Wang Qianqian's look clearly indicates a misunderstanding.
Chen Zhe was about to explain when Xu Xiaomei urged him from the front, "Qianqian, don't keep the guests waiting too long."
"Okay!"
Wang Qianqian left carrying her small suitcase, turning back every three steps. The strange and questioning look in her eyes was unbearable for Chen Zhe.
"Never mind, I'll explain it to her later."
Chen Zhe returned to the waiting area, where several colleagues were chatting.
"Have you heard? The new manager has arrived."
"What? Does that mean Sister Mei won't be coming back?"
"That must be the case, otherwise they wouldn't have changed the person."
"What is it all for? Sister Mei did a great job."
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
"By the way, Chen Zhe, do you know why Sister Mei left?"
Seeing Chen Zhe approach, Zhang Xiaoqi asked.
Zhang Xiaoqi was one of the shorter ones in the group, standing at only 1.66 meters tall.
She has big, round eyes, thin lips, a high nose, naturally curly hair, and a light hair color. Her features have a touch of Western Regions style. She has a good body proportion. Although she is not as tall as others, her legs are not shorter than others.
She started working here before finishing university, and she's the youngest among them, only 20 years old this year.
Zhang Xiaoqi is young, but she's very gossipy and always at the forefront of gossip.
She was the one who just mentioned the new manager.
"I...I don't know either." Chen Zhe put down his suitcase and sat down to the side.
Chen Zhe actually knew this, but Mei Xiaoting told him that this matter should not be told to outsiders, and that it should be treated as a normal work handover.
"Sigh, although Sister Mei can be a bit fierce at times, I think she's a pretty good person. When my brother came to ask me for money before, she was the one who helped me fend him off."
Zhang Xiaoqi had mentioned this matter many times before. Her brother was more than ten years older than her and had probably picked up a gambling addiction from some bad friends. He would come to Zhang Xiaoqi every few days to ask for money.
Zhang Xiaoqi was also deeply distressed by this. Although her salary was relatively high, how could she possibly fill such a bottomless pit as gambling?
Once, when Zhang Xiaoqi's brother came to ask her for money, Mei Xiaoting bumped into him. Mei Xiaoting immediately gave him a dressing down, scolding him so badly that he couldn't even lift his head. After that, her brother never came to bother her again.
Other female colleagues also deeply felt the same way about this.
"Shall we go see Sister Hu? And ask her to transfer Sister Mei back?" Zhang Xiaoqi suggested.
"Sure, when are we going?"
Count me in!
"..."
"Chen Zhe, do you want to participate?"
Chen Zhe shook his head; "I'm not going."
Zhang Xiaoqi was a little angry; "Chen Zhe, Sister Mei treated you quite well before, but now that she's been transferred, why haven't you said a word?"
"Yes, Chen Zhe, what you're doing is not fair."
"Fine, if he's not going, we'll go!"
Zhang Xiaoqi pouted, clearly showing some emotion.
"If you don't want to lose your jobs, then go ahead!"
Chen Zhe said slowly.
Why do you say that?
The girls asked.
"It's very simple. Since Sister Hu has already transferred the people over, she's unlikely to change her mind. If she changes her mind easily, what will happen to the new manager? Changing orders frequently is a big no-no. Sister Hu won't make that mistake. If you go and make a scene, she might fire you in a fit of anger."
Upon hearing this, the girls all shut up.
Yes, no one can change Sister Hu's decision.
"Look at the group chat!"
A female colleague exclaimed.
Others picked up their phones after hearing the sound.
"Chen Zhe, look! You've been punished!"
"Huh? Punishment?"
Chen Zhe also turned on his phone.
That was their work group chat, and the person who sent the message was Xu Xiaomei.
Xu Xiaomei is currently an assistant manager.
[Technician No. 09, Chen Zhe, received one complaint, bringing the total to one per month. Three days' wages plus performance bonus will be deducted. Special note: Any technician receiving three or more complaints in a month will be dismissed and will not be rehired. Anyone arguing with a customer will be dismissed on the spot and have their monthly salary deducted.]
There is another document table below.
Upon opening the link, all the technicians on the fifth floor had their names listed. Besides Chen Zhe, there were other people who had also filed a complaint, including Zhang Xiaoqi.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this message.
Just then, Xu Xiaomei walked over.
Zhang Xiaoqi immediately came over and asked, "Sister Xiaomei, what's the deal with this message?"
When she asked the question, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Xiaomei, including Chen Zhe.
Xu Xiaomei sighed softly; "The new manager asked me to send this out."
"Huh? How can this be? Three complaints and he gets fired? There wasn't such a rule before!"
"I don't know either; I was only notified at the last minute."
"No! I need to go find that manager!"
Zhang Xiaoqi was a little angry.
Xu Xiaomei grabbed her.
"I advise you not to go there. She's talking to Sister Hu right now."
Zhang Xiaoqi was very anxious; "Sister Xiaomei, you know that my complaint that time was not my fault at all. I provided excellent service throughout the entire process, and they didn't show any dissatisfaction on their faces. I don't know who was so upset as to complain about me?"
"Xiaoqi, don't be anxious, it hasn't been three times yet."
Xu Xiaomei tried to persuade her.
