Chapter 197 Quickly Agree
Liu Xiong spoke meaningfully,
"Ah Jie, I know you have some concerns right now, but I want to tell you that I didn't intervene or stop you when you hit Liu Yang because I wasn't angry."
"Ah Jie, don't feel guilty or sorry for me."
Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected Liu Xiong to bring up this matter again.
He tried to explain further, but Liu Xiong interrupted him by raising his hand.
"Ah Jie, you may not know this, but the reason Liu Yang is the way he is now is because I had him late in life and spoiled him too much."
"He was spoiled since childhood and became arrogant and conceited. I have been trying to teach him a lesson, but I have never been able to bring myself to be strict with him."
"Today, I not only don't blame you, but I'm also sincerely grateful to you. It's you who made him realize that there are always people more capable than him. You're helping him, and you're helping me too!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiong lowered his head, picked up the teapot, and refilled Ma Junjie's teacup, all while Ma Junjie looked on in astonishment.
The aroma of the tea became even more mellow and lingering.
After pouring the tea, Liu Xiong continued,
"Ah Jie, outsiders may think that I, Liu Xiong, am a bit of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) type, but actually, I am very approachable, reasonable, and I really appreciate talent."
"Ah Jie, I've lived most of my life and met many people, but you are one of the rare talents I've ever met."
Hearing Liu Xiong say that, Ma Junjie felt a little ashamed.
He shook his head and said,
"Uncle Liu, please don't say that. I'm just an ordinary worker."
"In other words, Liu Yang calling me a country bumpkin isn't entirely wrong, although it's not a very nice thing to hear."
Liu Xiong smiled upon hearing this.
"Hehe, Ah Jie, you're quite humorous."
"It seems you still don't realize how excellent you are."
"In my opinion, your composure and magnanimity in the face of Liu Yang's provocation demonstrate your calmness; your skillful and skillful handling of the fight shows your wisdom; and your humility in not becoming arrogant afterwards shows your modesty. What's even more commendable is that you considered both Jialing and me, which shows your thoughtfulness."
"Ah Jie, the clarity and composure you displayed in the series of events just now far surpasses that of your peers, and is even more impressive than those who have lived for decades."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
He hadn't expected Liu Xiong to praise him so highly.
He was momentarily reserved and could only tactfully lower his head and take a sip of tea.
Ma Junjie remained silent, unsure how to respond.
Suddenly, Liu Xiong spoke again.
"Ah Jie, I hope you'll promise me what I'm about to do."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie curiously raised his head and stared at Liu Xiong.
"Uncle Liu, what...what is it? Tell me."
Liu Xiong smiled and said,
"Ah Jie, I own a club called 'Heaven on Earth.' It's been open for many years and business has always been good, but recently there have been some problems and the manager position is vacant."
After all that buildup, Liu Xiong is finally getting to the point.
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable seriousness.
"The position of manager not only involves managing daily operations, but also dealing with all kinds of customers and handling various emergencies. It requires both skill and principle."
"Ah Jie, through my observation over this period of time, I've found that you are the most suitable candidate to be a manager."
"What?" Ma Junjie looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He initially thought he had misheard, and said...
"Uncle Liu, you...you're joking with me, right?"
"I've never even considered a managerial position, nor would I dare to aspire to it."
"To put it bluntly, all I know how to do in the countryside is farming and manual labor. I can't possibly take on the responsibility of managing a clubhouse."
Ma Junjie was very self-aware. When he realized that Liu Xiong was trying to make him a manager, he didn't hesitate at all and his first reaction was to refuse decisively.
He thought to himself, "A clubhouse like that requires such a huge investment!"
I don't know anything about it, and I don't understand the club's operating model.
If you take over the job just because you hear nice things, wouldn't that be harming Liu Xiong?
Ma Junjie knew the serious consequences of this matter.
But Liu Xiong seemed very calm, appearing to trust Ma Junjie completely, and said...
"Ah Jie, how do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried?"
"You are responsible, have a sense of propriety, and remain calm in the face of adversity. You already possess the most essential qualities of a manager."
"Of course, if you're worried about not knowing how at first, don't worry, I can teach you, Jia Ling, she'll always be there to help you!"
"And..." Liu Xiong chuckled, adding,
"Ah Jie, if you're worried about the salary, then there's absolutely no need to worry."
"I can assure you in advance that as long as you take over, regardless of how well you do, you will be guaranteed a minimum monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, plus year-end bonuses, and a portion of the club's shares can also be reserved for you."
"Twenty thousand yuan a month?" Ma Junjie's mind suddenly went blank.
This was a treatment he never dared to dream of.
I currently earn 2000 a month, which is only 20,000 a year.
That is,
If I really agree to Liu Xiong's offer, then working for one month will be equivalent to working for a year now.
Lying trough,
You wouldn't know unless you thought about it, and it's really shocking.
As for the dividends and shares that Liu Xiong mentioned, Ma Junjie didn't understand them and wasn't particularly interested.
All he knew was that a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan was already incredibly high.
Seeing that Ma Junjie seemed hesitant and deep in thought,
Liu Xiong smiled knowingly; he felt that persuading him by talking about money might be effective.
So he smiled and continued,
"Ah Jie, didn't you say before that your biggest wish right now is to make more money?"
"Weren't you waiting to make some money so you could go back and build a house for your brother?"
"If you continue working at Jialing's factory and want to build a house, you'll have to wait ten or even twenty years."
"You can wait for a house, but time waits for no one. Your brother will get old too, so you need to start making money as early as possible!"
Ma Junjie listened, lost in thought, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily a few times.
He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is also an opportunity to realize one's dreams.
This opportunity felt like a dream come true, presented right in front of me.
How should I choose?
Ma Junjie was momentarily hesitant and unsure of what to do.
Jiang Hao, who was standing to the side, was also very shocked. He saw that Ma Junjie remained silent.
He gently shook his head, and couldn't help but click his tongue in disapproval.
"Brother Xiong, I really didn't expect you to give the manager position of 'Heaven on Earth' to Ah Jie!"
"Hehe, Ah Jie probably doesn't know, Brother Xiong, your 'Heaven on Earth' is one of the top old-established clubs in Dongguan. Countless people would kill for it, and some are even willing to work as waiters serving drinks and tea."
"Ah Jie, now that Xiong Ge is offering you the manager position, this... this is like a pie falling from the sky, no, it's like your ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"
"Ah Jie, don't hesitate, just agree!"
Hearing Jiang Hao say this, Ma Junjie slowly raised his head to look at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao suddenly froze.
To reiterate,
"Ah Jie, if you trust me, just say yes."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it will absolutely propel you to great heights, making you a top figure!"
Ma Junjie listened expressionlessly.
After a while,
He swallowed a few times, paused, and then said...
