She was dumbfounded.
If she had known that the person so haphazardly dressed in front of her was the Lu Corporation's eldest daughter, she would have treated her well. This job was not overbearing; she could have stepped up to the challenge.
Manager Zhang walked in front of Wang Li.
"Our Lu Corporation does not need people who do not know how to respect their customers. I will prepare your month's salary. Pack up and leave."
Wang Li begged bitterly, "Manager, I will change. Please forgive me just this once!"
Manager Zhang did not even look at her and said, "I already know that you often bullied your fellow employees in private. I just never had the time to address your foul attitude. Now that I've done so, I'll see to the end of this poor behavior. You can go now."
Wang Li glared at Lu Yuxi fiercely. 'It was all because of this meddling spoiled brat. She wouldn't have lost her job if it weren't for Lu Yuxi,’ she thought. She packed her things angrily and left.
Seeing Wang Li leave, Xiao Mei felt both sympathetic and a bit pleased. No one would bully and take her money anymore. She could now keep the money she earned for her family.
Now that the person with poor customer skills had left, Lu Yuxi continued on her task and pointed to the lights above her head.
"The lights are too dim and not up to standard. Immediately change these lights to something brighter and softer. Install crystal hanging lights, and..."
As she spoke, she took out a few pictures from her backpack and handed them to manager Zhang, saying, "Immediately, transform these pictures into real jewelry using the best jade, pearls, and diamonds. Make as many as you can."
"Tomorrow, I want to see the results. Also, get someone to make a thousand copies of these pictures. Then, two hours before the finished products are released tomorrow, send them to everyone on the streets. Each passerby should have a copy on their hands."
Manager Zhang held the picture in her hand and looked at Secretary Liu, who was standing behind Lu Yuxi, awkwardly. She started to speak but was cut short, "This..."
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yuxi asked angrily. "Hurry up and go. If anything bad happens, I'll take responsibility. It's none of your business."
Having sensed that Lu Yuxi was truly angry, manager Zhang quickly got to work.
Puzzled, Secretary Liu asked, "Miss, what are you planning?"
Lu Yuxi explained, "You don't understand. It's challenging to sell jewelry through traditional means. This is a new sales plan. Distributing flyers to let others know that there are new and affordable products being offered is Lu Jewelry's new advertising strategy."
Also, the poor lighting makes the room look dark, which does not accentuate the jewelry at all. Lighting is crucial when we're dealing with crystals and gems that rely on reflection and glimmer."
This explanation left Secretary Liu dumbfounded and amazed. When did his miss become so intuitive in business?
"Miss, then this drawing of yours?"
Lu Yuxi stammered as she explained. "Uh, tell me about the drawing. What do you think of it? I drew it myself last night."
Lu Yuxi secretly apologized to the future designers who actually drew the designs, 'Masters, I'm sorry I stole your work. I can't tell him that I was reborn. What if he pulls me into the lunatic asylum later!'
Lu Yuxi said, "Don't tell my father about this first. When things go as planned, I'll tell him. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility!"
Secretary Liu said, "Yes, I understand."
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Monday.
Lu Yuxi had gone to check on the progress the past few days. She planned to go today after school as well. As soon as she entered the classroom and sat down, she was surrounded by her classmates.
"Lu Yuxi, do you still have any of the jewelry that your family sold yesterday? Look at it carefully. I didn't even manage to snatch it yesterday. It was sold out so quickly. The store looked like people rushing for supplies during an apocalypse. It was scary!"
Another person added, "That's right, Lu Yuxi, we're classmates, right? Can you ask your dad to save a few for me? Because they're so exquisite and beautiful. The Li Group's products are no match for what your company had to offer."
"That's right, the forestry industry is just so-so, after all. Did your family hire a professional designer or something?"
"Didn’t you see the Li group's jewelry shop yesterday? There wasn't even a single person in it. It was very deserted!"
