Chapter 21
“Ken, I heard that you have some different ideas about Rob. Can you talk to me?”
" Ah, Lucas, you know. In fact, there was no big problem. I asked him why he had raised so much salary for himself? And it’s too little to add to employees. Isn’t it actually saving money to the company after half a day?"
" Ken, your idea is just your point of view. Next time you should tell me first, and then we will find a solution together. Because the western restaurant is either the chef or the general manager. Now that the chef is gone, the general manager is very important. Have you seen Rob’s efforts?"
“Yes,Lucas. I saw his efforts. After experiencing cashier and personnel mistakes, I am also objectively correcting myself and cooperating with Rob. But…"
" No, Ken.but I’ve seen people’s hearts for a long time, otherwise? Can you be the general manager? If not, we should fully cooperate and support it. If there is nothing in principle, you should not make any more suggestions. Let him play, and we will work together.Donot judge people."
" Lucas.What you said makes sense, I follow."
After that conversation.Lucas had to organize more meetings balance me and Rob.
Rob’s relationship with me had also improved. We only focused on how to better solve the problems at work and how to reduce the cost of the company.
Another day, Rob sent me his wedding invitation. I thought although we were not familiar with it, I felt his kindness, so I prepared the red envelope to go to the appointment on time, and the wedding address was the VIP room of our own restaurant.
It turned out that there were several parts of his wedding, and when I arrived, I found the aunt who was resting. Chefs and waiters are also invited. They didn’t mean to look down on the staff, but everyone was discussing how much red envelopes were given. This was very Chinese characteristics.
He kindly invited everyone a few months after coming to the company. His Chinese wife may forgot to remind everyone that she usually had the habit of wrapping red envelopes, which was sometimes a burden on ordinary employees, and according to the Chinese thinking, the leader’s invitation must support the scene.
Sure enough, after a while, some unhappy employees began to shout, criticizing that the VIP room was too white, and it was unlucky to hang photos on the wall on the white cloth background.
Fortunately, some polite aunts directly prevented this excessive discussion. Soon.Rob, his bride and family finally came. Let’s have fun together with them.
Rob’s father was a British labor arbitration lawyer. The old gentleman could play discs and encourage everyone to dance together, but without wedding banquets and food, Chinese colleagues fainted and left hungry for a while.
This cultural difference between China and the West is also the first time. It’s quite good and special experience.Why not?Thanks for the invitation.Next time I would take some food first then go party.
