Just as Chu Yifan was slowly and calmly melting the ice, Chu Yiming fell into the ice hole of life.
It had been a long time since he returned to the country. Chu Yiming seriously went to talk to his father, hoping that his father would give him a sum of money to start a company.
"You want to do business, okay?" His father smiled and said," Have you thought about it? What business do you want to do?”
"I haven't decided yet. I want to go to Tokyo first and observe the market.”Unknowingly, he had already completed his identity transformation and sounded like a boss.
"Stop dreaming!" His father's face suddenly darkened." Do you think I don't know what you usually do? Live a life of debauchery and drunkenness. You should just stay in Zhongjing obediently!”
Chu Yiming was about to explain when he was interrupted by Chu Shan.
"I've already spoken to your Uncle Lin. From tomorrow onwards, you'll be my doorman in his hotel.”
"You..." Chu Yiming was so angry that tears almost fell from his eyes. He was usually a little indecent, but wasn't it a little overkill to let an international student be a doorman?
" Not only do I have to be a doorman, but I also have to make three rules,""First, you are not allowed to tell outsiders about our relationship. Second, confiscate all your credit cards and earn your own living expenses. Third, no resignations or absenteeism. If you violate any of the above three rules, don't blame me for being rude.”
After saying that, Chu Shan flicked his sleeves and left.
Chu Yiming was stunned. Was there such a father in the world? He even suspected that she was his biological daughter.
However, despite complaining, Chu Yiming didn't dare to disobey his orders. He knew the old man's ability too well. If you really provoked him, he would be able to catch you even if you fled abroad.
The next day, Chu Yiming obediently reported to the Emperor Building.
Perhaps because he was introduced by an acquaintance, the female head of the HR department made things difficult for him. Chu Yiming had no choice but to lie and say that he was from Zhongjing. After graduating from high school, he had worked in the coastal area for a few years. Now, he wanted to return to Zhongjing to develop his career. It was not easy for him to get away with it.
After leaving the HR department, someone brought him to the logistics department to get his work uniform. After three days of simple training, he officially started work.
The Emperor Building was a five-star hotel. Perhaps it was because of the service industry, most of the employees were women. Other than a few ministers, only the security guards and doormen had more men.
The staff dormitory was arranged on the second floor. There were six people in each room, three bunk beds, a writing desk, and a television. That was all. As he had arrived late, the wardrobe had been occupied by a few employees who had arrived first. Chu Yiming had no choice but to put his clothes in the suitcase under the bed.
Ever since he was born, Chu Yiming had always lived a luxurious life. When had he ever suffered such hardship? There were a few times when he wanted to leave, but when he thought of his father's gloomy face, he could only swallow his anger and continue to persist.
The job of a doorman was very simple. Usually, he would stand at the door. If there were guests, he would welcome them, open the door, park the car, carry their luggage, and bring them to their rooms. Although the work content wasn't complicated, it was still a little unbearable for Chu Yiming, who had been living like a prince. After standing for a day, his legs felt as heavy as lead, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff from smiling. Half a month later, he gradually adapted to this kind of life.
A black Lingzhi drove over. Chu Yiming was about to go up to it when Li Qiang and Ma Yong, who were behind him, rushed in front of him. Chu Yiming knew that they wanted to earn more tips. The doormen were on a rotation system. This time, the guests should have been received by Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan, but these two fellows always bullied them because they had arrived early.
Chu Yiming wanted to rush up and argue with them, but Kou Xiaoshan pulled him back from behind. Kou Xiaoshan came from the countryside of Hong County, only two months before Chu Yiming. Among all the doormen, the two of them had the best relationship.
The car door opened, and three guests in suits got out. The leader smiled and said a few words to them. Li Qiang and Ma Yong were instantly dumbfounded. They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Chu Yifan had already understood that they were speaking Japanese with a strong Osaka accent.
"Follow me." Chu Yiming quietly pulled Kou Xiaoshan and went up to them to communicate with them in fluent Japanese.
Under Kou Xiaoshan's surprised expression, Chu Yiming brought the three Japanese guests to the front desk. After settling the check-in procedures, he helped them carry their luggage and get into the elevator under Li Qiang and Ma Yong's angry and desperate gazes.
The three Japanese guests were very generous and gave them a tip of ten dollars each.
"Chu Yiming, you're amazing. When did you learn Japanese?”
