Chapter 190: A Futile Effort
In the hotel’s underground parking lot, Assistant Che followed Ji Xiangyu, looking at his tall, imposing back. He genuinely felt that this would be a great hotel leader!
The driver brought the car over. Ji Xiangyu said to Assistant Che, “Assistant Che, you go back to the hotel and keep an eye on things. If anyone asks, say I’m home today!”
Assistant Che understood Ji Xiangyu’s intention and nodded, “Yes, Chairman!”
This battle must be won!
The driver got out of the car to open the door for Ji Xiangyu, but was refused, “Driver Qian, I’ll drive myself!”
Driver Qian was stunned, but ultimately complied and stepped aside, handing the car key to Ji Xiangyu.
Ji Xiangyu strode to the car, started the engine, and with a whoosh, disappeared from the parking lot. Assistant Che said with worry, “Chairman, this is a gamble! I hope there’s a turning point!”
Driver Qian sighed, “If only Master Ji were here to assist him. Our Young Master Ji is ultimately too kind. Compared to those old foxes, he’s simply too naive!”
Assistant Che thought of something and quickly walked into the elevator, “Driver Qian, you can go back first!”
As soon as the elevator door closed, Assistant Che made a telephone call, “Hello, it’s me!”
. . .
Ji Xiangyu sped all the way to Director Bai’s private residence. He parked the car and walked to the door, pressing the doorbell. It rang for a long time before someone answered.
“Hello, who is it?”
“I am Ji Xiangyu. I’m looking for Director Bai!”
The butler inside listened and said, “Young Master Ji, please wait a moment. I will inform him!”
The butler then left. Ji Xiangyu stood at the doorway, looking at the European-style white building inside. It seemed Director Bai had earned a lot over the years. Although the scale of the house couldn’t compare to the Ji Family Mansion, it at least looked very grand. The exterior tiles alone were the best imported Italian white matte tiles. This house was worth at least tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions!
His observation was interrupted by a stern voice, “Young Master Ji, our Master says he does not wish to see guests at the moment!”
Ji Xiangyu frowned. He doesn’t wish to see guests? Director Bai probably knew he was coming and was deliberately avoiding him!
“Please tell the Director that I will wait outside until he agrees to see me!”
The butler looked at Ji Xiangyu with difficulty, sighed, turned off the intercom, and walked towards the master’s bedroom on the second floor, knocking gently.
An old man sat in a black executive chair, a cigar in his left hand. A deep voice came, “How is it, has he left?”
The butler was a woman over fifty who had worked for the Bai family for over thirty years. She understood Director Bai’s temperament very well. The Master not seeing Young Master Ji now was simply to test his patience.
“No, he said he would wait until you see him!”
Director Bai took a deep puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled, “Hmm, report to me every hour!”
The butler retreated.
Director Bai made a telephone call, “Brother Situ, you were right. That kid Ji Xiangyu is at my doorstep right now!”
Situ Haonan burst into laughter, “Brother Bai, you must remain calm. We cannot lose the opportunity to capture the general for the sake of a mere pawn!”
Director Bai sneered, “Brother Situ, you indeed have great insight! Then I shall see when Old Man Ji comes knocking!”
Situ Haonan’s expression turned cold and sinister, “It’s not too late to use the ultimate move then!”
After hanging up the phone, Director Bai walked onto the balcony and looked at Ji Xiangyu standing in front of his house. This kid is truly both foolish and ignorant!
