Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 172: Special Instructions from the Boss

The next morning dawned clear and mild.

Jiang Qin got dressed and left the house, accompanied by several core members of Team 208: Dong Wenhao, Su Nai, Lu Xuemei, and Wei Lanlan, as they headed to Linchuan the University of Science of Technology.

Boss, are we going to promote group buying? asked one of the team members.

Jiang Qin hummed in affirmation, then added, Were just going to do some preliminary work. The real promotion will start around New Years Day.

Su Nai, watching Jiang Qin concentrate on driving, didnt disturb him but couldnt resist whispering to Wei Lanlan sitting beside her.

The boss is a real workaholic. No sooner has the group buying stabilized than hes off to the next target.

Youre just realizing this now?

Im just curious, doesnt he need to take time out to be with the boss lady?

Christmas Eve and Christmas are just around the corner. The boss surely has plans already. The boss lady is going to be spoiled rotten.

Hearing the laughter from the backseat, Jiang Qin frowned slightly. What are you talking about? Is there something I shouldnt hear?

Were discussing how well work hard today, Su Nai replied seriously, trying to suppress her smile.

Thats the spirit, Su Nai. Youre truly a valuable employee. Ill give you some extra tasks later.

Ignoring Su Nais feigned outrage, Jiang Qin drove into the university with a smile and parked the car near Xi Tians gate.

Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemei were then assigned as one team, Dong Wenhao and Su Nai as another, while Jiang Qin worked alone, dispersing to their respective tasks.

Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemeis mission involved negotiating contracts with nearby merchants and initiating delivery training.

This included verifying orders, transferring merchandise, and managing financial calculations.

Jiang Qin had established a standard procedure for all these processes from the outset, which Linchuan University was now following.

As the business expanded, this standard process needed to be continually updated to prevent unforeseen troubles in later stages. Making rules at that point would be futile.

Why does the merchant bear the responsibility for compensating missing orders?

Thats company policy. We hold the primary responsible party accountable, so we hope youll take merchandise preparation seriously. Of course, our riders will also check the goods upon collection. With these dual processes, missing orders are unlikely.

And what about lost orders?

During promotional periods, if there are lost or missing orders, the company will deal with them according to the policy. Here are the details.

Can we change the payment time at the beginning of next month? We restock mid-month, so this would mean advancing half a months funds.

According to company policy, all merchants must settle accounts at the same time.

After a round of visits, Wei Lanlan, reciting the script prepared by Jiang Qin, felt her throat dry from repeatedly saying company policy until the words almost lost their meaning.

Some merchants werent happy with the company policy of group buying, finding it too rigid and impersonal. They wanted more benefits and fewer obligations.

At such times, Wei Lanlan would show them the sales data from Linchuan Universitys trial run.

Upon seeing the December sales data for Linchuan Universitys stationery store, one merchant immediately agreed to the terms without further comment.

Talk is cheap; money speaks.

People can be very pragmatic at times.

After leaving the stationery store, Wei Lanlan took a deep breath, unscrewed her water bottle, and took a few sips to soothe her throat.

These rules set by the boss feel like a one-size-fits-all approach, with every detail rigorously defined.

Lu Xuemei couldnt help but share her thoughts.

The boss said that once the companys policies become the industry standard, many future troubles will be avoided. People wont be questioning why all the time, nor will they ask on what grounds because we already have the policies in place, and the policies themselves are the reasons.

Wei Lanlan repeated the words Jiang Qin had entrusted to her.

Can we really achieve such an effect?

Theres a saying, custom becomes law. Thats the idea. Strict rules might seem more harmful than beneficial at the moment, but the boss said hes laying the groundwork for the future. Standardization of processes is the first step towards growth and strength.

Lu Xuemei blinked thoughtfully. So, were setting rules for everything now to prevent small issues from becoming big problems once we expand?

Exactly.

But wont it be exhausting to negotiate with each merchant individually? Cant we gather them all together and have them sign the contract at once?

Wei Lanlan shook her head. The boss specifically mentioned this. Once merchants band together, they tend to become greedy. If one starts a commotion, countless others might follow suit. Even showing them sales data wont help, especially when dealing with troublemakers who easily stir emotions. Thats why we must negotiate with each one individually.

Lu Xuemei understood. What about the training? Any special instructions for that?

The boss said training can be done collectively. Once the contracts are signed, theres no fear of merchants backing out at the last minute.

It feels like hes rehearsed every step of the process in his mind a million times, and were just tools executing the tasks. Especially those special instructions, they always come in handy.

Dong Wenhao told me something a few days ago.

What did he say?

