Chapter 0010: A Tall Tree Draws the Wind

"Alright, alright, thank you very much, young brother!" Upon realizing Liu Huaidong's intention, Luo Zhenqiang couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "Where are you now, young brother? How about I send a car to pick you up right away?"

"Do you have any further questions regarding my eligibility to dine?" Liu Huaidong asked with an expression as calm as a still pond.

As soon as he finished speaking, two security guards rushed over from the hotel entrance with rubber batons. Upon seeing Li Tao and Cao Xuerong, they immediately seized them and dragged them to the door, throwing the two out as if they were just disposing of trash

This membership card is definitely fake; it must have been stolen by this kid from somewhere! At that moment, Li Tao shouted recklessly again: "And that phone call just now, look at his shabby appearance, how could he possibly know General Manager Luo!"

At this critical juncture, Manager Su can hardly afford to curry favor with the sons of any real estate tycoons.

At that moment, as Manager Su felt anxious and uneasy, he heard Luo Zhenqiang's voice coming from the other end of the phone again, "Oh, so you are at the Paradise Hotel. In that case, little brother, please go find Manager Su first and have him take good care of you for me. The car I dispatched will arrive shortly."

Moreover, in Manager Su's view, today's matter is clearly a scheme by that little rascal Li Tao to undermine him. Clearly, he is the most esteemed holder of a black gold membership card, yet he is being labeled as a poor country bumpkin by him

Fortunately, I was wise enough not to offend the esteemed Liu Huaidong, which is what Manager Su is most grateful for at the moment

Their big boss is still thinking about how to properly entertain the distinguished guest before him. If Luo Zhenqiang were to find out that he was just thinking of finding an excuse to drive the person away, who knows if Luo Zhenqiang would directly skin him alive

However, the saying that a tall tree catches the wind is no joke. At this moment, Liu Huaidong desires peace and quiet. Although Manager Su does not have the courage to disturb him, it does not mean that others will refrain from doing so.

Hmm. Liu Huaidong nodded, began to lean against the sofa with his eyes closed, clearly not intending to engage in further idle chatter

As for Cao Xuerong, a materialistic woman who can only occasionally enter such high-end venues by following Li Tao, when has she ever encountered such a scene

At that moment, Liu Huaidong deliberately pointed at the two individuals and said to Manager Su: "Manager Su, you also heard what President Luo just said, that you should take good care of me before he sends a car to pick me up... However, these two people are making a scene here for no reason, which is somewhat affecting my mood"

However, just as Manager Su was feeling anxious, Liu Huaidong merely smiled faintly and said to Luo Zhenqiang on the other end of the phone: "Oh, Manager Su is right next to me; he is doing quite well in hosting. You can rest assured, President Luo."

After seeing those two fellows being thrown out, Manager Su still took a moment in his heart to greet their ancestors in the most affectionate manner for eighteen generations, and then, with a full sense of apology, approached Liu Huaidong and said, "Sir, are you satisfied with how I handled this?"

At this moment, it was not only Manager Su who looked at him as if he were a fool; throughout the dining hall, from social elites to waitstaff, everyone was looking at Li Tao with a gaze of concern typically reserved for the intellectually disabled

You damn ... ...

Such a good job, where else can one find it after losing it

Initially, Manager Su had no intention of falling out with Li Tao, but after hearing the boastful remarks Li Tao made earlier, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself

Li Tao was just about to point his finger at Manager Su and curse a few words, but he was directly swatted away by Manager Su. "Where are the security guards? Get over here and throw these two idiots out!"

It is indeed reasonable to think about it, after all, when Luo Gang was sent to the hospital following the car accident, the diagnosis revealed multiple comminuted fractures throughout his body, with several ribs broken.

I can't believe it, the esteemed Luo Zhenqiang personally called to invite me to a family banquet? No matter how busy he is, he must make time for this! Such an opportunity is truly rare!

Afterward, Liu Huaidong nodded and sat back down on the sofa. Only then did Manager Su, with a sullen expression, turn once again to Li Tao and Cao Xuerong, saying, "You two have already disturbed the dining experience of our most esteemed guests at the Paradise Grand Hotel. Please leave."

"That's good. Little brother, if you need anything, just feel free to ask him. Don't hesitate at all!" Luo Zhenqiang advised.

"It's all gone, it's all gone. This gentleman is absolutely qualified to dine here. Even if you were to smash this hotel, I wouldn't dare to voice any objections!" Manager Su wiped the sweat from his forehead, fully adopting a submissive demeanor.

This handsome man, I will give you two million. When you go to Mr. Luo's house for dinner later, take me along and just say that I am your attendant, how about that

You foolish person from Malagobi, do you know what kind of card this is? This is the highest specification black gold membership card of Baodong Group. What are you pretending to be in front of their VIPs with your worthless platinum card?

