I nodded and said, "Yes."
Because my purpose was to spoil the interview, I deliberately said something bad, hoping to leave a very bad impression on him.
I added: "I was in jail for extortion and I was in jail for four years."
Lin Chuyao hurriedly explained for me: "Manager Ma, he was framed. He did not extort. There was a misunderstanding."
Manager Ma didn't speak, but stared at me in the eyes.
Naturally, I pretended to be careless and looked at him with that sullen look on purpose, as if I was proud of being in jail.
Manager Ma frowned slightly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing deep in his eyes.
Obviously, he looks down upon people like me.
After a moment, he asked again: "What are your specialties?"
"You don't have any special skills. You know how to fight, and you're pretty ruthless in fights, right?"
My answer obviously surprised Lin Chuyao next to me, and she turned to look at me.
Then he gently kicked me under the table with his foot, which meant that I should take this interview seriously.
Manager Ma's frown deepened. He looked at Lin Chuyao and then at me, wondering what he was thinking about there.
"Manager Ma, he used to study very well. He was in the first few grades. If he hadn't been framed back then and took the 985 and 211 exams casually, he would have had hope even at Tsinghua University and Peking University. He has a very good brain. I think you With a little training, he probably won’t let you down.”
Lin Chuyao tried her best to help me restore my image. It seemed that she was eager for me to come here to work.
Manager Ma didn't speak, but tapped his fingers on the desk a few times.
A few seconds later, he smiled at Lin Chuyao and said: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, your parents have such a good relationship with our Mr. Guo, I will definitely reserve this spot for you. So, let him come to work the day after tomorrow. First Can you give it a try by interning here for half a month?"
Lin Chuyao immediately nodded happily: "Okay, okay, thank you very much, Manager Ma."
And I felt a little bit dumbfounded in my heart:
I thought I was such a fool, but Manager Ma actually gave me a chance?
Not giving up, I continued to think of ways.
Then I asked Manager Ma what the job content was, how many days off a week, and what the salary was like. Anyway, no matter what he said, I said that I might not be suitable, or not very satisfied with the salary and holidays, as much as possible To piss him off.
Manager Ma was quite calm. No matter what I said, he always said that he would give me a chance and try it out first.
In desperation, I had to ask for Manager Ma’s contact information and said I would go back and think about it.
When Lin Chuyao and I walked out of the office area and walked downstairs to the tram, Lin Chuyao looked at me angrily: "Zhang Yang, did you do this on purpose?"
I pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the intention?"
"Stop pretending to me. You know what I'm talking about. After I beat you in, your attitude was not correct and you picked out the bad ones. Aren't you just waiting for him to reject you?"
"I just explained my situation clearly to him, so that others will not know that I am not good or that is not good. What will happen if it affects your future job? You..."
"You did it on purpose!" Lin Chuyao interrupted me and said angrily: "I think you don't want to come to work here at all. Since you didn't want to come here in the first place, why did you agree to it?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you let me work at Royal International? Look back..."
"No! I don't care. Anyway, they have agreed to take you in. You must come to work here conscientiously, and your work attitude must be correct after you come here. Don't mess around, okay?"
I thought Lin Chuyao was angry, and I could secretly call Manager Ma to handle the matter.
So I just nodded and said I understand.
"Then let's make an agreement. If you don't come to work, or if you don't work seriously when you come, I will be very angry."
"Um."
At this moment, Lin Chuyao's cell phone rang, and her mother called her to urge her to go home for dinner.
Then the two of us stopped talking about this topic. I sent her home and hurried towards Royal International.
On the way, I took the time to call Manager Ma and told him what I meant.
Manager Ma seemed to find it ridiculous after hearing this. He said with a slight sneer: "You mean, you didn't want to work here at all, you just agreed to come to the interview because she had no other choice?"
"Yes, I'm really sorry to bother you."
"Then I can find a reason to reject your interview directly?" he continued to ask.
"Well, Manager Ma can say that the boss thinks it's inappropriate for me to have been in prison, or that there is no suitable position for me at the moment, or that I'm not qualified or something."
To my surprise, Manager Ma agreed simply: "Okay, is there anything else? If not, I will hang up."
"No, thank you, Manager Ma, for your help."
After hanging up the phone, I thought that Manager Ma was a happy person and could get it done so easily.
As for why he was so happy, I think it had something to do with my poor performance today.
From the bottom of his heart, he doesn’t want people like me to work in the company, right?
Since Lin Chuyao and I went for an interview, it was already late when we arrived at Royal International in the evening.
This also just created another opportunity for Yuan Wen. Yuan Wen first scolded me in the corridor in front of other people, and then naturally took me to Liu He's place, where she sued me a lot. state.
She said that I always get into fights and cause trouble, and I often arrive late and leave early to ask for leave. Their KTV department can no longer accommodate me.
Liu He hoped that I could continue to stay in the KTV department, but I pretended to be angry with Yuan Wen and said that I didn't care about staying in the KTV department. I told Liu He that I wanted to go to the bathing department.
Liu He didn't think much and quickly agreed.
Then he asked Yuan Wen to leave and asked me to stay in his office, saying that he had something to tell me.
"Zhang Yang, you have only been here at Royal International for a few days, and you have caused a lot of things."
Liu He was smoking a cigarette and looking at me with squinted eyes.
In my opinion, what he said was a compliment to me, and he seemed to be very satisfied with my performance.
"Mr. Liu, I am also helpless. They always bully me."
"Young people with no background like you are always causing trouble here. Logically speaking, you should have been beaten up and kicked out of the Royal International. You are fine until now. Do you know the reason?"
I naturally understood what Liu He meant, and I said flatteringly: "Of course Mr. Liu has been protecting me. I would like to thank Mr. Liu."
"I'm not a philanthropist, and I certainly didn't help you in vain."
"I know this. If Mr. Liu has any instructions in the future, just tell him."
Liu He nodded with satisfaction.
Then he opened the drawer next to him and took out an envelope.
There was probably money in the envelope. Judging from the thickness, it was about 5,000 yuan.
"You can spend this little money. If you go to Chen Gang's eyes and ears, please be alert to me. If you hear anything about Chen Gang, remember to report it to me. Do you understand?"
I was not polite to Liu He and went over to accept the money: "I understand."
"Don't just think about causing trouble everywhere. It will be difficult for you if you provoke too many people. I may not be able to help you solve the problem every time. You should slowly develop relationships with your colleagues and make more friends. Brother Tie, come and strengthen yourself. If you do well later, maybe if I talk, Chen Gang will have to get off the stage, and I will help you up."
Liu He was obviously doing me a favor here, so I pretended to be flattered and expressed my gratitude again.
"Okay, go pack your things and go to the bathroom."
"Okay Mr. Liu."
When I came out of Liu He's office, my cell phone rang suddenly.
Someone texted me.
I picked it up and saw that it was from Lin Chuyao.
When I saw the content of the text message, I was even more dumbfounded.
"Zhang Yang, I'm so disappointed in you."
