Yee’s work ethic was honed early.Her parents,Art and Pui of Guangdong province,started their bright sixth grade daughter waiting tables at the family’s Chinese restaurant.“I used to hate it,” says Yee,“But I learned a lot about running a business.” Graduating from high school at age 15,she decided to take time off before continuing her education.But while working a sales job at a local leather store,the excitement of retail proved addictive and Yee cancelled her plans for college.Moving to Chicago in 1986,she became manager of a high-end clothing store.While on a business trip to Minneapolis in 1990,she met marketing executive Larry Weinberg,now 48.“He was the nicest man I never met,” she recalls of the soft-spoken Weinberg.“He reminded me of my dad.” Following the L.A.shopping episode and a thoughtful moment,she emerged a businesswoman,and embarked upon a three-year commuter courtship.Yee moved to Minnesota,and in 1995 the couple wed.Weinberg is now Zhen’s vice president.
Although no longer actively involved in the business,Yee’s sisters---Gail,45,Teresa,43,and Elaine,41,all Columbus postal workers; Jane,33,customer service rep; and Leigh,21,a college student (brother Gary,50,is bus driver)---often play guinea pigs as Yee tries out new products.Earlier they also served as models for Zhen’s first catalog.“Growing up,there was never an Asian face on TV or in magazines,” says Yee.“That’s why it was important to use my sisters.Besides,” she adds,“They’re beautiful---and they were free.”
