Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Hotel Owner
At this moment, Lin Yi simply walked back, himself not the kind to flaunt his wealth. If he really wanted to show off, this very hotel belonged to him. Did he really need to announce it as soon as he walked in?
Now, as Lin Yi approached Han Xuewei, she too revealed a shocked expression and involuntarily gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie were also extremely astonished, both displaying looks of admiration.
Lin Yi didn't say much more and led everyone back to their seats to continue their meal.
But right then, the doors to the nearby VIP elevator opened, and several men in business suits stepped out, quickly making their way into the banquet hall.
Li Lanxue looked up and noticed these tall men, with Song Jinhui, the general manager of Jinguo Hotel, in the center.
Li Lanxue recognized Song Jinhui. Her family had done business with him before, which is why she had specifically arranged the gathering at this venue.
After all, Song Jinhui had negotiated with her father in the past, so he would undoubtedly offer a discount as a courtesy.
Therefore, she immediately went up to him with a flattering smile, and Song Jinhui walked towards her as well.
But as he approached, Song Jinhui merely brushed past her without paying any attention, proceeding straight to Lin Yi.
Watching this unfold, Li Lanxue's face turned a pale shade of green and white.
Yet Song Jinhui's demeanor towards Lin Yi was entirely different from how he had treated her, as he bowed and nodded, saying, "My goodness, Mr. Lin, why didn't you inform me of your visit? Your sudden arrival here makes us seem quite disrespectful..."
As Song Jinhui spoke, he was extremely courteous and kept bowing and nodding, leaving everyone present dumbfounded!!
Han Xuewei and Lin Jie also exhibited surprised looks at this time. Lin Yi, on the other hand, remained utterly composed, simply shaking his head and saying, "It's nothing, just having a meal with friends. There's really no need for such a fuss."
Lin Yi spoke calmly; he hadn't expected the hotel manager to come to greet him personally.
He had thought he was being low-key enough, but apparently, he had still been noticed.
But now, there wasn't much he could say since everyone was aware, and the trouble was, he had to explain things to Han Xuewei again.
At that moment, Song Jinhui was visibly excited, for he had spotted the bill that Lin Yi had left on the table amounting to several hundred thousand.
While it was understood that a tycoon would certainly not be short of money, if he, a wage earner, was insensitive, it would be the end of him.
He promptly took back the bill Lin Yi had placed on the table, saying, "Mr. Lin, as the owner of our hotel, there's no need to spend money when you dine here."
After these words, he handed the bill to the waiter, who was completely befuddled, taking the bill in a daze.
At this time, everyone was shocked by Song Jinhui's words; Lin Yi turned out to be the owner of Jinguo Hotel!
Jinguo Hotel was the biggest hotel in Xiangcheng, standing out among the many hotels in the city, representing a significant business presence not to be underestimated. And the owner behind it all was the young Lin Yi, their university classmate! At this moment, everyone wanted to exclaim, "Oh my God," realizing that what Lin Jie said earlier was true.
The Supreme Grade Hypermarket indeed had shares owned by Lin Yi, and with him also owning this hotel, the combined wealth of these two giant enterprises made Lin Yi's fortune immeasurable.
So the fact that he possessed a black card from the Golden Dragon Bank was not at all incomprehensible, but rather quite ordinary.
At this moment, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun both heard these words, and their faces turned ashen.
Li Lanxue's face was flushed with holding back her annoyance, as she had not expected that she would offend such an important person.
Lin Yi turned out to be the owner of Jinguo Hotel. Weren't all the careless things she had said just now going to...
With this thought, Li Lanxue showed a look of horror, somewhat at a loss, as she looked at Lin Yi.
Several of the enterprises under her father's name were involved with Jinguo Hotel, among which the best performing was the liquor business.
Their family was the largest liquor supplier in Xiangcheng, and Jinguo Hotel was their biggest customer.
She had heard that her father had recently managed to secure a large order with Jinguo Hotel after much effort. That's why she had purposely chosen this hotel, hoping the hotel staff would do her a favor by giving a discount for the funds used at the gathering. But now, it all seemed to be ruined.
If her actions were to screw up her father's business, then she was truly done for.
Therefore, her face took on an embarrassed expression as she walked up to Song Jinhui and Lin Yi, bowing her head repeatedly and speaking, "Lin Yi, I truly apologize for just now. I really didn't mean it, and I wasn't aware of the situation. Since we're classmates from the same school, I beg you to forgive my blunders. I am really sorry…"
At this moment, Li Lanxue was completely different from just before, continuously bowing and apologizing.
After all, if she caused her father's business to fail because of today's actions, her future days would not be easy.
At this time, Song Jinhui watched Li Lanxue with surprise, then turned to Lin Yi. Having long been adept at reading people and situations, he quickly grasped the gist of the matter and said, "Mr. Lin, this young lady discussed a collaboration with our hotel before, but the order hasn't been confirmed yet. What do you think…"
As Song Jinhui spoke, his insinuation was clear: he was waiting for Lin Yi's opinion.
But Lin Yi didn't wish to elaborate and simply waved his hand indifferently, "This is my personal time, and I don't wish to discuss work now. Handle this matter yourself!"
Lin Yi said indifferently, and at this moment Song Jinhui instantly understood.
With his years of experience in the workplace, how could he fail to interpret Lin Yi's meaning?
So, he nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, enjoy your meal. I shall take my leave now."
After saying this, he turned and walked away without so much as glancing at Li Lanxue.
At that moment, Li Lanxue instantly realized what had happened and showed a look of panic, attempting to chase after Song Jinhui.
Song Xinhui paid her no mind and entered the elevator with his companions, not giving her a single look.
Inside the elevator, Song Jinhui took a deep breath. He hadn't expected the business partner he was about to cooperate with to be so oblivious. He said directly, "Secretary Liu, reject all previous collaborations with the Li Family. From now on, we will no longer work with the Li Family in any capacity!"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu immediately took out the documents at hand and drew a cross over the Li Family's page. From then on, the Li Family's businesses would no longer have any dealings with Jinguo Hotel.
At this time, everyone at the banquet was extremely shocked. They had not expected a classmate they usually interacted with to be such a concealed tycoon.
And this was a realm that even a well-born young master like Shen Wenjun could not reach.
