Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Recruiting
Li Yang felt a rush of satisfaction as he walked out their front door.
’I told you that you wouldn’t get away with my money, and that I could ruin you. Now I’ve done it.’
"President Li..." Just then, a voice called out from behind him.
Zhang Li was standing behind Li Yang, looking at him.
Li Yang smiled. "Sister Li."
Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief. The way Li Yang spoke to her made her feel like he wasn’t just some big boss.
"So you really are the supplier for the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel. I never would have guessed. You’re so successful, and you told me you were from the countryside too..." Zhang Li said with a sigh.
"But I am from the countryside," Li Yang said with a laugh. "How else would I know how to grow vegetables?"
Zhang Li gave a wry smile. "Congratulations... and, well... we all felt bad about what happened to you, but there was nothing we could do."
Li Yang nodded, then said suddenly, "Sister Li, I’ve already made a deal with the Dynasty Hotel. I’ve taken their money, so I really can’t teach you the technique anymore."
Zhang Li’s expression was pained. "I know."
Seeing her expression, Li Yang felt a little bad. "Come on," he said, "let me treat you to a meal."
Zhang Li froze for a moment, then shook her head. "No, no, I’ll treat you. You helped me out so much."
"Alright. There’s a little place just up ahead. Let’s eat there."
Knowing Zhang Li didn’t have much money, Li Yang intentionally chose a small, inexpensive place.
As they sat and ate, Zhang Li’s face was still tinged with worry.
"Are you having trouble at home?" Li Yang asked. "What was that sixty thousand yuan for last time?"
"It was for a high-interest loan my dad took out," Zhang Li said, looking down. "For my younger brother’s surgery. But it’s mostly paid off now. Thank you."
Li Yang just smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, do you want to learn my technique?" Li Yang asked, seeing she still seemed down.
Zhang Li nodded.
"Let me talk to Manager Ma," Li Yang said after a moment of thought. "Or better yet, you all should switch jobs. If you go to the Dynasty Hotel, I’m sure you’ll be able to learn it."
"Really?" Zhang Li stared at Li Yang in shock. "Would that really be okay? But..."
"I’ll ask him, but I’m sure Manager Ma is looking to expand, so he might be able to hire you," Li Yang said with a smile. "And hey, ask your coworkers too. If any of them want to come over, I can put in a good word for them."
"Okay!" Zhang Li was already getting excited.
Once Li Yang left, their high-end clientele had all but vanished. Needless to say, the hotel was bound to decline. It was questionable whether these therapists could even keep their jobs in the future.
In contrast, the Dynasty Hotel was on the rise and would give them access to high-end clients. For them, getting a job there right now would be a fantastic opportunity.
"Alright then, let’s finish eating. I’ll go ask Manager Ma when we’re done."
"Okay!"
After they finished eating, Li Yang went back and found Ma Chao to explain the situation.
"I’ll hire them!" Ma Chao said with a booming laugh. "I know the therapists at Fenglaiyi. They’re young, beautiful, and skilled. I’ll take them all."
Li Yang immediately replied, "In that case, I’ll set up a meeting and let them know."
"Great!"
That evening after work, Li Yang messaged Zhang Li again, arranging to meet up with her and the others after their shift.
Soon enough, Zhang Li arrived.
She wasn’t alone; a large group of therapists from her hotel came with her.
Seeing Li Yang again, the young women were all delighted and came forward to greet him.
Apparently, in the two days he had been there, Li Yang had completely won them over.
Li Yang smiled. "Alright, since so many of you came, let’s go get some late-night food."
The women happily nodded and followed Li Yang to a late-night food stall.
They had just sat down when, with a sudden SCREECH, a car pulled up nearby.
Young Master Peng stood there, glaring at them menacingly.
"What the hell do you think you’re doing?" Young Master Peng was furious when he saw his hotel’s therapists with Li Yang. "Damn it, I’m the one who feeds you and gives you jobs, and this is how you repay me? Biting the hand that feeds you, huh?"
"Young Master Peng, we..." one of the young women stood up to explain.
But Young Master Peng cut her off with a slap.
SLAP! The sound was crisp and sharp. He knocked the woman aside. "Fuck you! Who the hell gave you permission to speak?"
"Young Master Peng!" The others rushed forward to help the woman up.
"Planning a little rebellion, are we?" Young Master Peng sneered. "I’m telling you, don’t even think about leaving. If you do, you can kiss your fucking paychecks goodbye."
Then he turned his glare on Li Yang. "You little shit, you’ve got some real fucking nerve, don’t you? Daring to poach my people? You’re dead. I’m telling you..."
With that, he yelled to the young men behind him, "Get him!"
They were clearly a bunch of thugs Young Master Peng had brought for revenge. They sneered at Li Yang, brandishing iron bars as they prepared to attack.
"You have to get out of here!" Zhang Li was clearly terrified, but she still urged Li Yang to run.
"Run?" Li Yang’s expression turned murderous.
’I thought your family’s business was settled, but if you insist on coming here to ask for a beating, then I won’t hold back.’
