The security guard who stopped the old couple at the door still looked at me nervously, and only stammered after a long time: "Boss Jiang...... Can I ...... Not to mention, I'm afraid of causing a misunderstanding between you...... Then I'm going to have a hard time......"

This is a clever little security guard, and he can see what's at stake. So, I made myself look less serious, and then said to him in a lighter tone: "Don't worry, it's just a difference between us on business philosophy, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"But...... However, the big leader said it...... You know we're going to get angry when we do that. Instead, he said to the old couple: "Uncle and aunt, why don't you come back tomorrow at noon, there are many fewer wedding dress shops that come here to take wedding photos, and you can take pictures comfortably, right?" ”

The two old men glanced at each other, with some disappointment in their eyes, and after they said "don't embarrass us", they supported each other, turned around and walked towards the road they had just come, but the taxi that sent them had already left...... I don't know if they will come back tomorrow at noon, but I do know that they want to take a few photos with sunset red in this most beautiful twilight to commemorate this life of never leaving, and how can I bear to watch them go away like this.

I said to the security guards, "You go and chase them back for me now, and then ask our Dream Tree Director of Photography to take a few pictures of them before driving them to the city...... I can act as if it never happened...... As for the big leader you are talking about, I will think that you are bragging, but it does not exist. ”

"Boss Jiang, this ......"

I softened my face and said to him: "The reason why our dream tree can achieve today's situation is that we rely on the reputation accumulated with sincerity, and occasionally accommodating is the embodiment of human touch, don't lose the most attractive character of the dream tree...... Go ahead, I'll help you stand on this shift. ”

With that, I took the key to control the telescopic door from the security guard's hand, and then nodded at him, motioning for him to hurry up.

The security guard saluted me and quickly chased after the old couple who had already walked away.

I looked at his back running in the sunset, and thought of the big leader in his mouth. In fact, I already have the answer in my mind. Because the only people who can be called big leaders by the employees are Jin Qiu and Liu Liu. And Yao Yu and Qiao Ye will never participate in management. But who of them is, I don't know for the time being.

……

More than a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the opening time of the "Tulip Hotel" in Nanjing is getting closer and closer, so I packed some light luggage this afternoon and planned to go back to Nanjing tomorrow.

At dusk, I sat in a bar with few people, drinking alone. A moment later, Yao Yu, who rarely comes over, also came to the bar, sat down across from me, and asked the waiter for a cocktail. Before he could speak, the lady's cigarette in his hand had already been lit.

I asked her, "What have you been up to lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen you come to the Dream Tree. ”

She took a puff of her cigarette and replied, "What can I do, just eat, drink and have fun every day." She said and smiled, and then said: "Think about it carefully, my life is really good enough, if I hadn't met your group of people, I would have been forced into a desperate situation with no way out by those who asked for debts, where can I live without pressure like now!." ”

I also smiled and replied: "The fact that we can gather together is actually equivalent to the integration of resources, because each of us has given full play to our own strengths and provided various resources that we have accumulated, so we will have such a good situation today...... We should all cherish it. ”

Yao Yu nodded, but took out a slip from his bag, and then said to me: "I've been a little tight recently, and I want to apply for 500,000 yuan in cash from the finance side, you can sign it...... I'll have to get someone else to sign later. ”

I looked at her a little surprised, and replied: "I remember that you only advanced 300,000 yuan in advance before the Chinese New Year, and you spent it so quickly?" ”

"I've always spent money like this, don't you know?"

The cash on the company's books was quite sufficient, so I didn't want to hurt everyone's harmony because of the money, so I didn't say any more, but took out a pen and signed my name on Yao Yu's application form.

Yao Yu has never been a woman who has much in common with me, and after a cocktail, she is ready to get up and leave. After she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, and then said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you surprised me, you have learned to hype yourself...... It seems that there is really nothing in this world that cannot be changed, including a person's character and perseverance. ”

"What do you say?"

Yao Yu gave me an expressionless look, then turned around and walked out the door. Confused, I asked the bartender who had been listening to us, "Do you know what she was talking about?" ”

The bartender looked at me in disbelief before replying, "You really don't know?" ”

"I wouldn't have asked you if I wanted to."

The bartender pulled out a magazine from under the bar and tossed it to me, saying, "Look at it, there's a story about you here, maybe something to do with this." ”

I opened this financial magazine, and there was a whole page written about me, most of which was related to my experience of founding the "Dream Tree", and a week ago, the story of the old couple coming to the Dream Tree to search for their dreams was also written in detail, and even accompanied by a photo of me being on duty for the security guards to recover them...... And called me the most affectionate and service-minded entrepreneur, but I was completely unaware of this, and I was already exposed to the public eye.

I'm inexplicably annoyed! Then he quickly targeted Liu Liu, because Jin Qiu had been staying abroad during this time, so this matter must have been done by Liu Liu. And these have long been hinted, for more than a year, Liu Liu has become a fan of Jinqiu, and has maintained the same business philosophy as Jinqiu.

……

I made a phone call to Liu Liu, and after learning that he was talking about advertising business at a media company, I immediately went to the media company with the financial magazine, and then sat in the car with some restraint and waited for him to go downstairs.

After about twenty minutes, Liu Liu walked out of the office building with his briefcase, and now he had already cut off his trademark long hair, and he rarely touched the guitar.

