Chapter Eighty-Nine: Beware on the Road
The five big men didn't say a word, they glanced at Guan Ke with a gaze in the corner of their eyes, and each stretched out a hand, wanting to shake Guan Ke.
The customs officer took out the hand towel in his pocket and wrapped it around his hand, and then shook hands with the five people one by one.
The five men looked at the white silk scarf, and their unstoppable temper was about to explode. The behavior of the customs guests is a naked insult to them, and shaking hands with them wrapped in tissues as if their hands are particularly dirty, how can this not make the big men angry?
A flat-headed strong man with a rattlesnake pattern engraved on his right arm couldn't help it, he grabbed the collar of the passer, and asked fiercely: "What do you mean?
Guan Ke was a little out of breath, and he thought that his face must be a little red due to the lack of smooth blood circulation. He said with a smile: "It's just my personal habit, I don't mean to look down on you, I hope you don't mind." ”
The flat-headed strong man snorted angrily, pulled the right hand of the passer, and threw the handkerchief to the side, and one of his big hands shook the kinker's hand again.
Because the flat-headed strong man's hands were a little strong, Guan Ke felt that the bones in his palms were about to deform. His face was a little ugly, but he still had to keep smiling, he didn't want to offend people on other people's territory. He said, "Big brother, you're holding too hard. ”
Yuan Qian felt that it was enough to give Guan Ke a dismount, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, he is just a weak scholar, he can't stand your grip so strongly, and he still doesn't let go of his hand?"
When Xiao Wang, a flat-headed strong man, heard this, he let go of his hand after pinching it hard.
The Guan Ke was held by the other party for the last time, and his teeth were bared. Yuan Qian pretended not to see that Guan Ke was neither crying nor laughing, and spoke for his subordinates: "I'm sorry, they are rough people, they have always been straightforward, and when they see the chairman, they can't help but want to get closer, and they can't help but be unable to control their strength when shaking hands, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
If you don't forgive, you can't do it, so many big men are staring at each other, and if you dare to say half a word, I'm afraid he will rush up and beat you up. An ugly smile appeared on Guan Ke's face, and he said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
As if he had just remembered, Yuan Qian stretched out his hand, shook his right hand three times with Guan Ke's right hand, which was not surrounded by a handkerchief, and said, "I haven't officially introduced myself to you yet." My name is Yuan Qian, I am the general manager of Hongxin KTV, and I have been in this business for more than ten years. Because it is too busy, there is a place where the hospitality is not good for a while, and I ask the chairman to forgive me. ”
A strange look flashed on Guan Ke's face, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Qian. However, this look was fleeting, even if Yuan Qian felt puzzled, it was a matter of a moment, and soon he forgot about the strangeness of the passer.
The guest who returned to normal said, "You have been very well entertained. ”
Yuan Qian smiled falsely and said, "That's good, that's good." After talking for a long time, he found that everyone was still standing, so Yuan Qian continued: "Don't stand, everyone, sit, sit." With that, he walked over to one of the innermost chairs and sat down.
Guan Ke sat on the left side of Yuan Qian, while the five big men stood beside Yuan Qian, silent.
According to reason, the chairman should sit in the innermost position in order to show his status, but Yuan Qian didn't know whether he forgot it or did it on purpose, and he saw Guan Ke sitting in the guest's position, and he didn't mean to remind him.
The two of them sat down and began to talk like gossip.
Yuan Qian said: "You took a turn in my KTV, what do you think?"
Guan Ke said: "It's very good, it's splendid, and it will definitely attract a lot of guests." ”
Yuan Qian sighed and said: "In the past, there were not so many KTVs as there are now, and there are only two or three in the entire Pingle City, and there are not so many places for the rich to choose from singing and meeting places, so our KTV business is still prosperous." After the economy of Pingle City gradually developed, there were more and more places with bright lights, and there were probably hundreds of KTVs alone, and this is only a conservative estimate. With so many KTVs, you can imagine how fierce the competition is. With the signboard of the time-honored brand, over the years, we can only maintain normal expenses, and profits cannot be discussed. I've wanted to change jobs several times and never did, and you know why?"
Guan Ke cooperated appropriately: "Why?"
