Master Swindler
Chapter 9
All the players felt that Lu Qingjia's actions were inexplicable and naive, and the two front desk ladies were also puzzled.
But there is one thing to say, Lu Qingjia's temperament can really bluff people.
If ordinary people say this, I'm afraid people will think that they are crazy and looking for faults, but a tall and handsome man with a strong momentum and a determined expression stands in front of him. Although the two front desks are still confused, they still bite the bullet and call the manager.
The quality of the landline at the front desk was not very good, and the external voice was a bit loud. Lu Qingjia could even hear a man's voice over there with the irritability of just waking up.
Looking at the wall clock in the lobby, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the other party hasn't woken up from his nap, which shows that he is leisurely.
Fortunately, the staff dormitory was at the end of the first floor, and before Lu Qingjia had to wait long, a man in his thirties, in a uniform and a suit, walked over.
Although this person is lazy at work, he smiles when he sees people, and he is slick. He introduced himself as Hao, and he is the manager here.
When he opened his mouth, he lowered his posture and said, "I'm sorry, I just took inventory in the kitchen and arrived, so I didn't come out to receive it."
"This——Mr. Lu, is it because the employees are not doing well? If you have any questions, just ask."
Lu Qingjia smiled but said, "In the current weather, it takes at least four hours to drive up from the bottom of the mountain."
"During the period, I didn't see any other cars passing by. The parking spaces in the back kitchen were all empty. The chef and helpers were also smoking outside right now. What would Manager Hao order by himself?"
Seeing that the casual lie was exposed, Manager Hao couldn't help being embarrassed.
Before he had time to explain, the man said again: "Take off the nameplate of the manager, you are fired."
Manager Hao was as dumbfounded as everyone else when he heard this. He has seen picky and domineering customers make trouble, but he has never seen a customer directly fire an employee. Do you really think this place is run by your own family?
The smile on his face couldn't help but Manager Hao said: "Mr. Lu, you can point out or complain if our service is not in place, but isn't it a bit—"
Dogs meddling with mice?
Lu Qingjia glanced at him and sneered: "As the special manager here, your immediate boss, I think I have the right."
"Special manager?" Manager Hao's expression was both sarcastic and funny, as if he was watching a psycho who made up a bad lie: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, but I haven't received any notice while sitting here."
"You—didn't receive it?" Lu Qingjia took a step forward, taller than the opponent by a large amount, letting the pressure spread.
Manager Hao looked at the man in front of him, his expression was not guilty at all, but it looked like he was looking at a pig with a vegetarian diet.
The expression showed the contempt of the mediocrity of the elite, but restrained due to self-cultivation, so this kind of rudeness seemed quite stylish, but the target was so embarrassed that he got into the cracks in the ground.
Rao Manager Hao, an old fried dough stick with hob meat, was a little overwhelmed, and at the same time he was angry and uncontrollably raised self-doubt.
The other party said: "The benefits here have not been good in recent years, and I didn't mean to blame you."
"After all, it is not well-known in the local area, which means it is more a matter of planning and marketing. The above does not have an accurate positioning for this place, and even does not arrange a fixed sales department."
"The source of customers is sparse and the business is cold, and the performance is not good and the salary cannot be improved. This will naturally affect the enthusiasm for work. I was somewhat psychologically prepared before I came."
"It's just that I didn't expect you, Manager Hao, as the temporary leader, to actually treat your job as a paid vacation. You even told me that you don't know about such an important personnel appointment notice?"
Lu Qingjia chuckled, picked up the handset of the front desk phone, and handed it to Manager Hao.
"Now you call Minister Cui and ask him what's going on now. I'm also curious about which step went wrong."
Manager Hao broke out in a cold sweat. Listening to Mr. Lu's words, he really doesn't look like an outsider, and his categorical attitude, and the boss of the area, Minister Cui, has moved out. It can be seen that there is a real reason for this, and it is not a psychopath who came here to amuse people.
Manager Hao recalled the memories of the last few days, and indeed he did not find the so-called special assignment, but he knew exactly what he was doing here.
In addition to dealing with the routine inquiries above, I go to the city to hold a summary meeting every month. Usually, it is really just like what Mr. Lu said, it is just a paid vacation.
It is not impossible if the people below neglect to answer the message or the faxed documents are neglected and not delivered to him.
At this time, Mr. Lu was still urging him with his eyes: "What's the matter? It's getting late now, and it's time to prepare dinner for the guests in an hour."
"If Manager Hao has doubts in his heart, he should confirm it early. There are a lot of guests today, and I don't have time to spend a few hours slowly explaining the entry situation to you."
"It's better for Minister Cui to explain himself."
But the more Lu Qingjia urged, the less Manager Hao dared to touch the phone.
Originally, he had doubted whether he had missed important information due to work omissions and felt guilty. Now, Manager Hao is genuinely resistant to contacting the outside world, even fearful.And this intensified contraction made Manager Hao believe that it was an omission on his side.
He thought to himself that this time he might really be making a big mess, so he smiled shyly and flatteringly: "Look at what you said, of course we welcome Manager Lu's appointment."
"Isn't this a joke to you? We received the notice, but we didn't expect the unified bus you were taking to come up. Forgive me."
He added: "The room has been prepared for you, and the view is excellent. You can see if you are satisfied. If you are satisfied, let's put down and salute, and rest for a while?"
