388: Completely defected

The next day, early morning.

There were quite a few reporters downstairs at the hotel, all waiting for the press conference later that day.

Su Yue walked to the window, looked down at the street below, and muttered to himself, "I hope nothing goes wrong."

In his eyes, if Yu Qing became their opponent, he believed this press conference would be quite troublesome.

Just a few minutes later, Su Yue walked downstairs alone and stood in front of them.

When they saw Su Yue approaching, they all pointed their cameras at him, their faces filled with excitement. "General Manager Su!"

The reporters originally thought the press conference would only involve Liu Long and Yu Qing, and none of them expected Su Yue to be there.

Su Yue greeted the reporters, pointed inside, and said, "Come in with us."

At the same time, he specifically looked around and noticed that Yu Qing was not there.

Afterward, Su Yue called Liu Long, wanting to ask where Yu Qing had gone.

When Liu Long heard that Su Yue was looking for Yu Qing, his face was filled with surprise. "I don't know. I didn't see him when I woke up this morning."

Originally, Muxin Hotel was holding an event, and Yu Qing should have stayed there. No one expected that Yu Qing wasn't there at all.

It wasn't until now that Su Yue concluded that it was very likely something had happened to Yu Qing.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of why Yu Qing wasn't coming out now, especially since Muxin Hotel was holding an event and the highest-ranking leader wasn't present.

Without Yu Qing, Liu Long could only come downstairs from upstairs as quickly as possible and stand in front of the reporters.

If the reporters felt they were being neglected, he believed they would give him quite a few surprises at the press conference.

Just as the reporters were being led into the conference room, Yu Qing walked in from the doorway, his face filled with panic. "Sorry, I'm late."

Seeing Yu Qing about to enter the conference room, Su Yue immediately blocked his path. "Liu Long will host this meeting. You come with me to the office."

He didn't say anything unnecessary to him and returned to the office alone.

Yu Qing felt that Su Yue must have started to suspect him, his face filled with nervousness, and he stood respectfully in front of Su Yue. "General Manager Su, my alarm didn't go off this morning, so I was late. I apologize."

Su Yue raised his hand and shook his head. "As the General Manager of the company, do you think I would believe these lies of yours? You'd better honestly tell me what you know."

Then, he mentioned the Secretary rummaging through the office drawer, wanting to see if the Secretary was instructed by Yu Qing.

In his eyes, the Secretary had already betrayed them once. If Yu Qing knew someone was rummaging through the drawer, it was very likely he would question the Secretary to clarify things.

Meanwhile, his face was calm, as if he completely trusted his Secretary.

Just from this, it was evident that Yu Qing and the Secretary must have reached some kind of cooperation.

When Yu Qing heard Su Yue's subtle hint, he shook his head with a helpless expression. "You're really thinking too much. I really don't have any such thoughts. It was just because my alarm didn't wake me up."

Originally, Su Yue intended to give Yu Qing some opportunities, but who knew he wasn't willing to cherish the opportunities he offered.

Since that was the case, he walked out of the office and looked back at Yu Qing. "You don't need to participate in the press conference. We'll discuss your matter later."

Anyway, Yu Qing didn't hold any company shares, so Su Yue could easily remove him.

Just a few minutes later, Su Yue arrived at the conference room.

Liu Long and Mu Ruguang held up the contract they had signed, which contained the specific details of their cooperation.

Many reporters took pictures of the contract's content, signifying that the two parties had reached a cooperative relationship.

Seeing that the reporters had captured the key information, Su Yue walked up from behind with a smile. "Did you all see? We've partnered with President Mu, Mu Ruguang."

The reporters heard Su Yue's voice and nodded one after another, offering congratulations. "Congratulations on strengthening your forces!"

It is well known that the weakest link for both hotels was the catering sector.

Now that Mu Ruguang had taken over all aspects of catering, it was equivalent to making the two hotels a solid block, covering the entire hotel industry without any problems.

Seeing them continuously complimenting him, Su Yue couldn't help but go to Mu Ruguang's side. "You should thank President Mu for his generosity. If President Mu hadn't forgiven our past, I wouldn't have been able to cooperate."

