"What's the meaning?"
"Everyone has to think about themselves. I'm just an employee, so I prioritize my own interests. The internal struggles in this hotel are fierce, and I'm almost marginalized. Otherwise, why would a manager like me risk my life to entertain guests?"
Manager Bai poured out his heart, filled with resentment, about his struggle with Liang Zihui, how he was recently demoted to deputy manager, and the harassment he received from the customers in this brothel.
No one can see through the illusions of the world, but this chaotic world is too tiring, weighing on one's shoulders like a mountain, let alone for a frail woman like her.
Lu Feng lifted his hand out of the water, placed it on her thigh, patted it, and sighed, "Everyone in the world is tired, and all they do is live a mundane life for a few pieces of silver."
Silver coins?
Manager Bai lit a cigar, took a puff which made him cough, and stuffed it into Lu Feng's mouth, saying, "You're not like me. You're rich, and I'd like to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. Here, you wear a mask every day, and it's too tiring."
"Then let's change our place and our life."
Manager Bai splashed his feet in the pool water and said, "It's not that easy to leave. You've seen it yourself, the people here aren't exactly benevolent. I want to take this opportunity to stay by your side and use it to escape."
The cigar was a bit pungent, so Lu Feng coughed twice and asked, "Is Bai Meihua your sister?"
“My cousin, she’s also had a hard life. Her father has fallen ill from overwork and is still in the hospital. I’ve helped a lot, but it’s just a drop in the ocean.” Manager Bai’s face showed some worry.
"What kind of work did you bring her here for?"
"well........"
A low sigh, as if hiding unspeakable bitterness, was heard without any reply, yet it seemed to express endless inner thoughts.
"Let me give you a massage!"
An hour later, Lu Feng, wrapped in a bath towel, prepared to change his clothes. Manager Bai anxiously asked from the side, "Are you really going to stay here for the night?"
“My hotel is very expensive, it would be a waste not to stay here,” Lu Feng said casually.
"Then I'll go with you."
"Why are you coming with me?" Lu Feng asked, looking at her.
"I want to use this opportunity to leave this place, as I told you," Manager Bai said, sounding somewhat flustered.
"I agreed?" Lu Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not appropriate. I'm going to take a shower. If I run away with President Ke's deputy manager, it's hard to say what will happen when we get out. Everyone has their own fate. Maybe you were born to suffer."
"President Lu...you..." Manager Bai was already in tears.
Lu Feng put on his underwear and said, "President Bai, do you know how I made my fortune?"
"Rely on what?"
“Liar!” Lu Feng straightened his clothes and said casually, “I’m also a master at lying. My greatest strength is that I’m ruthless.”
Manager Bai was slightly taken aback, wiped away her tears, sniffed, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. In that case, I'll go touch up my makeup and see you off in a bit."
Lu Feng waved his hand behind him without turning his head.
A short while later, Manager Bai stood by Ke Bing's bedside.
"How about it?"
"I felt he believed it, but then he stopped believing it. This person is very shrewd; you can't just gain his trust with a few words," Manager Bai said helplessly.
Mr. Ke nodded, his expression changed, and he hissed. Even though he was alone, there were six legs at the foot of the bed.
"This guy's a real tough nut to crack now. He's protecting him fiercely, and he's got the ledgers in his hands. He's trying to reap the benefits, so we have to find a way... Oh my god..."
"Mr. Ke, what's wrong?"
"Let's get down to business. The best way is to find someone to get close to him and get their hands on the ledgers. At the very least, we need to confirm whether they are actually in his possession."
Manager Bai stood there thinking for a moment, then suddenly thought of Bai Meihua and said, "I do have someone in mind."
"who?"
"My little sister!"
...............
Manager Bai hurriedly went downstairs and ran into Liang Zihui on the way. The two walked past each other but ignored each other, each going their own way. However, there was only one manager in the entertainment department.
"Hello, Mr. Bai!" a waiter greeted.
"Where is the person who came with President Lu?"
Which one?
"It's that woman. Didn't I tell you to book a room for her?"
"At 608!"
Manager Bai strode towards 608, secretly envying Bai Meihua. She was just a country girl, yet she had the opportunity to move between two bosses. Such an opportunity was once in a lifetime!