Nonsense, that is a person of great importance who holds the highest level of black gold membership card from Baodong Group, someone whom their CEO, Luo Zhenqiang, must treat with respect!

This gentleman, I am the CEO of Nanhai Company, this is my business card

After weighing his options, Liu Huaidong thought that he had nothing of great importance to attend to anyway, and since the meal had been spoiled by the two despicable individuals, Li Tao and Cao Xuerong, he had lost his appetite. Thus, he decided to do a favor for Luo Zhenqiang and go to his home for a good meal

At this moment, however, Manager Su did not show the slightest respect towards him as before, but instead let out an unusual roar, "Li Tao, you have already affected the mood of our most distinguished guests. Now, leave immediately!"

After ending the call, Liu Huaidong looked at Manager Su with a playful gaze. He had merely made a simple phone call, yet Manager Su's emotions had undergone a dramatic rollercoaster, comparable to a journey from heaven to hell and then back from hell to heaven

After formulating a plan in his mind, Liu Huaidong nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, it just so happens that I can also take the opportunity to check on your son's physical condition and prescribe a few more medicines to promote bone growth."

"Sure, I am currently at the Paradise Hotel under General Manager Luo," Liu Huaidong replied to Luo Zhenqiang, then cast a somewhat playful glance at Manager Su beside him

It seems that Li Tao is truly out of touch; Liu Huaidong possesses the highest-tier black gold membership card from Baodong Group, which grants him the utmost privileges across all industries under Baodong. What are you even pretending with your measly platinum card?

If such a big shot casually mentioned it in front of Luo Zhenqiang, wouldn't he be saying goodbye to the position of manager at the Paradise Hotel?

This, this... how is this possible? Why does this kid have a black gold membership card?" Li Tao, in a daze, glanced at the platinum membership card in his hand, and the next moment, a look of despair akin to having lost his father appeared on his face

It is important to know that working under the Baodong Group comes with benefits and待遇 that are among the best in the business world

Thank you, I am very grateful to this gentleman. Earlier, I was ignorant and failed to recognize your greatness, and I inadvertently offended you. I kindly ask you not to hold it against me.

As the manager of the Paradise Hotel alone, he can earn a seven-figure annual salary each year, enjoy the benefits of a state-owned enterprise including five insurances and one fund, and occasionally take advantage of his power to engage in inappropriate conduct with female staff members.

Sir, this is my business card. Meeting is a matter of fate; why not get to know each other?

After that, the two exchanged a few pleasantries before Liu Huaidong hung up the phone

However, at this moment, Liu Huaidong had no time to attend to this group of people. Upon hearing Luo Zhenqiang extend an invitation to him, Liu Huaidong immediately realized that this was likely due to his lingering concerns about his son's injury, prompting him to request another visit for a follow-up examination.

"What kind of attitude is that, Su? I am a platinum member here, spending over a million every year at your hotel. How can you treat your customers like this, you bastard?" Li Tao felt a surge of anger as he saw Manager Su's sullen face

I will offer three million

Several social elites in the dining hall at present rushed forward, each vying to present their gilded business cards to Liu Huaidong.

Observing Manager Su, whose forehead was dripping with sweat, Liu Huaidong smiled slightly and teased, "Manager Su, I just gave you enough face, didn't I?"

At this moment, in this situation, what Manager Su was thinking about was how to make Mr. Liu Huaidong comfortable. Not to mention that he would be willing to let that kid Li Tao go, even if it meant rolling himself out of the hotel, Manager Su would do so without the slightest hesitation

This card doesn't even have five pieces in total, do you think they are everywhere on the street? Stolen? Why don't you steal one and show it to me!

Such a serious injury, yet Liu Huaidong managed to get up and move around lively within half an hour. Who could feel at ease in such a situation?

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, please wait a moment, I will handle your issue right away!" Manager Su turned to face Liu Huaidong, once again adopting that expression of a grandson paying New Year respects to his grandfather.

Upon hearing Luo Zhenqiang's words, Manager Su unexpectedly shed two lines of hot tears

"Are you saying this card is fake?" Upon hearing this, Manager Su was filled with rage, quickly turning around to point at Li Tao's nose and berating him fiercely

After hearing the voice of Liu Huaidong from the Nokia, everyone in the Paradise Hotel was filled with the same thought.

Manager Su finally came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing repeatedly to Liu Huaidong in gratitude, to the extent that he seemed almost ready to kneel and pay his respects to Liu Huaidong.

Manager Su, standing to the side, was even more cautious as he watched Liu Huaidong, unsure of where to place his hands and feet to show respect, with beads of sweat pouring down his forehead.

Long before Manager Su pointed at Li Tao's nose and berated him, she had already been cowering in the corner, too afraid to speak

When Manager Su noticed that Liu Huaidong was looking at him, he couldn't help but swallow hard, gazing at Liu Huaidong with pleading eyes, imploring him not to speak ill of him in front of Luo Zhenqiang
