Chapter 67
The sun slanted to the west, and the sunlight fell on the Great Wall, forming a golden radiance, which made people feel soft and warm.

Before Lu Tu and the others reached the highest peak, Wang Yuan and Li Xiaorou proposed to return.

The two women couldn't resist the attack of the cold wind. Even though it was early summer and the sun was shining brightly, they were still shivering from the cold in their thin clothes. Only when they returned to the vicinity of the village did they feel their bodies warmed up a lot.

Huang Jie came back sweating profusely and said, "I don't think I've had enough fun yet. It would be great if I could go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery!"

He ran and jumped all the way, climbed up and down without stopping, and really had a lot of fun!

Lu Tu said with a smile: "There are staff on the top of the mountain, we don't speak Miao language, if we meet, we have to pay for the fare. And the time is almost up, my uncle's dinner is early, and now I can go back just in time for dinner .”

Huang Jie asked with a smile: "Dinner at four o'clock? Then they must have two meals, right? Few people in our place eat two meals, but three meals!"

Li Hui nodded, and said with emotion: "It seems that this place is indeed poor!"

He looked at Lu Tu again and asked, "Can you drive? You should be drinking later. We have to find someone who doesn't drink to help drive."

Before Lu Tu could answer, Huang Jie hurriedly said, "I'll drive, I'll drive! Brother Li, I won't drink later, let me drive! I have a driver's license, really!"

Lu Tu didn't know much about cars, so he thought Li Hui was driving a Passat, but Huang Jie saw it right away, it was a Phaeton!
The two cars look somewhat similar, but the Phaeton is a genuine low-key luxury car.

He had just obtained his driver's license, and when he saw a good car, he felt a little itchy. On the way here, he wanted to find an opportunity to get started, but everyone was not familiar with it at the time, so he didn't have the nerve to speak.Now that the opportunity came, he would naturally not miss it. He desperately raised his hand to speak, like a primary school student scrambling to answer questions, his appearance was ridiculous.

Li Hui laughed, took out the car key and threw it to him, saying, "Okay! Then our lives will be in your hands!"

I have to say that fate is really a wonderful thing.We have known each other for less than a day, but now we can get along like old friends for many years.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Lu Tu's efforts to create a good team atmosphere.

He feels that in order for guests to have a comfortable and comfortable travel experience, "food, lodging, travel, shopping and entertainment" - both are indispensable, and one aspect cannot be particularly emphasized, nor can one aspect be deliberately ignored.

So after shopping in the morning, he specially arranged a trip to the Great Wall of the South.This is not the plan on the company's itinerary, but an adjustment he made on his own to make up for the lack of customer journey experience.

Facts have proved that although they only took them to the village and the Great Wall for a stroll, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile, and the relationship became closer because of it. It can be said that the effect is remarkable.

While chatting and laughing, several people lifted the wooden boards in the watchtower, stepped down the stairs one by one, and returned to Yingpanzhai.

"I sit here and watch the time go by..."

Lu Tu's cell phone rang, he took it out and took a look, it was Zhang Yi's call, and picked it up.

"Hey, Lu Tu, where are you? Hurry up and come to the meeting, everyone is here, and you are the only one missing! The phone can't get through, what are you doing!" Zhang Yi complained, his voice was deafening .

Lu Tu had to put his phone far away, and shouted into the phone: "Hello, hello? The signal is not good. I'm taking tourists in the mountains, so I can't hear you clearly!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. Seeing Li Hui and others looking at him curiously, he smiled and explained to them, "The company phone said it was a meeting. But I'm leading a group, so I can't take you Abandon yourself and run back? And the signal here is really bad, so just pretend you don’t know.”

Everyone laughed, Li Hui even gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Yuan asked: "Then the company has a meeting, so it doesn't matter if you don't go back?"

Lu Tu glanced at his phone, no one called again, he shook his head and said, "I haven't been notified before, so it shouldn't be an important meeting. Besides, my wife is also at the company, so she will tell me if something happens."

Now everyone was relieved, talking and laughing, they walked towards Long Xiuen's house.

Back home, the steaming food had just been served on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the old man Gu Huasheng was carrying a bucket of Baogu Shao and was pouring wine into a plastic bowl.The little black dog was lying on the ground, holding a big bone with both paws, and biting desperately.

Lu Tu picked up his phone, took a photo and sent it to Long Lanxiang. He had told her on WeChat before that he would bring guests to the countryside to play.

Just now Zhang Yi called, but she didn't call. Lu Tu guessed that either she didn't want to call, or the content of the meeting was not very important. That's why he hung up the phone directly.

In fact, Lu Tu didn't have to hang up Zhang Yi's phone, but he was really bored with the company's attitude.