The two exchanged pleasantries on the stage, and no one could tell if the cooperation between them was genuine.

As the press conference concluded, Su Yue couldn't help but look at the time on his watch. "President Mu, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, your chefs must gather at our hotel."

Mu Ruguang looked at the time on his watch and readily agreed. "No problem. I'll arrange their transportation now. You can release the announcement now."

Having said that, he left immediately, as if he wanted to release the information as quickly as possible.

Su Yue watched Mu Ruguang leave, his brows slightly furrowed, and he had quite a few reservations in his heart.

Even now, he was unwilling to believe that Mu Ruguang was sincerely following him.

The most crucial point was that Yu Qing's unusual actions at such a time made him feel somewhat strange.

However, the press conference had already been held, and they had no reason to suppress the announcement.

Su Yue looked in Liu Long's direction and said, "General Manager Liu, release our announcement as soon as possible."

Liu Long understood Su Yue's meaning and readily agreed. "I'll have Yu Qing handle it right away."

When Su Yue heard that Liu Long planned to hand the matter over to Yu Qing, he quickly stopped him. "Yu Qing? Suspend his authority during this period. You will be fully responsible."

It was only then that Liu Long realized how serious the situation with Yu Qing was.

Normally, Su Yue would never easily suspend someone's authority. Now that he had suspended Yu Qing's authority, it could only mean he was going to deal with him.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Qing knew a lot of inside information about Muxin Hotel, Su Yue would have fired him just now. How could he wait until now?

About half an hour later, the notice was posted on the hotel's official website.

Many guests were willing to taste the chefs' skills in person and expressed their willingness to top up a portion of their annual cards.

As long as guests came, their performance would definitely increase significantly.

Unconsciously, a day quietly passed.

Su Yue was always worried that something might happen, so he stayed at the Muxin Hotel headquarters, as if waiting for the outcome.

He originally thought that there shouldn't be any problems at the branch, especially since Mu Ruguang had signed the contract in front of so many reporters.

However, he still overestimated Mu Ruguang's determination.

Just a few minutes after starting work, Muxin Hotel received many calls from the branches.

The chefs in their kitchens had deserted at the last minute, leaving all the invited guests stranded at the hotels.

If Su Yue didn't handle the guests' emotions well, they might lose a significant number of customers this time.

Liu Long rushed into Su Yue's room, his face full of anger. "General Manager Su, there's a problem with the chefs you found!"

Hearing Liu Long's angry shout, Su Yue said to him, "I've already received their calls. What are you shouting about?"

Seeing Su Yue's confident look, he took a deep breath. "What should we do? Those people are waiting for our information."

Su Yue pondered for a moment and chuckled. "If the enemy comes, we'll fight back; if the water comes, we'll build a dam. Let's have the reporters release the clip of us signing the contract."

First, clarify the responsibility, so that the guests know that the problem did not originate from the hotel.

Secondly, they need to appease the guests' emotions and make them understand that they did not intentionally trick them.

Su Yue sat in front of the computer, brought up all the branch information, and looked at Liu Long. "General Manager Liu, you call those branch managers now and have them give those people a free weekly card."

Anyone who came to the hotel and didn't get to eat could claim a weekly card at the front desk, which meant they could stay at the hotel for free for seven days.

Listening to Su Yue calmly explain the solution, Liu Long shook his head repeatedly. "Your minds are still clear. I was only thinking about how to find the mastermind."

Seeing Liu Long still hesitating about the mastermind, Su Yue slammed his hand on the table. "No more nonsense. Get it done as soon as possible!"

Liu Long readily agreed and immediately walked out, as if he wanted to arrange the matter for the managers below as quickly as possible.

Afterward, Su Yue went to Yu Qing's office.

At this time, Yu Qing was sitting inside with a serious expression, as if he had known such a thing would happen long ago.

Su Yue sat across from the desk and sneered. "Tell me, what's going on? I think you knew about this a long time ago."

