Chapter 3 third chapter

The summer sun was hot and sultry. Pan Yulong wandered around the commercial street for a long time, but still found nothing. He decided to buy a newspaper and looked through it. Finally, he found a hotel management company that was recruiting people in the recruitment information section. Referring to the street signs, Pan Yulong found this company in the dark corridor of a residential area, which was advertised as a branch of the famous Wancheng Hotel.The desks and chairs are brand new, but they are very low-end.The door of one room on the left is closed tightly, and the door of the other room is open. You can see that there is still a bed in the room, and the door on the right is

The door of the room was ajar, and someone inside was negotiating with the outside world on the phone. A middle-aged woman motioned Pan Yulong to sit on the chair by the door and wait, then went to the room on the right and said to the caller: "Manager, there is another applicant." Then she lazily walked to the left In the house.Pan Yulong sat down and watched a young man in his thirties arguing with an older man in his fifties in the living room. The young man was blushing and seemed very angry: "...Yes, I didn't work for a full month, but didn't you agree to pay by the day, didn't you agree..." The elder was very impatient: "Who It is said that the money is counted by the day...Even if it is counted by the day, the accountant is not here today. I can't get the money if the accountant is not here." "...I have been here three times, and you said that the accountant is not here."

Pan Yulong saw a fat man sitting in another corner of the living room, who looked like an applicant just like himself.Just like himself, he stared blankly at the quarrel between the two people in the living room. The elder waved his hands impatiently: "Dede, come back tomorrow, let's agree, the accountant will definitely be here tomorrow morning, okay!" The old man persuaded the young man to go out, and the voice of the manager answering the phone in the room on the right filled the living room again. "Yes, that's right! We'll be leaving soon! This is a new hotel we picked up, a three-star hotel...in Yuhai. What? Have you never heard of Yuhai? Yuhai is a good place! Come on, come on, you'll know when you come...OK, you come and we'll talk in person. Salary? Let's talk in person, okay!"

After the manager finished talking on the phone, he opened the door and walked out, asking: "Who is applying for the job?" Both Pan Yulong and the fat man in the corner stood up: "I am." The manager's eyes first turned to Pan Yulong: "What's your name?" "My name is Pan Yulong, and I'm talking to you on the phone." "Pan Yulong? Oh, you are a student of hotel management at Yinhai Tourism College, right? Have you graduated yet?" Pan Yulong felt guilty, "Uh...not yet." The manager smiled: "Come, come, talk inside, let's talk inside."

After some simple inquiries, Pan Yulong was admitted smoothly. He didn't expect the first interview to go so smoothly. He happily ran back to the small courtyard, jumped up and down the creaking wooden stairs, and put the The good news told Tang Doudou.Tang Doudou was washing her hair, and jumped up with shampoo on her head, looking happier than Pan Yulong. "Let's go, let's celebrate!" Tang Doudou gathered a group of partners from the "Real" group and came to the Crimson Bar. It was not a weekend and there were not many guests, so there was no singing and dancing performance. Everyone gathered together, not to mention how happy they were.

Liu Xun, who voluntarily acted as the manager of the "real" group, also rushed over, squeezed among the young people and drank to their heart's content. Tang Doudou raised his glass: "First of all, congratulations to our friend Pan Yulong, who finally found a great job. Second, I wish our "real" dance group competition success!" "How do you know success?" "Congratulations! Let's wish!" The young man burst into laughter, clinking glasses and drinking. Dongdong turned his head and asked Pan Yulong: "Aaron, what kind of job have you found?"

Pan Yulong replied: "I joined a hotel management company!" Liu Xun asked, "Really, which hotel management company?" "Wancheng Hotel Management Company." Ah Peng, who has always been silent, also asked: "Wancheng? Is it Wancheng Hotel?" Pan Yulong was very happy that A Peng spoke to him, and answered carefully and in detail: "No, Wancheng Hotel is the multiplication of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and we are successful." Liu Xun began to introduce with a face of understanding: "Wancheng Hotel uses an old saying, Wancheng is 10,000 horses, which is a symbol of status, wealth and power. Wancheng Hotel is definitely not the same thing, and the two characters for Cheng (multiply) do not mean the same thing.”

Pan Yulong said: "But I heard that our company is a branch of Wancheng Hotel." "That's awesome!" Dongdong said.Li Xing and Wang Fendou nodded repeatedly, and said in agreement: "Yes, Wancheng Hotel is the best five-star hotel in China!" Pan Yulong said: "I'm leaving soon, we're going to Yuhai to take over a three-star hotel..." Tang Doudou explained for Pan Yulong: "Aaron studied hotel management, and now he is going to work as a room manager in that three-star hotel!" Li Xing patted Pan Yulong on the shoulder: "Really! All right, Aaron!"

