Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 548 - 236: Like Rats Scurrying Across the Street (Part 4)

Secretary: "Okay, okay. I’ll report to Chairman Huang immediately."

Huang Wenkang was chatting over tea with Hultas James when the secretary hurriedly ran over.

"Chairman Huang, Mr. Yang said he disagrees with Huasheng investing in the Peninsula Hotel," the secretary said.

Huang Wenkang: "Why?"

Hultas James paused for a moment and quickly asked: "You’re talking about Mr. Yang, as in Yang Chen?"

The secretary nodded.

Hultas James felt a suffocating pressure in his chest and hurriedly punched his own chest.

"Fuck! Damn it! Fuck! Why is it him again! Why is he everywhere! Just how much property does he own?" Hultas James roared.

The secretary quickly pulled up a Douyin video for Huang Wenkang to watch.

After watching the video and seeing the commenters’ opinions, Huang Wenkang was instantly both shocked and furious.

Damn it, is this the caliber of the president of the Dragon Country District for an internationally renowned investment bank?

Even if he truly thinks this way in his heart, he shouldn’t be saying it publicly!

He’s treating Dragon Country people like they’re nothing!

The secretary whispered: "Mr. Yang says we can’t allow him to drag down our Peninsula Hotel. If consumers see it and mistakenly think we have a partnership, our business will definitely be hurt. Mr. Yang suggests we kick him out immediately and stay as far away as possible."

Huang Wenkang nodded and said: "Mr. Yang is absolutely right, this kind of plague must be kept away! Go call the security over."

The secretary nodded and quickly went to call security.

Huang Wenkang said sternly: "Mr. James, our Peninsula Hotel does not welcome people of poor character. Please leave with your people immediately. The secretary has already gone to call security. If you don’t cooperate and leave voluntarily, I’ll have to let security escort you out."

Hultas James: "You’re willing to throw away a renowned investment bank for Yang Chen?"

Huang Wenkang immediately corrected: "We aren’t discarding you because of Mr. Yang, we’re rejecting you because of 1.4 billion Dragon Country people. You look down on us from your core, why should we make money for you? Get out, leave now!"

Just then, the security came in aggressively.

Seeing things take a turn for the worse, Hultas James hurriedly led his people to flee in disgrace.

"Fuck! I hate Yang Chen! I despise him! I want to cut him into pieces and feed him to dogs! Fuck! Fuck!" Hultas James cursed angrily as he left.

Huang Wenkang immediately warned: "If you dare speak disrespectfully again, you better call for an ambulance to carry you out!"

Hultas James glanced back at Huang Wenkang, snorted coldly, and left.

Soon, they returned to the Peninsula Hotel.

The hotel manager directly led security to block them, not allowing them to enter the Peninsula Hotel.

Then, their luggage was sent out.

Hultas James was furious and shouted: "What are you doing? Are you expelling guests? Fuck! Someone come see, the Peninsula Hotel is kicking guests out! We didn’t do anything wrong, and they’re kicking us out for no reason!"

The hotel manager loudly declared: "For insulting Dragon Country people, we see one foreign trash and kick one out! Leave now!"

The onlooking guests immediately applauded.

"Well said!"

"Nicely done!"

"For this kind of foreign trash, we should unite against them, and give them no room to survive!"

"Everybody remember, if we don’t stand up to defend ourselves today, the reputation of Dragon Country women worldwide will be ruined! If this trash can earn money in our country, we’re all responsible!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out..."

...

Having suffered losses before, Hultas James didn’t dare be surrounded by angry crowds again, so he quickly turned to run, leaving even his suitcase behind.

Getting into the car, Hultas James vented on the car seat, constantly shouting profanities.

The others didn’t even dare get into the car, just stood outside waiting for him to finish venting before leaving.

The group returned to the Bvlgari Hotel to check-in.

Hultas James felt a bit tired and hurriedly took a nap.

After dinner, James called everyone to his room again to discuss what other projects could be invested in.

Around ten o’clock, the headquarters’ president called asking for progress updates.

Hultas didn’t dare tell the truth but also didn’t dare exaggerate.

"Report to President, our office rental is settled, the other side is clearing it out, and it’ll be renovated in a few days. Although the rent is a bit higher, we’ve established a good relationship with the building owner. Thanks to his introduction, we’re now exploring a few projects. After discussions and confirmations, I will promptly report to the President and headquarters," Hultas James replied.

At this moment, the president far away on Wall Street in the United States didn’t know the situation in Great Xia and believed it, praising: "James, you’ve done well. I hope you don’t let the company down and stabilize Huasheng’s presence in the Dragon Country Sea City soon. The company won’t forget your contributions, and you’ll be rewarded plenty in the future. The company’s intention is for you to formally operate within a week. I’d like to see your work report on Tuesday next week, is that okay?"

Hultas James: "Thank you, President, for your mentorship. I won’t disappoint you and the headquarters. I will send the work report before next Tuesday."

After hanging up the phone, Hultas James anxiously said to his subordinates: "You all heard it, the President personally called to ask about our progress. If we can’t confirm a profitable project within a week, we’re all finished! Find something for me now, no one leaves until we find an investment target!"

Everyone quickly utilized their networks to see if there were any good projects to invest in.

At this moment, the investment department manager Michelle Greg said: "Hultas, I just contacted my Harvard-era boyfriend Joe Smith. He’s currently the head of Zircon Investment in Great Xia. They’ve invested in the Haiyalantis Hotel, with excellent returns. Recently, the Haiyalantis Hotel’s Shanya branch plans to expand its yacht business, and both the Sea City and Shanya locations are undergoing full upgrades and need substantial funding. How about I talk to Joe and have him help us connect so we can try investing in Haiyalantis Hotel?"

Hultas James thought for a moment and eventually nodded.

Although it can’t compare to the multiple returns from participating in a listed company’s private placement, Haiyalantis, as a seven-star hotel, obviously has strong profitability.

A little less is a little less, it’s better than having no projects and being unable to answer to the headquarters.

"Damn Yang Chen, I refuse to believe you can sabotage my investment plan this time!" Hultas James muttered to himself.
