Manager Hua, Chapter 331
"No……"
Qin Yuan, leaning against the wall, sniffed, her profile showing a hint of loneliness and sorrow. "This is Master Lu's first time traveling alone. The hardships and dangers along this road must be countless. I wonder..."
“Like his father, once he sets his mind on something, he will never give up. Just like now that he’s convinced that Wen Ni is not dead, he would rather go alone and put himself in danger to find her himself!” Lu Jianxun said with a tense expression, his hand gripping his cane even tighter.
"Grandpa, I've wanted to ask you this for a long time: why didn't you stop Master Lu this time? Aren't you always the one most afraid of him getting into danger?" Qin Yuan asked.
“My children, I am over eighty years old. One day I will leave you, and that day will come soon. Since I cannot keep Konno under my wing forever, I might as well let go and let him go out into the world!”
The moonlight streamed through the window and fell on Lu Jianxun, turning his hair gray and highlighting the deep, weathered look in his eyes, as profound as the ocean.
"And... I really like Wen Ni, and I hope... Konno can find her and bring her back safely... so that the two of them can be together forever and ever..."
"Yes, it will." Qin Yuan straightened up, tears welling in her eyes, her expression earnest and resolute. "Grandpa, don't worry! I swear on my life, it definitely will!"
"Silly child, don't swear on your life so easily." Lu Jianxun shook his head with a smile. "You and Baron have grown up by my side since you were little. In my heart, you are just like Jin Ye, all my grandchildren who I have watched grow up. I hope you can both be well, live a long and healthy life, and have no worries!"
"I understand...Grandpa!"
Qin Yuan turned her head, and tears welled up silently in her eyes.
The tranquil night was broken by the morning light.
Another dramatic turn of events!
For several days in a row, major media outlets in Myanmar have been dominated by a series of explosive news stories.
Furthermore, it has affected the entire Burmese economy, politics, and even military system to varying degrees!
"With Piseman's death, none of his three sons were able to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and in just half a month, the position changed hands three times!"
"A few poor decisions almost crippled half of the Pi's Chamber of Commerce's cash flow! Several major shareholders withdrew their investments one after another, and the Pi's Chamber of Commerce is now in complete chaos!"
"With such turmoil, countless eyes are watching, plotting to dismantle the Pi family and grab a share of the spoils!"
Inside the guild hall, some of the guests were talking about the Pi's Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone is curious about who will ultimately benefit the most!
"manager."
"Hello, Manager Hua!"
In the corridor, Wen Ni, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, strode in.
Her clothes accentuated her tall figure, her short hair was neat and stylish, and her skin was tanned, which made her look less feminine and more youthful and spirited!
The waiters and girls passing by her all greeted her, bowing and scraping!
Only Maggie stayed by her side.
"Hua Ying, now that Pi Seman is dead, the entire Pi Clan Merchant Guild is in complete chaos!"
"The more chaotic the better. I'm just waiting to see how many people get involved. That'll make it really exciting!"
Wen Ni leaned against the wall, picked up a cigarette, and lit it.
Killing Pi Seman served two purposes: first, to complete the task assigned to her by Ban Gou and thus rise to power; and second, unknown to anyone, she also intended to use the Pi Clan's sacrificial ceremony to draw out the other merchant guilds of the Burmese.
Someone as well-connected as Williams must work for a powerful chamber of commerce, and there's even a high chance he has government backing!
Lost in thought, he had just exhaled a smoke ring when Maggie snatched it away.
"When did you start smoking?" Maggie frowned at her and whispered, "Try to smoke less."
"There's no other way. Given my current status, I have to adapt to local customs in order to fit in." Wen Ni smiled slightly and popped a piece of chewing gum into her mouth.
Being the manager of the Kok Mong Association is not an easy job.
Smoking, drinking, socializing, and playing mahjong.
Every day is a constant cycle of self-destruction and self-redemption. I must numb myself at times, yet remain constantly alert, reminding myself of who I truly am!
"Drink up, why aren't you drinking anymore?"
