Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Satisfying Mr. Chen

Li Jiao’s face turned bright red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Earlier, she had mocked Chen Dashan for being a country bumpkin, telling him to take a good look at himself in the mirror to see if he was even fit to discuss business with President Peng.

But now, here he was, sitting confidently and chatting with President Peng, while she had to pour wine for Chen Dashan.

It was truly ironic!

Apart from shame, Li Jiao felt a greater sense of fear.

Chen Dashan being treated with such importance by President Peng surely meant he had a significant status. A single word from him to President Peng could ruin her.

She deeply regretted offending such a big figure by accident.

Uneasy, Li Jiao poured a glass of white wine for Peng Hu.

Then, trembling, she walked over to Chen Dashan and bent down to pour wine for him.

Not daring to look up at Chen Dashan, her nervousness made her hands shake while pouring the wine.

Chen Dashan saw Li Jiao’s frightened and trembling appearance and smirked coldly. Now she was scared? Why did she have to look down on him?

"Ah?!

Suddenly, Li Jiao’s hand trembled, accidentally spilling wine onto Chen Dashan’s pants.

She turned pale with fright.

"What’s wrong with you! How can you mess up something as simple as pouring wine? Can’t handle even such a small task?" Peng Hu glared angrily at Li Jiao and barked, "You’ve disrespected an important guest like Mr. Chen. Aren’t you going to apologize immediately?"

"I’m sorry, President Peng! I’m sorry, Mr. Chen!"

Startled by Peng Hu’s outburst, Li Jiao hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.

"Mr. Chen, let me clean that up for you."

Li Jiao fetched a towel to help Chen Dashan wipe his pants, her hands still shaking with fear.

"Brother Chen, I apologize. The staff here are not competent, and they’ve dirtied your pants. I’ll compensate you with two new pairs." Peng Hu said as he poured wine for Chen Dashan himself.

"This manager is usually quite adept and efficient. I’m not sure what happened today," Peng Hu joked to lighten the mood, "Maybe your youthful and handsome appearance distracted her, haha."

Chen Dashan clinked his glass with Peng Hu’s, then lowered it and glanced at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao indeed had a voluptuous figure, and from his vantage point, the full curves beneath her professional suit were tempting, revealing deep cleavage.

However, she was just going through the motions while wiping his pants, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Brother Peng, Manager Li probably didn’t expect me to sit down and discuss things with you." Chen Dashan said slowly, "Earlier, I couldn’t reach you on the phone, so I asked Manager Li to pass a message. She told me to take a look at myself in the mirror, saying I was unworthy, haha, quite interesting."

Chen Dashan was not one to easily let things go, given Li Jiao’s earlier mockery and disdain for him.

"Is that so?" Peng Hu narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Li Jiao.

"Li Jiao, you have a lot of nerve! You dared to give Brother Chen a hard time and even called him a country bumpkin? Do you not want to keep your job?"

"Get out immediately! I am dismissing you from your position as lobby manager. Don’t come back to work ever again."

What a joke, Chen Dashan had just cured his hand, saving him from becoming disabled.

Moreover, Chen Dashan had excellent medical skills and martial abilities. Peng Hu was eager to figure out how to get closer to this young high achiever.

As soon as Chen Dashan made his intention clear, Peng Hu knew what needed to be done, and Li Jiao had to be severely disciplined.

"Ah! President Peng, I was wrong. I didn’t treat our guest well. Please don’t fire me!" Li Jiao panicked and pleaded.

"Mr. Chen, I’m sorry. I didn’t know who you were and insulted you. I promise I won’t do it again. Please help me beg President Peng for forgiveness. I’ll do anything for you."

Li Jiao bowed deeply in apology, her ample bosom trembling.

Chen Dashan remained silent, drinking his wine.

Peng Hu scolded: "Shut up! Get out of here, and stop being an eyesore to Mr. Chen!"

Li Jiao didn’t dare argue, her desolate expression evident as she left the private room.

She was filled with deep regret!

The lobby manager’s position at the Red Leaf Resort had been obtained thanks to a relative who had a connection with Peng Hu.

The job was not only easy and prestigious but also brought in two to three thousand a month in tips and side earnings!

It also allowed her to meet many business owners and build connections, making it easier to start her own small business in the future.

But now, she had been fired for offending Chen Dashan!

With a degree from a third-rate university and only two years of experience as a lobby manager, where could she find another job that offered such good benefits and satisfied her sense of superiority?

It was so frustrating...

After driving Li Jiao out, Peng Hu said: "Brother Chen, this incident is because I didn’t manage my people well. Please be lenient."

Chen Dashan waved it off, saying: "Brother Peng, it’s all in the past."

"Of course, of course." Peng Hu said with a laugh, "Brother Chen, I’ve reserved a special suite for you at the resort. Why don’t you go take a look and rest for a bit? I’ll send some pants to you, and you can choose a pair to change into."

Chen Dashan nodded slightly, "That sounds good."

He was quite satisfied with Peng Hu’s arrangements.

Having a special suite at the resort meant he could come and relax or practice martial arts whenever he wanted.

And so, the two of them left the private room, chatting and laughing.

A subordinate led Chen Dashan to the designated room.

Peng Hu, in high spirits due to his hand’s recovery, pondered how best to strengthen his relationship with Chen Dashan.

He guessed that Chen Dashan’s martial arts skills were exceptional, and if their relationship grew closer, he could perhaps ask Chen Dashan for help with another significant matter.

"President Peng, please give me another chance! I can’t lose this job! I promise I’ll never make such a mistake again."

Li Jiao came over, tearfully begging Peng Hu for mercy.

Peng Hu replied coldly: "You offended my honored guest and nearly ruined an important matter for me! Do you still want me to give you a chance? Do you realize, if Brother Chen had left in anger today, my hand would have been crippled! You should be grateful I didn’t have someone beat you up."

Li Jiao said pitifully: "President Peng, I know I was wrong. Please, considering my uncle is from the same village as you, give me a second chance to make things right. I’ll do anything you ask."

Peng Hu furrowed his brow slightly, looking thoughtfully at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao had been recommended for the resort job by her uncle right after she graduated from college, and she was generally competent.

She was beautiful, with a hot figure, and at twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, she was in her prime, attractive to any man.

Thinking of this, Peng Hu said suggestively: "Li Jiao, I will give you one last chance. Make sure you use it well!"

"If you want to continue working at the Red Leaf Resort, no matter what it takes, you must earn Brother Chen’s forgiveness."

"If you manage to satisfy Brother Chen, not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you!"

"Now, go and deliver the clean pants to Brother Chen."

Peng Hu waved her off.

Li Jiao blushed and immediately understood President Peng’s implication.

"Thank you, President Peng, for giving me this opportunity."

It seemed Chen Dashan was indeed very important to President Peng!

In the past two years working at the Red Leaf Resort, Li Jiao had seen many business owners come to spend money, but Peng Hu never gave her such instructions.

Normally, he’d even protect her from harassing businessmen out of respect for her uncle.

This time, she needed to "serve" Mr. Chen well!

With this in mind, Li Jiao headed to Chen Dashan’s room,
