The crystal chandeliers in the lobby of Grand Hyatt Hotel cast a brilliant and cold light, illuminating everyone's expression clearly. The whole space seemed to freeze at this moment, and time seemed to stop flowing.
The air was not only frozen, but also filled with a depressing atmosphere that made it difficult for people to breathe.
Two black-clad bodyguards blocked the way like iron towers. The fierce aura they exuded seemed to form an invisible pressure wave, which made the temperature around them drop a few degrees. Other guests in the lobby unconsciously stayed away from this place of trouble.
Zhao Jianhui's face, which was twisted by anger and humiliation, looked particularly hideous under the light. He was like an angry beast, staring at Chen Fan intently, and the malice in his eyes almost turned into substance, as if he wanted to eat Chen Fan alive.
"Boy, do you think you can walk out of this door tonight?"
This threatening word echoed in the lobby with undisguised arrogance, and every word hit Su Wanqing's heart heavily.
Su Wanqing's heart instantly sank to the bottom. She subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Fan. Her beautiful face was full of frost and determination, like a guardian god who refused to give in.
"Mr. Zhao, this is Grand Hyatt, not your private club!" Her voice was clear but trembling. The trembling was not only because of fear but also because of the anger towards Zhao Jianhui's lawlessness. "You dare to do it here, aren't you afraid that it will be on the headlines of Binhai City tomorrow?"
"Headlines? Hahaha!" Zhao Jianhui laughed arrogantly as if he had heard a big joke. The laughter echoed in the lobby and was extremely harsh.
"Su Wanqing, you are too naive. In Binhai, the power of my Zhao family makes it easier to suppress a few news than to crush an ant! Today I will let you know what will happen if you offend me, Zhao Jianhui!"
He waved his hand fiercely and gave an order to one of the bodyguards in a grim tone: "Ali, break this kid's legs for me! If anything happens, I will take responsibility!"
The bodyguard named Ali had a fierce light in his eyes and squeezed his fist as big as a casserole, and the joints made a "crackling" sound. Without any hesitation, he strode towards Chen Fan, with a heavy sense of oppression in every step.
Su Wanqing's face turned pale. She didn't expect Zhao Jianhui to dare to be so lawless in the lobby of a five-star hotel!
However, at this critical moment, Chen Fan, who was standing behind her, made a move that no one expected.
He gently pulled the pale Su Wanqing behind him. This protective gesture was firm and powerful like an insurmountable mountain. There was no fear or panic on his face, not even a trace of tension. His calm expression seemed to have nothing to do with him.
He was so calm that he seemed to be watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.
This extreme calmness formed an extremely strange contrast with the tense atmosphere around him, and even made the aggressive bodyguard Ali pause involuntarily, as if he was shocked by Chen Fan's aura.
Chen Fan ignored everyone, he just slowly took out his mobile phone.
He did not call the police or call for help.
He just dialed a number slowly in front of everyone, and then put the phone to his ear. His eyes passed Zhao Jianhui and his bodyguards and fell on the hotel lobby manager who was rushing over not far away, with an anxious face, and there was a hint of subtle deep meaning in his eyes.
The next second Chen Fan spoke.
His voice was not loud but was clearly heard throughout the hall. His tone was filled with just the right amount of convincing disappointment and majesty. Every word seemed to be carefully crafted and struck people directly.
"Hello, is this Manager Liu from the Sales Department?"
"I'm the guest of Room 3208, yes, my last name is Chen."
"It's like this, I originally wanted to talk to your hotel about renting a few executive suites for a long time as a permanent residence for our group's senior executives in Binhai City. But now it seems that the security service that Grand Hyatt Hotel is proud of seems to be just so-so."
"There are hooligans in the hotel lobby openly threatening to break the legs of guests, and your security personnel are just a few meters away watching indifferently?"
"Okay, I see, it seems that Grand Hyatt's hospitality is just like this, I think we should forget about the cooperation."
"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you, tomorrow I will let my lawyer formally contact your hotel, and by the way, I will also talk to a few familiar media friends about what level of "top security" is in the top five-star hotel in Bingan City."
The words are fluent and resounding!
