Chapter 422: Red Sandalwood Peace Buddha
"What? Can't make reservations at the hotel today?"
Several figures gathered around the entrance of an elegant and luxurious hotel, their brows furrowed tightly.
"Yes, our Hongchen Hotel is closed to the public today, I'm really sorry." A figure who looked like a foreman stood at the door and answered unhurriedly.
Behind him, a dozen figures were busy decorating the hotel's exterior. From the looks of it, it looked like they were rushing to renovate the hotel.
“You’ve laid out colorful flags and a red carpet, but you told me we’re not open to the public??”
"We have a distinguished guest in our hotel today, so we've reserved the room."
When they heard the word "honored guest", several people seemed to have thought of something and looked a little helpless, but there were still others who didn't react and continued to speak under the influence of wine:
"I've made an agreement with my business partners. I'm going to invite them to dinner at the Hongchen Hotel today. You're embarrassing me now... I've been having banquets in your hotel for so many years, and I know your boss; anyway, even if you have guests, , not all the private rooms will be used, so what if you just give me an extra table to save face?"
"Sorry, I can't add you." The foreman's attitude was very tough.
"Damn it, who do you think you are? Ask your boss to come with me..." The man's eyes widened and he was about to have a seizure. The people behind him immediately stopped him.
"Are you crazy? Didn't you read the newspaper?! The five major consortiums should have rented this hotel today to entertain the special envoy of the Gold Society... You want to share the venue with the five major consortiums? Are you desperate for your life?!"
Hearing the words "Five Major Financial Groups", a cold sweat suddenly broke out on the man's back. He had also lost a lot of alcohol and his face was extremely pale.
"Oh, let's go... let's change places."
Several people behind him dragged him and immediately walked outside. At the same time, they looked around with some fear, as if there would be some danger if they stayed here any longer.
"Slow down...slow down! Why are you walking in such a hurry?" The man stumbled on his feet and was almost dragged away by several people. He couldn't help but say, "I can't stop... As for running in such a hurry ?"
"Are you stupid?! Don't you know the working style of the five major consortiums?!" A companion cursed in a low voice,
"These five major consortiums are already fighting openly and secretly. Although they are hosting the dinner together, they are just trying to find an opportunity to have a good relationship with the special envoy at the dinner, thereby suppressing several other consortiums... In this case, they must participate in the dinner arrangements in advance. While trying to make the layout of the hotel beneficial to myself, at the same time prevent other consortiums from tampering with it.
Taking a step back, even if the five major consortiums don't fight with each other, do you think those second-rate consortiums will let this opportunity pass? They are eager to let the special envoy break with the five major consortiums. It is best to repeat the bloodbath four years ago. Only in this way can they have a chance to regain their position.
On the surface, this is just an ordinary dinner, but in fact, this place has long become the eye of the storm for the competition between various consortiums in the main city. Are you actually looking for trouble at this juncture? ?
Do you know how many people have been watching us secretly since just now? "
These few words instantly awakened the confused man. He looked around subconsciously and discovered that the snack bar across the street, the stall next door, the hotel room diagonally opposite, and an inconspicuous beggar on the corner were all looking directly at him. Staring at the group of them.
He was so frightened that he almost ran away from the hotel and disappeared into the street.
The foreman of the hotel watched the group of people disappear with cold eyes. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the hotel, he saw a young figure carrying a ladder hurriedly running towards them.
The foreman recognized this person as an employee of their hotel, and immediately frowned slightly and asked:
"what's the situation?"
"A lightbulb on the ceiling of the venue broke. I went out to borrow a ladder and then rushed back." The young man wiped his sweat and said.
When the foreman saw this, he didn't ask any questions. He just waved his hand and said, "Go quickly. If the arrangements are not completed before five o'clock in the afternoon, you will not come to work tomorrow."
"Yes Yes!"
The young man hurried into the hotel carrying the ladder.
After entering the lobby, the young man's eyes became profound. He glanced around lightly, taking note of all the layout here, and then walked straight towards the venue.
"These guys, it's quite grand." Chen Ling thought to herself when she saw the staff who were carefully laying out the red carpet.
If Chen Ling wants to seize the opportunity of the dinner, she must come to the venue to see it in person. After all, even the best director cannot design an excellent performance on a stage that has never been set foot on.
Although he is playing the role of a powerful and mysterious "special envoy", Chen Ling knows very well how much he weighs. Blind trust and slackness will only make him fall into an abyss of eternal destruction... Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles.
Just when Chen Ling was carrying the ladder and familiarizing herself with every corner of the place, her peripheral vision fell on the entrance of the venue not far away, and her brows raised slightly.
I saw a few figures wearing "Beidou Foundation" uniforms, pushing something more than three meters high and parked at the entrance of the venue. They seemed to be studying how to put the thing in. A white cloth covered the surface of the thing, making it difficult to see clearly.
Chen Ling's mind was spinning rapidly. She walked forward while wiping her sweat and asked casually:
"Brother, do you need help?"
The Beidou Consortium staff looked at him and found that he was a hotel staff member. The guard in his eyes still did not relax, "No, we can do it ourselves."
"Your thing is too big. It definitely can't pass through this door vertically... In this way, you can tilt it a little bit and go diagonally. It should be able to pass." Chen Ling said enthusiastically.
Several staff members looked at each other and found that there was indeed space. Several people worked together to tilt the thing under the white cloth a little and moved it into the venue with difficulty... Seeing this, Chen Ling also "enthusiastically" reached out to help.
Until the thing was transported to the entrance of the venue, Chen Ling let go of his hand, pretended to be struggling, and wiped the dense sweat on his forehead.
"Thanks, brother." A staff member saw this and said sincerely.
"It's okay, we're all workers." Chen Ling smiled innocently, "By the way, what is this? Why is it so big? I haven't heard that our hotel ordered any large decorations..."
"This is not ordered by your hotel, it's a gift from our Beidou Financial Group to the special envoy."
"Gift? What gift?"
The staff looked around and saw no one, so they whispered to Chen Ling, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, just don't spread it around... Inside is a nearly three-meter-tall red sandalwood Peace Buddha!"
