Chapter 222: I Will Hire You

Chapter 222: I Will Hire You

Hearing the fatty's roar, Yu Kexin realized someone had come in. She hurriedly sat up from the sofa and straightened her clothes slightly. It was indeed not good for her boss to see her getting a massage while on the job.

"Boss Zhong, he… he is giving me a massage." Yu Kexin blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"A massage?"

The fatty continued furiously, "You really have a lot of leisure time, don't you? Finding a pretty boy to massage you while at work. You are truly shameless. I like you so much, yet you never agree to be with me. I thought you were a pure woman, but it turns out you like to rob the cradle. I really didn't expect you, Yu Kexin, to be this kind of person."

"Boss Zhong, things are not the way you imagine." Yu Kexin hurriedly explained. She seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty and was afraid that this fatty would fire her.

"I caught you red-handed, and you're still making excuses?" The fatty became even angrier, and the volume of his voice grew louder.

Zhou Lang finally understood why this fatty was so angry at this moment; it turned out that this fatty, Boss Zhong, liked Yu Kexin!

"Boss Zhong, right? You consider yourself a boss, yet you're shouting around here. What kind of gentleman is that?" Zhou Lang couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.

"What are you? Just a pretty boy. What right do you have to lecture me in my hotel?"

Boss Zhong looked at Zhou Lang with disdain. He did not know what had happened at The Bar earlier and had no idea of Zhou Lang's prowess. He still thought Zhou Lang was Yu Kexin's lover.

"I am definitely going to teach you a lesson today."

Slap!

With a flash of a shadow, before Boss Zhong could understand what was happening, he received a slap on the Face. This slap was not light; not only was he seeing stars, but five finger marks also quickly appeared on his Face.

"You actually dare to hit someone? Do you want to go to the police station?"

Boss Zhong covered his Face and shouted angrily. Zhou Lang's strength was so fierce that although he was tall and burly, he dared not fight back against Zhou Lang. Of course, this was a very wise decision on his part; if he had tried to fight Zhou Lang, he would likely have ended up in a miserable state.

Seeing Zhou Lang hit someone, Yu Kexin was also stunned. She knew that because of this slap from Zhou Lang, the possibility of her keeping this job had been completely shattered. However, since Zhou Lang had helped her before, she couldn't blame him.

"Boss Zhong, I hit you for two reasons. First, because you are ungrateful; I am your benefactor, yet you dared to call me a pretty boy. Second, because you don't distinguish right from wrong. Yu Kexin is suffering from a serious illness, which I discovered by chance. Yet, while I was treating her, I was interrupted by you. A person like you, who is so self-righteous, don't you deserve to be hit?"

Zhou Lang sneered, "If you want to call the police, go ahead. Who can prove I hit you? Besides, even if you could prove I hit you, so what? At worst, I'll pay you a few hundred yuan for medical expenses!"

"Kexin is sick?" Boss Zhong asked, half-believing after hearing Zhou Lang's words.

"She gets abdominal pain at this time every day, pain so severe it's unbearable. You like her, but have you ever truly cared about her?" Zhou Lang said, "You don't even know these things. Do you have the right to say you like her?"

"Kexin, is this really true?" The fatty, Boss Zhong, looked at Yu Kexin and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou did not exaggerate at all." Yu Kexin said, "It was because I suddenly had abdominal pain just now that I asked Mr. Zhou to give me a massage. The relationship between Mr. Zhou and me is not what you imagine it to be."

"Why didn't you tell me if you were unwell?" Boss Zhong's expression softened slightly as he said, "I like you so much; I would definitely have hired the best doctor to treat you."

"Boss, other than asking about the hotel's daily performance and how much money I've helped you earn, what else have you ever asked me? I need money right now, and I'm afraid of losing this job, so even if I'm in pain, I endure it."

Yu Kexin said with some indifference.

"I have also asked if you like me and if you can marry me." Boss Zhong said, acting somewhat like an idiot.

He was already fifty years old, and his appearance was an eyesore. Apart from having money, there was really nothing about him that could attract a young woman. Yu Kexin was not a gold-digging woman, so how could she possibly submit to him?

"Boss, I want to find someone who truly cares about me. You just like my beauty and want to possess my body, and then have me manage the hotel for you for a long time. I have never liked you."

Yu Kexin was silent for a moment before speaking. Previously, in order not to lose this job as a hotel executive, she couldn't directly refuse Boss Zhong. Now that she knew this job couldn't be kept anyway, she didn't have so many scruples and spoke her true feelings.

"Then why have you never directly rejected me?"

Anger appeared on Boss Zhong's Face. Before, he still had fantasies in his heart, thinking that Yu Kexin had some feelings for him. Now that he had received a clear answer, his fantasies were shattered.

"Boss, you should know my family's situation. My brother owes a huge gambling debt, my younger brother is still in college, and my parents are old. I have to support the whole family. Given your personality, I was worried that if I rejected you outright, you would fire me immediately."

Things had reached this point, so Yu Kexin had to tell the truth.

"This woman, it turns out she works so hard." Zhou Lang held Yu Kexin in even higher regard, because he knew that a woman supporting a family on her own was not easy.

"So that's how it is." Boss Zhong said, "Then aren't you afraid that I will fire you now?"

"Even if you fire me, I still want to tell the truth, because I don't want to be misunderstood by you anymore." Yu Kexin said firmly. Although she was worried about her future life, she did not hesitate at all when saying this.

