Chapter 211: Chapter 211: 196, Miss Color's Return as a Champion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Yang Hao was momentarily stunned, then he realized what Ye Wei meant by “one day, three meals.”

This really pertained to two matters!

And actually, they were indeed the most important matters in life, impossible to refute.

Yang Hao now really wanted to hand the steering wheel over to Ye Wei, “Come on, you drive. This will be steady as a rock.”

They drove for about twenty minutes, and then they arrived at the Haojue Club.

This club had five floors and a business area of 30,000 square meters. The total investment back then was over two hundred million, making it one of Jiangcheng’s top clubs.

But the club officially opened at one in the afternoon. As soon as Yang Hao parked the car, a security guard approached them, “Mr. Yang, our club isn’t open for business yet.”

The security guards at the Haojue Club were all young men who were no shorter than 175 cm. Without being exceptionally handsome, they at least had well-proportioned features, giving off a sense of neatness and efficiency.

“Liu, we’re not here to spend money.”

Ye Wei, who was sitting in the back seat, got out of the car first. This guard, named Liu Ming, was an old-timer at Haojue, and Ye Wei still remembered him.

“Wei?”

Half a year ago, when Ye Wei as a madam was a powerful figure at Haojue, Liu Ming naturally recognized her. However, after the Huang Family sold their shares in Haojue and she followed Mr. Huang in leaving, Liu Ming hadn’t expected to see her again today.

And Liu Ming was also aware that this Miss Wei had a fallout with Haojue’s current General Manager, Ying. Therefore, seeing Ye Wei all of a sudden came as a surprise to him.

“Has Zhang Ying arrived?”

Ye Wei asked directly.

“Mr. Zhang is here.”

Liu Ming nodded. The company’s group chat had sent out a notification the night before that the club had changed owners, so this morning, the club’s mid and senior-level leaders were all waiting for the new boss to arrive.

“That’s good.”

Ye Wei didn’t say much, just gently nodded her head.

At that moment, Huang Qing also got out of the car. Her outfit today was particularly eye-catching. Liu Ming glanced over subconsciously and then his eyes widened, “Mr. Huang??”

After seeing Ye Wei, Liu Ming had been silently wondering why Miss Wei had suddenly come to Haojue, and now he saw Mr. Huang, who had left in an awkward position in the past.

Moreover, Mr. Huang’s appearance today was quite different from what he remembered. His previous impression of Mr. Huang was that of a high-cold CEO.

But today, Mr. Huang presented a sense of both sexiness and solemnity, completely different from before.

“Liu, go ahead and notify them, just say the new boss has arrived!”

Ye Wei instructed.

“The new boss?”

Liu Ming paused for a moment and then looked at the man with whom he had just conversed.

Working as a security guard at Haojue, he had seen too many rich people, and the dress and demeanor of the man in front of him indeed matched that of the wealthy.

“Uh, okay!”

Liu Ming nodded and hurriedly ran into the store.

“I really can’t wait to see Zhang Ying’s face when she sees us!”

Ye Wei’s lips curved up unconsciously, then she turned to Huang Qing and said, “Qing, I think you should hook arms with Yang when making an entrance. That would be even better.”

“Hmm, that works for me.”

Yang Hao smiled and nodded, then bent his arm in cooperation.

And Huang Qing wasn’t one to make a fuss, so she immediately took the “big leg” extended by Mr. Yang.

That’s right, for Huang Qing at the moment, Yang Hao, the new owner of the Haojue Club, was indeed a pillar of support.

Although she wasn’t certain whether Yang Hao knew about her entanglements with the club, regardless, he had facilitated such a “king’s return” scenario.

Inside the club.

As the general manager, Zhang Ying was nervously waiting for the new owner to arrive. She had received the notice of the club’s change of ownership the previous night and had barely slept since.

After all, new kings bring their own courtiers, and she didn’t know what the new boss’s background was, whether he would take action against her position as general manager.

Zhang Ying had sold a good sister to secure her position, and during the Huang Family’s negotiation with the new boss to acquire shares, she had played quite a few tricks behind the scenes. She thought she could sit in the general manager’s position and make good money for a few years.

Yet, just when she had been general manager for half a year, the club was sold outright, and the new owner held 100% stake with absolute say.

“Ying, you don’t need to worry. If the new boss doesn’t need you, then we won’t stay either!”

“Right, if it comes to it, we’ll all leave together. There’s always a meal to be had somewhere else.”

“No matter how the ownership changes, someone still has to do the work, right? I don’t think the new boss will change the management. That wouldn’t be good for the club’s business.”

Zhang Ying’s two trusted subordinates began consoling her.

One was Han Weiling, the manager of the welcome department; the other Xu Libin, the marketing manager. Both were promoted by Zhang Ying herself.

“Mr. Zhang, the new boss has arrived.”

At that moment, Liu Ming rushed into the lavishly decorated club lobby, and his shout startled Zhang Ying and the others who were sitting in the rest area.

“The new boss is here?!”

Zhang Ying instinctively rose from the sofa and quickly ordered, “Notify everyone to come out and welcome them.”

Actually, all the mid and senior-level staff of the club were on standby, some sitting with Zhang Ying in the rest area, some in the office on the first floor.

Once an employee called out over the walkie-talkie, all mid and senior-level personnel and on-duty frontline service staff gathered in the lobby.

“Mr. Zhang, there’s something else.”

“I saw Mr. Huang and Wei…”

Liu Ming leaned in and whispered to Zhang Ying.

“Do you mean Huang Qing and Ye Wei?”

