He hung up the phone.

Sun Jiye's face turned deathly pale.

His mind went completely blank.

Tao Lilan obviously hadn't grasped what had just happened.

She stood up, walked over to Sun Jiye, and asked, "President Sun, what did President Zhang say?"

Sun Jiye couldn't hear Tao Lilan at all.

Trembling, he walked up to Chen Fang, forced a smile, and said, "Secretary-General Chen, about the Double Happiness Hall, you can continue to use it, and... and all expenses incurred will be covered by our hotel. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

"President Sun, how can this be? I've already promised the Double Happiness Hall to Young Master Hou."

Tao Lilan immediately stood up in opposition.

With a slap.

Sun Jiye couldn't hold it in any longer.

He slapped Tao Lilan across the face.

He shouted angrily, "Look at what you've done, as of now, you're fired!"

"Why, President Sun? I was only trying to do what was best for our hotel."

Tao Lilan's sense of injustice was acute.

She was on the verge of tears.

"President Sun, what do you mean by this? Just because we lost a few clients, you're going to slap my face? Aren't you afraid of losing me as a client?"

Hou Zhan asked coldly.

Although Sun Jiye was aware of Hou Zhan's status,

when compared to that call from the board, he knew well what was more important.

He said, "Young Master Hou, I truly apologize, but the Double Happiness Hall must be reserved for Secretary-General Chen. For any inconvenience caused, I will visit personally on another day to apologize."

"Have you decided?"

Hou Zhan was clearly becoming angry.

He asked Sun Jiye.

Sun Jiye was just about to speak.

Chen Fang slapped the arm of the sofa, stood up, and said, "President Sun, don't trouble yourself. As I said from the beginning, even if you now allow me to use the Double Happiness Hall, I have no intention of using it. Since Young Master Hou wants it, let him have it."

After saying this,

he looked toward Hou Zhan.

He said, "Young Master Hou, remember what I'm telling you: it's only when I, Chen Fang, decide I don't want it that it can become available to you. What's mine, you can't take. Your cousin doesn't have that power, your aunt doesn't have that power, and certainly neither do you."

After dropping these words,

Chen Fang turned and left.

Seeing Chen Fang about to leave,

Sun Jiye panicked.

He raced over to Chen Fang in three quick steps, grabbed his hand, and pleaded, "Secretary-General Chen, I beg you to forgive my foolishness just now. Please use the Double Happiness Hall as planned. We will still compensate you as we should. Please, you must hold your wedding at our hotel. Besides, the wedding is in two days, and it would be difficult to book another venue now."

"Is that so? President Sun, do you see that car parked outside?"

Following the direction of Chen Fang's finger,

indeed, there was a van parked at the entrance of the hotel.

On the side of the vehicle, a few words read: "Wulan Hotel."

The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes beside it was waiting patiently, and when he saw someone looking his way, he even waved at them.

Sun Jiye was stunned.

Wasn't that the president of Wulan Hotel?

"President Sun, when it comes to doing business, you're no match for other hotels. I heard you turned me down, and at least five or six hotels have reached out to me. You've missed out on a great opportunity to promote your hotel," Chen Fang said.

After saying this,

he patted Sun Jiye on the shoulder,

turned his head, and got into the Wulan Hotel's van.

Sun Jiye was dumbfounded.

Zhang Liu's words were still echoing in his ears.

He muttered to himself, "It's over, it's truly over now..."

One must understand,

he had managed to become the general manager of Wulan Shiyi Intercontinental Hotel with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands. If he lost this job, he might never find one as good again.

For him, wouldn't that be worse than a complete disaster?

No, he had to clutch at straws.

With this thought,

Sun Jiye adjusted his expression and returned to the angry Hou Zhan, saying, "Mr. Hou, the Shuangxi hall..."

But he didn't finish his sentence.

Hou Zhan chuckled coldly and said, "President Sun, oh President Sun, you're really something, aren't you? Do you think I, Hou Zhan, have no shame? Do you think there's any chance I will patronize your hotel again in the future? And let me tell you, President Sun, I, Hou Zhan, am someone who holds grudges."

After saying that,

Hou Zhan patted his own face.

Then he turned and left.

It was over.

Due to the lack of a firm stance,

they had now lost another big customer.

Wasn't this adding insult to injury?

Like his soul had been extracted, Sun Jiye stood frozen in place, his miserable expression almost about to bring him to tears.

"President Sun, I... Could you give me another chance?"

Tao Lilan inappropriately asked.

"Get lost, get out of here immediately! I never want to see you again."

Sun Jiye's mood was already at rock bottom.

For Tao Lilan to cause trouble at this time was simply outrageous.

Tao Lilan stomped her foot and said, "Fine, I don't believe it, without World Industry Hotel I can't live."

She wiped away her tears.

And hurriedly chased after Hou Zhan.

"Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou..."

In front of Hou Zhan's car,

Tao Lilan caught up.

She coyly said, "Mr. Hou, about today's incident, I'm really sorry. I had already reserved the Shuangxi hall for you, it was Sun Jiye, that fool, who completely lacked any discernment, that caused Mr. Hou to become so angry. I... I apologize to you."

Hou Zhan got into his car.

With cold eyes, he glanced at Tao Lilan.

And said, "Get in the car."

"Ah?"

Tao Lilan was taken aback.

Then she felt overjoyed.

She said, "Okay okay okay, I'll get in, I'll get in."

In her opinion, her decision was right; if she served a customer like Hou Zhan well, he would definitely arrange another job for her, and then it would be her chance to soar high.

She got into Hou Zhan's business vehicle.

Hou Zhan patted the driver's shoulder and said, "Drive."

The driver nodded in understanding.

One after another, two cars left from the hotel's entrance.

"Mr. Hou, where are we going?"

Ten minutes after the car had driven off, Tao Lilan asked.

Sun Jiye replied expressionlessly, "You'll know when we get there."

"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Hou," replied Tao Lilan, trying to appear obedient.

Soon,

the car stopped at an abandoned construction site.

It was very desolate around them, not a soul in sight.

After the driver parked, he immediately got out of the car and ran off.

Tao Lilan looked back to see the other car parked far away at the junction, keeping a distance from their business vehicle.

Confused, she asked, "Mr. Hou, are we waiting for someone here?"

Hou Zhan's gaze once again swept over her.

In that moment, Tao Lilan realized something was amiss.

"Let's start," said Hou Zhan lightly.

Tao Lilan was taken aback and asked, "Start what?"

"What's with the act? Take off your clothes, or do you really need me to do it for you?" Hou Zhan asked irritably.
