Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

The next morning, just after nine o'clock.

A Maybach stopped quietly at the gate of Shangri-La Hotel.

The driver stepped forward and opened the door respectfully.

The horse penguin who rushed to Xiamen overnight came down.

Behind him, there was Zhao Lan, who had not slept all night and looked haggard, as if she had aged several years overnight.

Without any conversation, the horse penguin with a solemn face walked into the hotel first.

"Sir, I'm very sorry, we are closed today."

At the lobby entrance, the hotel waiter politely stopped the horse penguin who wanted to enter the hotel.

"I am Ma Penguin from the Penguin Group. I have come here specially to visit Master Chu. Please inform him, little brother."

Being stopped by a small doorman, the horse penguin did not get angry at all. He explained with a smile, looking amiable and kind, without a trace of arrogance of a big boss.

The young doorman was flattered by the attitude of the horse penguin, but he was in a dilemma as it was his duty and the general manager had repeatedly reminded them not to let strangers into the hotel today.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, I know you."

The doorman bowed to Ma Penguin first, looking hesitant: "But the general manager ordered that the hotel is not open to the public today. As for Mr. Chu you mentioned, it is not someone a small person like me can contact, so I am very sorry..."

Ma Penguin waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Little brother, I won't embarrass you. But please inform Mr. Chu's entourage that I will make an appointment for a visit."

The doorman was silent for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "Okay, then you wait in the lounge first, I'll ask the manager for instructions."

"OK, thanks!"

The horse penguin smiled and walked towards the lounge area in the lobby.

Walking into the hall, Zhao Lan followed Ma Penguin to the rest area, forcing a smile on her pale face, and said in a flattering manner: "Boss Ma, how about I wait here, you go back to the car and rest for a while, and I will report to you immediately if there is any news..."

What greeted her words was a cold look. Zhao Lan shuddered all over and dared not speak again. She stood aside obediently, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Last night, after she met Ma Penguin at the airport, she was greeted with a ruthless scolding.

Ma Penguin even said that if she didn't get Chu Yuchen's forgiveness, she would be fired and held accountable. She felt as if the world was coming to an end...

Although he cried bitterly and swore to admit his mistake, he did not get any forgiveness.

She understood that compared with the entire Penguin Group, she was just an insignificant pawn.

Sacrificing pawns to save rooks is the only option for the horse penguin.

But I always held a glimmer of hope in my heart, thinking that Ma Penguin would allow me to leave in a dignified manner because I had served him for more than ten years.

As for the idea of ​​staying in Penguin, it disappeared as soon as she saw the horse penguin for the first time.

Ma Penguin ignored Zhao Lan, but kept thinking about how to bow his head so that Young Master Chu would give up punishing the Penguin Group.

Soon, Xu Zhengyang appeared in the empty hotel lobby.

Ma Penguin immediately stood up, with that gentle smile on his face again, and strode towards Xu Zhengyang: "Hello, sir!"

"Hello."

Xu Zhengyang replied seriously.

Despite Xu Zhengyang's poker-faced attitude, Ma Penguin still smiled and introduced himself as usual: "I am Ma Penguin from Penguin Group. I came here to meet Mr. Chu and apologize to him for my subordinates' rudeness yesterday."

Xu Zhengyang stared at Ma Penguin for a moment before speaking, his voice devoid of emotion: "Mr. Chu is still resting, sorry for not seeing guests."

The smile on the horse penguin's face froze, and he didn't know if this was an excuse or the truth.

His eyes were fixed on Xu Zhengyang's calm poker face.

After a long time, Ma Penguin suddenly realized that he had checked Li Yitong's information last night. With such a beauty by his side, it was inevitable for young people to be more greedy for pleasure. It seemed normal that Young Master Chu did not get up at this moment.

Being in a different place, even if it's just me, if... it will take more time.

"Then may I trouble you to ask, Mr. Chu...when can you get up?"

The smile on Ma Penguin's face returned to what it was when they first met. He looked at Xu Zhengyang and asked softly.

Xu Zhengyang frowned slightly: "No one can explain this clearly."

Not to mention that he didn't know, even if he knew, he shouldn't be so stupid as to tell others about Young Master Chu.

And the person in front of him is Mr. Chu’s “enemy”.

Ma Penguin's expression did not change after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Then I will wait in the rest area until Master Chu wakes up. Please tell him that Ma Penguin is here to apologize. Please meet Master Chu."

Xu Zhengyang frowned and said, "Chairman Ma, Mr. Chu's arrangement today is to accompany Miss Li. You should understand this from the fact that the entire Shangri-La Hotel is closed.

With all due respect, he may not have time to see you today."

Ma Penguin shook his head and smiled faintly, "I came to Xiamen this time for only one thing, which is to apologize to Mr. Chu and Ms. Li Yitong. I will wait for Mr. Chu here and will not disturb you."

Xu Zhengyang didn't say much, just nodded and said "whatever".

Ma Penguin said seriously: "Little brother, please tell Master Chu that I will wait here until he meets me."

"it is good".

Xu Zhengyang nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but he saw another person walk into the hotel lobby and walk towards him.

Xu Daheng, who was walking over, was stunned when he saw Ma Penguin there. He slowed down his pace slightly, then nodded to Ma Penguin and told Xu Zhengyang why he was there.

After receiving the same reply from Xu Zhengyang, Xu Daheng immediately answered like a penguin - wait until Young Master Chu meets him.

After Xu Zhengyang left, Xu Daheng and Ma Ali sat on the sofa in the lounge area and looked at each other for a moment. Xu Daheng asked, "Mr. Ma, what are you doing..."

Ma Penguin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying helplessly, "Just like you, Director Xu, I am waiting for an interview with Master Chu."

"Oh!"

Xu Daheng nodded slightly. Although Ma Penguin did not tell him the specific reason, he suddenly felt better when he saw that he was also turned away. Seeing that Ma Penguin, who had always been low-key, was treated like this by Young Master Chu, he felt less depressed.

However, afterwards, the two did not have any in-depth communication with each other, but only talked about irrelevant things occasionally.

Until noon, neither of them received any message from Xu Zhengyang, and the expressions on their faces became increasingly heavy.

Even though the hotel manager prepared a fine meal for them out of courtesy, the two of them only ate a few bites and finished the meal hastily.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Zhengyang appeared in the lobby again, and Ma Penguin and Xu Daheng became excited again.
