47: It's a great honor for her to be able to mop the floor here

"What? You're not used to your own family's business anymore?" Wang Chao teased.

Although the Wang family only had him as a son, they didn't have the mindset that all family assets should be passed down to the son. According to Ye Lin's maternal grandfather's idea, Ye Lin's mother should even receive more.

As for Wang Chao, as a man, he could start his own business and make money.

So, Wang Chao was also a child who felt neglected by his parents at home. Coupled with his older sister's bloodline suppression, he could only hang out with Ye Lin.

There were many people coming and going in the lobby, all elegantly dressed elites, hurrying along, with no one stopping.

Therefore, in this world, to gain something, one naturally has to give something.

However, rich second-generation heirs like Ye Lin and Wang Chao didn't need to.

"You don't understand. It's just that sometimes I feel there's more than one world, and some people will never interact with people from another world in their entire lives."

"Everyone seems to live in two worlds that have no intersection with each other, but they are actually very close," Ye Lin said thoughtfully.

Wang Chao was completely confused, "You say you're a police officer, but you sound like a philosopher."

"This is called life's insights. What do you, a rich second-generation heir, understand?"

"Aren't you a rich second-generation heir? Oh, right, you're a rich third-generation heir!"

... The two childish men started bickering in the lobby.

"Can you even do this properly? You can't even do a simple job like cleaning the lobby, what else can you do?"

"Look at you, you're not efficient, you have tattoos, and who knows what you used to do."

"I don't know why HR even hired you."

A few scolding voices came from the other end of the lobby, drawing everyone's attention. It was a person dressed as a Manager, reprimanding a small, thin girl.

Ye Lin glanced over, his brows suddenly furrowing, and he walked over with a stern face.

"What happened that requires scolding a young girl like this?" Ye Lin said to the woman dressed as the lobby Manager.

"Hello, guest. I am the lobby Manager of Yuehao Hotel. My surname is Gu. May I ask what you need?" Manager Gu's face was plastered with a smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Just by looking at Ye Lin's attire, it wasn't even casual wear; it was just a set of ordinary street vendor clothes.

People like him, she figured, were either here for a hotel meeting, a wedding banquet, or perhaps just to deliver something. She only needed to maintain basic courtesy.

As for providing sincere service, she apologized, she couldn't do it.

"Manager Gu, right? Let me ask you, what did this young girl do wrong?" Ye Lin pointed at the thin, small figure being reprimanded.

This was Jiang Waner. Ye Lin recognized her with just one glance. She was small, holding a large mop, and diligently mopping the floor.

In Ye Lin's opinion, Jiang Waner was already working very hard, and she shouldn't be reprimanded, let alone subjected to personal attacks.

Also, and more importantly, Jiang Waner was hired through his connections. Now she was mopping the floor. Wasn't that a slap in his face?

Moreover, she was being scolded for mopping. Ye Lin felt that it wasn't Jiang Waner being scolded, but himself.

That's why he walked over in anger.

However, Manager Gu was clearly an old hand. In response to Ye Lin's questioning, she still spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This guest, I am the lobby Manager and am responsible for managing the cleanliness of the lobby. If she doesn't clean well, it's perfectly fine for me to educate her."

"May I ask if the guest has anything else?"

Although her tone was gentle, her face was full of impatience.

Wang Chao, who was behind, was about to speak but was stopped by Ye Lin raising his hand.

"No matter whether she cleans well or not, it's not your place to scold her. What right do you have to scold her!" Ye Lin retorted domineeringly.

Manager Gu's expression changed, "This guest, if you're here to spend money, we welcome you, but in terms of management, our hotel has its own rules, and it's not your place to tell us what to do."

"Looking at you, you must be her friend, right? Let me be clear, for someone like her, being able to mop the floor at our Yuehao is already a privilege. Don't cause her to lose even this mopping job."

Manager Gu said with her arms crossed and a look of disdain.

Now she wasn't pretending anymore. A poor nobody, trying to lecture her.

"Are you threatening me?" Ye Lin said coldly.

"Brother Ye, maybe we should just let it go. It's my fault for not doing well," Jiang Waner pleaded, looking at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin looked at her, and she exuded a sense of exhaustion, "Why do you look so tired? How is Xiaosheng's leg?"

At the mention of her younger brother, Jiang Waner's face broke into a smile, "Xiaosheng's leg is recovering very well. He said it's very itchy every day now, and I heard people say that means it's healing."

"If it's so good, why are you so tired?" Ye Lin asked, puzzled.

Jiang Waner glanced at Manager Gu beside her and didn't dare to speak.

Ye Lin instantly understood, and his gaze towards Manager Gu became sharp, "Did you assign her a lot of work, making her so tired?"

Manager Gu sneered, glancing at Ye Lin, "You're her friend, right? If you don't have the ability, don't step forward. It'll be ugly if you can't back down in the end."

"You, a mere lobby Manager, dare to be so arrogant?" Ye Lin's face grew increasingly grim.

"Brother Ye, let it go. Manager Gu's cousin is the hotel's Vice President, and he has a lot of power," Jiang Waner quickly pulled Ye Lin, seeing that the two were about to clash, and quietly explained Manager Gu's background.

"Also, Brother Ye, I'm very satisfied to be able to mop the floor here. At least it's a stable job, and I have to thank you for helping me. Working a little more, being a little tired, it's fine for me."

"You see? She herself is willing to do more. What business is it of yours?" Manager Gu scoffed.

With that, Manager Gu abruptly pulled Jiang Waner closer and loudly reprimanded, "Aren't you going to work? Waiting for this useless person to support you?"

"Useless person? Do you know who is in front of you?" Wang Chao also got angry and jumped out, shouting.

"Who?" Manager Gu rolled her eyes at Wang Chao, "Another useless person like you, who else?"

"You..." Wang Chao was momentarily speechless by her words, trembling with anger.

Manager Gu looked at the two triumphantly, then pushed Jiang Waner again, "Hurry up, after you finish mopping, the kitchen is waiting for you to wash dishes with them."

Ye Lin was enraged. She had dared to lay hands on someone right in front of him, so he wouldn't be polite.

He grabbed Manager Gu and slapped her with his right hand.

"Pa!" A crisp sound.

Manager Gu spun around from the blow and fell to the ground.

Her left cheek instantly swelled up.

She sat on the ground, stunned for a moment, not expecting Ye Lin to actually dare to hit her, "You... you dared to hit me?"

Wang Chao chuckled, "There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do. You, ah, you got hit for nothing."

"Dream on! You hit me and think you can run? You two just wait!" Manager Gu cursed, pointing at them.
