Chapter 774
was sanctioned.
Deng Wei was furious. How could Junxiao Plaza have "sponsored" him?
He pointed to himself: "Do you recognize me? I used to work in the investment promotion department for this project..."
"I know you—" the security guard replied "politely."
Deng Weigang wanted to say, "If you know me, why are you stopping me?"
The security guard said, "We all have your photos, otherwise how would we have recognized you as an 'unwelcome person'?"
What the hell!
Deng Wei was furious. "I'm calling your boss—"
The security manager was someone he knew fairly well before. Normally, he wouldn't be willing to ask for favors for this, but today he came on a mission from General Manager Chang: to give Boss Chang and Wu Hao's daughter each a limited-edition "Sa Mo" dress.
If this doesn't work out, I'll definitely get a beating when I get back!
Deng Wei thought that he could always ask his old colleagues for leniency.
I dialed the number, and it was answered shortly after.
"Hey, Lao Li!"
"Deng Wei?"
Just as Deng Wei was about to tell his old colleague why he wanted to see him, Lao Li said, "Deng Wei, you're doing really well these days!"
Huh? After I left, did Old Li and the others keep an eye on me?
He smiled, feigning modesty, "It's alright, just a vice general manager at a small company. The pay isn't much, but it's easy! Oh, if you're interested, you can come and develop your career here sometime!"
"No, no—", Old Li was startled. He was being told to leave Junxiao Business Management, which offered such great benefits. How could Deng Wei be so insidious?
"Hmph, if that's how it is, don't blame me." "Deng Wei, you misunderstood. I didn't mean it when I said you're awesome."
Ga?
Deng Wei was taken aback: "Then what do you mean?"
Old Li laughed heartily: "I mean, you're really something now, being listed as an 'unwelcome target' by both Junxiao Hotel Management Group and Junxiao Commercial Management. You've made history."
Damn it, so you weren't praising me, you were mocking me?
If he hadn't needed his help, Deng Wei would definitely have started cursing and severed ties with Lao Li!
He suppressed his anger: "Old Li, stop making fun of me. We're friends. Just tell the security guard at the gate to let me in for a bit. I'll go in and buy a couple of clothes and then come right back out."
Old Li chuckled. Friend? Back when Deng Wei was in the company's investment promotion department, he looked down on someone like me from the security department.
For a period of time, there were rumors that he was going to be promoted to investment manager, and he became even more arrogant, treating me like a leader to a subordinate every time we talked.
Unfortunately, Lin Ping was later parachuted in, leaving him disappointed and disgraced as he left the company.
Old Li looked down on this guy from the bottom of his heart. If it were something trivial, he might consider helping him.
But in this matter today, not even his own brother would dare to help, let alone people like Deng Wei.
Unless he doesn't want to work at Junxiao Commercial Management anymore, which is the will of the group, who dares to disobey?
"Deng Wei, I can't help you with this," Old Li said honestly.
Upon hearing this, Deng Wei immediately flew into a rage. "Old Li, we've been colleagues, how can you be so heartless? I went in quietly and came out quietly, making sure no one knew, and you won't even help me?"
Old Li sneered, "You guarantee it? What guarantee do you have? If something goes wrong, can you plead with the company to keep me here or what?"
Furthermore, Junxiao Plaza is currently collaborating with Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group and has invested heavily in intelligent operations. It's fair to say that their intelligent recognition technology is far ahead of the competition (and even their competitors rarely use this technology). The moment Deng Wei enters the plaza, all relevant personnel will receive a notification. If I let you in, wouldn't I be courting death?
Seeing that Lao Li still refused to let him in, Deng Wei said angrily, "Fine, Lao Li, I won't make things difficult for you. How about you arrange for the security guards to go to the [Sa Mo] store and buy two limited edition dresses?"
"no--"
"Damn it, you're not even willing to help with this? It's just a small favor, and it's your subordinate running errands, you don't even need to do anything." Deng Wei's voice suddenly rose, like a rooster crowing.
"Old Deng, don't misunderstand."
Deng Wei snorted: "Then what do you mean?"
The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I saw the notice that you've been collectively listed as an 'unwelcome guest' by Junxiao Commercial Management, Junxiao Hotel Management Group, Yinuo Group, and Jiexun Sports Group. Apparently, more companies are going to follow suit."
"Holy crap!" Deng Wei's eyes widened. "I'm already restricted by the hotel and Junxiao Plaza, but why are several clothing stores also barring me? What's going on? Are they trying to use extraterritorial jurisdiction like America?"
