"Maybe it's because there are more good things this year," Caroline said. Generally speaking, the Youyou store is relatively smooth, and the two branches were successfully opened at the end of last year and the beginning of this year respectively.

However, Caroline's good mood only lasted until she opened the investigation report in her hand.

"Mr. Dolin, it seems that you want to copy a 'Duolin Best' according to our model?"

Caroline read the detailed description of Mr. Doring's recent business activities in New York in the investigation report, and said angrily.

After working for so long, Caroline also understands that when a business model is successful, there will always be many followers, even in many other industries.

In the past two years, countless people have learned to imitate Meisi's way. Caroline doesn't care anymore, and Ms. Green is even more familiar with it.

But Mr. Duolin has gone too far. Judging from the report sent by mail, the new store he opened recently has completely copied the Max Best Store in terms of product categories, store decoration style, activity methods, and staffing.

According to the words in the report, "When I walked into Mr. Dolin's 'Dolin's Selection', I almost thought that the new branch of the Best Store had opened in New York."

In fact, last year, when Ms. Green hadn’t decided on the branch partner of Hermes Premium Store, Mr. Dolin expressed his cooperation intention several times.

However, Mr. Dolin’s main business area is usually in New York State, which is too far away from Chicago, the business center of Meisi. Whether it is the post-transportation cost of goods or the mutual contact between stores, the cost of maintaining uniformity is too high. It is expensive and not suitable as an alternative location for a branch.

So Ms. Green never considered the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

Unexpectedly, during Christmas, Ms. Green received a letter from a friend in New York.

This friend has been to Meisi Department Store and Youyou Store last year, and he is familiar with the style here.I heard that a new "self-shopping" store was about to open on Seventh Avenue, so I mentioned it in the blessing letter to Ms. Green.

When she read the name "Dorling" in the letter, Ms. Green couldn't help but think a little more intuition, so she asked people who took care of other businesses in New York to pay special attention to this shop, and it was in Caroline's hands. of this report.

"Your reaction was bigger than I imagined," Ms. Green said with a smile, looking at Caroline's expression.

"I just think...Dorlin is already a successful businessman, don't you think it's too far behind in this way?" Caroline frowned and handed back the folder.

"Since there is already a mature and profitable model, why should he make a new attempt that may fail? Anyway, for most people, profit is the most important thing, isn't it?" Ms. Green smiled indifferently one time.

Caroline admitted that Ms. Green had a good point.Opportunities are often accompanied by risks. The so-called "first person to eat crabs" may make a lot of money, or lose everything.

She just wasn't feeling well.

"Nadolin, do we need any measures?"

"I've already been watched by people, so don't worry about them for now," Ms. Green said seemingly casually,

"How's the Southern District branch going these two days?"

"From the previous sales data, it's not bad. When Veroni comes back in the afternoon, I'll summarize the specific situation."

Ms. Green nodded, "If you go to the branch in the afternoon, don't rush to come back before six o'clock. If there is nothing special, you can report to me the next day."

Speaking of which, the former Caroline would never have guessed that the current deputy manager of the branch is actually Veroni, the head waiter in the customer leisure area on the third floor.

After Ms. Green announced the branch plan of Youyou Store, Veroni took the initiative to apply to be transferred from the leisure area to work in Youyou Store. With her outstanding performance, she became the deputy store manager of the branch when selecting employees.

At present, the manager of the branch is also Caroline.

Except for the first half month of opening, Caroline went to the branch once or twice a week on average, and worked at the head office of Youyou Store or the shopping mall office at other times. Veroni returned to the head office after the branch closed every day. Report on the business situation of the day.

To be honest, although Caroline didn't have much contact with Veroni in private, she admired Veroni quite a lot.This girl is tactful without breaking the bottom line, and has her own pursuit. The two of them have been very happy to cooperate in the past few months.

After work, Caroline returned to her office.The office had been converted from a spare room in the Premium Store building, a few months after Caroline had moved in.

She changed her clothes, took out the small gift she had prepared in advance, and went to the staff lounge of Meisi Department Store to find her friends who were waiting for her.

"You're here at last, Caroline," Anne said with a smile, taking her arm. Joanna and Charlotte were also there.

The few of them made an appointment today to visit Vivian after giving birth together.

Vivienne is not a character who can live at leisure, and she doesn't like to be at home, so she didn't quit her job and go home after she became pregnant like most women.Instead, he worked for another five or six months at Meisi Department Store before leaving.

