My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

Lin Ping sneered but did not stop him.

He was waiting to pick up his sister and brother-in-law, and didn't have time to deal with Deng Wei.

But after today, he'll definitely come after him. That son of a bitch, daring to mess with me is tantamount to defying the Heavenly Gang! My name is Lin Ping, don't think I'm Lin Pingzhi!
However, just as Deng Wei reached the hotel's revolving door, a security guard stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Sir, you cannot enter at this time—"

What the heck does that mean?
Just as Deng Wei was about to lose his temper, he suddenly remembered what Han Xue had just said.

Seriously? Are you serious?
"Your Junxiao Lakeside Hotel is a big business that bullies its customers. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Deng Wei said, as if he were "threatening" someone.

Unfortunately, the security guards didn't care about any of that; they were just following instructions.

"Please wait a moment, the result will be available in 20 minutes at most."

"Okay, okay—I'll complain about this to your hotel's management."

"Don't you know that the customer is king?"

Annoyed by his words, the security guard retorted, "Sir, we Chinese don't believe in God. God is nothing but a fart in our eyes!"

"."

Damn, that makes sense!

The saying "the customer is king" has always struck Deng Wei as something wrong. Because the vast majority of businesses he's encountered treat their customers like dirt.

He'd been pointing out a problem, but after listening to the security guard's explanation, he felt like he'd had a sudden epiphany. Truly, there are experts among ordinary people; his explanation hit the nail on the head.

But they won't let him in.
Deng Wei suddenly remembered the task his boss had assigned him. He panicked, "Hey—, our company booked food at your hotel; we're your guests. I need to go in and order now!"

Lin Ping saw this from afar and immediately laughed. He hadn't expected the hotel to react so quickly; they were refusing to let him in now.

"Deng Wei, what are you still eating? Are you going to eat shit upside down in a minute? Still not full?"

Hearing Lin Ping's arrogant sneer from behind, Deng Wei's face flushed red. He turned around and said, "Lin Ping, don't be so arrogant. I'm definitely going to complain about this security guard and that guy from earlier. Hmph, Junxiao Group has always been customer-centric, emphasizing wholeheartedly serving every customer. Their behavior is completely inconsistent with Junxiao Group's values, and I will definitely file a complaint!"

Deng Wei had worked at Junxiao Plaza for a while, so he had some understanding of Junxiao Group's corporate culture.

Lin Ping kept an eye on the direction of Junxiao Lakeside CBD, worried that his sister and brother-in-law Chen Xiao might arrive without him noticing immediately. Meanwhile, he sneered at Deng Wei, thinking, "This idiot doesn't even know who he's messed with." If he weren't afraid of his sister beating him up, Lin Ping would have already confronted Deng Wei as the brother-in-law of the Junxiao Group's boss.

The security guards completely ignored him; they only listen to whoever pays them. That's a sure thing.
Besides, why is this kid bossing me around like that? He looks down on my security guard position. Humph, I spit on him!

I have free healthcare, free education for my children, and after a few years I can even get a house. Looking across the country, who dares to look down on me? This guy in front of me, who is very likely to be listed as an "unwelcome person" by Junxiao Hotel Management Group, still dares to look down on me?
He glanced at Deng Wei with disdain. Some people just don't know how to keep their eyes open when they go out.

Deng Wei was frantic. If he couldn't get in, he wouldn't be able to do what his boss had told him to do. But the security guards were standing there; if he dared to force his way in, he'd be courting death, and the iron fist of Junxiao Group would be smashing into his face right then and there.

buzz-

Deng Wei's phone rang, and he quickly took his cell phone out of his pocket.

Seeing the caller ID, a look of panic crossed his face. He walked to the side to answer: "Hello, boss—"

"Deng Wei, we'll be there soon. Go buy a few bottles of good red wine and let them breathe!"

Deng Wei's face was deathly pale. Sober up? I need to sober up myself; I can't even get in.
Before he could figure out how to explain to his boss, the call had already ended. Deng Wei also heard his boss say to the customer next to him before hanging up, "Second Uncle, I'll have someone buy a few bottles of good red wine. I also brought some white wine, including Moutai!"

Deng Wei knew who his boss's second uncle was—one of the big shots in the High-tech Zone. No wonder his boss had instructed him to buy good wine.

But what good wines doesn't Junxiao Lakeside Hotel have? Deng Wei guessed that the owner was actually stingy, thinking that the wines in the small shops outside were cheaper, and mainly because there was a limit to how good they were.