When Yu Qing heard that Su Yue had already seen through him, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and simply gave up on the act.

He walked up to Su Yue. "You kept delaying giving me shares, and they were willing to give me dry shares. Why wouldn't I work for them? It's all your fault for being too greedy, you know?"

In his eyes, only things in his own pocket were real money.

However, Su Yue only drew him a picture and didn't give him any actual shares.

Su Yue looked at Yu Qing's resentful face and sighed helplessly. "You're still too impatient. Is the person behind you surnamed Wang?"

In his opinion, Liu Sheng couldn't have come up with such an idea.

Moreover, Huasheng Hotel was struggling to survive and had no way to deal with other hotels.

On the contrary, Wang Pai had the time, as their arch-enemy had always been Far View (Yuantu) Investment.

As long as they could cause trouble for Far View (Yuantu) Investment, they would be willing to contribute some strength.

When Yu Qing heard Su Yue pinpoint the person behind him, he burst into laughter. "General Manager Su, don't inquire anymore. My resignation letter is already on the table."

He pushed the resignation letter towards Su Yue, as if he was unwilling to continue working here.

Su Yue glanced at Yu Qing, sneered, and shrugged indifferently. "I've given you a chance, but unfortunately, you weren't willing to take it, so you can't blame me."

Since Yu Qing's biggest hope was the shares of Huasheng Hotel, why wouldn't Su Yue hit Huasheng Hotel to the bottom?

Even if he had a large percentage of shares, it wouldn't make much difference if the stock price didn't go up.

Just a few minutes later, Su Yue called Liu Sheng. "Are you free? Shall we meet? You won't lose anything."

Wang Pai had already come forward to deal with the two hotels, so he believed his relationship with Liu Sheng had already soured.

If Su Yue could use this time to win over Huasheng Hotel, he believed Yu Qing would definitely have to come back and apologize.

When Liu Sheng heard that Su Yue intended to meet him, he frowned slightly. "The coffee shop opposite Far View (Yuantu) Investment. I'll wait for you."

They didn't talk much on the phone and arrived at the coffee shop as quickly as possible.

Su Yue sat in front of Liu Sheng and chuckled. "I guess you already know about the trouble at Muxin Hotel?"

Liu Sheng saw Su Yue bring up the trouble at Muxin Hotel but didn't take his words to heart at all.

Strictly speaking, the two of them were not friends at all.

Seeing that Liu Sheng was not responding, Su Yue continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Wang Pai must have given a lot of shares to Yu Qing. Do you think you can tolerate that?"

Originally, the two sides should have been in a hostile relationship. Now that Wang Pai had placed Yu Qing in Huasheng Hotel and given him a lot of shares and power, Liu Sheng was naturally being underestimated.

Before Liu Sheng could respond, Su Yue continued, "If Wang Pai one day promotes Yu Qing to your position, have you considered your future?"

He had clearly done so much for Wang Pai but had not been given important responsibilities. This matter was inherently unfair.

After his ideological offensive, Liu Sheng couldn't help but say to Su Yue, "General Manager Su, tell me, what is it you want to see me about this time? If I'm interested, I'd be willing to talk."

Su Yue didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I hope you can help me. In the future, the shares of Huasheng Hotel will be controlled by you alone."

When he heard that Su Yue was willing to help him regain control of the hotel, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Originally, the two had always been enemies, and no one expected their relationship to change so quickly.

Su Yue didn't say much more to him and placed his business card on the table. "I don't need you to make a decision so quickly. If you agree, you can call me anytime."

Liu Sheng looked at the business card on the table and shook his head. "I don't need to consider. As long as you have the ability to help me get back my shares, I'm willing to bring Huasheng Hotel to completely rely on you, and... I want to change the name."

At this point, Liu Sheng was practically gritting his teeth.

He had never thought that Wang Pai was the kind of person who would abandon his tools after the job was done, leaving him with no way out.

If it weren't for Su Yue coming to him for help, he believed he would eventually have his authority suspended by Wang Pai and be kicked out of the company.
