Chapter 46

"Really? Really? I can become powerful too?" The young boss looked at Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi and asked repeatedly, wanting to confirm it again and again.

But in fact, the moment he saw the lightning ball in Ye Zi's palm, he already believed that his mundane life might be about to take a turn for the better.

Because the eyes are the most honest thing to see, those already bright eyes were now filled with stars, a testament to the burning desire for a new life!

Under the expectant gaze of the young boss, Ye Zi nodded: "It will be very powerful. I hope we will meet at Lingju Temple soon. If you encounter anything during this time, you can send us a message."

Young boss: "Yes, I'll go as soon as possible."

Luo Hengzhi turned around to scan the QR code to pay, but the shop owner saw her and said, "No need to pay, it's just two servings of stinky tofu, consider it a free gift."

"Boss, are you still doing business? We're all waiting," the people in line began to urge.

"You're busy." Luo Hengzhi paid the money, picked up the stinky tofu and Ye Zi, and left.

"Master, are two portions a bit too few? Not enough to eat." Longbao Fire Phoenix reluctantly turned back to look at the stall.

Luo Hengzhi led Ye Zi out of the pedestrian street and said to Long Bao and Huo Feng, "We won't let you two go hungry. We'll find another place to eat."

"Eat, eat, eat." As soon as Longbao and Huofeng heard that they were looking for a place to eat, they perked up instantly, waving their short little paws as they perched on my shoulder, their movements just like two lucky cats.

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi walked out of the pedestrian street and stopped in front of a tall building not long after. Before their eyes came the magnificent and solemn gate.

Luxury cars frequently stop and drive out in front of the gate, and elegantly dressed men and women get out, whereupon staff immediately come to greet them and guide them.

"Hengzhi International Hotel." Long Bao and Huo Feng's eyes lit up as they looked at the six dazzling characters above the entrance. "The internet says the hotel offers unlimited food, you can eat as much as you want until you're full!"

Upon hearing the two children's simple pursuit, Luo Hengzhi smiled and led Ye Zi into the hotel building.

The soothing music gently passed through her ears, sweeping away the fatigue in her mind. Ordinary music had such power. Ye Zi looked up to find the source of the music and saw four or five people sitting on the left playing classical instruments.

Fire Phoenix: "This hotel actually has live classical instrument performances. The owner is quite sophisticated."

Luo Hengzhi raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Long Bao, looking like he knew a lot, said, "First, look at the lobby's decor. It's luxurious and grand, but not ostentatious, which shows that the boss is pragmatic and not ostentatious. Then look at the high ceiling, which makes good use of the aesthetics of light."

Fire Phoenix: "Yes, when sunlight shines on the wall, it transforms into piano keys, creating a play of light and shadow that changes with the music, intertwining reality and illusion with classical instruments. No matter how you look at it, this boss definitely has some artistic talent!"

Luo Hengzhi nodded, surprised that Long Bao Huo Feng could notice such details.

Listening to the two little ones talking so fluently, Ye Zi said, "It seems you've learned a lot online during this time."

But Ye Zi saw something different; she realized this place wasn't cheap!

Furthermore, Ye Zi left most of her money to Huo Qinglei for the daily expenses of the Taoist temple, so she didn't have much money on her this time!

"Luo Hengzhi, is it very expensive here?" Ye Zi tugged at Luo Hengzhi's hand and asked softly.

Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi's furrowed brows, smiled gently, and said, "It's alright, we don't need to pay for anything, this place is ours."

"Ours!" Ye Zi was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized that Luo Hengzhi meant that this place belonged to Luo Hengzhi.

At this moment, Ye Zi finally gained a more substantial understanding of what her junior brothers had said about their senior brother-in-law, Luo Hengzhi, being very wealthy!

"Hello, please leave. We do not allow...stinky tofu, things with a strong odor, here." A man in work clothes walked over and stopped Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi, speaking very politely.

Now that the dragon and fire phoenix can't speak, the two little ones' eyes are clearly filled with panic. They haven't even eaten yet, how can they leave!

Luo Hengzhi calmly took out a card and handed it to the staff member.

The staff member recognized the card as the boss's exclusive black and gold card before even reaching out to take it. He bowed respectfully and said, "Please come in, the private elevator is this way!"

Luo Hengzhi put away the card and followed her to the elevator.

"What's that smell!" At that moment, a man walked out arrogantly and shouted at the staff member who had just left, "Who are you? Did you register? You still dare to take me to use the private elevator?"

The staff member wanted to say something, but seeing the arrogant attitude of the person in front of him, he finally kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Luo Hengzhi looked at the two staff members in front of him, his gaze slightly darkening.

"Stinky tofu! Who allowed them to bring stinky tofu in here?" The man started to act, shoving the staff member to the ground and then kicking him with practiced ease.

"He Hao, this is the lobby, how dare you hit someone..." A baby-faced staff member hurriedly went to help the person on the ground.

"Beating you is too lenient. If you dare to talk back again, you two will both be fired. Get out of here!" the man shouted, raising his voice and pointing his nostrils to the sky, completely disregarding that they were in the lobby and whether it would affect other guests.

"What right do you have to fire us? You're always picking on Xue Hui and deliberately making things difficult for him. Aren't you being too much of a bully?" the baby-faced man retorted defiantly.

He Hao: "Since my brother is the boss here, I'm making things difficult for you guys. What can you do about it?"

Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi. Luo Hengzhi had a younger brother surnamed He? No, this person wasn't Luo Hengzhi's younger brother, otherwise why wouldn't he recognize Luo Hengzhi?

Xue Hui looked up at Luo Hengzhi, then said to He Hao in a firm tone, "What kind of boss is your brother? He's just a manager, but he thinks he's the boss?"

