Chapter 415 Workplace Rules

At first, Yunya thought this place was better than the "Kuabu" store and that she would be happy working here, but reality was not what she expected.

Gradually, Yunya came to understand that as long as you work in society and interact with people, you will encounter backstabbing and unfair treatment.

But Yunya will not learn from them, nor does she want to become like them, currying favor with the powerful and belittling the weak.

She knew perfectly well that she was an honest person with few schemes. Fighting with those cunning and calculating people would only result in her getting hurt and suffering the consequences.

She just needs to do her job well; she doesn't need to worry about or be concerned about anything else.

She should focus on her duties and work hard to earn money; other matters are none of her concern.

As for the boss's favoritism, it's only because I'm new here and the boss hasn't seen my value yet.

If she becomes the top salesperson in the store, who will dare to bully her? Yun Ya made up her mind to become the sales champion.

After this incident, Yunya worked even harder. During lunch break, she would only take 10 minutes to eat a piece of bread or a pancake before going out to wait at the shop entrance for customers.

The other girls buy hot food from outside. Buying and eating take up 40 minutes, which greatly hinders their sales.

Especially on weekends, there are many people shopping, and if employees who eat slowly take a while, they can delay several completed orders.

There are also a few people who are always slacking off in the toilet, inadvertently delaying the time for serving customers.

After a month of relentless effort, Yunya finally achieved the top sales ranking in the store.

The landlady's attitude towards Yunya also underwent a dramatic change. She began to show concern for Yunya, and sometimes even had heart-to-heart talks with her, gossiping about everything.

The girls who used to bully Yun Ya suddenly changed their attitude and surrounded her, saying flattering things to her.

Yun Ya understood that they were only acting this way because the proprietress valued her.

She responded politely on the surface, but kept her distance from him in her heart.

That day, a difficult customer came into the shop, picking and choosing and making things difficult for everyone. The other girls all kept their distance, and even the shop owner frowned.

Yunya took the initiative to greet the customer and, with her sales experience and sincere attitude, gradually resolved the customer's dissatisfaction, ultimately facilitating the transaction.

The proprietress noticed this and admired Yunya even more, and their relationship gradually became more like that of friends.

But Yunya also learned a very old story from some of the long-time employees. That's why Yunya always keeps her distance from the boss and his wife.

This is a very old story.

There used to be a girl who was five or six years younger than the boss's wife. She was sweet and pretty, had a sweet tongue, was good at sales, and had a good relationship with the boss's wife.

The boss also appreciated her, and he and his wife discussed having the girl work part-time as a cashier.

They gave her an extra 200 yuan for her part-time job, and the girl did it with great ease, working there for three years.

The good times didn't last long. One time when she was collecting money, the girl lost the key to the cash drawer. She went to the prefab house behind the warehouse to get the key from the owner, and prepared to go back to the counter to collect money.

The boss had just finished eating and was resting in bed. His wife had gone to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, she returned to the bedroom of the prefab house and saw the girl pulling at the boss's pants.

The proprietress didn't give the girl a chance to explain and immediately started cursing. She called the girl a vixen who seduced her husband, a shameless slut, and other filthy insults.

The girl ran out crying, returned to the shop in front, packed her things, and prepared to quit her job and go home.

The furious proprietress actually followed her to the front of the store. She found a customer waiting at the cashier, so she took the customer's money first before dealing with the girl's matter.

The girl, blushing and crying, said, "Sister Cheng, please pay me my wages! I quit."

The proprietress snapped back, "Fine, don't do it then. We don't welcome vixens here either."

The girl retorted, "Don't wrong me. I lost my key and went to ask Mr. Chen for the key to the drawer. When you came, I was unfastening the keychain."

The proprietress thought for a moment and realized she really had been trying to untie a keychain. But she was the proprietress; the employee was the one who had made the mistake, and she couldn't apologize to her.

If I admit that I was wrong, how embarrassing would it be if she just cursed at me!

Besides, the fact that she doesn't have any ambiguous relationship with her husband now doesn't mean that nothing will happen in the future.

So the proprietress still wanted her to leave the store and didn't listen to her explanation at all.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chen, who was sleeping in the panel room, was still fast asleep and had no idea that a misunderstanding had occurred because of a set of keys.

The shop owner settled the girl's wages. The girl took the money, packed her things, got up and left without saying another word.

When the boss woke up in the afternoon, he went to the store to check the sales data. He didn't see the girl, so he casually asked, "Hey, where's Xiaotian?"

The shrewd girls in the shop remained silent, but one honest girl said, "Boss, Xiaotian has quit."

The boss frowned, pondering, "He was doing so well, why did he quit?" He looked at his wife and asked her why.

The proprietress's eyes darted around, and she vaguely said that Xiaotian wanted to leave on his own. The boss became suspicious, but didn't press the matter further.

The honest girl, Xiao Wan, watched all of this unfold, and she knew in her heart that things were not so simple.

In the days that followed, everyone continued to work diligently, as if the incident had never happened.

However, the proprietress began to feel dissatisfied, worried that someone else might get too close to the boss, just like Xiaotian did back then.

So she began to observe all the employees, intentionally or unintentionally, determined to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Gradually, the boss discovered the truth and had a serious talk with his wife, telling her that personal suspicions should not affect the store's development.

Although the proprietress was unwilling, she could only suppress her resentment. Deep down, she secretly kept an eye on the new employees.

After learning about these past events, Yun Ya became even more reluctant to get too familiar with the landlady.

She worked at the store for a year, during which time many customers were poached, but Yunya always managed to win them back.

Yun Ya had heard from others that the workplace is a dog-eat-dog world. Now she was experiencing this cruel reality firsthand in her own workplace.

During her work hours, Yunya would go to internet cafes, go shopping, and stroll in the park with her colleagues after her early shift.

A new girl brought Yunya into the disco.