While chatting about the exposition that everyone was talking about recently, they took the carriage to the place where Vivienne and Jason are renting now, which is an apartment with four large rooms in the West District.Since she was pregnant, Jason has hired a maid to cook and clean during the day, and now he has hired a live-in woman to help take care of Vivian and the baby.

"Obviously, Jason and I are both pretty, why is this kid so ugly?" Vivienne recovered well, and at the moment she was joking with her baby, who was not yet full moon, surrounded by everyone in the middle of the sofa.

"Our Alice is beautiful, don't talk nonsense," Jason just came back from the cloth store, he hugged his daughter from Vivienne, and greeted everyone while shaking his arms gently.

"Honey, since you're back, take care of Alice for a while, I'll go talk to everyone." Vivian slowly stood up from the sofa, and took her friend to her study and living room .

"Your life looks good now! I don't worry about it for nothing." Joanna was the last to enter the room and closed the door behind her.

In the past two years, she has gradually become more mature than before, and she no longer jumps out like she used to, and often says some dumbfounding things.But whenever there are only a few of their friends around, Joanna will unknowingly transform back into that heartless little girl.

In fact, in the past few years, the salespersons on the first floor of Meisi department store have also changed a lot, but later three or four young girls formed another circle of friends, and their small circle has never changed.

Neither Caroline's promotion nor Vivian's temporary departure could weaken their friendship.

"I've stayed at home enough. I go back and forth between these two rooms and these two people every day. I can't even go out for a walk." Vivienne glanced "ghostly" in the direction of Joanna and Anne.

"Then do you have any plans to return to Meisi?" Annie sat next to Vivienne and took her hand comfortingly.

When Vivienne left Meisi, she asked Ms. Green nervously if she could come back later.

At that time, Ms. Green said that as long as she wanted to come back and could guarantee the quality of her work, Meisi would definitely have her place.

This answer made Vivian, who was emotionally sensitive at the time, cry for a while lying in the arms of Caroline and Annie.

The expression on Vivian's face gradually faded.After a moment of silence, I spoke, "I don't plan to go back to Meisi to be a salesperson."

The girls looked at me and you, and fell into a brief silence because of Vivian's words.

"Don't keep talking." Vivien grabbed Annie with one hand, and pulled Caroline who was standing aside with the other.

She once said that she would go back to work after a good rest, and then everyone would be the same as before.But life often changes people's minds, and this is a decision she made after careful consideration.

"I believe Vivian must have her own arrangements, right?" Caroline was the first to break the silence, rubbing Vivian's cheek lightly.

Vivienne nodded, let go of her hands and got up to the table, glanced at the direction of the door, and patted the stack of books on the desk, "Except for the two weeks when I was bedridden, the Jason Cloth Store in the past two months I am responsible for all the accounts. In the future, I plan to stay in the store to manage the accounts. "

At first, Vivienne just felt a little boring at home, so she took the initiative to help Jason check the accounts he brought home when he was in better spirits.

Later, Jason saw that his wife was quite interested in the business of the cloth shop, so he proposed that she could stay in the shop as the proprietress in the future.

In fact, when the business of the cloth shop improves, Vivienne will come to help the shop, which is what the two had discussed before they got married.It's just that Jason feels that Vivienne likes hat accessories and her work at Meisi very much, so he refrained from mentioning it.

Caroline's words made the girls come to their senses, and they took turns congratulating Vivienne for finally becoming a "shop owner".

"Managing your own store is always more motivating than working for the boss," everyone said.

Vivian knew that the people in this room were all friends who really cared about her, and she also knew that everyone would support her decision.

It's just that she has worked in Meisi for more than five years, and almost all her youthful memories are here.Leaving Meisi was like saying goodbye to her past life at the same time for Vivienne, and she felt that she needed courage.

She has already received part of her strength from her lover.Now, she's getting some more from friends.

"In the future, we can still find time to get together every month," Caroline said with a smile, "When the time comes, you big boss, don't forget to invite us to the theater."

Vivienne responded with a full mouth, and then suddenly realized that it was Caroline who was speaking, and clasped her wrist with her backhand, "Caroline, others are telling me to watch the show, but how dare you!"

"One person invites one, take turns, don't fight, don't fight," Joanna said with a big smile.

beyond a wall,

Little Alice had already fallen asleep in his father's arms. Jason wanted to put her in the crib, but he was a little reluctant to put her down, so he just kept holding her in his arms.

Hearing the laughter coming from the room, he looked at his daughter, smiled and said softly, "Alice, your mother is very happy today."