What have I done to deserve this punishment?
"Old Li, you have to help me! Have someone buy me two items. I just won't go in!"
"Old Deng, you should find someone else. The people at Junxiao Commercial Management definitely won't help you; they all need to make a living here."
Oh shit--
Deng Wei swore. It was already evening, and Boss Chang was still waiting for him. In such a short time, who could he ask to buy it for him?
"Oh, by the way, Lao Deng, I remember you said you liked Junxing Motors before. Unfortunately, Junxing Motors has also included you in their list."
The rest is unnecessary; Deng Weiquan understands.
It seems that if I buy a Junxing car in the future, I'll only be able to buy a used one.
Lin Ping, Lin Ping, who exactly are you? How could this matter have such a huge impact?
Even if Deng Wei was completely brainless, he understood that the power of the stunningly beautiful woman he met at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel was terrifying. With just one sentence, she had completely blacklisted him from several of Junxiao Group's business entities.
Need I say more about her identity? She must wield immense influence within the Junxiao Group.
"Oh no!" Deng Wei's expression changed drastically!
It wasn't that he liked the Junxing car, but rather that his blind date liked it; her condition was that she wanted a Junxing M7.
But now? He couldn't very well put the car in the other person's name, and Deng Wei was reluctant to do so. Buying a used car? The other person wouldn't agree to that either. What if they asked him later, "If I were a used car, would you still buy it?" Wouldn't he be dumbfounded?
Realizing this, Deng Wei panicked. But Old Li continued to rub salt into the wound: "Oh, Old Deng, I misspoke—"
wrong?
Deng Wei felt relieved, thinking there might be a turning point.
"I forgot to mention, Junxiao Supermarket is also included, they've included you too."
Deng Wei's vision went black.
Oh no! My family gave me a lot of financial assistance, and the house I just bought for my wedding was not far from the Junxiao Plaza No. 3 store. I thought the area was bustling with businesses and convenient for living. But now, I can't shop at Junxiao Plaza anymore, and I can't even enter the Junxiao Supermarket.
If I don't go to the former, that's fine, but the latter has a lot of good quality and cheap daily necessities. If I can't get in, then I've wasted my money buying the house.
"However, Deng Wei, don't worry. Even if you can't go in, your family can still come."
This attempt at comfort had absolutely no effect. Should I send my family to buy it? Thinking about my partner's temper, was I really going to let her be a housewife?
Deng Wei, having ended his call with Lao Li sometime earlier, stood in a daze on the outer plaza of Junxiao Square. He only snapped out of his reverie when his phone rang.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was indeed a call from General Manager Chang.
"Deng Wei, what the hell have you been up to? You went to buy two outfits, why aren't you back yet?"
President Chang was furious. He had planned to give his second uncle and Wu Hao some small gifts. He had assigned Vice President Deng Wei to handle such an important matter, but Deng Wei hadn't returned yet. His own banquet was almost over.
He yelled at Deng Wei, and before hanging up the phone, he said to Boss Chang and Wu Hao, who were standing next to him, "This old Deng is really useless. He can't even handle a small matter."
This is to explain to Boss Chang and Wu Hao that his intentions are genuine, but the problem lies with the incompetence of his subordinates!
Wu Hao didn't want to accept his gift in the first place, and said, "President Chang, there's no need to trouble yourself. My daughter usually wears jeans and rarely wears skirts."
President Chang sighed and said, "That won't do. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
Hearing their conversation, Deng Wei was almost in tears. "Mr. Wu has already said he doesn't want it anymore, can't you just take the easy way out?"
"Deng Wei, how long will it take you to get back?" President Chang asked again.
"Boss, I can go back right now, but—"
Mr. Chang thought Deng Wei was such an idiot; he went out on business and should have come back sooner.
"Then hurry back! But what is it?"
Deng Wei cried out, "Boss, Junxiao Business Management has also added me to their 'unpopular people' list!"
General Manager Chang was stunned: "Holy crap—"
After a long pause: "Your mother—"
Isn't this making me look bad? My second uncle's situation is a little better, but what about Wu Hao's?
They kept saying no, but I kept saying I'd give it to them. Now that I'm not giving it to them, they might think I did it on purpose.
I checked the time; it was almost 9 p.m., and it was too late to send someone else to buy it.
He put down the phone, his face extremely grim: "Mr. Wu, my subordinate has been listed as an 'unwelcome subject' by Junxiao Commercial Management, so he can't get into any of Junxiao Commercial Management's projects."
