Chapter 40: The Bar Manager

I finally stayed up until I got off work in the afternoon, and I didn't even bother to eat the free dinner provided by the company.

Take a taxi and go straight to the hangover bar, the bar is not yet available, Xiang Dong sits in front of the bar and tells the waiter to prepare for business.

Seeing me come in and beckoning to me, I walked over to him and sat down on a barstool.

Xiangdong threw me a cigarette and a can of beer before he said, "You kid looks like you're yelling, what's wrong?" ”

"Didn't I tell you this morning, about your recruitment of a bar manager!" I took a puff of my cigarette and said.

"What? Do you have any high opinion on this? ”

"I was trying to ask why you suddenly want to hire a bar manager, who looks like a chicken thief? Aren't you taking care of it well? "I'm a little curious about that.

Xiang Dong suddenly looked around, and his expression became mysterious, and he said, "I won't tell you that I'm going to be a father!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood, and it seemed that this was the only thing that was more important to him than the bar, and I immediately became happy for him. Suddenly, I remembered something and asked him, "Xiaotong is pregnant?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiang Dongliandao, his face involuntarily showed a happy look.

"Didn't the doctor say that your survival rate is low, and the odds of becoming a father are comparable to five million? You're not going to be a daddy, are you? Seeing his pride, I deliberately teased him with his secret, which few people knew.

"Go, go, what's like to be a father, the doctor said that the survival rate is low, but he didn't say that the chance is zero. Let me tell you, Xiaotong is a dead heart to me, you can envy it, it's no wonder that your virtue will be abandoned by women. "Turning back to the east.

"Okay, won't I just joke with you, let me ask you, do you really plan to recruit this manager?" I'm back to business.

"Of course, I'm finally going to be a father, I have to take good care of Xiaotong, and I can't let her have any accidents until she gives birth smoothly, you know that this may be the only chance to be a father in my life." Xiang Dong's expression became serious.

I know what he said is the truth, he and Li Xiaotong have been together for more than two years and have always wanted to have a child, but they have not succeeded, and they went to the hospital for examination a few months ago to find out that it was a congenital problem in his body, and the chance of pregnancy is very small.

I didn't expect such a small chance to be really bumped into by him, and it's no wonder that he even had to hand over the bar to someone else to take care of himself and serve his wife.

"In that case, you can go back and take good care of Xiaotong, brother, I'm really happy for you. Don't recruit the bar manager, if you don't worry about me, I'll watch it for you! "I finally got my thoughts out on what I'd been thinking about for a day.

Xiang Dong looked a little surprised, and said: "I'm naturally relieved to hand it over to you, but you still have to go to work, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, you know that the bars don't close until two or three o'clock in the morning, so you don't have any time to rest at all." ”

He thought for a moment and then said, "No, no, it's not a day or two, and this will drag your body down in the long run!" He said with some firmness in his tone.

I knew he was telling the truth, he was really thinking about me, but he couldn't understand how much I needed the job.

Immediately said: "Brother knows that you are thinking about me, you can rest assured, it's okay!" You know I'm just an assistant now, an idle job. ”

"And you know my habits, even if I don't manage the bar for you, I basically go to bed when the bar is closed! So, my role as a manager has no conflict with me working during the day, so you don't have to worry! ”

Xiang Dong looked at my face for a while before saying, "Old Wei, tell me the truth, did you come to work part-time because you owed your boss the 120,000 yuan?" ”

I sighed and told him the truth about Mu Xichun's deduction of my salary to pay off my debts.

"I wanted to pay off my money quickly and find another way, so I wanted to find a part-time job. I don't just happen to be your hiring manager, I think I'm a good fit for the job! ”

“……”

Xiang Dong just wanted to say something, but I stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Don't say anything if you borrow money, I really don't want to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, this is also a pressure on me, do you understand!" If my brother really wants to help me, he will appoint me as the manager of this bar, and that's what I need most now. ”

Xiang Dong fell silent again, and after smoking the cigarette in his hand in silence, he looked back at me and sighed and said, "Okay, since you have said so, what else can I say, whatever you want." ”

"I'll replace you every once in a while, but let's say okay, if you feel tired, you must stop in moderation, I won't say anything about many brothers, you can do it yourself."

I nodded and didn't speak, but I was a little grateful that he understood my inner thoughts and didn't impose on me what I didn't want in the name of a friend. He is free and easy by nature, but he is also a delicate person.

