"Mr. Wang, please, don't let the boss fire us. We really know we were wrong."
Hearing Wang Xu's words, all the security guards turned their heads and begged Er Zhu.
"Deducting three months' salary is enough. They've had a hard time too."
Er Zhu looked at the pitiful appearance of the security guards and thought of his experiences in the countryside, then looked up to plead.
If it weren't for the River Luo Divine Technique, he might still be a fool in Shilong Village. Besides, strictly speaking, these security guards weren't wrong; they were just a bit slow-witted.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang! Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
Hearing Er Zhu say this, the security guards breathed a sigh of relief. The onlookers also nodded in approval. They were even more interested in Er Zhu, especially some distinguished ladies and socialites.
"Alright, then we'll do as Er Zhu says. Go back and work hard, and don't let Mr. Wang's opportunity go to waste."
Hearing this, Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. If Er Zhu had insisted on firing them, it would have been difficult to find replacements in a short period.
Fortunately, Er Zhu wasn't petty. He had to cling tightly to this golden thigh!
"Boss Wang, I'm the manager of the Glorious Hotel. Are you free tomorrow? I sincerely invite you to visit our hotel!"
"Boss Wang, I cultivate medicinal herbs. We can also cooperate!"
"Boss Wang, could you do me the honor of sharing dinner with me?"
...
Seeing Er Zhu about to leave, many onlookers rushed forward with business cards seeking cooperation, and even more wealthy young ladies sought marriage prospects, but they were all blocked by the security guards.
"Er Zhu, I'm truly sorry for the mistreatment you suffered. From now on, I will stay by your side constantly."
After leading Er Zhu on a tour of the hotel, Wang Xu suddenly remembered the incident at the entrance and sincerely apologized to Er Zhu again.
"It's nothing. My dressing and appearance are a bit unkempt, so it's normal for the security guards to stop me."
Er Zhu waved his hand dismissively and looked down at his casual attire.
This outfit was bought for him by Li Mei a year ago. Although it was an unknown brand, it was comfortable to wear, so he hadn't thrown it away.
After the experience in Shilong Village, Er Zhu felt that these things were not important. A person's strength was the most important thing to him!
"Miss Sun, please don't go in. The young master is meeting an important guest!"
Just as Wang Xu was about to say something, he suddenly heard the secretary's voice from the entrance. He looked up and saw a charming beauty storming in. Although the secretary tried to stop her, the woman's demeanor was too fierce, and she couldn't be held back.
"Wang Xu, do you know you've been deceived? I am the true owner of the medicinal cuisine recipe!"
Before Wang Xu could ask anything, the woman, holding an envelope, looked at Er Zhu and Wang Xu with an arrogant expression.
Wang Xu was stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He looked at Er Zhu, whose eyes were full of speechlessness.
He knew that once his reputation grew, people would impersonate him. He didn't expect it to happen so soon, and it was a woman!
"My name is Sun Xiaoxia. I learned medicine from a divine doctor since childhood. This kid stole my medicinal cuisine recipe. I'm here today to prove myself to everyone!"
As Sun Xiaoxia spoke, she took out her phone, which displayed a surveillance video of Er Zhu stealing the medicinal cuisine recipe!
Er Zhu curled his lips. This imposter was quite prepared, even fabricating video evidence!
"You know Elder Feng from the capital, right? My master is Feng Chenzi, a disciple of Elder Feng. If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask!"
Seeing that Wang Xu still seemed unconvinced, Sun Xiaoxia pulled up Elder Feng's phone number. Seeing Sun Xiaoxia's confident demeanor, Wang Xu became a little bewildered.
He instinctively felt that Sun Xiaoxia was the imposter, but her evidence was too comprehensive. Could it be that Er Zhu had stolen the medicinal cuisine recipe from someone else?
"You still don't believe me? Then think about it yourself, has this con artist ever shown you the recipe?"
Seeing that Wang Xu was still half-believing, Sun Xiaoxia swallowed and continued to question him.
Sun Xiaoxia was indeed a disciple of Feng Chenzi, but she had given up her medical studies due to lack of success and came to Hua City alone to develop her career.
She had opened clinics to make a living, but they all failed due to her poor medical skills. Just as she was at her wit's end, she heard about the medicinal cuisine recipe and began impersonating Er Zhu. Unfortunately, she only knew Er Zhu's name and didn't know him personally.
She had made a lot of money using this trick and had indeed exposed several people impersonating Er Zhu.
A flash of inspiration crossed Er Zhu's eyes as he saw through Sun Xiaoxia's intentions. He remained silent, quietly watching her performance.
"Yes, Er Zhu said he didn't have the recipe, but he said he would send a herbal package."
Wang Xu frowned, recalling Er Zhu's words as he muttered to himself.
"Right, the con artist told me the same thing. I had someone investigate, and what he gave me were ordinary medicinal herbs. How could such ordinary medicinal herbs be brewed into such delicious Five-Flavor Chicken!"
Wang Xu was about to say something when another voice came from the entrance. The three of them turned their heads and saw several more hotel owners walking in angrily.
The leader was a man who looked at Er Zhu triumphantly, as if to say, "Kid, my scam is still brilliant. You're in trouble today!"
Seeing this scene, a flicker of shock and panic flashed in Sun Xiaoxia's eyes. She never expected that the person who had been silent all along was actually the legendary Wang Er Zhu!
"Manager Liu, Manager Chen, why are you here?"
Seeing the newcomers, Wang Xu's eyes widened. He quickly stepped forward, his attitude as humble as it could be.
He was just the young master of a second-rate wealthy family. These people were from first-rate wealthy families, and some were even reclusive magnates!
"Hmph, of course, we're here to settle accounts with this con artist. If this kid doesn't give me all my money back today, then don't blame us for being rude!"
As Manager Liu finished speaking, he snorted coldly, glaring at Er Zhu with rage, his fists making faint cracking sounds!
"That's right, we thought this kid was capable, but we didn't expect the recipe was stolen by him. No wonder he refused to sell us the secret recipe!"
"Money back! Money back!"
...
As Manager Liu finished speaking, Manager Chen beside him also spoke up. Within seconds, the other hotel owners also raised their fists and slowly approached Er Zhu.
They had treated Er Zhu like a deity, only to find out he was a fraud!
But it made sense. Even if a country bumpkin had some ability, he couldn't be as capable as Er Zhu. This was indeed something they had overlooked.
