Rejuvenation Hotel was located northeast of Rejuvenation Square.
The Recovery Group had invested over ten billion in Jiang City, and Rejuvenation Hotel was one of their high-end, five-star properties.
Lin Jian had been at the hotel’s surface parking lot for half an hour.
Right now, his face was dark with annoyance.
Half an hour ago, Zhang Qiang had notified him to come here and manage the parking lot’s traffic flow.
At the time, he thought there would be a small toll booth, like the ones at train stations or airport parking lots, where he would just be responsible for collecting fees from incoming and outgoing vehicles.
After all, not all parking lots were entirely digital yet; some still accepted cash.
So, he assumed the gorgeous woman had given him a cushy job to look after him.
However, upon arriving, he discovered there was no toll booth at all.
There were no fees to collect, and the entry and exit were completely automated by barrier gates.
He was here purely to act as a traffic director for incoming cars.
It was the middle of summer, right at high noon.
The weather was so sweltering that just standing in the shade would leave someone drenched in sweat, let alone standing directly under the blazing sun.
This was retaliation—naked, blatant retaliation.
Lin Jian had been waiting for Ye Ziqiu to just fire him, but she refused to give the word.
Now she was torturing him in a roundabout way, trying to force him to resign of his own accord.
He really did want to just walk away, but his personality was too similar to Ye Ziqiu’s.
They were both incredibly competitive.
Since she wanted to use this method to torment him or force him out, he refused to leave.
Walking away would make him a deserter.
So, after baking in the sun for an entire afternoon, he finally survived his first shift.
Naturally, he wasn’t off the clock even when night fell.
He had to work a full twenty-four hours and wouldn’t be able to rest until early tomorrow morning, after which he would get the next twenty-four hours off.
It was a somewhat reasonable schedule.
Once the sun went down, Lin Jian felt much more comfortable.
He even managed to scrounge up a folding stool from somewhere and sat at the entrance to direct traffic.
When a car approached, he just verbally told them where to park without having to move an inch.
It was a breeze.
At eight o’clock in the evening, right after he finished a bowl of instant noodles, a black-and-white supercar pulled into the lot.
Lin Jian couldn’t see who was driving, so he waved for the driver to roll down the window.
The window rolled down, revealing a face that immediately disgusted Lin Jian.
The person was clearly just as surprised to see Lin Jian there.
“Oh my, if it isn’t…
Heh, President Ye didn’t take you home?
How come you’re still stuck here watching cars in a parking lot this late at night?
Tsk, tsk.”
The speaker was none other than that pretty boy from earlier in the day, Su Zhiwei.
Lin Jian rolled his eyes.
“There’s space further inside.
Find an empty spot yourself.
Don’t park haphazardly, or you might get towed.”
“Heh.” Su Zhiwei sneered coldly.
He rolled up his window and drove straight in.
However, once he found a spot, he didn’t turn off the engine, nor did he get out of the car.
Lin Jian was deeply curious.
What was this guy doing just sitting in his car?
Since the sports car was less than twenty meters away and he wanted to know what the pretty boy was up to, Lin Jian extended his Thought over to investigate. Read the latest chapters at g.com.
Inside the car, Su Zhiwei was on the phone.
“Long, he’s right at the Rejuvenation Hotel parking lot entrance, sitting on a folding stool.
He’s around twenty years old, about a meter eighty tall.
I forgot his name, but he’s the only one there.
Just make your move as soon as you arrive.
Don’t come too early, though; later is better.
“Right, right.
Fifty thousand after the job is done.
It’s nothing.
I trust you to get it done, Long.”
The two finished their conversation and hung up.
By now, Lin Jian’s face was completely dark.
This bastard was absolute scum.
He actually hired someone to deal with him?
And spent fifty thousand on it?
It was just a minor verbal spat.
Was it really worth dropping fifty grand to have him beaten up?
Fifty thousand was enough to buy a man’s leg.
With a darkened expression, Lin Jian’s mind began to race.
He was never one to take a loss lying down.
