Hu Yaohui felt that what they said made sense. They only thought of finding people like Hong Kong businessmen to threaten Director Wang. The main reason was that these people, even wearing imperial robes, wouldn't look like princes. Who knew that Xie Sui would give him an unexpected surprise.
After buying so many things, the final bill came to over a thousand. Gao Feng was immediately anxious. They hadn't even seen any money yet and had already spent so much. How many pig's heads could they buy with that much!
"Big brother, this..."
Hu Yaohui's face also turned grim. He was a farmer at heart. Making money was a hard-earned struggle; they hadn't reached the point where money meant nothing.
"Brother Hu, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your cubs. Twenty thousand."
One thousand versus twenty thousand, which was more important?
"I'll go pay."
"Ah, that's more like it! Twenty thousand, a sure thing."
Gao Feng glared at Xie Sui, feeling that this kid was unreliable. Who was the boss here?
Xie Sui had already gone to flirt with the waitress. He had bought so many things, a big customer, and he was handsome, with two followers. The waitress even wanted to ask him if he was married. Sudan Novel Network.
"We can go now."
"Coming right up, little sister. I'll come find you next time. Take this money and buy some soda to drink. Big brother is treating you."
He stuffed ten yuan into the waitress's hand. The waitress was even happier. It was enough for soda for a month. "Thank you, big brother. Come back next time."
Xie Sui: "..."
He felt like he was at a spa. You're a respectable waitress, don't say things that are so misleading.
"Definitely."
Xie Sui waved goodbye and walked ahead with his hands in his pockets. Hu Yaohui and Gao Feng followed behind with bags of goods, his former self as CEO's aura returning.
The waitress's eyes sparkled. So handsome!
Her colleague teased her, "Who was that? Stop daydreaming. He probably has a wife!"
The waitress was indignant. "How could he? If he had a wife, would he flirt with me? Look, he gave me ten yuan for soda."
Her monthly salary was only thirty yuan. Ten yuan was just for soda. If they were to date seriously, the spending level would definitely be top-notch.
"Tch, only ten yuan? Why didn't he buy you a designer bag? Silly girl, men like that are just playing with you. Hey, this money doesn't seem right."
The colleague took it over and looked. On the back of the money, it was written: "Call the police, I'm being held hostage."
The two were shocked. What was going on?
"Go find the manager! Don't just stand there stupidly. I told you, you can't get something for nothing. Even if you do, it's poisoned. Do you believe me now?
Don't drink the soda. This money definitely has to be handed over."
The waitress was heartbroken. Her dream of love was over before it even began.
Even if they reported it to the police, in the vast sea of people, without any cameras or clues, where would they find them?
Xie Sui just wanted to leave an impression with the police that he was being held hostage. What if the plan failed later and he was considered an accomplice?
The former CEO Xie would have to go to jail this life. What kind of rebirth was this!
That would be too tragic.
Back at the hotel, Gao Feng was still unhappy. "How much money do you have on you? You're so generous, giving ten yuan to flirt with a girl!"
"Serves you right for not having a wife, you stingy old man. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your cubs. We're doing big business, we need to be generous. If I gave them three mao or five mao, wouldn't it all fall apart when Mr. Wang found out?"
After saying that, Xie Sui himself laughed. Three mao or five mao would be for a child!
Hu Yaohui was also amused and exasperated. "Brother, you're a very interesting person. For some reason, I feel a connection with you."
Xie Sui looked horrified. "No, I'm male, I like women, and I don't engage in 'Gao Ji'!"
Gao Feng was confused. "What's 'Gao Ji'?"
Xie Sui burst out laughing. "Kid, you still deny you're stupid? Men doing things with men!"
Gao Feng's eyes widened. "How do they do it?"
Xie Sui: "..."
Damn it, if I say any more, it'll get suggestive, but it's approved. Stop, stop.
"Change your clothes. We're going to see Mr. Wang now."
"Go now?"
"Otherwise? Wait until the New Year?"
Xie Sui went to change first, putting on his watch and tie with practiced ease, as if he dressed like this every day. His hair was slicked back in a three-seven split, gel applied, and glasses put on, giving him an air of cultured depravity.
But he was quite intimidating. He had something about him.
Gao Feng couldn't help but say, "Kid, where did you learn that? Not bad!"
"Please call me General Manager Zhao. And when we go out later, don't speak unless I tell you to."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his dialect would betray him. With that accent, how could they believe he was from Hong Kong?
Gao Feng snorted, but this time he didn't argue, as he was indeed unsure.
Xie Sui then scrubbed him from head to toe like a pig, even brushing his teeth three times. His face was smoothly shaven, and he also put on sunglasses and gelled his hair into a slicked-back style. The two of them now had an imposing presence.
The others marvelled, "Oh, we almost didn't recognize you. Fengzi, you're quite handsome."
"Really?"
Gao Feng grinned, feeling awkward.
"Let's go."
Xie Sui, carrying a briefcase, his expression serious, and Gao Feng suppressing his usual boisterousness, followed him.
The three of them appeared in the hotel lobby, attracting many curious glances. Xie Sui remained composed and walked directly towards the steel mill.
The gatekeeper stopped them. "What are you here for?"
"Hello. We're from Hong Kong. May I ask if Director Wang Fugui Wang is here?"
"From Hong Kong?"
The gatekeeper was immediately respectful. Xie Sui's slightly accented Cantonese was impressive, understandable yet sounding sophisticated, making him half-believable.
Gao Feng and Hu Yaohui exchanged glances, their surprise hidden by their sunglasses. Xie Sui had brought them too many surprises.
"Yes, is this the First Steel Mill? We're new here, and my Mandarin isn't very good. Did we come to the wrong place?"
The gatekeeper quickly said, "This is the First Steel Mill. You're not in the wrong place. Please wait a moment, I'll call Director Wang."
"Thank you."
Xie Sui pushed his glasses up, appearing humble, polite, and carrying the air of someone from a major city.
Soon, Director Wang rushed out. He was a short, stout, fair-skinned middle-aged man, like a stunted eggplant, and bald, looking greasy and unkempt.
Director Wang's white shirt was soaked with sweat. Why would people from Hong Kong suddenly come here?
The most worrying thing was his counterfeit equipment. If they took one look, wouldn't it all be exposed?
No, he absolutely couldn't let them enter the factory. "I'm sorry, for your long journey, we apologize for not welcoming you properly. Let's find a place to talk. Don't suffer heatstroke in this hot weather."
"Okay, as the guest, I'll follow the host's lead. My surname is Zhao, and my position is General Manager of the Northwest Regional Sales Department. Just call me General Manager Zhao."
Xie Sui reached out and shook his hand, then immediately let go, resisting the urge to wipe his hand with a handkerchief. The sweat was disgusting!
