My Wild Wife in Shanghai

Chen Ye told the truth: "There was a bit of an accident while camping last night. I was injured and spent the night in the hospital. When I woke up, it was too late."

Guan Xue said arrogantly, "If you knew you were going to be late, you should have called ahead to let me know. It's company policy, and it's the least you can do to show respect for this training. Don't you even understand that?"

The group headquarters is like an ancient imperial court.

Guan Xue was an official of the imperial court.

Chen Ye, the store manager, is a local official.

Officials in the imperial court had a natural sense of superiority over local officials.

In particular, Guan Xue will be the lead instructor for the following week of training, and whether Chen Ye can graduate smoothly depends on her mood.

With power in her hands, she naturally held herself above Chen Ye.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Next time this happens, I will definitely report it in advance!" Chen Ye apologized repeatedly.

Guan Xue raised her eyebrows, seemingly satisfied with Chen Ye's attitude. She picked up a temporary meal ticket from the table with two slender white fingers and casually tossed it to Chen Ye: "Go eat. It starts at 1:30 PM, right here. Don't be late."

"Okay, Teacher Guan!" Chen Ye said.

Wearing his temporary work badge and clutching his temporary meal tickets, Chen Ye asked for directions to the canteen and then hurried off.

The group headquarters covers an area of ​​over 10,000 square meters, and it takes about 100 meters to walk from the office building to the canteen.

Chen Ye exclaimed in disbelief, "The entire area of ​​my hometown village isn't even as big as one of their companies!"

Afterwards, he went to the cafeteria, handed his meal ticket to the window, received a full bento box, found a table, sat down, and began to eat.

He overexerted himself last night and didn't eat all morning. Now he was starving and ate with unusual relish.

However, someone at the next table said, "This food is awful!"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Chen Ye's ears.

Chen Ye looked up slightly and saw that the other person was a young man, about four or five years older than him, wearing glasses, with fair skin, and handsome.

However, his narrow eyes behind his glasses gave him a very sinister and arrogant look.

"When I was abroad, I hated eating Chinese food!"

The young man spoke with exaggerated gestures, constantly indicating his name.

He was surrounded by a group of young girls who were listening attentively to him. He seemed quite proud, confident, and eloquent.

"I especially hate Chinese food. It's so oily and salty, and it doesn't look appetizing at all. Unlike Western food, which is nutritionally balanced and looks very delicious..."

Chen Ye listened in a daze, completely bewildered.

Why does he mix English into his Chinese?

What does it mean to talk like that? Is it to show off how fashionable you are?

However, the way he spoke was indeed imitating the way Westerners speak, but he was too deliberate, which made it seem strange.

In short, it looks uncomfortable.

As the man spoke, he also saw Chen Ye.

Seeing Chen Ye eating with his mouth full of oil, he even had a contemptuous smile on his lips, as if he were looking at a lowly migrant worker.

He then looked away and continued chatting with the girls at the table.

Chen Ye frowned, but ignored him and continued to eat.

The lunch break passed quickly.

The afternoon training was about to begin. Chen Ye arrived at the training room, found his name tag on a table, and sat down.

A short while later, a man entered with a group of girls.

It turned out that the group of people Chen Ye saw in the cafeteria were his fellow trainees from the same cohort.

The man leading the group was the bespectacled guy who had said he hated Chinese food at the restaurant.

"Have you all arrived?"

Trainer Guan Xue entered the room at this moment and looked around at everyone.

"Teacher Guan, all of our people from this morning are here!" The bespectacled man smiled slightly.

"Okay! Mr. Jiang!"

Guan Xue was particularly friendly to the bespectacled man, even to the point of being obsequious.

The next second, she withdrew her smile and said seriously, "This morning, one of my colleagues didn't attend the training. His name is Chen Ye. Come on, Chen Ye, please introduce yourself! Let's give him a round of applause."

Scattered applause broke out.

Chen Ye stood up and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Ye, and I am the store manager of the No. 001 store of the Shanghai Beauty Group. I have just been promoted to store manager, so I am here to conduct new store manager onboarding training. It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope we can progress and grow together. Thank you!"

"Store manager?" the bespectacled man asked skeptically. "Isn't that considered a junior position?"

Guan Xue explained, "It's considered a basic management position. Store managers are usually promoted from among the store clerks or massage therapists. Their responsibilities include managing the store staff and being accountable for the store's performance."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded.

The bespectacled man smiled and said, "Oh, so you're a junior manager. Thank you for your hard work!"

When he said this, he acted exactly like a high-ranking leader.

"President Jiang, Chen Ye doesn't know any of you yet, so could you all please give a brief self-introduction?" Guan Xue said, "President Jiang, please go first!"

The bespectacled man said, "Okay, I'll go first. My name is Jiang Yingjun, and my English name is Allen, which also means handsome. I graduated from Tongji University in Shanghai, and then went to MIT in North America for further studies. I'm currently a PhD student in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. I'm a local resident, and my parents own a company worth tens of millions. I'm a very ambitious person, which is why I'm pursuing a career independently. My current position is Deputy Director of R&D. I've only been here for a week, so please bear with me. Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted around him, and Guan Xue couldn't help but clap along as well.

This scene gave Chen Ye a firsthand experience of the complexities of human relationships in the workplace.

After introducing himself as the small shop manager, he remained silent.

He was the deputy director of the R&D department, and after he introduced himself, the girls clapped until their hands were red.

Moreover, he should have introduced himself once in the morning, so the fact that he did it so enthusiastically a second time is clearly blatant flattery!

Next, the other girls took turns introducing themselves.

They were all newly hired colleagues from various functional departments, including purchasing, sales, and administration.

Chen Ye was particularly impressed by the girl from the administration department named Zhou Jinyu.

Because she is the most beautiful.

She is tall, sweet-looking, and has an outstanding temperament, giving people the feeling of an 18-year-old Gao Yuanyuan. You want to look at her a second time after just one glance.

Moreover, she was without makeup; if she had simply dressed up, she would have been even more stunning.

After she introduced herself, Chen Ye learned that the girl had been recruited by the administration department to work as an administrative receptionist.

The administrative receptionist is the face of a company, especially for a beauty and health product company like Shanghai Group, where the receptionist must be a top-notch beauty.
