This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 137: Chapter 109: 4 Million in Compensation Right from the Start?

He had already received several payments from the other party and was gleefully thinking about how to spend the money.

But then Feng Yu showed up at his door, led by the manager.

Now, it looked like he wouldn’t get a chance to spend that money anytime soon.

"Cai Zhifeng, you son of a bitch..."

The manager completely lost it after hearing the story and couldn’t stop himself from cursing loudly.

No wonder the hotel rooms were still full of cameras despite their regular inspections.

It turned out the person responsible for the inspections was the one who had installed them.

’How the hell were we supposed to find anything?’

’Me, investigating myself?’

"We’re taking him with us, and we’ll also need to seal the cameras that were removed as evidence."

"Once the investigation is complete, your hotel will face penalties based on the findings."

Feng Yu informed the manager.

According to regulations, hotels are obligated to ensure the privacy and security of their guest rooms.

If cameras are discovered, the hotel will face fines or a suspension of operations for rectification, even if they were unaware of the situation.

"We will cooperate fully."

The manager nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a single word of protest.

’If we cooperate, maybe we’ll just get away with a fine.’

’If we have to suspend operations, the losses will be immeasurable.’

"According to regulations, even if your hotel was unaware, you are still liable for compensation and must pay the consumer for psychological damages."

Feng Yu added, thinking of Chen Mo.

"We will not shirk our responsibility."

The manager promised earnestly once again.

"Chen Mo, if you’re not satisfied with their compensation, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities and demand they take corrective action."

Feng Yu said, looking at Chen Mo with a meaningful glance.

"I understand."

Chen Mo gave her a barely perceptible nod, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

He understood Feng Yu’s hint.

She meant that if he wasn’t satisfied with the hotel’s compensation, he should use legal and reasonable means to fight for more.

It was his right as a consumer, after all.

Worried he might not know, she even told him which departments to complain to.

"Well, we’ll be going now."

Feng Yu smiled and nodded at Chen Mo.

’It seems Chen Mo has given me another stepping stone for my career.’

’Sure enough, whenever Chen Mo runs into trouble, I get to work overtime.’

’If overtime could always be this productive, I’d rather take it any day over sitting around at the station.’

Afterward, Feng Yu and her colleague left, taking Cai Zhifeng and the removed cameras with them.

Only Chen Mo and the manager were left.

Chen Mo looked at the manager. The manager looked at Chen Mo.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

"So, Manager, do you still suspect I was the one who installed the camera?"

Chen Mo asked with a slight, mocking smile.

Even though Feng Yu had left, the evidence was conclusive.

So Chen Mo wasn’t worried about them trying anything.

"Ahem... You’re joking, Mr. Chen. I never said you installed it."

The manager coughed awkwardly twice and said this without batting an eye.

"Since I didn’t install it, and I almost ended up becoming an unwilling actor, I think you need to make this right, don’t you?"

Chen Mo glanced at him and said flatly.

’It doesn’t matter what you say you said. I’ve already added that one million to your tab.’

"Don’t you worry about that. We will absolutely not shirk what is our responsibility."

"However, I’m just a manager. Why don’t you rest in your room for a bit? I’ll go notify the owner to come and negotiate with you. How does that sound?"

The manager thought about it. If they were going to compensate Chen Mo, he’d have to get the owner.

This was no longer just a matter of compensating Chen Mo for his losses.

There was also the issue of hush money.

This incident was too severe.

If word got out, it would be a devastating blow to their hotel.

"Fine."

Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded.

For something involving a payout, the owner definitely had to be the one to handle it.

How much authority could a manager possibly have?

He returned to the room he had booked earlier, while the manager went to notify the owner.

"Boss, is it a good time to talk?"

The manager asked tentatively.

"I was having dinner with people from headquarters. I just stepped out. What’s up?"

"Boss, something terrible has happened. At our hotel..."

"What?!"

...

After returning to the room, Chen Mo saw that other than the disassembled power outlet, nothing else had changed.

