Manager Feng Ke Xin continued to point at Xu Mi Yu’s nose angrily: “Xu Mi Yu, I have to let you know one thing – besides the chairman, it’s me who calls the shots in this hotel, got it? Not understanding, huh? Okay, let me make it clear for you: The chairman of this hotel is family of mine. Even if you send him ten complaint emails, he won’t fire me as you wished. I’ll still be the head of the room department!”
When Xu Mi Yu heard this, she was surprised for a moment.
Feng Ke Xin wasn’t finished. “Xu Mi Yu, you think you’re quite capable now? Don’t think that with your clean and innocent act, I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind the scenes! I’m asking you, did you or did you not send an email to the chairman to report me? You still dare to claim brazenly that it’s for the hotel’s development and hope the chairman can consider firing me – what do you think you’re doing?!”
Xu Mi Yu calmly listened to Feng Ke Xin’s rampage. She only showed a moment of emotion when she heard about the email.
“Alright, I understand now,” she digested what she heard, then said, “I’ve sent the email to the wrong person. That’s it.” Suddenly, she lifted her head, with a gleam of resolute courage in her eyes, “Then, I’ll just selectively extract everything about how you ordered us to ‘prop up the scene’ for your drinking party that night, and what vulgar and excessive things you said, and send them collectively to the emails of all hotel staff.”
Outside the door, Xue Rui couldn’t help calling out “Good!” upon hearing this.
He was a little excited and told Ji Feng: “Sister Mi Yu is really capable. That night I indeed saw her fiddling with her phone after ending the call on the balcony. It turns out she was recording! Boss boss, we clearly misjudged before and thought she was timid. Look how courageous and scheming she is! Right?”
However, he didn’t get a response from Ji Feng.
Inside the office, Feng Ke Xin was scolding Xu Mi Yu with his finger pointed at her nose: “…Xu Mi Yu, Xu Mi Yu, I didn’t expect you to be so shameless, do you think glorifying such escorting business? You even wish to publicize it far and wide?”
Xu Mi Yu clenched her fists, giving herself courage. She told herself she was no longer the timid Xu Mi Yu of the past, she had become a brand new tough Xu Mi Yu. She bravely resisted the accusation of loose woman bestowed by Feng Ke Xin: “Why can’t I publicize it far and wide? I just want everyone to know that the drinking party was organized by you, everyone was forcibly called by you, and the shameless one is you, not us, as long as people with morality, conscience and sense of right and wrong can tell clearly.”
Feng Ke Xin was at a loss for words after being resisted, and started throwing a tantrum, angrily saying: “Xu Mi Yu, you unscrupulous woman, I now announce that you are fired, effective immediately!!”
His words just fell when two voices sounded at the same time:
“Hold on.”
The two people who said “Hold on” simultaneously were Ji Feng and Nie Yu Cheng who hurried over again.
After stopping Feng Ke Xin in unison, they also intended to enter the office together without an appointment.
Ji Feng glanced at Xue Rui, and Xue Rui immediately stepped forward, blocking Nie Yu Cheng’s way.
Nie Yu Cheng was puzzled and asked Xue Rui: “What are you blocking me for?” While turning aside, trying to get around Xue Rui, but failing to get past him.
At this time, Xue Rui was completely unlike his usual talkative self. He looked cold like an emotionless bodyguard, densely blocking Nie Yu Cheng.
Without competing, Ji Feng entered the office alone.
He stood in front of Xu Mi Yu, like a thick screen completely protecting her behind him.
Then he looked up at Feng Ke Xin, with his characteristic disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
He spoke casually: “Manager Feng, let me notify you that Xu Mi Yu is not under your department, you have no authority to appoint or decide her fate.”
When Feng Ke Xin heard this, he was stunned for a moment before recognizing the man as the VIP guest from last time who had defended Xu Mi Yu. However, at the same time, he didn’t want to appear too timid in front of him, so he deliberately straightened his chest and pretended to be reasonable: “She belongs to my room department as a room service staff. If not my department, whose department would she be?”
Ji Feng swept Feng Ke Xin a glance, as if sweeping a feather – light and without weight. He notified him lightly: “She was transferred to the lobby department just a minute ago.”
Feng Ke Xin looked at Ji Feng stupidly: “What? The lobby department? How do I not know about this? Who issued the order?” He felt Ji Feng was delusional, but this lunatic said the absurd transfer as if it was a fact, so people couldn’t help being deceived temporarily.
Ji Feng said lightly: “I issued the order.”
Feng Ke Xin broke into scornful laughter: “Who are you? Are you okay? Are you daydreaming about ruling Dezhou Hotel?” He implied very clearly: Who the hell are you? Are you out of your mind to fantasize about ruling Dezhou Hotel here?
Ji Feng ignored him and directly called out to Xue Rui outside: “When will he arrive? Hurry up and ask him to come tell this question-asking person who I am.”
Xue Rui knew Ji Feng meant Wei Si Yuan.
