Fearing she would lose her job, Yuanyuan finally behaved herself. She gave some of the gifts that customers had given her to some of her colleagues in an attempt to improve their relationships. She was no longer arrogant and complacent, especially towards Hao Li, to whom she was now much more respectful than before.
Fear of the future made her anxious, and she wanted to get out of the water early, since no one wants to be someone who serves others for the rest of their life.
Working as a technician at Linglong Club, especially on the fifth floor, sometimes feels like being a palace maid in ancient times. How should I position myself when lighting a customer's cigarette? How loud should I control my voice when I speak? I also have to pay attention to my diet, partly to maintain my figure and make myself as good as a supermodel on the runway, and partly to consider the feelings of the customers.
For example, they are not allowed to eat strong-flavored snail rice noodles, some street food with strong flavors, garlic, onions, or any food that can cause bad breath or flatulence. They have special classes in makeup, etiquette, and dance, and even bathing has a special procedure.
How long should you brush your teeth? How long should you shower? How long should you wash which part of your body? These are all strictly regulated. Their bodies must maintain a light and elegant fragrance. If butterflies and bees don't land on them while they're standing among flowers, they're considered unqualified.
The requirements of each branch of Linglong Club are slightly different. For example, in the East District, they have very strict requirements for talent, demeanor, and obedience. They dress themselves up like young ladies, and the guests are like their empress dowagers.
Simply put, the people serving these high-status guests cannot be of low status; they must be women with exceptional looks, talents, demeanor, etiquette, and temperament.
Guests who come here need a sense of identity. When a person's wealth accumulates to a certain level, they need this sense of ritual to show their dignity.
The Linglong Club in the North District has extremely strict requirements for the art of speaking, as well as body language and tone of voice.
Male customers are different from female customers.
Female clients demand status and prestige.
Male customers are likely drawn to the product by its appearance.
However, the club cannot make this feeling too explicit. It's not that Hu Ling is afraid, but that she takes the high-end route. What she wants to do is to be sexy but not lewd. Therefore, she attaches great importance to the way the technicians speak. People who can't speak well will find it difficult to survive in Linglong Club.
Xiao Dingdong was able to get in here, and even become the technician with the highest tips.
This was a very shocking thing for everyone, including Wu Yuanyuan.
Although she was very unwilling, Wu Yuanyuan still went to ask Chen Zhe for advice after being encouraged by Hao Li.
...
Chen Zhe's office.
Wu Yuanyuan, who had already finished get off work, stood there with a slightly embarrassed expression. After all, the two had just had an argument, and she had even said she wanted to resign. When facing Chen Zhe again, she felt inferior.
"Manager Chen, I apologize for my previous attitude. I hope you can forgive me for my mistake. I have deeply realized my error."
Chen Zhe nodded.
"Regarding your matter, I've already given Sister Li face and made concessions. I won't fire you, but you need to be punished for talking back to your superior. You'll have to contribute your tips next month and share them equally with your colleagues. Do you accept this punishment?"
Wu Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
I accept.
"Hmm, your attitude was pretty good this time. Do you know why you were punished like this?"
"Because I talked back to my boss and was disrespectful to my superiors."
"That's part of the reason, but the bigger reason is that I'm thinking of you."
Wu Yuanyuan looked up, somewhat puzzled.
When I was fined for not giving a tip, the other party actually said it was for my own good?
pUA?
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm trying to fool you?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Hehe, I know what you're thinking. It's normal to have these thoughts, but I'm really doing this for your own good. You're very smart, smarter than most of them, but it's precisely because you're too smart that you often get into trouble. There's a saying that goes, 'The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind.' Your income is two or three times that of your colleagues, and you usually look down on them. Over time, you'll definitely be isolated by them."
Wu Yuanyuan nodded. She could feel the isolation. Sometimes when she went shopping, she wanted to ask someone to go with her, but no one was willing to walk with her. When they were chatting, they had their own little groups, but when she walked over, they would disperse.
"You're actually very suitable for management, even more so than Sister Li!"
These words made Wu Yuanyuan's pupils dilate; she could hardly believe it.
"No, no, no, I'm not as good as Sister Li..."
Sister Li was my benefactor who saved my job, how could I be better than her?
"Don't be nervous. What we're talking about today is my honest evaluation of you, and I won't say this to Sister Li."
Do you know why Sister Li can only be an assistant manager and not a manager?
They had wondered about this before. The previous manager had left, and it should have been Sister Li's turn, but unexpectedly, another manager was parachuted in.
"I have no idea……"
"That's because Sister Li isn't smart enough, or rather, she only has petty cleverness, not true wisdom. Her petty cleverness means she only thinks about her own salary and commission, and only tries to maintain the status quo, instead of thinking about expanding the market. That's why I came here."
"I...I'm actually quite stupid too."
"Hehe, you're not stupid. The fact that you were able to put aside your previous prejudices and come to me so quickly shows that you have a desire to improve. The fact that you were able to become the top salesperson here and maintain that position for so long is enough to prove that you are excellent. I want to train you, and I don't really want to let you go. Do you understand that?"
Wu Yuanyuan was stunned.
She hadn't expected Manager Chen to think this way, which meant he valued her highly?
"I...I thought Manager Chen wanted to promote Xiao Dingdong..."
"No, no, no, Xiao Dingdong can't compare to you. Xiao Dingdong has a congenital defect, while you have the figure, appearance, and eloquence that I value. If you do better in the future, I will consider recommending you to the higher-ups. Don't be fooled by the fact that our managers' salaries aren't much different from yours. We have generous year-end bonuses, and we have no age limit. As technicians, you can only work until you're 26 or 27 at most, or you'll have to step down. Every wave of newcomers is a challenge for you. But managers are different. You can work until you're 40 or 50. I heard that one of the managers in the South District owns several companies and has a fortune of over 100 million."
Wu Yuanyuan was taken aback after hearing this.
She had previously thought that the manager's salary was about the same as hers, and there wasn't much difference between them. But after hearing what Chen Zhe said, she realized that she had been too naive. She longed for the future that Chen Zhe described even more.
Her eyes became intense.
"Manager Chen, I will definitely listen to you from now on!"
"Yes, I look forward to your performance. Remember, you must remain humble and composed!"
"Yes, I will!"
Wu Yuanyuan left with high hopes.
After the door closed, Chen Zhe smiled.
"Young people are so easy to fool, haha."