If you ask for good wine in a private room and the hotel pulls out a drinks menu, there's really nothing you can order. Most families could go bankrupt from drinking in one meal.

He thought for a moment and decided to go buy the wine first. He figured the hotel owner and Boss Chang would come over soon, and he could go in with them. He wasn't sure the hotel security would dare stop him.

As for getting scolded by the boss for not arranging a private room in advance, there's nothing that can be done about it. You'll just have to make an excuse that you'll buy the drinks at a large supermarket, worried that the drinks at small shops might be counterfeit.

Lin Ping saw Deng Wei leave in a hurry and was confused about what had happened. However, he didn't have time to deal with this guy today; he'd find out what he was up to later. "I, Lin the Playboy, have been out of the martial world for many days; my legend has vanished."

I don't bully people, can I fight against organized crime? I believe my sister will support me, right?
After waiting a while longer, thinking that his sister and the others should be arriving soon, Lin Ping kept his gaze fixed on the direction of Junxiao Lakeside CBD.

A few minutes later, another familiar person appeared, someone I had met once that morning.

This person seems to be surnamed Chang. He owns a medium-sized commercial management company and has a strong presence in Jiangzhou, mainly handling the operation of community-based commercial projects.

The person Lin Ping overheard making a quiet phone call at the stairwell today was him. Beside him was a middle-aged man, around 50 years old, dressed simply, but with bright, piercing eyes and a calm demeanor; he was clearly someone who frequently gave orders.

Lin Ping could tell at a glance that they were from within the system.
Mr. Chang also saw Lin Ping, who was from Lifan Commercial Management and had appeared at the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project with him that morning.

He didn't know Lin Ping was Lin Jian's son, assuming he was just an ordinary employee. He whispered something to the person next to him, and Lin Ping noticed the man beside President Chang glance at him. Then, without a second thought, it was as if Lin Ping were nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

"Hmph, what's so great about you! No matter how strong you are, you still can't compete with us in Jiangzhou!" Although Lin Ping didn't take the other party seriously, he guessed their identity and didn't dare to be as presumptuous as he had been with Deng Wei. He turned his gaze elsewhere, no longer looking at them.

As Mr. Chang and his companion entered the hotel, they passed by Lin Ping. They paused briefly beside him, then took two steps closer and stood beside him: "Young man, you wouldn't be meeting with Mr. Wu Hao today, would you?"

Lin Ping glanced at him. "Do I even know you? Besides, who I invite to dinner is none of your business."
However, he soon realized that Wu Hao was trying to trick him into revealing information because he was young, to see if he was using Wu Hao's connections.

"Hmph, you think you can get a project like this in Jiangzhou without having to treat everyone to a meal?" Lin Ping shook his head calmly: "No!"

President Chang laughed and said, "I agree. Wu Hao is quite arrogant; he can't usually get people to come out."

呵-
Lin Ping sneered. Couldn't get him to come out? At noon, Wu Hao acted like a sycophant. If they gave him a chance to come over, he would have run faster than a rabbit!
Hearing Lin Ping's sneer, Boss Chang chuckled: "Young man, it seems you're still not convinced. Let me tell you, in Jiangzhou, even a dragon has to coil up." After saying that, he glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and added, "Let me introduce you." He spoke with extreme arrogance, as if introducing this person to Lin Ping was a blessing Lin Ping had accumulated over eight lifetimes.

"No need to introduce me, hurry up and go in," the middle-aged man interrupted President Chang.

"Oh, Second Uncle, good!" President Chang realized his Second Uncle's identity and the need to deliberately keep a low profile.

He then smiled at Lin Ping and said, "You guys can't get Wu Hao to come, but I can get him here with just one phone call. By the way, tell your boss you can come to my private room for a toast later! We may be competitors, but who knows, we might have opportunities to collaborate in the future. Haha—"

Having said that, he strode away, as if the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project was already in his grasp. Little did he know, Wu Hao had already climbed the social ladder and no longer cared about his relationship with President Chang.

Lin Ping watched his retreating figure, a cold smile on his face. Laugh now, but you won't be laughing anymore in a few days!

"Boss, boss—", a familiar voice made Lin Ping turn around again. He saw Deng Wei carrying a bag and running towards General Manager Chang.

Huh? Great, I don't need to check his information myself anymore. It turns out this guy works for someone surnamed Chang.

What was he thinking? Resigning from Junxiao Business Management to go to such a small project? No wonder I thought this person was out of their mind; making such a choice is absolutely one in a million.

