The deputy manager looked at him with immense envy: "Congratulations, Master! You'll soon rise to great heights. Don't forget me then!"
(The two are in a master-apprentice relationship: This is very normal in hotels. Newcomers recognize whoever trains them as their master. Of course, the title usually disappears over time as the position changes, but occasionally people will still use this title to make the relationship closer.)
Manager: "Haha...Thanks for your kind words! By the way, how long have you been with me...?"
Deputy Manager: "Three years!"
Manager: "It's been three years! For the past three years, I've been helping you liaise with the Heilongjiang personnel at the hotel. You should have figured out what's going on. After I leave, you'll take over my position."
The deputy manager was overjoyed: "Really? Can I do it? There are so many people in the hotel with more seniority than me, and I just got promoted to deputy manager..."
Manager: "If I say you can do it, you can do it! Even if you can't, you still can!"
Assistant Manager: "Thank you, Master!"
Manager: "You've been my apprentice for three years since you came to the hotel, so it's only right that I mentor you! But I need to give you a heads-up: you'll still be responsible for liaising with the Heilong Group. Do you know what to do?"
Deputy Manager: "Treat Heilong Group as Genting's most important guest, meet all of Heilong Group's requests to the best of our ability, and treat Heilong personnel as God: [Pay close attention, pay close attention, pay close attention]"
The manager waved his hand and said, "You don't understand! You need to remember! From today onwards, you can no longer think of yourself as an employee of Genting Hotel, but as an employee of Black Dragon Group. Everything must start from this point: even if it goes against the rules of Genting Hotel, you don't need to ask for permission; you should directly defend Black Dragon Group immediately... Do you understand?"
Assistant Manager: "Master...this..."
Manager: "What do you mean 'what'? I became a manager not only because of my abilities but also because I was chosen by Black Dragon. The same applies to making you a manager. As long as Black Dragon Group exists, no matter what you do, you will be a manager. Even if the CEO of Genting Hotel doesn't like you, he has to put up with it. But if Black Dragon Group is dissatisfied, you will definitely lose your position."
Deputy Manager: "But..."
The manager waved his hand: "I know what you're going to say, but it's not easy to please both sides. Rather than doing that, it's better to focus on one side and avoid being unable to take care of both."
After a moment's thought, the deputy manager nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will not let you down."
"Okay!" The manager nodded and said, "Come with me to the monitoring room and completely erase the surveillance footage, leaving no trace."
He understood the meaning behind Zhu Zheng's words before he left; he was clearly telling him to keep the surveillance footage clean and not leave any loose ends!
If it's broken... then don't bother fixing it!
...
At the same time, the manager called the owner of the Genting Hotel, skipping over today's events and getting straight to the point: "Boss! I need to submit my resignation. I'm reporting to the Black Dragon Group tomorrow, and my replacement is my apprentice! Okay! That's all... good..."
Snap!
He hung up the phone.
Deputy Manager: »ू(͒ˑ•᷄͡ꇵ͒•᷅͒)ू?!
"That's it!"
Manager: "Otherwise what..."
.....
Zhu Zheng: "Ma Li's eyes are darting around, he's obviously up to no good. Do you think he's deliberately provoking us? To cut off any possibility of the 49th Huanyu Group going back... that way his status as heir will be secure! Otherwise, a second-generation heir wouldn't be so reckless."
Qin Jiang nodded: "That's possible!"
It's unlikely that this second-generation heir is particularly stupid. What Zhu Zheng just said is the most likely possibility: that he deliberately came to provoke them, so that Si Jiu would develop a dislike for Huanyu Group and the Ma family, making it impossible for Si Jiu to return! Even if he did return, it would be difficult for him to compete with him for the right of succession.
That makes perfect sense!
Qin Jiang and Zhu Zheng looked at Si Jiu and said in unison:
What do you think?
49: "What am I looking at? What world? What Ma family? I can't be bothered with it. I have a family! I have Brother Jiang! And I have my parents!"
He paused for a moment before looking at Zhu Zheng: "And Ah Zheng!"
Zhu Zheng:......
Do you want to check how long you paused just now? But he's quite satisfied; at least Si Jiu added him! It wasn't a waste of time!
At the same time, the two could see that Si Jiu really didn't care about Huanyu Group or the Ma family. And that's true! He was never sensitive to money. For Si Jiu, as long as he could stay by Qin Jiang's side and have enough to eat, that was the happiest thing in the world.
Smack! Smack!
Qin Jiang patted Si Jiu on the shoulder: "Don't worry! Brother Jiang won't forget this! I'll make him realize that abandoning you was a mistake..."
Sijiu: "Hehe... I'll do whatever Brother Jiang says! Um... I'm hungry..."
Qin Jiang: "Haha..."
Zhu Zheng: "Haha..."
Qin Jiang: "Let's go! Let's eat!"
...
On the other side.
Led by several underlings, Ma Li ran until he reached a dead end before collapsing, panting heavily, and leaning on his legs.
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
Ma Li: "Where are they? Didn't they catch up?"
"No... I didn't hear any footsteps behind us, they shouldn't be chasing us... Li-ge, we're safe..."
"Brother Li! These guys are ruthless! They attacked without warning, and they outnumber us... They don't follow the rules of the underworld..."
"Brother Li, what should we do next..."
"What should we do!"
Ma Li roared angrily, "How could I let Qin Jiang get away with this? I'll show him who he is! I'll make him kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and his family will be destroyed..."
He took out his phone and made a call:
"Hey! Old Zhang! It's me, Ma Li! Hmm! Aren't you doing business in Bei Province? Do you have any connections? Help me get someone...no problem, right? Who? Qin Jiang, chairman of Heilong Group, I need him...Hey...Hey, why did you hang up...?"
"Beep beep... The number you dialed is currently switched off!"
"Hey... Chairman Liu! I heard your nephew's got connections in the underworld in Bei Province. Could you get him to handle something for... Qin Jiang... Yes! That Black Dragon Chairman... I can't... Wait... Why are you cursing me..."
"Hey...don't you have connections in the Northern Province government? What? You can't handle this either? Qin Jiang...who's behind him? Someone with connections in the Northern Province? Hey...hey..."
........
........
Ma Li's calls kept getting disconnected, and the people he contacted all backed down when they heard Qin Jiang's name.
Didn't they say it couldn't be done?
That means we need to take a long-term view!
He even called Hu Laoliu again, who told him on the phone: Leave Bei Province immediately! Otherwise... your life will be in danger, and told him that no one in Bei Province can touch Qin Jiang! Even his father wouldn't be able to do anything; this isn't just a local bully, but a local tyrant!
Beep beep....
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Ma Li's arrogant expression vanished, replaced by confusion: "No! Is the sky in Bei Province... really that dark?"
