Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 112 The Third Master's Treasure (asking for monthly tickets)
This morning, the entire dining area of ​​the Flatiron Hotel, whether it was the chefs or the waiters, whether it was the guests or the weightlifters, was excitedly discussing one thing.

Wen Ming, the owner of the Flatiron Hotel, just acquired the Wenxi Building worth US$8.8 million.

In everyone's eyes, this is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

The Flatiron Hotel is just a 16-story building with only 256 guest rooms.

The Wenxi Building is a 100-meter-tall, 36-story building with a total of 700 guest rooms!
This is no longer a simple doubling of the quantity, it is a step up of several levels.

After all, the Flatiron Hotel is very old, and many of its space planning and utilization are not as good as the Vinci Hotel, which was built less than 20 years ago.

The asset values ​​of both parties differ by several times.

And the fact that such a large hotel was taken over by Wen Ming in such a short time attracted many people's attention.

Some people had already heard about the attacks on Wen Ming and Flora, owners of the Flatiron Hotel, some time ago, and also heard about the collusion between the Wenxi Hotel and the Qiaotou Gang. Everyone thought that these things would take some time to come to fruition.

Who knew that Wen Ming's methods were so powerful that he could swallow the elephant in such a short time.

Isn’t he afraid of getting an upset stomach?
"What was Wolven Hansen thinking? He was defeated so quickly?"

"Why do I feel like it's over before it even started?"

"He's a billionaire, richer than all of us now."

……

Compared to the shock of the guests and weight lifters, the employees of the Flatiron Hotel were all excited.

The boss has such strong financial strength, which means that my job is more stable.

There is hope only if you follow a boss like this.

We will try to make our Flatiron Hotel the best hotel in the metropolitan area as soon as possible.

Just when all the employees in the hotel were working hard, Wen Ming met Xiao Lajiao.

"This surprise of yours is really huge."

Pepper looked at the pile of documents in front of her desk and felt that she couldn't keep up with the pace. "I've only been back for a few days, and you've already taken over the Vinci Hotel?"

"Third time is enough. They've already attacked me three times, so don't blame me for killing them."

Wen Ming was in high spirits at this moment, not feeling the discomfort of staying up late at all. "That's perfect. I also want to test whether your range of activities in the Metaverse will expand after I take over the Wenxi Hotel."

Perkins and Rebecca, who were standing behind Wen Ming, lit up their eyes almost at the same time.

Yes!

The scope of the Flatiron Hotel has expanded. Does this mean that I can go further in this metaverse?
Both women were excited and couldn't help but go downstairs to try it out.

Pepper also looked at Wen Ming with some surprise: "You are so smart. You actually thought of this way to test the space crack."

"Go downstairs and take a look around, see if you can walk further."

Seeing that Perkins and Rebecca were already getting a little impatient, Wen Ming stopped trying to stop them and let them go ahead with the test. He then walked over to Pepper and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. I don't know much about these acquisitions, so I asked the Queen of the Sea to help me with it."

"Don't worry, I won't let your salary go to waste."

Pepper tucked the blonde hair that fell in front of her eyes behind her ears, lowered her head and began to work.

However, a green herb appeared in front of her.

"This is?"

Pepper looked up at Wen Ming in confusion, and a gentle smile appeared on Wen Ming's face.

"This is a herbal remedy made from green herbs from the world of Resident Evil. Eat it, and the wound on your forehead will heal in a few minutes. It should help you get rid of the scar."

"Is this so magical?"

Pepper looked at the green herbs in front of her with great surprise. She couldn't wait to pick them up, and Wen Ming handed the cup of water to her.

Pepper's eyes flashed with gratitude and emotion. She said thank you and put the herb into her mouth.

The herbs melt in your mouth.

Before Pepper could even take a sip of water, the herbs had already gone down her esophagus into her stomach. Then she noticed that the scabbed wound on her forehead began to become numb and itchy.

"Yeah, it's so itchy!"

Pepper couldn't help but moan softly, then quickly covered her mouth.

Two blushes quickly appeared on her face.

shameful.

But this tingling feeling is really unbearable!
"Use a mirror to check. I also want to know if it will remove the scars."

Wen Ming pretended not to hear and urged Pepper.

Pepper quickly took out a small mirror from her bag.

A few seconds later, Pepper jumped up from her boss chair in surprise: "Thank you, thank you Wen Ming! There really is no scar left!"

For a woman, no matter how much power or money she has, it is better to remove a scar for her.

Wen Ming's gift filled Pepper with surprise and touching moments.

Wen Ming smiled happily: "I said, this is a work injury, I have to take responsibility!"

The corners of Pepper's mouth kept rising: "With such a good boss like you, I suddenly don't want to just do this part-time job."

Wen Ming was happy: "I have a place here for you at any time."

That's if Tony doesn't kill me.