He had to teach this pretty boy, Su Zhiwei, a lesson.
Naturally, he couldn’t do it openly.
The guy was clearly a rich kid.
If Su Zhiwei caught any dirt on him, Lin Jian would definitely be sent away to make license plates for the foreseeable future.
So, he needed to think of another way—at the very least, a way to keep his own hands clean.
Just then, Su Zhiwei’s phone rang again.
Lin Jian pricked up his ears.
“Zhida, is it done?” Su Zhiwei lowered his voice.
“Don’t worry, San.
I guarantee there won’t be any issues.”
“And there’s no problem with that ‘Good Girl’ drug, right?
Don’t use too much.
Don’t kill her,” Su Zhiwei said anxiously.
Over the phone, Zhida replied, “I won’t.
Once she drinks it, she won’t know a thing.
It’s pretty wicked stuff.
She’ll be awake, but completely at your mercy.”
“She won’t remember me when she wakes up, right?
If she does, that little bitch will fight me to the death,” Su Zhiwei chuckled.
“Of course not.
She’ll just have a headache and won’t be able to recall what she did the day before.
Her memory will be a complete blank.
This has been proven by plenty of cases.
However…” Zhida paused, then continued hesitantly, “When she wakes up, she might not remember what happened, but her body will definitely notice something is off. This story is hosted at novelping.com.
What if she comes after me?”
“That doesn’t matter.
Just tell her she drank too much and you arranged a hotel suite for her.
She won’t know anything, so she can only suspect.
It’s not like she’ll go to the police!”
“Right, we’re betting on the fact that she wouldn’t dare call the cops.
But San, you’re really slacking.
You’ve been chasing her this long and still haven’t gotten her to give in?”
“That little bitch acts all high and mighty.
It pisses me off.
She even chewed me out over some stinking security guard today.
I’m going to go ten rounds with her tonight!”
“Hahaha, you’re really planning to empty the magazine, huh?
But hey, San, the omnidirectional cameras are already set up.
You gotta let me enjoy the show later, alright?”
“We’ll see.
If she really becomes your sister-in-law in the future, I can’t let you watch.
If she doesn’t, we can both…
Hehehe!”
“Got it, it’s a deal.
I’m upstairs, and she’ll be here any minute!”
“Alright, hanging up for now.”
They finished talking and ended the call.
By now, Lin Jian was shocked to the core.
This pretty boy, Su Zhiwei, and some guy named Zhida were conspiring to drug Ye Ziqiu.
They had even installed cameras, and the drug was the kind that rendered someone senseless.
These two bastards were utterly depraved!
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Just then, an Audi A6 pulled into the parking lot.
After honking three times, the driver voluntarily rolled down the window.
Lin Jian took a look.
Wasn’t this the gorgeous woman herself?
However, the beauty still wore a stern expression.
“Who told you to sit down?”
Lin Jian’s face darkened.
Was this gorgeous woman really pushing her luck?
If she kept this up, he would just keep his mouth shut about the plot to drug her.
But as he looked at her breathtakingly beautiful face, he couldn’t bear to follow through with it.
Forget it, he wouldn’t stoop to her level.
So, he put on a bitter face and said, “President Ye, I’ve been standing all afternoon.
My legs are giving out.
Security guards work twenty-four-hour shifts.
You can’t possibly expect me to stand for an entire day and night, can you?”
Ye Ziqiu was secretly thrilled.
Wasn’t he acting so tough before?
Now he finally knew how to plead.
Though she was delighted on the inside, she didn’t show it on her face.
Instead, she gave a slight nod and hummed a noncommittal note—neither agreeing nor disagreeing—before preparing to drive further in.
Lin Jian was amused by the gorgeous woman’s pretentious act, but he quickly called out, “President Ye, you—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Ziqiu’s phone suddenly rang.
She waved impatiently at Lin Jian, signaling him not to bother her.
Seeing her shoo him away like a fly, Lin Jian angrily turned around and sat right back down!
To hell with it.
Why should he care if she got gang-banged by eighty guys?
