【Anti-theft Sticker Chapter】

Upper East Side, Manhattan.

The silver Chevrolet stopped under a light gray apartment building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East 68th Street, and the woman in a black Gucci trench coat got out of the car and reconfirmed her address before walking into the apartment building.

There was already a girl in her early twenties waiting for her in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment, but the security guard carefully confirmed the woman's identity before letting them into the elevator.

The two went to the 12th floor, introduced themselves to a girl named Megan, and led the woman into an apartment building.

Looking at the luxury duplex apartment in front of her, which she had never dared to look forward to, the woman was stunned for a moment, feeling the pride and contempt in the eyes of the girl next to her, she quickly gathered her mind, and then noticed that the apartment was being cleaned.

And, like Meghan, the people in charge of cleaning are young girls in their early twenties who have a figure of more than 80 points.

Megan stepped forward and whispered a few words to the other girl, and then said to her, "Lady Fercy is in the cellar, Miss Arentz, please come with me." ”

Wine cellar?

Do you want to go downstairs?

Thinking so, Megan made a gesture of please and went straight to the corridor next to the living room, and she hurriedly followed.

The living room was bigger than the one she rented in Greenwich Village, and along the hallway, she couldn't help but find that this duplex apartment was just over 4,000 square feet of space on a single floor. The cellar was in a room at the end of the hallway, which was not originally underground.

However, the retro design of the exposed brick walls, which is very different from the rest of the apartment, gives it a basement feel.

Megan entered the room, without the slightest arrogance just now, and said politely: "Ms. Fercy, Miss Arrenz has arrived." ”

Sophia Fesse was putting a case of wine on the wine rack when she saw the two of them appear, carefully arranging a bottle of white wine, before she came over and hugged the woman gently, and said, "Good afternoon, Angie, you are so beautiful in this trench coat." ”

The woman's name is Angela Arentz, 28 years old, and she is the president of Gucci's US branch that Sophia has just confirmed. The two had been in contact several times before, negotiated all the details, and agreed to formally sign the contract this afternoon.

Angela Arenz responded with Sophia's hug and said, "Thank you, Sophie. ”

"Maybe we have to wait a while," let go of Angela, Sophia sent away Megan, who was still standing at the door, came to the box of wine just now, carefully picked up a bottle and put it on the wine rack, stroked the bottle and said: "The 1971 white wine produced by the Jufu Sundial Garden of Hagrid Winery, 1971 is the only year in decades that the comprehensive climatic conditions of the German Moselle Valley wine region have reached 98 points, and the area of the best Jufu Sundial Garden is only 3 hectares. I just photographed this case of wine for Simon at Sotheby's last night, Anji, how much do you think it will cost?"

Angela Arendz looked at her with a blank look in her eyes, thought for a while, and said boldly: "$100,000?"

Sophia smiled, didn't give an answer, set the remaining two bottles of wine, and led Angela out of the cellar. The girls had basically finished cleaning the apartment, and Sophia checked it herself, made sure it was correct, and sent the seven girls away, and she herself left the apartment with Angela Arentz.

It was already noon.

The two chose a restaurant nearby and ordered a meal, and Sophia took the initiative to explain: "Simon and Jenny are not in the United States, so let me help them clean the house, I am actually Simon's housekeeper." ”

Angela Arenz hesitated, but still couldn't hold back her curiosity: "Those girls?"

"Simon is a perfectionist, and he says it's hard for him to imagine a middle-aged Mexican maid with a fat body who is a student at Columbia University or New York University, and they only need to work three hours a week to get $500," Sophia said. ”

Angela Arentz did a quick mental calculation that seven girls, each with $500, would need $3,500 for one cleaning, and if the frequency of once a week is followed, the cost of cleaning alone will exceed $180,000 a year.

Oh, my God.

The annual salary of his last job was only $120,000.

With a smile on her face, Sophia waited patiently for a moment before asking, "How do you feel?"

Angela looked up at Sophia and said, "Our boss ......"

Just a start, Angela still didn't continue.

Sophia made up for her in a relaxed tone: "Bastard, or villain?"

Angela laughed and said, "I didn't say that. ”

In the past two years, the minimum hourly wage in a metropolis like New York has been less than $5, and these college students can only earn a maximum of $1 or 200 a week if they want to supplement their daily expenses through regular part-time jobs.

