Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning, the Journey
"Are the guests sitting down there?" Chen Youshan suddenly asked downward.
"No, we brought it in. Because the emptiness was so ugly, we invited a few people from the outside to decorate the faΓ§ade. β
"Not a single guest now?"
"No, the only two have just left."
"Do you want them for money?"
"Of course, sit here for four or five hours, a hundred."
Chen Youshan looked at the few people sitting sparsely and said, "Let them go, starting tomorrow, you don't need to invite them again." β
"Okay." Yu Yao didn't have any objections, and simply agreed, without even asking him if he had any good ideas.
The 'guest' was sent out, and there were only five people left in the bar, including Chen Youshan. Three men and two women. They are all twenty-five or sixteen years old.
"Everybody, come over here." Yu Yao clapped his palms and motioned for everyone to come over.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the new person in charge of the youth bar, and from today onwards, he will be in charge of all affairs in the bar."
Hearing this, several waiters were stunned, looking at this teenager who was much younger than them with some suspicion, and stopped talking.
"These guys are all long-time employees of the bar, and they've been here for five or six years." Yu Yao gestured to Chen Youshan and motioned for him to say a few words.
Chen Youshan didn't have stage fright, looked at a few people and said, "My name is Chen Youshan, and I will join the youth bar from today." I don't want to say anything about the scene, I don't want to say anything polite, I just want to work together with everyone to rejuvenate the youth bar, and I hope everyone will work together. β
"Do you have any good ideas?" A red-haired young man looked at him a little unkindly.
"Nope." Chen Youshan said: "But I believe there will be a way. Our biggest problem now is that there are people who come to make trouble, so the most important thing for us is to solve the troublemakers first, and only when we solve them can people dare to enter here. β
"How do you fix it?" The red-haired young man didn't know whether he was bullying him for being young or had any opinions, and his tone was very impulsive.
Yu Yao frowned and shouted, "He Changsheng, pay attention to your attitude. You have to be clear about who you're talking to right now. β
The red-haired young man named He Changsheng didn't dare to say anything more.
Chen Youshan smiled and said, "I haven't figured out how to solve it yet, but I believe there will be a way, it's just a matter of time." I just hope that everyone will cooperate with me when the time comes. I'll say the ugly things first, and if someone drops the chain in the back when I need manpower, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. β
Yu Yao frowned unconsciously, as if he felt that his words were a little inappropriate, but he didn't say anything.
"Are you a threat?" He Changsheng sneered, obviously not taking him seriously at all.
"No, it's advice, it's a request." Chen Youshan said very seriously: "I have the confidence to resurrect the youth bar, but I don't want anyone to pour cold water on me, and I don't want anyone to drag me back." β
He Changsheng sneered again and again, looking disapproving. The others also looked at him suspiciously, but they were very interested and didn't say much.
"Okay, everyone is gone, do your job." Seeing that everyone's first meeting didn't seem to be harmonious, Yu Yao hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Maybe you're too young, and they're a little resistant, so don't take it personally." After the people dispersed, Yu Yao explained for them.
"No, it won't." Chen Youshan looked at the bar without a single customer, "I don't have time to worry about them, but Brother Yu, I'll tell you the bottom first, if they have an opinion about me, I can accept it." But if you stumble me in other ways, I'm not welcome. Even if they are old employees, I will not be polite. You know, I spent a year gambling on this half year, and I don't want to waste my youth. β
"I know, I'll tell them later."
"When I was in elementary school, my teacher told me that you can't judge people by their appearance, and you can't just look at the surface. If they just dismiss me because of my youth, then they really don't have the eyesight, and it's not a wise choice to let them stay here. Chen Youshan stared at him and said, "What I need is complete obedience, because I don't have much time to play the game of conquest with them. β
Yu Yao said: "I understand! β
"I'll go out and have a look." Chen Youshan turned around and walked outside, giving them a space to discuss.
Yu Yao turned to the waiters and shouted, "You guys, come here." β
"Brother Yao, what the hell is going on? Was he really sent by the boss? Seeing that Chen Youshan was gone, He Changsheng felt indignant for Yu Yao, "What qualifications does he have to take your place?" β
Several others also chimed in: "Brother Yao, why don't we find a way to drive him away?" β
"Are you finished?" Yu Yao looked at the few of them coldly, "This is the first and last time I warn you, don't underestimate that young man, if he doesn't have a little ability, the boss won't look for him." Moreover, I really want to bring the youth bar back to the past, and I don't want you to do anything in secret. β
"But Brother Yao, are you really willing?" He Changsheng asked.
"Willing, why not? Look at what this bar looks like now, and who are we not willing to be? β
Several people fell silent.
