Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 192 Secrets from the Past

When Xu Wen and Gu Xingruo arrived at the meeting room, there were already quite a few people standing inside.

Yes, there were quite a few people standing there.

There was a chair in front of him, but no one was sitting there.

Looking through the crowd, Xu Wen knew the reason. He saw a familiar figure right in front of the conference table.

He just sat there, and no one present dared to look up at him.

This is the real boss of Chengyi Hotel and also the boss of Hongjing Industrial. His name is Gu Hong, and everyone usually calls him Mr. Gu.

When he appeared, everyone stood and he was the only one sitting.

However, Gu Xingruo, who had just arrived, didn't care about that. He seemed to not understand the atmosphere at all and just found a seat at the conference table and sat down.

The sound of chairs being pulled became the only sound in the conference room.

Gu Xingruo could do this because she was Gu Hong's daughter and usually seldom gave face to her father, and it was the same now.

Xu Wen also pulled out a chair and sat down next to him.

The reason why he could do this was very simple. He was not from Hongjing Industrial, so what did he have to be afraid of?

Then the scene became that everyone was standing, with only the three of them sitting.

After Xu Wen sat down, he began to look around, while also looking at Gu Hong in the front.

He really didn't understand why he came here in person. Was there something here that could only be solved by him personally?

When Xu Wen looked at Gu Hong, he noticed that the president was also looking at him at the same time.

After discovering this, he did not avoid her gaze, but smiled and nodded as a greeting.

What surprised him was that Gu Hong actually nodded at him.

"What do you mean by this?" Gu Xingruo who was standing by also noticed this and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, just a greeting." Xu Wen replied in a low voice.

While the two were whispering, Gu Hong, who had been sitting in the main seat, finally spoke up: "I don't have any purpose for coming here today. I just want to see how you work."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it sounded extremely oppressive.

In order to hear him clearly, the people around him even lowered their breathing.

This was the first time that Xu Wen saw Gu Hong's prestige in the company. When he spoke, no one dared to explain.

From this perspective, he was lowering his status a bit by personally suing Gu Xingruo in the name of Gu Xingruo's father in his previous life.

While waiting for what Gu Hong would say next, Xu Wen was also observing Yan Hui and the others.

It looks like they have collected all the evidence they need to collect.

I thought they were going to participate in the investigation together, but in the end they just had to listen to the results directly.

"Based on my current understanding, it seems that everyone's work is not handled well." Gu Hong said in a flat tone and he didn't seem angry at all.

But when Xu Wen observed the people standing around him and saw that they didn't even dare to breathe, he realized that the whispering was the most terrifying.

The boss spoke very little. He just said a few simple words to express that everyone had done their job well. Then he didn't say anything else and just sat down in his office chair and started fiddling with his phone.

After the boss finishes speaking, it is the turn of the younger brothers to speak.

Yan Hui raised the various file bags in her hands and said in a serious tone: "After our investigation over this period of time, we found that there are many problems in the hotel."

Things didn't develop quite as Xu Wen expected. He originally thought that he would be able to take down Zhang Zhiyuan directly, but he ended up dealing with the small fry first.

Some of these people are supervisors in management positions, and some are grassroots staff.

The mistakes they made were varied, the more serious of which were related to money. Basically, people in lucrative positions embezzled company funds or took kickbacks.

The rest are related to people. They fill all the positions in the hotel with their relatives.

Of course, some of them are related to management.

But Xu Wen didn't want to see these. What he wanted to see was how Gu Hong would deal with Zhang Zhiyuan.

He found the manager among a crowd of standing people.

Although he stood with his head down and a humble attitude, there was no trace of panic in his expression. He was completely different from those who had just been named, as if the farce before him had nothing to do with him.

Xu Wen didn't know where his confidence came from.

But if we have to find a reason, it must be because of Gu Hong.

He guessed that Zhang Zhiyuan might have been deliberately arranged by the president as a father to train his daughter.

But if this is really the reason, then why is Gu Hong acting out such a drama now?
Xu Wen was a little confused. He sat in the chair and continued watching.

Everyone whose name was called out by Yan Hui was terrified. Some of them explained, some defended themselves, and some begged for mercy.

