The manager's forehead began to sweat. This was not the first time he had met a customer who made things difficult for him, but he had never met a Chinese customer like Jiang Cheng. They even knew about the existence of the Consumer Association. They were used to being rich and generally wouldn't care about such a small benefit.
The manager said awkwardly, "Sir, how about this? This time, all your expenses in this hotel will be free of charge, and we will give you a 20% discount next time you come. What do you think?"
In fact, Jiang Cheng knew that this was not all the hotel's responsibility. It was all Liu Yuande's doing. However, the security of the hotel still gave Liu Yuande's people a loophole. They could even rush in and pretend to be waiters, which meant that there was still a big loophole in the hotel's security service. The hotel still had some responsibility in this regard.
Since he had extorted some benefits, Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't continue to be aggressive. After sending the manager away, Jiang Cheng picked up the silver tableware and began to eat.
After the manager left, Liu Zuiqing, who was sitting opposite to Jiang Cheng, couldn't help laughing at Jiang Cheng and saying, "You're a big boss with hundreds of millions of dollars, but you still care about a few tens of thousands of dollars. I really don't understand what you're thinking."
Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "No matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it's still meat. This is not a mosquito's leg. I spend tens of thousands of dollars a day here. Now that something like this happened, of course they have to give me some discounts. But since he gave us free of charge, Miss Liu, how about another bottle?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Liu Zuiqing immediately waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not a good drinker. It's easy for me to get drunk. What if you do something bad to me when I'm drunk?"
Jiang Cheng's face changed. He deliberately said with a straight face, "Miss Liu, you're looking down on me.
I, Jiang Cheng, am one of the five good young men of China in the 21st century. I've won all kinds of citizen awards. How can you think of me as a villain who takes advantage of others? It's so disappointing! "
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Liu Zuiqing thought to herself, "So he's called Jiang Cheng. I finally know his name now."
Liu Zuiqing replied with a straight face, "Mr. Jiang, it's not that I want to refuse, but I really can't hold my liquor well. One bottle is enough for us. If we have another bottle, I'm afraid the hotel manager will fight us to the death!" As she spoke, she glanced at the lobby manager who had been watching them from afar.
Jiang Cheng had also noticed that the manager who had just left didn't go far. Instead, he had been standing at the edge of the banquet and staring at them. It seemed that he was afraid that Jiang Cheng would take this opportunity to order a lot of expensive things.
"Well, since Miss Liu can't hold her liquor well, let's not overdo it. Miss Liu, you can tell me the details about your uncle now." Jiang Cheng put a piece of steak into his mouth and said vaguely while chewing.
Although Jiang Cheng's eating posture was very inelegant, in Liu Zuiqing's eyes, it was indeed very manly. He didn't have the hypocrisy of those sanctimonious men. He didn't deliberately hide anything in front of her, nor did he pretend to be a gentleman. Instead, he presented himself in a very natural manner in front of her.
Liu Zuiqing took a sip of red wine, sorted out her emotions, and said, "My name is Liu Zuiqing, the daughter of the former chairman of Liu's Shipping Group, an internationally famous transportation group. My uncle is Liu Yuande, you know. He is now the CEO of the group. Before I reach the age of 20, all the business of the group will be managed by him. This is the will of my father. When he passed away, I was only six years old, and I didn't have the ability to manage such a big group. It was impossible. My father had no choice but to appoint my uncle as the CEO of the group."
Speaking of this, Liu Zuiqing was a little emotional. It seemed that she was a little sad when she thought of her dead parents. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Cheng immediately diverted her attention and asked, "Your uncle is very powerful. He has been scheming against you since you were six years old?"
Liu Zuiqing shook her head and said, "No, at the beginning, I lived with my uncle and aunt. I have a cousin who is one year younger than me. At that time, my uncle and aunt treated me like their own daughter. But as I grew older, I gradually learned about the group and how important my position as chairman was. It was clearly written in my father's will that when I reach the age of 20, I will take over the power of the group."
