store manager of the main store, Liu Yanli, was on maternity leave when her husband was in a car accident and suffered a lifelong disability. Manager Liu needs to take care of her family, so her leave needs to be extended. It's unclear when she will be able to return to work."

"President Bai will be returning to the company's headquarters in a month, and a new store manager needs to be selected within that month."

"You're on the shortlist for the new store manager!"

"Huh?" Chen Ye pointed at himself in astonishment. "Me?"

"That's right!" Kong Fei said, "Becoming the manager of the main store is everyone's dream; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

"Wait a minute!" Chen Ye said, "How did I end up on the candidate list? I've only been here a few days."

"But you're a top-tier physical therapist!" Kong Fei said. "This morning, General Manager Bai said there are two types of candidates: one is store managers from other stores, and the second is outstanding talents from our store. These outstanding talents refer to those at the top-tier level or above."

"It's just you and Li Bo in our shop!"

"So, Li Bo definitely wants to get rid of you now, so he can have a monopoly on this main store."

Chen Ye frowned and said, "Even if he gets rid of me, he still has to face so many other store managers. There's no guarantee he'll win!"

"You're wrong!" Kong Fei said, "President Bai's selection plan for store managers is very simple: whoever achieves the highest sales within this month will become the new store manager!"

"You know, this is the flagship store. Half of Shanghai Beauty's major clients are here at the flagship store. In other words, the easiest place to generate sales is here at the flagship store!"

"Once we get rid of you, Li Bo will be in complete control, and outperforming other store managers in terms of sales will be no problem."

Chen Ye took a deep breath. "It sounds like Li Bo really has a great chance of becoming the new store manager of the main store!"

"Sigh! Who can argue with that!" Kong Fei's eyes dimmed, and her stunning beauty faded somewhat. "Li Bo is only a manager now, and he's already throwing his weight around. When he becomes the store manager and takes control of everything, you can imagine what will happen to us."

Chen Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Then we won't let him become the store manager."

"Sigh!" Kong Fei said, "Didn't you see how happy he was just now? He already thinks he's the store manager, because no one can stop him now."

Kong Fei sighed heavily: "The only way now is for you to try your best to steal his customers and take away his revenue over the next month, and see if you can give other store managers a chance to surpass him. As long as he is not the store manager, we will all be fine."

Chen Ye frowned and said, "No, I can't do that. I want to compete fairly with him!"

Seeing Chen Ye's ambitious appearance, Kong Fei felt a bit of admiration.

However, having confidence is one thing, and reality is another; one cannot be detached from reality and have lofty ambitions in vain.

"Chen Ye, I know you're capable. You lost because you arrived too late..."

"Who said I lost?" Chen Ye retorted. "The outcome is still uncertain. We could both be dark horses. I've always believed that where there's a will, there's a way. Even if I fail, I'll have tried my best and won't regret it!"

Chen Ye's gaze was incredibly firm at that moment.

To make a name for yourself in Shanghai, you must seize every opportunity to climb the ladder.

As Kong Fei said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Only by becoming the store manager of the flagship store of Shanghai Beauty can one obtain the ticket to a higher stage.

So this time, Chen Ye has to go all out.
