Chapter 1757: Thanks Sister Lin

“My business is urgent!” Little Zhang said, “General Manager Liu, are you delivering food to Brother Yang? Can I go in with you?”

Little Zhang asked Manager Liu when he saw him pushing the dining cart.

“This… okay!” Manager Liu thought, There is no need to blame Little Zhang because of this. I might as well just let him in. Anyway, if Brother Yang asks, I’ll say he wanted to come in, and that it has nothing to do with me!

I am the lobby manager, so I can’t control the security guard captain. Both sides are basically equal. Little Zhang insists on coming in, could I stop him? Besides, if a fight starts, I’m not the opponent of a security guard captain!

Manager Liu knocked on the door, and Bao Sanli’s voice came from inside, “Come in!”

Manager Liu carefully opened the door and pushed in the dining cart. Captain Little Zhang followed behind.

“Brother Yang, President Bao, President Hou, the wine and dishes are ready. Where should I put them?” Manager Liu was a smart person. Ever since he knew Yang Ming’s actual identity, he addressed Yang Ming first. Also, he noticed that Yang Ming didn’t like people calling him Chairman Yang or the like, so he called him Brother Yang just like Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.

“You don’t need to do it. We can place it on our own,” Bao Sanli nodded and said to Manager Liu. Looking up, he saw Captain Little Zhang, so he asked, “Little Zhang, why are you here? Is there anything?”

“President Bao, I was looking for Brother Yang to report something!” Little Zhang hesitated and said.

“Oh? You are looking for Brother Yang to report something?” Bao Sanli listened to Little Zhang and was stunned for a moment, “What do you want to report?”

“I…” Little Zhang was a little embarrassed when asked by Bao Sanli, so he stood there blushing.

“Okay, Little Zhang, what’s the matter? Just tell me.” Yang Ming saw that Bao Sanli’s unintentional words had put Little Zhang in a difficult position, so he waved his hand to salvage it.

“Yes!” Little Zhang was relieved when he heard Yang Ming’s words. It felt like he had just received amnesty. “Brother Yang, it’s like this. Since that day you came, I have always sent someone to monitor Chen Zhiye’s movements!”

“Oh? You’re attentive!” Yang Ming was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn’t expect that Little Zhang was also a thoughtful person. He probably noticed that Yang Ming and Chen Zhiye were in conflict, so he paid attention to Chen Zhiye’s movements and reported them to Yang Ming.

Of course, Yang Ming naturally knew that Little Zhang wanted to take credit for this achievement, but Yang Ming didn’t care about it. A boss was not afraid of his men wanting to come and take credit for their achievements. What a boss mostly feared was that they wouldn’t do anything for the whole day.

After hearing Yang Ming’s compliment, Little Zhang immediately smiled and said, “I happen to have this convenient ability. Naturally, I have to help with Brother Yang’s worries.”

“Tell me, what is up with Chen Zhiye?” Yang Ming nodded and asked.

“Chen Zhiye picked up a foreigner today and got a room for the foreigner in our hotel,” said Little Zhang.

“Foreigner?” Yang Ming frowned. Why is Chen Zhiye looking for a foreigner? Is it a coincidence or does this guy have any bad intentions? When Yang Ming left Chen Zhiye’s room previously, he saw the unwillingness and hatred in Chen Zhiye’s eyes. Chen Zhiye most probably wouldn’t give up so easily.

“Yes, and after they came to the hotel, they started to comment on the hotel’s decoration and other facilities. I don’t know what they want to do!” said Little Zhang. “I think this situation is a little suspicious, so I quickly reported it to you.”

“En, you did a good job!” Yang Ming praised Little Zhang, even though he still couldn’t figure out what tricks Chen Zhiye was trying to play.

“This is what I should do!” Little Zhang said with a smile. “Brother Yang, President Bao, President Hou, I’ll leave first. If there is something else, I can come back and report anytime, right?”

