Chapter 28 Saturday Afternoon, April 28th

This shopping mall was already quite popular in the area, and now that it was the weekend, it was even more crowded and lively.

A guy, about six feet tall, with a very sturdy build but a somewhat simple expression, stood in front of a dessert shop in the mall, looking at the information on his phone while gazing around blankly.

Suddenly, he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned his head and a smile immediately appeared on his somewhat simple face: "Da Hei Gou!" (Big Black Dog)

Tian Mo also smiled: "Dongzi, it must have been more than a year since we last saw each other."

This sturdy guy was called Zhuang Dong, and he was Tian Mo's junior high school classmate.

The two were very happy to see each other again.

Zhuang Dong looked Tian Mo up and down: "Hey? What's with your outfit? This little hairstyle is also very energetic. Did you make a fortune in the past year or so??"

Tian Mo had already found the stylist, as President Pei had instructed, and had a comprehensive makeover.

Including his hairstyle, clothes, and accessories, everything had been changed. Moreover, it was all casual wear, which didn't have the business feel of formal wear, but instead gave people a trendy, youthful vibe.

The change was so drastic that Zhuang Dong didn't recognize him at first.

Tian Mo smiled: "I'll tell you about my stuff later. But what about you? I heard from Tie Zhu that you were tricked into a scammer's den, and it took more than two months to get rescued? I was wondering why you didn't reply to my messages during that time."

Zhuang Dong scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "I... the person who tricked me was one of my former 'masters', I didn't expect it. But don't worry, I ate and drank well inside, and was rescued not long after."

Tian Mo didn't ask any further questions, and led Zhuang Dong into the mall while saying, "So, what kind of work are you doing now?"

Zhuang Dong smiled sheepishly: "I don't have a job yet. An uncle of mine said he would help me ask around to see if he could arrange a job as a security guard in a residential complex."

Tian Mo shook his head: "What's the point of being a security guard? Why don't you just work with me."

Zhuang Dong said in surprise: "Really? Dog Bro, you've struck it rich? No problem, it's all security work anyway, it's better to be a security guard for a brother! Dog Bro, you can give me any salary you want, of course, it would be even better if you provide room and board!"

Tian Mo smiled: "Don't worry, although I don't set the salary, it will definitely be more than you can imagine! I haven't struck it rich, I've just met a benefactor!"

"Do you know Tenda Group? I know the boss of Tenda Group! He arranged this job for me!"

Tian Mo looked proud.

Was the boss of Tenda just an ordinary person? There were so many people in Jingzhou who wanted to meet him but couldn't, and now he could report to him every day. Wasn't this something to be proud of?

Zhuang Dong was skeptical: "Really? Isn't Tenda a big group? Are you sure that's the boss of Tenda? Don't let it be a scammer using Tenda's name."

Tian Mo rolled his eyes: "Am I as stupid as you? Among us brothers, you're the least quick-witted. You still have the nerve to remind me."

Zhuang Dong scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Hehe, that's true."

As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the store that Tian Mo had just taken over yesterday.

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

"This is it, this will be our store from now on!"

"Awesome, right?"

Tian Mo struck a pose as if he was the owner, his words revealing a strong sense of pride and self-satisfaction.

He knew very well that President Pei was very busy and would rarely have the opportunity to come to this store. Moreover, there were no other leaders between him and President Pei, so he was definitely treated like a local emperor in this store.

Although the store's turnover had nothing to do with his income, he had almost complete control over the store, so he naturally had a sense of ownership.

Zhuang Dong was dumbfounded: "Wow, such a big store! In this kind of big shopping mall, the monthly rent must be several hundred, right?"

Tian Mo was a little speechless: "Several hundred? Do you think this place is free?"

"Forget it, I don't blame you. You have no concept of numbers. Don't show off your understanding when you get thirty points in math."

"Anyway, this will be our store from now on. When things stabilize after a while, I'll call Tie Zhu, Der Ge (Brother Der), and the others, so we can share the hardships and the wealth together!"

Zhuang Dong was very touched: "Dog Bro, you thought of me first when you made it? I'm so touched!"

Tian Mo said with emotion: "There's no way, who told you that you're the dumbest among us brothers? The other guys should be able to find a temporary job to do temporarily on their own, but I'm really worried about you."

"And..."

Tian Mo lowered his voice slightly: "I'm also testing the boss's bottom line. If he can recruit someone like you, then the other brothers should be fine too."

Zhuang Dong walked around the store and carefully picked up a display phone to play with: "This is a real phone!"

Tian Mo: "Nonsense, would we sell fake phones?"

Zhuang Dong glanced at the price tag in front of the counter: "Good guy, it's so expensive! Ten times more expensive than my phone."

