The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 197 Rolling Again

"Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment."

Just as Xue Yong was about to step forward, he was stopped by the heavily armed security guard. Looking at the large figure in front of him and the guard's wary eyes, he shouted at Zhao Xiaochui:
"Mr. Zhao, we sincerely invite Easy Slow Travel to join the Ugly Donkey platform."

"We can offer the most favorable cooperation terms: zero commission, exclusive traffic entry, homepage recommendation, and even a customized marketing plan to help you build Easy Slow Travel into a star brand in Beijing and even nationwide! This is definitely a win-win situation."

Zhao Xiaochui stopped, turned around, patted the well-dressed security guard, and stood in front of Xue Yong again.

For some reason, he always felt impatient when facing these clueless people.

If you have something to say, just say it. Stop beating around the bush. Do you have a nice voice, or are you a great beauty?
It's like everyone's happy to talk to you.

At this moment, Qian Tu, the legal counsel, and Zhou Yaqin, the street urchin, who had received the message, also came out of the door and came to Zhao Xiaochui's side.

Zhao Xiaochui looked at the two of them, somewhat puzzled, wondering why they wanted to join in this fun.

"Mr. Xue, I'm very busy with work. Please just tell me what you need."

Xue Yong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He knew that Zhao Xiaochui didn't care about the discount offered by the ugly donkey.

"Mr. Zhao, platformization is the trend. It can broaden your brand influence and allow more consumers to enjoy your high-quality services..."

Seeing the impatience flash across Zhao Xiaochui's face, he quickly steered the conversation back on track:

"Furthermore, there may be some... misunderstandings between us. For example, I apologize on behalf of Ugly Donkey for some inappropriate behavior by our BD team some time ago. As for Yan Xiao's matter, it was indeed due to our lax management that we caused you trouble."

Zhao Xiaochui scratched his head and asked Zhou Yaqin:
What does BD mean?

The old woman on the street glared at Xue Yong and said irritably, "You're a door-to-door salesman."

Xue Yong: "..."

Qian Tu, the legal counsel, suppressed a laugh and explained, "The official name is business development."

"Oh," Zhao Xiaochui nodded, looking at Xue Yong with some curiosity, "You've come to apologize?"

Xue Yong's heart skipped a beat. He had thought that having two "sensible" people would improve the communication situation, but he didn't expect that these two would completely follow the young boy's lead.

Why is he so clueless?
“Mr. Zhao, my employee is young and inexperienced, and acts rashly. I have already severely criticized him and suspended him from his duties. Mr. Zhao, could you... show some leniency? After all, he was just doing his job and acted impulsively.”

A moment of confusion?
Zhao Xiaochui was a little confused by what was being said, and he looked at the legal department:
"Brother Qian, how old is that Yan Xiao again?"

Qian Tu reported the case himself, so he replied without hesitation:
"31."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded: "President Xue, I'm nineteen."

"I've only been out in the workforce for less than half a year, so I don't know all the intricacies of life."

"Before I left, my teachers and elders told me that when navigating society, the law is the bottom line."

"I won't say anything about acting in good conscience, but I just want to ask, if someone crosses the legal line, the law will punish them. What does it have to do with whether I show leniency or not?"

What a passionate young man!
Xue Yong sighed inwardly: "Boss Zhao, we can also find a way to deal with Yan Xiao's matter. We are willing to make amends for Easy Slow Travel. In addition to the cooperation terms we just mentioned, we can also provide a sum of... compensation."

Zhao Xiaochui finally understood what he meant. At this moment, he also realized just how terrifying a social resource the fat receptionist had left him was.

In his past life, when he was running around like an ugly donkey to make ends meet, the person in front of him was someone he could only dream of.

But now, he's so humble, all so that he can finally speak to the officer in charge and say he's willing to reconcile.

But he solved the problem as soon as he opened his mouth. What's the point of the law?
Zhao Xiaochui shook his head with a sigh, ignored Xue Yong, and turned away again.

"Boss Zhao!"

If Xue Yong still doesn't understand what he's facing at this point, he wouldn't deserve to be called an elite.

He took off his suit jacket, his smiling face gone, reverting to his commanding director demeanor: "Everyone has their youthful arrogance, but one must have the ability to assess situations." He stared coldly at Zhao Xiaochui, and when he stopped, he looked at the legal counsel and the street urchin: "You two should know that with Ugly Donkey's hundreds of billions in assets, my intervention is already a great favor to this young man."

"Heh~" The street urchin sneered, casually sidling up to Xue Yong. "What's wrong? Threatening people when you can't reach an agreement? What era are we living in..."

Xue Yong carefully sized up the street urchin and chuckled, "This old lady must have been quite something when she was young, how could she ask such a childish question?"

"Grandma, what does the disorderly expansion of capital have to do with the times?"

"I'm just a lowly P7 at Ugly Donkey, I can't do anything to your store. Above me are the vice president, the president, and..."

Zhou Yaqin sneered: "What, since when has your company's boss's name become a taboo subject?"

"Sure enough, everyone's vying to be a good lackey for money!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yong's expression changed drastically: "You..."

"You son of a bitch!"

The street thug spat at Xue Yong, yelling, "So what if I curse you? You son of a bitch, you dare threaten us? P7? I'll spit on you!"

"Don't call him vice president anymore, just call that son who's born without an anus and is destined to be childless and without descendants, and bring him on stage!"

"You still don't dare say your name? Bah!"

"Isn't that damn guy named Leng Xiao? Did his mother give birth to him from a bird's nest?"

"No wonder they're so heartless, they're not from a humane family!"

"..."

At this moment, Xue Yong felt immense regret. He shouldn't have come out without anyone to show his sincerity.

He would have dared to confront the security guard if he had even one more subordinate to deal with him.

Now, Xue Yong, in his anger, only vented his anger briefly.

Zhao Xiaochui and Qian Tu stared blankly at Zhou Yaqin for a while before they came to their senses.

“Mr. Xue, I just don’t understand,” Zhao Xiaochui pulled Zhou Yaqin behind him to prevent her from escalating the situation, and then asked Xue Yong, “Easy Slow Travel is just a small massage parlor. We haven’t offended anyone. We just want to help everyone make a little money. Your company is so big and powerful, why won’t you let us go?”

"Why else?"

Before Xue Yong could speak, Zhou Yaqin behind him said with a cold laugh:

"In 2019, Ugly Donkey's revenue exceeded 100 billion yuan, and it achieved a profit of more than 3 billion yuan for the first time."

"The key to profitability lies in the unparalleled traffic from food delivery and other services that we gained after winning the cash-burning war, which completely covered all local life services. This is how profits were generated."

"Note that its goal is to cover all local life services and become the sole entry point for consumers."

Shops like "Easy Stroll," which are incredibly popular despite not being officially listed on Meituan's platform, represent a "loophole" in its ecosystem. This means that traffic and transactions are occurring outside of Meituan, which is something they cannot tolerate.

After Zhou Yaqin finished explaining, Qian Tu, the legal counsel, sighed and stepped forward: "Little Hammer, in modern society, it's not that you can be worry-free just by not bothering or offending anyone. That's why we are fortunate to work at Relaxed and Slow.

Qian Tu picked up his phone and brought up the Ugly Donkey review page: "Mr. Xue, your so-called apology is to ignore the notification from Easy Slow Travel, continue to pretend that it has joined your platform, and then ignore the facts, allowing online trolls to flood the platform with negative reviews, fabricate consumer reviews, and even slander Easy Slow Travel as having pornographic services?"

Xue Yong: "..."

Zhao Xiaochui peeked at his phone and was immediately filled with rage.

"roll!"