Wen Ming stood up and walked out. He wanted to go back to the house to rest for a while, but he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped: "Oh, by the way, there is a weekly meeting this morning. I hope you can attend. You'd better change your makeup and be more low-key."

"Weekly meeting? What's that?"

Pepper looked at Wen Ming in astonishment, while Wen Ming looked at her in confusion: "Doesn't Stark Industries hold regular meetings?"

Pepper was even more shocked: "Why do we need to hold a regular meeting?"

Well, this is a nesting doll problem.

Wen Ming did not explain any more, but instead notified everyone who had been prepared to enter the meeting room.

Today's meeting is very grand.

All the people above the supervisor level from the Flatiron Hotel came.

At the meeting, Wen Ming did not waste time talking. He first asked each department to report on their work last week, and reviewed and discussed the plans submitted by all of them. Only after everything was finalized did he begin to issue instructions.

"Susie, quickly recruit people. I hope to see the handover of the Wenxi Hotel completed within three days, and I want to see the Wenxi Hotel operating normally again within a week.

It would be even better if we could find enough temporary workers to absorb tomorrow’s carnival traffic!

This is a bit of a task, but I believe you can do it.

Oh, by the way, the name of the Wenxi Hotel has become history. From now on, there will only be the Flatiron Hotel, and the Wenxi Building will also be changed to Flatiron Building 2.

At the same time, in order to maintain the safety of the two buildings, the Iron Security Company was established today.

Susie, you need to recruit 30 veterans for me within a week. Yes, I only want veterans, not ordinary people..."

Aunt Susie quickly recorded each of Wen Ming's requests.

Now that the Flatiron Hotel has swallowed up the Vinci Hotel, it is the perfect time to show off one's strength. As long as one does well, one will surely gain the boss's favor and appreciation, so Aunt Susie's high morale has been burning.

I want to win back Tara's lost trust.

Pepper wore a pair of brown glasses, and her hair was not tied up in a ponytail as usual but was loose. She sat next to Wen Ming and listened to the whole process.

She had just listened to the plan and work reports from various departments, as well as the discussion led by Wen Ming among all the supervisors and above, and immediately felt that this was a good way to pool ideas.

Even if some people have limited education and knowledge, they can provide more ideas for decision maker Wen Ming by examining the hotel's overall improvement and performance plans from their own positions.

This boss knows how to leverage strengths, avoid weaknesses, and manage a team beyond imagination!

Much better than that guy Tony.

……

The meeting went smoothly and everyone spoke freely. Wang Xi, who was sitting next to Wen Ming, was quickly recording the minutes of the meeting, while Belinda kept pouring water for everyone.

Wen Ming, who was listening to Robert's marketing plan and the hotel's overall improvement plan, sensed Wang Xi's nervousness and thought she was worried about missing something. He smiled and comforted her, "It's okay if you make a mistake. Bring me the meeting minutes later. Once I've reviewed them and are satisfied, you can send them to the various departments."

"thank you boss."

Wang Xi quickly collected his thoughts and recorded Wen Ming's next instruction.

Belinda glanced at Wang Xi casually, then added water to Wen Ming's cup.

“Robert, your plans are all good, but they still need to be adjusted.

Now that we have Building 2, many functional areas are duplicated. In order to maximize the use of all functional areas, our two buildings need to be replanned."

Robert quickly said, "Boss, although we have two buildings, our spaces are not connected. How can the functional areas be linked?"

"Isn't there just a little alley between us?"

Wen Ming looked at Robert: “The land in this alley, half belonged to the Wenxi Building, and half belonged to the Flatiron Building, and now it all belongs to me.

So, we just need to sort out the paperwork to connect the two buildings.”

Robert opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

Well, you have the money, you have the final say.

"Lilith, I'll leave this matter to you. I want you to complete the procedures for connecting the two buildings as quickly as possible, even if it means spending a lot of money."

Wen Ming looked at Lilith, the legal affairs officer.

"Okay, Boss. If you connect the skywalk and the underground parking lot first, the approval process will be quicker because this is your land. You just want to renovate your house, not rebuild it."

Lilith offered the quickest solution, and Wen Ming smiled with satisfaction: "Let's do this."

In Eagle Country, many things can be easily done as long as they are done under the name of renovation.

After saying this, Wen Ming suddenly made another arrangement: "After the two sides are connected, the front desk reception of our Flatiron Hotel will be moved to Building 2 as much as possible.

The front desk here will mainly receive VIP customers in the future..."

A regular meeting lasted the entire morning. Wen Ming was so exhausted that he went back to his room and slept for the entire afternoon before he fully recovered.

When he returned to his office in high spirits, Pepper was still working hard for him, processing the information of the Vinci Hotel, while John was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"The duel is over? Have you taken your medicine?"

