The security manager's office is right next to the bar manager's office. When you push the door and enter, the furnishings in the office are exactly the same as before. The leather sofa boss chair is quietly placed there. The last time he came, Tang Fei pressed himself on this chair.
On the chair, I asked myself if I felt a sense of power. Unexpectedly, only a month or two later, this chair truly belonged to me.
According to the agreement between Li Chuan and Wang Dahu, Tang Fei will go to the Rose Bar to hand over work this afternoon.
Lu Shanmin did not sit on that chair, but simply sat on the sofa where the guests were.
Lu Shanmin still doesn't know what his dream is, but he knows that Tang Fei has a dream. Tang Fei came to the East China Sea in order to gain a reputation and return home in glory, in order to stand upright in the East China Sea and survive the hardships of being naked and deprived of food.
The most miserable three years of not having enough to eat, I survived the time when I was a security guard and I was often covered in injuries, and finally I was able to sit on that chair. And everything that I finally got was because of my unwillingness to leave the world.
For nothing, he even risked his own life to stand on his own side against Wang Dahu.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Fei pushed in the door, closed the door, and sat opposite Lu Shanmin.
Lu Shanmin looked at Tang Fei with an apologetic smile on his face.
"sorry"!!!
Tang Fei smiled slightly and punched Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "Does it still hurt?"
Lu Shanmin knew that he was asking about Wang Chao leading people to beat him up a few days ago, so he smiled gratefully and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Tang Fei pointed to his heart and said, "It hurts."
Lu Shanmin grinned and giggled, suddenly feeling that his sorry sentence just now was a bit abrupt.
Tang Fei smiled and said, "Success and fame are important, but I don't want to be a loner. I, Tang Fei, have always been happy with my grudges, and I will not do anything that makes me unhappy, no matter how much money I am given."
Lu Shanmin had a happy smile on his face. Grandpa said that all things can change but the heart of an innocent child cannot be changed. The two college students Chen Kun and Huang Mei did not do it. Wang Dahu, a rural man, did not do it. Tang Fei, who only studied in junior high school for three years more than himself, did not do it.
The mountain people did it...
"Did you feel uncomfortable holding back that day?"
Tang Fei nodded fiercely, "I almost couldn't hold back and took action. If the construction workers hadn't arrived in time, I don't know if I could have held back."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Fortunately you held back"?
Tang Fei asked in confusion, "Why? At worst, I will fall out with Wang Dahu completely. I will go to the Rose Bar to be your deputy. If the two brothers join forces, no matter whether they can beat him or not, at least they can have a smooth and smooth fight. Isn't that right?
Be happy."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "It's not that simple."
"Huh? Isn't it just like the battle between Wang Dahu and Liu Qiang? Is there anything more complicated?"
"This time is different," Lu Shanmin said thoughtfully.
"What's the difference"?
Lu Shanmin said seriously: "Don't be surprised by what I said." He paused and said, "Wang Dahu's target this time is not just me, but most likely also several bar owners."
"Ah"? Although Lu Shanmin had told him not to be surprised, he was still stunned. "This, how is this possible?"
Although Lu Shanmin also had some doubts, he believed in Zuoqiu's judgment.
"How do you know?" Tang Fei asked in disbelief.
"I guessed it." Lu Shanmin didn't tell Tang Fei what Zuo Qiu had done. Zuo Qiu had repeatedly warned him not to tell anyone. He also specifically reminded Tang Fei not to tell him. It wasn't because he couldn't trust Tang Fei, but because he was afraid that with Wang Dahu's eyes, he would learn from Tang Fei.
We can see some clues. Zuoqiu is now a trump card in Lu Shanmin's hand. Neither Hu Weiyong nor Wang Dahu knows about his existence. His existence must not be discovered until the last moment.
Lu Shanmin continued: "With Wang Dahu's wisdom, he must be able to clearly understand his own position. Of course, he also clearly knows that the three bar owners will not allow him to dominate alone. He can still act under the circumstances of knowing the bottom line of Hu Weiyong and others.
Determined to make plans to kill Liu Qiang, it shows that he has a desire to resist."