Dongdong raised his glass: "Okay! Aaron, I wish you success in your work!" Others also raised their wine glasses one after another, and the beer in the glasses poured into their stomachs immediately. Dongdong asked Liu Xun: "Old Liu, is there any problem with the registration?" Liu Xun patted his chest: "No problem! I even found directors for you. I also found a few composers. Let them make a few "demos" to listen to. Now the composers charge too much money. It doesn't necessarily have a level, we have to see it before deciding..." Everyone fell silent and listened closely.

Liu Xun continued: "...But the choreography has already been decided. He is a teacher of Yinhai Art School who specializes in classical dance. But he is only free at night, so if you want to participate this time, you have to quit your job here. .Our training can only be arranged at night, and the teacher is not available during the day.” Wang Fendou: "What, quit the job here?" He immediately turned his face to look at the Crimson Bar, afraid that he might not see him soon. Dongdong was very straightforward: "Once we decide to participate, of course we have to quit here."

Wang Fendou: "Then...if we lose our jobs here, if we fail in the competition, will people still want it when we come back? " Li Xing also nodded: "Besides, we don't make any money, so what do we rely on for food?" Dongdong: "Why don't you say that this time it's a fight to the death. Let's go home and find a way to go. I'm fine anyway. I go home every day to eat my parents' meals." Li Xing: "It's really not possible... I will rent out my house, and I will live in Shidou." Wang Fendou hurriedly shook his head: "Hey! Don't live in my place, it won't be crowded." Dongdong: "It's not a long-term stay, you just squeeze with Li Xing, everyone grit your teeth and get through this!" Wang Fendou looked reluctant, but there was nothing he could do: "Then you have to move out after the game..." Li Xing curled his lips: "You think I want to live with you forever! You don't even look at your place, it's like a pig's nest." Wang Fendou: "Then you go and clean up..." Tang Doudou cared about A Peng: "A Peng, do you have any questions?" A Peng's expression remained calm: "It's okay, I'll figure it out myself." Tang Doudou still looked at him a little uneasy. Dongdong continued to encourage: "This is an opportunity for us, no matter what we have to fight, whether we can succeed or not depends on ourselves!" Liu Xun said again: "I've found a place for you to practice dancing. It's in the elementary school downstairs of our house. I'm quite familiar with them. Let's borrow their classroom at night. Be careful not to take other people's classes. Just move the table around and break it. We start rehearsing tomorrow night!" On the night of the rehearsal, Pan Yulong followed the five people from Wancheng Hotel Management Company on the train to Yuhai.Along with him was a man in his forties, who seemed to be the leader of the team. Behind him was the fat man who applied for the job on the same day as Pan Yulong, and behind him were two men of the same age as the fat man. The youngest was Pan Yulong. Jade Dragon. The train started, and Pan Yulong sat by the window.Under the night, he saw his own shadow, moving along with the reflection of the car window, slowly accelerating and running fast.That night, Pan Yulong was so excited about his first job that he couldn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, Pan Yulong and the others arrived at Yuhai Station in front of Yuhai Railway Station, which was far more dilapidated and desolate than imagined. The west wind suddenly picked up, and the two companions in thin clothes shrugged their shoulders.Few passengers got off the train at Yuhai, and before they got a firm foothold, the train had already rumbled away. Fatty looked suspicious and disappointed, and murmured to the leader: "This is Yuhai? Did we get off the wrong train?" The leader looked at the stop sign on the platform and said, "That's right. "Except for Pan Yulong, everyone else was puzzled by each other: "Why is this place so desolate?" "Have you been to Yuhai before?" "No, I've never heard of it." When Zhang was at a loss, he suddenly saw a black-faced man holding a sign running towards him, and asked loudly, "Hey, are you from Yinhai?" "Yes, yes, we all are" After some introductions, Pan Yulong and his companion followed the black-faced man and sat in a dirty and broken van, bumping up and down.The morning mist outside the car has not dissipated, and everything is desolate. The van traveled through the wilderness and finally reached the finish line.Pan Yulong and others got out of the car exhaustedly, and they found that this Yuhai Hotel was just a five-story building standing alone in the wilderness, surrounded by emptiness, and a road