Director Tian felt goosebumps all over his body. The shock and pain he felt from the words that left the president's mouth and the hard grip he had on his shoulder inundated him. He almost wanted to kneel before the young man.
"I also heard about his brother-in-law. Was it Huo Cheng?"
Special assistant Guo continued without letting go of Director Tian.
"It's Manager Huo Chang, Sir." Mr. Smith supplied who surprisingly recovered from the shocking events that took place just a second ago.
"Yes, Huo Chang..." Special assistant Guo averted his gaze from the crowd and looked down at the old man who looked like he would collapse with just a touch. "I heard of his excellent mastery in pleasing people. Every guest he had served and met with was extremely pleased by the service he had done for them. Not only that, you, Director Tian, also did splendidly in maintaining a client to keep coming for more."
Director Tian shook his head. "No, tha.. that's not true, Sir."
"Hm? What is not true?"
"That we did anything wrong!" Director Tian firmly said. "We are being accused and framed by someone malicious. Mr. President, I have been working in the hotel for almost a decade now. I watched the hotel from when it was still miserable until it had become one of the biggest hotel chains in the country. Please do not believe what these malicious people are saying about me!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe 'malicious people' he pointed at was extremely pissed by his accusations. Who spread false rumors? Who continuously used their position to fire people and let their own people in the hotel? How abused their power to occupy a hotel room and suite to accomodate their friends, lovers, families, and even some wealthy people for free?
Wasn't it all him, Director Tian, who started it all?
Special assistant Guo seemed surprised at Director Tian's outburst. "You've been working here for almost a decade?"
Director Tian nodded deeply, "Yes!"
The Northern Star hotel wasn't what it used to be. Nine years ago, it had been quite in a miserable state where every room was empty and customers wouldn't stay for long. The reputation was also torn apart by a rivaling hotel company, stealing the customers and investors away from them.
At that time, Director Tian was only an average hotel worker who received two thousand yuan (350$) every month. He basically rose his position along the growth and popularity of the hotel.
Special assistant Guo was also thinking of this. However, Director Tian forgot about something important...
"That's strange... very strange." Mr. Smith suddenly interjected. "Eight years ago, there should have been a purging of employees at that time."
"Purging?" Special assistant Guo's attention was quickly drawn to this information.
Mr. Smith smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat. "I mean not completely a purge. But that was what we used to call it eight years ago when we heard about how every one of the employees of the hotel was released and their contracts were terminated."
Special assistant Guo finally remembered. He wasn't Song Yu Han's assistant at that time and was still serving in the army. However, when he became the big boss's assistant, he heard about the 'Purging' that Mr. Smith was talking about.
Nine years ago, Song Yu Han was still very young at that time. At the age of eighteen, he had already started to target the people who suppressed him and took over the two families, the Lu and Xue clans. He also acquired the hotel chain that was in the hands of the Xue family that fell in the hands of the branch family, including the current Northern Star hotel.
During that time, the Northern Star hotel was still under the spell of the branch family and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Director Tian was part of the employees that witnessed the fall of the hotel.
But everything changed when Song Yu Han ruled over the hotel a year after he took over the two families. He started to cut the roots of the wild grasses in his yard, pulling out all the evil and ambitious people who wanted to ruin his reign. He started from the highest position, the president, to the employees.
Of course, Song Yu Han wasn't that cruel towards the employees who knew nothing about the situation. He terminated their contract after he paid them a hefty amount of money for their time and effort wasted in the past years and months that they worked in the hotel.
Now going back to the current time, Mr. Smith glanced at Director Tian with a quizzical look.
If Director Tian's words were the truth... Then, why was he still working here?
Was he not affected by the termination of contracts or the purging?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Smith said: "Director Tian, were you really one of the employees here nine years ago?"
Director Tian felt like he had swallowed a pin and was unable to throw up or swallow them.
How could he possibly forget about that?!!
Now, he had shot his foot a few times and his toes were now bleeding.
Special assistant Guo quietly stared at Director Tian before he said, "It's scorching outside. We should go downstairs and start an urgent meeting. Drag him and Manager Huo into the conference. I would like to know what excuses they could produce in such a short time."
Special assistant Guo let Mr. Smith guide him downstairs. On the way, he excused himself by saying he needed to go find the lavatory, which Mr. Smith pointed at the closest one for him.
Then, without anybody around him, Special assistant Guo called his big boss and asked him what he should do now that there was actually a wild grass that survived nine years ago and even cultivated other grass roots around him.
Several seconds later, Special assistant Guo received a reply.
[The Big <anno data-annotation-id="4f9ce59b-fdf3-ed47-20ec-5e2152c66983">D</anno>*: Uproot them and make them disappear."]
Special assistant Guo's eyes darkened and glinted after seeing the reply. There was no need to hesitate. Just do what this Big Devil wanted him to do.