"But let's talk about it first, I won't give you a higher salary just because you're my friend, just 6,000 plus two percentage points as stated in the job advertisement, do you think there's a problem?" Xiang Dong said as if he remembered something.

I smiled and took a sip of my beer and said, "Okay, as you say, who made you the boss!" But you have to pay your salary on time, or I'll go to the labor bureau and sue you!" ”

Xiang Dong looked back at me, and I looked at him for a moment and laughed in unison.

Xiang Dong slapped a few times and beckoned several waiters who were making preparations to come over, and then ceremoniously introduced me to everyone and said: "This is my good brother, and I will be the manager of our bar in the future, I hope everyone will take care of our bar with Manager Wei as before in the future!" ”

After Xiang Dong's words, seven or eight waiters applauded together and said in unison: "Hello Manager Wei!" ”

I have never experienced such a formation, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while, so I hurriedly said: "You don't have to be so polite, please take care of me in the future." ”

A few little girls giggled when they saw that I looked a little uncomfortable, which made me feel even more embarrassed.

Xiang Dong glanced at me and then looked at a few girls and quipped: "My brother has just been dumped by a woman recently, and now he is a bachelor, maybe his psychology is still distorted, and he is an extremely dangerous terrorist emotionally, you little girls should be careful not to fall into his clutches!" ”

I glared at Xiang Dong, I didn't expect this thing to have such a bad teammate, and he would expose my shortcomings in front of everyone. But it eased my embarrassment.

A little girl said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Manager Wei would be dumped by a woman if he was so handsome, did Manager Wei do something sorry for others first!" ”

The little girl's words made me stunned, and I couldn't help but think of the scene of breaking up with Lin Wei, which was really like what she said.

I just wanted to say something to deal with, but I didn't expect to be robbed by Xiang Dong again: "Oh, Xiaoli, you're really right, he was caught and raped in bed by his girlfriend, hahaha!" After saying that, he laughed regardless of the image of the boss.

A few little girls widened their eyes and asked curiously, "Really?" It seems that Manager Wei is still a big carrot, no wonder he was dumped by his girlfriend! ”

At this moment, I really want to kick the east hard, so that I will be stunned for how to manage this group of girls in the future. I didn't know what to say, so I just smiled awkwardly.

Xiang Dong waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to work, and everyone laughed and dispersed.

I turned around and glared at Xiang Dong fiercely and said, "Are you my friend, why do you actually say my ugly things in front of employees, do you know that it is difficult for leaders to establish prestige if they have no sense of mystery in front of employees?" ”

"Hehe, forget it, I'm sorry for you, but you don't need to establish any prestige in front of them, these people are carefully selected by me, all of them are quick and diligent, and you don't need to manage it at all."

"You just need to sit here to deal with some emergencies and check the accounts, as for the wine and drinks, the wine merchants will send them at a fixed time, and you can ask someone to count them when the time comes." Xiang Dong explained to me with a smile.

I nodded, thinking to myself that this bar manager really doesn't have a sense of existence, and it seems that the future work will probably be easy.

That's how I, the bar manager, officially took up my post this night.

As the days passed, the bar gradually became more and more popular, and at about 8 o'clock in the evening, the bar was on the scene, and the atmosphere of the bar set off wave after wave of climaxes with the rhythm of the singers.

While Xiang Dong was busy, he took advantage of his leisure time to tell me about the possible situation and solutions in the bar.

In fact, I don't know that it's nothing more than the hooliganism of some drunkards who drink too much and make trouble or harass female customers, and then some lawbreakers fish in the water and sell some illegal drugs in bars.

These things have been commonplace in my years of clubbing, and they are not a hassle to deal with, and they don't happen very often.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the morning that the bar finally sent off the last customer, and the first day as a bar manager finally came to an end.

To be honest, although the work is not very tiring, being in a stressful state for a long time is quite exhausting, which can be seen from the waiter's expression.

At this moment, they no longer have the same look as when they first started working, and their expressions have become a little sluggish or cleaning or cleaning utensils. After I cleaned the bar with them, they went their separate ways.

Xiang Dong also waved his hand at me and said, "I'm going back, you can rest early." The bar will be handed over to you in the future, and you will call me if there is anything. ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

I locked the door of the bar, went back to the warehouse, washed up briefly, and lay on the bed tiredly, looking at the high ceiling, I thought to myself that the future days would be a little hard, closed my eyes for a while, and fell asleep deeply.