"There are still a lot of unopened ones in the back?"

"Adding up all these goods, the total price must be close to several hundred thousand!"

"The boss trusts you too much! Isn't he afraid that you'll run away with the stuff?"

Tian Mo was very speechless: "Run away for what? Am I out of my mind? Would I give up a job with a salary of several thousand a month to go to jail? Besides, the boss trusts me so much. If I were to steal from the store, would I still be human?"

Zhuang Dong quickly said: "Of course I know you're not that kind of person, but the boss may not know that. I just think this boss is too bold. He directly handed such a big store over to you. This kind of trust is not something that ordinary people can have!"

Tian Mo nodded: "Of course, is our boss an ordinary person?"

Zhuang Dong sat on the sofa and asked, "Dog Bro, when do we start working?"

Tian Mo said: "Don't worry, we have to follow the process."

"I've already talked to that stylist. I'll take you to get a makeover later to repackage you, so as not to affect the company's image. Don't worry, all the expenses are directly charged to the company for reimbursement. I don't even know how much it costs."

"After you come back, I'll first teach you to memorize the sales department's guidelines."

"After you've memorized the guidelines, I'll introduce you to the detailed parameters of the various products in our store, and you have to memorize them all."

"During this time, you can help me watch the store and also learn how I communicate with customers. Although I haven't fully met President Pei's requirements in terms of communicating with customers, I've at least gotten started."

As soon as he heard that he had to memorize things, Zhuang Dong became worried: "This... Dog Bro, it's not like you don't know, my memory is not good. I couldn't even memorize ancient poems properly in junior high school. It's too difficult for me to memorize so many things!"

Tian Mo nodded slightly: "Hmm... that's right."

"It took me two days to memorize everything without missing a word. It's really a bit difficult for you to memorize so many things."

"How about this, I'll give President Pei a report and ask him if he can relax the standards a bit, so you only need to remember the general meaning."

Zhuang Dong was very happy: "That's great!"

…

After Tian Mo sent Zhuang Dong to the stylist for a "makeover," he took out his phone and planned to send a message to President Pei to briefly explain Zhuang Dong's situation.

Although Zhuang Dong's situation perfectly met President Pei's requirements, Tian Mo still felt a little guilty when he actually reported Zhuang Dong's resume to President Pei.

What's more, even Zhuang Dong's IQ was so low that he couldn't even memorize the guidelines properly, and he had to ask President Pei to be merciful and relax the standards. This made Tian Mo even more uneasy.

But uneasy as he was, he still had to report the situation truthfully.

He deleted and revised the message several times before finally making up his mind and pressing the send button.

"President Pei, the first employee has been found. His name is Zhuang Dong. He's my junior high school classmate and a very good brother. This is his photo and work experience..."

"President Pei, don't worry, although Zhuang Dong is not very smart, he is definitely a good person and very reliable! The only problem is that his memory is not very good. Can you be a little lenient with the sales department's guidelines? Can you let him just remember the general meaning?"

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

However, in less than two minutes, President Pei replied.

"Okay!"

"As the saying goes, we must recruit talents in an unconventional way. The recruitment standards of the sales department have never been fixed, and rote memorization cannot represent real ability!"

"Since this person fully meets the standards and is also your good brother, then there is definitely no problem. You can handle these employees as you see fit. I trust you to do things!"

After reading President Pei's warm and affectionate reply, Tian Mo was deeply moved.

"What virtue and ability do I have to be trusted so much by President Pei!"

"I must work hard to repay President Pei's kindness to us brothers!"

…

Tian Mo didn't know that President Pei was secretly delighted at this time.

"This Tian Mo is good. He's performing beyond expectations and completing the task perfectly!"

"He said he would find someone worse than him, and he directly found me a junior high school graduate so quickly, and he can't even memorize these few guidelines properly? And I have to ask me to relax the standards?"

"Where did he find all these talents! It's really great!"

Tian Mo sent Zhuang Dong's photo. Pei Qian looked at it. This man was tall and sturdy, with a square face that looked very simple, giving people a sense of Lao Ma (Old Ma) for no reason.

But the problem was that Lao Ma (Old Ma), no matter what, was a student of a famous university, and his IQ, no matter how off the charts, still had a bottom line.

This guy had completely surpassed Lao Ma (Old Ma) in terms of education alone!

The first employee Tian Mo recruited was already like this, how could the ones behind be worse?

They must be more and more "excellent"!

Now the development of the sales department had completely exceeded Pei Qian's expectations, and he could hardly estimate what Tian Mo and his group would turn Tenda's sales department into in the future.

He was inexplicably looking forward to it!
