The girl at the front desk of the hotel apartment who handled the formalities for him was very puzzled. Most people who rented this kind of apartment for a long time wrote a check directly. This was the first time she saw someone generously renting a house. When paying the deposit, she didn't have enough money to swipe the card.
She took some change from her pocket to make up the money! Although she didn't ask more questions out of politeness and didn't laugh, she couldn't help but look at Cheng Tianle with curious and questioning eyes. Cheng Tianle was thick-skinned and smiled as if he hadn't seen it.
.
Cheng Tianle's annual salary is said to be 100,000, but after deducting taxes and fees every month, the insurance received is less than 7,000. He lives alone and can rent a cheaper house. Why should he be so extravagant? This is actually
"Mouse"'s idea. When Cheng Tianle was choosing a house, he was concentrating on entering the country. He had been discussing with "Mouse" which is the most suitable place to practice.
The two places chosen by "Mouse" were actually the most expensive, and Cheng Tianle rented the relatively cheaper one. This is on the 16th floor. When you open the curtains, you can see the rippling Jinji Lake. The scenery is
The view is very good. Not far to the left is Peach Blossom Island in the lake, and not far to the right is Linglong Island. The two islands in the lake exactly form an equilateral triangle with the location of Cheng Tianle's residence.
It makes sense that "Rat" likes this place. As a spiritual being, it can sense the environment much more clearly than ordinary people. When Cheng Tianle came here to adjust his breath, he really felt that his spirit was stable and his energy was running better than usual.
Comfortable. What’s even rarer is that you can not only cook your own meals in a hotel-style apartment like this, but you can also call for free room service regularly, such as cleaning, changing sheets, etc. Cheng Tianle, a bachelor and "general manager", only lives here in line with his status.
Well.
After finishing all this work, Cheng Tianle drove back to the "Menghu Beautiful Frog" restaurant on Guanqian Street, just in time for dinner. Although he will be the general manager next month, his current identity is still a hotel busboy.
Go to work as soon as possible when you are busiest. He was very grateful to Boss Wu and simply didn’t know how to repay him. He could only work hard for Boss Wu in the last few days before leaving the hotel.
As soon as Cheng Tianle entered the hotel, Wu Xiaoxi jumped out and grabbed his arm and said: "How was the result of today's application? We are all waiting for your news!...Master Fan said, the longer the conversation lasts during the interview,
, it means that the more interested the unit is in you, the greater the possibility of being hired. If you have been there for so long, it must be no problem!"
Cheng Tianle asked with a smile: "Really, is there such a thing? Then when I applied for a job in your hotel, why was the time so short?"
Wu Xiaoxi punched him and said, "When did you learn to be a talker? As soon as you walked in, I thought you looked a bit strange. Have you really become the general manager?"
Cheng Tianle replied confidently: "Yes, I am very lucky to be hired. I will start work on the 1st of next month."
Wu Xiaoxi suddenly gave him a hug and let out a scream of joy, like a happy little skylark. The guests dining in the lobby were startled and turned their heads to look over. And all the waiters in the restaurant
, whether it was the person serving the plate or the one holding the menu, when they heard Wu Xiaoxi's cheers, they all understood what had happened - Cheng Tianle, who usually shouted around and did odd jobs, suddenly turned into the general manager!
Cheng Tianle was a little uncomfortable with Wu Xiaoxi's sudden affectionate behavior. It could be seen that Xiaoxi was unintentional and was just happy for him. He had no other intentions, but his face turned red. At this time, Master Fan was also carrying a frying spoon.
He came out of the kitchen and asked: "Cheng Tianle, no, Mr. Cheng, are you back?" Soon after, Song Chunlai from the kitchen, and Shi Qiang, the waiter upstairs, also ran into the hall, with excited but doubtful expressions.
Said: "Cheng Tianle, have you really become the general manager?"
Everyone's expressions ranged from pleasant surprise to envy, and some even showed a hint of disappointment. Cheng Tianle, a temporary handyman, successfully returned from applying for a job. Wu Xiaoxi announced the news with a cheer, and the whole hotel was in a bit of chaos. Boss Wu Yan
Qing appeared out of nowhere, waved and said: "Why are you making noise during working hours? Go and work honestly! ...Cheng Tianle, no, Mr. Cheng, go sit in the private room upstairs and I will celebrate you!"
"
Master Fan also waved the frying spoon and said: "What did you do? The working hours are messy, go back to work! ...Song Chunlai, aren't you making soup? Why don't you even look at the fire?" Song Chunlai pouted and muttered softly.
Said: "You were the first one to rush out of the kitchen, and you are talking about me?"
Cheng Tianle followed Boss Wu upstairs and entered a private room with a small round table for six people. The food and wine had been set. Of course, in the middle was the restaurant's signature dish - steaming and delicious griddle frogs. But there were only
Two sets of dishes.
As soon as Cheng Tianle entered the room, he asked with some confusion: "Boss, do you already know the result of my application? Have you prepared all this?"
Boss Wu patted him on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile: "I know you, as long as you go, can you still succeed? So I have already laid out the celebration wine."