"I'm telling you, the boss gave him a lot of power. Don't think that you are an old employee and have no fear, if he wants you to get out, I can't protect you. This boy is nowhere near as simple as you seem. You should have heard about the Bund One yesterday, right? β
"I heard about it, I heard that Zhao Tiancheng was cleaned up by a young man who didn't know where he came from," He Changsheng stopped abruptly in the middle ......of his words, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Yu Yao with some horror, "It can't be him, right?" β
Yu Yao sneered: "Who is he if it's not him?" β
Hearing this, several people were taken aback, and He Changsheng jumped up even more exaggeratedly, exclaiming: "Wow, Brother Yao, what is his origin?" β
"I don't know what the reason is, and you don't need to know, just know that he is not simple. Listen clearly, from now on, he will be whatever he says, and if you don't want to find another job, it's best not to offend his taboos. β
Several people froze in place, as if they had not yet recovered from the shocking news they had just heard.
Yu Yao didn't say anything more, and turned around and returned to the bar.
β¦β¦
Chen Youshan sat in a dark corner on the corner of the street, quietly looking at all kinds of people walking in front of him, and did not move for a long time.
There were so many things going on tonight that it made his mind a little confused, so much that he wondered if he was dreaming. So he needs to be quiet, he needs to sort out what happened tonight.
Bandit? The Shen family? This matter should be put aside for now, Shen Yaya should be a smart person, and after seeing her attitude, she should not tell the police about her help.
Zhao Tiancheng? The thought of the name made him feel a little uneasy. He couldn't understand what he meant by letting these bars not work for him, even now he was not afraid of the other party's retaliation, he said that the barefoot were not afraid of wearing shoes, he was now alone, and he was really not afraid of what the other party would use.
However, not being afraid now does not mean that you will not be afraid in the future. If he wants to gain a foothold in the capital, he can't be a loner all the time. What's more, through tonight's incident, he can be regarded as comprehending the other party's powerful energy. If it weren't for Liang Wanchuan's move, it's really hard to say whether he would be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
Zhao Tiancheng is mixed with officialdom, it is a very terrifying profession, as long as they are willing, they can kill people without a knife. Liang Wanchuan is a lesson from the past. The person he offended at the beginning should be the person who mixed with officialdom, and only that kind of person can make it difficult for him to turn over. He suddenly wondered if he had underestimated Zhao Tiancheng too much. Or is it too underestimated that the huge network of relationships in officialdom is underestimated.
He rubbed his brows with a little headache, and began to guess what move Zhao Tiancheng would make after knowing that he was in the youth bar, and guessed what kind of tricks he would use against himself. It's just that he doesn't know anything about Zhao Tiancheng at all, and naturally it is impossible to calculate his next step. So, he turned his mind to the youth bar business.
Half of the shares of the Youth Bar were very exciting, and he had already made up his mind to get his hands on it as much as he could. As he said earlier, such an opportunity does not come every day, and it may only be this once in his life, and he does not want to miss it. He wants to climb up, and this bar is his starting point and his springboard!
The evening breeze blew gently, and he cleared his mind a lot, thinking that the hotel should be closed at this time, so he got up and walked unhurriedly towards the youth hotel bar.
Today can be regarded as a mistake, not only to solve the work matter, but also to solve the problem of housing. He can be said to have no scruples.
Unlike youth bars, other bars are still full of people. But perhaps because of time, there were a lot more people on the streets than before, and the men and women who had had had enough of having fun began to leave the bars.
Chen Youshan blended in with the crowd and quickly returned to the deserted youth bar.
"It's not too early, let's all go back." Looking at the few people who had nothing to do, he directly asked them to go home. Liang Wanchuan has given him all the power of this bar, and he has nothing to scruple about.
I don't know if I know about his heroic deeds last night, seeing him again, several people are a little uncomfortable, one of the women said carefully: "However, the time has not yet come." β
"Anyway, it's idle, it's not too bad for this hour, let's go back first." Chen Youshan waved his hand, walked directly to a sofa in the center and sat down.
Several waiters were a little undecided, and subconsciously set their eyes on Yuyao.
"Let's all go back." Yu Yao walked out of the bar, sat down next to Chen Youshan, and asked, "Where do you live, do you want me to send you back?" β
Chen Youshan shook his head: "No, I'll live here." β
Yu Yao was taken aback: "Live here? What line is this? There isn't even a bed here. β
"It's okay, it's enough to have a sofa." Chen Youshan said: "You go back, don't worry about me." β
"Didn't you find a place to live?"
"I'm not going to look for it, I'll live here in the future, it's convenient." Chen Youshan said: "Don't persuade me anymore, I've already decided." β
Yu Yao glanced at him, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, got up and took two keys from the bar: "This is the door key and the warehouse key, you can keep one set." β
Chen Youshan took it.
"The lights are all here, this is my phone, if you have any questions, call me directly." Yu Yao also left after leaving a phone call.
Chen Youshan closed the door, found a comfortable position to lie on the sofa, and silently looked at the empty bar. All that was on my mind was what it was going to do to get it back on its feet. I don't know how long it took, but he fell asleep.
