Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

“Why not? Besides, I only arranged half of it,” Lin Yi said.

"Only half of the arrangements have been made?"

You've gone to such lengths to deal with the other party, and the result is only halfway there?

With Yang Tao watching, Lin Yi picked up his phone and made a call to a reporter.

"Hello, is this reporter Zhao? At the Jinmao Hotel, a security guard is beating a customer. You must go and manage the security situation."

"Yeah, the security guards at Jinmao Mansion are just too arrogant..."

"Hello, is this Reporter Liu? Jinmao Hotel..."

"Hello, is this Reporter Wang? Jinmao Hotel..."

Lin Yi made several phone calls to reporters, and only after finishing those calls was Lin Yi's work almost done.

"Reporting someone and extorting money is one thing, but to actively expose someone else?" Yang Tao said.

"Otherwise what? What's the point of them handling it themselves?" Lin Yi retorted.

"But wouldn't this be a bad thing?" Yang Tao asked worriedly.

"He owes me money, and he's blaming me for messing with him? If I don't get him this time, I've wasted all these years in Shanghai," Lin Yi said.

Yang Tao silently mourned for that damn general manager for three minutes.

What could have been resolved with 30,000 yuan has now turned into a mess, angering Lin Yi. If Lin Yi's plan is followed, the Jinmao Hotel will have to close down and undergo rectification.

For a five-star hotel like this, especially in Shanghai, an international metropolis, even a single day of closure would result in a significant financial loss.

"Are you sure nothing will happen?" Yang Tao asked.

"Even if something happens, it's someone else's problem, what problem do I have?"

"As a passionate citizen of Shanghai, I have made significant contributions to the city's development," Lin Yi said.

Yang Tao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Yang Tao said, "Thank you. I know you wanted to stand up for me."

"No, you're overthinking it. I just can't stand him owing money and not paying it back, and his arrogant attitude," Lin Yi said.

"Mmm." Yang Tao nodded with a smile.

Lin Yi put his arm around Yang Tao and said with a smile, "Just wait and see what happens."

"Ah."

“In a little while, you can ask your colleagues what happened at the Jinmao Hotel,” Lin Yi said.

"it is good."

Yang Tao was also very curious. Lin Yi said it was one thing, but what direction would the Jinmao Hotel matter take?

……

the other side.

Jinmao Hotel, General Manager's Office.

As a businessman and the hotel's general manager, he has always prioritized the hotel's interests.

He went to Yang Tao and said those words to save face for her, but Yang Tao didn't appreciate it and scolded him.

That's fine, since he was indeed in the wrong and had nothing to do with it.

After Yang Tao left, she actually had her boyfriend threaten her?

Who is he? He is the general manager of the Jinmao Hotel. He's a well-known figure in Shanghai.

Does he really think that having a little money will make him bow down and admit his mistakes?

wrong!

He could bow down to those rich people, but Yang Tao's boyfriend, Lin Yi, was not one of them.

However, Lin Yi's threatening words still infuriated him quite a bit.

What the hell? Why would he be afraid of a young man?

"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the knocking was very urgent.

"Enter."

Before the other person could even speak after entering, Manager Zhou berated him.

"Knocking on the door so urgently, don't you know the rules? Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened," Manager Zhou said.

The waiter was stunned by the scolding.

"What are you standing there for? Say what you need to say," Manager Zhou said.

"General Manager, something really has happened," the waiter said in a panic.

"What's the rush? What could possibly go wrong?" Manager Zhou said calmly.

"It seems there's been an incident with the food prepared in the kitchen. Two people have been poisoned, and one elderly person has gone into shock," the waiter said.

"what?"

Manager Zhou was astonished upon hearing this and immediately stood up: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and call 120!"

“I asked the family members of the people who had already been treated but suffered food poisoning, and they started making a scene, demanding that our hotel give them an explanation.”

Manager Zhou said, "Let's calm them down first."

"No, they're all quite emotional."

Moreover, seeing the severity of the food poisoning, they thought the person was going to die, so they put up a banner outside the hotel saying... that our hotel was disregarding human life.

They were outside the hotel, crying and shouting.

Manager Zhou couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly and said anxiously, "Quick, get the security guards to stop them! If this gets out of hand, we're all finished!"

"Yes!"

Manager Zhou's order had just been issued not long ago.

At that moment, another waiter rushed in anxiously.

"Something's happened again?" Manager Zhou asked instinctively.

"Yes, General Manager, something's happened. Our security guards were just about to stop the family members when reporters came out and accused us of assaulting them," the waiter said.

Before Manager Zhou could speak, another person rushed in.

"General Manager, something's happened. The fire brigade, the health department... they've all arrived."

Even though they were in Dragon's Room, cold sweat kept seeping from Manager Zhou's forehead.

How could it be so fast?

Even if something happened, it shouldn't have happened this quickly, right?

Before he could think any further, another waiter rushed in.

"Manager, something's happened. The fire brigade just arrived and the kitchen caught fire. Although the fire wasn't big and was quickly extinguished, the firefighters think our hotel has safety hazards and want us to rectify them immediately."

"..."

After listening, Manager Zhou immediately sat down in his chair.

Hearing about the series of sudden events, even a pig sitting in his position would know that the hotel had been sabotaged.

First, someone suffered food poisoning, and then their family members went and hung up a banner saying that the hotel was disregarding human life.

He had just asked the security guards to stop them when the reporters arrived.

At the same time, people from multiple departments, including the fire department and the health bureau, arrived and found some problems.

These problems may not be very big, but they just happen when these departments are involved.

Is there such a coincidence?

Damn it, before he could even react, all of them had arrived.

If someone hadn't been deliberately targeting them, he wouldn't even have the surname Zhou.

Who exactly is behind this?

At that moment, Manager Zhou naturally thought of one person's voice.

"Very good, I like your unruly nature."

It's Lin Yi!

It must be Lin Yi!

Manager Zhou couldn't believe that he had offended someone and was being retaliated against so soon after.

This timing, this speed...

This guy is really blaming every little thing.

And even though he found out, they didn't care at all; they practically pointed their fingers at him and said, "I'm after you."

For a moment, Manager Zhou was extremely flustered.

"Manager, those people from those departments, have our hotel manager come down and immediately accept the rectification," the waiter said.

"I see."

Manager Zhou didn't dare to think any further and quickly went downstairs to deal with these trivial matters.

"Jinmao Hotel has multiple problems, including hygiene issues and safety hazards. Starting today, it is required to rectify these issues within a specified period of half a month."

Half a month of rectification?

When Manager Zhou heard this, he almost fell to the ground. You have to understand, it's summer now, the peak tourist season. How much money would be lost if the rectification took half a month?

Furthermore, even after half a month of rectification, if any unexpected problems arise again, it's still uncertain whether the store can reopen.

After this incident, the big bosses and shareholders must have heard the news. His time as general manager is over.

Thinking about this, Manager Zhou felt extremely flustered.