The whole audience was shocked when the words came out!
The bodyguard Ali, who was just so aggressive, was completely stunned.
Zhao Jianhui's arrogant expression also froze on his face.
And the lobby manager who had just arrived and was about to start coordinating, after hearing these words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Long-term lease of executive suites! Or for the group's senior management!
How big a client is this? How big an order is this?
What's more terrible is that you have to find a lawyer and the media!
What is the most important thing for a five-star hotel? It's face! It's reputation! Once the news of "poor security and condoning gangsters' crimes" is leaked, it will be a devastating blow to the brand image of Grand Hyatt Hotel!
As a small lobby manager, he can't bear this responsibility anyway!
In an instant, the look he gave Chen Fan changed completely.
From the initial "ordinary guest who needs help", he instantly became "a mysterious VIP who must not be offended"!
"Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen, please calm down!" The lobby manager could no longer care about Zhao Jianhui, and almost trotted to Chen Fan with a humble and frightened smile on his face, "Misunderstanding! This is definitely a huge misunderstanding! It's our negligence in work. I apologize to you! I promise to deal with it for you immediately!"
After saying that, he turned around suddenly with a gloomy face, and shouted at the two bodyguards: "Who are you? Who asked you to make trouble here? Get out now! Otherwise, I will call the police immediately!"
Then he turned to Zhao Jianhui, whose face was livid. Although his tone was still polite, his attitude had become extremely tough: "Mr. Zhao, I'm very sorry. Mr. Chen is the most distinguished guest of our hotel, and we have the responsibility to protect his personal safety. Please stop your irrational behavior immediately, otherwise we can only ask you to leave for the reputation and order of the hotel!"
The balance of power has undergone an amazing reversal after Chen Fan's phone call and a few words!
The hotel's security force, from a bystander, instantly became Chen Fan's most solid shield!
"You... you dare!" Zhao Jianhui was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Manager Li! Look carefully! My father is Zhao Hongsheng of the Brilliant Group! You offended me for a poor boy who didn't know where he came from?!"
However, Manager Li's mind was as clear as a mirror at this moment.
You, Mr. Zhao, have great power, but you are just a temporary consumer, and the Mr. Chen in front of you may not only be a super big customer, but also a ruthless character who can easily pry the media to ruin the hotel's reputation!
Choose the lesser of two evils, he knows how to choose.
"Mr. Zhao, I respect your father very much. But Grand Hyatt has its own rules." Manager Li answered neither servile nor arrogant, and at the same time winked at the security guards around him. Several security guards immediately stepped forward without making a sound, faintly forming a human wall.
Zhao Jianhui was completely dumbfounded.
The family background he was proud of and the hotel rules he disregarded, at this moment, turned out to be the opponent's weapon! He was like a punch on cotton, with no power to use, and he was extremely frustrated.
From beginning to end, Chen Fan did not look at him again.
Using the power to suppress others.
Using the "power" of the golden signboard of Grand Hyatt Hotel!
The one being suppressed was Zhao Jianhui, a self-righteous, powerful but weak "person"!
Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Chen Fan knew that it was time to put an end to this drama, an end that would make Zhao Jianhui completely terrified.
He slowly walked to Zhao Jianhui, whose face was distorted by anger and frustration, and looked at him with a calm and indifferent look, as if he could see through Zhao Jianhui's soul.
Then he said something in a very light but extremely clear voice that made Zhao Jianhui's soul tremble.
"Zhao Jianhui, the only son of Zhao Hongsheng, the chairman of Binhai Huihuang Group, has a hobby of racing and owns three Ferraris and two Porsches. He spent millions of dollars studying in the UK three years ago, but he didn't even get a diploma."
Zhao Jianhui's face turned paler with every word he said.
Some of these things are public, but some of them, such as not getting a diploma, are known to only a handful of people! How did this kid know? !
Chen Fan ignored his shock, leaned forward slightly and continued in a devilish whisper that only the two of them could hear:
"Your father asked you to get close to the Su family because he saw the Su family's technical patents in the field of new energy and wanted to cooperate with them in business and upgrade the industry. He didn't want you to use such despicable means of forcing good women into prostitution to satisfy your dirty desires."
