Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1012: Relax The Standard

April 28th, Saturday afternoon.

This shopping mall was originally a relatively popular shopping mall. It was even more crowded and lively now that it was the weekend.

A burly man who was about 1.82 meters tall stood at the entrance of a dessert shop in the shopping mall. He looked around blankly as he read the message on his cell phone.

All of a sudden, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder. He turned around, and a smile immediately appeared on his silly face. “Big black dog!”

Tian Mo also smiled. “Dongzi, we haven’t seen each other for more than a year, right?”

This burly man was Zhuang Dong, Tian Mo’s middle school classmate.

Both of them were very happy to see their old friends.

Zhuang Dong sized Tian Mo up from head to toe. “Eh? What’s with your outfit? Your hairstyle looks very energetic. I haven’t seen you for more than a year. Are you rich?”

Tian Mo had already followed Boss Pei’s instructions and found the stylist to package himself in all aspects.

He had also changed his hairstyle, clothes, and accessories. What’s more, he was dressed in casual clothes. He did not look like he was dressed for business. Instead, he gave off a youthful vibe.

The change was so huge that Zhuang Dong did not recognize it immediately.

Tian Mo smiled. “Let’s talk about my matters slowly. As for you, I heard from Tiezhu that you were tricked into a scammer’s nest by someone. You only managed to be rescued after two months? I was wondering why you didn’t reply to my messages during that time.”

Zhuang Dong scratched his head in shame. “I... the person who lied to me was one of my previous ‘masters’. I didn’t think of that either. But don’t worry, I ate and drank a lot there. I was rescued not long after.”

Tian Mo did not ask any more questions. He led Zhuang Dong into the shopping mall and said, “What do you do now?”

Zhuang Dong gave a silly smile. “I don’t have a job yet. An uncle of mine asked if he could help me arrange a job as a property security guard.”

Tian Mo shook his head. “What’s the point of security? You might as well follow me.”

Zhuang Dong was pleasantly surprised. “Really? Brother Gou, you’ve struck it rich? No problem, since I’m going to be a security guard. It’s even better to be your bodyguard! Brother Gou, you can just give me a salary. Of course, it would be even better if you could provide food and accommodation!”

Tian Mo smiled. “Don’t worry. I might not be the one who set the salary, but it’s definitely more than you can imagine! I didn’t make it big but I met a benefactor!”

“Do you know about Tengda Corporation? I know the boss of Tengda Corporation! He was the one who arranged this job!”

Tian Mo looked proud.

Was Tengda’s boss an ordinary person? How many people in Jingzhou wanted to meet him but could not? Wasn’t he proud that he could report daily?

Zhuang Dong was skeptical. “Are you serious? Isn’t Tengda a huge corporation? Are you sure it’s Tengda’s boss and not a scammer who uses Tengda’s name?”

Tian Mo rolled his eyes. “How can I be as stupid as you? You’re the one with the worst brain among us. You actually remind me about that?”

Zhuang Dong scratched his head in embarrassment. “Hehe, that’s true.”

The two of them walked to the entrance of the shop that Tian Mo had just taken over yesterday.

Tian Mo took out his keys from his pocket, opened the door, and led Zhuang Dong in.

“This is it. This will be our shop from now on!”

“Awesome, no?”

Tian Mo acted like a master, his words filled with pride and pride.

He knew very well that Boss Pei was very busy every day. There were very few opportunities for him to come to this store. Furthermore, there were no other leaders between him and Boss Pei. Thus, he was treated like a local tyrant in this store.

The turnover of this shop might have nothing to do with his income but he had almost all the rights to this shop. Naturally, he had the mentality of a boss.

Zhuang Dong was dumbfounded. “Good lord, such a huge shop! In such a huge shopping mall, the monthly rent should be a few hundred yuan, right?”

Tian Mo was a little speechless. “A few hundred? Do you think this place is free?”

“Forget it, I don’t blame you. You don’t have any concept of numbers. Those who scored thirty marks for mathematics shouldn’t be here to show off their understanding.”

“All in all, this will be our shop in the future. Once it stabilizes, I’ll call Tiezhu, Brother Der, and the rest over. We brothers will go through thick and thin together!”

Zhuang Dong was very moved. “Brother Gou, the first person you thought of when you became rich was me? I’m so touched!”

Tian Mo sighed. “There’s no other way. You’re the stupidest among our brothers. The others should be able to find temporary workers with their own abilities. I’m really worried about you.”

“What’s more...”

Tian Mo lowered his voice slightly. “I’m also testing the boss’s bottom line. If he can recruit someone like you, the other brothers should be fine as well.”

Zhuang Dong walked around the shop twice and carefully picked up a cell phone for display. “This is a real cell phone!”

Tian Mo: “Utter rubbish, can it be a fake cell phone?”