"How can I not be anxious? I don't even know why I was complained about. Who knows when the next one will be? Maybe some customer will complain about me because they don't like me. I won't even know how I lost my job."
Like Zhang Xiaoqi, the others were also very unhappy.
Chen Zhe was also a little worried, but he was more stable than the others. At least he knew why he was being complained about; it must be because of the guest in room 07.
Honestly, it wasn't his fault. The club had rules against having any relationship with guests, and he was just following those rules. If he was still complained about for that, it was really a bit harsh.
After a while, several female colleagues also came back from their shifts.
After they took the phones, they were stunned. Some breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they hadn't been complained about, but others almost fainted when they saw that they had been complained about twice.
Two people were complained about twice.
One is Wang Qianqian.
One is Zhou Yutong.
Wang Qianqian was almost fired before, and before she could even relax, she encountered this regulation again. She almost couldn't catch her breath, and her legs felt weak.
With red eyes, he looked at Xu Xiaomei; "Xiaomei, why is this happening?"
Xu Xiaomei was in a dilemma.
Although this wasn't her intention, she was in charge of sending the messages, and she always felt she had let them down.
"Don't worry too much about it. Think more positively and just focus on your work in the future, and everything will be fine."
"How could I possibly do well? Three times that month? I've already done it twice!"
The speaker was Zhou Yutong.
Like Wang Qianqian, she was just one complaint away from being fired.
It was like a sharp blade hanging over their heads; the feeling that it could fall at any moment was terrifying.
“I already said we’d go find Sister Hu together, but you wouldn’t listen to me!” Zhang Xiaoqi said.
"Xiaoqi, I'll go with you!"
Zhou Yutong said.
"Are you going or not?" She turned to look at the group of people.
Wang Qianqian nodded.
The others hesitated. They wanted to go, but they were afraid of Sister Hu. Besides, some of them hadn't been complained about yet, so they weren't as nervous as Zhang Xiaoqi and Zhou Yutong.
"Fine, none of you are going, right? Okay! We'll go!"
Zhang Xiaoqi, Zhou Yutong, and Wang Qianqian ignored Xu Xiaomei's attempts to stop them and resolutely headed towards the manager's office.
Chen Zhe watched their retreating figures, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them.
...
Zhang Xiaoqi knocked on the manager's office door.
"Come in!"
A cool, clear female voice rang out.
The group of people opened the door and went inside.
Two women were sitting on the sofa inside. One was Hu Ling, and the other was probably the manager who had just arrived that day.
Chen Zhe observed the new manager. She had a cold and aloof appearance and was wearing a gray office uniform. She was sitting on the sofa and it was hard to tell her height, but judging from her shoulders, she should be about the same height as Hu Ling.
She looked to be around 30 years old. She crossed her arms, crossed her left leg over her right, and looked at them coldly.
"It's working hours now, what are you doing here?"
"Sister Hu, I've come to see you!"
Zhang Xiaoqi didn't look at the manager, but looked directly at Hu Ling.
Hu Ling didn't say anything, but poured herself a cup of tea.
Seeing that Hu Ling remained silent, Zhang Xiaoqi became anxious. "Sister Hu, this is not fair. The new regulations are unfair. We request that you transfer Sister Mei back."
Hu Ling merely glanced at her, but remained silent.
After seeing Hu Ling's gaze, Chen Zhe had a bad feeling; today was definitely not a good time to come and talk.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaoqi.
"Xiaoqi, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Xiaoqi broke free from his hand; "I didn't say anything wrong. Do you think this is fair? Being fired after three complaints, without even knowing the reason for the complaints? For example, that time, I still don't know who complained about me!"
"Xiaoqi is right, Sister Hu, we can't do it this way. If customers complain all the time, how can we do our job?"
Zhou Yutong echoed this.
Chen Zhe rubbed his forehead; he shouldn't have come with these people.
Hu Ling glanced sideways at Zhou Yutong.
Are you teaching me how to do things?
Zhou Yutong felt scared after being looked at by Hu Ling.
"No, Sister Hu, I just feel..."
"You're not getting paid this month. Do you have any complaints?"
When Zhou Yutong heard that she wouldn't receive any salary this month, she almost jumped up.
Chen Zhe quickly grabbed her.
He gripped her hand tightly, signaling him to stop talking.
Hu Ling's words startled everyone, and no one dared to speak again.
"Zhang Xiaoqi, why didn't you answer the manager's question just now?"
Hu Ling squinted and asked.
Hu Ling's pressure was so intense that Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't utter a single word for a long time, her mouth agape.
It was Chen Zhe who spoke up.
"I'm sorry, Sister Hu, I'm sorry, Manager. Xiaoqi and Yutong were a bit impulsive just now because they both like Sister Mei very much and may not be able to accept it right away."
After Chen Zhe finished speaking, the new manager raised an eyebrow.
Hu Ling tapped her fingers on the table, as if she was thinking about something.
Chen Zhe knew that his words would upset the two people, especially the new manager. Mentioning the previous manager in front of her was clearly disrespectful.
But Chen Zhe was gambling. He was betting that Hu Ling would give Mei Xiaoting face. But seeing Hu Ling hesitate, Chen Zhe was a little unsure. Would she give it to her?