with few vehicles lay in front of the "hotel" . They unloaded their luggage from the car, followed the black-faced man, and walked into the same empty "hotel" lobby as the outside. At this time, Yinhai Courtyard was still very quiet, and it was already dawn. Two handsome middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes knocked on Tang Doudou's door. Tang Doudou opened the door in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes, and looked at the two strange faces outside the door with a suspicious expression. "We are from the PR Planning Department of Yinhai Company of Shengyuan Group. My surname is Wu. Is your name Tang Doudou?" Tang Doudou replied suspiciously: "Yes." Mr. Wu: "Do you like tap dancing very much?" Tang Doudou: "Yes." Mr. Wu: "Do you have a dance group? Five people?" Tang Doudou: "Yes." Mr. Wu: "The name of your group is 'True'?" Tang Doudou: "Yes. What's the matter, what can you do?" Mr. Wu and his companion looked at each other and said: "We are here to invite you and your dance group to be the image representative of Shengyuan clothing brand. Do you agree to accept?" Tang Doudou beamed with joy: "What, image representative?" In the meeting room of Yuhai Hotel, the leader of the Wancheng Company went somewhere. Pan Yulong and three other partners were waiting in the rough meeting room of Yuhai Hotel, and everyone was talking about it. "Is this hotel a three-star hotel? I think it's a two-star hotel at most!" “Not even two stars!” "This place is so desolate, are there any tourists? Where do all the tourists here come from?" "Hey, Xiao Pan, you should have studied marketing in the School of Hotel Management. Tell me, what does the investor think about opening a hotel here? Does he consider the source of customers? Someone will come to build a hotel here. ?" Before Pan Yulong could answer, the fat man picked it up first: "Why are you here? This is neither a tourist attraction, nor a commercial center, nor a transportation hub. I really can't figure it out. Who would come here to stay in a hotel." Pan Yulong was also full of doubts: "Who invested in this? Have you read the management contract?" The fat man replied, "I didn't read it." The other two also shook their heads. The fat man said: "I heard that the management contract has been signed a long time ago. Let's come and share the profit with the boss here. We will take 10% of the profit. The 10% is not only the management fee turned over to the company, but also Including the wages of the five of us..." Before the fat man finished speaking, the black-faced man walked in from the door together with the leader of the team.As soon as the black-faced man came in, he stretched out his hands to shake hands with everyone: "Thanks for your hard work!" His attitude was extremely enthusiastic. The four of them stood up and shook hands in a daze. The dark-faced man said, "You are all experts. You are from a big city. It is very hard for you to come to our small place. The conditions here are not as good as yours in Yinhai, but I'll be relieved when you come!" The leader of the team, who is also a middle-aged man who is about to be the general manager of the hotel, introduced his companions to the black-faced guys one by one, starting with the fat one: "His name is Chen Liangjie, he is the manager of the catering department, and he has been in the catering department for more than ten years. experience!" The black-faced boss came forward to shake hands: "Hello, hello!" "This is Pan Yulong, the manager of our guest room department, a top student of Yinhai Tourism College, who worked as a room supervisor in Jinyuan Hotel..." The black-faced boss came forward to shake hands again, and complimented with a smile on his face: "Yinhai Tourism College? Then you are from a major, it's great that you came to my place, and you have a lot of potential!" Pan Yulong's face flushed, and he shook hands awkwardly. The general manager introduced: "...these are two of our famous chefs. This one specializes in stoves, surnamed Sun, and this one specializes in pastry, surnamed Liu." The black-faced man cheerfully said, "Okay! The famous chefs of Yinhai, I want to taste your skills!" The black-faced man chatted with the general manager and others and visited the restaurant.The facilities and decoration of the hotel seemed too simple. They looked at the guest rooms one by one, and Pan Yulong was puzzled. He couldn't help asking the black-faced man, "Boss Wang, why is there a mahjong in every guest room?" table?" The black-faced man smiled and said, "Hey, people here don't have any other hobbies, they just love playing games, games, entertainment, hahaha..." The fat man asked: "Boss Wang, how many stars are we here?" The black-faced man replied: "Oh, I... plan to apply for a three-star rating." He turned to Pan Yulong and