Yuan Qian crossed his hands, put them on the table, and said, "I've been working here for a long time, I don't know if it's thirteen or fourteen years, I can't remember it anymore. In this business, you will meet all kinds of people. Insults from guests, drunken madness are still minor troubles, but if there is a death, it is not a minor trouble. I worked hard all day long, trying to meet the requests of the guests, and appeasing the complaints of my subordinates, at first I felt that I couldn't get through it at all, but after a month, two months, and a year, I got used to this kind of work and life. ”
"Do you know what the pressure is on me and I haven't run away from it?"
Although Guan Ke had already guessed the answer, he still asked, "Why?"
Yuan Qian said: "Of course, one day, I can become the real owner of Red Heart KTV." Even if I don't become the owner, I will be satisfied if I give me a part of the shares. As he spoke, he suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and his voice suddenly became very high: "But I have been waiting for more than ten years, and what did I get in the end? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled to always be just a general manager. I've been adjusting guest conflicts for more than ten years, and I've had enough. Logically speaking, I have enough credit for me to take another step towards the top, right? But things are often not the same as you think, and the reality is always much more cruel than you think. ”
After Yuan Qian's excitement slowly calmed down, he slowly sat down and asked the guest: "I don't understand, what did you do for this KTV to become its owner?"
Guan Ke said calmly: "In fact, you are already the owner of this KTV, and I am just a nominal director. ”
Yuan Qian laughed twice and said, "Nominal director? Okay, I also want to be a director." I don't have to be busy until four or five o'clock in the morning, I don't have to listen to the complaints of customers, I don't have to listen to the complaints of my staff, these things are all done by other people, how comfortable and comfortable, I want to be in such a position, but I can't get it. If the owner of this KTV is referring to these bad things every day, then don't do it!"
Guan Ke understood that Yuan Qian's anger had been pent up in his heart for a long time, and if he said anything to him, he was afraid that he would be confronted more intensely, so Guan Ke said, "Then what do you need me to do?"
All the anger in front of Yuan suddenly disappeared, he lay back in his chair, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth: "Resign!"
It is absolutely impossible to resign, there is a big mountain of Boss Li on it, even if you give Guan Ke a hundred guts, he will not do such a thing. Besides, it seems that Yuan Qian will not live for a few days......
Guan Ke said: "I won't do it if I resign," As soon as these words came out, the five big men next to Yuan Qian began to rub their hands, and their eyes were fierce.
Guan Ke continued: "Please don't worry, listen to what I have to say. I need and only need the position of chairman, and I can do without the other things that come with this position. How did you manage Red Heart KTV before, and how do you still manage it now, as for the rights of the chairman, I will hand them all over to you, how about it?"
Yuan Qian was silent for a long time, and said, "How can you count just by saying it verbally?" The five big men next to him began to rub their hands again.
Guan Ke said: "I can write a letter of guarantee with my signature on it, and it will be effective wherever I want to put it." ”
Yuan's expressionless face suddenly bloomed into a smile. He smiled unusually amiably, as if he was a gentle and elegant scholar. He stood up, held out his right hand again across the table, and said, "Then we'll settle it." ”
Guan Ke also stood up, shook the hand handed out by Yuan Qian, and said, "Of course." ”
I don't know if it was already ready, but as soon as the two of them shook hands, a waitress walked in with a few contract materials and threw those black and white words in front of the customs guest.
The customs officer picked up the document and looked at it carefully. What is written in the contract is a clause on the voluntary waiver of rights and obligations of the customer. At the very end, he added a sentence that his title of director must be retained, and signed without saying a word, stamping a red handprint.
Yuan Qian couldn't help but admire the customs guest so happily. Although the red heart KTV is not as good as those chain large KTV companies, it is not as little as he said, so the people who give up are either fools or sages.
Judging from Guan Ke's cowardly expression at the beginning, Yuan Qian felt that the other party should not be close to the sage, so most likely this director had some problems in his brain.
After the customs guest signed and pressed his handprint, Yuan Qian's mood improved a lot, and the smile on his face was no longer fake, but became really happy. He frequently shook Guan Ke's hand and said: "Director Guan is really a hero, he knows the truth that he is willing to give up, and he can only get if he is willing to give up, and he will definitely be able to move forward in the future and ride the breeze to the sky." ”
Guan Ke withdrew his somewhat deformed hand, and said with a smile: "I don't want to rise to the top, I just want to live this life in peace." Before getting into the taxi, Guan Ke turned around meaningfully and said to Yuan Qian, who was standing at the door of the KTV: "Be careful on the road." After saying that, he got into the car, no longer caring about Yuan Qian's stunned and confused reaction.