Tang Fei's face was full of doubts, "This can also be understood to mean that in order to strive for more benefits, didn't he charge hundreds of thousands more security fees in the first two months? Now he has taken the initiative to reduce the security fees to the previous one. Isn't it also knowing that?
Is it a sign of giving up?"
Tang Fei continued: "After all, he is also a part-time worker. Even a three-year-old child knows that how can a part-time worker have the intention to fight with the boss? Isn't this a joke about his own job? Wang Dahu is so smart, but he would do something so stupid.
thing"?
Lu Shanmin did not argue with Tang Fei about this issue. Even he himself still had doubts about this. He just told him that he knew and that he would pay attention when he had the opportunity to see if he could find any clues. He must not let Wang Dahu see that we had guessed.
It's on his mind.
"No matter what, it is necessary for you to stay with Wang Dahu now. Before things become clear, you can get some useful information."
Tang Fei nodded, "I will pay attention."
Thinking that the skills of the people following him that day were by no means comparable to ordinary security guards, Lu Shanmin asked, "Aside from these security guards on Minsheng West Road, does Wang Dahu have any other strength?"
Tang Fei was stunned for a moment, shook his head, "No, I know everyone under his command" and asked after a pause, "Why do you ask that?"
"Last month, a very skilled man followed me, and I even had a fight with him. He obviously knew martial arts, and he should be a master. In a one-on-one fight, I was no match for him. Last time
He is unwilling to fight, otherwise I will only be defeated. The security guard on Minsheng West Road will not have such strength. I suspect that that person is another force secretly cultivated by Wang Dahu." He then said: "Look more carefully.
Think about it, besides you, Wang Chao, Li Hao, Lin Feng, Zhang Hao and others, who else does Wang Dahu have more contact with in private?"
Tang Fei thought for a long time and shook his head, "No, but I will pay attention to this matter in the future. If there are clues, I will notify you as soon as possible."
The two chatted some more about the bar security work, and Tang Fei got up and left. Staying too long would inevitably arouse Wang Dahu's suspicion.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, ten people recruited by Hu Weiyong in the talent market came to the Rose Bar to report. Lu Shanmin called them to the office. These people will be his important force in fighting Wang Dahu in the future.
I have to say that Hu Weiyong is very kind in his work. These ten people are all in their twenties, all of them are strong and strong, and one of them has practiced several martial arts. Most of them are people from rural areas who come to work in the city.
Lu Shanmin's eyes were deep, as if he was chasing prey in the mountains, and he looked coldly at the row of people standing in front of him. Facing him
Facing Lu Shanmin's cold and scrutinizing gaze, most of them dodge their eyes, and two of them even trembled a little with fright. It was obvious that some of them must have just come out of the countryside. However, there were two people who asked Lu Shanmin to pay more attention.
After observing for a while, the two people were calm and composed from beginning to end. Apart from being interested and surprised, there was no obvious dodge in their eye contact with Lu Shanmin. It was obvious that these two people had had some experience in the city.
Lu Shanmin put away his cold eyes and said calmly: "I am a mountain villager. When I first arrived in Donghai, I couldn't even pay the rent, I didn't even dare to eat meat, and I couldn't even buy clothes. Most of you
I am from the countryside. I believe you have the same experience as me. When you come to this bustling metropolis, you just want to be well fed and clothed, and to return home in fine clothes. I promise you, as long as you unite and work together,
I will fight side by side, and you will have everything you want."
Many of the ten people looked excited. Apparently some of them had experienced the experience of not being able to pay rent or buy clothes.
"The security fee for this bar is 80,000 yuan per month for me, and I will give 6,000 yuan per month for each of you."
"Wow", everyone immediately became restless, their eyes full of excitement. When Hu Weiyong recruited them, the salary promised to them was 3,000 per month, but this time it was doubled. Most of these people were freshmen.
Not long after I came to Donghai, I worked in several different jobs, but undoubtedly they only paid two to three thousand yuan a month. To be able to get six thousand yuan at once, many people couldn't believe their ears.
Lu Shanmin looked at everyone's reactions calmly. Although they were future partners rather than prey, he habitually liked to observe these people when they met for the first time. Those two were still relatively calm, but there were slight differences between them.