asked, "What do you think? Generally, three-star guest rooms are not equipped with a mahjong table, but I am! " Pan Yulong didn't know what to answer. The black-faced man: "Hey, why is your name Pan?" Pan Yulong: "Pan Yulong." The fat boss immediately spoke eloquently: "Yulong? Well, our name is Yuhai here. You are Yulong entering Yuhai. You are like a fish in water, and you have a bright future! Hahaha!" The fat boss smiled and turned back, continued to chat with the general manager and walked forward.The rest of the people followed behind and looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The "real" dance group has not yet started dancing, and Tang Doudou told the other four boys the good news of being invited to be the image representative. "Shengyuan Group? That's a big company!" "Shengyuan Group? I haven't heard of it. What do you do? Do you make clothes?" "Do you do real estate? There is a Shengyuan Building, and there is a Shengyuan Building in Xicheng District." "The big companies now do everything, including IT, clothing, real estate, and everything else. My classmate's brother is doing design in a company under Shengyuan Group." Wang Fendou was very excited: "Hey, Doudou, how did such a big company find you?" "That's how people searched, and I don't know how to find me." Tang Doudou said. A Peng is still dumb: "How do they know about us?" "They said they came to our bar to see our show." Everyone was a little relieved: "Oh." Dongdong is very skilled: "Being an image representative is to advertise for them. Hey, Doudou, what's the name of their clothing brand?" Tang Doudou replied: "It seems to be called Shengyuan Clothing." Dongdong said: "Do you want us to do print ads or video ads? Have you negotiated terms with you? How much will they pay?" Tang Doudou: "I heard that we are going to make a commercial." "Then where is this commercial used? Is it on TV? Is it broadcast on TV?" "If it is broadcast on TV, we have to do it without money." "When will it be done?" "No , just let us wait for the notice, and they will contact us again." While everyone was chattering, the dance teacher and Liu Xun came in from the door talking about something. Teacher: "Hey, let's start practicing." Everyone dispersed and went to change clothes, with the excitement that fell from the sky still hanging on their faces. Liu Xun criticized loudly: "Why haven't you changed your shoes yet? Hurry up, hurry up!" In the dark wilderness, there are a few lonely windows of Yuhai Hotel, like a monster blinking and sleepy. In a room of the hotel, Pan Yulong is surrounded by a circle of newly recruited employees. These employees are simple-looking, and you can tell at a glance that they are young people recruited from the local countryside. They wear uniform cheap clothes and watch Pan Yulong demonstrate how to make a bed. , Clean the bathroom, wipe the dust, fold the rag... The three years of majoring are not in vain. Pan Yulong's movements are quick and standard, and he teaches procedures and essentials at the same time.The new employees crowded around, eager to learn, and looked very seriously. The hotel's equipment is slowly being put in place. Pan Yulong has been very busy these two days, directing and coordinating various tasks in preparation for the opening.Instruct the new employees to shuttle the unpacked TVs and refrigerators into the room; another group of new employees arrange bedding, water glasses, and soap in the guest room.The electrician is still busy wiring and installing lights.Every room is busy, and entire corridors are filled with people coming and going. The manager of the food and beverage department rushed to the floor and said, "Hey, Xiao Pan! You can open a room for me. Our two chefs live in the bungalow next to us. I can't stand it anymore. They say there are mosquitoes at night, and why don't you leave me alone?" There is a foul smell! It may be that the construction team urinated there before, and the urine smell has seeped into the cement. Let them live there again and they will leave, and they will quit!" Pan Yulong: "I have to ask the general manager for approval to open a room. I have no right to approve it." Food and Beverage Manager: "I can't find Mr. Gao now. You can drive first. You can ask them to bring the luggage over here first. I can find Mr. Gao later, okay?" Pan Yulong grabbed a waiter and told him to open a room for the chef.See that fat manager in the food and beverage department follow The waiter is gone.Pan Yulong hurried downstairs. At the entrance of the downstairs office area, he saw the general manager negotiating with a representative of the black-faced boss. "The gas can't be connected until now. If you don't connect it, you can't try the stove. The next step can't be done." "Oh, I'm too busy these days, I can't get it done, I have to