"Yu Kexin, since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work. Of course, if you choose to be my woman, you can come back to work at any time, and I will give you a lot of money to help you pay off your brother's gambling debts, support your parents, and help your brother finish college."

Boss Zhong said coldly to Yu Kexin, then looked at Zhou Lang and said, "At most, you are Yu Kexin's benefactor, but now that she has been fired, you say you are my benefactor—how does that follow? You laid a hand on me, and I won't call the police, but I have friends in the underground world. Be careful in the future; I will make you pay for today's slap a hundred, a thousand times over!"

"Boss Zhong, you don't have to think everyone is the same as you. Not everyone is so obsessed with money. I think Young Miss Yu Kexin will not come back to you."

Zhou Lang said, "Earlier, when someone was causing trouble in your hotel, it was I who drove them away. Otherwise, your hotel would likely have been smashed by now. At that time, I acted out of respect for Young Miss Yu Kexin's Face. If I had known you were a guy who relies on a bit of stinking money and thinks you can buy everything, I wouldn't have lifted a finger."

"You drove them away? My hotel has so many security guards; the people causing trouble could have been handled by them alone." Boss Zhong sneered, "Young man, don't try to gild your own lily. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big?"

"Very well." Zhou Lang said indifferently, "My name is Zhou Lang. If you want to cause me trouble, you are welcome to do so at any time. As for what I said, believe it or not as you wish."

"Mr. Zhou, you should leave quickly."

Seeing that the conversation between Zhou Lang and Boss Zhong was becoming increasingly incompatible, Yu Kexin gave Zhou Lang a look and said uneasily. She knew Zhou Lang had a background, but she also knew that Boss Zhong had deep connections with people in the underground world, and she worried that Zhou Lang would be ambushed by Boss Zhong.

"Young Miss Yu, you don't need to worry about me. In Feiyun City, there is no one who can hurt me." Zhou Lang said, "Anyway, you've been fired, so come with me. I will hire you."

"You hire her? She has an annual salary of 300,000 here. It's not even certain if you have 300,000 in assets."

After taking a look at Zhou Lang's attire, Boss Zhong sneered. Although Zhou Lang wasn't dressed shabbily, he wasn't wearing any luxury brands, and there was no expensive watch worth hundreds of thousands on his wrist. Therefore, he felt that Zhou Lang must be a wage earner, not some rich person.

"That is not something you need to worry about."

Zhou Lang said indifferently to the fatty, Boss Zhong, and then said to Yu Kexin, "Young Miss Yu, if you trust me, then come with me. I will give you an annual salary of 500,000, I can cure your illness, and you can receive five years' salary in advance. Most importantly, from now on, no man will harass you, and who you like is entirely your own freedom."

If Yu Kexin hadn't seen the scene where Zhou Lang easily drove away Brother Xiaohu, she wouldn't have believed Zhou Lang's words. But Zhou Lang had left such a deep impression on her earlier, and besides, Zhou Lang was able to easily identify her illness and help her relieve the pain, so she already trusted Zhou Lang completely.

"Of course I trust you, let's go."

Yu Kexin almost didn't hesitate at all and followed Zhou Lang outside.

"Yu Kexin, don't be fooled by this young man." Boss Zhong didn't expect Yu Kexin to give up her high-paying job as a hotel manager so easily, and was immediately furious, saying in a Yin and Yang, sarcastic tone.

"Boss Zhong, that is my business. I don't even want this month's salary. Bye." Yu Kexin had already decided to say goodbye to Boss Zhong, so she was quite resolute.

"This Yu Kexin always has a smile on her Face when dealing with problems. For the sake of her family, she can endure, but when she really needs to make a decision, she doesn't drag her feet at all. She is indeed an excellent management talent."

Zhou Lang saw all of this, and appreciated Yu Kexin even more.

Li Mengxue had Cao Yanzhi as her right-hand woman, but if they really wanted to open a hotel, management talent would still be insufficient. However, with Yu Kexin, an executive who had Advanced hotel management experience, many things would be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Zhou Lang, Yu Kexin, you will soon regret this. I, Zhong Tao, am not a kind person." The fatty, Boss Zhong, said fiercely, following Zhou Lang and Yu Kexin out of the office.

"Come find me anytime. But I warn you, if you lay a hand on Young Miss Yu Kexin, you will regret it." Zhou Lang turned back and said indifferently.

Although Zhou Lang's voice was not loud, it sounded very cold. The fatty, Zhong Tao, seemed to feel a chill.

Zhong Tao was startled and dared not make a sound again.

Soon, Zhou Lang and Yu Kexin had walked to the hotel's front lobby. Zhong Tao, that guy, also followed to the front lobby. He wanted to see for himself what kind of car Zhou Lang was driving when he left, and to see if Zhou Lang had any background.

Zhou Lang took out his mobile phone and was about to call Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko to let these two Japanese female ninjas leave, but Brother Xiaohu walked in quickly from outside the hotel.

Seeing Brother Xiaohu, Zhong Tao immediately looked happy. He bypassed Zhou Lang and Yu Kexin and walked up quickly.

"Brother Xiaohu, I didn't expect to see you here."

Zhong Tao leaned into Brother Xiaohu's ear and secretly pointed at Zhou Lang, saying, "That kid is blind. Brother Xiaohu, you have reach that extends to the heavens. After he leaves the hotel, have your people teach him a lesson. After it's done, I will offer a small gift, and I will also arrange for a few tender young girls to serve you."
