67: Chapter 66, Beauty Trap!
67: Chapter 66, Beauty Trap!
Stepping into the bar, there was naturally the noise of loud music and n and won dancing energetically on the dance floor.
The decor of the bar wasn’t particularly high-end, but it wasn’t low-end either; it could be described as average.
And now, at around seven in the evening, business was quite good.
Upon entering the bar, Fang Yi didn’t order a drink.
He walked straight to the bar counter, sat down, and said to a bartender, “Are you hiring here?”
The bartender was montarily startled, then nodded, but he gave Fang Yi a strange look.
“But we’re looking for…”
“No need for ‘buts.’ Where’s your manager’s office?” Fang Yi interrupted him.
The bartender hesitated for a mont, then pointed in a certain direction.
Fang Yi promptly stood up and walked over.
Watching Fang Yi leave, the bartender muttered under his breath, “Is this guy sick?
A man coming to be a drink promoter?
What a weirdo!”
…
Fang Yi quickly found the manager’s office, then went to knock on the door.
A man in his thirties opened the door and, seeing that it was a stranger standing outside, was about to inquire.
But before the man could speak, Fang Yi greeted him warmly, “Hello, hello!
You must be Manager Li of the Blue Cloud Bar.
My na is Fang Yi, and I’m here to apply for the job of drink promoter.” He had seen Li’s na on the job posting, so he was able to introduce himself so smoothly.
While speaking, Fang Yi closed the door behind him.
Manager Li simply sat back down in his own chair.
Without waiting for him to speak, Fang Yi sat down comfortably in a chair in front of the desk, his face beaming with an earnest smile.
Seeing that Fang Yi had a handso, refined appearance, Manager Li was a bit surprised but didn’t dislike him.
He said with so tact, “You’re here to apply for the position of drink promoter?
Fang Yi, right?
Do you know this job is generally not a man’s choice?”
Fang Yi did not understand and asked, “What do you an, Manager Li?” He genuinely didn’t get it.
Manager Li explained, “Well, typically, the best drink promoters for bars are won, as our bar sells alcohol, which is generally favored by male custors.
Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Fang Yi suddenly had an epiphany and said, “Oh, I see now.”
Drink promotion in a bar is generally best done by won, especially beautiful ones.
Why?
Because this significantly increases the purchase rate among the guests.
Fang Yi wouldn’t normally consider this job in an average bar, but the high commission here was too tempting to turn down.
To put it bluntly, he was short of money.
And why was he short of money?
Because the damn old man had taken all of it, leaving Fang Yi without a cent!
The company hadn’t paid him, so Fang Yi had to take on a part-ti job.
In fact, Fang Yi could have stuck to his original profession, but in Xuan Cang, he also had the responsibility of protecting Shen Binan.
It would be best to avoid trouble; hence, Fang Yi had to look for other work, such as being a drink promoter.
“When can I start work, Manager Li?” Fang Yi asked.
“What…
what?
You…” Manager Li was speechless.
He had made it very clear, yet this guy still wanted to continue.
After thinking it over, he said, “Alright, since you insist, you can start now.”
“And the commission?” Fang Yi inquired.
“A base salary of two thousand, with a twenty percent commission, and a seven-day trial period,” Manager Li replied.
He didn’t believe Fang Yi would be able to sell much as this job usually required a beautiful woman.
Fang Yi smiled faintly and said, “Okay.”
A twenty percent commission was quite high.
For example, with a bottle of liquor priced at a hundred yuan, selling it would earn him twenty yuan in commission.
In a mid-range bar like this one, there are bottles of liquor worth a thousand or even two thousand yuan; selling just one bottle would net him two hundred yuan.
Manager Li found soone to take Fang Yi to change into the staff uniform.
After getting dressed, Fang Yi made his way to the bar’s main hall.
Fang Yi didn’t act imdiately but instead took a stroll around the hall, when a man called out to him.
“Hey, I haven’t seen you before.
