As far as Lin Sheng knew, Er Zhu had become the richest man in Linyi City by acquiring the assets of the former richest man, Sun Liang. He hadn't expected Er Zhu to still have businesses in town!
"May I ask which decoration company it is? I don't mean to look down on you, but the projects I have are all very large, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them."
Lin Sheng's eyes darted around, and seeing Er Zhu's face fall slightly, he immediately explained.
"Wang Liangping's decoration company and Brother Chu's company. I just took them over and haven't decided on a name yet."
Er Zhu picked up his chopsticks nonchalantly and took a bite of the dish that had just been served, saying dismissively.
BOOM!
Lin Sheng and his son were struck as if by lightning. They looked at Er Zhu incredulously, their eyes filled with shock and envy!
They knew both of these decoration companies; they were the top two in town!
Especially Wang Liangping's decoration company, that was the Wang family's business!
Even though it was said to be a sideline business of a collateral branch of the Wang family, it was still an existence that ordinary big shots wouldn't dare to offend!
Lin Yaowei, standing beside them, was even more shocked beyond words. The delicious food in front of him now tasted like wax!
Now, he seemed to understand why Wang Xiaomei liked Er Zhu so much!
He dared to meddle with the Wang family's business; this guy was truly extraordinary!
While shocked, a hint of admiration flashed in Lin Yaowei's eyes, though it was only a hint.
Er Zhu mentioned some details about the cooperation, and Lin Sheng basically raised no objections, only nodding with a smile.
"Alright, you handle the contract. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Finally, seeing that they had eaten most of the food, Er Zhu said this and turned to leave the private room.
"Don't worry, I'll personally deliver the contract to you once it's ready."
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Lin Sheng waved with a face full of smiles, his eyes filled with flattery and fawning.
"Yaowei, Er Zhu is a man of great capability. You should learn from him in the future."
After Er Zhu left, Lin Sheng seemed to have thought of something and nudged Lin Yaowei's elbow, reminding him.
"Dad, aren't you praising him a bit too much? He's just a country bumpkin, not as capable as you say."
Although Lin Yaowei had a hint of agreement, seeing his father's admiration for Er Zhu, he still felt it was exaggerated.
He only had a business in town; if that was considered great capability, then there would be many capable people on every street.
"Why aren't you listening to me? I told you to learn from Er Zhu, so just learn. What's with all the nonsense?"
Seeing Lin Yaowei's dismissive attitude, Lin Sheng became angry and reprimanded him with a stern face.
Having talked with Er Zhu for so long, Lin Sheng was certain that Er Zhu's vision and strategy were the strongest among all the young people he had ever met!
In fact, even he felt inferior!
As the heir of the Lin family, Lin Yaowei should be friends with someone like him!
Seeing that his father was angry, Lin Yaowei didn't dare to say more and nodded perfunctorily.
Meanwhile, Er Zhu had intended to visit the decoration company but suddenly received a call from Wang Xiaomei.
There was trouble at the new hotel again!
As soon as Er Zhu got out of the car, he saw a crowd of people blocking the entrance of the hotel. They didn't look like they were there to cause trouble, but rather to look for jobs.
"Er Zhu, you're finally here! Hurry up and come with me, we're swamped!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Wang Xiaomei squeezed through the crowd, saying as she pulled Er Zhu towards the hotel.
After listening to Wang Xiaomei's explanation, Er Zhu learned that these people had all resigned from Wang Xiao and the others' hotels. Wang Xiao had hired them with decent treatment initially, but later their salaries dropped to just over two thousand yuan!
They were all migrant workers, and this amount wasn't even enough for them to eat, so they all quit and came here.
"Mmm, I anticipated this outcome when I made the bet with Wang Xiao."
Wang Xiaomei spoke indignantly, but Er Zhu remained calm and said these words.
"Ah? Er Zhu, don't tell me you can predict the future?"
Wang Xiaomei was stunned and looked at him with surprise. If Er Zhu nodded, she felt her jaw would drop in shock!
"No, it's a very obvious matter. Wang Xiao and the others' hotels only have a few, yet they hired nearly a thousand people. Eventually, the organization will become bloated, and they will inevitably cut wages. These workers will certainly leave."
Er Zhu shook his head and gave a simple analysis, which enlightened Wang Xiaomei and further increased her admiration for him!
Er Zhu and Wang Xiaomei had only been busy for an hour before they had recruited enough staff for the hotel, showing how many people had come.
"Big boss, can you be kind and hire us two? My husband and I are desperately in need of money."
Just as Er Zhu was about to leave, a middle-aged couple with a foreign accent approached, their eyes full of pleading.
"Enough, enough, you two. Just leave. This is a five-star hotel, do you understand what a five-star means? You two look like you violate the rules. I don't know where you get the nerve to beg."
Just as the middle-aged woman was about to say more, a sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced woman retorted unceremoniously.
This woman was one of the hired employees, but seeing her arrogant and bullying demeanor, Er Zhu had already made up his mind.
"We know we're not qualified, but we're truly desperate for money. Our child is in the hospital, and it costs over five hundred yuan a day. If you don't hire us, how will we live?"
Just as the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced woman was about to continue, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up. As she spoke, she became more and more heartbroken, and finally started to cry.
The man beside her couldn't help but shed tears as well. Although he was only in his twenties, he looked like he was over forty.
"Who isn't pitiable in this world? As the saying goes, there's a reason for misfortune. Your child's illness is definitely due to your own wrongdoings!"
Seeing the pitiful couple, everyone else couldn't help but feel their eyes redden. Only the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced woman, instead of showing sympathy, rubbed salt into their wounds.
"Exactly. There are so many pitiable people in this world. Is the boss a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings? How can he manage everyone?"
As soon as the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced woman finished speaking, a donkey-faced woman beside her echoed.
"Wuwuwu... you... wuwuwu..."
The middle-aged couple was so angry they couldn't speak. At this moment, their faces were full of tears, especially the woman, who was almost crying herself to death.
"Sister, please stop crying. Tell me what difficulties you're facing."
Er Zhu couldn't bear to watch any longer. Just as the donkey-faced woman was about to speak again, he helped the middle-aged couple to sit on a nearby chair.
