My Wild Wife in Shanghai

When Zhou Jinyu introduced herself, Jiang Yingjun stared intently at her body, scanning her up and down with eyes that seemed to want to devour her.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, the afternoon training officially began.

Chen Ye had previously thought that this training was specifically for store managers.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be new employee onboarding training.

This also made him realize a profound truth: the store's hierarchy was too low, to the point that the store staff didn't even have the qualifications for onboarding training; only the store manager did.

This also illustrates that only by becoming a store manager can one enter the group headquarters' field of vision and have the opportunity to sit at the same table with people from the group.

Chen Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly; he had originally thought he had become a high-ranking official.

When he arrived at the company, he found out that he was actually at the lowest level.

However, this also ignited Chen Ye's fighting spirit.

Since I was able to work my way up from the bottom to become a store manager, I can also strive for higher levels from store manager.

The group headquarters now feels like a towering mountain to me.

But in the future, I will definitely trample him under my feet.

"Chen Ye".

A call from training instructor Guan Xue interrupted Chen Ye's thoughts.

"Please stand up and answer what our Shanghai Group's strategic direction is," Guan Xue said. "I just mentioned it."

She noticed that Chen Ye was in a daze, so she deliberately asked him a question.

"Forehead!"

Chen Ye was momentarily stunned.

"Daydreaming in class? Don't you want to graduate?" Guan Xue criticized mercilessly. "Even General Manager Jiang is studying diligently, and you, as a junior store manager, aren't studying properly? Do you deserve the salary the company pays you?"

Chen Ye apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Guan, I was really distracted just now."

"You can stand there for now!"

Guan Xue turned her head, forced a smile, and said to Jiang Yingjun, "Mr. Jiang, please answer this!"

Jiang Yingjun stood up and answered fluently, "Our Shanghai Group is committed to the research and development of beauty and health products. In the future, we will focus more on integrating cutting-edge Western medicine technology into product development to create faster, better, and stronger beauty products to serve our customers."

"good!"

Guan Xue led the applause, and the others followed suit.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Jiang!" Guan Xue glanced coldly at Chen Ye: "See? That's the difference. You should learn a lot from Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yingjun looked proud and didn't even glance at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye, however, had a vague feeling that something was amiss and said, "Isn't the group's strategic direction gradually moving towards a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine? And it seems that they will be making great efforts to develop traditional Chinese medicine products in the future."

He remembered chatting with Bai Xueyan one night, and Bai Xueyan mentioned that the group had previously focused on Western medicine technology and developed various Western medicine compound preparations. At present, the market for health products made from traditional Chinese medicine is huge, and in the future, they will pay more attention to health products made from the essence of traditional Chinese herbal plants.

This current strategic direction is clearly inconsistent with what Bai Xueyan said.

Chen Ye's words instantly drew a barrage of criticism from everyone.

"Isn't it written on the big screen?"

"Can't you read? Hahaha!"

Where was traditional Chinese medicine mentioned?

Several plain-looking girls chattered and mocked him, one of them even rolling her eyes, expressing her disdain for Chen Ye, a low-level worker.

"Chen Ye, you're really something! You've changed the group's strategic direction?" Guan Xue said with a slightly teasing and sarcastic tone.

Chen Ye frowned: "No, this strategic direction is the old version. President Bai said that in the later stages, more attention will be paid to beauty and health products based on traditional Chinese medicine."

Jiang Yingjun was displeased and retorted directly, "Your name is Chen Ye, right? Store Manager Chen Ye, let me tell you solemnly, I am the R&D Vice President of the R&D department. Do you think you understand the product development direction better than me?"

This statement carried significant weight, and everyone immediately began to fawn over it.

"Yes, doesn't General Manager Jiang know this better than you, a mere store manager?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine is already outdated; Western medicine and technology are the future. How could the group possibly follow the path of traditional Chinese medicine? That's utter nonsense!"

"He's just a small shop manager, yet he dared to bring up General Manager Bai. Does General Manager Bai even know who you are?"

... ...

Although the crowd wasn't talking very loudly, Chen Ye could still faintly hear them.

Chen Ye just couldn't understand why someone would harbor such malice towards him when they were just strangers to each other.

Even if he said something wrong, he shouldn't be subjected to such a humiliating attack, right?

However, Chen Ye was new to the workplace and didn't yet understand the underlying principles.

In the workplace, position determines everything.

Especially in such a hierarchical large group, the operating logic is comparable to that of the officialdom.

Here, flattery, deceit, social niceties, and power-for-sex transactions are all readily available.

After leaving his small mountain village, Chen Ye spent six years in prison. His personality was extremely pure and wild.

He certainly needs time to adapt to being suddenly thrust into this chaotic and unregulated environment.

Among the new employees in this training session, there were only two men: Chen Ye and Jiang Yingjun.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.

Therefore, everyone could clearly see that Jiang Yingjun instinctively rejected Chen Ye, who was of the same sex.

Based on the principle of praising the powerful and belittling the weak in the workplace, everyone naturally rallied to support Jiang Yingjun and criticize Chen Ye.

Even the training teacher, Guan Xue, was the same.

Only Zhou Jinyu remained silent throughout, her face calm, maintaining neutrality.

"Alright, everyone, let's not waste any more time on this!" Guan Xue promptly ended the topic and said to Chen Ye, "Memorize the group's strategic direction word for word after class. Tomorrow in class, I'll ask you the first question. If you get even one word wrong, you won't graduate."

Chen Ye gritted his teeth, suppressing his doubts, and said, "Okay, Teacher Guan!"

"Sit down!" Guan Xue waved her hand and said, "Let's continue with the rest of the training!"

Chen Ye spent the afternoon of training in a daze.

After the training, Jiang Yingjun treated everyone to dinner, but he didn't invite Chen Ye.

Chen Ye wasn't angry; on the contrary, he felt that this deputy director had a rather low perspective.

All the invited girls attended the banquet, except for Zhou Jinyu.

That night, Chen Ye found a nearby youth apartment to stay in. It was a shared room, with rooms for four or eight people, one bed per person. To save money, Chen Ye chose the eight-person room, which cost 50 yuan a night.

Lying in bed, Chen Ye reviewed today's training content, especially the strategic direction, which he needed to memorize completely.

However, he was somewhat frustrated. He clearly knew that Bai Xueyan had said she was going to start developing traditional Chinese medicine, and the group had also developed health products made from Chinese herbal medicines. The product that Li Bo had promoted to Song Yining last time, which caused Sister Zhao to have an intestinal obstruction and be sent to the hospital, was a traditional Chinese medicine formula.

Regardless of the drug's effectiveness, it at least indicates that the strategic direction has begun to shift.

As a result, Chen Ye became increasingly dissatisfied and directly called Bai Xueyan.

"Sister Bai, I have something to tell you. What happened today has made me very embarrassed..."
