Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 136 Gentle but Ambitious

Fortunately, Professor Xu might have just been in a whim. Lin Shuwan said that she was back to normal by the time she attended the second class.

Professor Feng continued to stare at Ye Ke, but not as intensely as he'd been monitoring him. Instead, he would glance at him from time to time. Needless to say, Ye Ke was highly focused under his watchful eye, and he gained a lot from the class.

After the decoration of Ye Ke's villa was completed, Lin Shuwan kept saying that she must repay Ye Ke and recommended herself to accompany Ye Ke to choose furniture.

Of course Ye Ke would not refuse, and the two of them went to Wei Qian'an's furniture store together. The clerk in the store had been replaced by a girl. Although not the same one at the beginning, the current female clerk was also enthusiastic, cheerful, and very friendly, and could make people let down their guard inadvertently.

Because of the different decoration styles, Ye Ke originally planned to buy only one-third of the furniture in this store. However, following the matching suggestions of the female salesperson, he directly bought half of it.

When checking out, Ye Ke looked at the bill in his hand with his mouth slightly opened in surprise, his eyes puzzled, "Why is it so cheap?"

The clerk smiled kindly and said, "Boss Wei has already told you that you should come here to buy furniture soon. I will give you the lowest discount then."

Ye Ke was even more surprised at this moment. She had explained, but how did she recognize him?

Perhaps the confusion on Ye Ke's face was too obvious, and the clerk understood it at a glance.

She explained thoughtfully, "Ms. Ye may not remember. I used to work in a hotel and have seen you a few times."

She started out working in the housekeeping department of the Jun'an Hotel. Later, when the furniture store was looking for someone to look after the store, due to time constraints and the need to find a reliable person, they directly recruited internally. Although the base salary was not high, the commission was very good.

Besides...she felt that with just one furniture store, it was impossible for President Wei to focus on it all the time. If she seized this opportunity to join the store, would President Wei give her priority when he was looking for someone to manage it later?

She just thought about it and decided without much hesitation to go out and try her luck. Although the job in the hotel was stable and comfortable, there would be room for advancement if she worked hard.

But this road is too slow.

She thought about how her family and friends often praised her for her sweet words and how her introductions to products made people want to buy them. So, why not turn her strengths into advantages at work?

But she was a lot of people who shared the same idea. About seven or eight people competed for the position that day. She was a little nervous during the interview, because she wasn't the best qualified candidate in any way.

But when it was her turn for the interview, when she saw the frown on Mr. Wei's face suddenly relax, she felt that she was probably in the bag.

The person chosen in the end was indeed her.

Later, when President Wei came to inspect the store, she mustered up the courage to ask him directly how she had defeated those people.

After all, there are both men and women interviewing together. Some have outstanding looks, and some are eloquent, which are all advantages to being a good salesperson.

Mr. Wei's tone was calm at the time, but it inexplicably gave her courage, "Because you are calm and friendly, and you think from the customer's perspective, people are willing to listen to you.

In the service industry, no matter how outstanding you are, you cannot act superior in front of your customers."

After hearing this, she suddenly thought of her colleagues. Some of them were outstanding in appearance, so they were arrogant and couldn't let go of their status. Some of them were eloquent, so they were full of teaching...

Only she, because her competitors were too good, relaxed with the mentality of "since I'm here, I might as well give it a try."

"More importantly, you are gentle yet ambitious."

Just when she thought that Mr. Wei's words about being ambitious were meant to criticize her, she heard Mr. Wei say, "Work hard. I have high hopes for you."

Ambition? Although I don't know where President Wei saw it from, wanting to make a lot of money is indeed her ambition.

Ye Ke looked at the female clerk in front of him and praised her sincerely, "Your boss Wei is quite discerning. It's a shame to put a talent like you in the housekeeping department!"

Ye Ke thinks that although she is not stubborn, she is not the kind of person who will change her mind just because of what others say.

The female salesperson could persuade her to buy more with just a few words. Even Lin Shuwan, who was originally just accompanying her, was persuaded by her vivid description to buy two more chairs.

And the saleswoman isn't the kind of random suggestion that makes you regret your impulsive purchases. She's genuinely thinking about your outfit, helping you choose the products you need and checking for any missing items.

It’s really excellent!

The female clerk smiled after being praised by Ye Ke and took out two cup sets from under the table, "Ms. Ye, Ms. Lin, these are your gifts."

Two exquisite gift boxes were placed at the front desk, each containing a kettle, four cups and four saucers.

One set is pure white with gold lace, and the surface has a spiral design, like a blooming flower, with delicate texture, rich layers, simple but not simple.

The other set is in gorgeous French style, with a bright and luxurious appearance. The flowers on the cup are three-dimensional and lively, as if capturing the essence of French afternoon tea, full of romance and poetry.

It was obvious that they were not picked up casually, but were carefully selected according to their preferences.

Ye Ke and Lin Shuwan both reached out to the cup sets at the same time, but Ye Ke touched the first set and Lin Shuwan touched the second set.

Seeing that the two people made different choices, Lin Shuwan narrowed her eyes and asked in surprise, "I only bought two chairs, and I got a gift too?"

The female clerk smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, no matter how much you spend, you are our valued customer."

Of course, buying only two chairs will not give you this set of cups, but all customers who have made purchases in the store will have their records registered. As soon as Lin Shuwan swiped her card, she found her previous large purchase records.

Moreover, President Wei had specifically mentioned that if Lin Shuwan accompanied Ye Ke when she came to buy furniture, he would give her an extra copy.

Giving these small gifts to high-spending customers was initially a personal decision for her. After all, most of those who can come into the store and spend a lot of money on items are well-off. She believes that maintaining good relationships with customers will always bring unexpected surprises.

After all, the price of a set of cups is nothing compared to the high commission she received.

Later, when General Manager Wei was inspecting the store, he noticed the pile of gifts and she was a little worried. Fortunately, after understanding her purpose and the effect, General Manager Wei not only did not criticize her, but instead directly charged the expense to the furniture store's account. This way, she even saved the money.

Now she feels more and more that transferring from the hotel to the furniture store was a wise choice. After all, her salary plus commission last month was more than what she earned in a quarter at the hotel.

Days like this are so promising!