The man named Zhou Tong was the one who had learned several martial arts moves. Although he acted relatively calmly, strong excitement could still be seen in his eyes. It was obvious that he controlled his emotions very well.
Although another man named Meng Ao was equally excited and enthusiastic, the observant Lu Shanmin found that his excitement and enthusiasm came a little later, as if he had told a more meaningful joke. Some people reacted
He was slow for a moment, and it took him a moment to react and burst into laughter.
Lu Shanmin continued: "This is just your current salary. I will look at your performance in a month and select one of you to be my deputy. The salary of the selected person will be increased by four thousand."
"Wow" everyone was even more excited. If you add four thousand, it will be ten thousand. For this group of workers who have just arrived in Donghai, it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. Many white-collar workers in the office cannot get such a high salary. Everyone is eager to try.
Thinking that I can be the lucky person.
Lu Shanmin said coldly, "Don't be too happy too early. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You have to pay accordingly for how much you get."
Zhou Tong patted his chest and said, "Although I am a rural person, I also know that if you want to eat other people's food, you have to do your own thing well. Manager Lu is so bold and bold. If you just say a word, I, Zhou Tong, will never be vague."
Several other people also said: "Manager Lu gives us such a high salary, which is our food and clothing, and we all listen to you."
"Okay", Lu Shanmin shouted. "Today is our first day working in this bar. Please cheer up and put on a good opening show tonight to let others see clearly that we are the ones who own this bar."
the master of”.
Lu Shanmin asked everyone to change into security uniforms, leaving Zhou Tong and Meng Ao alone.
Lu Shanmin sat on the sofa and said to the two of them, "Sit down."
The two nodded, "Thank you, Manager Lu."
Lu Shanmin smiled. He was really not used to the title Manager Lu.
"We are almost the same age. You don't need to call me that in private from now on. Just treat me like a brother."
Meng Ao smiled and said: "Manager Lu, this is inappropriate."
Zhou Tong also said: "In our hometown, even a three-year-old child has to call grandpa as long as his seniority is there."
Lu Shanmin smiled and nodded. This is true, and it is the same in Mazui Village. Even though Zhang Dafa is the village chief, he still has to hold his nose and call Aunt Wang when he sees Aunt Wang at the top of the west mountain. People in the city always say
Country people don't know the rules. Sometimes Lu Shan people think that country people are the ones who know the rules best.
"Okay then, you can call me Mountain Man Brother from now on."
The two nodded and called Shanmin Ge together.
"You two are different. You are more courageous and calm than others. From now on, you two will take more care of things in the bar."
Meng Ao patted his chest and said, "Brother Shanmin trusts us so much, I won't let you down."
Zhou Tong also had a perseverance on his face, "Even if I didn't have the six thousand yuan, I, Zhou Tong, would still recognize you as my brother. I've been in Donghai for half a year and I've done a lot of jobs. Every boss is eager to squeeze some oil out of his employees."
Come on, you are the only one who is so generous, and you are the only one who treats us as human beings."
Lu Shanmin smiled. He was lucky. As soon as he arrived in the East China Sea, he met a good person like Lin Dahai. But more people are not so lucky. Whether it is Hu Weiyong, Li Chuan or Wang Dahu, they only have interests in their eyes, and it shows.
Being approachable is just a way to win people's hearts. Deep down, they don't regard others as human beings. They are just pawns that they can manipulate at will for their own benefit.
Lu Shanmin patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter whether others treat us as human beings or not. What's important is that we ourselves have to treat ourselves as human beings."
The news that all drinks in the bar will be discounted by 20% today has already been posted. At the same time, advertisements for a 10% discount on all drinks at Moonlight Bar and Blue Chip Bar are also prominently posted on the door.
As soon as it got dark, many customers entered the Rose Bar one after another. The bar staff had already been notified that it would be full of customers today, and they were already ready for business.
Lu Shanmin, wearing a crisp casual suit and leather shoes costing several thousand yuan, stood calmly on the second floor. This position was exactly where Liu Qiang was at the beginning. He could have a panoramic view of the entire bar.