Every time I make a phone call, no matter who they are, they always have a superior and aggressive appearance, which makes people feel very uncomfortable after listening to it.That's why he used this method to euphemistically express his dissatisfaction!

In his view, the tour guide and the company are a cooperative relationship, not an employment relationship!Therefore, while he respects his boss, he also hopes to get the respect he deserves from the company.

Is there anything that cannot be said well, and can only be expressed clearly in a tone of lecture and reprimand?

Long Lanxiang quickly replied to the message, "Darling, don't worry about Zhang Yi, he's just crazy! Treat your guests well!"

Lu Tu couldn't help smiling, and he could imagine the picture in his mind, how annoyed she was when she sent this message.

"What's the theme of the meeting?"

"The problem of stealing orders! Zhang Yi said that performance appraisal should be strengthened, and fines will be imposed if the task is not completed! We are arguing with him!"

"Then his attitude towards the tour guide can be even worse! As long as he is arrogant enough, I don't think anyone will dare to steal orders in the future!" Lu Tu sent a mocking sentence.

"?"

"Hahaha!"

"Honey, you're such a genius! I won't talk to you now, so I won't scold him to death!"

Long Lanxiang replied three messages in a row. Obviously, she didn't understand Lu Tu's meaning at first, but after reacting, she immediately understood the core of the problem!
Benefit!The root of all differences and contradictions is inseparable from interests!

Lu Tu's meaning is very simple: if the company's commission policy for tour guides is not 20%, but 50%, then the problem of stealing orders will not exist at all!

When the tour guide accepts the company's head mission, it is equivalent to paying the price of receiving the group.

The rest of the billing benefits are actually the legitimate income obtained by tour guides by virtue of their own quality and ability.

Since the company wants to make an idea in this regard, it can't take it away with empty words - either give the tour guide a 50% commission like the merchant, or come up with a corresponding compensation policy, that is a normal and reasonable approach!
Zhang Yi thought that as long as the company issued relevant performance appraisal policies, it would be able to completely solve this problem.

Everyone understands the truth that there is only one time and countless times of fines!
So let him talk about the hype, the tour guide will never accept such overbearing terms!

Not to mention that the tour guide is not a soft persimmon, which can be decided by the company.

It is said that there are nearly a thousand large and small travel companies and travel agencies in Fenghuang County. If he unilaterally introduces this policy, it is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall himself!
Once the company loses its competitiveness, the vacated market will soon be divided up by others!

Thinking of this, Lu Tu couldn't help shaking his head.

He didn't expect that such a shrewd person like Zhang Yi would make such a mistake!
But he didn't know that the reason why Zhang Yi did this was because he was stimulated by his sales performance in the morning.But right now, except for a few people like Long Lanxiang, no other tour guide really knows about his "great achievements"!
"Tour guides don't get a penny of salary from the company, and they don't even have five social insurances and one housing fund. What effect can the so-called performance appraisal play? After all, isn't it because they are jealous of the tour guide's income? But we work under tremendous pressure. , shouldn’t you get this little income?”

"Nowadays society is full of malicious comments on tour guides, and no one will help to say a good word! Travel companies and travel agencies make a lot of money, why don't people make irresponsible remarks about their behavior? In the final analysis, it is because this profession is too irregular!"

While he was still standing there thinking about it, Huang Jie pushed his arm and shouted loudly: "Brother Lu, what are you thinking? Stop playing with your phone, didn't you hear my uncle calling you several times? "

Lu Tu hurriedly put away his phone, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now!"

Long Xiuen glanced at him, handed over a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and said, "You are chatting with Lan Xiang? No wonder you can't hear me!"

Everyone roared with laughter!

Lu Tu took the bowls and chopsticks, sat down beside Huang Jie, and said with a smile: "Lan Xiang said she was going to quarrel with someone! I was wondering if that person would be scolded and cried by her, in case What should I do if someone comes to my door and asks me to lose money!"

Everyone laughed again.

Li Hui laughed so hard that he gasped for a long time before saying, "Xiao Lu, you usually look serious, but you can laugh to death when you tell jokes!"

Long Xiuen distributed the six full bowls of wine to everyone. Huang Jie had told him just now that he would not drink while driving. In addition, Lu Tu's aunt also did not drink. As for the others, they did not express their opinions. Naturally, he was allocated according to the head.

Looking at the big bowl of wine in front of her, Wang Yuan couldn't help but straighten her eyes, feel trembling in her heart, and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle...uncle, is this for me?"

Gu Huasheng smiled at her, and said confidently: "Yes, everyone has a bowl, and they are not allowed to leave the table until they finish drinking!"

Wang Yuan was dumbfounded, and stammered, "But...but, I...I don't know how to drink!"

