Chapter 128
I sighed and bowed. If betting on my life was the only thing that could prevent the ruin of my loved ones I would really bet my life. I love them so much. They were so important to me.
I just really hope that God will forgive me and guide me in doing this. I will never like what they ask me to do. I would never want to do evil.
To repay one life with another, as long as she agreed, she would not owe him anything anymore!
Arisen agreed easily since he had not mentioned the period anyway! She had so many exes, so he was just another on on the list. Tang Lang did not know about Arisen’s true story. “So, from what I see now, your safety was definitely secured!”
He then sighed, “Now you know why I need you to pay for my alcohol, don’t you? I might lose a part of my salary soon!”
Arisen stared at him in disbelief. “Don’t worry, you won’t! Didn’t you say that the best and most perfect weapon in the world was your body? So, please continue to train me! Who knows if he might go crazy and want to crush my bones? I have no one to rely on!”
“Well, that’s true, you still need me. I’m your Master!” Tang Lang nodded.
“However, since you’re not that useful and the fact that my safety was secured for now, your doubled salary has returned to the normal rate now!” Arisen grinned.
“Hey! You profiteer! You think I won’t go and get back my card from Tang Ye, huh?!” Tang Lang howled.
“Heh, you can always try. No one’s stopping you. But don’t say that I didn’t remind you. The last time I was caught there, I saw First Senior Brother with several new scars on his arms! He must’ve put himself through some devilish training! Compared to your training, I wonder if you’ll be getting your card back or giving your life up?”
“Little Junior Sister, I suddenly feel that your suggestion about my salary adjustment was appropriate!” Tang Lang quickly changed his attitude. Xinyan was impatient. The moment her proposal passed, she immediately opened her store.
On top of that, she organized a grand opening ceremony on the first day, inviting several popular celebrities over, and because of Lu Corporation backing her up, many socialites came over to support her.
At the same time, outside of Spirit’s store, Margaux and History’s marketing manager stood somewhere near the store. History had a store in this complex as well, but the location was not as strategic as Spirit’s. Their retailer was a general fashion retailer, and while they were not bad, their status and name could never beat Lu Corporation’s.
As he saw Margaux’s expression darkened, the manager said, “Boss, although Xinyan has the name of Lu Corporation behind her, she’s useless! All her previous businesses ended up losing money and her ex-partners were almost ruined by her, so her involvement with Spirit was Spirit’s misfortune!”
Margaux did not seem happy about it. She did not care about their business at all. It was the fact that Spirit was able to attract people like Xinyan. Margaux looked at the man beside her coldly. “You cannot let Spirit continue to grow. Use whatever method you can!”
“You cannot let Spirit continue to grow. Use whatever method you can!”
“Understood, Boss! Just wait and see! They were still too young to go against me!” The man looked confident. As for her, she had something more important going on.
It was confirmed that the elder was going to write his will! In just a few days time, the news of the cousin to the CEO of Lu Corporation, Xinyan’s new store opening spread like wildfire.
Many people came to support her. In addition to the strategic location of her store, her sales remained the highest among all the stores for the first few days.
Arisen was relieved when she saw Xinyan doing well. Aside from the spike in sales in the start, the sales of Xinyan’s franchise store had dropped steeply and the loss incurred was extremely severe.
“Seriously, with the support of so many people, a strategic location, and sufficient backup… she could still lose this much money… A real talent indeed! How does she even do that?” Arisen sighed.
Actually, Weilan had somewhat expected this to happen.
She had gone through Xinyan’s proposal personally and found the plan was pretty solid, but a business was run by people. With Xinyan as the boss, her decision would affect everything and if her execution went astray of her plan, the proposal would be meaningless.
With this much loss incurred, Xinyan did not tell Arisen about it and planned to tough it out, but numbers could not lie. Weilan could identify the problem at one glance.
She quickly called Arisen over for a discussion the moment she realized something was wrong.
“I’ve gone over and investigated how she was doing before. Historically, she would just lose more and more. She’s just not a business-minded person,” Weilan explained, “Not only could she not differentiate between peak season and normal season, to boost her sales numbers, she also had promotions almost every week. Although it looked like they attracted a lot of customers, as time went on, a high-end brand turned into cheap. After the event ended, how could she expect to sell them at the prices of a high-end brand again?”
Arisen looked helpless. She finally believed that that girl was really an amateur. In regard to Xinyan’s loss, Arisen sort of expected it, but she just did not expect it to be this severe.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“If this goes on, it’ll definitely negatively influence to Spirit as well as the other stores,” Weilan said.
Arisen pinched the bridge of her nose. ” Director Qiao, you’re still tied up with the business expansion project. I’ll go and discuss with Xinyan personally!”
Weilan nodded without any objection.
She was not afraid for Xinyan to make mistakes; she was afraid that Xinyan would not realize her own mistake and continue to make them. Judging by the conversation Arisen had with her the last time, they should be pretty close, so it would be great if they could talk this out.
