Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

"Looks like you're not cut out for the underworld."

Zhao Hongqi shook his head with a smile.

I was confused: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Hongqi tapped the table with his index finger: "What place has been the most chaotic throughout history? Brothels. I'm sending you to a real estate sales office, where you'll be dealing with respectable clients every day. How will you see the true nature of people there? Only in places where all sorts of people gather can you develop your insight and shrewdness, and learn the real ways to make a living."

That makes sense.

The sales office has a simple environment, and most of the customers who come and go are well-behaved.

Clubs are different from other places.

It includes wealthy bosses, local thugs, and all sorts of weirdos.

Even if you don't want to learn, if you stay in that kind of place for a long time, you will naturally be able to understand people's hearts and deal with all kinds of situations.

"but……"

Zhao Hongqi changed the subject: "Going to a KTV means starting from the bottom and working your way up. If you really can't handle the hardship..."

Before he could finish speaking, I patted my chest and interrupted him: "Brother, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I can handle any job, no matter how tiring or complicated. I will never let you down."

I understand that he didn't want to directly reveal our relationship.

Once his subordinates know that I am his trusted brother, they will deliberately accommodate and favor me in every way, and I will never be able to develop any real skills.

Furthermore, by suddenly elevating me to a high position out of thin air, those old brothers who have followed him through thick and thin for many years will inevitably feel resentful and find it difficult to gain the respect of the masses.

Zhao Hongqi was taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "You little brat, what do you know? Is that what I meant? What I meant was..."

At this point, he waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, judging from your expression, you're determined to do this. I'll have Old Ghost take you over later, and you'll start over as a regular waiter."

"The base salary is 2,800 yuan a month. There are commissions on drinks and fruit platters. You get 15 yuan for each case of beer sold, and the commission for imported liquor is higher. In addition, all the tips given by customers are yours. The store provides two meals a day and four days off per month."

Don't be fooled by the base salary of only 2,800 a month. In this industry, it's all about commissions. Some people can earn more than 10,000 or 20,000 a month.

Especially those beer girls, some of them don't even have a base salary, but they can earn fifty or sixty thousand a month.

If you're willing to go out with guests, earning 100,000 a month is no problem.

When I was working at Yunding Logistics, I often treated the CEOs to foot massages.

Many foot massage girls drive Mercedes-Benz or BMWs to work.

……

Soon, Lao Gui led me to Hongyun KTV, a subsidiary of Qiangsheng Group.

"Thanks, Brother Gui."

After getting off the bus, I thanked Lao Gui.

"We're brothers, no need to thank me."

Old Gui smiled and waved his hand: "You said he's Mr. Zhao's brother, and he even saved Mr. Zhao's life. Mr. Zhao saved my life, so saving him is the same as saving me. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

After exchanging a few words with the old man, he asked me if I wanted to stay in the staff dormitory. If not, I could just report for duty tomorrow. Today, he was just showing me around and explaining the rules.

After saying that, he asked me, "I don't start work until tomorrow, today is my day off. Should I find you a few girls to welcome you back?"

I smiled and shook my head, saying no need.

It's not that I'm being aloof, it's just that we'll all be colleagues from now on, and it feels a bit strange to be working with my own colleagues.

It would be so awkward if we kept running into each other all the time.

On the first day, I went to Hongyun KTV early in the morning to apply for a job.

I was greeted by my supervisor, Zhang Qiang.

The man, in his thirties, seemed to have spent too much time working in KTVs, giving off a sleazy vibe, unlike Su Wan, the club manager, who appeared more composed.

It's also possible that they deliberately set it up for me to see.

After all, many people like to give newcomers a hard time, especially in places like this.

"You're Chen An?"

He held my ID card and looked me up and down.

The look in his eyes made me very uncomfortable, like I was looking at a useless husband whose wife had cheated on him.

Moreover, this husband is a cuckold who personally sent his wife away.

But since I have to make a living under their control, no matter how uncomfortable I feel, I can only endure it.

I can't have a falling out with my colleagues on my first day here.

This is also the purpose of my coming here to gain experience.

After all, you'll encounter all sorts of people in the future, especially guests who have had too much to drink.

If I were to get into a fight with someone over a couple of disagreements, then there would be no point in me being here.

"You know me?" I asked, surprised.

Zhang Qiang didn't reply to me, but instead asked, "Who is Su Wan to you?"

"My cousin's wife."

"It really is you, buddy."

Zhang Qiang immediately chuckled: "You looked familiar the moment I saw you. Your cousin's wife used to work at the Shenghua Club, right?"

I'll fuck your mother.

I knew it! That's why that beast looked at me like that.

Although I told myself to stay calm, I couldn't stand what he said, and I glared at him with a dark expression.

Say it again.

Zhang Qiang was taken aback, clearly not expecting me to speak so bluntly.

"You're pretty arrogant, kid. Do you even know where you are?"

"Hongyun KTV".

Zhang Qiang was stunned again: "You fucking..."

"Stop swearing all the time, get to the point."

The thought that he said Su Wan was a prostitute made me so angry I couldn't control myself.

I was being lenient by not slapping him twice.

There were quite a few people in the office. When they saw that I, the newcomer, was arguing with the supervisor as soon as I arrived, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at us.

"Wow, this newbie's pretty tough, he's already arguing with the manager right away."

"He was young and naive, thinking that once he got the job, everything would be fine. Little did he know what Zhang Quan would do to him."

"After there's a good show to watch."

Zhang Qiang originally wanted to give me a hard time, but I didn't give him any face at all.

Especially since his colleagues were watching, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Damn it, kid, what are you bragging about! You think I won't fuck you?"

He slammed his hand on the table and glared at me.

I didn't say anything, I just stared straight at him.

Look, we're about to fight, and our colleagues who were watching quickly came over to break it up.

An older man dressed as a waiter quickly stepped between us, took out cigarettes, and gave one to each of us, smiling as he offered them to us.

"Alright, alright, Brother Qiang, don't get angry with the newbie. He's young and hot-blooded and doesn't know any better."

He turned to look at me and kept giving me meaningful glances.

"Brother, Qiang was just joking, don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he took out another pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into Zhang Qiang's pocket: "Brother Qiang, let it go, we're all colleagues, it's not good to make a big fuss."

With several people around him persuading him, Zhang Qiang finally had a way out.

He gave me a cold look and said, "You just wait, kid."

Then they left.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the others also dispersed.

I turned to the man who had spoken up for me earlier and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help earlier, sir."

As I spoke, I took out an unopened pack of cigarettes and handed it to him.

This pack of cigarettes was prepared for me by Zhang Dongting. She gave me two cartons of He Tianxia cigarettes, saying it was to help me get along well with my new colleagues.

If he hadn't smoothed things over, I think I would have gotten into a fight with Zhang Qiang.

"Don't always call me 'brother,' it makes me sound old. My name is Ma Wencai, you can just call me Old Ma."

As he spoke, he glanced down at the cigarette I offered him, clicked his tongue, and said, "He Tianxia, ​​huh? So high-end, are you planning to buy it for your new colleagues?"

I nodded, without denying it.

Ma Wencai didn't stand on ceremony with me. He put a cigarette in his mouth, and I quickly lit it for him.

He gave me an approving look, then asked, puzzled, "You've got a good eye, haven't you? Why did you get into a fight with Zhang Qiang just now?"

I didn't hide anything and said, "He said my sister-in-law was a prostitute, and I couldn't help myself."

Ma Wencai clicked his tongue: "Then you absolutely mustn't offend him. Do you even know who his godmother is?"
