Chapter 22: If you want to be a good ironsmith, you must be strong yourself



“Hiss…it hurts, it hurts!”

"Hmph, do you feel the pain now?"

"Come, let me blow it for you."

Inside the hillside villa.

Ling Wei took an alcohol cotton ball and carefully wiped the wound on Chen Yang's forehead.

After she came back, she dressed more casually, with her hair tied into a bun and only a cool green vest on her body.

The exposed snow-white shoulders and her youthful beauty make people feel itchy.

Especially when she came closer, the fragrance was so strong that Chen Yang could hardly bear it.

“Hu…Hu…”

Ling Wei puffed out her cheeks, stood tall, and blew hard for Chen Yang.

But suddenly, she felt something was wrong.

Look down.

Chen Yang's eyes widened as he looked inside her collar.

"What are you looking at, disgusting!"

Ling Wei's face changed and she slapped Chen Yang on the head.

Chen Yang felt so painful that he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, his face full of innocence:

"You blame me for what you did to me?"

"It's so big, I can't hide from it!"

Ling Wei blushed slightly and glared at him: "Shut up!"

She was so angry that she put down the alcohol bottle with a bang, turned around, took out a document from the table and threw it to Chen Yang.

"then."

"What's this?"

"contract."

Chen Yang was full of confusion and took a look at the contract.

Inside was a labor contract, which stated in black and white that he had been hired as the general manager of the Skyline Hotel with an annual salary of 3.8 million yuan and a 15% share of the hotel's profits at the end of the year.

"This..." Chen Yang was stunned.

"I told you, it's all back to you."

Ling Wei sat opposite him with a serious expression.

"Back in college, you treated me to restaurants, milk tea, and movies every day, and then you turned around and ate steamed buns in the cafeteria. I still remember it."

Now it was Chen Yang's turn to blush.

"You...you know everything?"

Ling Wei took out her phone and clicked on a photo.

"Not only do I know, I also kept photos."

On the phone is a photo of the young Chen Yang from ten years ago, sitting alone in the corner of the cafeteria eating a steamed bun.

He was actually very poor at the time. The money he earned from working part-time was barely enough to take Ling Wei out to play, and his own living expenses were stretched to the limit.

He was embarrassed to let Ling Wei see his embarrassing side, so every time he went to the cafeteria, he did it secretly.

Unexpectedly, Ling Wei had always known his little secret.

I even kept his photo for a full ten years.

"Hey, can you delete the photo..."

After a moment of surprise, Chen Yang suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

Ling Wei put away her phone and smiled sweetly:

"No, this is your most handsome photo. I want to keep it for the rest of my life."

"Don't..." Chen Yang smiled bitterly, but soon frowned and said:

"Ling Wei, that was the past. I really can't accept the fact that you're doing me such a big favor all at once."

"You spent a full 1.5 billion to buy that hotel, and now you're asking me to manage it, but I don't know how to manage it. I'm afraid I'll mess it up for you."

Hearing this, Ling Wei smiled and shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. It's public money anyway."

"Public funds?"

"Yes, this money is all from Longmen's public funds. Uncle Liu went to the scene before to help me with the account transfer."

After she said that, Chen Yang felt even more unbearable.

"No, if you use public funds, I can't afford to lose it all for you."

Ling Wei chuckled: "You're overthinking it. 1.5 billion is a drop in the bucket for Longmen."

"You can take the hotel. Even if you make a loss, you should try to make as much loss as possible."

Chen Yang was even more confused and frowned: "Are you still trying to find a way to lose more?"

Ling Wei rolled her eyes at him.

"If you don't make a little loss, how can you make money?"

"Cooking the books and taking kickbacks, understand?"

After hearing this, Chen Yang was shocked.

"Is this... really okay?"

Ling Wei looked at him and asked, "Why, do you still have some grudges in your heart?"

“A little.”

Seeing Chen Yang in trouble, Ling Wei's expression suddenly became serious. She leaned closer and told him word by word.

"Chen Yang, you need to know."

"Longmen is not a charity organization. Sometimes, they even kill and burn people."

"If you don't even dare to touch such a small amount of public funds, it will be difficult for you to follow me in the future."

There was a silence.

Chen Yang was silently preparing himself mentally.

Ever since he left that home, he is no longer an honest worker.

The real upper class society is far more complicated, dirty, and law-abiding than he imagined.

If he still maintains that petty-bourgeois mentality of a working man, he will probably never be able to make a name for himself.

But his silence made Ling Wei feel weak, so she continued seriously:

"Chen Yang, I said at the beginning that I would take you into the Dragon Gate."

"Not just anyone can enter Longmen. You must have a certain background and influence, and the Skyline Hotel is the path I've paved for you."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, I'll send you to the Longmen Conference, and when others check your background, they'll find nothing. That'll be very difficult, understand?"

Chen Yang nodded: "I understand."

Ling Wei hummed, "I'm glad you understand. You don't need to worry about the business operations. Uncle Liu has already found a management team for you. There are only two things you need to do."

"First, check the account book at the end of each month and sign it."

"Secondly, use the hotel's advantages to expand your network. For example, if city leaders come to dinner, take the initiative to send them a few bottles of good wine, make some friends and build good relationships... I don't need to teach you these things, right?"

Chen Yang nodded again.

"I know, thank you Ling Wei."

"But actually, what I'm more interested in now is..."

Ling Wei smiled and interrupted him directly.

"Do you want to become stronger now?"

"Yes."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes, and he recalled the scene where he was beaten by Hong Qing's group in the hotel.

Yes, he can rely on Ling Wei to gain some status.

But as Hong Qing said, Ling Wei can protect him for a while, but can she protect him for a lifetime?

After all, a blacksmith must be strong himself.

To put it in the short term, even if he became the owner of the Sky Hotel, he would not be able to control the situation if something happened to the hotel because he did not have the ability.

To put it in the long run, Ling Wei wants to bring him into Longmen. If he is just a waste, how can he be looked upon by the people of Longmen?

At this moment, there are many opportunities in front of Chen Yang.

But the prerequisite is that he must grasp it.

"What are you still sitting there for?"

Suddenly, Ling Wei's voice interrupted his reverie.

Chen Yang looked up in confusion.

Ling Wei looked out the window and stood up. "If you want to become stronger, follow me. I'll tell you something."
