Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 18 Change of Security Captain

My cold gaze swept over Li Kai, as if to say, "Want to try?" When Li Kai met my gaze, he felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, unable to move.

His hands clenched tightly, trembling slightly. He was shocked to see so many people taken down overnight, yet he was also incredibly grateful that he hadn't made a move, otherwise the outcome would have been even worse.

After a while, Li Kai raised his head and smiled shakily, "Boss lady, we sincerely wanted to invite you to be our guest. It was a misunderstanding just now."

After tidying everyone up, I sat back down in my chair, fanning myself, crossing my legs, and with a stern face, I said sarcastically, "Your subordinate knocked my fan away and even tried to hit my men. Is this how your young master treats guests?"

Li Kai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stammered, and said guiltily, "No, it was just that my subordinate acted on his own without thinking. Please don't hold it against him."

"I don't care if you were trying to intimidate me or if you really invited me. Go back and tell your young master that if he has something to do, he should come to me himself. Don't try to act like a gangster. I don't buy into that."

Li Kai knew he had messed things up! He still wanted to salvage the situation, "Boss lady, just to give Chairman Hua some face, could you please accept the appointment?"

I paused in my fanning, looked up at Li Kai with disdain, a mocking smile playing on my lips, and said coldly, "No one's face matters. Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for me to treat you to dinner?"

"No need, we'll leave now."

Seeing that I was unmoved, Li Kai had no choice but to return home, and his injured subordinates helped each other leave.

I love the way you can't stand me, but you can't beat me.

After a moment of silence, I turned to check if Chongyang was injured, only to find that his eyes were red. I joked, "What's wrong? Are you moved? A real man doesn't easily shed tears."

Chongyang said, her voice choked with emotion, "Sister Yuechu, thank you for protecting me. But you're so cool! No one has ever protected me like this before. One day I'll protect you too."

Seeing that Chongyang was in low spirits, I smiled and teased, "You're my employee, so only I can bully you. Nobody else can even think about it."

As Chongyang turned around to pick up the vegetables from the ground, she rubbed her eyes hard and said firmly, "Sister Yuechu has never bullied me."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and cook!" (A little crybaby)

As soon as Li Kai returned to the villa, the maid told him, "Brother Li, the young master said to go to the study to see him after you get back."

On his way to report to Hua Zijun, Li Kai felt uneasy because he had messed things up instead of getting things done properly!

A knock sounded on the door, followed by a lazy voice from inside, "Come in."

Li Kai opened the door and went in. Hua Zijun had her feet on the table, leaned back in her chair, and was playing a game on her phone with her head down. "Did you agree?"

Li Kai placed his hands in front of him and stammered, "No...no."

Suddenly, with a "smack," Hua Zijun forcefully slammed her phone onto Li Kai. The phone was originally meant to hit Li Kai's head, but Li Kai dodged it and it hit his shoulder instead. Li Kai gasped for breath.

Hua Zijun stared at Li Kai with a fierce look in her eyes and said in an unfriendly tone, "You can't even do this little thing right. What am I paying you so much salary for?"

My salary is paid by the chairman, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. If it weren't for your investment...

Li Kai clutched his shoulder, kneeling on one knee. His face showed no sign of pain, but the dense sweat on his forehead betrayed his expression.

Li Kai dared not look up at Hua Zijun. He knew he could not resist, nor could he show fear, otherwise Hua Zijun would beat him even more badly. "I am no match for the landlady of the Phantom Inn. Li Kai is willing to accept the punishment."

Hua Zijun looked at Li Kai with disdain, "Oh! You can't even beat a woman? Looks like you're all talk and no action. I think you can forget about being the security captain!"

Hua Zijun stared at Li Kai, and seeing Li Kai paralyzed on the ground, pale and powerless, he was overjoyed. He had long disliked Li Kai! He was like an old man, meddling in everything. Why not take this opportunity to replace Li Kai?

Hua Zijun lowered her legs, sat up straight, and smiled, implying, "Li Kai, you look badly injured. You should rest for a while. You know what to say to my dad, right?"

Li Kai thought to himself, "Isn't my injury thanks to you? You're just pretending to be a great philanthropist."

However, Li Kai still pretended to be very sad and reluctantly said, "Okay, young master, I will report to the chairman truthfully that I need to rest for a while because I accidentally fell and injured myself."

In his mind, Li Kai was screaming with joy, practically jumping for joy. He'd completely forgotten the landlady's instructions!

Ah! I can finally get rid of Hua Zijun! He's such a troublemaker, he's taken countless innocent lives on his shoulders. I don't want to be his henchman. This scoundrel has caused so much trouble, if it weren't for the chairman handling things behind the scenes, he would have died countless times already!

Li Kai and Hua Zijun shared the same idea. When Li Kai walked out of the study, his excitement was palpable. He happily went to the hospital for a check-up, completely letting loose.

After Li Kai left, Hua Zijun immediately took out a new phone and dialed the number of a brother he had recently met at a bar.

"Brother, I have a security captain position here, would you like to take it?"

The person on the other end of the line was so surprised that they accidentally broke a wine bottle. They said excitedly, "Thank you! Brother Zijun, don't worry, I will always support you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mu Yu'an hung up the phone and stood on the bar table, shouting loudly, "I'm paying for everything tonight!" A wave of cheers erupted.

After Mu Yu'an sat down, his friends, who often hung out with him, asked curiously, "Brother Mu, why are you suddenly so generous? Did you strike it rich? Don't forget about your brothers!"

Mu Yu'an thought that becoming the security captain of the Huashi Hotel was indeed a huge windfall! That was the Huashi Group! The security captain position was a very lucrative job.

"Sure, sure, wait for my news." Upon hearing this, the others immediately began to massage Mu Yu'an's shoulders and feet, acting like complete lackeys.

Seeing this, Mu Yu'an felt extremely satisfied. Friends who were once equals were now fawning over him because of his rise to prominence. Indeed, money and power are good things.
