The lobby manager stood up, clutching his waist, his face a picture of shock as his gaze fell upon Su Xuan. His boss had just held a meeting yesterday, mentioning that the Jiang Feng Yu Huo Hotel had joined a hotel alliance. Could this delivery guy be the president? "Boss, you’ve got to be kidding me!" the lobby manager cried, looking mournfully at the man who had just kicked him. He absolutely refused to believe Su Xuan was the president. "Do I look like I have time to mess with you?!" Zhao Chengwen, the hotel’s owner, immediately walked up to Su Xuan and reached out to help with the package. Seeing this, the lobby manager didn’t dare to doubt any longer and rushed over to help. Eager to atone for his mistake, he even squatted down. "Let me carry it by myself!" As a result, the moment Su Xuan and the hotel owner let go, the large package crashed down on him with a THUD! He was instantly pinned to the ground, looking like a turtle carrying a giant shell. In the end, a female attendant had to bring a small trolley from the storeroom to wheel the package away. "President..." Zhao Chengwen glanced at Su Xuan, then motioned toward the lobby manager, who was squatting nearby panting. All it would take was a single nod from Su Xuan, and he would fire the man without a moment’s hesitation. He had been utterly terrified by Gao Zhitong! Gao Zhitong had told him that after offending Su Xuan, it cost him one hundred million to smooth things over! "Come on, sign for the package." Su Xuan paid the lobby manager no mind at all. He even found it somewhat amusing. This lobby manager is so unlucky. He got slapped down before he could even start posturing. And the Jiang Feng Yu Huo Hotel was indeed a member of the alliance. During the meeting that night, Zhao Chengwen had been the one constantly refilling his teacup. "President, would you like to sit in my office for a while?" Zhao Chengwen suggested after signing. "No, I need to continue my deliveries. You must be busy too, right?" Su Xuan shook his head. "Today is a bit busy," Zhao Chengwen said. "A company is holding a meeting here, and that package just now was a subwoofer for them. Aren’t people strange these days? They claimed it was to make their leader’s voice sound more ’magnetic’ during speeches, so they insisted the hotel provide a subwoofer!" "Heh, that is pretty strange," Su Xuan chuckled. "You’re busy, so I’ll get going." Su Xuan turned and walked away, and Zhao Chengwen escorted him all the way to the door. Just as he reached the entrance, Su Xuan came face-to-face with an acquaintance. "Haha, Brother Su!" Ever since Su Xuan had introduced him to that wealthy woman, Niu Dalei had quit his job to help manage her businesses. Su Xuan hadn’t seen him in days and never expected to bump into him here. "Brother Su, I’ve missed you so much!" Niu Dalei exclaimed, throwing his arms around Su Xuan in a warm embrace. "I’ve missed you too, brother!" Su Xuan replied, patting Niu Dalei on the back. "What brings you here? Is there anything I can help with? I know the owner here." No need to be reserved with your own brother. "You’re too kind, Brother Su!" Niu Dalei released his hug but kept holding Su Xuan’s hand. "I’m not here for anything special, just holding a motivational meeting for our staff." Niu Dalei suddenly lowered his voice. "Brother Su, thank you for introducing me to that wealthy lady. I’m now the vice-president of a resort!" "Congratulations!" Su Xuan also whispered, "That woman runs a resort?" Niu Dalei nodded. "Yep. She got a few partners together and set up a resort over on West Mountain. It opens tomorrow. That’s why she asked me to quit my job, haha!"

"The resort’s conference room isn’t equipped yet, so the conditions aren’t great," Niu Dalei explained. "Besides, right after the meeting, we have to go invite some clients to come and show their support tomorrow. The resort is pretty far from here." "I see," Su Xuan said. He now understood who that subwoofer was for. Just then, a young man in a suit and tie walked over. "Oh, let me introduce you," Niu Dalei said, pointing to the young man. "This is my assistant, Li. He was just parking my car." "Speaking of cars," Niu Dalei continued, pointing to a nearby parking spot, "that Audi A8 right there!" Seeing the undisguised pride on Niu Dalei’s face, Su Xuan patted his shoulder and joked, "Impressive! An assistant and a luxury car. If I ever fall on hard times, I’ll have to count on you to feed me!" "Of course, no problem!" They both knew they were just joking around—the kind of bullshitting that only happens between brothers. Niu Dalei was well aware of his own standing; he was nowhere near Su Xuan’s level. The fact that Su Xuan would banter with him was a huge sign of respect. But Niu Dalei’s assistant, Li, didn’t know the inside story. He said to Su Xuan in a snide tone, "Sir, please refrain from patting Boss Niu on the shoulder. It’s unprofessional in front of the other employees." He believed that Su Xuan, dressed in a delivery uniform, was in no position to be patting Niu Dalei on the shoulder, even if they knew each other. He saw nothing wrong with what he’d said. As an assistant, it was his job to maintain his boss’s image. But to his complete surprise, his boss’s expression instantly turned grim. Niu Dalei abruptly lifted his foot and kicked him hard. The assistant staggered back several steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud. "Do you have a death wish?" Niu Dalei roared, furious with his assistant. "What’s my relationship with Brother Su? Is it your place to tell us what to do, you idiot? Get up, apologize to Brother Su right now, and then slap yourself twice so you’ll remember this!" Without Su Xuan, he wouldn’t be where he was today! Anyone who disrespected Su Xuan would have to deal with him! "Brother Su..." the assistant began as he scrambled to his feet. "Brother Su? Do you think you’re qualified to call him that?" Niu Dalei snapped. "Master Su, I am deeply sorry," the assistant stammered. "Please forgive my ignorance and audacity! I was wrong. I sincerely apologize!" With that, the assistant bowed deeply to Su Xuan. Then, he raised his hands and slapped himself hard across the face, twice. Seeing the assistant’s red, swollen cheeks, Su Xuan was at a loss for words. Why does someone always get beaten up because of me? Is it because I’m being too low-key? He spoke to the assistant with a helpless sigh, "You did nothing wrong. Your Boss Niu is just too strict with you. You two should get back to your work. I need to get going as well." Niu Dalei immediately waved at his assistant. "Give me an Emperor Card!" The assistant hurriedly opened his briefcase and presented a dark, heavy-looking card to Niu Dalei with both hands. "Brother Su, I’ve had this card prepared for you for a while now," Niu Dalei said. "Even if I hadn’t run into you today, I would have made a special trip to give it to you. Please, you have to accept it. And if you’re free tomorrow, remember to come and support your brother!" Niu Dalei nonchalantly stuffed the card into Su Xuan’s hand and then hurried off with his assistant. "Heh! Dalei really is an interesting guy." Su Xuan glanced at the card. It had a string of ID numbers on it, along with the resort’s name and address. He put the card away. He guessed this card was probably quite significant. Just as Su Xuan got into his Charman King, ready to continue his deliveries, he received a call from Cen Haonan. "Brother Su, is now a good time?"
