Soon, Brother Qiang arrived at the hotel's private room.
After being taught a lesson by Liu Xiaoyuan twice, Qiang Ge was completely terrified and kept calling him "Big Brother," making Liu Xiaoyuan a little embarrassed.
Afterwards, the hotel staff brought out all the dishes one after another. Looking at the large table of dishes, which looked and smelled delicious, Liu Xiaoyuan felt hungry even though he had just eaten breakfast not long ago.
"Why are you bringing orange juice with pulp? Bring up the hotel's best white and red wines." Brother Qiang said angrily when he saw the waiter bringing up the orange juice with pulp.
Upon hearing this, the man with the buzz cut said to Brother Qiang, "Brother Qiang, this is Big Brother's request. Big Brother wants to drink orange juice with pulp."
When Qiang Ge learned that this was Liu Xiaoyuan's request, he was so frightened that he immediately asked the waiter to put the orange juice with pulp on the table.
The man with the buzz cut stood up, picked up the orange juice with pulp, shook it, opened the lid, walked to Liu Xiaoyuan's side, poured a glass of orange juice into the tall glass in front of Liu Xiaoyuan first, then poured one into Liu Longhui's glass, and finally poured one for Qiang Ge.
Liu Longhui had never received such treatment before, so he was naturally flattered and surprised.
At the dinner table, Qiang Ge and the others didn't dare to touch their chopsticks until Liu Xiaoyuan started eating. Finally, at Liu Xiaoyuan's urging, everyone started eating.
"Come on, big brother, let me toast you. From now on, you're our big brother." Brother Qiang stood up, raised his glass, and toasted Liu Xiaoyuan.
The man with the buzz cut quickly stood up and said, "Brother, I'd like to toast you too!"
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't stand on ceremony and raised his glass to toast everyone.
Halfway through the meal, Qiang suddenly asked, "Brother, where are you working now?"
Qiang asked this question because he found it unbelievable that Liu Xiaoyuan was selling chili peppers on the street.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I am currently unemployed and staying at home. I might continue looking for work in the provincial capital in a few days."
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Qiang Ge and asked, "Why are you asking this? Do you have a good job to recommend to me?"
Liu Xiaoyuan's words were half-joking and half-serious, because people like Brother Qiang who lived in the town knew some influential people who might actually be able to help him.
Brother Qiang immediately said, "Brother, if you don't mind, come work at Huaqiang Hotel."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Qiang Ge and said, "Do you want me to wash the dishes or serve them?"
Qiang said, "Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare let you wash dishes, brother. If you're willing, you can be the general manager of Huaqiang Hotel from now on."
What? General Manager? Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Brother Qiang. The expression on his face didn't seem like he was lying, but he still felt it wasn't entirely believable.
"You think I'll just become the general manager because you say so? Do you think this hotel is yours to own?" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
To everyone's surprise, Brother Qiang nodded and said, "Brother, this hotel belongs to our family!"
Now, Liu Xiaoyuan was completely confused. Since Brother Qiang's family owned such a big hotel, why did Brother Qiang still become a street thug, getting up so early just to collect two yuan in stall fees? Was he out of his mind?
Later, after hearing Qiang Ge's explanation, Liu Xiaoyuan could only say that rich people really know how to have fun!
This hotel was built by Qiang Ge's father through hard work. Being able to open such a large hotel in this small town proves that Qiang Ge's father is a successful businessman. Moreover, Qiang Ge's family has more than just hotels; the Hongmao Supermarket not far from the hotel also belongs to Qiang Ge's family.
Qiang's father was a successful businessman, but not a successful father. Because he was busy with business in his early years, he neglected to discipline Qiang, so Qiang started hanging out on the streets when he was in junior high school.
Later, although he was forced by his father to go to university, Qiang still envied the kind of life that people in society lead.
After barely graduating from university, Qiang's father asked him to help manage the family business, but Qiang was determined to make a living in society.
Before long, Brother Qiang gathered his gang of henchmen, beat the original town boss to a pulp, and became the town's boss.
After becoming the town's boss, in order to demonstrate his authority, Brother Qiang ordered all the shops in town to pay protection money. If they didn't pay, he would have his underlings cause trouble.
Sometimes, on a whim, Brother Qiang would personally lead his henchmen to collect protection money on the street. Last time, on a whim, Brother Qiang led his henchmen to the street early in the morning to collect two yuan for setting up a stall.
At first, someone called the police, but Brother Qiang's family was rich, and he was released quickly.
Later, everyone realized that they couldn't afford to offend Brother Qiang, so they all obediently started paying protection money. This continued for more than ten years.
After listening to Qiang Ge's story, Liu Xiaoyuan said to him, "From now on, you can't charge those vegetable vendors a fee for setting up their stalls anymore, understand?"
Brother Qiang nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, big brother, it definitely won't happen again."
"Brother, do you want to be the general manager?" Brother Qiang asked cautiously.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought about it for a moment. If he became the general manager, he wouldn't have to leave his hometown to find a job anymore. It would be close to home, and he could go home every day.
More importantly, this is the general manager. Apart from the boss, he is the highest-ranking person. He doesn't have to be bullied or have to be subservient to the leader.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan was very wary of such a windfall.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan was considering it, Qiang Ge thought that Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to take the position of general manager. Qiang Ge then said, "Brother, don't worry, this general manager position won't affect your freedom. You don't need to clock in; just come whenever you have time."