“Don’t you have my phone number? If there is any new news, just call me,” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, Brother Yang, I got it.” Little Zhang naturally had Yang Ming’s phone number, but he didn’t dare to randomly call without Yang Ming’s permission. Now that he had Yang Ming’s permission, Little Zhang gladly accepted it.

After Little Zhang and Manager Liu left, Bao Sanli asked with some confusion, “Brother Yang, does that guy surnamed Chen hate you?”

“Hate? It’s not really that. It’s just that this guy is just bothering me,” Yang Ming shook his head and said plainly.

“Should I take someone to warn him?” Bao Sanli heard that this guy dared to bother Yang Ming and was immediately annoyed.

“That’s not necessary!” Yang Ming waved his hand and refused, “He knows Uncle Chen, it’s not appropriate to use those means. However, I don’t think this guy can cause any trouble. Since Little Zhang is monitoring him, it’s fine. He’s just a rascal. Leave him alone!”

“Alright, I’ll let him go for now! However, if this kid dares to cause trouble, I will mess with him!” Bao Sanli said fiercely.

Hou Zhenhan spread the dishes, poured wine for Yang Ming and Bao Sanli, and then sat aside, “Brother Yang, I raise a glass for you!”

Yang Ming, Bao Sanli, and Hou Zhenhan only had a few chances to drink together. It had been a while since Yang Ming could drink so happily. When he met with Sun Kun previously, Sun Kun naturally couldn’t drink since he had to drive in the afternoon. Yang Ming had not gone drinking with friends in a long time.

“Brother Yang, you and I have known each other longer than Houzi. Let’s drink first!” Bao Sanli also raised his glass and blocked Hou Zhenhan. He took the lead first.

Hou Zhenhan couldn’t help smiling. He was not angry, but smiled with a bit of contempt, “You can’t count it like that. We must go by who has been following Brother Yang for a longer time!”

“Nonsense! I thought Brother Yang was an important character at the detention center, so I started following Brother Yang back then!” chattered Bao Sanli.

“…” Hou Zhenhan looked at the childish Bao Sanli, and he was a little speechless.

“Alright, don’t fight! You two!” Yang Ming lifted his glass a little helplessly, “Let’s toast together!”

“Okay!” Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan had nothing to say this time. They raised their glasses and drank the wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, Bao Sanli began to talk more, “Brother Yang, you are an agent. So why did you enter the detention center?”

“Agents also have to go to jail for breaking the law!” Yang Ming suddenly didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh after hearing Bao Sanli’s words, “I already did that to Zhiyun, so I naturally must go in!”

“Ha, Sister-in-law Zhiyun is really affectionate and righteous. She wanted to sue Brother Yang, but became Brother Yang’s girlfriend instead!” Bao Sanli laughed when he heard Yang Ming mentioning Lin Zhiyun.

“Don’t talk nonsense. She and I actually knew each other before. She just didn’t know it was me at that time.” Yang Ming waved his hand, “Okay, this matter is over. Don’t mention it again in the future. Time is like a shuttle. More than a year passed by in the blink of an eye!”

Listening to Yang Ming’s sigh, Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan couldn’t help but be moved. But Hou Zhenhan appeared a little off. He raised his glass and said to Bao Sanli, “Baozi, we know Brother Yang because of Sister-in-law Zhiyun. It seems that Sister-in-law Zhiyun is a matchmaker for us and Brother Yang!”

When Hou Zhenhan said this, he could not help but blush a little, “I didn’t expect that I would actually try to rob Sister-in-law Zhiyun back them. I feel ashamed when I think about it!”

“Haha, Houzi, what you said is true. It seems that we really have to thank Sister-in-law Zhiyun for what we have today!” Bao Sanli nodded and agreed.

“Stop saying thank you. After I’m gone, it’s good enough that you can take care of them and don’t let people bully them,” Yang Ming sighed and said.

“Brother Yang, what do you mean!” Bao Sanli was immediately anxious, “Brother Yang, you can rest assured that your family’s matters are mine and Houzi’s business. If he dares to complain, I’ll be the first to kill him! Don’t just think that he’s special because he used to be part of the special forces. I’ll still split his head open with a shot!”