Seeing this, Li Xiaorou laughed wildly, finally stopped laughing, supported her shoulders, and said proudly: "It's okay, Yuanyuan! You can drink as much as you can, and I'll help you drink the rest!"

Wang Yuan puffed up her face and stared at her, but refused to speak.

Li Hui waved to her and said, "Don't! I know your drinking capacity, I can't finish my own, and you still want to drink for Yuanyuan, so don't make a fuss here!"

Long Xiuen brought back two bowls of wine, put them in front of himself and Gu Huasheng, changed them to two empty bowls, and said, "I thought you could all drink that, so I poured so much wine. No It’s okay to drink, leave it to us to drink slowly. You can drink as much as you can, here is the same as at home, there are not so many rules.”

Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Thank you uncle, can I drink plain water?"

Long Xiuen pointed to the kettle behind her, signaling her to pour it herself.

The host's attitude is very easy-going, and everyone can't help but relax.

Wang Yuan poured boiled water for herself and Huang Jie, Li Xiaorou poured half a bowl of wine for herself, and everyone was ready for the banquet.

Long Xiuen dipped his chopsticks in the wine and ordered three times, then picked up the wine bowl and said, "Welcome to be a guest at home, there is nothing to entertain! Eat and drink whatever you want, let's start!"

After speaking, he raised his head and drank it down.

Gu Huasheng laughed, and took a full bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Hui was dumbfounded, a bowl of wine was in his hand, he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it.

He just looked at the label of the plastic bucket, 52 degrees of bun!When did this kind of high-grade wine have been reduced to the level of plain water, and could be dried up bowl by bowl?

Lu Tu picked up the bowl and touched him, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, let's drink slowly, one sip is enough!"

Long Xiuen wiped his mouth, waved his hand and said: "We are used to drinking, you can drink as much as you want, don't follow us."

He poured the two bowls of wine into Gu Huasheng's bowl and his own, and motioned to him, "How about it, old man, another one?"

Gu Huasheng hiccupped, shook his head and said, "If you want to drink, drink it yourself. I have to take it slowly."

Long Xiuen laughed loudly, put down the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and greeted everyone to eat.

A large bowl of bacon, a large bowl of stewed chicken, a large bowl of fish, wild mushrooms, scrambled eggs with chili, and vinegared cabbage.

Five dishes and one soup, there are not many dishes, but the portion is full!
Everyone picked up vegetables one after another, and the little black dog crawled under the table, finding bones falling from time to time, and was very busy.

Li Hui tasted several sips in a row, and he was full of admiration, and said: "Today is a blessing, all of them are green food!"

Gu Huasheng picked up the bowl and signaled to him: "Come on, young man, don't just eat, the wine hasn't touched yet!"

Li Hui took a sip with him, and simply didn't sit down. He held up a bowl of wine and made a toast. He just finished drinking, and then raised his eyebrows at Gu Huasheng as a signal.

After he was seated, Wang Yuan continued to serve him food, telling him to suppress his drink quickly.

Gu Huasheng didn't compete with Long Xiuen for wine, but launched an offensive against Li Hui again and again, and the atmosphere at the wine table became extremely lively.

Lu Tu didn't want to drink too much at first, but after seeing Li Hui drink a bowl and a half, he became a little overwhelmed, so he had to pick up the bowl and offer a round of wine, and blocked him twice by the way.

Just like this, you come and go, and in less than an hour, the four of them drank almost four catties of liquor.

Li Xiaorou saw that Lu Tu couldn't stand it anymore, she gritted her teeth and stood up, raised a bowl to toast the two old men, taking advantage of being a woman, and accompanied them to drink up the remaining catty of wine.

The banquet came to an end here, Lu Tu and others got up to say goodbye and left, agreeing to visit uncle again next time.

The three of them were almost [-]% drunk. Fortunately, they drank high alcohol, so they were not unable to walk.

Because of this, Li Hui became eloquent, talking non-stop with Lu Lutu,
"Xiao Lu, you are a good tour guide! Good friend! Good brother! My brother is very happy today! I spent money and played happily! I am even more happy to know you! Haha, do you know? You are a person Very sincere! There are not so many twists and turns, and there are not so many tricks! In the future, if you encounter problems, just tell your brother! You know?"

Lu Tu was hugged by his shoulders, nodded from time to time, and finally said with a smile: "Brother Li, I am also very happy to have a friend like you!"

Looking at their backs, Wang Yuan suddenly felt in a good mood, and looked back at Yingpanzhai.

As the sun sets, it hangs obliquely on the top of the mountain, and the afterglow falls, covering this ancient village with a layer of golden gauze like cicada wings, adding some mysterious colors.

This trip is really worth it!
