Chapter 243: Give a sweet date after a beating
Manager Wen felt his scalp tingling when he saw her look, and he instinctively felt that he might be in trouble as well.
As expected, the next second Duan Rao said quietly, "What you said makes sense. In this case, we must compensate people for recycling these things. This money will be deducted from your bonus this year, Manager Li. But your bonus is probably not enough, so, Manager Wen..."
Manager Wen was caught off guard by his name and shuddered unconsciously, then he called out subconsciously, "Boss Du."
"Manager Li is certainly wrong, but in the final analysis, this person was brought in by your cousin."
Manager Wen's eyes flickered. "You're right. My responsibility in this matter is no less than that of Manager Li. My bonus this year has also been deducted as compensation for these customers. Besides that..."
"Okay, that's it." Before Manager Wen could finish, Duan Rao interrupted him and said, "All your bonuses this year will be deducted as compensation for the guests. If there is not enough left, I will pay for it personally."
"How can this be possible?" Manager Li had already prepared himself to be the first of the three things the new boss would do upon taking office.
I didn't expect that in the end, the only thing that happened was a deduction of bonus. Although as a middle or senior management of the auction house, the year-end bonus was not small, it was good that I was not fired for such a big mistake. It can be said that it was a blessing in disguise that I just had my bonus deducted.
Manager Wen was also surprised. He really didn't expect that Duanrao would choose him to pay the final difference. This decision was obviously not in line with the principles of a management team.
But considering the current situation of their auction house and Duan Rao having just taken over the auction house, this approach is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
"Why not? But this is just one time, and it won't happen again. It's a lesson for you. If something like this happens again, you won't have to pay more than this. You can see that even if there is no concrete evidence, there are some things that I can find out if I want to know them. Do you understand?"
As soon as Duan Rao said this, everyone thought of Xiang Qiufu, who had just had a layer of skin torn off. The skin on their bodies tightened and they nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand."
Duanrao breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, his eyes full of smiles.
Xi Jingyue couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he was worrying too much.
Her absolute strength, coupled with a little cleverness, is enough for her to control these relatively reliable ordinary people.
It was at this time that Ms. Qiu called, considering that the finished product Du Anrao was going to give to an elder as a wedding gift, and she happened to be living in that elder's home.
After receiving the items, Ms. Qiu took the initiative to call and ask whether she wanted them to deliver the newly made bracelets to Jingyu Street in person, or to make an appointment at another place and have Duan Rao pick them up himself?
Duanrao thought about it and decided to go get it herself, so she made an appointment with the other party to stay at a hotel. While preparing to pick up the things, she also treated the two of them to a meal to thank them for their strong support that night and for helping her to rush to make the pair of bracelets.
When Xi Jingyue learned that Du Anrao was going to meet the mother and son of the Qiu family, he decisively volunteered to drive her there personally.
In order to take over the auction house, the two of them had been going in and out together these days. Duanrao was used to riding in his car, so he didn't refuse.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, Xi Jingyue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is what you just said true?"
"What?"
“The blessings in one’s life are all predetermined.”
"Oh, that's what I mean." Duan Rao suddenly realized, "It's true, but this fixed number is not unchangeable, just like doing bad things will damage your virtue, and doing good things will accumulate blessings. Although blessings have a fixed number, if you do good things and accumulate blessings, your blessings will increase accordingly. On the contrary, if you do bad things and damage your virtue, your blessings will decrease accordingly."
"I see. This is what they call good deeds are rewarded with good, and evil deeds are punished with evil, right?"
"Yes!" Duanrao fell silent after he finished speaking.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of saying that. But in fact, many good people are more likely to encounter bad people, and bad people are more likely to bully good people, just like Mr. Wen's second uncle and aunt. On the contrary, evil people will be punished by evil people, and some bad people are not dared to be provoked by anyone." Just like Yao Fangjin who was met in the Zhenxiu Restaurant before.
Xi Jingyue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything to comfort her, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "Things in this world are ever-changing, and no one can be sure which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, so we just need to focus on ourselves. It's good enough to be able to help others occasionally while living a good life."
Duan Rao was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed: "You are right. No matter what, just do your best. For the rest, just do your best."
"It's best if you think so."
It is said that deep love does not bring longevity, and extreme wisdom will bring harm. The person in front of him has only recently reached adulthood. Xi Jingyue does not want her to force too many unnecessary things on himself and think too much.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Ms. Qiu asked me if she could bring two more people to dinner later?" Du Anrao said, turning to ask Xi Jingyue for his opinion, "Is it possible?"
"I have no objection. You decide."
"That's fine with me."
Du Anrao and Ms. Qiu made an appointment to meet at a hotel, and the location was chosen by Ms. Qiu.
After the two drove to the hotel, as soon as they said Ms. Qiu's name, a waiter immediately and enthusiastically led them into the box.
At that time, Ms. Qiu and her son were already waiting in the box. As soon as Duan Raopu appeared, the two of them quickly came out to greet them.
"Ms. Du, you are here. Come and sit down. Are you satisfied with this pair of bracelets? If there is anything you don't like, I will take it back and have it altered."
Du Anrao opened the box with Ms. Qiu's hand, and what came into view were two crystal clear four-color bracelets. The bracelets, which had been carefully polished, sparkled under the light, even more dazzling than before, and captured Du Anrao's heart in an instant.
"It's so beautiful, Aunt Qiu, the craftsmanship of the people in your company is really great. The finished product is beyond my expectations. It's really great."
Ms. Qiu was relieved when she heard this: "As long as you like it."
"How can I not like such a beautiful bracelet? My grandma will definitely like it when she sees it."
"Since there's nothing wrong with the bracelet, let's sit down and order some food."
"Yes, yes, yes, first come first served."
"Who are these two..." After being pulled to sit by Ms. Qiu, I found two middle-aged men and women sitting on the other side, looking a little uneasy. One of them looked familiar.
Duanrao thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he overlapped the shadow in his memory with the woman in front of him.
"You are... the aunt who spoke up for me at the auction house that day?"