Deng Wei ran incredibly fast—

He was terrified that if President Chang and his group entered the hotel, he would be turned away again, which would be the end of him!
Now, following President Chang, especially the man beside him—he knew that was President Chang's second uncle, the third elder of the High-tech Zone—he wanted to see who would dare to stop him.

When President Chang heard Deng Wei's shout, he stopped, frowned, and looked at him. When Deng Wei came up to him, he asked, "Why haven't you gone in yet?"

Deng Wei had already prepared an excuse: "Boss, I was afraid of buying fake alcohol, so I went a long way to find a familiar tobacco and liquor store to buy it from."

He originally wanted to suggest going to a large supermarket, but that was too far-fetched; it would be strange if President Chang believed him, given how far away it was.

Upon hearing this, General Manager Chang nodded: "You're very thoughtful. It's alright if we drink fake alcohol, since Second Uncle is here today too."

His second uncle was clearly getting impatient. There were people coming and going at the hotel entrance, and it wouldn't be good if he ran into someone he knew!
"Go inside—"

"Okay, Second Uncle, let's go to the private room first!"

As soon as the group reached the revolving door, the security guard stepped forward and stopped them again.

Mr. Chang was a little puzzled. What was going on?
"Excuse me, sir, you cannot enter—" The security guard spoke politely, but his attitude was firm.

Mr. Chang was a little confused, and even the boss next to him frowned. He didn't like crowds to begin with, and being blocked like this would immediately attract a crowd.

"What do you mean? We ordered food inside, why can't we go in?" Mr. Chang knew his uncle's identity; staying here too long would attract unwanted attention. His face showed displeasure as he stepped forward to question him.

The security guard pointed at Deng Wei: "I meant this person can't come in. You two can go ahead without me!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Boss Chang pointed at Deng Wei and asked the security guard, "What's wrong with him? He's a normal person, not a rabid dog patient! Nor is he mentally ill!"

The security guard remained polite: "Sir, he is an 'unwelcome guest' in our hotel."

What the heck? This kind of thing probably only happens in TV dramas. Do hotels actually do this in real life?
"What are you doing? Are you discriminating against me? Is your manager here? I'm going to confront him!"

Deng Wei's face turned bright red, almost liver-colored. Damn it, he'd just exposed the whole thing.

The security guard replied, "It's no use talking to our hotel's general manager. This is a notice from Junxiao Hotel Group. This Mr. Deng is an 'unwelcome guest' for all projects under our Junxiao Hotel Management Group!"

hiss--

Mr. Chang gasped in shock. If only one store had done this, he might have dared to confront them.

But Junxiao Hotel Management Group can make such a decision; that's the will of headquarters. Should he argue with them? Would he dare to?

Turning to Deng Wei, he asked, "What heinous thing have you done?"

After stammering for a while, Deng Wei realized he had no choice but to explain, so he pointed to Lin Ping and said, "I had a little argument with him, then a very beautiful woman came, gave me some instructions, and then..."

"A very beautiful woman?" Boss Chang's expression tightened, and the usually composed man blurted out, "Could her surname be Gao?"

Mr. Chang turned to look at his second uncle and found that his usually self-important second uncle actually looked a little panicked.

"Second Uncle, is that person surnamed Gao?"

Mr. Chang looked around and whispered, "The chairman of Junxiao Hotel Management Group."

what--

Mr. Chang was so frightened that he took a step back. How did he manage to offend that lady? She was an absolute super-powerful figure!
Don't be fooled by your own arrogance and the fact that you're doing so well in Jiangzhou, at least in the High-tech Zone, thanks to your second uncle's influence. In front of that person, you and even your second uncle are nothing but ants!

Upon hearing General Manager Gao's identity, Deng Wei broke out in a cold sweat, but at the same time felt a sense of relief. "No, that person's surname isn't Gao, it's Han—"

Surname Han? Boss Chang thought for a moment. Last time, when he accompanied the big boss from Jiangzhou to Junxiao Hotel Management Group for research, although he was at the back of the group and paid close attention to the senior management of Junxiao Group, he did not encounter a high-ranking leader with the surname Han.

"He must be someone in the middle or upper management," Boss Chang thought. "Let's go in first. Later, I'll find an opportunity to talk to a senior hotel executive and have this restriction lifted!"

Helpless, President Chang could only say to Deng Wei, "You good-for-nothing, get out of here. I don't need your services tonight. Go to [Sa Mo] in Junxiao Plaza. They recently got a limited edition dress. Go buy it and I'll give it to my cousin!"

Boss Chang pretended not to hear and strode forward. (End of Chapter)
