84: Chapter 84 Data fabrication! You're quite the genius!

Could it be that she also likes the development direction he pointed out?

Cheng Jinhua and Ye Hongwei also nodded seriously.

They didn't have much objection to the development direction set by Su Yang; after all, the company belonged to the boss.

As long as the salary is sufficient, that's fine!

Moreover, the development directions Su Yang pointed out actually have decent money-making potential.

The income of influencers in content areas like beauty, automobiles, fashion, and digital products is generally much higher than influencers with the same number of followers.

It's just not easy to do; the difficulty level is a bit high.

"Also, our company should not deceive those young men and women who are inexperienced in the world. If they really have no talent, let them go. For those with potential, we can strengthen our ties with them," Su Yang tapped the desk and said, "And don't cooperate with any plastic surgery clinics. With my support, you don't need to earn that kind of conscience-less money."

Many young people nowadays want to be influencers; there's no helping that!

People are naturally inclined to seek ease and avoid work.

Just like with work, who doesn't want a job that pays well, has little to do, and is close to home?

Cheng Jinhua and Ye Hongwei nodded repeatedly; they loved hearing Su Yang say this.

If they could earn clean money, who would want to do bad things?

Sometimes, they just turn a blind eye to things!

Yu Siying smiled and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean!"

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Okay, Boss!"

"Also, the profiles of the influencers signed by the company must be shown to me for review beforehand!"

"Okay!"

After the short meeting, Su Yang first returned to Jiuxiang Catering, and then took Manager Zhou from the Market Expansion Department and two employees to the shop location they had found.

This time, Su Yang was quite lucky; the first shop location met his minimum requirements.

It didn't need the special buff of Jiuxiang Catering; it could be left to the company to operate.

It could probably make a monthly profit of around 30,000.

If the special buff were added, it could increase by about 20,000.

There's really no need to open a shop with such meager profits.

Besides needing employees, he also needed to roll his capital.

Otherwise, when would he be able to grow big and strong?

Next, Su Yang inspected the second shop.

To his surprise, he found that it was a long-term loss-making shop that couldn't be saved.

Su Yang glanced at the employee named Xu Hong; his skin was quite... fair!

He looked again at the employee, who was still happy and excited, tanned!

"Manager Zhou, bring me Xu Hong's data report!"

"Okay!"

Manager Zhou quickly took the file out of his briefcase and handed it to Su Yang.

Su Yang carefully looked at the foot traffic data for the seven days of the week.

According to the data, it should have been a perfectly good shop.

He looked at the foot traffic on the street in front of him again; it was clearly a bit sparse.

Recalling that the period when the data was recorded wasn't any holiday, and noticing that Xu Hong's sense of belonging to the company was barely passing, perhaps it was entirely for the sake of the salary!

He frowned and asked, "Xu Hong, you faked the data, didn't you?"

"Boss, I didn't!"

"How about I send someone to count again?"

"I'm sorry, Boss!"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Hong admitted it.

"Manager Zhou, handle this according to company regulations!"

"Okay, Boss!"

Manager Zhou's expression didn't look too good either.

He also had responsibility for this matter.

The shops that Su Yang personally inspected had all been preliminarily screened by him.

Xu Hong hurriedly shouted, "Boss, don't fire me!"

Su Yang did not respond to Xu Hong's words but got straight into the car.

There were more than thirty employees in the Market Expansion Department running around outside. Even if many didn't achieve results, as long as they tried their best, Su Yang would accept it.

After all, his requirements were harsh; finding a shop required not only vision but also luck.

Even if their vision was proven to be lacking, as long as they were down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and as long as they were willing to follow, Su Yang could transfer them to other simpler positions.

But faking data was something that absolutely could not be forgiven!

Back at the company, Su Yang had Zhou Yaoxian re-verify the statistical data sent back by the Market Expansion Department employees periodically to see if there were any obvious traces of forgery.

Su Yang also casually flipped through a few, and then he saw his cousin's statistical survey form.

Soon, he discovered the problem with his cousin.

Others wrote that the foot traffic at the entrance on Monday from 7:00 to midnight was generally around 4,300, or 4,900 to 5,200.

This was certainly normal.

After all, it was impossible for employees to actually count them one by one.

Estimating a roughly accurate number was also allowed.

But his cousin often wrote 2,414, 4,589—such extremely precise numbers.

He took He Zhiheng's statistical survey form, went outside the office, and dialed his cousin's number.

"Cou... Boss!"

"What's going on with the numbers on this survey form of yours? Are you sure they're accurate?"

"Yes, I counted them one by one, guaranteed accurate!"

Su Yang fell silent.

After a long while, he asked, "You don't eat, you don't go to the bathroom?"

"I can eat while counting. When I go to the bathroom, I can ask the employee from the shop next door to help me record a video, and I'll count it when I get back!"

Hey!

"Damn it, you really are a talent!"

Su Yang couldn't help but cover his forehead.

He Zhiheng continued, "I've always been recording while counting. Sometimes if I feel it's not accurate, I'll recount it during my breaks to confirm... There shouldn't be any problems."

Su Yang really wanted to say that the data indeed had no problems.

"But you have a problem!"

"For a salary of six or seven thousand, you managed to produce the value of twenty thousand!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "How many times do you usually lock the door when you go to sleep?"

"Uh!" He Zhiheng thought for a moment, "I don't know, but I often feel like I haven't locked the door. Even though I know I've locked it well, I don't feel at ease in my heart, and I often have to get up and lock the door again... over and over."

"Alright!" Su Yang advised, "The foot traffic data doesn't need to be so precise; an error of about two hundred is allowed."

"But I always feel uneasy and worried!"

"You seem to have OCD."

"Seems like a little!"

Is this just a "little" problem?

Ending the call with He Zhiheng, Su Yang felt a bit helpless.

Should his cousin receive some psychological counseling?

He also felt that He Zhiheng might not be very suitable for the Market Expansion Department.

When the central kitchen is established, he might be more suitable there.

The central kitchen will produce various semi-finished ingredients needed for the Jiuxiang Beef Hotpot chain in the future, and it has extremely strict requirements for hygiene.

That kind of place should be suitable for a person with OCD like his cousin, who is serious and responsible about work, inflexible, and doesn't like dealing with people!

If he also had a bit of mysophobia... wouldn't that make him even better?

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly felt that he was a bit unscrupulous; after all, it was his own cousin!

After moving around a little in the office, Su Yang came to the gym.

Just as he reached the gym door, he heard a "pop" from a party popper.

"Congratulations, you have successfully stuck to checking in for twenty-one days!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

This voice sounded very familiar to Su Yang.

It seemed to be his former boss, Xia Jianjun.

Entering the door and looking in, he saw Lu Wanwan putting a silver commemorative medal on the smiling Xia Jianjun, and there was pink confetti hanging on his head.

The other two receptionists were also clapping on the side, acting as a competent atmosphere group.

He didn't expect that Old Xia, who was nearly forty, could still stick to exercising for twenty-one days.

"Hello, Boss!"

The receptionist greeted Su Yang hurriedly upon seeing him.

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded, then turned and gave a thumbs up to Xia Jianjun: "Manager Xia, you are really amazing; most people can't stick to checking in for twenty-one days!"
