268: Chapter 257: Kiss Me Once 268: Chapter 257: Kiss Me Once “You’re not afraid?” Song Yun asked with a playful smile.
“You have to know that your current boss is not an easy person to serve.” The girl’s nerves really seemed to be quite thick.
“Not afraid, I think instead of calling it a sect, it’s more like a company, especially after my deep interactions recently.
I’ve found that they’re pretty much like normal people on a day-to-day basis, even more real than some people.” Su Shan said earnestly.
“I’m actually a bit envious of you now, having so many people willing to sincerely help you.”
“Since they’ve chosen to work under me, they’re all brothers.
We feast on meat and divide gold generously—people are all flesh and blood.
I refuse to believe that if I treat them well, they’ll let me down,” Song Yun said.
“But the kind of people you’re talking about are in the majority in society—they only see the good they do for others, and turn a blind eye when others do good for them, heh, what would you do if you encountered such a person?”
“What can I do?
If they stick out a hand, chop off the hand; stick out a leg, chop off the leg.
You’re asking me such a simple question?” Song Yun pointed to the disciples coming and going.
“Having been at our sect for so many days, you must have noticed the so-called hierarchical system.
Though we are brothers on the surface, there’s still this invisible hierarchy behind the scenes.”
“The lowest level is those you often see.
Now that the security company has started up, they can go to work to earn money and feed their children.
Above them are the so-called managers, who control these people and are also the low-level managers within the sect.
Above them are the mid-level managers, and so it goes, stacking upwards.
But there are four places that are not under their jurisdiction, and those are the Four Gates.”
“The Four Gates have a sort of ambiguous relationship with the sect.
Besides their own Sect Leader, the rest are not allowed to interfere with anything inside their gate.
However, when there is a conflict of interest with other organizations, they must represent us as elites and fight to win battle after battle.
Their status might be lower than those managers, but in the gang, no one dares to look down on them.”
“When I first created the Four Gates, it was specifically to train a group of main forces.
Even if those managers deserted me, these Four Gates members could quickly take their place.
This way, as long as we don’t face total destruction, we can continue to develop steadily.”
“You sure have a lot of ideas.
We runners better just keep our heads down and make money for you, the big boss, to avoid being abandoned by you guys one day,” Su Shan said with a laugh.
“Don’t worry, you’re so pretty, I wouldn’t abandon you for anything,” Song Yun said with a wicked grin.
“Having been here for so long, have you encountered any difficulties?”
“Not really, because Zhao Yan has been secretly helping me.
The people leading me have all planned to pass on everything they have to me.
It’s just that the lower-level employees are not easy to manage.
I feel like they always have a way of excluding newcomers.
Even when I issue orders, they just listen and don’t really engage, and even if they do perform the tasks, they do it half-heartedly,” Su Shan said, frustrated.
“At times like these, it’s your wisdom that’s being tested.
If you can’t figure it out, I could point you in the right direction.”
“What direction?” Su Shan asked, puzzled.
During her time here, whether it was from the mouths of managers or the common people, the name she heard the most was Brother Song.
She really didn’t understand how such a young man in his twenties could wield such great power.
But when she tried to delve deeper, Zhao Yan warned her off, signaling her not to pry into others’ private matters for no reason.
Having been holding back on this for a long time, today she finally caught Song Yun and was determined to ask him.
“Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you,” Song Yun said with a lewd smile, licking his lips.
“It’s just a kiss, after all.
You should know that the advice I’m going to give you is really powerful; you definitely won’t be at a loss.”
“Ptui!
Who would want to kiss you?” Su Shan retorted, her face slightly red.
“You’re the boss of several companies and bars, can’t you be serious for once a day, instead of acting like a playboy?
Are you not afraid of those who look up to you seeing you like this?”
“Not afraid at all.
I want them to see the real me.
You think I should be sitting there with a stern face, saying nothing and brooding all day long?
Have you been watching too many movies?” Song Yun laughed.
“Enough teasing.
Actually, the solution is very simple.
Do you know how teachers deal with their students?”
“How they deal with students?” Su Shan felt as if her brain wasn’t quite up to speed.
She didn’t know whether she was getting dumber or if Song Yun was just too clever.
She always seemed to be unable to keep up with his pace.
“Yes, if a teacher wants the students in the class to listen to them, they only need to do one thing: win them over.
No matter the age, there will always be some students who like the teacher.
So, the teachers pour all their resources into them, like the class monitor or committee leaders.
Once these students taste the benefits, they naturally become the most supportive assistants to the teacher, which means they will get more benefits.”
“The other students, seeing this, naturally won’t just sit there and munch on humble food.
Instead, they all strive to be good students in front of the teacher.
Once that happens, the class is essentially conquered.
As for the few who are naughty and disruptive and don’t care about the benefits in your hands, just kick them out.
As someone high up, you have to learn a skill: to wield both carrot and stick.”
“You first punish them and then offer them a little benefit.
This way, they won’t harbor resentment against you in their hearts, and they’ll remember why they were punished,” Song Yun said.
“So there’s so much reasoning behind it,” Su Shan said, suddenly enlightened.
“Then, with the bar people, I could win over a part of them and kick out the disobedient ones, is that what you mean?”
“Exactly.
You don’t need to feel sorry for those who are disobedient.
If they want to break the rules, they must face the consequences.
If you’re not harsh with them, they won’t fear you.
As a boss, you can’t let your subordinates not fear you, or the collective’s ability to act will become more and more slack,” Song Yun said seriously.
“This is an art.
If you want to learn more, just come to headquarters often and see how the managers handle their subordinates without causing them to harbor dissent.”
“Alright, thanks for the advice.
I have to go to work now.
I can’t wait to try this method out.”