Lu Qingjia looked at the other party critically, as if he was considering whether to let it go gently, and finally his face softened, as if he didn't want to kill them all.
Nodded: "Then trouble Manager Hao to take me to the dormitory."
The scale of this hot spring hotel is actually not small, and the staff dormitory is also considered ample, and the upper floors can even live in a room alone.
Although it is not as big as the guest room, it is still clean and tidy, and Lu Qingjia is quite satisfied.
But the players who stayed in the outer lobby and watched the whole process of Lu Qingjia's flickering were dumbfounded.
After watching from the sidelines, they didn't see how sophisticated the kid's routine was. He insisted on a lie to the extreme, and when others wavered, he won the routine.
But I didn't expect that it was really easy for him to sneak into the management of the villa.
I have to say that this turnaround really made them more dominant.The players who just commented on his lewdness and ignorance have changed their views now.
Maybe someone really has two brushes, so it is natural to win people into the player group.
But that person was also doing a full set of acting, and after returning to his room to rest for a while, he really came out to start working.
Thinking about it, I also work in this line of work in reality. I am quick to learn and handle things neatly. It is obvious that the work efficiency of the hotel staff has improved a lot.
It's almost time to eat, because there are not enough waiters in the restaurant, and the staff at the front desk usually have to help at this time.
Lu Qingjia said warmly to the two at the front desk: "Go to the restaurant first, and I'll take care of the rest."
After the two left, the other players in the lobby finally couldn't sit still. They came to the front desk and saw Lu Qingjia looking at the employee information and the latest purchase order.
One of the male players wearing glasses asked: "Dude, there is a way. Why are you so sure that the kid will be cowardly?"
Lu Qingjia glanced at the five players, two women and three men, they seemed to have accumulated some experience, at least everyone's expressions were not as absent-minded as the fat man's back then.
It should be a player who has already cleared several levels.
Lu Qingjia looked around and didn't think there were any really useful people in it, but one's energy is always limited, and a few more sources of information might be able to discover the places that are still in doubt earlier.
So he took out his mobile phone and shook it: "Everyone here except us is a ghost who has fallen into three days of reincarnation, you all know that, right?"
"Even if it has been more than ten years since such a major accident, it is still easy to find it online."
"There must be more than one person responsible for the deaths of so many people. From the hotel brand this villa belongs to to the person in charge of the region, they are all clearly listed."
"Furthermore, the people here are not alive except us. A group of dead souls who repeat the time before death unconsciously. Do you think they will have the consciousness to contact the outside world?"
That has to be non-existent, otherwise the cycle will be easily broken.
Regardless of the setting of the game rules, or the rules that bind the souls of the world so that they cannot realize that they are dead during the day, those ghosts will avoid contact with the outside world, otherwise this reincarnation cannot be repeated for more than ten years.
So when the manager was forced by Lu Qingjia to call his boss to ask for proof, it was more difficult than letting him go to the grave.
Because Lu Qingjia has long been convinced that the other party subconsciously dare not contact the outside world, even the most basic verification, coupled with Lu Qingjia's calm and determined attitude and flawless speech and behavior.
Naturally, it is no wonder that Manager Hao's self-doubt was finally led away by the nose.
Several players were silent for a while after listening, this really didn't come just by opening their mouths, just trying their luck to cheat.
At least it shows that Lu Qingjia is not at the same level as them, whether it is the control of details, the processing of information, or even the initiative and boldness of his actions.
Reminiscent of Lu Qingjia's great hospitality to Mrs. Li before, everyone immediately realized that Mrs. Li might have important clues.
The final evaluation rewards of the game are evaluated according to the performance of each dungeon. Although smart players can make friends with each other, there is still competition.
So several people politely introduced each other to Lu Qingjia, revealed some of their discoveries, and agreed that there were clues to exchange, and hurried to the restaurant.
At this moment all the guests have gone downstairs to eat.
Lu Qingjia was left alone in the entire hall. He browsed very fast and had a good memory. He quickly checked the people in the employee files with those he saw along the way, and used his mobile phone to search for some information from time to time.
Basically everyone is here, but there is only one——
Lu Qingjia took out that page——Wang Lingli, joined the company on October 200, 10X, just over a month before the hotel fire.
It was also during this period that the unified brand of cleaners originally used by the hotel had been replaced, probably due to a change of supplier.
Originally, this wasn't too abnormal, but it was too coincidental that the brand that was replaced would produce poisonous gas when mixed with Mrs. Li's usual brand.
And Lu Qingjia also saw in the maintenance memorandum that the toilet door lock of Mrs. Li's luxury suite was broken, and it often happened that it couldn't be opened inside.
It has been notified to report for repairs, but the efficiency of this kind of place can be imagined?
The cause and method of the whole incident, so far Lu Qingjia understood everything.
At this moment, the text message sent by Lu Qingjia also received a reply——
【Who are you? 】
Lu Qingjia showed a cosy smile, and typed a line [I'm just a person who appreciates your couple's taste in detergent. 】
[Your two wives have a strong chemical reaction in this regard. 】
There is no need to disclose too much, those who know just listen to these few keywords are enough.
Really panic over there【What do you want? 】
Lu Qingjia replied [1000 million, delivery at XX Hot Spring Villa at [-]:[-] three days later, if it is one second late, the transaction will be voided. 】
But there is one thing to say, Lu Qingjia's temperament can really bluff people.
