Chapter 41: General Manager Tang Wenjiang:
Qin Sisi had long heard Lu Yu and Li Xiaorou talking at the door. Hearing Li Xiaorou wanted a cold cola, she got up, went to the kitchen, took out a bottle of cola, and handed it to her.
"Here, your cola. Drink less of this stuff, it'll make you gain weight."
Lu Yu’s house had two refrigerators, both were huge. Inside, there wasn’t just cola but also all sorts of beer and beverages.
“I’m not afraid of getting fat!” Li Xiaorou pouted and, without any hesitation, opened the cap and gulped it down.

Lu Yu, however, was curious. “Hey, little girl, your Li family is this generous?”
“This is one of the most famous five-star hotels in Rongcheng. I remember it cost over a billion to build. Now, it should be worth even more!”
“And it’s just given to me?”
“Don’t you want it?”
Li Xiaorou took a big gulp of cola and gasped for breath.
“Of course I want it!” Lu Yu grinned. “Why would I refuse something for free?”
With that, Lu Yu, having finished reading the contract, promptly signed his name on it without any hesitation.
Mingyue Hotel?
This hotel was quite famous in the original novel. It was initially given to Chen Bansheng by Li Guohua!
Chen Bansheng didn't disappoint, using the hotel to show off and humiliate various characters repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, now this thing had fallen into his hands?
“Brother Yu, aren’t you even going to pretend to refuse?”
It was evident that Qin Sisi’s personality had changed quite a bit, as she now felt comfortable joking with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was in a good mood. “We’re all young people, no need for those pretentious things.”
“Besides, I saved Old Master Li’s life. Isn’t his life worth this much money?”
“Exactly, Sister Sisi, my grandpa’s life is priceless. A five-star hotel is nothing,” Li Xiaorou echoed.
In any world, the rich and the poor were vastly different.
Take life, for example.
Saving Li Guohua earned him a five-star hotel as a thank you gift.
Yet, if a construction worker died on the job, a compensation of one million would be considered generous from the developer.
“Alright, whatever you say.”
Qin Sisi sighed. “Brother Yu, are you hungry now?”
“Oh! Right!” Hearing this, Lu Yu came back to his senses and looked at Li Xiaorou. “I need to ask Auntie to cook. You interrupted me earlier, and I almost forgot! What do you want to eat, little girl?”
“Why cook?” Li Xiaorou exclaimed. “You just got a five-star hotel. Shouldn’t you treat us to a feast?”
“Stop it!”
Lu Yu pouted. “Your family is so rich; haven’t you eaten everything? Besides, I haven’t figured anything out yet, and you want to mooch a meal off me?”
“That’s exactly why you should treat us. It’s a good opportunity to check things out,” Li Xiaorou said matter-of-factly.
“Uh...”
Lu Yu paused, thinking she had a point. The hotel just came into his possession, and it did need to be checked over.
With this thought, Lu Yu immediately made a decision.
“You’re right. Fine, let’s go to Mingyue Hotel to eat.”
“Now you’re talking. Sister Sisi, let’s go...”
In Rongcheng, there were several five-star hotels. However, Mingyue Hotel was definitely among the top three.
Not only was the service excellent, but the location and decor were also top-notch. Moreover, the hotel offered a wide variety of dining options, and the food was among the best in Rongcheng.
Tang Wenjiang, in his forties, was the general manager of Mingyue Hotel. He had a tall and imposing figure, exuding confidence.
He managed all the affairs, big and small, of Mingyue Hotel. Because the hotel was Li Guohua’s private property, his only superior here was Li Guohua. Even Li Yi had to speak to him as an equal.
However, he had already received notification from Li Guohua. The hotel had been completely transferred to Lu Yu, and he was now required to follow Lu Yu’s lead.
Lu Yu was the son of Lu Mingyuan, whom Tang Wenjiang knew very well. What he didn’t understand was why Li Guohua made this arrangement and why he would transfer the hotel to Lu Yu without compensation.
“Uncle Tang!”
A cheerful and lively voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Oh? Haha!”
He turned around and couldn’t help but smile when he saw who it was. “Xiaorou? What brings you here?”
“Hehe, I’m here to introduce someone to you!”
Li Xiaorou stepped aside and pointed to Lu Yu behind her. “Here, this is Lu Yu, your new boss.”
“Lu Yu?”
Tang Wenjiang was stunned, then respectfully looked at Lu Yu. “Are you Lu Yu?”
“That’s right!”
“Wow, so young and promising. Young Master Lu, why didn’t you inform us in advance? I could’ve made preparations.”
Although the boss had changed, he was absolutely loyal to Li Guohua and had no objections to his arrangements. It didn’t matter who he worked for as long as Lu Yu didn’t mess things up.
“Haha, I’m not one for grand gestures,” Lu Yu chuckled.
Tang Wenjiang also laughed. “I didn’t expect you to be so young and yet prefer to keep a low profile. Rare indeed.”
“Alright, Uncle Tang, stop dawdling. I’m starving,” Li Xiaorou said, clutching her stomach and pouting. “Hurry and arrange a place for us to eat!”
“Hahaha! Alright, alright! Come, Young Master Lu, this way, please.”
Tang Wenjiang made a gesture of invitation at the stairway entrance. Lu Yu nodded and walked ahead.
Tang Wenjiang, being very experienced, led Lu Yu to the VIP room on the 28th floor and instructed others not to disturb them.
While Qin Sisi and Li Xiaorou were ordering dishes, he gave Lu Yu a rundown of the hotel’s general structure.
As time passed, Lu Yu got a good understanding of the situation. The ordered gourmet food was also brought up.
At this moment, a female manager knocked on the private room door.
“Mr. Tang, there’s trouble in the VIP room downstairs. Please come and check!”