Some paths are safe when the boss leads us, but if we walk them alone, well fall into a pit.

Meanwhile, Dong Wenhao and Su Nai went to Room 502, gathering all the part-time students for a meeting to assign upcoming tasks.

Linchuan the University of Science of Technology, unlike their home university, was a branch and had many operational challenges.

Information dissemination was not as timely and accurate as at their home university.

This was especially true during promotional activities, when everyone was extremely busy, leading to significant delays in communication.

Therefore, following Jiang Qins instructions, Dong Wenhao and Su Nai needed to select a manager and a deputy manager from among the students for comprehensive management, reporting directly to Jiang Qin.

Lai Cunqing from the market team had shown commendable performance, not only stable in character but also technically experienced.

Ding Qiaona from the content team was also excellent, with a flexible mind, full of ideas, and capable of adapting to situations.

After discussing, Su Nai and Dong Wenhao shortlisted these two as candidates, intending to let Jiang Qin decide.

At the same time, Jiang Qin was in Zhang Mingans office, signing a plethora of agreements including work-study programs, joint agreements with the university, and various third-party contracts, all centered around group buying.

Director, arent there too many agreements? I feel like Im wearing out my fingerprints.

Youre here as an entrepreneurial student from another school; you have to sign each agreement three times, along with a bunch of supplemental agreements. What can I do?

Jiang Qin wiped his fingers. Anything else to sign?

Zhang Mingan tossed another stack of papers at him. Take your time, theres plenty more. Were not short on them.

Jiang Qins mouth twitched. Cant we simplify the process?

You could register a company. Business-to-business transactions would cut the process at least in half, Zhang Mingan suggested helpfully.

Jiang Qin, looking at the stack of agreements, was overwhelmed. Cant we just remove the staples and bind them into one document for me to sign all at once?

Zhang Mingan glanced at him. Of course not. These agreements fall under different departmental jurisdictions. How can you combine them all into one?

I dont remember signing this many when I promoted the forum last time.

That thats because Director Hu was biased against group buying. Signing more gives him peace of mind.

Finishing his explanation, Zhang Mingan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Indeed, Hu Maolin had fully delegated the task of liaising with Jiang Qin to Zhang Mingan, but he too lacked confidence, hence dredging up all sorts of chaotic agreements.

The concern wasnt the abundance of agreements, but the potential confusion in explaining them later.

However, Zhang Mingans actions were not out of distrust for Jiang Qin; he had personally witnessed the tragic end of a previous group buying venture.

You should consider registering a company when you have time.

After signing the agreements, Jiang Qin put down his pen, bid farewell to Zhang Mingan, and left the universitys administrative office.

Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemei had already returned, and Dong Wenhao and Su Nai had finished their meeting. The group reconvened at Xi Tian, sipping milk tea while updating Jiang Qin on their progress.

Wei Lanlans report was straightforward since the agreements were standardized and the rules were strictly defined. The only variable was deciding who would be the manager and deputy manager at the universitys technology branch.

I think Lai Cunqing is a good choice. Hes one of the first employees and very thorough in his work.

But I think Ding Qiaona is also suitable. She has strong coordination skills and is good at adapting.

Dong Wenhao pondered for a moment. Ding Qiaona is indeed capable, but shes too full of ideas. Im afraid she might disrupt the promotions rhythm.

Thats true. But can Lai Cunqing handle the market at the university alone? Su Nai expressed her doubts.

Boss, what do you think?

Jiang Qin was engrossed in chatting with Feng Nanshu on QQ.

The conversation was lively, with Feng Nanshu big brother starting to dominate the screen, creating a significant shift in the dynamics.

The girl was becoming increasingly skilled at emoting, displaying a high level of sophistication.

One moment she was aloof, and the next, she would be affectionately calling someone big brother. It was hard to resist such charm.

Jiang Qin couldnt imagine how hed handle such emoting in person. The screen offered some protection, but face-to-face, it would be overwhelming.

He blamed Ding Xue for this and planned to get even with Cao Guangyu, making them understand the perils of human nature.

Boss?

Let Lai Cunqing be the manager and Ding Qiaona the deputy manager.

Jiang Qin put away his phone, decisively ending the discussion.

For the second phase of the group buying project, stability was preferred over speed. At present, Lai Cunqings style seemed most suitable.

Ding Qiaona was creative and quick-thinking, but her ideas might not be beneficial during the promotion, potentially causing hindrances.

As Wei Lanlan had said, at this stage, Jiang Qin needed his team to be efficient executors of tasks, without any unnecessary complications.

Of course, once the market stabilized, those with flexible minds would naturally become invaluable.
