199 Employees Can’t Enter Their Annual Meeting?
The delivery men had never seen Song Anrong before, so they naturally did not trust her. Some of the delivery men saw Song Anrong’s white collar attire and thought that she should be one of the higher-ups, so they wanted to wait and see. Some of the delivery men felt that they were being looked down upon and did not want to stay for a minute longer.
Everyone had different opinions. Those who wanted to leave and those who didn’t, squeezed and pushed each other. The entrance of the hotel seemed even more chaotic.
“Everyone, don’t move. Be careful not to get injured.” Song Anrong shouted to maintain order.
There were a lot more delivery people on the scene than she’d expected. Her words weren’t audible to everyone.
With so many people blocking the entrance of the hotel, not only did it look ugly, it also prevented other guests from entering and exiting. The hotel manager urged impatiently, “There’s an empty space in front. Can you go over there first?”
The gentle Song Anrong turned around and glared at him.
Would they be stuck here if it weren’t for the hotel manager not letting the delivery men in?
Just as Song Anrong was at a loss, Luo Feng, Ai Tingya, and Xie Yan looked up at the end of the crowd. They didn’t know why so many people were standing at the door.
Song Anrong wanted to grab onto a straw to clutch at and hurriedly waved at Luo Feng. “Boss! Over here! The hotel manager won’t let the employees in!”
Upon hearing that the boss was here, everyone seemed to have found their backbone. Everyone quietened down and made way for Luo Feng and the others.
“What happened?” Luo Feng went forward and asked.
“The hotel won’t let them in…” Song Anrong said softly. “They said that they don’t match up to their hotel’s standards…”
“Is that so?” Luo Feng looked at the hotel manager beside him.
“Haha… Hahaha…” The hotel manager laughed dryly. “Chairman Luo, it’s not that they don’t match up to our standards, but it’s just not appropriate… Haha, don’t you think so…”
Luo Feng frowned and thought to himself, “You’re the big-headed one.” However, he was a dignified university student and would not curse casually.
He turned to look at the delivery men. Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces.
Part of them were angry, and part of them was because they felt inferior and lowered their heads. They also felt that they did not belong to this high-end place. Their faces clearly said that they wanted to leave.
The deliverymen all looked at Luo Feng, wanting to see what their boss had to say.
Luo Feng said to the deliverymen, “I’m sorry, everyone. I made you come here for nothing…”
Upon hearing this, the delivery men thought that Luo Feng was going to chase them away, and their expression darkened. The hotel manager, on the other hand, smiled happily. He did not expect it to be resolved so easily.
Luo Feng continued, “You’re not allowed to enter this hotel. I’ll find another place immediately. Please wait for two minutes.”
After saying that, Luo Feng gave Song Anrong a look and said that he would find a new hotel.
When the hotel manager heard this, he panicked and stopped Luo Feng. “Chairman Luo! This… if you change places now, it’ll be difficult for us to explain. Look, we blocked out the banquet hall in advance and prepared everything. If you do this, your deposit…”
“Deposit?” Luo Feng said indifferently, “You’ve delayed our company’s annual meeting because of your hotel’s mistake. You might even have to compensate me.”
He was quite unyielding towards the hotel manager. Ai Tingya and Xie Yan comforted the delivery men nicely. Comparing the two, the delivery men felt that their needs were valued and were willing to listen to the arrangements when they were in a good mood.
The hotel manager had heard that the legal consultants of Luo Feng’s company were invincible. He, a small manager, had caused the hotel to be sued. He definitely could not bear the outcome.
“Have you found it?” Luo Feng urged Song Anrong.
Song Anrong was very efficient. She nodded and said, “There’s one 500 meters ahead. Shall I book a hall immediately?”
The hotel manager definitely could not make Luo Feng nod.
It was very inauspicious for a businessman to chase his customers out.
Moreover, Luo Feng had booked the lobby of their hotel and created a lot of income for the hotel. The higher-ups would definitely blame him for losing such a huge order.
He did not want to cause trouble for the hotel, so he quickly changed his words. “No, no, no. I’m really sorry for wasting Chairman Luo’s time. Please come in, everyone!”
He gave the security guard a look and immediately made way.
Luo Feng was still angry. “I’m not the one you should apologize to. You should apologize to my employees!”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The hotel manager bowed and apologized. “I’ll give Chairman Luo a discount today as an apology. What do you think?”
“Yeah.”
The employees of Gather Sift Takeaway looked at each other. They had been looked down upon just now, but no one took the lead now. The crowd was still frozen at the door.
Luo Feng sighed and retracted his sharpness towards the hotel manager. “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t think it through.”
At this moment, Hao Yingqiang, who was standing in the crowd, squeezed to the front row and was the first to walk into the hotel. At the same time, he gave Luo Feng a look that said, “I’ll support you.” With the person in the lead, even though the other deliverymen hesitated, they still followed the main group in.
Song Anrong rushed to the front and led the group to the banquet hall.
Xie Yan walked forward and said, “Luckily, your roommate is within them. Otherwise, I don’t know how long we would have to stand there.”
Luo Feng looked at everyone’s backs. “I was the one who didn’t think it through…”
Xie Yan followed Luo Feng’s gaze. Even though the hotel’s passageway was very spacious, a large group of people advanced at the same time, turning the corridor into a one-way street.
He actually did not understand why Luo Feng insisted on letting the delivery man participate in the annual meeting.
It was not that he had any prejudice against delivery men, but there were simply too many people. Moreover, many customers were already used to ordering takeout. Today, he directly announced on the webpage that they were taking leave. Along the way, he received many consultation calls asking why customers could not order takeout.
The takeout would stop for a day for one annual meeting.
This was nothing. It would be very difficult for them to deal with anything as long as there were too many people. If they wanted a reward, it was better to directly transfer it to their account or find fewer advanced representatives.
Luo Feng had been very persistent in this aspect.
However, Luo Feng realized that he had indeed underestimated this matter.
This incident might seem trivial, but it would leave an impact on them. They would probably look at him differently.
Luo Feng and the others were the last to enter the banquet hall.
As he had expected, the group of deliverymen automatically formed a group and drew a line with the other employees, occupying the last few tables in the banquet hall. There were not enough tables in the hall. Some deliverymen would rather stand than share a table with the other employees. It was very clear.
Luo Feng found the hotel manager and opened the partition to the other banquet hall. He booked the other side as well.
With a place to sit, the line between the delivery man and the other employees was even more obvious. They were clearly from the same company, but they seemed to be from two different camps.
This was the last thing that Luo Feng wanted to see.