One guy offered a group of young girls an easy job that paid $500 for three hours a week, and more importantly, exposed them to the luxury scene at the top of the world's pyramid.

It's hard to imagine what will happen when these girls get out of the ivory tower and start to face the real world, and some kind of psychological gap accumulates.

Sophia said: "They are all very good girls, with outstanding appearance and excellent grades. Although they only work part-time, they have all undergone background checks to confirm that they and their family members have no tainted records, and they are required to undergo rigorous housekeeping training before joining the company. Our boss didn't really have anything else in mind when he hired them, he just liked everything beautiful. But for these girls, having been immersed in a world that does not belong to them, it is probably difficult to keep their hearts anymore. ”

Angela remembered her momentary distraction when she first entered the apartment and the unjustified arrogance of the girl named Megan, and couldn't help but say, "Sophie, what kind of person is he?"

"Well, you'll know when you see him," Sophia couldn't find the right adjective for a while, and said, "However, the reason why you were able to get this job is because of Simon." Of the several candidates' resumes, you have the least qualifications. ”

Angela suddenly became curious again: "Westeros has seen my resume?"

Sophia nodded, "yes." ”

"So, what does he say about me?"

Sophia couldn't help but smile a little on her face, and said, "He said, you are very beautiful, I can let you try it." ”

Angela and Sophia looked at each other for a moment, and found that Sophia didn't mean to lie at all, so she raised her hand in disbelief and gestured: "Then, that's how I got this job?"

Sophia still smiled and said, "Yes, as a subordinate, I must learn to read the boss." ”

When she was in Melbourne, Sophia showed Simon the information of some candidates for positions such as Gucci's creative director and the president of Gucci's US branch that she was preparing for an interview.

Of course, Sophia will not give this job to Angela Arentz, who is only 28 years old this year and has only worked in the fashion industry for 6 years, the fundamental reason is that in the interview in recent days, Sophia found that Angela's proposed business idea is exactly what Gucci needs, and the lot of information collected by all parties also confirmed Angela Alentz's excellent work ability, and finally there may be some Simon elements, so Sophia decided to hire the other party.

Angela was still a little stunned when she heard Sophia say this, and said, "Sophie, you must be joking with me, right?"

Sophia didn't want to give her subordinates the impression of being indiscreet, so she nodded moderately, "I like your entry point about improving the customer experience in Gucci boutiques." Long ago, as an onlooker, I often heard about the rudeness and arrogance of Gucci boutiques towards customers, even the result of deliberate connivance by management. Gucci's decline over the years is not unrelated to the self-righteous arrogance of the Gucci family. Gucci is a luxury brand, and it is right to be proud, but that pride should be on the inside, not on the surface. Anji, the first thing you need to do when you join the company is to change that. ”

Angela nodded sympathetically.

From the day she submitted her resume, although she didn't think she could get the job easily, she still made a lot of preparations. The Gucci trench coat on his body at this time is the result of repeated visits to Gucci stores in New York these days.

Compared to other luxury brands, the service attitude of Gucci boutiques is really difficult to compliment.

For customers, the clerk not only does not provide thoughtful service, but also has an attitude of not buying, and sometimes unabashedly criticizes them in front of customers, and even gives customers some indecent nicknames.

Angela also heard an old story in the circle.

In the '70s, when a New York magazine published an article criticizing Gucci stores for neglecting customers, Aldo Gucci, the head of Gucci USA at the time, not only did not care about the impact of the article on Gucci's reputation, but instead sent a bouquet of flowers to the reporter to thank him for 'advertising' Gucci.

"Sophie, there's one thing I need to discuss with you first," Angela said after Sophia finished speaking, "After joining the company, the first thing I have to do is to fire all the clerks in the Gucci store here in New York, and I have accumulated some resources over the years, so I can find someone to fill their vacancies as soon as possible." As for specialty stores in other regions, I will visit them one by one before making a decision. ”

Once the employment contract is signed, these are actually within Angela's purview.

However, Sophia also knew why she brought it up. Many of the clerks in the Gucci store in New York are the children of the upper Italian class who live and study in the United States, and these people generally only take the Gucci store job as a part-time job, and the original Gucci family is also happy to give these favors.
