Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Brother Xiao Yang clicked his tongue in admiration; he truly admired Su Zelin’s free-spirited imagination and his foresight.

If this competitor only appeared today and he thought of leveraging the publishing house and copyright influence, that would be understandable, but he had already planned the publication long ago.

In other words, last semester, this person already considered the bandwagon issue and devised countermeasures.

His vision was longer than my own!

With the biggest issue resolved, the atmosphere became lighter.

At this moment, Su Zelin suddenly remembered something.

"Soon, we will have three new branches completing consecutively, totaling five stores, and every branch can be considered flagship-level. This must count as a proper city-level chain store in Lin’an, right? President Yang, I suggest we buy a few cars after New Year’s Day to serve as company cars for the stores, making travel and business negotiations more convenient!"

This matter had been planned by Hunzi for a long time.

Currently, New Era only has Yang Fen’s pickup truck, which Brother Xiao Yang previously used for delivering goods from his computer shop, serving as a company car. It was used to transport goods and people, without fussing over monetary issues with Su Zelin.

But indeed, as New Era’s significant second shareholder, having a boss run about in a pickup truck is rather shabby, so this matter is urgent.

With five branches, New Era already occupies half of Lin’an’s college territory, no longer just a pseudo-chain with one or two stores; proper frontage is necessary.

Kang Baohong got excited upon hearing this. During summer vacation, Su Zelin let him take a C-license test, thinking the boss was planning to buy company cars for New Era, but didn’t expect it to be on the agenda so soon.

Unexpectedly, I have a chance to drive a car too!

Kang Baohong was very excited.

At this time, cars are definitely luxury items; driving one is prestigious. Returning gloriously home driving a company car, wouldn’t the entire village rush out to see?

But, despite his excitement, he had no say in this matter; only the two bosses could negotiate and decide.

Brother Xiao Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This could work!"

Having run the computer shop for years, he amassed quite a bit of savings, and now teamed up with the financially stronger Su Zelin, neither lacked funds.

Moreover, New Era’s model was impressive, quick to recoup; the New Year’s peak and next semester’s enrollment peak soon would greatly restore capital, alleviating any financial-chain issues.

If so, why not spend tens of thousands to buy a few business cars?

Brother Xiao Yang longed to drive a sedan too; previously for important deals, he had to rent a car since arriving in a pickup truck could be looked down upon.

"Great, decided then!"

As Brother Xiao Yang had no objections, the matter was settled.

"After New Year’s, let’s start with three for now, it’s temporary; our goal is for each New Era branch to have a company car, though other branches can wait a bit longer!"

"Alright, let’s do it that way!"

"..."

Envisioning New Era’s bright future, the three young people chatted for two or three hours.

As closing time approached, Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong finally left the store.

The general manager of New Era was especially excited.

At this time last year, the New Era Financial Institute store just opened, and the boss had to spend effort on naming to create a facade of a big chain, but a year later, New Era is about to open five branches, becoming a veritable digital chain!

It feels like a dream!

Meeting noble persons is very vital.

In Kang Baohong’s view, such accomplishment is already quite remarkable.

But for Su Zelin, it’s just the beginning of his career.

His goal isn’t merely all the colleges in Lin’an.

Next year, I aim for all Zhejiang Province, and even the Jiang-Zhejiang-Shanghai region!

Watching Brother Xiao Yang drive away in the pickup taking Kang Baohong, Su Zelin returned to the store.

Tonight there’s another matter still.

Post-closing, he had to hold an employee meeting to announce Liuu Wanyin’s appointment as store manager.

Finish cleaning, gather everyone together.

Clearing his throat, Su Zelin spoke, "Almost bedtime, so I’ll keep it short. This small meeting is about personnel changes! Everyone should know that a while ago, each New Era digital store added a managerial position. I was fortunate to receive recognition from President Yang and President Kang, becoming the financial store’s manager. But with that, my workload increased, holding dual positions as the store manager, acting both as father and mother, it’s very tiring!"

The staff burst into laughter.

Su Zelin indeed held both the managerial and store manager roles, but no one believed he acted as both father and mother.

Because this guy was always leisurely, vanishing into thin air, where’s the fatigue?

Most of his tasks were delegated to others, especially to Liuu Wanyin, who practically worked tirelessly for Hunzi.

Scheduling, inventory, bookkeeping...

It’s now developed to the point she even has to make tea; only thing missing is calling her to warm the bed on cold days.

This guy’s despicable abuse of power is simply outrageous.

Su Zelin shamelessly continued, "Even though those capable do more work, I’m so outstanding, holding dual positions is understandable!"

"But the key is, my salary should match the level of excellence I possess!"

"Honestly speaking, before when I was just a manager, earning slightly more than others for phone expenses was fine, but now doing two jobs while receiving only one salary, can I tolerate that?"