He blocked Nie Yu Cheng with one hand while making a phone call with the other.
The phone was connected, and he said out loud: “The general asked where you are.”
A breathless but polite male voice replied anxiously: “Tell the general I just got off the elevator, I’ll be there in ten seconds!”
The call was hung up by Xue Rui.
Feng Ke Xin heard the voice from the receiver in the busy office, and his expression changed subtly. The noisy environment made the voice lose some authenticity, but it still gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
The next second, that kind of strange familiarity was verified. Dezhou Hotel’s boss, his cousin, Chairman Wei Si Yuan of Dezhou, hurried over from outside his office.
Everyone was particularly surprised by Wei Si Yuan’s appearance, with Ke Wen Xue unconsciously exclaiming “Damn!” Xu Mi Yu quietly asked her: “Who is this?”
She just started working here, so she hadn’t familiarized herself with all the higher-ups yet. From this person’s entrance aura and the reactions of others, he should be a top-level figure in the higher-ups.
Ke Wen Xue lowered her voice nervously telling Xu Mi Yu: “He’s our hotel’s boss, Chairman Wei Si Yuan of Dezhou Hotel.”
Xu Mi Yu immediately widened her eyes in astonishment.
More people gathered outside to watch, including from other floors who came after hearing the news, hoping to see the climax and resolution of this drama.
Wei Si Yuan asked Feng Ke Xin to close the door first, saying angrily: “With so many people watching outside, is this dignified?”
Feng Ke Xin quickly retreated his neck and scurried to close the door. When closing it, he still didn’t forget to drive out a wave of people: “The chairman is here, aren’t you all leaving? How dare you be so bold!”
Seeing Nie Yu Cheng and Xue Rui outside, he hesitated for a moment. Kicking them out would be impolite, but letting them in would lose face for himself.
Wei Si Yuan urged him from inside: “What are you dawdling at the door for?”
Feng Ke Xin gritted his teeth and directly closed the office door, no longer caring about Nie Yu Cheng and Xue Rui.
Nie Yu Cheng wanted to rush in before the door closed, but Xue Rui was still blocking him like a plaster.
Nie Yu Cheng was irritated and asked Xue Rui to move aside. Xue Rui raised his chin high with a cold demeanor, his face full of provocation saying he wouldn’t budge.
The two men continued their standoff outside the door.
Although the door blocked the scene, it couldn’t block the voices inside.
The people outside hadn’t left either. Even encountering the hotel’s No. 1 figure, they still wanted to eavesdrop on the climax.
Who would give up such a rare gossip in their entire career? It must be eavesdropped till the end.
Inside the office, Ji Feng pointed at Feng Ke Xin and told Wei Si Yuan: “He questioned who I am and doubted my authority over Dezhou Hotel. Can you please explain to him, Chairman Wei?”
Wei Si Yuan was about to find an excuse to get out of it, when Feng Ke Xin tried to provoke the fire: “Second cousin…Chairman Wei, you don’t know, this kid is too arrogant, he acts as if he owns Dezhou Hotel. He said things that plainly doesn’t put you in his eyes…”
“Shut up!” Wei Si Yuan yelled at Feng Ke Xin angrily.
“Be quiet and mind your own business!” He added angrily.
Feng Ke Xin was indignant but reluctantly suppressed: “How come you scold me like this, why are you siding with him?”
Wei Si Yuan slapped Feng Ke Xin hard on the head: “Didn’t I tell you to shut up and you’re still deaf? Where are your manners, boy? This kid is the boss of Jingji Hotel, and will soon be the new boss of Dezhou Hotel! Dezhou Hotel is currently in the process of being acquired, get it?”
Feng Ke Xin froze on the spot.
He wasn’t the only one stunned – everyone present was shocked by the news.
Even the onlookers outside erupted in exclaims.
Nie Yu Cheng’s eyes widened as he stared at Xue Rui, his eyes complex and indescribable.
Inside, Ke Wen Xue subconsciously said “Damn!” again. Yin Xiang couldn’t help but join in with “Damn!” too. Luo Qingling’s eyes bulged like a cow’s.
Xu Mi Yu was so shocked that the hairs on her head stood up.
She was still digesting the shock and oscillating emotions when she discovered another new identity of Ji Feng’s. Not only the boss of the benchmark Jingji Hotel locally, but soon to be the new boss of Dezhou Hotel.
Thinking of Ji Feng’s business blueprint she pieced together from news reports – his plan to dominate the hotel industry in the area after integrating and listing acquired quality local five-star hotels under Jingji – it all made sense now. It’s no wonder he was acquiring assets overseas and within the country. But she never expected at the time to be able to understand him on this level.
Her feelings of surprise and reverence undulated intensely as this new identity of Ji Feng was revealed.
In the midst of the shock, she belatedly realized one more time how capable Ji Feng actually was, much more than just a handsome appearance that mocks and dislikes others. He was truly…amazing.