“Bao Sanli, what nonsense are you saying?” Hou Zhenhan glared at Bao Sanli and said, “Why do you mean that I’ll complain? I just want to say that if you dare to forget Brother Yang’s commands, I’ll be the first one to deal with you!”

“You two. Why do you fight like children every day?” In the face of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan’s action, Yang Ming was a little speechless.

“Hehe…” Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan stopped the quarrel a bit awkwardly and laughed at each other. They then looked at Yang Ming pleasingly.

Chapter 1758: Let Them Be

Yang Ming told Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli about his enmity with Elder You and Chen Afu. This was not a secret. This case was a sensation in Song Jiang, but both Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were outsiders. Similar to the rest of the public, when they heard rumors of a haunted hospital, they felt scared and didn’t know the truth.

Later, they heard that the person who pretended to be the ghost was caught. They didn’t know how he was caught, but they didn’t expect Yang Ming to be involved in the whole thing. The two couldn’t help but wonder after listening to Yang Ming’s explanation!

“Brother Yang, so your enmity with Elder You have been going on for a long time. This time, they are targeting him, so you have to go!” Bao Sanli heard about Yang Ming and Elder You’s enmity, so he understood why Yang Ming had to go on the mission this time despite knowing that it was dangerous.

“It’s good that you understand,” Yang Ming nodded. “This matter has to be settled sooner or later. It’s the same whether it’s sooner or later. Once the Elder You’s sinister art is completed, he will definitely come to seek revenge on me. So although I am not sure at this time, at least I’m going on behalf of the government. It is more convenient this time as I have people accompanying me. It is better than going on this mission alone!”

“Brother Yang, I won’t say much else, be careful!” Bao Sanli raised his glass and said.

“Be careful!” Hou Zhenhan also said at the same time.

Yang Ming nodded, picked up his glass and accepted their toasts…

…

These days, some huge news was circulating in Song Jiang. A big family had committed to the development of the international hotel industry in Song Jiang. The Douglas Family would invest in a five-star hotel in Song Jiang!

Foreign investment at this level naturally attracted the attention and personal reception of relevant provincial and municipal leaders. All procedures were simplified and all green lights were given to ensure the smooth progress of the investment.

The location of the hotel was actually directly opposite the Song Jiang International Hotel, on the original Five-star Plaza! The Five-Star Plaza was originally a park-like leisure place for citizens. However, as this area became a commercial area, there were few residential areas left. This Five-Star Plaza also lost its original role and was often vacant.

Although it was not strange to build a five-star hotel on the Five-Star Plaza, the key problem was that the Song Jiang International Hotel was directly opposite the Five-Star Plaza. The Douglas Family actually wanted to build the five-star hotel here. It induced other’s doubts about their intentions!

The construction of a second large hotel near this place was originally opposed by some experts, but the Douglas Family’s representative insisted on building the hotel here. They finally had to agree with this request.

After all, they were investors. If the hotel was built elsewhere, it wouldn’t profit.

Once this news broke out, Song Jiang’s entire business scene was in tumult. Most people knew the background of the Song Jiang International Hotel, and they knew who Bao Sanli was. Was it not obvious that the Douglas Family built the hotel here just to target the Song Jiang International Hotel?

However, most people looked at this matter from a bystander’s perspective. They were just looking for a source of amusement! Although Bao Sanli had a strong background in Song Jiang, the Douglas Family were foreign businessmen and giants in the international hotel industry. It could be said that even the leaders in the province were only able to speak politely to them. In this situation, did Bao Sanli dare to touch them?

Of course, more people also noticed that the Douglas Family seemed to be targeting Bao Sanli. They were building a five-star hotel opposite a three-star hotel. If this wasn’t targeting, what was it?

After the hotel was built, could Bao Sanli’s hotel still be in business? As a matter of fact, the people who came to the Song Jiang International Hotel were rich people, and they didn’t lack money. What they wanted was a decent and comfortable environment to stay in.

This time, there were better choices. With a five-star hotel, how many guests would stay at the Song Jiang International Hotel? Local businessmen might be afraid of Bao Sanli’s influence and would go to the Song Jiang International Hotel to take care of Bao Sanli’s business, but most of the residents of these luxury hotels were foreigners. How many of them actually knew Bao Sanli? How would they care about these things?

When everyone learned about this news, Bao Sanli naturally knew about it too! There was no need to investigate this matter at all. Apparently, Chen Zhiye had found this so-called Douglas Family, which were those foreigners who used to stay in their hotel!

However, Bao Sanli also knew the weight of this matter and was afraid to make decisions himself. He quickly called Yang Ming for instructions, “Brother Yang, what should we do about the Douglas Hotel?”

“What Douglas Hotel?” Yang Ming was stunned, then asked inexplicably.

“Brother Yang, you don’t know?” Bao Sanli was also stunned. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to answer like this.

“What should I know? What’s going on? What happened?” Yang Ming immediately realized that something must have happened recently without his knowledge. He couldn’t be blamed. Yang Ming had been with Chen Mengyan and his family recently. He didn’t bother to watch any local news. Naturally, he didn’t know about the Douglas Hotel.

“The foreigner next to Chen Zhiye wants to invest in a big hotel in Song Jiang. Do you know this?” Bao Sanli said in detail.

“I know this. Little Zhang told me,” said Yang Ming. “But what does this have to do with us?”

Back then, Little Zhang called and said that the foreigner next to Chen Zhiye belonged to an influential family. He came to inspect and build a big hotel in Song Jiang. Yang Ming didn’t pay much attention, thinking that the other party was just investing, and was just a friend of Chen Zhiye. He thought it had nothing to do with him.

But from Bao Sanli’s words, it seemed that there were some ulterior motives?

“Brother Yang, the news has come out. The foreigner is going to build a five-star hotel in the Five-Star Plaza. Isn’t this stealing our business?” said Bao Sanli. “The news has already been reported. Didn’t you watch TV?”

“No,” Yang Ming said awkwardly. “I haven’t watched TV recently.”

“Brother Yang, what do you think we should do now?” Bao Sanli said resentfully. “Now things are already clear. Chen Zhiye brought that foreigner to target us!”

“Are they targeting us?” Yang Ming was more open-minded, “Opening a hotel just to target us? Leave him alone first. Let him be.”

“This… Brother Yang, if he is allowed to build a hotel, it will definitely impact our business!” Bao Sanli did not expect Yang Ming to have such a calm reaction. He was immediately anxious.

“Let’s see how it goes first.” Yang Ming smiled and comforted Bao Sanli. “Now, we really can’t take any measures. The other party wants to build a hotel. No one else is against it. Why should we object? Because it will affect our business? We are not a monopoly company. It is unwise to come out at this time.”

“But when they build the hotel, it will be too late!” said Bao Sanli hurriedly.

“It’s not necessary, and the hotel industry is not our main business,” Yang Ming did not bother. “Chen Zhiye has the influence to build a five-star hotel in a second-tier city. Even if this hotel is opened, they will definitely not be able to recover their investment in the short-term. Let them be.”

“Then… okay!” Bao Sanli heard Yang Ming say this. He had no other way other than to listen to Yang Ming and let them be.

At first, Caique was a bit guarded against Bao Sanli. After all, he heard that Bao Sanli was the local tyrant here. Caique had opened the hotel opposite Bao Sanli’s territory. Wasn’t that equal to slapping someone’s face?

However, Caique was not afraid that Bao Sanli would openly deal with him. Caique was a foreign businessman, which was quite advantageous. A phone call could have others supporting him. Caique was just afraid that Bao Sanli would secretly hinder him in a way that he couldn’t anticipate.

However, Bao Sanli had remained silent since the news was released. For a few days, there was no movement. This made Caique completely relieved.
