Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife
79 Two Fishes in the Pond
Director Tian was already dragged to the conference with the other following behind him and watching him in interest. They couldn't wait to watch him humiliate himself in front of everyone.
During the time that everyone was in conflict with Director Tian, he would boast about being one of the original employees, who watched the hotel grow and even said to the new hotel staff that he had done so much for the hotel that they should feel thankful to him and start giving him some salary increase.
At that time, the new staff members had no idea what really transpired in the past, and they quickly got manipulated into thinking that Director Tian was telling the truth.
They supported him and treated him like a servant would do just to get more favors from him.
But who knew that all of that was a hoax that he used to take advantage of the staff members!
"Tch... What original employee, you're just a white-eyed wolf who dared try to take advantage of the one who's feeding you!" A shareholder named Lacson pointed angrily at Director Tian.
Director Tian never felt this humiliated.
The shareholder who had just pointed at him was one of the people who tried to butter him up and flatter him thoroughly after knowing that Director Tian had a few connections with other wealthy families.
At that time, did they dare call him a white-eyed wolf?
Director Tian wanted to laugh at the people who tried to get connections and favors from him, trying to wash their necks and hands from the crimes they committed now that they saw him falling to this level.
But he couldn't even move as the deep fear of what was about to come rendered him speechless and anxious.
What about Huo Chang? Director Tian wondered and looked sideways as though he was thinking of something.
And he is.
As far as he could remember, Huo Chang was scheduled to meet a prominent figure in a restaurant this afternoon. If Huo Chang was fast enough to get out of the hotel, he could find out about what happened to him, Director Tian, and find a way to get him out of here.
Thinking like this, Director Tian could only hope that Huo Chang was smarter and not as lazy as he had always been to meet that important person.
At the same time, when there was a massive commotion on the upper floors of the hotel, Huo Chang, who was Director Tian's beacon light, was walking in the lobby.
He was sauntering as if nothing in this world could force him to bow down.
Humming happily, Huo Chang fished his phone from his front pocket and sent a message. Soon after a few seconds, he received a letter from President Qin, telling him that he was already in the restaurant where they planned to meet.
Huo Chang was highly shocked and almost bumped against a hotel guest who had just entered through the entrance. After he briefly screamed out his apology to the guest, he quickly dashed towards his new car that was parked in the VIP parking slot.
Looking around the parking slot used only by the VIP guests, Huo Chang sighed when he was sure no one was following him. He hopped inside his car and started the engine before driving off to the restaurant where President Qin was currently and patiently waiting for him.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he made no time to waste and directly went to the private room that President Qin had already reserved for them.
"President Qin!" Huo chang beamingly greeted upon entering the private room.
President Qin was holding a teacup in his hand before slowly putting it down. His noble bearing couldn't be denied with how he moved, which stunned and excited Huo Chang even more.
"Manager Huo..." President Qin nodded his head and pointed at the chair across him, "Come in and don't just stand there. Sit down."
Like a dog who had found a new owner teasing him with a tasty bone, Huo Chang sat down and started running his mouth off about what had happened in the hotel this past week.
President Qin listened silently and only nodded or hummed when needed. He looked poised and serene compared to the highly energetic Huo Chang.
Finally, the old president opened his mouth. "By the way, have you done what I told you to do last night?"
Huo Chang didn't need any hint to understand what President Qin was talking about and thrust his two thumbs up in the air.
"Of course! I made sure that the moment that actress appears in the lobby, her room would be changed to the room number you wanted." Huo Chang said while looking down at the mouth-drooling worthy dishes in front of him.
President Qin had a rare smile on his lips upon hearing his answer. "Really? That's excellent."
Huo Chang smiled. "You know me, President Qin. I am quick with my hands and actions. I always do what I can to please a friend."
President Qin's index finger tapped the surface of the table, a habit a few could only know if they really knew him. It was a habit indicating that he was displeased.
However, Huo Chang didn't know that President Qin didn't like being friends with him because he was preoccupied with putting more food on his plate.
When he was satisfied with the hill of food he created on his plate, Huo Chang looked up, and the annoyed expression that President Qin had on his face quickly vanished as if it didn't appear in the first place.
Oblivious to the other's reaction, Huo Chang held his chopsticks and asked: "But... President Qin, did you perhaps tell anybody about this?"
"No... I never even told a soul about it. Aside from you, of course." President Qin took another sip from his tea. "Why are you asking?"
Huo Chang stared at him. "My brother-in-law came looking for me before I came here."
"Director Tian?" President Qin had an impression on Director Tian. He was quite a character, too much like Huo Chang. "Why did he come looking for you?"
Huo Chang scrutinized him for a second, and when he saw that President Qin was genuinely asking, he replied: "There were some reports against us brothers, and the higher-ups have a plan to fire us. I was only asking merely because I'm worried someone from your side made an unthinkable action without telling you."
President Qin frowned. "I treat you and Director Tian like brothers. Of course, our dealings are concealed away from other people. As for whether I have told this to anybody else... No, there is no one. You and I only know what happened last night and what is the content of our dealings."
Huo Chang finally sighed in relief after hearing that. President Qin was a trustworthy man. Surely, he wouldn't lie to him, right?
Last night, after Huo Chang received a call from President Qin, he quickly did the job. He had taken out the actress's name on the guest list that reserved the rooms for the cast of a movie currently filming in the city.
He also followed President Qin's instructions. He let the hotel staff give the actress the room number that the president had chosen himself. But Huo Chang found out that the room that President Qin had told him was already occupied by someone else.
Shockingly, the room was occupied by a wealthy young master from a rich family in City D. Huo Chang wondered why President Qin helped someone so much as to send the actress to curry favor with a wealthy young master.
But then, he later realized that President Qin wasn't trying to help the actress... because the young master was really not 'young' at all. The wealthy man was already close to his forties and weighed more than 200 pounds, who was also infamous for abusing the women who curry favors from him.
Thinking about it again, it was Huo Chang who let this young master in and avail a room in the hotel in the first place?
Well, forget it. It's not his own fault that the actress fell in the hands of a lecherous man. Anyway, he was still getting a lot of benefits through this.
Huo Chang wickedly smiled and raised his teacup in place of a wine glass for a celebratory toast. "To our long cooperation, President Qin."
"To our long cooperation, Manager Huo." President Qin similarly raised his teacup and gently bumped it against the other, causing the cups to produce a crisp 'thunk' sound from the impact.
They both continued with their meal, laughing and talking about everything while not knowing that a stroke of herculean bad luck was coming in their way after offending the wife of a person they should have never stood against with.