Zhuang Dong glanced at the price tag in front of the container. “Wow, it’s so expensive! It’s ten times more expensive than my cell phone.”

“There are still many unopened at the back?”

“All of these goods together would cost hundreds of thousands!”

“The boss trusts you too much! Isn’t he afraid that you’ll take it away and run away?!”

Tian Mo was speechless. “Run away my a*s! Is there something wrong with my brain? Would I want to go to jail instead of doing a job with a salary of a few thousand a month? What’s more, the boss trusts me so much. Would I still be considered a human if I were to be a petty thief in the shop?”

“Of course, I know that you’re not that kind of person, but the boss might not know. I just think that the boss is too bold. He handed such a huge shop directly to you. Such trust is not something ordinary people can have!”Zhuang Dong quickly replied.

Tian Mo nodded. “Of course. How can our boss be an ordinary person?”

Zhuang Dong sat on the sofa and asked, “Brother Gou, when do we start working?”

Tian Mo said, “Don’t be anxious. We have to follow the flow.”

“I’ve spoken to that stylist. I’ll bring you to do a styling later and repackage you so that you won’t affect the company’s image. Don’t worry, all the expenses will be reimbursed by the company. I don’t even know how much it cost.”

“When we get back, I’ll first teach you the principles of our sales department.”

“After you memorize the rules, I’ll introduce the detailed parameters of our products to you. You’ll remember them all.”

“During this period, help me take a look at the shop and learn how I communicate with customers. I have at least reached the entry level even though I haven’t met Boss Pei’s requirements for me to communicate with customers.”

Zhuang Dong was a little worried when he heard that he had to memorize things. “This... Brother Gou, it’s not like you don’t know. My memory is bad. I couldn’t even memorize ancient poems in junior high. It’s too difficult for me to remember so many things!”

Tian Mo nodded slightly. “Hmm... that’s true.”

“I had to memorize it for two days before I could memorize every single word. It was indeed hard on you to memorize so many things.”

“How about this? I’ll give Boss Pei a report and ask for instructions. I’ll see if I can relax the standards and only remember the general meaning.”

Zhuang Dong was elated. “That’s great!”

...

Tian Mo took out his cell phone and planned to send a message to Boss Pei to briefly explain Zhuang Dong’s situation after he sent Zhuang Dong to the stylist for a ‘makeover’.

Zhuang Dong’s situation might have met Boss Pei’s requirements perfectly, but Tian Mo still felt a little guilty when he really reported Zhuang Dong’s resume to Boss Pei.

What’s more, with Zhuang Dong’s IQ, he could not even memorize the rules. He had to beg Boss Pei to show mercy and relax the standards. That made Tian Mo even more nervous.

However, he still had to report the truth even though he felt uneasy.

He deleted and edited it several times. Finally, he made up his mind and pressed the send button.

“Boss Pei, I’ve found the first employee. His name is Zhuang Dong. He is a good friend of my middle school classmate. This is his photo and work experience...”

“Don’t worry, Boss Pei. Zhuang Dong might not be very smart, but he’s definitely a good person and very reliable! The only problem is that his memory is not particularly good. Can you be a little lenient about the regulations of the sales department? Can you just let him remember the general meaning?”

After sending the message, Tian Mo was a little nervous, afraid that Boss Pei would reject him directly.

However, Boss Pei replied in less than two minutes.

“Alright!”

“As the saying goes, one should not be particular about talent. The recruitment standards of the sales department have never been the same. Even if you memorize everything, it does not represent your true ability!”

“Since this person completely meets the criteria and is your good friend, there definitely won’t be a problem. Take care of the employees. I don’t have to worry about your work!”

Tian Mo was moved after reading Boss Pei’s warm reply.

“What did I do to deserve such trust from Boss Pei?!”

“We must work hard to repay Boss Pei for being so kind to us!”

...

Tian Mo did not know that Boss Pei was secretly delighted.

“This Tian Mo is not bad. He performed beyond his level and completed the mission perfectly!”

“Asked him to find someone who is not as good as him. He found me a friend who graduated from junior high so quickly. What’s more, he can’t even memorize these few rules? He even has to ask me to relax my standards?”

“Where did these talents come from?! That’s awesome!”

Tian Mo sent a photo of Zhuang Dong. Pei Qian took a look. This person was tall and strong. His square face looked very simple. For some reason, he had the air of Old Ma around him.

However, the problem was that Old Ma was still a student from a famous university. No matter how stupid he was, he still had a bottom line.

This guy had surpassed Old Ma in terms of education alone!

If the first employee that Tian Mo hired was already like this, how bad could the rest be?

They would definitely be more ‘outstanding’ than the last!

The development of the sales department had completely exceeded Pei Qian’s expectations. He could not even imagine how Tian Mo and the others would develop Tengda’s sales department in the future.

He was looking forward to it for some reason!
