"President Sun, do you also think this way?"

Chen Fang asked Sun Jiye.

Although Sun Jiye's attitude had always been quite flattering,

ever since Hou Zhan appeared, he had also become indifferent.

It looked like he didn't want to appear too close to Chen Fang in front of Hou Zhan.

He said, "Secretary-General Chen, of course, I, Sun Jiye, should give you face, but as you see, Master Hou is not only a major customer of our Wulan City Shiye Intercontinental Hotel but also of our national stores. We definitely cannot afford to offend him. For this matter, I can only, on behalf of the group, express our apologies to you."

Having said these words,

Hou Zhan's expression grew even more self-satisfied.

His arrogant expression seemed to be telling Chen Fang, "How about that? You're no match for me."

"Is this your final decision?"

Chen Fang asked.

Tao Lilan snorted coldly and said, "Secretary-General Chen, you are the Secretary General of the Wulan City government. If you want to use your power to pressure us, we, who are in business, have no choice, but we reserve the right to lodge a complaint. This is our hotel's stance. Even if the corporate executives came today, we still believe that our actions are correct."

Sun Jiye deliberately turned his head away.

Pretending he hadn't heard a thing.

This also indirectly proved that what Tao Lilan said was indeed his final stance.

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "Fine, since that's the case, I see no need to give face to your esteemed hotel anymore."

Having finished speaking,

Right in front of several people, Chen Fang took out his mobile phone and directly dialed a number.

Once the call connected,

Chen Fang said, "Proceed as discussed before."

The call was promptly ended.

Chen Fang sat down on the sofa in the lobby, arms crossed.

He said, "Master Hou, President Sun, Manager Tao, if you aren't busy, please sit with me for a while. As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another. Since I, Chen Fang, have been slighted, I must naturally find some compensation, right? Otherwise, everyone will think that Chen Fang is easy to bully, won't they?"

Hou Zhan, hearing this,

laughed heartily.

He said, "It seems Secretary-General Chen is someone who cares about face. Fine, then I'm actually quite curious to see how Secretary-General Chen retrieves his dignity. President Sun, Manager Tao, let's keep him company."

After Hou Zhan spoke,

he boldly sat down across from Chen Fang.

This was to tell Sun Jiye and Tao Lilan that as long as he was here, it wouldn't be easy for Chen Fang to regain his lost face.

With these words,

Sun Jiye and Tao Lilan exchanged glances.

Tao Lilan sat down next to Hou Zhan enthusiastically, saying, "Master Hou, I'll sit with you for a while."

This statement was meant to tell Chen Fang

that her reason for staying was solely because of Hou Zhan's face and had nothing to do with Chen Fang.

"President Sun, your hotel doesn't engage in any illegal or irregular activities, right? Otherwise, when Secretary-General Chen's people arrive later, don't end up unable to leave the stage,"

Hou Zhan's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Chen Fang's so-called retrieval of face was nothing more than administrative manipulations; beyond that, he had no other options.

Sun Jiye laughed and said, "Master Hou, rest assured, Shiye Hotel is a national chain and will definitely withstand inspection. I'm just afraid that if no issues are found, Secretary-General Chen will have no place to put his face."

"Hahaha…"

Hou Zhan burst out laughing again.

No sooner had he finished speaking,

several phones at the front desk rang almost simultaneously.

Just about two minutes later,

a frantic receptionist ran to the sofa area, looking as if he had something urgent to say but hesitated to speak.

"What happened?"

Sun Jiye asked.

The waiter still looked embarrassed.

Sun Jiye said, "Just speak, Master Hou is here, what are you afraid of?"

The waiter had no choice.

He said, "President Sun, Boiling Point Group just called. They're cancelling all business partnerships with our hotel starting now."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jiye abruptly stood up.

The waiter nodded again and said, "I've confirmed it. It's indeed Boiling Point Group's decision, and they've just posted an announcement on social media."

This news struck like a bolt from the blue.

Everyone in Wulan City knew about Boiling Point Group's status.

The annual cooperation with Boiling Point Group was also a significant source of income. Losing it would be a severe loss for Shiye Hotel.

"President Sun, President Sun, something terrible has happened."

At this moment.

Another waiter came running over.

"What now?"

Sun Jiye asked.

The waiter swallowed hard and said, "The Wulan City Real Estate Association has cancelled all business collaborations with our hotel, the call just came in."

"The Real Estate Association? How is that possible?"

Sun Jiye was stunned again.

You should know, the real estate association was also a major contributor to their hotel's profits.

It had been less than a minute, and two major clients had cancelled their cooperations.

Sun Jiye shuddered.

He turned to look at Chen Fang.

Could this all be Chen Fang's doing?

Impossible!

How could he have such great influence?

Even if the city's Party Secretary personally intervened, it might not have such an immediate effect.

"President Sun, President Sun..."

At this moment.

A person dressed as a manager came running over, holding a phone.

"President Sun, it's a call from the board of directors."

"The board of directors?"

Sun Jiye became tense.

He took the mobile phone, glanced at the number, and immediately spoke obsequiously, "President Zhang, hello, this is Sun Jiye."

"Sun Jiye, what have you done? Are you out of your mind? Do you realize the trouble you've caused? More than a dozen major companies in Yong'an Province have cancelled their partnerships with our hotel, and at least as many in East River Province. Even our spokesperson, Ms. Qi Kexin, is terminating her brand partnership with us. When I asked them for the reason, they all said it's because the Wulan City hotel lacks contractual integrity and they no longer trust our brand. Now tell me, what exactly happened in Wulan City?"

The one speaking was Zhang Liu, the Vice Chairman of Shiye Group.

Sun Jiye looked over in fear at Chen Fang, who sat on the sofa looking perfectly content.

He roughly understood what was going on.

Tremblingly, he said, "President Zhang, there must be some misunderstanding. Rest assured, I will resolve this issue immediately... immediately."

"Misunderstanding, do you know how much loss this has caused our group? Sun Jiye, I'm warning you, if you can't handle this, don't bother being the general manager anymore. The legal department will be in touch with you, and you will have to pay back every cent of the losses,"

Zhang Liu shouted.

Sun Jiye's heart jumped to his throat.

He nervously said, "Yes, yes, President Zhang, I will resolve it, I am on it right now."