You’re new here, right?”
Fang Yi glanced at the man, nodded, and said, “My na is Fang Yi.
I’m here to be a drink promoter.”
The man laughed heartily and said, “I’m the one who watches over this place, my na is Jiang Tao.”
Fang Yi smiled and replied, “I’ll be looking forward to working with you.”
Jiang Tao said, “There’s no need for that, I’m just a enforcer.” After saying that, he couldn’t help but look at Fang Yi strangely and added, “A guy like you working here as a liquor promoter…”
Fang Yi knew what he was getting at and responded, “Why can’t a man do this job?
If won can use the ‘Beauty trap’, why can’t n use the ‘Beauty Trap’?”
Jiang Tao shook his head in disbelief and retorted, “Your idea sounds good, but it’s useless, right?”
Fang Yi pointed at a woman sitting alone and said, “Just watch, I’ll show you.”
Jiang Tao beca curious.
The woman was a white-collar worker, evident from her attire, sitting alone and drinking.
Fang Yi glanced at the bottle on her table—a little over a hundred dollars per bottle.
Fang Yi sat down in front of her.
The white-collar woman gave him a look, thinking to herself: he’s not bad-looking.
“Handso guy, what’s up?” asked the white-collar woman.
“Big issue,” Fang Yi said with a smile.
“It’s quite lonely drinking alone, how about I join you for a few drinks?”
The white-collar woman replied, “Sure…”
Then, Fang Yi started to drink with the white-collar woman.
A bottle was quickly emptied, and then Fang Yi said with a smile, “The bottle’s empty, how about we get another?”
To which the white-collar woman said, “One bottle isn’t enough, bring a few more.”
“Alright,” Fang Yi agreed.
He snapped his fingers, signaling a waiter to bring several more bottles, none of them expensive, still just a bit over a hundred dollars each.
He didn’t want to overcharge the white-collar woman.
From a distance, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened, “Damn, that actually works?” Initially, the white-collar woman could drink from one bottle for quite a while, but after Fang Yi joined her, that bottle was finished, and several more were ordered.
Isn’t this just accompanying her drinks?
But on second thought, it indeed also counts, as there was no rule saying that liquor promoters couldn’t serve as drinking companions.
“Jiang Tao, what are you looking at?” At that mont, a woman approached him.
Dressed in a tight, hip-hugging dress, with a gorgeous figure, wavy long hair, she was extrely sexy.
“Oh, Sister Zhou,” Jiang Tao pointed at Fang Yi, who was drinking with the white-collar woman, and said, “See that?
Sister Zhou, he’s the new guy.”
“A liquor promoter?” Sister Zhou was very curious.
“Yes, your competitor,” Jiang Tao said seriously.
“What?
Him, a competitor?
Don’t make laugh if he gets drunk in no ti,” Sister Zhou dismissed.
However, Fang Yi was quickly finishing his drinks with the white-collar woman.
Jiang Tao snapped his fingers and had a waiter tally those drinks under Fang Yi’s sales for the commission.
When Fang Yi returned, he couldn’t help but ask on seeing Sister Zhou next to Jiang Tao, “Jiang Tao, who is this beautiful lady…”
Hearing the words “beautiful lady,” Sister Zhou felt quite pleased and said, “My na is Zhou Qing, and I’m also a liquor promoter here.”
So, a colleague!
Fang Yi quickly extended his hand and grabbed Zhou Qing’s jade-like hand, shaking it as he said, “My apologies, my apologies.” Indeed, her hand felt pretty nice.
Zhou Qing was a bit amused and said, “I’m just like you, there’s no need for such formalities.”
But Fang Yi shook his head earnestly and said, “I’m new here, and you’re a senior.
I definitely need to show you respect.
If there’s anything I do wrong, please be patient with .
From now on, I’ll be depending on Sister Zhou to look after .”
As the saying goes, flattery gets you everywhere.
Now that he was going to be mixing in here, he had to establish good relationships.
