25 Buying rings at Fengs - Part 3
Lu Jinhu demanded of Manager Yong "Make it a further thirty five percent discount, and throw in a necklace that my wife likes at no charge and we will not make that call, and accept your demeaning second VIP room"
"Master Lu the best that I could do, without getting the owner's permission is offer twenty percent." Stuttered Manager Yong, fully aware in addition to the normal ten percent discount that he gives Yang Lin, to prevent her from causing trouble, even at the additional twenty percent discount he will have serious explaining to do to the owner.
"Well get it.You have 3 minutes to get the permission, or you know what we will do.No more warnings," Lu Jinhu's response.
"Yes Sir".
Within thirty seconds Hou Yi's mobile was ringing."Give them the discount as a one off.I will see that you and the staff here do not lose out.As I said my wife does not want to deal with them." And with that he ended the call.
Anna wondered what was going on, and then heard Manager Yong say "The owner has approved the discount as a one off discount, to compensate you Master Lu, Madam Lu for the inconvenience of the first VIP room being unavailable."
They heard a squeal of excitement, which could only have come from Yang Lin, and Lu Jinhu said "Good.We will use the demeaning second VIP room on that basis, and we will remember the discount, that should always apply to us now that you have given it to us."
Anna, realised then, that Hou Yi must have something to do with this jewellery store, and turned to Hou Yi "What is your connection here?"
"Fengs is owned, by my family.If came into our family generations ago.Various family members have an interest in it, but the tradition is that the CEO of Hou Enterprises is considered to be the owner.Manager Yong is the only staff member here who knows this.I did not want Manager Yong telling them the owner was here as Yang Lin knows that there is some family connection here, and she has until now used this as a means to demand huge discounts from staff.They have always been tight-lipped about how she has done it, but at least now I know, which means that I can not only put a stop to it, but it is something that we can use to bring them down.However, as I said, we were not moving, nor should we have to simple because a spoilt little witch comes in and demands it.The fact that someone is in the room should have been enough for her, to accept another room.Each is as good as the other, this room is simply called VIP Room 1, the others being know as VIP Room 2 and VIP Room 3, is simply to identify the rooms nothing else.Further, all staff will be advised that any discounts offered them now have to be approved outside the business – that will take care of Yang Lin's abuse of power to get discounts."
"I cannot believe it."