run for gas, I have to run for food safety permits, I have to run for fire inspections, and I don't even have a sewage discharge certificate, so you just make do with it .” "It's not just the gas problem. Your kitchen... your stove is not compatible. Even our chefs said no after seeing it, and they definitely can't produce food." Pan Yulong hesitated for a moment, and when he saw them walking towards the office area, he hurriedly followed them and called out, "Mr. Gao!" The general manager turned his head and looked impatient: "What's the matter?" "Now one-third of the rooms have insufficient supplies of cotton and guest consumables, and Curry is gone. What should I do?" The general manager waved his hand: "You first concentrate on sending out as many rooms as you can." Everything was not ready, and the five people from Yinhai had to squeeze into the simple private room of the restaurant to eat instant noodles. While squeezing the sauce package, the general manager said to Pan Yulong: "He wants to go back, so let him go back first, the deposit cannot be refunded now. The deposit is not in our hands, we have to go to the boss, and we did not collect the deposit. You tell them that the boss is not here now." Food and Beverage Manager: "It's time for me to make purchases here. I don't even have a car, just a van, and the boss' nephew drove it away. If the purchases drag on, don't blame us if we can't open." General manager: "When the boss comes back, I will tell him to see if there are any other cars." Chef: "Now the gas is out of order, and we are useless here. We have already given them the list of kitchen equipment that we need to buy, and we don't even have a word about whether we can get in or not." Everyone chatted while eating noodles, and they seemed to be full of grievances.Pan Yulong also wanted to complain, but seeing the general manager's disgruntled face, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back, knowing that complaining was useless. The guest rooms were finally furnished, and the general manager and Pan Yulong followed the black-faced boss to inspect each guest room. The general manager sincerely advised: "Tomorrow is absolutely impossible to open, and I haven't even set the menu for this restaurant." The black-faced boss said with a relaxed face: "Why don't you serve a simple meal first! Do you have enough drinks? Just have enough drinks! Beer, Coke, Sprite...you have mineral water? Have it first!" The general manager looked at Pan Yulong who was also full of doubts, and the two looked at each other. The boss said: "... Let's make some simple rice first, box lunch, noodles! Fry a few dishes, what's so difficult about it?" Pan Yulong interjected: "Now there are quite a few beddings in the guest rooms, and the consumables for the guests are not fully equipped, and the warehouse is also out of stock." The black-faced boss: "Hey, just make do with it first, and make it up later." The general manager hurriedly added: "It also needs money to make up. Now the restaurant has no money in its account. The opening funds must be in place, and the normal opening fees and working capital must be guaranteed." The black-faced boss smiled: "Money? Yes! Don't you have money as soon as you open your business!" The general manager was stunned by his words: "This... If it opens like this, it must be a brand name, not to mention that the current employees have only been recruited for a few days, and they haven't had time to train systematically." The black-faced boss didn't seem to care: "Oh, you're here. You take them along and learn as you go. Hotel service is not a high-tech thing, you can do it in two days, why not learn in middle school!" The general manager was anxious: "We can keep an eye on the service, but the project has not been checked and accepted, the firefighting equipment has not been connected, the health quarantine has not been checked and accepted, and..." The black-faced boss stood still, and the expression on his face darkened: "Mr. Gao, my place is not Yinhai, but Yuhai. Yuhai is not so formal. Don't worry, I have done work on the relevant aspects. No one will trouble you, you drive first, okay, you drive first." The black-faced boss left, and the general manager and Pan Yulong stood behind him in a daze. The manager of the catering department just rushed over, looked at the back of the black-faced boss and said, "Is he... really out of money? Does it mean that the opening fee depends on the opening of the business and we earn it for him?" The general manager was silent for a moment, and then ordered the two of them: "...Everyone hurry up and prepare, it will open tomorrow!" The general manager also left. Pan Yulong and the manager of the catering department stared at each other in disbelief. Food and Beverage Manager: "Tomorrow? How will it