The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 172: Chapter 173: Condescension

After leaving the hotel, these people immediately started calling Fenglaiyi to cancel their banquets.

"Manager Gao, I have something to tell you. I’m a bit embarrassed to say this, but I’d like to cancel the full-month celebration banquet I booked for this Saturday."

"What?" Manager Gao was stunned. "Mr. Long, what’s going on?"

"It’s nothing, really. You can keep the deposit. I’m very sorry."

"Mr. Long, what’s really going on? Is there something our hotel did wrong?" Manager Gao was frantic.

"It’s not that you did anything wrong. To put it simply, I’ve booked at the Dynasty Hotel now. Their supplier is the same one used by the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel. I’ve already gone to taste their dishes myself, and they’re fantastic. As you know, I originally wanted to hold the event at the Golden Pavilion Hotel, but they couldn’t fit me in, which is why I booked with you in the first place. My apologies."

With that, Mr. Long said no more and hung up with a sharp CLICK.

Manager Gao was still frozen in a daze.

The phone rang again.

"Hello, Manager Gao. We’ve decided to change the venue for our wedding, so we won’t be holding it at your hotel anymore. Just wanted to apologize."

"Manager Gao, about my banquet..."

She received seven or eight calls in a row. They were all from people who had booked banquets and paid deposits, and every single one was canceling. They all knew they were in the wrong, so none of them asked her for their deposits back.

By the end, Manager Gao was completely floored.

’How could this be? How could the Dynasty Hotel possibly get the Golden Pavilion Hotel’s supplier to provide for them?’

The more she thought about it, the less sense it made. She immediately called her boss.

"President Peng, we have a serious problem..."

Manager Gao quickly explained the situation to Boss Peng.

"How is that possible?" Boss Peng was stunned.

They hadn’t been too concerned about the rise of the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel. After all, it was a fair distance away. The customers who would normally hold banquets or dine at their hotel... would still come as always.

But if the Dynasty Hotel had a supplier like that, it was a completely different story.

The Dynasty Hotel was right next door. If they really had a supplier like that, they would definitely be stealing their customers.

They would be the ones hit the hardest!

"What are we going to do?" Manager Gao knew how tricky the situation was and said in a panic, "We’ll be completely on the defensive if this keeps up, and this is just the beginning."

"Find them!" A chill went down Boss Peng’s spine. "Find out who this supplier is right now! We’ll source our produce from them too. That’s the only way we’ll be able to stay competitive. Otherwise, as they rise, we’ll fall. Our hotel will go out of business."

"Right!"

It was the only thing Manager Gao could say.

But finding them was an impossible task, as anyone who knew the answer would never tell them.

After a full day of digging for information yielded no results, Manager Gao was out of options. She had no choice but to go to the Dynasty Hotel with Young Master Peng to ask in person, hoping to pry some information out of them.

When they arrived at the hotel, they saw a line forming outside the restaurant.

The food there was now a huge hit. In contrast, customer traffic at their Fenglaiyi Hotel had dropped by at least thirty percent, perhaps even as much as forty or fifty.

If things kept going like this, it would drop even more.

A chill went through Young Master Peng’s heart.

’These people would rather wait in line to eat here than go to my hotel...’

"Well, if it isn’t Young Master Peng and Manager Gao!" Ma Chao walked out with a smile. "I never thought the two of you would have the time to visit my hotel. Come on in, order whatever you want. It’s on me today."

Ma Chao was ecstatic. He had often dreamed of crushing the Fenglaiyi Hotel, but he’d always thought it was just a fantasy, something impossible in the real world.

Only now did he realize it was about to become a reality.

If this kept up for a while longer, Fenglaiyi would definitely drop a tier.

"Don’t get so smug, Manager Ma," Young Master Peng said angrily.

Manager Gao’s head was starting to throb. ’This Young Master Peng is such an idiot.’

"My apologies, Manager Ma..." Manager Gao quickly cut in. "The thing is, I came here today to ask you a question. Could you tell us who your supplier is?"

Manager Gao asked the question with almost no hope of getting an answer.

But to her surprise, Ma Chao just smiled, nodded, and said, "Oh, so it was just a small matter like that. You two didn’t need to come in person. Alright, how about this? We can go up and have a bite to eat while we wait. Speaking of which, you two actually know this supplier."

What!

The two of them were dumbstruck. ’We know them?’

"Really?" Manager Gao’s heart began to race. She carefully wracked her brain, thinking of everyone she had met recently... ’No... none of them sold produce.’

"This way, please!" Ma Chao sneered internally. ’You people at Fenglaiyi are truly blind. You had such a treasure right under your noses and didn’t even realize it. You even docked his pay. You’ve really outdone yourselves.’

"He’ll be here soon!"

So they went to a private room and waited quietly inside.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and in walked a person they both knew.

WHOOSH. Young Master Peng shot to his feet.