Xu Wen felt that this was not the ancient times, otherwise these people would have knelt directly in front of Gu Hong.

They were all struggling, but Yan Hui didn't give them any chance. She even pretended not to hear them at all and just continued to recite mercilessly.

Those who were called out were devastated, and those who were not called out were also terrified.

"The hotel has many problems in its operations, which I will not elaborate on, but so many of the problems below are closely related to the management negligence of the top management." Yan Hui lowered her head to organize the documents, and it seemed that she had said everything she needed to say.

When she mentioned the senior management, Zhang Zhiyuan finally stood out from the crowd.

He said in a serious tone: "I didn't expect the hotel to have so many loopholes. Thank you Director Yan for helping me find them. I will definitely deal with them seriously and try to give an explanation to the head office at the end of the year."

When Xu Wen heard this, he always felt that Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have a feeling that "everything that happened in the hotel has nothing to do with me."

He neither explained nor quibbled, but only said that the matter would be dealt with seriously.

Xu Wen looked at Gu Hong who was sitting in the main seat, wanting to see his reaction.

After all, Zhang Zhiyuan locked his precious daughter in the elevator, which was basically no different from murder.

But when he looked over, he found that he was still fiddling with his phone, indifferent to everything happening around him.

"Manager Zhang, please don't speak for now, because you have the most and most complicated things to say, so I will talk about them last." Yan Hui stretched out her hand and made a "stop" gesture, signaling him to shut up first.

Xu Wen saw disgust in her eyes, undisguised disgust that everyone around could see.

Zhang Zhiyuan scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard her say this: "I have always been dedicated to the company."

Yan Hui ignored this harmless excuse and started to present evidence and tell the facts directly.

Xu Wen thought they would start with the power outage, but what they started with was something he had no idea about.

Yan Hui said that Zhang Zhiyuan had private relationships with many partner companies, and he sold inferior items to the hotel, and even embezzled funds allocated by the head office.

After hearing these things, Zhang Zhiyuan's expression finally changed. For the first time, nervousness appeared on his calm face.

"You don't have to think about how to quibble. Since I dare to say it, it means that we both have evidence." Yan Hui slammed a pile of documents on the table.

Xu Wen now understands.

Gu Hong didn't want to punish Zhang Zhiyuan, he wanted to beat him to death.

But since we already have the evidence, wouldn't it be better to just take him down privately?
Is it worth going through so much effort?

This always made him feel like he was using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"What I am mainly talking about now is the power outage that caused huge losses to the hotel." Yan Hui continued.

Xu Wen didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Zhang Zhiyuan's expression seemed to be much more relaxed after hearing these words.

"According to our investigation, the power outage was caused by a failure in the power supply system, but the failure was caused by human factors." Yan Hui operated the computer and played several video clips.

"Through these videos, we now have reason to suspect that the power outage was caused by you. Not only did it cause huge losses to the hotel, it also caused Miss Gu and Teacher Xu to be trapped in the elevator and almost had an accident. We will hand over all this evidence to the police." She began a series of outputs, without giving Zhang Zhiyuan a chance to explain.

Xu Wen looked at the surveillance video on the screen and found that the power outage in the entire hotel was indeed caused by human manipulation.

However, Zhang Zhiyuan did not delete such important surveillance video, and instead it fell into the hands of Yan Hui.

After seeing the surveillance video above, Gu Xingruo slammed the table and stood up from the chair: "I didn't offend you much, did I? You just can't stand me and want to kill me?"

After watching the surveillance video, Zhang Zhiyuan finally showed an expression of fear.

He did not explain to anyone, but ran directly to Gu Hong: "Boss Gu, I checked the elevator carefully before the power outage yesterday. I really did not intend to trap the young lady in the elevator. I did not expect that she would take the elevator at that time."

This explanation left everyone present confused.

Not only the bystanders, but even Gu Xingruo, the person involved, didn't understand what this meant.

What does “check the elevator carefully” mean?
After hearing this, Xu Wen suddenly realized something.

He guessed from the beginning that everything that happened in the hotel was arranged in advance by Gu Hong.

What Zhang Zhiyuan said just now just confirmed his guess.

