In the Free Man Bar. Qin Feng officially took up his new office as a.s.sistant manager. Sister Flower was very surprised as well. Zhao Jun was able to skip the rules and promote Qin Feng from a lowly waiter all the way up to a.s.sistant manager of the Free Man Bar. This would have been absolutely unthinkable in the past. For a waiter who had been working there for less than a month to be able to achieve such a high position was incredible.
Sister Flower arranged a small celebration in honor of Qin Feng"s promotion.
"It"s three o"clock in the afternoon and we still have five hours before customers start coming in," Sister Flower climbed up to the stage above the dance floor with a gla.s.s of wine in her hand and raised a toast. "A lot of unusual things have happened here recently. I would like to thank everyone present for your sincere solidarity and cooperation. The Free Man Bar couldn"t have survived without all of your help."
The employees were sitting on bar stools in front of her, looking up at her expectantly. Everyone had a relaxed smile. No one wanted to say it aloud, but they all knew in their hearts that now that Kun has left and Qin Feng took office, everyone would have a much better time. Qin Feng started off as a waiter. Although he had only been around for a month, he already knew everyone quite well. He started at the very bottom of the totem pole, so he could appreciate the waiters" and ladies" hard work and would certainly take proper care of everyone in the future.
"Qin Feng, come up here."
Sister Flower found Qin Feng hiding in a dark corner in the back and laughed. "What? You still want to lay low now that you"re a manager? Let me tell you, you will be left with all sorts of things to handle in the future. I will leave all my work to you and just count the money every day, but you will have to earn it for me, so don"t let me down!"
How could Sister Flower not rest a.s.sured with him a.s.sisting her?
Although she did not know Qin Feng for a long time, his character, ability, and sense of responsibility already made Sister Flower admire him. Originally, she was thinking of looking for an opportunity to transfer Zhao Hu, the hall manager, and let Qin Feng first take over for him, and then slowly take over Kun"s responsibilities. But Zhao Jun had unexpectedly made the decision to let Qin Feng replace Kun straight away. This was really the wisest decision Sister Flower had seen Zhao Jun make over the past few years.
"Haha, under the wise leadership of Sister Flower, I believe the Free Man Bar will only get better and better."
Qin Feng raised his gla.s.s to the dozens of employees below the stage with an easygoing smile. "Let"s raise a toast to celebrate. I wish the Free Man Bar a splendid and brilliant future. I wish for Sister Flower to always keep her youth, and that the longer she lives, the more beautiful she will become. Let"s do this!"
Qin Feng threw back his drink and glanced at the overjoyed Sister Flower at his side. Raising a playful eyebrow, he said, "I have heard that Sister Flower has amazing dance moves. Perhaps she would like to dance on this happy occasion? Show us what you"ve got!"
The atmosphere in the room immediately reached a climax. The staff members in the audience cheered, shouted and screamed, while the DJ girl turned on the flashy lights and put on Latino music. It was not grumpy, but there was definitely tension and ease in it. You could tell from the notes that it will be a dance yearning for freedom and happiness.
"Oh, you just have to undermine me, huh?"
Sister Flower rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and said, "This dance requires a partner. Come on."
"Me? I"m stupid. What if I step on your foot?" Qin Feng said nervously.
"If you want to hurt me, you should step on it."
Sister Flower threw her gla.s.s to a waiter below the stage and stood opposite Qin Feng. "Relax and breathe. Imagine we"re at the seaside, with rugged waves and a bright sky, and we"re walking barefoot on the fine sandy beach..."
The two put up their arms, their left and right hands linked to each other, while the melodious singing became much more soothing. Sister Flower danced with Qin Feng.
Qin Feng once took a crash course in dancing for a mission; specifically, to infiltrate a high-end clubhouse.
He remembered sneaking into a small Middle Eastern royal family"s dance half a year ago. After Qin Feng and Green Snake did their makeup, they performed a pa.s.sionate dance as a couple. Qin Feng enjoyed the feeling very much and swayed as Sister Flower instructed.
Qin Feng"s left hand held her right hand, while his right hand held her slender waist. Her movements were very smart, her dance steps perfect. Qin Feng tried to follow her lead, but he was very awkward.
Unsurprisingly, he stumbled during a 360-degree turn and stepped on Sister Flower"s foot. She gasped and lost her balance, dragging Qin Feng on top of her.
Qin Feng tensed up. The two were stuck very close, Qin Feng pressed firmly against Sister Flower"s chest. Even worse, their mouths accidentally touched.
It was an accident, but it was so sudden that neither one had time to dodge.
The crowd below erupted with excitement. One after another, they began shouting, " Kiss, kiss, kiss!"
Behind Qin Feng, who quickly stood up straight, looking embarra.s.sed, someone shouted, "Qin Feng and Sister Flower forever!"
Sister Flower"s cheeks blushed. She covered her mouth and cried exasperatedly, "Stop shouting! Why are you shouting?"
Seeing her awkward position, Qin Feng shouted down to the crowd, "OK, OK, you all have things to do. Work hard! Soon, I will start a WeChat group for the whole staff, and if the turnover tonight reaches our goal, I will be sending red envelopes to everyone in the group. Of course, I"ll be keeping an eye on your performance! Anyone who slacks off at work will not only not be allowed into the group, but will also be fined!"
"Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah."
Everyone happily turned around and went back to work.
Qin Feng had his own style of management. He knew people had special feelings for WeChat"s red envelopes these days. If you gave them thirty or fifty Yuan in cash there would be no reaction, but if they got a red envelope of 30 to 50 Yuan, they would hold up their phone triumphantly and be excited all night.
This was basic human psychology. If they got many tips of 1 fen, they would think nothing of it, but if they suddenly got a red envelope with a very large amount of money, it would be like winning the lottery. Work motivation would rise immediately.
Soon, the hall became quiet.
Qin Feng felt slightly embarra.s.sed and coughed lightly. He felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and braced himself as he looked at Sister Flower beside him. "I"m sorry, I did not mean to..."
Only they knew that at the moment of the kiss, they instinctively opened their mouths and touched each other"s tongues.
Although Qin Feng had had s.e.x with all manner of women, even many abroad, they were all purely for satisfying his physical needs or as part of a mission. Except for his first love, Li Menglu, from before he became a soldier, he hadn"t thought about any of the women he had known since.
The tongue was a very intimate thing. Once touched, it would directly hit the human heart. Even an extremely l.u.s.tful woman would rather hand over her body than stick her tongue out.
Qin Feng had kissed those women, but he mostly stuck to their lips. He had never used his tongue, because in his view it was a symbol of love he would not easily give to just anyone.
