Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 176 Humble Sensitivity and Grievance
At this moment, Chen Cheng saw that it was almost time for the opening, so he said to Zhao Siyan, "Siyan, you go ahead and get busy. I need to talk to Sister Shan about something."

"it is good."

Zhao Siyan nodded, stood up and said, "Sister Shan, Manager Chen, I'll be leaving now."

After Zhao Siyan left, Chen Cheng looked at Su Zishan and said in a serious tone, "Sister Shan, from today onwards, in business, Brother Qiang is our competitor. Three stores, located in three different locations, all with the same name, and even the owners are the same family. Do you know what that means?"

Su Zishan thought for a few seconds and said, "That means that to other people, the three stores are no different, right?"

"Correct."

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "This is actually more harmful than beneficial to us, because only we know that the other two are imposters. All the customers who come with the Wildness brand will be deceived by them, which is equivalent to taking money from our hands."

"Yes."

Su Zishan understood the underlying logic.

Chen Cheng instructed her: "Therefore, there are some principles and bottom lines you must adhere to. If they do well, we are not jealous, but if they do poorly, we cannot help them. You are siblings, and he is also a shareholder of this store. If he wants to use the name of this store, it is indeed difficult for you to refuse, but it is limited to the name. There should be no deeper involvement beyond the name. You cannot poach people from this store. If he insists on poaching people, at most let him take Lao Si and the others away."

"Okay!" Su Zishan nodded gently, and suddenly realized that at this moment, deep down, she was actually standing on the opposite side of her father and brother, and firmly on Chen Cheng's side.

But this is also very strange.

Chen Cheng wasn't the owner of this shop; he was only thinking of himself, which is why he tried his best not to follow the same path as his father and brother.

As a result, they went their separate ways in the nightclub business and even seemed to become potential competitors.

She couldn't help but look deeply at Chen Cheng, wondering why she listened to him so readily. For the past twenty years, her father had always been the most trustworthy person in her heart, but on this matter, she trusted Chen Cheng more.

So she said firmly, "Don't worry, I can separate business from life."

"That's good."

Chen Cheng was relieved and said with a smile, "I'll make a list of the discounts and exclusive services for each membership level and we'll start promoting it as soon as possible. Don't forget about the VIP hotline. Find a friend at the telecom company to get a good landline number. Also, the store will pay for two mobile phones. One will be placed at the bar, and the other will be for Siyan to take with her. She's the public relations manager, and she'll be handling all the major clients in the future. She can't be without a mobile phone. The store will cover the phone bills."

"Row."

Su Zishan immediately replied, "I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Chen Cheng felt he had said everything he needed to say, and the music outside started playing, so he said to her, "I'm going out to take a look, and then I'll go back."

Su Zishan asked him, "So eager? I was planning to invite you out for a late-night snack tonight."

Chen Cheng said, "I'm going back tonight to stay up all night. There are a lot of new activities going to be launched on the campus network this weekend."

Although Su Zishan felt a little regretful, she admired him even more, wondering how he could be so capable at such a young age.

Chen Cheng went outside, and the store was doing as well as ever.

Wildness has been steadily and surely making progress, and the business of the store has been on an upward trend. No wonder Su Jianfeng and Su Ziqiang are always thinking about opening a branch. With such a good business, anyone who stands here for a while will be confused.

Although it's Friday, neither Shen Luning nor Liu Shiyu came to the store to relax.

Shen Luning has been busy working with her father, Shen Zhou, to reduce costs and increase efficiency at Lingzhou Pharmaceuticals. Liu Shiyu knows that Chen Cheng is currently focused on the school's online community and doesn't come to the store much, so she has lost the motivation to come over.

Chen Cheng stayed in the store for about an hour and found that business was good and orderly. He also found that Zhao Siyan's work attitude and attention to detail were very good, so he decided to leave first.

He had greeted Su Zishan before, and Su Zishan always wanted to give him a ride, but he politely declined.

When they came out, Zhao Siyan chased after them.

She called out to Chen Cheng at the door and asked him, "Manager Chen, when do you have time? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Chen Cheng asked her, "Why are you inviting me to dinner?"

Zhao Siyan said earnestly, "You are my benefactor. Without you, I might still be looking for part-time jobs to earn a living. You gave me this job, and I don't have to worry about living expenses or tuition fees anymore."

As she spoke, she added, "Brother Qiang and Sister Shan have been quite kind to me because of you. I only started working here in the middle or late part of last month, but when I got paid on the 10th, they gave me 1,250 yuan. I've already made a lot of money recently."

Chen Cheng asked curiously, "How was this amount calculated?"

Zhao Siyan explained, "My base salary during the probation period was 1,500 yuan. The finance department said that September would be calculated as half a month's salary, which is 750 yuan. The other 500 yuan was the bonus that Brother Qiang promised on the day of team building. The finance department said that everyone would get it, but I didn't expect to get it too."