“What are they doing here?” Zhang Ying immediately frowned.

“They…”

Liu Ming was about to speak when the automatic doors slowly opened to either side.

In the presence of several dozen onlookers in the hall, Huang Qing, arm in arm with Yang Hao, walked through the club she knew so well.

Ye Wei followed behind the two, a smug smile on her face.

“Mr. Huang??”

“Wei?”

It had been only half a year since Huang Qing and Ye Wei left Haojue Club, and apart from their own confidants, many of the old staff had not resigned and recognized Huang Qing, the former general manager of the club, and Ye Wei, the manager of the service department.

Everyone knew about the grievances between Huang Qing and the current general manager, Zhang Ying, so their gazes involuntarily shifted to Zhang Ying upon seeing Huang Qing.

Intuition told everyone that there was drama ahead!

Zhang Ying and her two trusted associates, Han Weiling and Xu Libin, were all completely dumbfounded.

Their brains worked furiously.

Liu Ming had said the new boss had arrived.

The ones who entered were three people: Ye Wei, Huang Qing, and the strange man whom Huang Qing was clinging to.

Ye Wei certainly could not be the new boss, and Zhang Ying was very clear about Huang Qing’s situation; she knew that the other party had opened a foot bath city of modest scale, a mere tiddler compared to the whale that was Haojue Club.

The fall of the Huang Family was common knowledge within the circles; Huang Qing naturally did not have the ability to acquire Haojue Club.

Eliminating those two left the mysterious man as the new boss.

However, at that moment, Huang Qing was tightly linked to the man, obviously in a relationship not to be trifled with.

Not only the old hands at the club knew it, but even ordinary people could see that Mr. Huang had found a backer and was making a powerful comeback.

Upon realizing this, Xu Libin, who had been standing next to Zhang Ying, instinctively took a couple of steps back to distance himself from her.

Resigning together?

What a joke!

Clubs of Haojue’s caliber in Jiangcheng were few and far between—finding a comparable position after leaving would be all too difficult.

Staying put was the best option.

Han Weiling also quietly took a half-step back; her thoughts were similar to Xu Libin’s, only she was more tightly bound to Zhang Ying. Staying would likely require Huang Qing’s approval, so she had already prepared herself to “atone for her sins.”

“Are you Mr. Yang?”

Although Zhang Ying was frantic, she still mustered the courage to greet him.

All she knew was that the new boss’s surname was Yang, beyond that she had no information.

“Hmm.”

Yang Hao nodded slightly and then looked Zhang Ying up and down. She appeared to be in her early thirties, with better than average looks and dressed in a tight, light purple long dress. If one ignored the face, the body was still quite good.

“You must be Manager Zhang, right?”

Yang Hao asked.

“Yes, my name is Zhang Ying.”

Yang Hao nodded slightly, “Mr. Zhou told me about you at the law firm when we were doing the paperwork.”

“He said you’re very capable and have managed the club well.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying hurriedly responded, “Actually, I just do my best to carry out my responsibilities and take care of the shop for the bosses.”

“Ying is indeed very dedicated, I can attest to that,” Ye Wei said, grinning, “Yang, when the Huang Family was selling their shares in Haojue Club, Ying certainly had put in a lot of effort!”

“And then she smoothly took over the position of general manager.”@@novelbin@@

“Stabbing a good sister in the back to climb up, it’s not just dedication, it’s outright ruthless!”

Ye Wei fired the opening salvo, her gaze disdainful as she stared at Zhang Ying.

Meanwhile, the onlookers around them all had expressions of excitement; they had predicted some juicy drama upon seeing Huang Qing and Ye Wei’s return.

Yet no one expected Ye Wei to be so direct and uncover Zhang Ying’s ugly past right away.

At that moment, Zhang Ying’s complexion turned ashen. She had been clinging to a sliver of hope, at least to leave in a dignified manner.

But it seemed that leaving gracefully was no longer an option; Ye Wei and Huang Qing had clearly come for “revenge.”

“Mr. Yang, I have limited abilities, and I would like to submit my resignation to you now.”

“Wishing you prosperous business…”

Zhang Ying was a sensible person; she knew staying would only add insult to injury, so she took the initiative to resign.

Having said that, she walked towards the exit of the club.

She wanted to leave this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

However, just as she had taken two steps, the silent Huang Qing suddenly spoke, “You can resign, but we will thoroughly investigate any embezzlement you might have engaged in while on duty.”

“If there is solid evidence, we will call the police.”

At her words, Zhang Ying’s steps faltered. She knew full well what embezzlement meant, and she faced over ten years in prison if it was serious enough.

As the general manager of the club, her hands were certainly not clean. If they really looked into it, problems would undoubtedly be found.

But in front of so many people, she couldn’t simply buckle and confess on the spot.

She silently clenched her teeth, wanting to retort but lacking the confidence to do so, ultimately choosing to quickly leave the scene.

The crowd hadn’t expected Zhang Ying to flee so fast and were somewhat disappointed—they had been looking forward to a scene of confrontation.

But they were clearly expecting too much—people like Zhang Ying might be disloyal or have flawed characters, but they were definitely not fools; they knew when to cut their losses.

Seeing things go south, why would she wait to be humiliated?

“Boss, I have some evidence of Zhang Ying using her position for personal gain,” Xu Libin said, sidling up to Yang Hao with a sycophantic expression.

Yang Hao looked at the first person to take a stab at Zhang Ying and smiled, nodding his head. Such people were annoying, but from a business owner’s perspective, the company did indeed need them.