"You can't even handle this little bit of wine?"
Heckling noises came from the bar next door.
Wen Ni perked up and walked over.
Surrounded by a group of drunken male guests, she bent down and picked up her intoxicated female companion!
"Excuse me, everyone, the young lady has had too much to drink. I'll take her downstairs to sober up. I'll come back later and, as an apology, I'll join you for another drink!"
"Alright! Everyone says that Manager Hua of Kok Mong Club has a great capacity for alcohol! Let's see if he can hold his liquor today!"
"good."
Wen Ni has been doing this almost every day since she became manager.
She will do everything in her power to protect those men and women who have been forced to sign debts and sell themselves! She will do everything in her power to minimize their suffering here.
"Your club is almost turning into a proper tavern, isn't it?" On the stairwell platform, Ya-bi held a wine glass, his gaze shifting with interest from the people on the first floor who were chugging their drinks, to Ban-gou beside him.
Ban Gou lowered his head, swirling his wine glass, unconcerned. "Regardless of whether it's legitimate or not, Hua Ying can easily make them obey and willingly stay and work here. In any case, it's better than the fighting and bloodshed of the past, right?"
"Don't you think you've been too lenient with Hua Ying?"
"This is my territory. I can let whoever I want run around, and it's none of your business." Ban Gou tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine, looking at Hua Ying's drinking figure. "Don't let his gentle appearance fool you, this kid has a ruthless streak! I like it."
"Oh……"
They were talking.
The door of the guild hall was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people rushed in from outside, wielding sticks, their intentions clearly hostile!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guests in the hall hurriedly left through the side door under the guidance of the waiters.
Wen Ni, the front desk manager, quickly stepped forward, smiling and completely unfazed!
"What's going on? What happened that made everyone so angry?"
"Enough talk, call Ban Gou out!"
A dozen or so thugs stood on either side, and a handsome, dark-haired boy with delicate features, casual clothes, and a trendy style stepped out from among them!
The boy is not very old, at most seventeen or eighteen.
He was half a head shorter than Wen Ni, with smooth and elastic skin, and an undeniable youthful spirit radiating from his arrogant eyes!
Seeing him reminded Wen Ni of her younger brother Wen Cheng, who was far away in China.
They are the same age, but have entered this world, yet their lives are worlds apart!
“Young master, I’ve already sent someone to invite Brother Ban Gou. Would you like to sit here and wait a moment?” Wen Ni naturally withdrew her gaze, and she kindly gestured to the VIP sofa next to her, then asked, “What would you like to drink? Iced orange juice? Or… orange juice vodka?”
The boy, who was usually impatient, suddenly looked up.
His curious gaze swept over Wen Ni three times before he finally deigned to acknowledge her, asking, "Where's that rascal Parker? And who are you? You look unfamiliar."
"Ah~ I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hua Ying, the new front office manager of the Kok Wong Club." Wen Ni maintained a polite smile. "Manager Parker suddenly fell seriously ill a few days ago and went back to his hometown!"
"Hometown? Which hometown?" The boy chuckled, snapped his fingers playfully, and said, "Could it be... your hometown in heaven?"
"Young master, you jest."
Wen Ni, with her delicate features, asked again respectfully, "So would you like to try a glass of orange vodka? It's very popular at our club!"
"unnecessary."
The boy held up three fingers and waved them. "While I do really like orange juice and vodka, I'm not here to play around today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his bodyguards picked up baseball bats, grabbed several innocent waiters and hostesses with menacing expressions, and raised the baseball bats to smash them!
Just as the men were about to be cracked open, no matter how much they pleaded and cried for help, Ban Gou was nowhere to be seen.
"Manager Hua! Help!"
"Please help us, Manager Hua!"
The care they received during this period made them subconsciously regard Hua Ying, also known as Wen Ni, as their support and their savior who rescued them from dire straits!
"stop."
"You want me to stop? Why should I listen to you?" The boy's eyes sharpened as he stared at Wen Ni!