Wu Hao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, I understand, I understand. There's really no need to go to that trouble!"
He thought to himself, "I already said no, and you're still making up such a lame excuse!"
Boss Chang, however, knew the truth and frowned upon hearing this.
"How could it be so serious?"
The Junxiao Hotel did this before, and now the Junxiao Plaza is doing it too. This shows that it's no longer just a hotel project issue, but has escalated to the level of the Junxiao Group.
This is tricky! Boss Chang originally wanted to try to find connections and contact the hotel's higher-ups to put in a good word. Damn it, now they've gone all the way up to Junxiao Group, and he doesn't think he's at that level.
Junxiao Group is a place where bigwigs from Hanjiang often go to exchange ideas and conduct research. Who do I think I am?
He exchanged a glance with General Manager Chang, both of them looking somewhat grave. Deng Wei had only had a verbal altercation with an employee of [Lifan Commercial Management], surely that wouldn't have angered the higher-ups? Could it be that Lin Ping's identity is not simple?
"Mr. Wu, what did they say over there?"
Boss Chang was naturally asking about going upstairs to offer toasts.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hao's phone started buzzing as if it were telepathically connected to him.
Wu Hao picked it up and was overjoyed. He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "He agreed!"
Judging from his expression, he seemed as honored as if he had won the Nobel Prize.
The reason Lin Jian took so long to reply to Wu Hao in the upstairs private room was that he was having dinner with Chen Xiao that night, and he had turned off his phone and put it on silent early in the morning.
If it weren't for the fact that I just glanced at my phone and saw Wu Hao's messages, I wouldn't have seen any messages from him tonight.
Upon seeing Wu Hao's message, he frowned slightly. Lin Ya, noticing this keenly, asked, "Dad, is something wrong?"
Lin Jian then explained that the general manager of [Lake and Sea Gathering] was having dinner here and, knowing that he was here, wanted to come over and offer a toast.
"With him are our competitors this time, and Boss Chang from the High-tech Zone—"
Boss Chang?
Lin Ya had some recollection of him; he seemed to have participated in a recent symposium with Jiangzhou and the High-tech Zone.
As Lin Jian spoke, he looked at Chen Xiao, indicating that everything should be based on Chen Xiao's opinion!
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Let them come up. I heard from Xiaoya that the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project supported [Lifan Commercial Management] this time, and we should express our gratitude as well."
Lin Jian was thrilled, knowing his son-in-law was completely standing up for him. His son-in-law was thanking him? Could Wu Hao accept that?
"And also, Mr. Chang from the High-tech Zone. The Junxiao dormitory building we're about to build will also benefit from the High-tech Zone providing such a good plot of land—"
Therefore, Lin Jian replied to Wu Hao, agreeing to let them come over to offer a toast.
Lin Ya waved to the outside, and one of her personal guards, a clever-looking young girl, hurriedly came over.
He gave her a few instructions, telling her to pass on the message. Otherwise, Wu Hao and his group wouldn't even be able to get into the private room.
Wu Hao led Boss Chang and General Manager Chang upstairs in the elevator.
On the way, Boss Chang asked General Manager Chang for information about the other party.
Mr. Chang said in a low voice, "I eliminated them from the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project this time, and they might hold a grudge against me. However, since you personally intervened, Uncle, they certainly won't dare to disrespect me."
By the way, Deng Wei's incident today was also caused by them. If you have a chance later, could you ask them to settle things peacefully?
"Don't you dare refuse?" Boss Chang was a little doubtful. Did he really have that much influence?
However, he nodded nonetheless: "Well, we'll see how things go later. I'll speak up!"
Listening to the uncle and nephew's conversation, Wu Hao considered reminding them several times, but then decided against it. What could he say? Should he tell them that the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project wasn't about them eliminating others, but rather about them being eliminated by others?
As the group arrived at the door of the private room, Boss Chang's expression suddenly turned serious. Why were there so many young girls guarding the door? Quite a show of force!
Normally, bringing bodyguards is already a bit excessive. If it's female bodyguards, it's even more excessive. What if it's a whole group of female bodyguards? He couldn't understand who the Lin family members in the private room were, to warrant such a large entourage.
【Lifan Commercial Management】 is just a medium-sized commercial management company, and it didn't catch Boss Chang's eye.
President Chang took the initiative, knocking loudly on the door before pushing it open and entering: "President Lin, the leaders from our High-tech Zone have come to offer a toast—" (End of Chapter)
