Outside the largest private room, Hualong Hall, at the Shenghao Hotel in Hualong City, Manager Chen gave instructions to a young man in a hotel suit pushing a cake cart:
"Yang Sheng, remember not to talk too much once you go in. Chairman Lin hates talkative service staff the most."
This is one of our hotel's biggest clients. I'm giving you this opportunity because I've seen how well you've done this year.
"Work hard, and I'll try to promote you to duty manager by the end of the year."
The young man named Yang Sheng was tall and well-proportioned, about 1.8 meters tall, and could be described as handsome. Most importantly, he always had a slight smile on his face, which gave people a very sunny feeling and made people subconsciously like him.
Yang Sheng smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Manager."
Manager Chen glanced at his watch and said, "Go ahead, remember, the cake must be delivered at 11:58 sharp. Chairman Lin is very particular about time."
Watching Yang Sheng push the cake cart away, Manager Chen sighed inwardly and shook his head slightly.
It's a pity about Yang Sheng. I heard he graduated from a top medical university in China, but he ended up working as a waiter in a hotel. It's such a waste of his education.
In the hotel industry, seniority is everything; no matter how capable you are, it's useless without it.
Even though Yang Sheng has been well-behaved, sensible, diligent and hardworking throughout the past year.
But the long-time employees who have been here for years are all waiting, how could it be your turn?
Has the job market really gotten this mess?
Manager Chen shook his head in confusion and left. He trusted Yang Sheng completely; although young, Yang Sheng was very steady and reliable.
Inside the private room, Lin Zhendong, the richest man in Hualong City and chairman of the Lin Group, sat at the head of the table. Below him were seven or eight senior executives of the Lin Group, who were also Lin Zhendong's immediate family members. Only they were qualified to attend Lin Zhendong's birthday banquet.
Lin Zhendong is over seventy years old this year, but he has not retired yet and still controls the Lin Group.
This old man was just a cement carrier on a construction site in his early years. It took him more than 50 years of fierce competition in the business world to build the Lin Group, which is involved in real estate, energy, steel manufacturing and other industries. One-third of the people in Hualong City even work for the Lin Group or companies controlled by the Lin Group.
Beside Lin Zhendong, a young man was lounging with his legs crossed, casually playing with a lighter in his hand, yawning impatiently as his uncles and elders flattered his grandfather.
He is Lin Dongming, the grandson of Lin Zhendong, a notorious third-generation rich playboy in Hualong City.
The Lin family has had only one son per generation for three generations, so he is not worried about anyone threatening his position. Therefore, no matter how much of a playboy he may act, the position of heir to the Lin Group is still his.
At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to listen to the compliments from his uncles and elders; his mind was still on the little internet celebrity he had slept with the day before.
The woman acted all innocent during her live stream, and even after receiving hundreds of rockets (virtual gifts), she still hesitated and said no. But in bed, all she did was shout "I want it!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Chairman Lin, your cake has arrived."
"Come in."
Yang Sheng pushed the cake cart in and turned around to naturally lock the combination lock on the Hualong Hall private room.
The Hualong Hall is a private room specially built by Shenghao Hotel for Lin Zhendong. The interior facilities are very luxurious and it also has an active soundproofing function. As long as the door is locked, no sound can be heard outside the room, and the level of privacy is extremely high.
Lin Zhendong seemed to have sensed something, but before he could say anything, Yang Sheng had already quickly pushed the cake cart over.
He was tall and burly, and strode over to the table in a few steps. Lin Zhendong's expression immediately changed, and he shouted sharply, "Stop!"
Before anyone could react, Yang Sheng had already casually pulled out a triangular dagger from under the cake cart and, with his left hand gripping Lin Dongming, lifted him up by force!
Lin Dongming felt as if Yang Sheng's hand was an iron clamp, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless.
Before he could even shout, Yang Sheng leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't speak, I'll send you on your way."
puff!
With a soft sound, the triangular dagger pierced Lin Dongming's carotid artery, was quickly pulled out, and then pierced Lin Dongming's heart again. It was precise and fast. Instantly, blood gushed out like water along the Y-shaped open wound, staining Yang Sheng's snow-white shirt red.
Yang Sheng threw Lin Dongming's body on the ground like a dead dog, and looked at the blood-stained triangular dagger in his hand with great satisfaction.
I wonder who invented such a sharp killing weapon as the triangular dagger.
It is not suitable for close combat because the triangular dagger only has one attack method, thrusting, which is too limited in variety.
However, once the triangular thorn pierces the body, blood will continuously flow out along the blood groove, while air will enter the body through the blood groove, forming a large amount of foam, blocking blood vessels, and accelerating the death process.
Furthermore, the wound caused by the triangular thorn is a Y-shaped hole, and even if it is bandaged and sutured immediately, the bleeding cannot be stopped immediately.
Simply put, once it's pierced, even a god couldn't save you.
This is why, despite having so many weapons to choose from, Yang Sheng, who has traveled north and south over the years to study traditional Chinese martial arts and various fighting styles from around the world, chose the triangular dagger.
At this moment, everyone in the private room except Lin Zhendong was completely terrified.
Everything happened so fast that they were caught off guard. It wasn't until Yang Sheng threw Lin Dongming's body on the ground that they let out a scream.
Yang Sheng frowned, pointed at them with the triangular dagger, and said impatiently, "You guys are so noisy!"