Chen Cheng nodded: "I understand. This is your salary, you deserve it." Zhao Siyan looked at Chen Cheng and said gratefully: "If it weren't for you giving me this opportunity, I wouldn't have earned this money. I've always wanted to thank you properly, so I wanted to treat you to a meal."

Then, Zhao Siyan quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I know you like Youyou and I know you don't like me, so I won't bother you with anything romantic right now. I'm just grateful and hope you can give me a chance..."

Chen Cheng rarely saw Zhao Siyan, who was straightforward and bold, become shy.

But at that moment, she was truly embarrassed, her cheeks flushed red.

Previously, Zhao Siyan was not inferior in front of Chen Cheng.

She felt that although she wasn't as pretty as Lu Youyou, she was still a standard beauty, and her academic performance wasn't too bad. Her only real disadvantage was her family background. But as a girl, she believed that as long as she took the initiative, being with Chen Cheng wouldn't be a big problem.

But ever since she met Chen Cheng in the Wilderness, she has become increasingly self-conscious in front of him.

She had seen clearly Chen Cheng's status and importance in the Wilderness these past few days, and she was able to get a high-paying job entirely thanks to Chen Cheng's help. So, when she confessed her weakness to Chen Cheng just now, her inferiority complex intensified.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Chen Cheng sighed and said, "Let's talk about dinner later. The situation at the store will be different from today. You need to be as active as possible and maintain good relationships with high-end customers. I've talked to Sister Shan and asked her to get you a cell phone. The store will reimburse your phone bill."

Zhao Siyan was very surprised and asked him, "Is this... appropriate?"

"Of course it's suitable."

Chen Cheng said, "Everyone hopes that with just one phone call, someone can arrange everything for them. The same goes for customers. In the future, if they want to make arrangements in advance, they can just call or text you and everything will be taken care of. This will also help increase their loyalty to the store."

Zhao Siyan asked with extreme caution, "Then...can I use it for personal purposes occasionally? Like telling my classmates or my grandma, so they can easily find me if something happens. It's quite troublesome for us to make a phone call now. She lives at my uncle's house, and my uncle's house doesn't have a phone. She can only call my dorm from the shop in the village, or I have to call the shop or ask someone to go to my house to call her..."

As she spoke, her eyes held a pleading yet self-conscious look as she looked at Chen Cheng.

Because her mother died early, her maternal grandmother always doted on her. However, her grandmother was from a farming family and had little money or ability, so even with her best efforts, she couldn't help her much.

Although Zhao Siyan earned some money, she had her own plans for it. She would use part of it to save for her living expenses and tuition, and save the rest to give to her grandmother when she could go back home during the Spring Festival or other times. She didn't plan to use it to buy such a luxury as a mobile phone.

Although it was difficult to talk to her grandmother, she always tried to find time to call her and tell her that everything was fine.

Now that the store can provide a mobile phone, it will be much easier for Grandma to find me.

It's just that mobile phone bills are expensive these days, and you have to pay to answer a call, so she felt a little embarrassed.

In Chen Cheng's memory, the old lady's fate was also unfortunate. She never enjoyed any happiness in her life and had to send off her beloved daughter, Zhao Siyan, before she graduated from university.

So Chen Cheng casually said, "Just use it normally. Part of it is for work, and part of it is also a benefit. You don't need to be so particular."

Zhao Siyan clenched her fist excitedly: "That's great! Thank you, Manager Chen! I will definitely try my best to limit personal use and call directly!"

Chen Cheng neither agreed nor disagreed, but advised her, "By the way, there are two things to keep in mind in the future. One is to protect yourself and try not to have any contact with customers outside of work. Of course, unless you are willing, I will not interfere. The other is not to neglect your studies too much. Don't put the cart before the horse by trying to earn some tuition and living expenses and then not being able to graduate."

Zhao Siyan was surprised that Chen Cheng would care about her. The humility, sensitivity, and grievances she had felt earlier suddenly overwhelmed her, and her eyes immediately reddened.

Chen Cheng knew her too well. Seeing her nose tremble slightly, he knew she was probably about to cry, so he quickly said, "Oh dear, I have to go now. You should go back and get busy. The shop will mainly rely on you from now on."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Siyan's reaction, he quickly walked to the side of the road, hailed a car, and left.

Zhao Siyan's tears flowed the moment Chen Cheng turned around. She knew that Chen Cheng had always kept his distance from her, but his sudden concern made her heart feel warm and happy.

She naturally had no idea what she had done to Chen Cheng in her past life.

She felt that she was about to completely fall for Chen Cheng.

As for Chen Cheng...

After all, they were strangers who had been together for four years and were the most familiar people. Having lived two lives, it was inevitable that they would feel a little sentimental at times.

However, he only sighed for three seconds while sitting in the taxi.

Three seconds later, he immediately realized the situation.

After being dumped by Zhao Siyan in his previous life, he actually did quite well, which is the key reason why he still feels sympathy for Zhao Siyan in this life.

If I had been a complete mess and destitute in my past life, and I were reborn into this life, I would probably start yelling at her right there at the dinner table.