What about the elevator incident? Was it really an accident?
While Xu Wen was still thinking, Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "Boss Gu, Boss Gu, you asked me to test the young lady here, and you see I have already done it."

He smiled flatteringly, with all the features on his face piled together.

After hearing this, Gu Hong finally put down his phone.

He looked down at Zhang Zhiyuan who was squatting beside him: "I told you to take good care of Ruoruo and not let her get wronged. What did you hear?"

After saying this, he went back to playing with his phone.

After this conversation, Gu Xingruo's brain was a little confused. Test? What test? Did she mean that everything she experienced here was arranged by her father?
Xu Wen looked at Zhang Zhiyuan and sighed silently for him in his heart.

Perhaps Gu Hong asked him to do all those things, including causing the power outage.

But he shouldn't have said it out loud, but insisted that he did it.

Xu Wen has always understood one thing: when the leader is tough enough, the black gloves can only kill him with one bite. Only if he does everything by himself can he have a glimmer of hope, otherwise it will be a dead end no matter what he does.

Zhang Zhiyuan had already betrayed Gu Hong before he even reached a dead end. How could this end well?

"Manager Zhang, we have solid evidence for everything you did. Any one of them can put you in jail for several years." Yan Hui threatened.

Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have not heard anything and continued to plead with Gu Hong: "Boss Gu, I have done everything you asked me to do. You asked me to do this! I don't understand why? Why?"

Xu Wen's eyes darkened when he heard this. How could one beg for mercy in this way?
He felt that it would be better for Zhang Zhiyuan to take the initiative to take responsibility for everything and say that he did it all.

Now everything is clear, all the hotel affairs were arranged by Gu Hong.

There was only one thing Xu Wen didn't understand now. He set up such a big scheme just to trap a small hotel manager?
There is absolutely no need to do this with Gu Hong's status. If he doesn't like it, wouldn't it be better to just fire him?
"I have no involvement in the management of Chengyi Hotel. Don't say that I asked you to do it. If there is anything you can't figure out, I will find a place for you to think about it." Gu Hong said without raising his head.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that this place was referring to the prison, and he was determined to send Zhang Zhiyuan there.

Since Gu Hong has said so, Xu Wen feels that this farce should end.

What followed was a major reshuffle of the hotel management, with all employees replaced.

But what he didn't expect was that the climax of the farce was just about to begin.

"Gu Laowu! Do you think you are so powerful now that you are the boss? If the old man were still here, would you dare to do this to me?" Zhang Zhiyuan roared at the top of his lungs, no longer as calm as before.

From the beginning to now, Gu Hong frowned for the first time, but he quickly relaxed his brows.

He looked at Zhang Zhiyuan as if he was watching a joke.

After hearing this, Xu Wen suddenly felt as if the amount of information exploded, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

"You are just a gigolo who lives on your looks and a coward who lives off women. You are pretending to be a decent person now, but have you forgotten how you were like a dog before?" Zhang Zhiyuan began to scold Gu Hong, pointing at his nose.

The bodyguards guarding outside the hotel finally came up from downstairs and dragged the man out.

"The old man and the eldest daughter both fell into your hands. I was blind to believe you at the beginning!" Zhang Zhiyuan was still shouting at the top of his lungs before leaving.

But when he was about to say something, his mouth was covered.

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "young lady".

But he quickly realized that Zhang Zhiyuan was not talking about Gu Xingruo, but someone else.

He felt as if he had heard some extraordinary secret of a wealthy family. If it had happened in ancient times, he would probably have been killed to silence him.

While everyone was looking at the struggling Zhang Zhiyuan, Xu Wen looked at Gu Hong.

There was no expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all about what had just been said.

After the bodyguard dragged Zhang Zhiyuan out, Gu Hong also waved to the people standing there: "Let's go. Those who made mistakes can go to the finance department to collect their wages and leave."

The amounts owed to some of them have reached the standard for conviction.

After hearing Gu Hong say that he could just leave, he didn't even bother to watch the fun and ran faster than a rabbit.

Soon, everyone in the conference room left.

Xu Wen also planned to leave.

But just as he stood up, Gu Hong stopped him: "Xu Wen, right? Wait a minute."
