Chapter 39 Threshold



Chen Zhe doesn't know how he got through last night.

When he placed his hand on his boss, Hu Ling, he trembled all over.

After finally managing to finish pressing the buttons, Hu Ling's murderous glare didn't lessen at all; in fact, it intensified.

What's most frustrating is that Lin Meiyu kept stirring things up during this process, praising Chen Zhe's stamina one minute and saying that young people are physically strong the next. Hu Ling couldn't help but respond out of politeness.

I didn't sleep at all last night, and only took a nap during the day. I didn't have time to go to school.

I was very nervous when I came to work tonight, because I was afraid of running into Hu Ling.

Fortunately, Hu Ling wasn't there.

She didn't go up to the fifth floor; she must have stayed in her office on the third floor.

I had just woken up when I arrived at the front desk and was about to clock in.

Something happened: a woman dressed in expensive clothes stood at the front desk and started arguing with the receptionist.

This woman is dressed in very expensive clothes. Her face looks like she's had surgery; it doesn't look natural. Some parts of her body also seem to have been altered. Her buttocks are unusually large, and her bust is ridiculously big.

Her voice was very loud; if she shouted, the whole floor could hear her.

"What's going on here? Do you think I don't have money? I just want to book a room, so what? It's only 2 million a year? I can afford that!"

The receptionist maintained a polite smile.

"Hello, esteemed guest, our rooms are fully booked and there are no vacancies at the moment."

Although it was phrased very tactfully.

But the woman persisted.

"All booked? Then have someone cancel it for me!! She'll offer 2 million, she'll offer 3 million, I don't believe it!! Is there anything money can't buy?"

Chen Zhe glanced at her a few times, then was pulled away by Xu Xiaomei.

"What are you looking at? Stop looking!"

Chen Zhe asked curiously, "Sister Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, there was only one guest who wanted to book our room, that woman, but Manager Mei said we couldn't book it for her, so that woman is making a scene there."

"Huh? I just heard the front desk say there were no rooms available, but I think we still have a room?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't let her hear!"

That woman has very good hearing.

He paused for a moment, then immediately walked towards Chen Zhe.

"Are there still rooms available?"

Chen Zhe paused for a moment; "No...no."

The woman glared at him intently; "I clearly heard you say you had it! And now you're telling me you don't? What's wrong with your store? Are you a big company that bullies its customers?"

The woman's voice grew louder and louder, startling some of the newly arrived guests.

Mei Xiaoting walked over at this moment.

She smiled politely and said, "This way, please. Let's go into the office and talk."

"Hmph!! Let me tell you, you have to reserve a room for me today!!"

The woman followed Mei Xiaoting inside with an air of arrogance.

Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; "That woman is so fierce!"

Xu Xiaomei smiled; "Is this the first time we've met?"

"Hehe, it is indeed the first time I've seen this before."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after seeing it more often."

"ah?"

...

About ten minutes later, the woman came out angrily, seemingly having failed to reach an agreement, and continued to curse as she went downstairs.

Mei Xiaoting came out at this moment, looking at Chen Zhe with some displeasure.

"Come in with me for a moment!"

"Huh? Me?"

"Otherwise what?"

"oh……"

Xu Xiaomei stuck out her tongue when she saw him like this; "Looks like Mei San Niang is angry. Good luck!"

...

Upon entering Mei Xiaoting's office, I saw that she looked very unhappy.

Chen Zhe was a little confused; he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Do you know why I called you in?

"Well... there must be a reason why the manager called me in."

"Heh, of course there's a reason!"

With a snap.

Mei Xiaoting lit a cigarette; every time I see her do this, it's never a good sign.

Mei Xiaoting crossed her legs and looked at him.

Do you know why I didn't book a room for that woman earlier?

"I...I really don't know."

Chen Zhe answered in this way.

That woman looked very wealthy; she didn't seem like someone who couldn't afford the annual fee.

When you open your door to do business, why wouldn't you make money?

Mei Xiaoting took a deep drag of her cigarette; "You need to know that the guests who come here are of a certain standard, it's not just about having money. Take that woman from earlier, for example, do you know what she does for a living?"

"I...can't tell."

"She runs an e-commerce business and owns several live-streaming companies, with annual sales of several hundred million yuan."

Chen Zhe was slightly taken aback; "Isn't that a good thing?"

"Hehe? That's good? You're still too young and don't understand the ins and outs of this. Forget it, I'll take some time to explain it to you today."

“Our clients here are all wealthy and powerful, but wealth and power are just the basic requirements, not the highest standard. Do you remember the client number 05?”

"Remember!"

Chen Zhe also had a strong impression of that customer; he was slovenly and unkempt, and had a lot of demands, making him particularly troublesome and difficult to deal with.

Wang Qianqian almost lost her job because of her complaint.

“That woman isn’t very rich. Her annual income is only around one million. Our entry fee is two million per year, but Sister Hu voluntarily reduced it by one million for her.”

"Huh? Why?"

"Why? Because she has status and position. She is a PhD in physics, and one of the ones who can be ranked in the world. Sometimes we can't even get someone like that."

"Huh??? No way?"

Chen Zhe was a little surprised that the slovenly and unkempt woman was actually a PhD in physics. She looked like a middle-aged woman full of complaints.

"Heh, do you think we would invite her over without thoroughly investigating the matter?"

"Well... okay."

"You know the guest in room 03, I don't need to explain her identity, right?"

"I know she is a world-renowned fashion designer, and her husband is the president of an investment bank."

"You know that, but the others are also of very high status. We can only look up to them. Even Sister Hu wouldn't dare to offend them easily."

"Yes, I understand."

"You still don't fully understand. That woman from earlier, don't be fooled by her money. People like that have very little foundation, and most of the money she earns is extremely lucrative. In our terms, it's called 'black money,' a lot of it is shady. The bags, clothes, and other products she sells are mostly counterfeit or substandard. If you take them for quality inspection, probably half of them would fail. She might even sell things that are extremely harmful to people's health. That's the kind of money she makes."

Chen Zhe was slightly taken aback.

It seems Mei Xiaoting had already investigated her thoroughly. This woman has such sharp eyes!

"Installing someone like this as our esteemed client is irresponsible to our other clients. Moreover, this woman is too high-profile, which is not a good thing for us. If other clients knew that we had arranged for her to come in, they would definitely be very disappointed in us because we have lowered their standards."

"Okay, I understand."

"Chen Zhe, remember this: we can't afford to offend the guests who come here. They've played a huge role in the company's success. If you encounter a similar situation again, watch less and talk less, and don't say anything you shouldn't. Understand?"

"Okay, Sister Mei, I understand."

"Alright, go out. You have a reservation tonight."

"Okay, by the way, I wanted to ask which room it is?"

Mei Xiaoting suddenly gave a mischievous smile.

"Room 06."

Hearing that it was room 06, Chen Zhe felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, that little devil is here again.
