Chapter 14

"Everything is pretty good. "Summer Mu smiled," Everyone is very good to me."

Meng smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a slow puff. Although Summer Mu didn't like the smell of smoke, she hadn't shown it either.

"I have asked your manager." He said." He said you have performed well and have great potential. However, you are a bit too nervous and have a low profile towards everyone. Is that right? "He looked at her sideways.

Summer Mu didn't know what to say: "Oh…"

He smiled again, stared at the cigarette in his hand, and slowly said, " Summer Mu, don't be nervous. Maybe I'm hiring an assistant now, at least all of them are college students, and some are even undergraduates. But one thing, you and me are the same, that is, although we have a low starting point, we are no worse than anyone else. In the workplace, at the beginning, we may look at education, but in the end, we all look at performance. Education is nothing. Do you understand?"

Summer Mu remained silent for a few seconds and replied, "Understood."

Both of them were quiet for a while. Summer Mu looked up and saw the sun, which had already revealed its entire face on the horizon. The sunlight shone on the entire playground, bright and warm. Just like her heart being ironed by Meng's words at this moment.

"Meng, I have a situation that I want to report to you. "she suddenly said.

"Oh? What's the situation?"

Summer Mu said, "It's like this, I have a high school classmate who is studying at a university in New York, USA. That day, I remembered my colleague saying that Beck graduated from Columbia University in New York, so I casually mentioned it to my classmate. As soon as my classmate heard about Beck, he told me some things about him."

...

A cigarette slowly burned out between Meng's fingers.

Summer Mu looked up at him and said, "Mr. Meng, I've finished speaking."

Meng pondered for a moment, his expression unchanged, but he asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Summer Mu looked into his eyes and boldly replied, "Because I think the originally planned 95% discount may not be enough to defend against this person's attack."

Meng remained silent for a few seconds, and suddenly a deep and indiscernible smile appeared in his eyes: " Summer Mu, you are braver and have more potential than I thought."

Summer Mu's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Mr. Meng, what should we do next?"

Meng raised his hand and took another puff of his cigarette, saying gently, "I will reconsider. Should we leave now, otherwise we will both be late."

——

In the next few days, Summer Mu remained calm and waited silently.

Waiting for Meng to announce a new promotional plan.

However, the entire company and supermarket remained calm and peaceful. No action was taken. The marketing department was still preparing a 5% discount promotion, but Summer Mu sighed in her heart - no, this definitely wouldn't stop the legendary wolf. The charming wife cannot escape the clutches of the cunning CEO, and the day of Y's opening was getting closer day by day.

However, Summer Mu spoke softly and could not say anything to his colleagues, nor could she jump in front of Meng again to point fingers at him over this matter. She could only observe the changes and see what ideas Meng had in mind.

Speaking of which, although they had been together several times, Meng had been kind and amiable to her. But for someone like him, Summer Mu still felt awe towards him, and there was no feeling of getting closer. So a few days later, she thought for a moment and decided not to go for a run on that playground anymore, but instead went to the riverbank.

She didn't know if Meng just went. But for Summer Mu, it's really tiring to go for a run and relax every morning, and also to meet with the leader. So she decided to go to the playground every three or five turns, so as not to appear deliberately evasive and not to have to drive with her every day, perfect.

Just before Summer Mu had a chance to accompany him for the second time, something big happened.

---

The supermarket system worked six days a week and had weekends off. This day was Saturday evening.

There was exactly one week left until the opening of Y.

At almost six o'clock, Summer Mu was preparing to leave work and go home when the manager walked into the office and announced with a serious expression, "Everyone stay."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Also left behind were all employees from important departments such as the fresh food department, procurement department, administration department, etc. After a while, Summer Mu received a text message from Claire: Axia Summer Mu, what happened? The supermarket closed early today, and all our salespeople were left behind."

Summer Mu put down her phone and looked at her colleagues around her who also looked serious, her heart beating faster.

Coming.

Finally here.

When it got dark, all the staff were gathered in the large conference room for a meeting. All salespersons were also gathered in the open space of the supermarket to give lectures. And some old employees from the marketing department, accompanied by some people, brought bundles of promotional posters, billboards, price tags... The door of the downstairs purchasing warehouse opened wide, and trucks drove in one after another, nervously starting to unload…

Meeting room.

The lights were bright and the atmosphere was serious, filled with staff.

Summer Mu sat in the corner of the last row, listening to the whispers of the people next to her. After waiting for a while, they finally saw Meng walking in with several managers.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Meng sat down in the front row, looked around, and said, "I announce something: with the approval of the headquarters, we will start a full-scale promotion tomorrow." After a pause, he said, "It will last for a week, with a total investment of 3 million."

There was an uproar in the audience. Almost everyone was moved and began whispering and discussing.

You should know that although 3 million was not a particularly astonishing amount, supermarkets were a low profit industry. Three million dollars in seven days, which meant losing over 400000 dollars per day, the supermarket's gross profit in one day was only over 200000 dollars. How many supermarkets had done this before?

People who had a quick mind immediately understood.

Mr. Meng was going to take tough action against Y, who would open in a week! Let it not start a good business!

"Everyone know. "Meng said slowly," This is an unprecedented big promotion in the history of our store. I hope everyone can unite as one and fight this battle well. Defend L's market leadership position in the city and create new performance peaks."