"Believe it or not, I just need to make a phone call and tell your father, who doesn't have a very good temper, exactly what you did tonight. Tomorrow, all the treasures in your garage will appear on the used car market, and your credit card balance will become zero?"
"Boom!"
These last words were like a thunderbolt that struck Zhao Jianhui's head fiercely!
He froze completely.
Looking at Chen Fan's bottomless eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, an unprecedented fear rushed from his tailbone to the back of his head!
He was scared.
He was really scared!
This young man is not a poor boy at all! He is a devil who knows himself well and can easily strangle his throat!
Looking at Zhao Jianhui's face that was as pale as paper because of fear, Chen Fan knew that the time had come.
He stood up and ignored the frightened idiot, and turned to Manager Li with a gentle smile: "Manager Li, please send a hotel car to take me and this lady away safely. I think we need an absolutely safe environment now."
"Of course! Of course! Mr. Chen, Miss Su, this way! I will take you there personally!"
Manager Li was as if he had been pardoned, nodding and bowing in front to lead the way.
Chen Fan still held Su Wanqing's soft but cold little hand, and in the awe-inspiring eyes of all the hotel employees and guests, he calmly walked past Zhao Jianhui and his two bewildered bodyguards who had already petrified, and got into a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan that had been waiting at the door.
The closed car door completely isolated all the disturbances in the lobby.
It was not until the car merged smoothly into the traffic that Su Wanqing's tense nerves finally relaxed.
She turned her head and looked at the man beside her who had changed everything. Her cold autumn eyes were filled with endless shock, confusion, and strong curiosity.
Who is this man?
He wore the most ordinary clothes, but he had the courage and spirit that even Zhao Jianhui could not match.
He obviously had nothing, but he could easily mobilize all the resources of a five-star hotel to serve himself.
What kind of mystery is he?
"Who... who are you?" Su Wanqing's voice had a tremor that she herself had not noticed, "How do you know so much about Zhao Jianhui? And... Mr. Wang and the group you mentioned before, are they all..."
Chen Fan looked at the rapidly receding neon lights outside the window, and the lights of the city flowed in his deep eyes.
He turned his head and looked at Su Wanqing seriously, his expression calm and serious.
"Miss Su, those are not important. What's important is that you are safe now."
He paused and changed the subject to drop a real bombshell.
"But your family, the Su Group, is not safe. I know you are running around looking for funds for your father's company, but you have been looking in the wrong direction from the beginning."
Su Wanqing's heart suddenly tightened.
Chen Fan continued in an unquestionable tone, as if stating an established fact: "Three days later, that is, this Friday, Binhai Technology's stock price will reach a stage peak due to continuous daily limit increases. Before that, Zhao Jianhui, who was forced into a desperate situation, would sell off his shares in another company at any cost to frantically raise funds, in an attempt to retaliate and annex your Su Group by hostile takeover."
"And the company he sold is called 'Dongsheng Mining'." Chen Fan's eyes became sharp at this moment, piercing Su Wanqing's heart. "And Dongsheng Mining will announce in five days, which is next Monday, that it has discovered a super rare earth mine with astonishing reserves and a value of 100 billion yuan in its mining area. By then, its stock price will be more than ten times the current price."
Chen Fan looked at Su Wanqing's beautiful eyes that were wide open due to extreme shock and said word by word: "So now tell me, how much can your family mobilize with all its efforts?"
Su Wanqing's heart suddenly tightened, and her thoughts were intertwined like a tangled mess. She pursed her lips and touched the dry inner wall of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, trying to relieve her inner tension. However, at this moment, she remained silent, just staring at Chen Fan with her eyes full of complex emotions.
Chen Fan leaned forward slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty. He continued: "Let's do a business that will not only revive your father's company and take it to the next level, but also make that Zhao Jianhui truly doomed."
Chen Fan's words echoed in her mind like a blockbuster bomb. Su Wanqing's breathing became rapid. She knew that this might be an opportunity to change her fate, but it could also be a huge trap. She didn't know how to choose, and could only let her heart fight fiercely in silence.当然可以!这句话用地道,自然的美式英语可以表达为:
