Just then, Gao Haida and his female companion, along with a group of friends, emerged.
Spotting Wan Hui, Gao Haida initiated the greeting, "Mr. Wan, still working so late?"
Wan Hui nodded with a cold expression, "Mr. Gao, are you satisfied with your dining experience at our hotel?"
"Satisfied, of course, we are satisfied!" Gao Haida nodded.
"However, our hotel is not satisfied with your behavior!"
Wan Hui's words left Gao Haida bewildered, "What do you mean, Mr. Wan? I've never caused trouble at your hotel."
"You haven't caused trouble, but you have offended someone you shouldn't have. Our boss has said that you no longer need to patronize our establishment."
"Hey, clarify what you mean. Who have I offended?
And your hotel is in business, what's the meaning of barring guests?" Gao Haida was enraged on the spot.
"It means exactly what it says. Mr. Gao, please, have a good evening!" Wan Hui said, and then ignored him, walking directly into the hotel.
Humiliated in front of his friends, Gao Haida turned to the security guard in anger, "Did you spread rumors behind my back?"
Just now, Wan Hui had been speaking near this security guard. He then recalled how the guard had verbally abused someone driving a van over a parking issue previously.
But that person seemed to have no money, no status, and no background. It didn't seem like someone who couldn't be offended.
Yet, besides him, he couldn't think of anyone else.
"Mr. Gao, please leave. Our hotel will no longer be open to you!" the security guard said expressionlessly.
Looking at the person who had been obsequious and fawning over him moments before, and was now showing such a face,
Gao Haida's anger intensified, "Fine, I've seen your hotel's true colors.
If you don't want me here, I don't care to come! Do you really think your hotel is that great?
Let's go!"
He waved his hand grandly, and everyone drove away.
Liu Yifeng was unaware that the owner of Longteng Hotel had refused guests for his sake.
All he knew was that he was home as he was about to fall asleep.
"Thank you for bringing me back. Please, come in for something to eat before you leave!" Liu Yifeng invited after getting out of the car.
"No, thank you. I need to rush back to take the boss home!" the driver shook his head.
"Mr. Liu, here are your car keys.
If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now." The staff member returned the car keys to Liu Yifeng.
Then they got into the boss's car and drove off.
"What do you think this Mr. Liu's background is, to have the boss send him home in his car?"
"Who knows? Not only is the car old, but his house is also made of tiles. He doesn't look like a rich man at all.
Perhaps he's a distant relative of the boss!" The driver couldn't think of any other reason.
Entering the living room, Liu Yifeng checked the time. It was already nine-thirty, and Tongtong had fallen asleep.
Liu Chunsheng was still awake; he had been waiting for Yifeng to return to know if the matter had been resolved.
Seeing Yifeng return, he quickly came out of his room.
"Dad, why aren't you asleep this late?" Liu Yifeng asked, then gulped down water.
"Has there been any progress on Kai Chen's matter?" Liu Chunsheng answered his question with another question.
"Dad, why are you so concerned about his affairs? One might think he's your son!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Kai Chen is your third uncle's son, my nephew. Isn't it natural for me to care about him?" Liu Chunsheng said, feigning displeasure.
Liu Yifeng had just said it casually. Seeing that his father didn't like such jokes, he returned to the main topic, "The owner of Longteng Hotel has agreed to meet Kai Chen in person."
"Really? That's great! Kai Chen and Third Uncle can finally have some closure." Liu Chunsheng was in high spirits upon hearing this.
Speaking of Kai Chen, Liu Yifeng suddenly remembered something. He picked up his phone and dialed his number.
The call was connected quickly, almost instantaneously.
It was clear that Liu Kai Chen had been waiting for his call, phone in hand.
"Hello, what's the news?" Liu Kai Chen asked cautiously.
Liu Yifeng replied, "Director Tan of Longteng Hotel said that cooperation matters need to be discussed with you in person, as I don't understand that field.
I'll give you his contact information later, and you can call him tomorrow morning to schedule a time."
After hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Liu Kai Chen didn't react for a moment, stunned for a long time.
"Are you there?" Liu Yifeng asked, puzzled by the long silence.
Liu Kai Chen finally came to his senses, his emotions becoming agitated, "You... you mean, he agreed to cooperate with me?"
"Not exactly, but the fact that he's willing to meet you indicates some interest.
When the time comes, you should talk to him properly and use all the professional knowledge you've learned.
Director Tan is quite reasonable. As long as your product is good, cooperation is almost certain."
With Liu Yifeng's words, Liu Kai Chen felt relieved, "Leave that to me. Our company just developed a new type of cutting machine recently. Its quality and precision have significantly improved, and it has just been launched on the market.
I believe Director Tan will be satisfied."
"That's good. It's getting late, I need to wash up and sleep. I drank quite a bit of baijiu tonight, and my head is still a bit dizzy."
"Yifeng, thank you. I will definitely thank you properly once this is settled," Liu Kai Chen said gratefully.
Liu Yifeng's expression turned serious, "No need for thanks. We are brothers, and I am your cousin. It's only right for me to help you.
However, you need to change your personality in the future. No matter how successful you become outside, you should not look down on your family.
The world is mostly made up of ordinary people; not everyone can achieve greatness."
Liu Kai Chen nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, I understand."
"Then I'll hang up. You should also get some rest," Liu Yifeng said, then hung up the phone.
Liu Chunsheng, who was nearby, heard that Yifeng was dizzy from drinking and immediately said, "Yifeng, you go take a shower first. Dad will boil some hot water for you. Drinking hot tea will make you feel better."
"Dad, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'll sleep after my shower, and I won't be dizzy when I wake up tomorrow. You should go to bed quickly!" Liu Yifeng didn't want to bother his father.
But Liu Chunsheng didn't listen and went straight to the kitchen.
Liu Yifeng felt both helpless and warmhearted. He then went to take a shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw a cup of steaming hot tea on the living room table, and his father's bedroom door was already closed.
He gently opened his father's door and saw that his father was already asleep, so he didn't disturb him.
After finishing the hot tea, he broke out in a sweat, but surprisingly, his head felt much clearer after drinking it.
That night, he slept particularly soundly. He woke up at six-thirty in the morning.
Du Ziheng's truck had already arrived to pick up the vegetables.
Today, he did not accompany the truck to deliver the vegetables. Having known Wan Hui for so long, they had developed mutual trust.
Trust was the most crucial element in business; otherwise, how could they have a long-term cooperation!
After watching the large truck depart, Liu Yifeng went to the field where he raised crayfish.
His third uncle and two other hired villagers were feeding the crayfish.
Seeing Yifeng arrive, Liu Cha Sheng put down his work and walked over proactively.
"Yifeng, why are you here?" After speaking, he took out his cigarettes and offered one to Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng accepted it, "I'm here to see if the crayfish have spawned!"