"I learned a little when I was working outside.”Chu Yiming mumbled. In fact, not only did Chu Yiming know English and Japanese, but he had also learned a little Korean.
Finally, it was lunchtime. Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan took their lunch boxes to the staff cafeteria.
There were only two tables in the restaurant. One table was filled with waiters, while the other table was filled with doormen and security guards.
After Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan finished eating, they went to their table.
"Yue Er, what movie did you watch yesterday?”Kou Xiaoshan greeted a girl at the next table.
The neighboring table was full of women, chattering and making it very lively.
Chu Yiming had heard from Kou Xiaoshan that Yue 'e was from his hometown.
"Sweet Honey." A dark-skinned girl answered.
Chu Yiming raised his head and took a look. He looked alright.
"Bring Yiming and me to the next movie.”Kou Xiaoshan was obviously interested in Yue Er.
"Sure, but you have to buy the movie tickets.”
"No problem." Kou Xiaoshan shook Chu Yiming's shoulder happily.
Chu Yiming didn't have such interest. Although a few of the ladies at the front desk were indeed quite good-looking, Chu Yiming didn't have the mood to do so at the moment. Firstly, he had been surrounded by women since he was young, so he was immune to beautiful women. Secondly, he was a little tight on money now. Although the hotel had paid him a month's salary in advance, he was used to spending extravagantly and did not have much left. Picking up girls was a time-consuming and expensive game.
Kou Xiaoshan was chatting happily when Li Qiang and Ma Yong walked in with lunch boxes. The two of them had fierce looks in their eyes. It was obvious that they were still brooding over the scene in the morning. Kou Xiaoshan quickly shut his mouth and started eating.
"Chu Yiming, Kou Xiaoshan, come out for a moment.”Li Qiang said to them fiercely.
Chu Yiming realized that Kou Xiaoshan's face had turned pale.
"Don't be afraid. Let's see what they can do to us.”Chu Yiming put down his bowl and chopsticks and pulled Xiao Shan out of the restaurant.
The four of them came to a corner.
Li Qiang and Ma Yong immediately revealed their fierce looks.
" I'm warning you two brats, behave yourselves in the future, or else…" Ma Yong said.
"Or what?" Chu Yiming blocked Kou Xiaoshan behind him and said coldly. He had seen too many people like this.
They had already told them during the training that all the staff in the hotel were not allowed to quarrel with the guests under any circumstances, nor were they allowed to fight internally. Otherwise, they would be fired.
Chu Yiming knew that these two fellows would definitely not give up on this job.
"Why don't I let you bleed a little?”Li Qiang was obviously not confident enough.
"Do you dare to bleed me?" Chu Yiming asked provocatively.
"Brat, you're courting death." Ma Yong raised his fist, wanting to scare Chu Yiming.
Chu Yiming wasn't someone who would be frightened. He didn't wait for Ma Yong's fist to land on his body and made the first move. A punch landed on Ma Yong's lower abdomen. Ma Yong snorted and bent down in pain.
Li Qiang didn't expect Chu Yiming to really dare to make a move and was a little dumbfounded. Chu Yiming took the opportunity to grab his hair and pull it down forcefully.
Li Qiang struggled to bend down, and Chu Yifan took the opportunity to raise his knee and aim at his stomach. Li Qiang also held his stomach and squatted down in pain.
Almost in a flash, Chu Yiming subdued Li Qiang and Ma Yong. He took Kou Xiaoshan's hand and returned to the dining room.
"They won't report us to the class monitor, will they?”Kou Xiaoshan asked in shock.
"Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything to us. If the higher-ups found out, they would all be fired.”Chu Yiming had already grasped their thoughts.
Sure enough, nothing happened after work in the afternoon. Li Qiang and Ma Yong did not dare to snatch their work. Kou Xiaoshan finally felt relieved.
"They are much more honest." Kou Xiaoshan said happily.
"Not necessarily." Chu Yiming said.
"What's wrong? They still dare to take revenge on us?" Kou Xiaoshan asked.
"Maybe." Chu Yiming felt that Li Qiang and Ma Yong wouldn't suffer such a loss so easily.
Revenge came very quickly. The next day, Xiao Ren called Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan over.
"The two of you will work at the back door in the future.”
Kou Xiaoshan almost cried.
The Emperor Building was divided into two doors. The front door had a lot of business, but the back door was basically fine, and the income was much less. In order to maintain a balance, the doormen usually took turns to go to the back door. Now that Xiao Ren had handed over the work of the back door to them, it was obvious that he was taking revenge. But they had nothing to say. If he reported it to the minister, the fight would definitely be exposed.
