Chapter Six: New World Hotel 4

It's no wonder the customers misunderstood. At this moment, Wang Ze's face was deathly pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he liked to bite people. Both his appearance and behavior resembled a zombie.

"No, no, he just has a strange illness." Although the manager didn't know what was going on, he still tried to smooth things over.

As he spoke, he waved to the security guards, signaling them to take Wang Ze away.

"Don't come any closer!!" Wang Ze looked very nervous and kept backing away.

Just then, a waiter passed by carrying a tray of drinks and several glasses of water.

When Wang Ze saw this, he started shouting and yelling again.

The customer was frantic. "How could you hire someone like that as an employee?! He just bit me, will I get infected?!"

Zhao Zechen noticed this and pondered, "He's afraid of water and light... Could he have been infected with rabies?"

The manager and customers looked over in shock.

Zhao Zechen explained about Wang Ze being bitten by a stray cat, and added, "He was so insistent on saying that you don't need a shot if you're bitten by a cat, but I suspect he didn't even go."

The customers were somewhat relieved; thankfully, at least it wasn't a real zombie.

But then she felt uneasy, "He's a rabies carrier, so if he bit me, does that mean I'm bitten by a stray dog ​​and I also need to get vaccinated...?"

She spoke in such a pitiful tone that the manager didn't know how to comfort her.

But instead of comforting the customer, he took his anger out on him. He glared at Zhao Zechen and scolded, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhao Zechen was stunned after hearing this. He subconsciously explained, "The purchasing department knew too. They even asked Wang Ze to get vaccinated, and Wang Ze agreed readily to my face. How was I supposed to know that he was just going through the motions and didn't go at all?"

If it weren't for the fact that he was also scratched by a cat and was worried about his safety, so he specifically looked up the symptoms of rabies, no one would have recognized what Wang Ze was doing right now.

The purchasing department knew about it too? Great, another scapegoat has been found.

The manager glanced at Tong Jia and said in a deep voice, "We'll settle accounts with you later."

Tong Jia ignored him.

She watched as Wang Ze struggled desperately, was restrained by security guards, and even turned to bite one of them, trying to force him to let go. But in her mind, something else was on her mind—her intuition was right; Wang Ze was indeed very dangerous.

Not far away, because Wang Ze was biting and scratching people like a madman, the security guards were hesitant and several of them could not hold him down.

At the critical moment, Yun Xin put on a pair of leather gloves and then pounced on him unexpectedly. She pressed down on Wang Ze's back with one hand and his head with the other, knocking him to the ground.

"Quick, quick, tie him up with a rope! And gag him!!" the manager ordered.

Wang Ze tried to struggle, but Yun Xin was like a small mountain pressing down on him. With her hand on his forehead, he couldn't turn his head.

Seeing the customer's lips move out of the corner of his eye, the manager, quick-witted as ever, shouted first, "Has the ambulance arrived? Where is the doctor? Someone here urgently needs treatment!"

The customer moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing more.

In short, after all the commotion, the unrest was finally quelled.

When the ambulance arrived, the manager personally got in and escorted the customer to the hospital. Meanwhile, the injured security guard, along with Wang Ze, was also taken to the hospital for treatment.

Zhao Zechen was still shaken. "Two thousand yuan for a vaccine is indeed a bit expensive. But it's not expensive at all to save my life!"

Wang Ze was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with rabies shortly afterward.

Customers and security guards were given immune protein and rabies vaccine one by one.

The manager busied himself with various nice words and managed to calm the customer down temporarily.

Back at the hotel, the matter wasn't over yet; he summoned Tong Jia and Zhao Zechen to confront them.

Zhao Zechen protested, "He agreed verbally, but he didn't actually go to the hospital for the injection on time. We can't blame him for that, can we? Were we supposed to drag him to the hospital and watch them inject the rabies vaccine into his body?"

As it turns out, if a leader wants to find fault with you, they can always find a way.

The manager glared at him. "If you can't accompany him to the hospital, what about afterwards? When you noticed something was wrong with him, didn't you report it to me immediately? Did you have to wait until he caused trouble before you told me anything?"

Zhao Zechen secretly groaned.

Ever since he was scratched by the cat, their relationship has been strained. He doesn't like to talk to Wang Ze and it's hard for him to notice anything amiss right away.

Later, they ran into each other by chance. Wang Ze said he had a headache and a low-grade fever, and he believed him without thinking much about it.

When questioned, Zhao Zechen's first thought was—"Serves you right for being so talkative! If you hadn't said a word, you wouldn't have been held accountable! Now look what's happened, not only am I in trouble, but I've also dragged the procurement department into this mess."

They were both innocent!

In fact, Zhao Zechen tried to reason with his superiors, but they didn't want to reason with him; they just wanted to find someone to take responsibility.

The manager looked at Tong Jia sternly and asked, "Now that things have turned out this way, what do you plan to do?"

Tong Jia glanced at Zhao Zechen and saw that he was extremely anxious, his bright eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.

I glanced at the manager again; his face was expressionless, but his heart was probably completely blackened.

Tong Jia stared at the ceiling and said in a emotionless tone, "After the incident, I immediately checked the surveillance footage. I found that Wang Ze usually lived in the staff dormitory and had no family in the area. So after he got sick, he neither asked for leave nor went home, but stayed in the hotel."

“On the day of the incident, he was working in the lobby when he saw sunlight streaming in through the window. Without saying a word to anyone, he went over and quietly closed the curtains. Later, when a customer tried to open them, he argued with the customer in public and wouldn’t budge an inch.”

"Manager, is there something wrong with our usual teaching? The employees really treat the company like their own home."

manager,"???"

He looked at Tong Jia in shock, as if asking, "How did you come to such a miraculous conclusion?"