The bar staff took turns to say hello as usual, and Lu Shanmin just smiled slightly in return. It didn't matter to them who the security manager of this bar was. Anyway, it was the king's flag changing on the city head. Today, Wang Mazi, tomorrow Zhou Laizi.
However, they still liked Lu Shanmin more than Liu Qiang. They could clearly see Lu Shanmin's performance in the Rose Bar, and Lu Shanmin's smile revealed the simplicity of the mountain people, which made them more comfortable to watch. Especially those who
The female staff at the bar were even more speechless when they saw Lu Shanmin. Compared with Liu Qiang's bald head, she had to admit that Lu Shanmin was really handsome in this outfit.
Especially Xiaoxiao and Ruan Yu had become very close when they worked at the Rose Bar. They had also eaten barbecue at the barbecue restaurant before. She had no idea that the barbecue boy wearing a shabby T-shirt could become a person in the blink of an eye.
A person like Liu Qiang. In just a few months, he has changed into brand-name clothes and a cool temperament. It is completely unimaginable that he is still the same mountain villager.
"Hello, mountain man brother".
Lu Shanmin smiled slightly and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be polite to me like everyone else. You are Ruan Yu's friend, so naturally you are also my friend."
Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly. The mountain boy who didn't even look at him at first actually had a faint air of superiority in his words.
"Sister Ruan did not see the wrong person."
"Thank you for taking care of Ruan Yu. If it weren't for you, she would have been bullied a lot when she was at the Rose Bar."
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "She is my good sister. Just as you treat her as your sister, so do I."
Lu Shanmin smiled and nodded, "From now on, please call me Shanmin in private. You are older than me, so I can't bear to call me brother."
Xiaoxiao suppressed her smile and pursed her lips, thinking to herself, he is really a straight man, and his words are not pleasant at all.
Wang Jie walked to Lu Shanmin with fear. Last time Liu Qiang set up a trap at the Rose Bar, she was an important part. She went to the barbecue restaurant to trick Lu Shanmin into going to the Rose Bar. In the past two months, Tang Fei has been the manager of the Rose Bar.
She was trembling with fear, and now that Lu Shanmin himself had arrived, she was even more anxious and uneasy, for fear that Lu Shanmin would retaliate against her.
With an anxious mood, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Hello, Brother Shanmin."
Lu Shanmin glanced at her lightly and said, "Okay."
It's a simple word. Wang Jie doesn't know whether the word "good" is really good or if it has a deeper meaning.
After struggling for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Shanmin, what happened last time was forced by Liu Qiang on me. It was really not my intention."
Lu Shanmin didn't look at her, and continued to look downstairs, still saying coldly, "I know."
Wang Jie gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know if Lu Shanmin had forgiven her, but in her opinion, if she encountered such a thing, she would never be able to forgive her easily. To judge others by yourself, in your heart
Even more scared.
With a choked voice, he said, "Brother Shanmin, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I can do anything you want me to do." He timidly took out a key from his bag and said, "This, this
It’s the key to my rental house.”
Lu Shanmin finally looked back at her. She looked pretty good. The scene on her chest had been viewed by countless people, and it looked quite spectacular. Her red eyes looked a bit moving in the dim light. From the beginning to the end.
In the end, he never held any grudge against this girl at all. If he hadn't seen her today, he would have even forgotten that such a person existed. She would go to a bar to make smiles to survive, so the family conditions would not be very good. Lu Shanmin has never looked down on her.
Bar girls don't steal or rob, they make money through labor, and each has its own difficulties and hardships.
It's not wrong to work hard if you know how to survive, and it's understandable to even show off your laughter, but even your dignity is sold. Lu Shanmin despises this girl from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing the fear on Wang Jie's face, the key in his hand was still shaking slightly in the air. Lu Shanmin sneered: "I am a mysophobic person."
"Ding dong", the key in Wang Jie's hand fell to the ground, and she couldn't help crying anymore.
Lu Shanmin frowned. Instead of feeling any pity, he felt a little disgusted.
"I am not a gangster like Liu Qiang, nor am I as jealous as Tang Fei. As long as you do your own thing well, there will be no change between now and before."
Wang Jie stopped crying and looked at the Lushan people in disbelief. It took him a while to react.
"Thank you, Brother Shanmin."