open tomorrow!" Pan Yulong looked helpless: "Let's go, I guess no one will come." The hotel opened the next day.Some banners and ribbons were randomly hung at the gate of the hotel, and many cars of various kinds were parked in the parking lot in front of the gate. Contrary to Pan Yulong's expectations, he didn't expect so many guests to come to the floor one after another, and the sound of rubbing numbness suddenly came from the half-open doors of many rooms. Pan Yulong shuttled back and forth in the corridor, directing the waiters to deal with various services. A guest stood at the door of the guest room and scolded the waiter: "Do you have a manager here? What kind of hotel is this! I want iced beer, can I drink the beer if it is not iced?" Pan Yulong was about to go up to explain to the waiter, but another waiter asked Come over and say: "Manager Pan, the air conditioner in room 313 is broken. We have notified the engineering department a long time ago. The guests are in a hurry, and the engineering department has not come up yet." "Change him to another room first!" Don't go to the front hall to register?" "You open it to the guests first!" Before Pan Yulong recovered, another waiter ran over: "Manager Pan, the toilet in 209 is blocked, and the guest can't flush it. The master of the engineering department said that there is no way for him to do so. The guest asked to change the room!" Pan Yulong: "Let me take a look!" They had just passed a room when a guest came out to block the way: "Are you the manager here? Why isn't the light in this room on? Ah! Why isn't it on?" At this time, Pan Yulong saw the general manager hurriedly passing through the corridor, and quickly ordered the waiter to take care of the guests for him : "Help him take a look." Then he quickly chased after the general manager. "Mr. Gao, I really can't do it here. Should we tell the boss again, this business can't be opened like this!" The general manager seemed to be impatient: "It's useless to report! Your situation here is not bad, but the downstairs is flooded, cough, it's all messed up, and the construction quality is too poor!" The general manager complained, and Pan Yulong left in a hurry. go. The guest with the broken light was still pulling Pan Yulong's arm, and several companions of the guest also came up to help: "Hey, hey, what's going on, you don't care, what kind of service are you doing! You asked your boss to come !" Several waiters delivered drinks and boxed meals to each room, and Pan Yulong was still busy, dealing with complaints from customers, making the waiters exhausted.He walked to the work room exhausted, and saw the glass was broken on the floor. A waiter looked at his face with a look of panic, and hurriedly bent down to clean it up.Pan Yulong told the waiter not to cut his hands, his voice had already faded. The waiter hurriedly cleared away the broken glass, and the workshop became quiet.Pan Yulong wanted to get some water to drink, but the hand holding the cup couldn't stop shaking.He leaned against the wall, took a sip of water slowly, breathing heavily, the complexion on his face was a little haggard and pale. The rehearsal of the real dance group is still going on every day. On this day, the boys and girls are practicing dance, when Tang Doudou's cell phone rang.Tang Doudou looked at the teacher's face and persisted for a while, but the phone kept calling, so Tang Doudou had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry." Then he ran to the chair next to him and searched for the phone in his pocket. The teacher looked unhappy, and everyone stopped to watch Tang Doudou answer the phone. Liu Xun, who stood watching the rehearsal, glanced at the teacher, turned around and reprimanded the other four boys: "You all turn off your mobile phones, and no one should answer the phone during dance practice." The four boys were silent.At this time they heard Tang Doudou's voice suddenly raised when answering the phone: "What? When will we meet... Tomorrow, I'll go alone?" Liu Xun also turned his head like the four boys, paying attention to Tang Doudou's expression and voice. The next day, Tang Doudou, wearing freshly washed clothes, ran down the stairs and across the courtyard.A dark limousine was parked outside the courtyard, and a man in a suit stood beside the car, stretching out his hand to open the door of the car for her.Tang Doudou got into the car, and the man who pulled the door got into the driver's passenger seat.The car drove slowly out of the alley. The black car stopped in front of a magnificent small building.Then someone opened the door.Tang Doudou got out of the car, and she turned her gaze to a golden signboard inlaid by the door. The signboard read in both Chinese and English: "Shengyuan Group Yinhai Company." Tang Doudou was led through a bright