"So, when your uncle saw that you were getting older and older, the affection he had for you in the past began to change, because your existence has affected his position. This kind of thing is very common. Once a powerful person loses his power one day, it will make him very sad. Your uncle obviously doesn't want to give up the position of president, or even the position of chairman. I think your uncle must have nagged you a lot to give up the position of chairman to him, right?"
Liu Zuiqing nodded, "Well, probably when I first entered middle school, my uncle often talked to me about this. But once Uncle Ma, the old butler, saw it. Uncle Ma was very angry and quarreled with my uncle. Since then, the old butler told me a lot of things about the group. He told me that no matter what my uncle said to me, I must not give up the position of chairman of the group, and I must hold it tightly in my hands."
Jiang Cheng understood. It seemed that Liu Yuande had been trying to persuade Liu Zuiqing since she was a child, but there was an old butler watching Liu Zuiqing all the time, so Liu Yuande couldn't continue to do that.
"I see. It seems that after your uncle's family attack failed, he began to use violence. He directly sent people to kill you. As long as you die, the Liu's group will inevitably fall into his hands, because he is the only heir besides you. It seems that your uncle has a good plan." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Liu Zuiqing nodded with a painful expression, "Well, I didn't know my uncle would do this at first. I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I was shot in the abdomen by a gunman at the school gate when I was out of school. I almost died at that time. Fortunately, the teacher sent me to the hospital in time, and I was saved.
At that time, I didn't know what was going on. My uncle came to the hospital to see me and told me that he would catch the murderer. But later, he caught the murderer and handed him over to the police. I saw the news. That man was indeed the man who shot at me at the school gate. I thought my uncle offered a reward for the gunman for my sake. Later, the old butler told me that the gunman surrendered voluntarily after receiving a large sum of money from my uncle. In fact, it was my uncle who asked him to kill me.
My heart almost died at that time. I never thought that my closest relative would kill me, but the facts made me believe that all this was true. From then on, the old butler took me away from my uncle's house and lived in our old villa, and hired a large group of bodyguards to protect my safety 24 hours a day. But even so, I was still under my uncle's close supervision. He didn't allow me to go abroad at will, and strictly controlled my finances. In my account, except for a secret deposit left by my mother, the rest of the money was given by my uncle little by little every year. "
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help sighing. Since ancient times, rich and powerful families had a lot of disputes.
The enmity and resentment between them were even more numerous. He didn't expect such a situation to happen in the Liu Family, which was already on the decline. Liu Zuiqing was Liu Yuande's niece, the biological daughter of his elder brother. How cruel was he to lay his hands on a girl who was only twenty years old? Moreover, the girl was his niece.
"Wealth and power are indeed two things that make people crazy!" Jiang Cheng said with emotion.
Liu Zuiqing nodded sadly. Speaking of this, her emotions were a little out of control. At this time, she was wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.
Jiang Cheng carefully saw that the handkerchief in Liu Zuiqing's hand was a square handkerchief with a pair of mandarin ducks. The pattern was very delicate. There weren't many people in society who used handkerchiefs nowadays, even girls rarely used them. He didn't expect that Liu Zuiqing still kept the tradition of using handkerchiefs.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help asking curiously, "Miss Liu, what's this handkerchief?"
Hearing this, Liu Zuiqing glanced at the handkerchief in her hand and explained, "Oh, this is the only thing my mother left me. When she passed away, she told me that her favorite thing was the Heart of the Ocean that she had seen once. So this time I saw that the Heart of the Ocean was being auctioned in a magazine, so I tried every means to fly here from Singapore. To be honest, Mr. Jiang, I spent all my savings to buy the diamond in your hand. Now I only have the money for the ticket home. Mr. Jiang, I sincerely ask you again, can you help me? As long as you protect me until my 20th birthday next month, when I take over the group, my uncle will have no chance. At that time, I can satisfy whatever you want."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Miss Liu, do you mean you can satisfy any condition?"
Liu Zuiqing nodded with a firm expression and said, "Yes, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!"