Cheng Tianle also smiled and said: "Even if it doesn't succeed, the boss can still comfort me, right?"
They both laughed and sat down. People's mentality is so strange. If it were in the morning, Cheng Tianle would not dare to be so casual with Boss Wu, but after going out and coming back, he seemed to have more confidence. After all, his identity
It’s different. Big or small counts. Boss Wu was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to pour wine for Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle hurriedly left his seat and grabbed the bottle and said: "Boss, how can I ask you to pour me wine? I will do it."
Pour the wine!"
While drinking, the unscrupulous Cheng Tianle truthfully told the story of today's job application, including the treatment at Feiteng Company and the matter of looking for a house in the afternoon. Boss Wu felt relieved and secretly praised Mr. Hua for being really resourceful, but on the surface he
With a look of great relief, he complimented and encouraged you from time to time, and said generously: "Are you going to rent a house? In fact, you can live in our dormitory, but it's a bit far away and it doesn't suit your current status.
You’re going to work next month. You’re not familiar with Suzhou, do you have any difficulties? Don’t be polite to me, just ask!”
Cheng Tianle really dared to speak. He said shamelessly and embarrassedly: "Boss, I'm really in a bit of trouble. If possible, I would like to borrow some money from you."
Boss Wu: “How much do you want to borrow?”
Cheng Tianle: "The apartment I rent pays quarterly rent, which is 10,000 yuan per quarter. I only paid the deposit and haven't paid the first quarter's rent yet. I already have no money. Although I will still have last month's rent in a few days.
The salary is one thousand and fifty, but it’s still not enough. So I want to borrow some money from my boss first, just ten thousand, and I’ll definitely pay it back before the end of the year.”
Boss Wu slapped the table and said, "How can ten thousand be enough? I'll lend you twenty thousand! I'm not in a hurry to pay it back. I'll wait until I have more money. You're going to be the general manager, so you have to buy some decent clothes."
After dinner, I went to the mall to buy some clothes."
Cheng Tianle was so excited that he spilled the wine in his hand, and quickly poured wine for Boss Wu, saying thank you repeatedly. He didn't feel bad about himself, but Boss Wu's tone had changed significantly. If he still
It might not be easy for a busboy in a hotel to borrow money from his boss, let alone borrow ten thousand to twenty thousand. But he didn't know that Wu Yanqing had the intention of sending the god out quickly.
Cheng Tianle and Wu Yanqing enjoyed today's meal, especially Cheng Tianle. He was even happier than the last banquet he went to Mr. Hua. He drank a lot of wine but was not drunk at all. After the meal, Boss Wu asked for someone to give him a drink.
Cheng Tianle brought 20,000 yuan in cash. The time was around 7:30 in the evening. The hotel was located in Guanqian Street, the busiest commercial district in Suzhou. There were several large shopping malls and many clothing stores nearby. Cheng Tianle took the money and went
Get ready to go out and buy clothes.
Wu Xiaoxi slipped over again and asked: "Cheng Tianle, why are you going?"
Cheng Tianle replied: "Go to the mall and buy a pair of clothes for work, preferably casual suits."
When signing the contract in the personnel department, Manager Yang also briefly talked about the dress code of the foreign exchange trading department. It should be formal but not too casual, but not too formal. Because they all work in the middle of the night, if they wear dark formal suits,
The tie looked too much like a thug in a Hong Kong gangster movie. Women all love shopping. When Wu Xiaoxi heard this, he perked up, grabbed Cheng Tianle's arm and said, "You are a grown man, what kind of clothes would you choose?"
I'll go with you to help advise you."
Of course Cheng Tianle was happy to have a beautiful woman accompany him to the mall and help pick out clothes. He was about to agree happily, but unexpectedly Boss Wu came downstairs and said, "Xiaoxi, why are you joining in the fun? Just stay in the hotel.
, go home early after work!" Then he turned around and smiled at Cheng Tianle: "Mr. Cheng, how about I find a few waiters to accompany you shopping?...Forget it, they can't do it either, I'll go with you myself.
.”
Cheng Tianle quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I can go by myself, and I can buy clothes." Drinking with Boss Wu is okay, but asking him to go shopping and buy clothes with him is too awkward.
Cheng Tianle was a little touched. Boss Wu was willing to lend him a BMW to drive and generously lent him 20,000 yuan, but he was unwilling to see Wu Xiaoxi go shopping with him. This attitude was not due to his position and status.
changes due to changes.
In the next few days, Cheng Tianle still worked as a handyman in the hotel. He rushed to do any chores he could see, but he was much more leisurely than before, because no one in the hotel had the nerve to boss him around anymore. For example, in the lobby
When mopping the floor, a waiter would come over and say, "Mr. Cheng, this is my job, why am I so embarrassed to ask you to help me?"
Some people's tone is joking, some people's tone is really embarrassed, and some people's tone is sour. This makes Cheng Tianle feel quite complicated, always a little weird, like an actor who has played the wrong role.
Sometimes he would inexplicably think of what Bi Mingjun, the CEO of Feiteng Investment, said to him.