corridor.Everyone she saw here was well-dressed and busy.Passing through an exquisite and small garden, they entered another old-fashioned small building, and then walked straight into a large office along the corridor. At the moment when the door of that office was opened and closed, a man in a suit and leather shoes was coming out of it. Tang Doudou's eyes became hot when he passed by, and he recognized the man as the "scholar" Lao Wang who had visited several times.Once Lao Wang changed from the sloppy style of Japanese literati in the past, he dressed in neat clothes as if he had become a living person!Tang Doudou was about to turn around to make a careful identification, when a man in the office who looked like a secretary had already heard the sound, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of "please", Tang Doudou had to follow his gestures and smile, and walked into the room awkwardly door. The door of the room closed immediately behind her, and Tang Doudou walked forward slowly.She saw a burly man in his forties sitting upright behind a large desk, and shot a scrutinizing gaze directly at him. Huang Wanjun, the president of Shengyuan Group Yinhai Company, asked and answered Tang Doudou across a big desk. "I heard...your parents are gone. Are you alone in your family now?" "Yeah, just me. My parents are dead." "Because of what, is it sick?" "My father died of illness." "Where's your mother?" Tang Doudou did not answer, paused for a while, and asked, "Does this have anything to do with asking us to shoot commercials?" Huang Wanjun said: "Of course there is. Choosing an advertising image for a product is tantamount to launching a brand spokesperson. For the brand spokesperson that Shengyuan Clothing will be looking for, we need to know everything about him. Including his family, his history, his His conduct, his hobbies, his...social relations." Tang Doudou thought for a while: "Then why did you only ask me to come? Are you asking our group to advertise, or just me?" Huang Wanjun replied calmly: "You are the main image of this advertising plan. Your image is very suitable for the style of our clothing - youthful, fashionable, and a little bit rebellious. But the image of the spokesperson we want to choose must be positive Yes, full of sunshine and vigor. Including his family and his own history, there can be no negative situations. If your father is a drug dealer, no matter how qualified your image is, we can't use you, do you understand?" Tang Doudou nodded half-understanding: "Understood." Huang Wanjun paused and asked, "How did your mother die?" Tang Doudou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Suicide." Huang Wanjun was obviously shocked by this unexpected word, but he still maintained his superficial composure. He intentionally slowed down his voice: "Can you tell me the details?" Tang Doudou: "...she took an overdose of sleeping pills." Tang Doudou only said this. After a short pause, she raised her eyes and saw Huang Wanjun's gaze was still asking. She continued: "That day she went to Sun Valley, and there was a hotel called Sunshine Hotel. She stayed at that hotel." The Sunshine Hotel rented a room...she died there. When she died, there was a tape recorder beside her, and a song she had written was still playing in the tape recorder. The name of the song was "Truth". It was one of her favorite pieces. When she died, I very small..." Tang Doudou paused and continued, "I went to that hotel later, that hotel was in the middle of the valley, very quiet, looking out from the window, you could see the deep valley, the gloomy shadows in the valley and a narrow line of sky .Each room has its own name..." Until returning to the dance practice classroom, Tang Doudou's thoughts have been silent in that secluded valley, silent in the suite called Lanhua where her mother died, and the memories made her emotionally sad.Tang Doudou walked into the rehearsal venue with a dazed expression.She looked up and saw that her "real" companions were all looking at her strangely. No one understood the reason for her sadness at this time. Dongdong asked: "How about Doudou, have you gone? Wang Fendou also asked eagerly: Who talked to you there? Have you met their boss? Let us advertise?" Only A Peng did not Opening his mouth, he just cared about Doudou with his eyes.Tang Doudou looked at his partner and was silent for a while. Dongdong was a little frustrated, and asked impatiently: "Did it blow?" Pan Yulong presided over a pre-shift meeting of the guest room department, and there were four or five foremen holding small notebooks in the small office.Pan Yulong was sweating coldly, with a sick look on his face. "Let's talk about yesterday's problem first. Everyone worked very hard yesterday, but there are still many problems. I will mainly talk about three