Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 413 Report

Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Report

Cheng Qiaobei walked to the bedside and sat down, gently stroking Chen Ningxi’s forehead with soft eyes, "You didn’t eat much tonight, want a midnight snack? I found a BBQ place nearby."

He wanted to make her happy, but because of the doctor’s words, Chen Ningxi was in very low spirits. Even though she understood his good intentions, she couldn’t muster any energy.

"I’m a bit tired, I want to sleep."

"Alright then." Cheng Qiaobei leaned over and kissed her lips, "Go to sleep."

He stayed by her side until Chen Ningxi was sound asleep, then opened his laptop to handle the company’s matters.

Deng Yan saw that Cheng Qiaobei had replied to messages and hurriedly sent over the files that needed urgent decision.

Half an hour later, Cheng Qiaobei confirmed that the content was correct, and Deng Yan began to report the recent movements of Cheng Siluo and the investigation company.

Deng Yan: Because of the anniversary event, Manager Cheng is extremely busy and hasn’t had time to contact the investigation company, but the investigation against you hasn’t stopped.

The room’s lamp was on, casting a dim light, but the cold and sternness on Cheng Qiaobei’s face remained unchanged.

Cheng Qiaobei: Let him investigate, the more he finds, the longer he’ll serve jail time.

Deng Yan: I don’t quite understand, what’s the point of Manager Cheng investigating sister-in-law’s medical records?

Regarding Chen Ningxi’s condition, the less people know, the better, not for anyone else, just to protect Chen Ningxi.

Cheng Qiaobei: These are things I need to consider, you don’t need to worry about it.

He didn’t give a reason, but explicitly refused, indicating that the medical record issue should not be brought up again.

Deng Yan: Are you really planning to attend the anniversary event?

Cheng Qiaobei: We’ve already agreed last time, I’m going.

Deng Yan was apprehensive: I always feel like this is a Hongmen banquet.

Cheng Qiaobei: You’re overestimating her and underestimating me.

Deng Yan: I’m really worried, the entire group views you as an enemy now, even Chairman Yin and Chairman Lian won’t help you anymore, if something happens that night, it’s too unfavorable for you.

Cheng Qiaobei: Then let her put on a good performance, don’t disappoint me.

Deng Yan: We can’t let our guard down.

Cheng Qiaobei: I understand, she must make a move, but for Eastern First-class to formally stand in front of the public, I must attend.

His face is the living billboard for Eastern First-class, and Deng Yan understood this, knowing it’s a risky move.

But if they win, Eastern First-class will officially enter the upper business circles.

Deng Yan gave up, since he couldn’t stop it, he could only become the sharp sword in his hand.

Deng Yan: Alright, since you’ve decided to go, we need to fight a well-prepared battle.

Cheng Qiaobei’s lips raised in a smile: That’s right.

After ending the conversation with Deng Yan, Cheng Qiaobei was about to go to sleep when he received a call from Zhou Sui.

After the phone connected, Zhou Sui first expressed apologies.

"Manager Cheng, I’m very sorry to disturb you so late, but it’s an important matter we need to discuss."

He lowered his voice, "Hold on a second."

Afraid of waking Chen Ningxi, Cheng Qiaobei got up and walked to the bathroom, closing the door.

"Go ahead, what’s the matter?"

Zhou Sui said: "I’ve been reported, for unfair competition and malicious monopoly of hotel rooms, then raising prices to increase tour costs, deceiving consumers."

Cheng Qiaobei was silent for two seconds. It’s well-known that group tour fees fluctuate based on peak and off-peak seasons, with prices changing based on transportation, accommodation, meals, and guide services, etc.

But unfair competition and monopoly seemed unlikely to Cheng Qiaobei.

"Did you monopolize room resources? Tell me the specific situation."

Zhou Sui said: "Huilv Travel and Eastern First-class now have a strategic partnership. Your rooms are very competitive with some old-brand hotels. Now, someone reported that I monopolized all Eastern First-class rooms, offering low-price rooms to customers at high prices."

Cheng Qiaobei snorted coldly from his nose, "Nonsense."

Zhou Sui said: "It has already alarmed the authorities, investigation is inevitable. We both know this, but I’m worried that the investigation will be maliciously publicized by others, which is not beneficial for Eastern First-class or Huilv Travel."

Cheng Qiaobei pondered, "Did you find out who reported it?"

Zhou Sui said: "No, the other party is anonymous."

"..." Cheng Qiaobei’s eyes glinted dangerously, being anonymous would make the investigation more troublesome, "Since they’re investigating, they should contact me soon. Don’t wait for the authorities to come to us, report it first thing in the morning. After getting the case receipt, release it through Huilv Travel’s website, make sure the official website publishes both the case receipt and the lawyer’s letter simultaneously. I’ll also arrange for Deng Yan to handle this. Remember, we must act faster than them to win the public opinion battle."

With Cheng Qiaobei’s cooperation, Zhou Sui felt more confident in smoothly overcoming this credibility crisis.

Cheng Qiaobei asked: "Currently, which hotels does Huilv have deep partnerships with?"

Zhou Sui said: "Besides Eastern First-class, the most cooperation is with Jade Jiali, but due to excessive complaints about Jade Jiali from customers, many of our tour groups have switched rooms to Eastern First-class or other branded rooms."

Cheng Qiaobei frowned, he had only left for a few months, how could Jade Jiali receive frequent complaints from guests? This indicated a problem at the management level causing a chain reaction in the hotels below.

He said: "Did you give feedback to Jade Jiali about the complaints?"

Zhou Sui: "Of course, and I’ve listed the hotels and issues in detail."

Cheng Qiaobei: "Did you get any feedback?"

Zhou Sui said: "Not only no feedback, but the query I sent at the beginning of last month hasn’t been answered. I can’t terminate the cooperation entirely, breaching the contract unilaterally would mean a huge compensation, thankfully there’s only six months left. Whether the contract is renewed or not depends on Jade Jiali’s attitude."

Cheng Qiaobei: "Which manager did you contact?"

Zhou Sui: "Manager Cheng."

Cheng Qiaobei smirked mockingly, so this is your management capability, Cheng Siluo?

As a former employee, Cheng Qiaobei harbored a fledgling feeling towards Jade Jiali, hoping it would do better.

Cheng Qiaobei said: "Manager Zhou, it’s best if you personally contact Mr. Cheng again, only Mr. Cheng can resolve this smoothly."

Zhou Sui laughed, "Manager Cheng, some say you’re ruthless, others say you’re unscrupulous, but I somehow feel you’re not ruthless enough. Are you not afraid of being stabbed in the back someday by those who kicked you out?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "The biggest difference between people is not origin or education, nor money and power, but humanity and thinking."

Zhou Sui recalled signing the contract with Cheng Qiaobei that day, when opening the promotional materials for Eastern First-class, the first page stated:

Great tasks must be done in detail.

Difficult tasks must be done with precision.

She knew then, working with him promised a bright future.

She said, "Fine, I’ll contact Mr. Cheng tomorrow."

After hanging up, Cheng Qiaobei gently returned to bed.

Taking a moment to look at Chen Ningxi in the dim light, her brows were furrowed, not sleeping peacefully.

Cheng Qiaobei turned off the light, lifted her head, slipped his hand under her neck, and held her in his arms before closing his eyes.

Perhaps they were both accustomed to each other, he could only fall asleep holding her, and she could only be at peace embracing him.

The three boarded the plane back to Danjiang, and before Cheng Qiaobei landed, Zhou Sui and Deng Yan had already completed the tasks he arranged.