He was responsible for mentoring and training all new employees. Given this responsibility, he couldn't entirely shirk it.

Tong Jia smiled slightly.

Their eyes seemed to say: Come on, let's pass the buck and sink together!

He said, "Manager, I don't think Wang Ze is a good person. I told him to get vaccinated, and he agreed to it in front of me, but he didn't do it behind my back. You can't teach someone like that no matter how much effort you put in. Why don't we just say it directly if the boss asks?"

The manager stared at Tong Jia for a long time before finally saying slowly, "I think it's fine."

Zhao Zechen thought he was definitely going to get his salary docked this time. Unexpectedly, the manager and purchasing manager had a brief discussion, and the matter was resolved smoothly.

He looked at the procurement officer, his eyes unconsciously filled with a mixture of shock and admiration.

Tong Jiaxin said, "This is nothing. If you stay in the workplace for a long time, and you're not the kind of person who's submissive and willing to suffer losses, you'll also learn a lot of strange and wonderful negotiation skills."

Wang Ze was sent to the hospital, but he died two days later.

It's not that someone is deliberately retaliating, but rabies is an acute infectious disease with a 100% mortality rate. From the onset of symptoms to death, the entire process can take only a week.

It is said that before he died, Wang Ze was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but he was afraid of water.

The windows can't be opened either, because we're afraid of the wind.

The curtains must be drawn because they are used to keeping out the light.

In the end, they became neither human nor ghost.

Many people say privately, "What's the point of living like this? Death would be a relief."

Because his family couldn't be contacted, Wang Ze's funeral arrangements were handled by his company. Later, a check of his account revealed tens of thousands of yuan in savings.

According to acquaintances, Wang Ze didn't have many hobbies, except for the occasional cigarette. He lived and ate at the company, and didn't have any expenses.

Zhao Zechen sighed for a long time after learning about it. He said, "It's not that this person is poor or can't afford the vaccine, so why is he so resistant?"

The moment Wang Ze breathed his last, the transparent panel automatically popped open in front of Yun Xin.

[Congratulations to the player who successfully survived the "Wildcat Attack Incident" in instance number 113179.]

[Because you prevented the danger from spreading further and avoided more human injury, your pass rating is "C," and you are awarded the following attribute points: Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.2.]

Although Wang Ze is dead, the matter is not over yet.

With the customer still hospitalized, calming his anger and expressing the hotel's apology is the top priority.

The manager was extremely busy, running to the hospital every day to offer help and support.

Unfortunately, the boss went on a business trip out of town and wouldn't be back for a while, so the job of calming down the customers was handed over to the manager.

Behind her back, Tong Jia secretly told Yun Xin, "You know what? Our boss never goes on business trips. He only goes on vacation when there's a mess and he doesn't want to clean it up, leaving everything to the manager."

"The boss makes the money, the manager does the headaches. Everyone who sees this has to say, business people are shrewd."

Yun Xin was very surprised to hear this. "The boss is at ease entrusting everything to the manager."

Tong Jia sneered, "You think this is the first time the manager has been tricked?"

In other words, the boss has done similar things many times before, and has even gained experience in doing so.

Yun Xin was speechless.

That's so good, even a dog would shake its head.

Because of her superhuman strength, Yunxin was very popular in the kitchen.

In the words of the master chef, "It would be a complete waste not to use such strength to toss the wok."

Unfortunately, Yunxin had no intention of learning to cook. So she would occasionally go to the kitchen to help chop vegetables or lend a hand.

As time went by, he became quite familiar with his apprentices.

Occasionally, when there's something delicious, they'll secretly slip me a little bit.

During a free day, the apprentices gathered together and chatted. Yunxin, an unofficial member of the kitchen staff, sat to the side, listening while eating her special snack, corn fritters.

Corn fritters are a specialty of the hotel; they are not only fragrant and soft but also have a subtle sweetness. They taste best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Sometimes, when the head chef has a craving, he'll cook some himself. He'll keep some for himself and give some to her. But today, the apprentices were practicing; they made a small batch and tasted it, giving her the rest.

"I'm saying, isn't our boss being incredibly stingy? It's bad enough that he pays so little, but he's always finding ways to deduct from our wages. Is he short of money to go to the hospital for some cheap medical treatment?" one person said indignantly.

"I heard that not only the hotel, but the entire building belongs to the owner. I really can't understand why someone so rich is so stingy."

"Xiao Lin from the cleaning department is a good friend of mine. She said that when she was cleaning, she found cracks in the building's pillars and walls... The boss is so stingy, I'm really worried that he'll do a shoddy job."

"It can't be that bad..." Everyone was shocked to hear this.

“Now that you mention it, I do remember,” the other person said hesitantly. “Someone told me that the dressing table mirror in the second-floor guest room was broken, and the beams in the lobby were also cracked. It all happened in the last couple of days.”

Before chatting, they specifically checked that the kitchen door was locked. Even so, there was no guarantee that no one present would let something slip. So sometimes, to avoid mentioning names, they would use "that person" instead. Anyway, they'd made up stories many times, so everyone understood.

Upon hearing this, the others started making a fuss, their voices unconsciously rising, "Really? Are you sure it's not someone deliberately causing trouble?"

"That sounds terrifying! It's the kind of thing that makes you want to quit your job and run away overnight."

"If my boss were even a little more reliable, I wouldn't be so panicked right now."

"Should we tell the boss to fix it?"

The group looked at each other, "Who's going? If we say it, the boss will beat us up!"

"There's also the possibility of them making things difficult for you."

"How about we pretend we don't know anything? If the situation gets worse, maybe someone else will come forward to bring it up."

After discussing it back and forth, the group finally agreed that this was the best course of action.