I don't know if this change is good or bad for him, but in addition to not playing music, he doesn't even drink less, and he doesn't even touch the gambling he used to be passionate about.

I opened the car door and walked over to him, then slapped the magazine on him and asked, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" …… When such an article is reported, do you have to ask my opinion first? ”

Liu Liu picked up the magazine and replied: "If I told you in advance, you would definitely not agree to publish it...... But we all agree that the development of Dream Tree to this point needs a spiritual leader and spokesperson, just like when it comes to Taobao, everyone will think of Jack Ma. ”

"You guys ****** disrespectful to my **, this kind of show makes me feel disgusting!"

Liu Liu was not angry, he replied: "I admit that I don't respect your ** by doing this, but you say it's a show, then I have no way to agree, isn't everything written in this article true?" …… I'm just putting it in the public eye. Jiang Qiao, you should look at this matter from another angle...... We are sacrificing ourselves to hold you to a central position, otherwise why should we shape you as the façade of a dream tree...... So, can this be left like this? ”

"In the past? And then it's up to you to continue this boring, unbounded hype? …… Liu Liu, I warn you, if you continue to do this, I will not rule out the use of legal means to protect your legitimate rights and interests. ”

My words immediately made Liu Liu's face sink, and he whispered, "Jiang Qiao, are you talking too heavy...... Each of us is a brother who founded the Dream Tree with you, and you even said that you want to use legal means to defend our rights...... It's so chilling! ”

I was not swayed by Liu Liu's words, and I said, "If you really regard me as a brother, you should understand what I want?" …… I'd love to ask you, is it true that the Dream Tree is so dissatisfying to you that you have to make it grow in such a radical way? ”

My attitude finally angered Liu Liu, and he also replied in a very serious tone: "Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared...... In addition, I also want to tell you that we will definitely win the right to hold Xiao Ai's first solo concert, because we have already contacted Xiao Ai's company in Taiwan through Qin Miao's media company, as long as they are willing to hold the first concert in the dream tree, and other artists of their company will come to the mainland to develop in the future, we can share our media resources with them...... I made it clear to you that if their company wants to come to the mainland to make money, they can't refuse these resources no matter what. Even if Xiao Ai has a personality, it is impossible for her to confront her company when she first debuts...... So she can't run away when she comes to Dream Tree to hold a concert! ”

I was completely angry, pointed at Liu Liu and said angrily: "One by one, you just treat me as a puppet, and you keep shouting to respect my right to know, but look at these things you are doing now, which one of them let me know?" …… If you continue to be so unscrupulous, then everyone should go to the gang......"

After I finished speaking, I didn't give Liu Liu a chance to speak, turned around and walked towards my car, and then drove to the Shanghai Theater Academy where Yang Qu was located.

I don't want to wait until tomorrow to go back to Nanjing, and leaving now is the best option...... I was afraid that I would do something uncalm if I stayed in Shanghai like this, and only by staying away from Liu Liu and others could I calm myself down, and then think about what had happened recently.

I finally believe it now, there is no monolithic team in this world, and after a long time, there will definitely be problems, and Xiao Ai's solo singing is just a fuse at best!

……

It was already dark, I drove Yang Qu to the direction of Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, she stared at me for a while, looked left and right, and then asked me: "Brother, why do you always have a gloomy expression, looking weird and scary!" ”

I had no words and kept my focus on the road ahead.

Yang Qu said again: "Are you unhappy because of the dream tree?" ”

I said "um" and didn't deny it.

Yang Qu nodded, changed his sitting position, and then said to me: "Actually, I have already seen a little sign of it, their gang is a little excluded from you, and they dislike you for being too idealistic and humane. ”

I finally turned my head to look at Yang Qu and asked, "Do you think this is bad?" ”

"Okay, how can it be bad, they don't look at it, so many customers trust the Dream Tree brand because of who ......" said, Yang Qu changed his serious expression again, and continued: "Brother, if you are really unhappy in Dream Tree, then go back to Nanjing...... It just so happened that our mother's hotel also opened on Tulip Road. No matter how successful the Dream Tree is, it can only be regarded as a small ant compared to the Tulip Hotel! …… Our family has a big business, so we can't fight with their gang of mercenary merchants......! ”

I looked at her and didn't want to talk to her, because she said something like this, either for some purpose, or because she didn't understand my dedication to the Dream Tree, how could I give up on the Dream Tree so easily! But Yang Qu was still chattering......

I finally couldn't take it anymore, pulled the car aside, and asked her, "Do you really want me to leave Shanghai?" ”

"What's wrong with leaving Shanghai! …… In Nanjing, you have an old house in Lane 24 that is almost exactly the same as the one you used to live in, but does Shanghai have one? …… If you are willing to go to the hotel to get a half-job, you can live in your favorite place every day...... And the last time I went back to Nanjing, didn't you take me to eat that Lao Wang wonton, don't mention your happy look, say that you have eaten all over China's wontons, and Lao Wang's wontons are the best, but there is no one in Shanghai, right? …… So your roots are in Nanjing, there is nothing wrong with coming back, and you have already proven yourself in Shanghai, and you didn't come back from defeat, I'm afraid the neighbors will have to look at you differently! ”

I don't know why, I was moved by these words that were obviously deceitful, but I still didn't plan to go back to Nanjing, because I was obsessed with the "dream tree", and I wouldn't watch the "dream tree" become a tool to satisfy most people's selfish desires!
