Chapter 265 Intending to use coercion and enticement
The manager looked at them with a mocking expression, while the group of waiters behind him boldly began to demand compensation for emotional distress.
After all, they had already received word on their first day of job hunting that their boss was no ordinary person, so they were not afraid of trouble.
If it were someone else, they might have been genuinely frightened by the scene before them, but unfortunately, they've run into a brick wall this time.
Song Qianyi coldly glanced at everyone present, and the chattering crowd immediately fell silent.
"What's the rush? There are still surveillance cameras to investigate. Pull up the footage from outside my room and see if anyone knew about the search beforehand and put their things back."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions, especially two of them.
Song Qianyi was not surprised at all by the change of manager; it was as if she had expected it. On the contrary, one of the waiters in the crowd couldn't hide the guilty look on his face.
But it was fate; this person was the same waiter who was late earlier.
"Isn't it unnecessary to make this so complicated? We've already called them here for a body search, what more do you want?"
The manager stammered, trying to brush the matter off, but it was clear that Song Qianyi had no intention of letting it go.
"The way you're making excuses makes me think you were involved in this too."
Song Qianyi covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had accidentally spoken out someone's secret.
The manager's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to call his bodyguards over to coerce and bribe them into giving up the investigation, he saw Ji Jingshen's bodyguards make a move and surround him before anyone could react.
It's obvious they've been brought under control.
"What do you mean?"
The manager suddenly had a bad feeling.
Originally, Zhou Mei had planned to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet at the resort, but she never expected to encounter such an inconsiderate manager. Enraged, Ji Jingshen immediately called his friend.
When the manager heard that familiar voice coming from the phone, he froze on the spot, his mind filled with only two words: It's over.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I'm late."
The friend dropped everything and rushed over the moment he received the call. After apologizing to Ji Jingshen and the other man, he turned his anger on the manager.
"I entrusted this resort to you, is this how you run it? You treat guests so rudely. And this is only the opening day. Are you going to fire me after this has gone on for a while?"
"It's one thing to not let us look for lost items, but you also want to use force to make this a trivial matter? Who gave you the right to act like this in my name?"
Fortunately, this incident was discovered in front of friends, so he only lost face and didn't suffer any major losses. Otherwise, if a serious mistake had been made, he would have had nowhere to turn to cry.
The manager kept bowing and scraping, admitting his mistakes, completely losing his previous arrogance, while Xue Jianchen, standing to the side, directly mocked him.
"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Show me what you've got. Didn't you call us poor? Didn't you say you had a boss and no one could mess with you? Why aren't you so arrogant now?"
I thought he was the boss, someone really powerful. Turns out he's just an heir from an ordinary family, and he dares to compare himself to Brother Ji.
"Go and pull up the surveillance footage immediately. Make sure you find that earring."
He had been meekly admitting his mistakes, but for a moment his body stiffened, and he stammered:
"President, our surveillance cameras are broken, and this lady says she left her things at our resort, but there's no evidence to prove she brought them there."
Let's just let this matter pass.
He hadn't thought it was anything important, and he didn't believe Song Qianyi's claim about the antique being worth hundreds of millions at all, taking it as just a bluff.
Making a big fuss about this wouldn't do their resort any good. He thought his suggestion would get the boss's approval, but to his surprise, the other party's face darkened even more.
"If you want to die, go out and find a place to lie down properly, don't drag me into it."
Is Ji Jingshen someone to be trifled with? Besides, with his wealth and status, how could he possibly be interested in such a small resort? Not to mention, those antique earrings might just be a toy to him.
However, thinking about what the manager said about the surveillance being broken, he narrowed his eyes, not believing it at all.
"I remember that the surveillance cameras here were specially imported from abroad and installed under my personal supervision. How could they break down so quickly? You're lying!"
The man spoke coldly, looking at the sweating manager, and immediately ordered his secretary to retrieve the surveillance footage from that day.
Your uncle returned shortly after he left, but his face looked terrible. After scanning the staff downstairs, he purposefully walked up to a short waiter and forcefully pulled him out.
If it weren't for what happened today, he would still be enjoying his vacation at home. Anyone who ruins someone else's vacation is unforgivable, especially someone like him who works six days a week and only gets one day off.
"It was this woman who did the president's dirty work. He did take some valuable jewelry from the guests' suitcases at first, but when he heard that someone was going to call the police to search them, he found a way to put the items back in their original places."
After confirming that no one had slipped through the net, the friend dismissed the other staff, as the resort needed to continue operating. Only a few people remained in the living room.
"I am very sorry for the trouble this has caused you because I failed to discipline my children properly."
The friend apologized to Song Qianyi and her friend with a guilty look on his face, and also gave them a considerable amount of compensation.
It might not seem like much to Ji Jingshen, but it was the greatest benefit he could achieve within his capabilities. Because Ji Jingshen knew this, he didn't continue to make things difficult for him.
only……
When did your eyesight become so bad?
Speaking of her boyfriend, her expression turned somewhat bitter. She gave a helpless smile and explained:
"Actually, I didn't want to either, but he's a distant relative who recently encountered some difficulties and came to us for help. My mother is getting old and felt sorry for him, so she arranged for him to stay here. As for the waitress, she's a mistress he found after he came here."
Ji Jingshen nodded and glanced at the two people who were still begging for mercy, then indifferently walked away from their sight.
