The only response he received was a loud snoring. He turned around with a wry smile; the minister was still fast asleep.
He shook his head speechlessly and muttered, "Damn, how much did I drink yesterday? I only remember downing a few glasses of baijiu, about three or four ounces each, and I've forgotten everything else... I'm so drunk, the minister is done for, but I wonder if that kid Li Yang is dead or not? Even if he's not dead, he'll probably be bedridden for days!"
He tidied himself up, muttered something, and walked out.
I just opened the door. I was immediately stunned.
Huh? Isn't that Li Yang? He's covered in sweat, wearing a Nike tracksuit, and running out of the emergency exit.
"Li Yang, what's wrong with you?" The male employee asked, puzzled. Li Yang's face was rosy and his breathing was normal; he didn't seem like someone who was about to pass out from drinking.
"Going downstairs for a run is a habit of mine. Besides morning runs, I do many other things every day," Li Yang said with a smile.
"What about your clothes?" He remembered that Li Yang had arrived quite casually, only bringing himself with him and no luggage at all. If those two so-called homemade sandwiches didn't count as luggage.
"NIKE sportswear, not bad, right? I bought it last night after drinking. It was priced at 280, but I got it for 80. Not bad, huh?" Li Yang proudly flicked his sleeves and ran back to his room.
The male employee almost suffocated!
Damn! Everyone else looks like they're about to die, and you're the one who's in the mood to go to the night market and haggle over cheap bargains!
The male employee felt that if he didn't find a reason or way to vent, he would definitely suffer internal injuries from holding it in!
Because of these bastards' hangover, the four-star hotel reeked. The staff, though paid, reluctantly had to deal with it.
He was already cursing the heavens in his heart.
There wasn't much to do today, since there are still two days until the official jade gambling starts, and we already learned some of the general situation yesterday.
Today, Xue Tao took the head of the design department and his assistant secretary to the upper management, and the employees didn't need to follow.
They didn't wake up until noon, groggily, their heads throbbing. At lunchtime, they avoided Li Yang, their faces filled with terror. That bastard was inhuman! They couldn't take it anymore.
The group of idiots ate lunch in a very frustrating way, full of anger but not daring to vent it on Li Yang.
Surprisingly, in the afternoon, Julian arrived with three or four security guards, but they were all unfamiliar faces, probably people Julian had temporarily transferred from the company! Julian himself was not very close to Wang Miao and the others at the time, so his injuries were basically negligible.
However, we didn't see Qian Da, Xie Zhao, and Tao Fen, the two birdmen. It seems that their injuries were quite serious, and they were unable to fight while injured.
"Minister Yu, you are truly a valuable asset to the company! Even in this condition, you are still resting in the hospital. When President Xue finds out, he will definitely reward you handsomely! You have a bright future ahead of you!" A minister came up and patted Julian on the shoulder, saying with a smile.
"Not at all, not at all. As the head of the company's purchasing department, and this trip is mainly about matters for my department, how could I, as the head, be absent? It's my duty!" Julian felt very pleased to hear his words, but on the surface he was very humble, a typical pretentious hypocrite.
"You guys don't look quite right!" Julian said, looking at the group with a puzzled expression.
Julian's mention of this only made the group of bastards even more annoyed. They looked around warily and, finding that Li Yang wasn't nearby, they immediately let loose and started cursing and hurling insults at Li Yang.
Julian was shocked to hear this, and then said indignantly, "That Li Yang is really something, relying on his ability to drink to torment the brothers like this, it's outrageous!"
"Yeah, yeah, we have to find a way to get it back, otherwise we won't be able to swallow this humiliation!" a colleague exclaimed unhappily.
"How arrogant! We must teach him a lesson!" Several security guards behind Julian also became indignant.
A note to readers:
Brothers, I'm updating five or even six times a day, with each chapter over two thousand words. Does that count as updating over ten thousand words a day? Thanks for your support! Keep up the good work!
Chapter 290: Framed
They were already very unhappy that Li Yang had stolen their good fortune and taken away their jobs, and then he made their ministers and bosses lose face one by one in Haizhu District.
Without Li Yang, if something had gone wrong, it would have been a problem; at worst, they would have just packed their bags and left. But because of Li Yang, they lost face big time, appearing incompetent and stupid, practically becoming trash.
They were all security guards, united in their hatred of the enemy, and thus filled with hostility towards Li Yang.
To be honest, Julian was also a little annoyed with Li Yang. Which of these colleagues didn't fawn over him like a servile servant?
Li Yang ignored him completely, acting all high and mighty.
At the same time, he wasn't familiar with Li Yang, but he had a decent relationship with these colleagues, so of course he would side with his relatives regardless of the facts.
"So what's your plan?" Julian asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Cough cough... The minister is truly a role model for us..." A colleague suddenly coughed, as if he had eaten a pile of dog poop.
The others immediately understood and looked over discreetly, only to find Li Yang standing in the hall.
"Let's go upstairs and play cards for a break!" one of his colleagues suggested, pulling Julian and the security guards upstairs.
As several burly, tall security guards passed by Li Yang, they gave him an unfriendly look. Li Yang stared back at them, his face calm and collected.
Several security guards insisted on keeping a close eye on Li Yang, hoping to subdue him with their gaze, but their plan backfired. Instead, they themselves couldn't bear the embarrassment and slunk upstairs.
Li Yang smiled faintly, curled his lip in disdain, and went downstairs.
...
Inside the room, a group of frustrated men were playing cards, their anger palpable. One colleague had notes stuck to his face, and he was getting increasingly annoyed.
Even now, I can still smell the strong odor of alcohol on myself, which is extremely unpleasant. My female colleagues avoid me when they see me, looking at me with obvious disgust.
He was so annoyed.
"I can't swallow this insult if I don't find a way to teach that kid a lesson today!" he yelled angrily, throwing down his cards and refusing to play anymore.
His words annoyed his colleagues, who then threw down their cards and stopped playing. They began racking their brains for ways to get back at Li Yang.
But after thinking about it, many of the solutions I came up with were so ridiculous and absurd that it was better not to use them. It would be utterly shameful!
