Making someone laugh continuously is a very insulting act.
But Chen Zhe couldn't care less about anything else. He had to correct Xiao Dingdong's bad habit. If she wanted to continue working here, she couldn't give people the impression of being miserable.
Although she was pitiful, society was also cruel. In order to manage this place well, Chen Zhe could not be too soft-hearted. He may not have noticed that his way of thinking had changed at some point.
If it were before, when he was still working, he would definitely have felt very sorry for Xiao Dingdong.
Xiao Dingdong's hands were trembling. She wanted to curse, she wanted to ask Chen Zhe why he was targeting her like this. He had already become like this, why was he still holding onto her?
But she also knew in her heart that Chen Zhe was not Hao Li; if he said he would fire her, he would definitely fire her.
In order not to lose her job, Xiao Dingdong forced a smile against her will.
"Your smile is awful. Your facial muscles are stiff; it's more terrifying than a wax figure. Smile again!"
Xiao Dingdong suppressed her temper and smiled again, but this time her smile was even uglier than the last.
"No way! Seeing that smile of yours gives me nightmares every night. Keep smiling!!"
"no!!!"
"No!!! It's like a ghost!! Keep going!!"
"no!!!"
...
An hour later, Xiao Dingdong finally broke down, large tears streaming down her face, and she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
Even mute people can cry, and they can cry out loud. Although their voices are different from normal people's voices and have a hoarse quality, this was the first time Chen Zhe had heard her make a sound since he came here. His subconscious reaction was not to feel sorry for her, but to feel that her crying was much better than her previous laughter.
After realizing his own thoughts, he was startled by his own actions. When did he become such a heartless person?
Although he was questioning himself, he still didn't comfort Xiao Dingdong, but sat there quietly watching her cry.
The crying lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually subsiding. Xiao Dingdong, who was squatting on the ground, was trembling with sobs. When she realized that no one was coming to comfort her, she felt that there was no need to continue crying.
She wiped away her tears, stood up, and turned to leave. She had had enough of this humiliation; the new manager didn't treat her like a human being at all.
As she walked to the door, she grew angrier and angrier. Despite her usually good temper, she couldn't take it anymore and turned to Chen Zhe, making several hand gestures.
When she gets fierce, she's not scary at all; in fact, she seems kind of cute.
Chen Zhe couldn't help but laugh. Although he didn't understand the meaning of her gestures, he did understand the one where she was giving him the middle finger.
Seeing Xiao Dingdong place her hand on the doorknob, he spoke up: "I was very satisfied with your crying just now. Keep up the good work tomorrow."
Xiao Dingdong was stunned for a moment, forgetting to wipe her runny nose.
"What? From what I'm saying, were you thinking of resigning? If so, hand over your resignation letter and I'll sign it!"
Xiao Dingdong quickly shook her head. She would never resign voluntarily, but didn't this guy just say that she could only leave if she smiled in a way that satisfied him?
"Go back first! Come back after get off work tomorrow, but you need to be mentally prepared. If you really can't take it, write me a resignation letter."
Xiao Dingdong gritted her teeth and then shook her head resolutely.
Don't even think about her resigning!
The door slammed shut with a bang, and the girl finally channeled her anger into that muffled thud.
...
The next day, on the evening of the second day, Xiao Dingdong found herself with a lot more people tagging her. Actually, it wasn't entirely unexpected; these people were being pushed to her by other colleagues.
She was somewhat apprehensive, but she completed the service dutifully. The customers neither expressed satisfaction nor dissatisfaction; it was like a routine matter. After the service was over, they voluntarily gave tips.
Tonight, Xiao Dingdong's score was finally not zero; she received over 50,000 yuan in tips. However, while she received more, her other colleagues received much less.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the total tip wasn't much; it was just transferred to her.
Tonight, Yuanyuan didn't get as much as last night, but she still received 100,000 yuan. She smiled coldly and arrogantly, looking down on everyone.
Including Chen Zhe, who was standing to the side.
"Manager Chen, Dingdong is much better tonight, isn't she?"
Hao Li wanted to say a good word for Xiao Dingdong and hope that Chen Zhe would give up the idea of firing her.
Chen Zhe nodded without saying anything, then turned and went back to his office.
Not long after, Xiao Dingdong came over by herself.
After opening the door, I saw Chen Zhe sitting there.
Before coming, she gave herself many mental suggestions, but seeing Chen Zhe's serious face, she was still a little scared.
"You should know that tonight's performance does not reflect your true ability."
Chen Zhe got straight to the point.
Xiao Dingdong nodded somewhat guiltily.
“I’m happy to see you all united, but you need to understand that this kind of charity is not permanent. If you don’t want to live off other people’s charity, then show your own strength and use your sincerity to retain customers.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dingdong raised her head.
No one had ever said these words to her before. People only looked at her with pity, sympathy, or disgust. No one ever treated her like an ordinary person. Originally, Chen Zhe had treated her so badly, she should have hated him. But she actually felt inexplicably at ease, and even a little happy. She didn't know what she was happy about, but she felt that the atmosphere was not so oppressive.
Chen Zhe lit a cigarette, moved the ashtray to his side, and said casually, "Alright, you can start laughing now!"
Another night of torture lasting several hours.
Around 5 a.m., Chen Zhe finally put her back. Xiao Dingdong felt like she couldn't even move her mouth. This manager was a torturous pervert.
On the third day of the competition, there were still some clients who came to us, but the tips were only 30,000 yuan, which was not as high as yesterday.
That evening, she went to Chen Zhe's company as usual to practice her smile.
The same thing happened on the fourth and fifth days.
She felt that this practice was ineffective because her tips and customers kept decreasing. She felt that this was just the perverted manager's weird fetish, purely for torturing people.
The sixth day has arrived.
When she came to Chen Zhe's office again, as usual, Chen Zhe kicked her out.
Xiao Dingdong was still a little confused, and Chen Zhe stood at the door watching her.
"Alright, you don't need to come anymore!"
Xiao Dingdong panicked, thinking that Chen Zhe was really going to fire her. She frantically changed her hand gestures, as fast as a Naruto character performing hand seals.
"Alright, stop gesturing. I don't understand. Haven't you noticed? Starting from the third day, those customers weren't referred by them anymore. In other words, starting from the third day, you were the ones who truly retained the customers and earned the tips through your own abilities."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dingdong froze. She recalled that there seemed to be several duplicate customers.
After realizing what was happening, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she was about to form a hand seal to ask a question.
Chen Zhe closed the door; "Alright, stop bothering me. You've kept me up for several nights. I'm planning to get a good night's sleep tonight!"
