Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 396 - 156: Another Capable Little Assistant!
The timing is just right, Su Zelin leaned over to Liu Wanyin’s ear and whispered, "Xiaoliu, let me tell you a secret."
The breath of the ruffian was a bit warm, and Liu Wanyin blushed, stuttering slightly as she spoke, "Wh-what secret?"
"By the latest next semester, you will be the store manager!"
"What!"
Liu Wanyin instantly forgot her shyness, her face full of surprise.
"This is what President Kang and I have discussed!" Su Zelin laughed, "You are diligent and eager to learn, meticulous in your work, excellent at managing accounts, with unlimited potential and a promising future. With a bit more experience, becoming a store manager will be no problem for you!"
Of course, this had nothing to do with Kang Baohong, it was the ruffian’s own intention.
In the Finance Management Class One, he needed a deputy, and the branch store of the Finance Academy needed one as well.
Liu Wanyin was a bit startled.
From childhood, she always thought of herself as an insignificant person, even though she was always the top student in her class, her personality kept her from ever being part of the class committee.
In an ordinary high school in a small town, not many could get into university in 2000, and making it to a second-tier university was as rare as a phoenix feather, yet Liu Wanyin was one of the few second-tier students back in high school, the only university student in her entire village. However, she still felt humble inside.
It wasn’t until college, when she met Su Zelin and overcame her social anxiety, that she began to build a bit of confidence.
But Liu Wanyin had never linked herself to a position like store manager, she didn’t even dare to think about it.
Now President Kang was actually planning to make her a store manager!
"I-I can’t do it..."
Realizing this, Liu Wanyin was instantly at a loss.
"Why can’t you?"
Su Zelin countered.
"As a leader, I am not imposing enough."
Liu Wanyin weakly stated the reason.
In his view, leaders are all imposing figures.
For example, Su Zelin, whether he is the class monitor of Finance Management Class One or the store manager at New Era, he may seem playful and unserious on the surface, but beneath that exterior, he possesses a strong aura. Like during meetings or speeches, he exudes strength, commanding respect.
Switching to herself, Liu Wanyin felt it was impossible to have such a presence.
"Wanyin, you are wrong. I recognize that you are not imposing enough, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a leader!"
Su Zelin earnestly corrected her.
"Managers can have multiple styles, some are stern and strict, while others are kind and inclusive!"
"A tough leader can certainly command obedience, but being overly harsh might also lead to resentment, being amiable can create rapport with subordinates, fostering a harmonious and friendly team atmosphere!"
"These two approaches to management have different attitudes, each with its pros and cons, neither can be said to be the better one!"
Teacher Su began his patient teaching.
As he reached this point, he asked, "Wanyin, do you know what I was like in high school?"
Not understanding why Su Zelin jumped to an irrelevant topic, Liu Wanyin thought for a moment and answered, "Excellent in grades, admired by everyone, often awarded as an outstanding student, and talented in many areas, a frequent attendee in school art performances."
The part about being excellent in grades, Liu Wanyin was not flattering.
Even though Su Zelin only got into a second-tier university, getting into a second-tier in the town back then was quite remarkable, the school even hung a banner, and the town awarded a bonus.
"Xiaoliu, you’re mistaken!" Su Zelin laughed heartily, "Except for being talented in many areas and a frequent attendee in school art performances, everything else was nearly the opposite."
"No way!"
Liu Wanyin’s eyes widened.
In her imagination, Su Zelin should have been a prince charming in high school.
"I’m not lying to you, during my high school days, I was at the bottom of my class in grades, smoked and got into fights, let alone class committee, I didn’t even qualify as a group leader in those three years!"
"My class teacher Guo Xingbang was very amiable, he always seemed like a smiling Buddha. Even though I dragged down the class, he never scolded me, always focused on encouragement, with guidance as a secondary measure!"
"Such a class teacher might seem to lack authority, yet our class’s overall performance was top-notch in the entire grade, every student, including me, respected him immensely!"
"This illustrates a point, amiable people can also be managers, just like you!"
Liu Wanyin was kind and simple, never quarreling with others, always eager to help.
Digital stores have high hygiene standards, after closing each night, they need to be cleaned and mopped, counters need to be wiped down every few days. Sometimes, even when it wasn’t her turn, Liu Wanyin would voluntarily help others clean.
It’s precisely because of her diligence and warm heart that she gets along well with every member of the team, no one would look unfavorably upon her.
Good rapport with people has already equipped her with the essential qualities of a manager.
"Wanyin, you have the potential to become someone like Old Guo, of course, if you could be a bit more imposing, that would be even better!"
The best management approach is to balance firmness and gentleness, combining authority with kindness.
The previous Luo Xi was too hard, but now the class queen knows when to be firm and when to be soft.
Liu Wanyin was too soft, and with her personality, it might be difficult to become tougher.
But Su Zelin’s requirements weren’t high, using Old Guo as a model was sufficient.
In his past company, similar management talents were not lacking.
"Xiaoliu, believe in yourself, and believe in me, my judgment won’t be wrong!"
Su Zelin had a lot of confidence in her.
Having said this, he looked around and lowered his voice again, "Let me tell you another secret, as a store manager, the salary isn’t just slightly higher than pocket money, your current salary can double without any problem!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Really?"
