Chapter 487 Badass Keung
Keung's speech spread like wildfire. His bold and does-not-care attitude sent a shockwave among all. Many didn't even know who Keung really was because he was abroad all this time.
But now everybody did.
As Keung returned to the company, he was greeted with all the employees standing straight at his sight. He frowned.
"Why are you all huddled together like this? It feels like we are in the army…"
Their mouths twitched.
Mr. Pei coughed and came forward. "Sir, we saw your press conference."
He raised his brow and sneered. "That was a chilly comeback to all the dissers, right? I am so proud of myself."
"..."
"Sure we will talk about that too, but first…"
Suddenly, all the female employees burst into tears. Keung's jaw dropped in shock.
"W-What did I do now? Why can't anybody be happy no matter what I do!?"
They shook their heads.
"Sir, you thanked us in front of the media."
"You apologized to us…"
"You even raised our salaries for us…Double the salaries. I feel like passing out." They sniffled.
"O-oh that…" Keung cleared his throat. "Well, it's no big deal. Forget about it. The main part if I finally addressed the nation. Now nobody will stick their noses in my matters."
Now, the male employees burst into tears.
"..."
No, seriously, what the hell!
"Sir, why did you do that? Do you understand how much hate you will get now?"
"You basically closed our hotels for everybody who might have problems with same sex couples which…the customers…won't really like it…"
"Customers are God in the hospitality industry. What if everybody shuns us?"
"Oh no…what if they start a rebellion against us?"
They clutched their heads in distress and sobbed hard.
Keung rolled his eyes. "Oh gosh. I seriously wonder how you worked with Grandpa all these years? Especially the older generations."
The older and more experienced managers and executives clutched their chests. "Sir, you are just like Sir Han Huizhong."
"He used to give us heart attacks like these out of the blue and laugh loudly as if it didn't matter at all."
"My hair turned grey so fast because of him!"
"He also took many crazy and bold decisions in his time and offended many people in his time."
The newer employees felt a crisis coming.
Is it our turn for our hair to go grey now?
Keung dryly smiled. "Stop whining first of all. Nothing's going to happen. How did you survive with my Grandpa? It was important to set them straight because they would never stop until somebody put a harsh brake on their words. Also, it was a high time that we accepted customers from every society and community. You say customers are God, right? Then why was nobody in this industry treating these customers with respect and including them in their guest list?"
Everybody fell silent.
"For us, all customers are equal. We shouldn't care what their orientation is. That is their personal choice and none of my concern. I just want to squeeze their pockets out of all their cash and get all the profits."
"..."
Such villainous words…
He sneered. "Also, I don't buy that customers are Gods, okay? They are all equal to me, but they are not Gods. We need them, and they need us. It's a symbiotic relationship. There are certain decisions a company takes where they cannot interfere and neither will I tolerate that. There is a difference in treating them like Gods and treating ourselves like their slaves."
They coughed.
"This is my company. All I want is to run it in a way that will benefit both of us, not just them. If they cannot accept that, then go to hell. Search for another hotel who will kiss their ass."
"!!!"
"Heh. But they won't go to other hotels because Han Corps is a brand. We provide the best and unbeatable services. They are simply irresistible. So your Godly customers might cry and whine for a while, but in the end, they will come back to us. How did you think Grandpa survived in this industry with his crazy and eccentric methods and offending people wherever he went and spitting poison out of his mouth every time?"
That was a good point indeed, everybody agreed.
He waved his hand. "So, chill. The fire would die down in a while."
—
The media was on fire again. This time, it was because a female employee had recorded Keung's speech in the company after he had returned.
At first, she was scared and quickly regretted posting the video, but when Keung saw it, he was quite pleased. "Oh, I look handsome in this angle. Good job. Upload it everywhere. You can caption it as Part 2 of my enlightening speech for the homophobes."
"..."
Isn't this just inviting the God of Wrath himself?
In the car as Xinyi and Zhiyuan were heading to the hospital for he monthly checkup, Xinyi laughed hard. "Oh God, Keung is such a badass. I never knew he had this side."
Zhiyuan was rolling in laughter himself. "Yeah. Keung was a reserved boy when we were young. But it was because of Uncle Mingli and Aunt Guang who always held him back. Now that he is taking the decisions himself and not listening to them, it's like he has finally discovered his true self."
She smiled. "I am so glad for him. Everybody in the company must be so happy too."
He nodded.
After her checkup went smoothly, they decided to take a stroll in the park. He helped her sit down on a bench.
Xinyi pouted and tugged on his coat. "I really want to eat some ice cream…"
He chuckled and tapped on her nose. "You and Siying are the same, I tell you."
She grinned.
"Wait here. There is an ice cream parlor over there. I will bring some."
"En!"
Xinyi was excited and giggled. "Hehe, you are excited for ice cream too, right? She touched her belly and talked to her daughter.
As some people passed by, they frowned at her and whispered among themselves.
"Hey isn't she…?"
"Yeah, yeah, she is that Han Corps CEO's sister-in-law!"
