Chapter 198 Tell Me About Your
Ma Junjie spoke slowly.
"Uncle Liu, thank you for your high regard, but... I'm still sorry, I'm not up to the task."
"The position of manager carries too much responsibility. I dare not take risks on things I am not confident about."
"If I mess this up, not only will I betray your trust, but more importantly, it will affect your club's business. I would feel guilty about that."
Ma Junjie spoke these words with sincerity and earnestness, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.
How many people get excited when they hear about a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, plus unseen bonuses?
However, Ma Junjie remained very calm. He knew that power and benefits inevitably come with corresponding responsibilities.
I don't have the skills, so I really don't dare to take on this difficult task.
Liu Xiong listened silently, his expression gradually shifting from shock to calm, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
Upon hearing Ma Junjie's refusal, Liu Xiong showed no displeasure.
He smiled faintly.
He nodded slightly and said with great emotion,
"Ah Jie, I really admire you."
"So many people are scrambling to curry favor with me, trying to get a job by my side, but you, haha, to put it bluntly, you're a real oddball!"
"Ah Jie, although you rejected me, I still want to tell you that I admire your down-to-earth nature—you're not greedy or reckless, which is truly admirable!"
Ma Junjie gave an awkward smile.
"Uncle Liu, you flatter me. I am just very clear about my own abilities and have self-awareness."
"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, I..."
Liu Xiong raised his hand to interrupt Ma Junjie.
"Alright, Ah Jie, you don't need to say anymore."
"Since you don't want to be the manager, I won't force you."
Liu Xiong knew that forcing things wouldn't work, so he didn't force anyone.
He simply turned to look at Jiang Hao, a smile playing on his lips.
"Jiang Hao, you said you had some good news to tell A-Jie, now it's your turn."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately perked up; his eyes lit up.
He leaned forward, patted his chest, and said to Ma Junjie...
"Ah Jie, you turned down the offer from Xiong Ge to be your manager, and I... I'm suddenly a little embarrassed to tell you this."
Liu Xiong said,
"Jiang Hao, just say it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Ma Junjie also said.
"Brother Hao, that's right, just say what you want to say."
Jiang Hao gave an awkward smile, paused, and then said...
"Then...then I'll tell you."
"Ah Jie, it's like this, Xiong Ge is the manager here, and although my position isn't as high, it's still a lucrative job!"
"As you know, I own a Blue Moon Entertainment City, and business is doing alright. However, we're currently short of a security captain, and after much thought, I think you're the perfect fit!"
Ma Junjie was stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Hao also wanted him to work at his club, and as the security captain.
"Brother Hao, what's wrong with you...?"
"Let me finish!" Jiang Hao interrupted Ma Junjie, speaking excitedly.
"My Blue Moon, although it can't compare to Brother Xiong's Heaven on Earth, still has a considerable number of customers. Security has always been a worry for me."
"The previous team leader was slow and inefficient, and his subordinates were disorganized and incompetent. Last time, when guests caused trouble at the club, the team leader was even beaten up by the guests."
"Ah Jie, you're skilled, can handle any situation, and are sensible, calm, and reliable. If you were to be the security captain, I would have complete peace of mind!"
Ma Junjie was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.
Liu Xiong laughed when he saw Ma Junjie's reaction.
He said to Jiang Hao,
"Jiang Hao, you're dreaming! You think you can relax and sleep soundly just by hiring someone like Ma Junjie as the security captain?"
"Stop with the nonsense and get straight to the point: how much salary do you pay A-Jie each month?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao gave an awkward smile.
"Brother Xiong, you...you're being too direct. It's making me a little embarrassed."
"Your Heaven and Earth are rich and powerful, but I... Blue Moon, can't possibly compare to you."
"But don't worry, Ah Jie, as long as you come, I'll give you the best treatment."
Jiang Hao's eyes darted around, and he pondered for a moment.
Said,
"Okay, Ah Jie, I'll offer you a monthly salary of ten thousand, plus all kinds of insurance, and..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Hao.
"Jiang Hao, aren't you being a bit too stingy, boss?"
"Ah Jie, you only offered 10,000? When I said 20,000 before, that was a conservative estimate. You, on the other hand, only offered 10,000 for the best treatment?"
"Jiang Hao, you're not a reliable person."
Jiang Hao felt a cold sweat break out on his back as he listened.
He hadn't expected that his first formidable opponent today wouldn't be Ma Junjie, but rather Liu Xiong.
It seems Liu Xiong is deliberately raising the price for Ma Junjie.
This put Jiang Hao in a difficult position.
At this moment, Carina Lau also spoke up.
"Brother Hao, ten thousand yuan is indeed too little. Your family is big and your business is large, you should be more generous."
"Especially someone as talented as A-Jie should be given the top salary."
Jiang Hao gave an awkward smile and nodded.
"Jialing, Xiong-ge, I humbly accept everything you said."
"However, listen to me, I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to giving Ah Jie a monthly salary of 10,000, I also give him year-end and year-end bonuses of no less than 100,000."
"Of course, just like Xiong Ge, I will also give out dividends. As long as the company performs well, the annual income will definitely be quite considerable."
Liu Xiong smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Jiang Hao, that's passable."
"Hahaha!" Jiang Hao burst into laughter.
"Brother Xiong, compared to you I'm just a tiny ant, but because I'm Ah Jie, I'll do my best and give it my all!"
Carina Lau looked at Ma Junjie and asked,
"Ah Jie, what do you think?"
"Brother Hao's treatment is barely acceptable!"
Ma Junjie listened, nodded slightly, and then asked,
"Brother Hao, I can basically accept the salary and benefits."
"However, I have the same problem as Xiong Ge: I've never done this kind of work before, and I'm worried that I won't be able to do it well, and that it will affect your business..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao burst into laughter.
"Ah Jie, you don't need to worry about that at all."
"It's understandable that you feel a heavy responsibility as Xiong Ge's manager."
"But if you're going to be my security captain, just relax, ride your horse to your post, and do your job boldly."
Ma Junjie noticed that Jiang Hao seemed relaxed, but he still wanted to clarify things.
He asked
"Brother Hao, I'd like to ask, what exactly does the security captain do?"
Jiang Hao chuckled.
"Ah Jie, your job is very simple. I don't need you to worry about those complicated operational details. Just take care of the security team's training and daily security work, and keep the scene in check when there are disturbances."
Fearing that Ma Junjie might still have reservations, Jiang Hao quickly added,
"Don't worry, the security team will all be under your command. I will absolutely not interfere with your management, and if anything happens, I'll back you up!"
Ma Junjie nodded, indicating that he understood.
For a moment, the living room fell silent.
All eyes were on Ma Junjie.
Jiang Hao looked expectant, while Carina Lau remained expressionless, though her eyes held a hint of curiosity.
Liu Xiong, on the other hand, remained calm, as if he had already anticipated Ma Junjie's choice.
Ma Junjie lowered his head in thought, his brows furrowing slightly.
After a while, Jiang Hao couldn't hold back any longer and asked impatiently.
"Ah Jie, how's it going? What's your decision?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie slowly raised his head, glanced around, and noticed that everyone was staring at him.
Ma Junjie looked at Jiang Hao and slowly began to speak...
