Chapter 68 - A rare guest (1/2)
Translator: Lionwwang Editor: Lionwwang
Penny’s face looks as if she has just seen the company go bankrupt. She throws the newspaper aside and stares at me, even almost unable to speak: “Chen Yang… I didn’t expect you could do such a thing. Such an extraordinary move… It’s so… Absurd!”
I and Yanny are sitting in front of her. Yanny is too shame to raise her head.
The underwear show last night was caused an unprecedented sensation in the mall. Someone posted the photos on the Internet, and this morning’s newspaper immediately publishes a news with several large photos.
The first one is a girl dressed in sexy underwear and dancing in the shape of her hip.
Following is a bold large font: “Performing, or making sensations?”
This news is not long. It is probably a description of the whole underwear show last night, focusing on some of the hot scenes. Then the journalist who wrote the news made a dignified appearance, like a social morality expert, who mocked such an extraordinary behavior and accused the public of such “vulgar” activities, which were ‘ugly behaviors’. At the same time, entered into the relevant departments which specially criticized such public activities. Some mockeries have been made on the departments which are in charge of approve such activities in public places, believing that they should strengthen the standards of auditing and not allow such bad and vulgar things to “pollute the people’s eyes”.
Penny is very upset. She smiles bitterly: “Exmobileent! Usually we hold such business activities in order to get a small layout on the newspaper, we have to pay money. Now that you have done such a great job! We haven’t paid any penny, but have occupied the entire layout now.” She looks at Yanny, “Yanny, Chen Yang is not familiar with the company’s system. But what about you? Are you crazy, too? Don’t you know?”
I interrupt her: “Penny, can you listen to me?” I take a look at Yanny quickly and say, “This is nothing to do with her!”
After a pause, I say in slow speed: “I’m the manager of this department. I was in charge of last night’s activity and I need to take the responsibility!” Then my tongue soft a little bit, “Penny, it was an accident! If the model company arrived on time, I would not do this. At that time, it was urgency! I had no too much choice. We couldn’t let male models come on stage wearing ladies’ underwear, right?”
“My God!” Penny groans, “So you just looked for dozens of nightclub girls? Do you know if this incident is exposed, the reputation of our company is over?!”
With a sigh, Penny shows a serious look, says: “Personally, I can understand you had your reasons. But, however, it is rather improper for you to do this. So, according to the company’s regulations, I have to make some punishments to you. Of course, you may object, but Miss Fang decided before she had gone to Korea that I could have some of her authorities during her absence. Therefore, I am now dealing with your behaviors.”
Just at that time, the phone on her desk rings. She takes a look at us, says ‘wait’ in quick, and picks up the phone.
“Hello! Deep Blue Entertaiment! Yes, I am! Yes! Oh, Really? I see! Yes, Yes, Yes!”
As soon as she answers the phone, she is still looking at us. When she picks up, she stares at us for five more seconds.
Then she is smiling sweetly, says in a relax tone: “The punishments to you are: Yanny, as a communicator, you will get 5,000 for bonus. And Chen Yang, as the manager of this event, you will get 10,000. I hope you can keep up the good work for company!”
“…” I look at her, “What?”
Yanny is stunned too.
“Well,” Penny changes a slightly more pleasant smile, “Just now, the customer called to be very satisfied with the commercial activity we planned. According their statistics, before and after the underwear show last night, the number of underwear sold on the spot was three times more than expected, and all the stocks they prepared were sold out… They said they are very satisfied with our company’s planning ability and is ready to sign a two-year long-term contract with us.”
Yanny is too shock to open her mouth wide.
Penny stares at my eyes: “I’m very curious how you did that? It’s impossible! Especially, they want to know why the buyers are all men yesterday. This underwear brand is more targeting on female market.”
I sigh and smile: “If there are thirty spicy beauties are ogling and whistling and seducing, don’t mention underwear, even if the rags, I’m afraid can be sold out too!”
“…” The expression of Penny’s face is complicated. She takes a deep breath as if she is trying to suppress some impulse in her heart. Then she waves her hands to us: “Mr. Chen Yang, Please! Before I hit you with the folds on table, you’d better get out of here!”
Penny is very efficiency. The finance staff send the bonus in cash to our hands at noon. The other four women in department are both excited and curious. They also heard about the things last night. I take the thick envelope, think better of it, and take out half of the money, give to Yanny: “It’s for yours!”
She refuses firmly: “No, I’ve got mine share! It’s all your credibility last night. I can’t take more!”
I think it again, then find five envelopes, put 1000 money into each, and give to all five women. I speak to them with smile: “We made this event together, so everyone must get the bonus.” I see Yanny still wants to refuse, then I say, “If you still refuse, they also dare not to take…”
She just takes it; the other four women are all happy for that.
Although I never worked in such kind of the company, but I used to be a chief manager in nightclub and also managed many staffs.
Actually, no matter work in nightclub or work in office, the rule is the same. If you want to be a good leader, just need to follow this: Cater to superiors and treat the staffs kindly.
I ask these girls to have lunch together again. We order a bottle of the wine. The atmosphere is good. I ask them do not call me manger or Mr. Chen Yang again. It makes me a little uncomfortable. They may just call me little 5 or brother little 5.
When we back to office, these five women’s faces are all with a little red.
But in my heart, there are some emotions. Because of Peggy said just now.
“Brother little 5, although you just come here for two days, but you are really nice! You are handsome, not bigheaded, do know sharing. Hope you can always be our leader!”
I just replied with smile: “It’s lucky this time. It’s lucky we made this event successful. Otherwise, if we failed, we would all have lost. At that time, we will not only have no bonus, but also would affect our department’s performance. Our income might be reduced then.”
But I have some different feelings inside my heart. I can’t help thinking that it would be pretty good to stay at this company. Here have kindly colleagues, good working environment, and pleasant days.
I’m not a man with great ambitious. Maybe the conversation between Juan and me when he took me to the casino that night had burned some flames in my heart. I actually really moved that time. I imagined myself to get into that world, which is holding so many fortunes, standing with so many big men, and everything a man can dream about.