A short while later, he heard the sound of someone jogging down the hotel corridor.

It was getting closer and closer.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Soon, there was a knock at his door.

CLICK~

When Chen Mo opened the door, he saw a portly man in his fifties standing at the entrance, panting.

The manager stood behind him.

"Mr. Chen, hello. I’m the owner of this hotel. My surname is Xu."

Boss Xu introduced himself first, then apologetically extended a hand toward Chen Mo.

"Hello, Boss Xu."

Chen Mo politely shook his hand.

"Come in and talk."

Chen Mo stepped aside to let them into the room.

"Stand guard at the door."

Boss Xu instructed the manager.

"Understood."

The manager nodded in understanding.

’They’re about to negotiate. I need to make sure no one is outside the door.’

Soon, the room door was closed.

Only Chen Mo and Boss Xu were in the room.

"Mr. Chen, I’ve been fully briefed on the situation."

"I am very sorry for the terrible experience you’ve had and for the violation of your privacy. I sincerely apologize."

Boss Xu began with a very formal and sincere apology to Chen Mo.

"Thank you for helping us discover the camera and for helping us catch the mole."

"You’ve prevented further violations of our customers’ privacy and helped us eliminate a huge liability."

After that, Boss Xu expressed his gratitude.

He wasn’t crazy; he was genuinely grateful to Chen Mo.

If Chen Mo hadn’t discovered the camera in the room, they would likely have remained in the dark.

If, one day, a video of a guest went viral and the person in it saw it...

...and they discovered it was filmed at this hotel and chose to call the police...

...and then an investigation revealed that all the hotel rooms had cameras...

...at that point, their world would come crashing down.

The people who can afford to stay in a five-star hotel are all relatively well-off.

They are either executives from various companies or prominent public figures.

Sometimes they might discuss work in the room, or perhaps engage in some cosplay with their secretary.

Once word got out that every room in their hotel had a camera, those people would never stay there again.

The impact would be fatal.

Moreover, all the guests who had previously stayed at their hotel would also file complaints.

Faced with a massive number of complaints, a suspension of operations would be the least of their worries.

But now, Chen Mo had helped them unearth this landmine ahead of time.

He was truly grateful to Chen Mo.

"Boss Xu, that’s your internal business. I don’t care about it."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly.

"I’m well aware of that, of course. Therefore, to compensate you for your psychological distress and to thank you for your help to our hotel, I have a compensation proposal for you."

Boss Xu had already worked out a rough compensation plan before he arrived. After a moment of consideration, he looked at Chen Mo.

"First, your room fee will be refunded to you in full."

"Additionally, I will give you a Black Gold VIP card. With this card, you can stay for free in any room in the hotel, except for the presidential suite."

"When dining at the hotel restaurant, any meal for one or two people under 2,000 yuan will be complimentary."

"Regarding the camera incident, I will compensate you with 2 million yuan for psychological damages. In consideration of your help to our hotel, I will add another 2 million yuan as a token of our gratitude."

"A total of 4 million yuan, plus a Black Gold VIP card. What do you think of this proposal? Can we let this matter end here today?"

Boss Xu laid out his carefully considered compensation plan for Chen Mo.

Hearing this, the look in Chen Mo’s eyes softened slightly as he looked at Boss Xu.

’This Boss Xu seems like a decent guy. He’s certainly generous with his money.’

’The other people I’ve dealt with before always started with a low offer and slowly added to it.’

’Boss Xu started the bidding at 4 million right off the bat.’

’As expected of a five-star hotel owner. He’s loaded.’

"Your manager just suspected that I was the one who installed the camera in the outlet myself. I feel my character has been insulted."

Chen Mo spoke as if he hadn’t even heard Boss Xu’s offer, continuing on about what had happened earlier.

’I said it before. That comment from the manager is worth at least one million, starting.’

Chen Mo always did what he said he would.

Therefore, he would not agree to Boss Xu’s compensation plan.
