Chapter 637: Many times, don’t talk, just keep smiling
When we arrived on the island, it was almost twelve o'clock.
Before dinner, I informed Qing Ruo and Ning Jing of the final outcome of my discussion with Mr. Chen:
That is, normal training and normal holidays before the New Year.
After the New Year, we will no longer hire those training teachers and will enter the debugging experience stage.
After debugging, it opened on time on March 10.
Qing Ruo said, "The quality training program is being cut?"
"Quality is cultivated on the job. Don't listen to the experts; true quality is cultivated from childhood."
Ning Jing asked: "How about the afternoon meeting?"
I said, "I'll preside over the meeting. Ningjing, you'll make arrangements for the work before and after the New Year. Qingruo will set the requirements for everyone. Then I'll encourage them. Don't make the meeting too long; keep it short."
Next, we agreed on some details of the meeting.
I suggested that three magicians perform on the spot to add to the atmosphere.
Qing Ruo asked, "Should I put it in the front or the back?"
I said, "Save it for last. Do some more cheerful magic tricks."
Qing Ruo said, "Doesn't the magic trick seem to ruin the serious atmosphere?"
I joked, "Why be so serious every day? Daughter Island is a happy place. A place where even Tang Sanzang would want to stay."
Ning Jing smiled and said, "Sister Qingruo is more suitable to play the queen."
Qing Ruo laughed and said, "Don't talk to Mr. Wan. Every word he says is a trap. Lao Xiao was led astray by him, and Manager Wei was led astray by him. Do you want to be his female disciple?"
Ning Jing said: "Mr. Wan's humor is natural, Lao Xiao is a bit ruffian, and Manager Wei's humor lacks literary talent."
Qing Ruo said, "You look like this, it means you are convinced and want to become my disciple."
It seems I was right to recommend Manager Wei as the island owner. When the two women get together, I always feel like there's something fishy going on between them. There's always some subtle underhandedness in their conversations.
I got up, went outside, and called Qi Yi to ask him to perform magic tricks that afternoon. I gave him two instructions: one, be cheerful, and two, there would be candy at the end, so he should be prepared.
Qi Yi said, "Okay, I'll discuss this with them right away."
Back in the private room, the food came and everyone ate together.
After they finished eating, Qing Ruo said, "Building No. 1 is now open. You like taking a nap, so go take a nap first." Then, she called a waiter and said, "Xiao Wei, take General Wan to Building No. 1 to rest."
The waiter led me to Building No. 1.
I asked casually, "Wei, from Weijia Village?"
She nodded and smiled: "If I tell you my uncle's name, you will know."
I looked at her seriously and said, "Don't say that. Your uncle is Secretary Wei. You look like her daughter. If you put on Tang Dynasty clothing, you'll be a classic beauty."
She smiled and said, "Boss Wan knows how to praise people."
I said, "We are in the service industry. Praising others makes them happy. Don't people come to travel just to have fun?"
When tourists are happy, they pay their tickets quickly. When they pay their tickets quickly, the company's profits improve, and your income increases."
Xiao Wei laughed so hard that her body shook, and said:
"We students just love listening to your lectures. Others just lecture on big principles. They tell us we should develop a service mindset, consider issues from the perspective of the entire company, and endure grievances silently. The atmosphere becomes tense."
As they talked, they arrived at Building No. 1. After entering the lobby and turning right, she opened the door for me and said as she boiled water for tea:
"Mr. Wan, excuse me for a minute. I want to ask you a question."
I nodded.
She said, "Do I have to praise others every time I meet them?"
I said, "Let me give you an example, and you can understand it yourself. For example, when I was in junior high school, a female classmate had a burn on the left side of her face.
Look at her left side, it's really ugly. Look at her right side, it's very beautiful. Tell me, should I praise her or not?
She looked at me in confusion, brewed some tea, brought it over, and placed it on the coffee table, waiting for my opinion.
I said, "To tell the truth, she is ugly, but I can't say that because the truth is like a knife, it pierces the heart. To lie and say she is beautiful is not true.
So, many times, you don’t need to talk, just keep smiling.”
She said, "Thank you, Mr. Wan, have a good rest. When will I wake you up?"
"Two o'clock."
"Okay." She closed the door and left.
I washed up and went to bed when my cell phone rang. I grabbed it and saw it was Dongzi calling.
I said, "Hello, Director Qiao."
The other side was stunned for a long time before saying, "You know?"
I laughed and said, "Anyone who dares to make a phone call at noon and disturb others' naps must be a leader, so Director Qiao is the boss. Am I wrong?"
The other side laughed loudly, and after laughing, he whispered: "I apologize to the master for disturbing your dream."
“Is it announced, or is it a public notice period?”
“It was just announced today.”
"You only called me, not anyone else, right?"
"No, because the master has predicted it correctly, and I am here to tell you the good news."
"That's because the organization is particularly concerned about you cadres. You'll have a holiday tomorrow, and during the holiday, no one else will care about this kind of thing. You have a three-day safe period. Including today, you only need three days of work, and you'll be fine."
Dongzi said, "I'm also afraid that the people in my department who joined the same agency as me will get jealous and find some small things to complain to the organization."
"Don't worry about complaints. The secretary likes your articles and appreciates your talent, so complaints won't work. However, if someone does complain, the organization will investigate, which will be troublesome.
So try to minimize the impact these days. Especially on New Year's Day, don't go out, and your wife and children should stay home. Secondly, don't post on WeChat Moments, don't post anything at all."
"That's why I called you. I want you to scare my wife. She's been clamoring for me to go on a trip on New Year's Day."
"Out of the province?"
"Just traveling around the city. I'm calling you from my study. She's in the bedroom. Please help me say a few words."
I said, "Okay."
After a while, Dongzi's wife's voice came from the phone: "Hello, Teacher Wan."
I said, "Hello, Miss Liang, Madam Qiao."
She said, "You are the only one who likes to joke around."
I said, "I heard you're going on a trip on New Year's Day?"
She said, "Yes, Qiao Dongtian is busy all day and has never spent a day with the child. He said it was during the public notice period and he tried not to go out. The child doesn't understand and keeps telling me and making trouble every day."
I said, "Well, don't go anywhere near Wuxiang. Come to Shangzhou. I have a tourist area here that I manage. Stay here for two days."
She said, "Really? Really? That would be great."
Dongzi's voice came from the microphone again: "You should rest too. It's not good to disturb you, right?"
I said, "Stop rambling. Let's get together. My parents want to see you too. We're from the same village. You've made a name for yourself now. They'll be happy to see you."
Dongzi said, "Yes, I want to come and visit my uncle and aunt too."
After making this call, I rubbed my Sanmaoxue and slowly fell asleep.
I don’t know when the phone in the room rang. I looked and it was already two o’clock. I knew it was Xiao Wei urging me to get up.