It was not even past 10 am, and Lu Yuxi was already bombarded with questions and comments from her classmates. Many of them took out their drawings to compare with one another. They exchanged notes as to who bought which design and what they missed. 'This was indeed an aristocratic school,' thought Lu Yuxi. Her family's jewelry wasn't cheap, yet her classmates could afford more than one piece. It seemed that the drawings she drew were very popular!
Fortunately, she was a woman who loved jewelry in her previous life. Otherwise, she would not have a clue how to draw any design that people wanted.
As soon as school was over, Lu Yuxi grabbed her school bag and ran out of the classroom. Xiao Ran thought that she had to use the bathroom.
Lu Yuxi ran all the way. Good thing the school was not far from the jewelry store, so she arrived very soon.
As soon as she entered the store, Lu Yuxi saw the busy sales girls and customers. When she walked into the VIP lounge, Lu Yuxi saw her father.
Surprised, she asked, "Dad, you... you... why... are... you... here?"
Lu Zhengming smiled amiably and said, "This girl. Were you never going to tell me to visit? If Manager Zhang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about the success!"
Lu Yuxi glared at Manager Zhang as if to say, "You talk too much."
Lu Zhengming gently patted Lu Yuxi's back and said, "Lu Yuxi, I've always thought that you were still a child who hasn't grown up. This time, it's you who helped me get through this difficult time. I'm here to apologize to you.
"You've grown up. In the future, dad's company will be handed over to you. You have to study hard. "
Lu Yuxi nodded gravely, clenched her fists, and secretly swore.
'Don't worry, father. I'll study hard. I won't let you get killed, and I won't let the company fall into the hands of others.'
"Father, do you believe me now? Your daughter can do it. In the future, I'll draw a few more designs, have them take all the outdated jewelry, and replace them with my ideas. A new design every week to ensure sales. Also, leave the shopping mall visit to me. I'll head on over there with Secretary Liu now. You should go home first. There might be a guest visiting later."
Lu Zhengming was confused. "Guest? What guest?"
Lu Yuxi replied, "Dad, don't ask. You'll know when the guest arrives. Now go back home!"
After sending Lu Zhengming away, Lu yuxi narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
If she guessed correctly, Wang Maihe was going to come and introduce herself today.
This time, she had to 'receive' her 'sister' properly.
She quickly finished her tasks with Secretary Liu at the mall and hurried home, all the while having not forgotten to ask for a leave from her afternoon classes.
In her previous life, the cunning Wang Maihe took advantage of Lu Yuxi's absence because the latter was at school and used the opportunity to meet her family. Wang Maihe was able to incorporate herself into the family, even though the circumstances were unclear.
It had to be said that the enemy was quite cunning.
"Master Qi Shifu, hurry up and drive. It's urgent," Lu Yuxi anxiously urged her driver.
Master Qi said calmly, "Miss, you saw it too. The traffic is so heavy. I can't go fast even if I wanted to."
Lu Yuxi looked at the long line of stranded vehicles in front of her.
She gritted her teeth, opened the door, and ran out of the car. "Master Qi Shifu, I'm going to take a shortcut. Drive safely." After saying that, she ran into the alley.
As this alley was less populated, Lu Yuxi felt goosebumps and rushed forward with all her might.
"Aiyo, who is it?"
"Who was so careless and threw rubbish everywhere, causing me to fall like a horse?"
Lu Yuxi crawled up in pain. She patted the dirt off her body and looked behind her to see what had tripped her. If she did not look, she would not know. The moment she saw it, she was shocked.
Oh my goodness, a gun.
There were two handguns in a small black cloth bag. She saw the model before on TV. Lying before her were two M-7 pistols.
But why were there guns lying around in this area? Lu Yuxi quickly glanced around her and kicked the guns beside her feet.
She shouted softly, "Is there anyone who wants it? Who owns these guns? Hello?"
After shouting a few times to make sure no one was around, she stuffed the gun into the small cloth bag and shoved it into her backpack. Then Lu Yuxi ran toward her house without looking back.