"What should we do?" Kou Xiaoshan asked with a sad face.
"We'll take it one step at a time. What's there to be afraid of?" Chu Yiming had a disapproving expression.
"But…"
"It's okay. Endure for two days and there will be a way.”Chu Yiming comforted her.
"What is it?"
Chu Yiming already had an idea, but he couldn't say it now. He more or less understood people like Xiao Ren, who liked to take advantage of others. He had already decided that once he received his salary next month, he would invite that fellow out for a meal, buy him some small gifts, and put in some good words for him. The relationship between people was like that, but he couldn't say it now.
Chu Yiming was right, but the heavens didn't give him a chance. He had only been on duty at the back door for two days when something happened!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a black Mercedes-Benz suddenly drove up from the back door. Chu Yiming wanted to help them park the car. The two customers who got out of the car waved their hands and said that they would leave soon.
Less than ten minutes later, the two of them came out. Just as they were about to drive away, one of them suddenly shouted that their headlights were broken.
The shout alerted the security guards. The security guard checked and found a deep crack on one side of the car's headlights. This was because the car was parked at the entrance of the hotel, and during that time, Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan happened to send a few guests in. He couldn't remember if the headlights of the Mercedes-Benz were damaged before it was parked or if they were damaged after it was parked.
The matter quickly alerted General Manager Jiang Xingguo. In order to protect the hotel's reputation, President Jiang quickly apologized to the two guests and promised to compensate for all the losses.
After sending off the guests, President Jiang called Xiao Ren over and scolded him. He also asked who the security guard and doorman were. He also ordered the human resources department to fire these people.
Kou Xiaoshan was already in tears when he came out of the HR department. Chu Yiming was also a little stunned. His father's three rules had once said that he could not be fired. How could he explain himself now?
The two of them took their luggage and walked out of the hotel under everyone's sympathetic gazes.
Chu Yiming felt a little guilty. He felt that he shouldn't have used his momentary courage to harm Kou Xiaoshan.
As he walked, he comforted Xiao San. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"No, I'm going to talk to President Jiang.”he muttered to himself.
"What's the use? We're no longer from the hotel.”Xiao San said dejectedly.
"I keep feeling that something is wrong.”Chu Yiming put down his luggage, turned around, and returned to the hotel. He went straight to the general manager's office.
"Weren't you fired? Why are you back?”President Jiang said with a dark face when he saw him.
"President Jiang, I think we've been wronged.”
"Wronged?" President Jiang sneered." Do you have evidence?”
"Isn't there a camera at the entrance of the hotel? I want to see the video."
"Looks like you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Alright, I'll show you.”
President Jiang immediately ordered Shen Jun, the head of the security department, to send over the video from the afternoon.
As the video replayed, the truth was finally revealed!
This was a carefully planned conspiracy. The two guests who came first were obviously in cahoots with the guests who came later. The two guests who arrived first found an excuse to park their cars at the entrance for a short period of time, while the guests who came later used the excuse of lodging to transfer Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan away. The video clearly showed that the two previous guests walked out of the hotel and looked around. One of them used his body to block the view, and the other used a hammer to break the headlights of the Mercedes-Benz. They were just taking advantage of the hotel's fear to ask for high compensation.
After watching the video, President Jiang was furious and immediately prepared to call the police.
"Director Jiang, I suspect that there's a mole in the hotel?”
"A traitor?"
"You see, these people are obviously very familiar with the situation in the hotel. They have a very precise grasp of the timing. If there is no mole, how could they know so clearly about the doorman's duty and the security guard's shift change time?”Chu Yiming still had something to say. Why had he and Kou Xiaoshan just arrived at the back door? This would happen.
"Makes sense?" President Jiang thought for a moment and called his secretary over. After a few words, he called the police.
"Before the matter is investigated clearly, why don't the two of you come back to work first?”
"Thank you, President Jiang." Chu Yiming said happily.
Three days later, the police arrested two of the fraudsters based on the video provided by the hotel. They took Xiao Ren away based on their testimony.
It turned out that this matter was planned by Xiao Ren. He contacted a few habitual criminals from other places and first defrauded the hotel of its high compensation. Then, he chased Chu Yiming and Kou Xiaoshan away. It was really killing two birds with one stone!
