Tao Lilan was clearly unaware of Chen Fang's identity.
Seeing President Sun treat him with such respect and hearing him addressed as Secretary-General, she actually started to tremble inside.
However, she didn't show it.
Instead, she grabbed President Sun's arm and pulled him to the side.
She lowered her voice and whispered sothing into his ear.
President Sun was also greatly shocked after hearing her.
He paused for a mont, then walked up to Chen Fang with a forced apologetic smile.
He said, "Secretary-General Chen, I'm really sorry, this was a mistake on our hotel's part. How about this, the hotel is willing to add fifty thousand on top of the original compensation. What's more, any ti Secretary-General Chen cos to our hotel, whether for accommodation or the restaurant, everything will be half-price. Secretary-General Chen, what do you think?"
To tell the truth.
President Sun was much more respectful than Tao Lilan.
Moreover, the conditions he proposed were quite sincere.
But Chen Fang's visit this ti was to clarify the sequence of events, and he had no interest in these compensations offered.
"President Sun, are you trying to humiliate ?"
Chen Fang said.
Upon hearing this, President Sun beca even more anxious.
He waved his hands and said, "Secretary-General Chen, it's not like that. Let tell you the truth, the Double Happiness Hall has been taken by soone more important. As you know, we are running a business here, and there are certain custors we simply can't afford to offend."
"So what you an is, Secretary-General Chen is soone you can afford to offend?"
Yu Zhengchuan asked sowhat indignantly.
President Sun hurriedly denied it.
At this ti.
Tao Lilan added with an indifferent tone, "There are distinctions between guests. The hotel will, of course, give priority to the more important custors. It's human nature, isn't it? How can a leader be unreasonable?"
"Manager Tao, how can you speak like that?"
President Sun scolded.
Tao Lilan raised her eyebrows and said defiantly, "I'm not wrong. Leaders don't have special privileges, and our hotel is five-star."
The two sang a duet.
Chen Fang could see what was going on.
President Sun had actually known about this issue all along.
The two were rely coordinating to put on an act in front of him.
One played the good cop, the other the bad cop.
Chen Fang could have accepted the hundred thousand compensation to begin with, but if that was not acceptable, then they'd just add another fifty thousand. In any case, the Double Happiness Hall was definitely not going to be given to him.
"A Chuan, let's go."
Seeing that they were still arguing non-stop, Chen Fang turned his head and said to Yu Zhengchuan.
"We're just going to let it go?"
Yu Zhengchuan asked.
Chen Fang smiled and said, "It's a day for celebration, don't let it ruin your mood. Since Shiye Hotel has made its decision, let's not humiliate ourselves."
"Secretary-General Chen, I'm really sorry..."
Seeing Chen Fang about to leave.
President Sun quickly followed, nodding and bowing.
They had just reached the lobby.
When they saw the revolving door being pushed open.
A young man, swaggering in with several others, walked in.
Tao Lilan, following behind them, imdiately put on a smile when she saw the man and scurried up to greet him, fawningly saying, "Young Master Hou, you've arrived? The Double Happiness Hall is all prepared for you."
Young Master Hou?
What a coincidence, Chen Fang also knew a Young Master Hou, nad Hou Yuanhui, who had recently suffered a big loss at Chen Fang's hands and had returned to Yuanjing, not daring to go out for the ti being.
This Young Master Hou in front of him looked even younger, probably only about twenty-four or twenty-five.
He wore a designer T-shirt with a swaggering walk that appeared very arrogant.
At this mont, he also saw Chen Fang walking towards him.
A sly smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He stopped in his tracks and said, "Oh, isn't this the famous Secretary Chen of Wulan City? What a pleasure to et you."
He actually knew who I was?
Chen Fang was taken aback.
He asked, "And you are...?"
Before Young Master Hou could respond, Tao Lilan, with a flattering deanor, said, "This is the esteed guest who has reserved our Shuangxi Hall, Young Master Hou Zhan of the Hou Family."
Hou Zhan?
Chen Fang had never heard of him.
It seed he read the suspicion on Chen Fang's face.
Hou Zhan said with a hint of pride, "Secretary Chen, hello. My father is Hou Yuanshu."
Hou Yuanshu?
Hearing this na.
Chen Fang's mind was already seventy percent clear.
After Hou Yuanhui suffered a big loss in Wulan City, he went back to Yuanjing with his tail between his legs.
After that, the Hou Family sent Hou Jingjing here to take charge.
But Hou Jingjing also failed to handle Chen Fang.
So, the Hou Family dispatched a major player, who moved to take up the post of university president at Jianning Forestry University.
And that person was Hou Yuanshu, the third son of the Hou Family.
This showed just how much the Hou Family valued Jiangdong Province.
And the Hou Zhan standing before him was the only son of Hou Yuanshu.
At this critical juncture, Hou Zhan's snatching of the banquet hall Chen Fang had reserved was clearly a targeted move.
"Oh, so you're the son of President Hou, congratulations."
Chen Fang said with a smile.
Hou Zhan was taken aback and asked, "Congratulations for what?"
Chen Fang said, "Young Master Hou has snatched the wedding hall from . I suppose there must be a joyous occasion coming up for you, too. It's certainly appropriate to offer congratulations."
"Oh, that? You misunderstood. The reason I reserved the Shuangxi Hall was just for a casual al, nothing special."
Hou Zhan said, tilting his head back.
"Just for a casual al? Does Young Master Hou usually do it in such a grand style?"
Chen Fang asked.
Upon hearing this, Hou Zhan burst into laughter, looking down on Chen Fang with contempt and said, "It's not just for a casual al. It might also be that I simply didn't want Secretary Chen's wedding to go smoothly. Secretary Chen, I wonder if you find this answer satisfying, hahaha..."
With that laugh.
The several people following behind him also joined in the laughter.
Tao Lilan stood to one side.
With a smile plastered on her face.
"Oh, so the esteed guest Manager Tao ntioned earlier is you, Young Master Hou?"
"That's right, it's . Can't help it, who am I if not this hotel's black gold client? Offending would cost the hotel much more than offending you, Secretary Chen," Hou Zhan said arrogantly.
The Shijie Intercontinental Hotel was a nationwide chain of five-star hotels.
The so-called black gold client he ntioned was a tier within the hotel's mbership system.
Black gold clients had to spend over five million a year at the hotel to qualify for that status, and naturally, the hotel paid extra attention to such custors.
No wonder Tao Lilan looked down on Chen Fang.
After all, the tips and commissions from black gold clients could cover several years of her salary.
"Oh, I see. So the hotel is sacrificing the interests of us smaller clients to serve big clients like you, is that correct, President Sun?"
Chen Fang turned his head and asked Sun Jiye.
Perhaps to show off.
Tao Lilan quickly said, "Secretary Chen, our President Sun has said before, the hotel is here to make money. Whoever makes us more money, we listen to them. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