"So what if you're the manager? The boss only comes once in a hundred years. My brother is the boss, so you two can get out now." He Hao then turned and pointed at Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi, "You two get out of here with your stinky tofu. This is a high-class hotel; we don't serve people who eat this kind of dirty, lowly food..."

Before the arrogant and overbearing He Hao could finish showing off, he was kicked away by Luo Hengzhi and fell to the ground.

He Hao: "You dare to hit me? Believe me, my brother... will make sure you never leave this hotel again."

"You can't leave the hotel." Luo Hengzhi's eyes darkened. "I didn't expect your brother to have this ability!"

He Hao: "What, scared now!"

"What are you doing! Making a scene in the lobby!" A man in a suit stepped out of the private elevator.

"Brother, it was them who caused trouble with the stinky tofu and even hit your little brother!" He Hao saw his big backer He Shishen coming over and got up to complain.

He Shishen had only seen someone attacking his brother on the surveillance footage, but when he got closer, he realized it was Luo Hengzhi. He immediately walked over and said respectfully, "Boss... boss."

Luo Hengzhi: "He Shishen, is this man your brother?"

"Yes." He Shishen glanced at He Hao. He knew that He Hao would bully newcomers because of him, but he thought that such minor squabbles were common everywhere and harmless, so he had always indulged him.

"Do I need to tell you what to do?" Luo Hengzhi glanced at He Shishen and said coldly.

It's quite a coincidence. When Luo Heng first met He Shishen, He Shishen was struggling at the very bottom of society and was being bullied. Now, in just a few short years, He Shishen has transformed into a protector for his bullies.

Reality is such a cruel irony!

"He Hao is expelled and will never be rehired." He Shishen seemed to finally remember the path he had taken.

He had been bullied before, and if Luo Hengzhi hadn't given him a chance, he might have wasted his life somewhere.

But now he has completely forgotten the evil of the bullies, and has even become accustomed to it, considering it a common petty squabble.

He Hao realized he had messed with the wrong person this time: "Brother, please, give me another chance, I won't do it again."

“I can’t protect you this time. Don’t worry, I will go with you.” He Shishen bowed deeply to Luo Hengzhi. “Thank you for your guidance over the years, boss. I will submit my resignation after the handover.”

"Brother." Upon hearing that He Shishen wanted to resign, He Hao immediately knelt down and apologized to Luo Hengzhi. "Boss, I was wrong. Please forgive my rudeness. But my brother did nothing wrong. He works diligently and often works overtime until late at night. He is very dedicated to the hotel."

"He Hao." He Shishen quickly grabbed He Hao.

Luo Hengzhi glanced at He Shishen indifferently, took out his phone, and called Luo Yi: "Yuan Sicheng, Mingzhi International, send another manager over."

"Yes, boss." Upon receiving the notification, Luo Yi immediately dispatched people to investigate what had happened in Yuansi City.

"Let's go." Luo Hengzhi led Ye Zi past He Shishen and headed straight for the private elevator to the top floor.

Ye Zi kept glancing at Luo Hengzhi, her eyes shining, almost sparkling.

Luo Hengzhi felt embarrassed by Ye Zi's gaze and helplessly smiled, "What are you looking at?"

[Luo Hengzhi looked so cool with his cold expression just now! So domineering!]

Upon hearing Ye Zi's thoughts, Luo Hengzhi lowered her head and smiled, then covered Ye Zi's staring eyes with her hand.

If we keep watching, Ye Zi will probably soon reveal her true nature and completely lose her aloof demeanor as the senior sister of Lingju Temple.

"That older brother doesn't seem as much of a jerk as his younger brother. He resigned voluntarily, which shows some sense of propriety. Why not give him another chance?" Ye Zi asked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Ye Zi was always calm and appeared cold and ruthless, but this sentence completely exposed the soft and kind heart beneath her cold exterior.

Looking into Ye Zi's eyes, Luo Hengzhi answered earnestly, "He Shishen has been bullied before, and he knows best what it feels like to be bullied."

Luo Heng's words were all there was to it, and Ye Zi already understood.

This person has been in a high position for too long and has even forgotten that he was once at the bottom. He should understand the hardships of the bottom the most, but he chose to forget everything. He has lost his original heart. This person... he is no longer himself.

"Master, I smell food upstairs. We need to go eat." Longbao reminded its master, afraid that he might forget. "Longbao Fire Phoenix needs to eat."

Fire Phoenix curled her little nose, drool almost dripping from her mouth: "Yes, there are so many delicious things on the second floor beckoning me."

Luo Hengzhi looked at the two little foodies and said, "Someone will bring food to the room. Go wait on the sofa, and there will be food soon."

Longbao and Huofeng sat obediently on the sofa, hugging their little bellies and staring at the door.

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi went upstairs, while the staff downstairs gathered together and smashed the pot.

"Xue Hui, you knew all along that person was the boss, so you deliberately let He Hao expose his true colors," the baby-faced man asked.

Xue Hui: "Yeah, he showed me the boss's special black card, and don't you guys think that face looks familiar?"

“That face, you mean our boss…” The baby-faced man suddenly covered his mouth. “Luo Hengzhi, it’s Luo Hengzhi. No wonder the boss is so handsome.”

"What? You mean our boss is Luo Hengzhi, and Luo Hengzhi is our big boss? You don't mean Luo Hengzhi was kicked out of the Luo family, so how could he still own Hengzhi..."

"Ah... Hengzhi, Hengzhi, we didn't even notice all this time!"

Xue Hui: "If you really looked into Luo Hengzhi's past, you would know how strong Luo Hengzhi is. I have always believed that Luo Hengzhi does not need to rely on the Luo family at all. On the contrary, the Luo family has become stronger and stronger because of Luo Hengzhi."
