Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 687, Section 277: The Unspoken Rules of the Entertainment Industry
The underlings ask for very little, but the bosses can give even less.

A good manager must highlight strengths and downplay weaknesses.

Guo Guohao is a case in point. He is very generous to his core and capable subordinates. He can give them everything that even their fathers cannot.

Care, respect, promotion, and money—Guo Guohao had it all, but he was very picky. He only wanted Juan Wang as his core confidant and subordinate, and didn't need ordinary employees.

Peach Girl is currently building her own small team. Her family isn't exactly a top-tier wealthy family, but they're the kind of people who can sit at the same table as Li Ka-shing, have meals and chat, play golf every day, and occasionally make phone calls to each other.

They have no shortage of money, no shortage of business, no shortage of connections with the upper echelons, and they also have a very good relationship with foreigners.

The big shots love this kind of boss because these rich young men and women don't fight over petty gains and are generous. All they need to do is make more contributions and handle more cases to get promoted and make money.

The way the O-Team members looked at Peach Blossom Girl changed slightly; they were all reassessing this usually mischievous newcomer.

"work!"

Peach Blossom noticed everyone's gazes, but she didn't show it. Instead, she clapped her hands and told the workers to get to work.

The men surrounding Peach Blossom Girl said "Yes, sir!" and then dispersed to their respective positions.

Peach Blossom Girl also got into the car, waved her hand, and let Lighter come closer.

"You have a sharp eye! You saw right through it!"

"Boo! Absolutely amazing! You're a god!"

Peach Blossom Girl had a cigarette dangling from her mouth, her gaze fixed on the Dragon Palace Nightclub not far away, muttering unrelated words.

"hey-hey!"

Lighter chuckled. Since he had already taken the initiative to bet, and Peach Blossom Girl had kept her promise last time, letting him take the spotlight at the press conference.

Many newspapers published his photo. When the little boy came home from school, he was all beaming. He said that his classmates were very envious when they saw their father on the cover of the newspaper.

"I used to be in the decency department. After being there for a long time, I naturally know who has problems, who doesn't, and who is pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

“Sister Peach Blossom, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau said that Inspector Kwok is planning to make Brother A the deputy leader of Group A, and then gradually take over the position when the time is right.”

"You are only an inspector now, not a senior inspector, but with three major cases in a row, your merits and commendations are enough. The only thing you're lacking now is age. Wait two or three years, and you're guaranteed to be a senior inspector."

"Brother Ding Gou was lucky to meet you, Sister Tao Hua. He was about to go to the logistics department to check parking spaces, but you stepped in and solved several cases in a row, giving Brother Ding Gou the possibility to continue climbing the ranks."

“Sister Peach Blossom, as long as Brother Ding Gou doesn’t move from his position, you won’t be the team leader. If your position isn’t right, your words won’t be proper. I know this sounds disgusting and despicable, but I’ve chosen to be on this ship, so I have to say it.”

“If you don’t strive for higher positions, even a bunch of seasoned veterans like us won’t be able to handle Sanchai.”

The lighter spoke very frankly, and added a hint that many of the old hands in the group who used to support Ding Gou have now switched to supporting Tao Hua Mei.

Feng Shui turns around!
Peach Blossom Girl smiled and said, "Brother Ding Gou is a ruthless character who doesn't speak up until he does, and when he does, he's a force to be reckoned with. You've misjudged him, but it's not your fault. You're all a bunch of bespectacled kids who can see far but not up close."

"Push to the street!"

"Let's get to work! There's plenty of time, plenty of years to go! Let's take it one step at a time!"

After finishing speaking, Peach Blossom Girl threw her cigarette butt on the ground and listened intently to the walkie-talkie. It seemed that tonight would be a sleepless night! After waiting for ten minutes, Bai Fengying came out of the public restroom next door. She had put on a pink wig, a sexy Valentino dress, and a pair of high heels.

She stood in front of the sports car prepared by the Criminal Intelligence Division, waiting for her other colleagues from the division.

Two members of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau's surveillance team quickly appeared in front of the sports car. The three of them put the walkie-talkie into one of the female colleagues' large backpacks and got into the car.

Sitting in her car, Peach Blossom Girl looked at the three people and shook her head helplessly. If the brothel attendant wasn't blind, these three wouldn't even get a private room or a booth; they would only be able to sit at the regular tables.

Outrageous!

Bai Fengxian quickly got out of the car, walked briskly to Tao Huamei's car, waved to Huoji to move aside, and only after Huoji had gone far away did she prepare to speak.

"No need to explain, I understand!"

Peach Blossom Girl immediately recognized Bai Fengxian's purpose for coming. She took out her wallet, pulled out the photos and checks, and left the various membership cards inside. After all, all the department stores recognized her face, so even if she lost them, she could just get replacements.

I send my bills to my dad's company; the finance department pays them for me, so I don't need cash.

"Drive your car directly to the parking spot, drop off two red snapper tickets, and you don't need to say anything more or wait. A waiter will give you a number."

"The waiter who opens the door, give me a piece of red snapper, no need to hand it over, just fold it in half and throw it to me."

"Dragon Palace Nightclub charges a service fee, but you also have to tip the waiters, two hundred yuan per person, just throw it on the table."

There are unspoken rules when it comes to entertainment venues. The waiters all have a snobbish eye; they know whether you're a nouveau riche or whether you have money in your pocket.

Peach Blossom Girl thought for a moment and then added, "I'd like a bottle of Grey Goose from France, two bottles of Louis Roederer champagne, a fruit platter, and a seafood platter."

"This is a Dragon Palace membership card, not the top-tier one. It was given to me by someone else, it's anonymous, and has nothing to do with me."

"Remember to bring the bill back; you can get reimbursed from the finance director."

"As for cash, report the amount you spent to Brother A, and remember to return it to me after you get reimbursed!"

After explaining the details, Peach Blossom Girl handed the wallet to Bai Fengxian.

Dragon Palace Nightclub is a den of iniquity; a single night there can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. Bai Fengxian would absolutely not be willing to spend two or three months' salary on such a night.

Using Peach Blossom Girl's card is a different story! Although it's a sneaky thing to do, no matter how prestigious the position or how impressive the title, when it comes to paying the bill, you'll be in a real mess.

Not to mention himself, even people like Lei Luo and Yan Tong, when they enter Du Laozhi's Shanghai City, they still have to pay money, because they can't afford to offend these brothel owners.

With a flick of your finger, you can make yourself miserable for a year or two. When you go out to have fun, you're there to have an experience, not to suffer.

"Thank you!"

"I'll urge Brother A to get the reimbursement sorted out as soon as possible!"

Bai Fengxian memorized the location of the membership card, silently recited what Peach Blossom Girl had said, got back into the sports car, restarted it, and drove to the entrance of the Dragon Palace Nightclub.