points. First, you must knock on the door before entering the room. Whether you are cleaning or delivering water, whether there are people or no one inside, This is not in your own home, you know? Learn to respect the privacy of guests. Second, don’t think that consumables for guests are provided to guests for free anyway, so you can use them yourself or even take them home. This is absolutely Prohibited, you must emphasize this again on your respective floors, our next step is to establish a management system for consumables, before the system is established, you, the foreman, must manage your own people well..." The foreman stopped the pen in his hand and stared at Pan Yulong with wide eyes.Pan Yulong seemed tired, paused for a while, and then said: "Third, I have said many times about the language norms in our service, and I will say it again now, using words like "please" and "thank you" Polite words, don't speak too loudly in the hallway..." The phone next to him rang suddenly, and a waiter answered it, then interrupted Pan Yulong, and handed over the receiver: "Manager Pan, I'm looking for you." Pan Yulong answered the phone, his face darkened, and he said: "Okay, I'll be there right away!" He hung up the phone and walked to the door, and at the same time ordered: "The meeting will end immediately! Li Cheng and Hu Yingchun will follow me, and the others will end the meeting !" When Pan Yulong and two foremen hurried to the general manager's office, a large group of local farmers had already surrounded the general manager's office.The farmers grabbed the general manager and yelled loudly. Their anger made the situation in the house almost out of control. "How long do you want to delay?" "I promised to pay compensation for land occupation in early September, but I haven't paid it yet. Do you have any money, what land to occupy, and what kind of shop to open!" "If you don't pay, we'll smash the restaurant for you!" "Smash! Smash them!" The general manager was in a panic, and his voice was hoarse: "We don't know about this matter, we just came here, you should go to the investor for the land occupation fee, you should go to Boss Wang!" 农民们仍然缠住不放：“你不清楚你干什么来了！你不清楚你干什么来了！” “我们不管什么老板，谁在这里挣钱，我们就找谁。” “别听他的，他就是老板！” 总经理连忙解释：“我是这儿的总经理，我真的不是老板！” 农民们显然搞不懂总经理和老板之间有何区别，吵嚷着说：“总经理不就是老板吗？别听他扯了，他们都是一伙的！” “你就说一句话，给不给钱！别的少啰嗦，不给钱我们把这个电视拉走！” 一个人话音未落，另一个人已经上来要抱桌上的电脑了。潘玉龙这时带人挤进屋里。总经理一看救兵来了，口气略显镇定：“老乡们，老乡们，我们是受这家酒店投资方的聘请，来这里承担经营管理工作的，至于酒店的投资老板是怎么答应你们的，我们并不清楚！” 一个农民喊道：“你不清楚我告诉你，我们和这个酒店是有协议的！我们每户每个月一百块钱。这边一共二百多户，一个月才两万多嘛。你们这么大的买卖，连这点钱都拿不出来吗？” 潘玉龙用身体保护着总经理，冲农民们喊道：“我们也是来打工的，你们有什么问题，你们应该直接去找投资商啊。你们的地又不是我们占的，协议又不是我们签的……” 农民们哗地全都转向了潘玉龙：“你们打工，凭什么要占我们的地打工啊！凭什么到这里挣我们的钱啊。”潘玉龙：“并不是我们占你们的地，我们也是……” 走廊上突然有人喊了一声：“老板回来了！” 农民们：“在哪儿呢？” 走廊上的农民：“在门口，我看见他的车了！” 农民们喊着：“走！别让他跑了！把他的车扣住……” 农民们涌下楼去，屋子一下空了下来，总经理和潘玉龙这才如释重负。总经理瞅了瞅自己被扯皱的西服，只有一颗钮扣还可怜巴巴的吊在上面。潘玉龙带来的服务员们都傻楞在屋里，潘玉龙猛省般地赶紧把他们支走：“你们先回去吧，先回去干活儿吧。” 服务员们走了，屋里只剩下了总经理和潘玉龙。 总经理全身疲软地坐了下来。潘玉龙看上去更加精疲力尽，可他还是用沙哑的声音发出疑问：“高总，咱们不是万乘大酒店的分公司吗，万乘大酒店怎么会接这种项目？” 总经理叹了口气：“咳，咱们这个'万成公司'，说是万乘大酒店的分公司，我来的时 候也没想到，咱们这个成功的成，和人家那个加减乘除的乘，这一字之差，可就差得大了……” 潘玉龙看着总经理，哑然无声。 总经理：“……我向公司提过要求，要求公司提供管理上起码的系统支援，可公司两手一摊，说就靠你了，就靠咱们这几个人了。销售、运营、财务、培训，什么规程都没有，什么文字的东西都没有！我估计，咱们万成公司和人家万乘大酒店，根本就是两码事！” 潘玉龙也许早有估计，但闻此言仍禁不住脸色发僵。总经理关心地提醒了一句：“你这几天也辛苦了，脸色可不好。你没不舒服吧？” 潘玉龙：“……没有，可能没睡好吧。” 总经理：“啊，你自己悠着点，千万别在这儿生病。在这儿生了病，可就麻烦了。” 玉海大酒店生意兴隆，每间客房里都充斥了客人的吵闹和麻将的响声。 潘玉龙真的病了，力不能支。他踉跄着走进楼层工作间，喘了口气，刚刚吩咐一个服务员赶快给318房间上饮料，另一个服务员又上来请示：“潘经理，313房要结帐。他说一定要在房间里结，不愿意到前台去结。” 潘玉龙气虚力弱，给服务员指示：“你再找客人说服一下，实在不行看能不能叫结帐员上来一趟。” 又一位服务员进来，请示道：“潘经理，318的客人非要喝什么喜力啤酒，咱们这儿没有，怎么办？” 潘玉龙焦头烂额，正想开口，一个领班跑了进来：“潘经理，这是你的药。”潘玉龙一面接过药，一面对服务员吩咐：“你就跟客人说没有。” 潘玉龙拿着药，弯下腰去够水壶。领班见他吃力的样子，连忙把水壶拎起来，替他倒了杯热水，看他吞下药片。 领班说：“潘经理，光吃退烧药不行吧，要不要去医院看看？县城有个医院，我陪你去看看吧。” 潘玉龙摇摇头：“没事。”领班还想说什么，潘玉龙问：“几点了？” 领班看了看表：“十点多了，要不你早点回宿舍休息吧，捂着被子发发汗，也许就会好了……” 潘玉龙点点头。让领班扶他走出了工作间。 他们走出工作间后蓦然止步，忽然听到走廊上不知多少人齐声喧哗，潘玉龙还没听清那些吼叫的内容，就看到大批公安人员与武警士兵出现在前方。几个在走廊上走动的客人返身逃窜，警察们快速追上，冲进各个房间，高声的喝令此起彼伏： “不要动！” “不要碰桌上的钱！” “蹲下！双手抱头！蹲这儿来！” 潘玉龙和领班站在工作间的门口，惊得目瞪口呆。 ... 玉海大酒店的门前警车密集，仍有不少警察源源不断地拥入饭店,几个民警冲进饭店总经理室，把正要出门的总经理堵在了门口。 警察封锁了酒店的各个出口，餐饮部经理正在宿舍洗脸，涂了一脸白花花的肥皂被警察按住，双手抱头蹲在了墙边。几个正在吃饭的客人被冲进门的警察吓得面如土色。客房层里，每个房间都有人陆续双手抱头被警察押出，成排成队地在走廊上低头蹲下。 公安人员将掩面遮颜的赌徒们成群结队地押出饭店大门，押上了几辆破旧的大客车。总经理、餐饮经理和潘玉龙也从楼上被押了下来。 总经理追着一位公安头头不停地解释：“同志，民警同志，我们是这儿的投资商聘请来的，是来承担经营工作的，我们不是……” 民警大声呵斥：“你们不是什么，你们是不是这儿的经营人员？我们抓的就是赌场的经营人员！”总经理很是惊讶：“赌场？”警察厉声道：“你们这儿不是赌场是什么？啊！”餐饮经理吓得口齿不清：“不是不是，我们这儿是饭店呀……” 警察厉声道： “饭店？你们银海的饭店是这样的吗！你们银海的万乘大酒店我都进去过，是这样的吗？”餐饮经理还想申辩：“这儿的人不是没什么娱乐吗，他们是过来打打牌，打打牌，娱乐娱乐……”警察：“娱乐娱乐？桌上有钱看见没有！你进过房没有！没进过房你经营什么饭店！” 只有潘玉龙没有说话，他也说不动话。他的脸上流着虚脱的冷汗，任由公安人员推搡着，和总经理、餐饮部经理一起，出门上了汽车。 两个厨师也被押出来了，冤枉地喊道：“我们是厨师，我们就是做饭的。我们不知道客人来干什么，我们就是做饭的……” 警察还是把厨师押上了汽车：“走走，先走！到局里再说！” 汤豆豆刚洗完澡，悠闲地靠在枕头上，耳朵里塞着随身听的耳机，双手操纵着一把剪刀，仔细地剪着一个小小的贴布兰花，一剪一剪地将它从一个旧衣裙上剪了下来。 汤豆豆把兰花的花心剪空，套在护腕的正中，针脚细密地缝在护腕上。护腕上残留着一块暗红的血迹，与贴布组合出一幅彩色的图案——一只青叶粉瓣的美丽兰花跃然而出。枕边的随身听里，依然放着《真实》的乐曲，舒缓的旋律把汤豆豆带入虚幻的梦境—— 日光充足的太阳谷； 青山环抱的阳光旅社； 空荡而悠长的旅社走廊。 ...
