Chapter 504: Chapter 503: Cutting off Someone’s Means of Livelihood

Yusuf Zuck had just left Marlon Shepherd’s office when he bumped into the five of them, who also seemed to have something to say.

Honestly, they could be considered veterans of the company, they just had never met Yusuf Zuck before. Moreover, the company was thriving, and the salaries were very high, certainly higher than at other companies, so if they left suddenly, it might not be easy to find a good job in a short time.

So they came to apologize.

"You five wait for me in my office, Mr. Zuck is busy." Marlon Shepherd, following by Yusuf Zuck’s side, gave the five a look and spoke.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zuck, take care." The five immediately stepped aside.

"Mr. Zuck, take care." Employees in the hallway who saw Yusuf Zuck immediately pressed themselves to the sides, and many men and women in the office area craned their necks to look this way.

Now, with over a hundred employees at Tianyi Investment working there, many were curious about what the young chairman looked like, wanting to remember for future encounters to avoid being rash.

Those working at Tianyi, regardless of gender, were called white-collar workers, and there were also quite a few older and unmarried ones, loads in their mid-thirties or even late thirties, so if the chairman was unmarried, they wouldn’t mind flirting a little the next time they saw the chairman. After all, snagging a golden bachelor in this society wasn’t easy.

The chairman hurried away, and many only caught a glimpse of his profile. The reception at the front desk helped him open the elevator, then said "Mr. Zuck, take care" once more.

Although Yusuf Zuck’s face didn’t show it, after this visit, he didn’t plan to come a second time. He felt like a monkey that had escaped from a zoo, feeling like he was being watched by everyone.

In his bones, he considered himself just a minor figure from the streets, at most a newly rich person, so he really couldn’t stand the feeling of being so high above everyone else.

Marlon Shepherd personally escorted him to the elevator before returning to the office. While walking through the corridor, he also signed a few documents, the company was busy, the larger it was the busier it got.

All five senior managers were waiting in his office, and they immediately stood up when they saw him return.

"Please, have a seat, you all..." Marlon Shepherd said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, "Don’t threaten with resignation at every turn in the future. Herman Holloway is not bad, but Ferreni Grand Hotel can run perfectly fine without him. And about Holloway’s leg, it was Mr. Zuck who broke it. Do you think I can let him continue as GM of Ferreni?"

"What?" Hearing Marlon Shepherd’s words, all five were stunned. Mr. Zuck broke Herman Holloway’s leg?

"So that’s how it was." The crowd came to a sudden realization. That must be a huge grievance. If they let Holloway continue as the GM, wouldn’t that be offending the chairman?

"Then, about our issue..." The five looked towards Marlon Shepherd again.

"It’s all good now, go back to your business. I’ve just spoken with the chairman, you are the veterans here, how could we let go of you? The chairman also said he was a bit impulsive just now, mainly because you targeted his woman. Ms. Wilcox of the New Century is his future wife; he overheard outside the meeting room when you were belittling his wife. It would be strange if he wasn’t angry!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shepherd, thank you so much." The five immediately expressed their gratitude.

"Actually, what you did today was right, it was my dictatorship. The chairman also said that it’s okay to have different opinions in meetings. Today was an exception. In the future, if I have any faults, you still have to point them out, and don’t let me make mistakes."

"Hehe, for the company, we will!" The five nodding and smiling.

"Alright, now go back to work."

"Oh, Mr. Shepherd, I have an old classmate at the municipal government; he might be able to help with New Century’s issue. Should I reach out to him?" Since they weren’t being fired, one of them thought of the current issue with New Century. If he could resolve New Century’s problems, the chairman would surely think highly of him.

"No need for you to do anything, it will be settled when the chairman returns." Marlon Shepherd shook his head.

"Alright." The group didn’t say anything more and left together.

...

When Yusuf Zuck arrived at the New Century, he saw to his shock that the illustrious five-star Ferreni Grand Hotel was sealed off with tape, deserted at the entrance, and with only a few cars in the parking lot.

Whoever targeted New Century was incredibly ruthless. With the hotel not allowed to operate, wasn’t this tantamount to cutting off people’s livelihoods?

Obstructing someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents. What kind of deep hatred was this?

Yusuf Zuck raced to the revolving door in a few strides and tore off the seal tape. He was furious. Which bastard was targeting Ruth Wilcox and the New Century while he was away?

"Damn, Yusuf, what are you doing?" Just as Yusuf Zuck had torn down the tape, several security guards ran over. They recognized Yusuf Zuck because he had once worked as a driver here, had fought Herman Holloway in the parking lot, and had a very tight relationship with Ms. Wilcox, so when the security guards approached, they looked panicked. They weren’t afraid of Yusuf Zuck—after all, they didn’t know he was the chairman of the place—but rather because the tape he tore down was officially placed. Who would dare to remove it before the situation was clarified?

"It’s none of your business." Yusuf Zuck took out his cell phone, huffing with anger. He didn’t go upstairs, because through telekinesis he had seen that Ruth Wilcox was already upstairs. As long as she was safe, that was what mattered.

He dialed Russ Trujillo’s number, and after two rings, the voice on the other end exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, you’re back in the country?"

"Cut the crap. If I didn’t come back, my family would be bullied to death. Help me find out who’s messing with New Century, and do it fast."

"Um... Brother-in-law, Boss Wang is also looking for you for something," Russ Trujillo whispered.

"Without sorting out New Century’s issues, even Heaven’s Emperor looking for me won’t get my attention!" Yusuf Zuck hung up the phone abruptly and then pushed open a side door to enter the hotel lobby.

Many people ran out in the lobby, led by none other than Paisley Kirk.

She was wearing a black suit skirt, with a badge bearing her name and position—she was the hotel’s lobby manager.

"Big brother Yusuf..." Seeing Yusuf Zuck, Paisley Kirk truly wanted to throw herself into his arms, but upon reaching him, she hesitated and didn’t dare. So she just stood there fidgeting, her face flushed and panting, not knowing what to say.

"Well, look at you, Lobby Manager. You’re looking very pretty, prettier than before," Yusuf Zuck whispered in her ear.

"Don’t talk nonsense. Ms. Wilcox might hear you," Paisley Kirk’s neck turned red.

"Have you learned to drive?" Yusuf Zuck immediately changed the topic. Indeed, this was not the place to flirt with young Paisley. Ruth Wilcox was already on the elevator coming down, probably having received the message that he was here.

"I did. I got my license and everything," Paisley Kirk whispered.

"I’ll be back tonight. We’ll discuss buying a car. Wait for me at home tonight." After speaking, Yusuf Zuck walked toward the elevator. At that moment, Ruth Wilcox stepped out of the elevator, accompanied by a group that included both men and women!

Yusuf Zuck noticed a woman by Ruth Wilcox’s side who was at the Grandmaster Level of internal boxing. This must have been someone arranged by Ariel Higgins.

"You’re back." Ruth Wilcox opened her arms and hugged Yusuf Zuck briefly, quickly letting go after a symbolic embrace, considering that many of the hotel’s managerial staff were present.

"It’s all right. I won’t wander off anymore. I’ll stay in the capital from now on. Besides, tell all departments to prepare to open for business. I’ll book the restaurant tonight. This place is dead quiet, not looking like a hotel at all!" Yusuf Zuck cursed loudly!

"Ms. Wilcox, big brother Yusuf, those people have come again!" Just then, Paisley Kirk suddenly warned as law enforcement vehicles approached from outside and a large group of people alighted!
