Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 173 - 174 Persuade Manager Zhang

Chapter 173: Chapter 174 Persuade Manager Zhang

Manager Zhang left the director’s office and immediately went to find the purchasing staff, “Go find out where this ‘all-purpose fried goods’ comes from, we should also stock some in the Department Store.”

The purchasing staff was already waiting for Manager Zhang to speak, and they said with a smile, “I heard that the ‘all-purpose fried goods’ are from the Food Factory.”

“Food Factory,” at the mention of these words, Manager Zhang felt like he was struck by thunder; he had been working with Director Wang for many years.

He naturally knew about the discord between Director Wang and Mr. Sun of the Food Factory.

Now he had finally persuaded the director to purchase the ‘all-purpose fried goods,’ only to learn that they were from the Food Factory. It was like digging the ground from under Emperor Tai Sui’s feet.

He was completely doomed.

Would the director fire him?

Oh mother, he was truly making trouble out of nothing. He didn’t even need to ask; he knew for sure that Director Wang would never agree to cooperate with the Food Factory.

Manager Zhang was now extremely anxious.

The purchasing staff, having accepted favors from Third Uncle Xu, were naturally on the job.

Testing the waters, they looked at Manager Zhang and asked, “Manager, are we going to cooperate with the Food Factory?

I saw people outside today saying that our Department Store is going to cooperate with the Food Factory.

Is that true or false? I remember our director has a feud with Mr. Sun of the Food Factory?”

Manager Zhang glared at him with annoyance, “Cooperate what? After how the Food Factory trapped our director, do you think he would agree to cooperate with them?”

The purchasing staff chuckled, “I was just guessing, but today you promised everyone that new products would be available in a few days!

But if we don’t cooperate, what if people come to the Department Store and cause trouble? Would the director get angry then?”

The purchasing staff said this with a look of urgency.

Manager Zhang, seeing his panic, felt his anger subside somewhat, “Even if the director blames anyone, it will be me; why do you worry!”

The purchasing staff looked sullen, “Manager Zhang, I’ll just speak frankly then. You are always so good to everyone, and they definitely wouldn’t want to see you in trouble.

And I heard from some in the department that our Department Store is going to promote a manager, but there aren’t any managerial positions available, are there? If you run into trouble now, could someone else take your place?”

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhang’s eyelids twitched violently.

“Is that true?”

Manager Zhang was somewhat incredulous, while another purchaser indeed spoke the truth, “It seems like someone is indeed parachuted in.”

But he had heard that it was an assistant manager, which was quietly told to him by someone higher up, and Sun Cai knew about it somehow.

It looked like he had underestimated Xiao Sun; he didn’t expect this guy to have backers too.

Xiao Sen truly had no influential people behind him; this was something Xu Ying told Third Uncle Xu.

In a past incident at the Department Store when a new manager came in, who had backers and soon replaced Manager Zhang.

However, this new manager was later found guilty of corruption and was arrested.

That issue caused a big stir.

Such a person couldn’t possibly be a suitable partner for Xu Ying, so it was better to resolve this early to avoid future trouble.

Manager Zhang felt his mind was spinning too fast, today’s setbacks were too much.

If he didn’t handle this ‘all-purpose fried goods’ issue well, his position as manager might well be at its end.

Xu Jian paced back and forth in the procurement office, hands behind his back, making several quick laps. Xiao Sun couldn’t stand by anymore and rushed over to stop Manager Zhang.

“Manager, I think the food factory is really making headlines now. The last batch of braised duck has made good money for the State-owned Restaurant, so why don’t we stock up on that All-Purpose Frying Mix?”

No sooner had Xiao Sun finished speaking than Manager Zhang’s eyes bulged in anger. Before he could erupt, Xiao Sun quickly added, “Manager Zhang, I think the conflict between Director Wang and Mr. Sun can be resolved.”

Manager Zhang’s expression changed dramatically, from stormy to sunny, but with a hint of skepticism, he looked at Xiao Sun, “You have a way? Are you serious?”

Xiao Sun stood up straight, “If you trust me, Manager, just follow my instructions.”

Manager Zhang gave him a glance, almost upset that Xiao Sun was now telling him what to do.

But then, thinking of his own title, he softened, “Then tell me what should be done.”

Xiao Sun immediately chuckled, “Manager, the feud between our Director and Mr. Sun isn’t really a big deal. It’s just that the Director got duped by Mr. Sun once and has been holding a grudge.

“But if Mr. Sun takes the initiative to make amends with our Director, I’m sure our Director will cool down. Besides, who wouldn’t want to make more money if the Department Store exceeds its sales target this time?

“If the leadership praises our Director later, it will all be thanks to you, Manager.”

Manager Zhang was extremely pleased with the flattery, nodding for him to continue, “I have a friend who works in the sales department at the food factory, and he knows Master Xiao Xu well. Plus, the factory manager highly values him.

“If you trust me, I’ll go talk to my friend. If their food factory can sell the All-Purpose Frying Mix and braised duck to our Department Store, we’re sure to make a good amount.

“I believe Mr. Sun wouldn’t have become the factory manager if he wasn’t magnanimous, don’t you think!”

Xiao Sun thought, “Anyone who passes up making money is a fool.”

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhang’s eyes lit up, and he urged him, “What are you waiting for? Go ahead then!”

At this point, he was at a dead end, so he might as well give Xiao Sun’s idea a shot; it might be a way out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sun knew the deal was almost done, and he dashed out laughingly.

Third Uncle Xu had been waiting at the corner of the Department Store for quite some time. Upon seeing him emerge, he immediately beamed, “Er Ming, how did it go?”

Er Ming patted his chest proudly, “Brother Jian She, when have I ever disappointed you in handling matters? It’s a done deal.

“Your niece can come and see our manager tomorrow.

“Come on, let’s go have a drink.”

After all, he was on an important errand, and a slight delay wouldn’t hurt.

When Third Uncle Xu heard the mention of dining and drinking, he immediately itched for it, having stayed home and abstained from alcohol for quite some time.

“Okay, but I haven’t received my salary yet, so you treat me this time, and I’ll treat you to something nicer when I get my pay.”

Er Ming didn’t mind and agreed immediately.

He was quite curious about Xu JianShe’s decision to work in the food factory as a salesman, “How come you ended up in the food factory? Weren’t you supposed to only work in the textile factory?”

Xu JianShe had once vowed that he would work in the textile factory no matter what, just to prove a point to a certain couple.

Giving up so soon didn’t seem like Brother Jian She’s usual style.

Thinking about this, Er Ming asked about Xu Jiansheng’s recent whereabouts, “Why haven’t you come to the county these past few months? Where have you been?”

“Where else could I go? Just staying at home, being bossed around by my niece!” Xu JianShe mentioned his niece with a big smile and didn’t seem embarrassed at all by it.

If it hadn’t been for his niece bossing him around, could he have gotten a job at the food factory?

Xu JianShe looked at Er Ming, ready to give him a big scare.