Wen Ming first looked at the man's arms and body. John nodded with emotion and said, "First aid spray has been used, and all the gunshot wounds have healed."

……

The plot of "John Wick 4" tells the story of John Wick going to the Sakura Continental Hotel to seek help from an old friend in order to find peace.

But the High Table's CEO, Marquis Vincent de Gramont, is determined to eliminate him. The Marquis not only isolates Wick by intimidating his former friends, but also attracts bounty hunters to hunt him down by offering high bounties.

Finally, Wick challenged the Marquis of Gramont to a duel of life and death. By colluding with Kane, the Marquis of Gramont's substitute duelist, Wick used a trick to kill the Marquis of Gramont and regained his freedom.

……

"That's good. How about now? Is everything over?"

Wen Ming sat next to John and poured him a cup of tea. John thanked him, took a sip from the cup and said, "I have taken all five invaders over there and dealt with them.

As for Wo Wen and his brothers and sisters, I will take them over after the hotel is completely handed over and let them disappear naturally.

As for John Wick, the High Table has lifted all warrants for my arrest, and I'm completely free in that world."

"Great! The first generation of Night Demon can finally rest in peace!"

Wen Ming patted John's shoulder excitedly.

Sometimes I really feel sorry for him. In order to force him to have more scenes, the screenwriter increases the bounty amount for him without stopping.

Even the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to use them like this.

"Thank you! When I left, the world's will allowed me to take two of the four people, Charon, Marcus, Shimazu, and Sophia. I chose Charon and Marcus.

Charon, Marcus, and Shimazu are all destined to die but haven't yet. Sofia, like Rebecca, may be the reason for the plot's end."

John happily brought Wen Ming the long-awaited good news.

"Marcus? He's not dead yet?"

Wen Ming was a little surprised. John's friend who died tragically in "John Wick 1" did not die because of Wen Ming's intervention. He had been asked to be taken away by the world will of "John Wick" before.

At that time, John hurried back and brought back Perkins. Wen Ming thought that the poor sniper had been killed by the will of the world.

"I was on my way to the duel and happened to see him being hunted, so I saved him."

John's words made Wen Ming laugh.

Well, this guy is lucky.

"Why didn't you choose your old lover Sophia?" Wen Ming looked at John jokingly. John looked at Wen Ming in confusion: "Aren't you in urgent need of a receptionist?"

Wen Ming was touched: "Thank you. So, you are sure you are not afraid that Helen will be jealous."

The Night Demon was suddenly embarrassed.

He hasn't forgotten the lesson he learned from bringing Perkins back last time.

The arrival of Charon and Marcus suddenly made the stretched manpower more abundant. Wen Ming didn't know why only four people were taken away in the end of the four movies, namely Helen, Perkins, Charon and Marcus, but it is better to have something than nothing.

After thinking carefully for a while, Wen Ming was about to go with John to meet Charon and Marcus when he accidentally saw Daisy, the beagle, circling under John's feet.

A thought suddenly flashed through Wen Ming's mind.

"John."

"Ok?"

"Does Daisy count as a spot?"

"Walter?"

John looked at Wen Ming in surprise, and Wen Ming looked at the little beagle that was lying on John's legs and acting coquettishly.

John hesitated. "I'm not sure."

"Daisy is a living creature, and she's also mortal. Theoretically, she counts as a spot."

Wen Ming touched his chin and felt that this possibility was very high.

What a lucky puppy.

……

Compared to Marcus, a killer who is good at sniping, Charon is undoubtedly the talent that Wen Ming needs most now. When Wen Ming walked into the activity room, this tall man was communicating politely with Rebecca and Perkins.

Perkins was so happy to see his old acquaintance Charon that he giggled from time to time.

Marcus standing aside no longer had a bitter and resentful look on his face, but instead showed a long-lost smile.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Flatiron Hotel."

Wen Ming walked up and shook hands with Charon and Marcus one by one. The two greeted Wen Ming with some restraint.

"Don't be shy. You'll all be part of the Flatiron Hotel from now on. I just acquired a new hotel, so I have more rooms."

Having said that, Wen Ming looked at his medic and female bodyguard, hoping for a result that would make him happy.

"What were the results of your experiment?"

The two women smiled excitedly at the same time: "Boss, it really works! We can walk 100 meters south of Wenxi Building."

Hearing this good news, Wen Ming felt even happier today. "To celebrate this good news, let's have a small party here tonight. It's a perfect opportunity to welcome our new member and also give you two a welcome banquet."

This test confirmed Wen Ming's previous conjecture:
As the scope of the hotel expands, the scope of the space crack will also expand.

This means that in the future, the time travelers in the hotel will have a larger range of activities in the metaverse, and they will have more choices when entering and exiting, rather than just a crossroads.

This is definitely good news.

However, the only thing that remains uncertain is what happened when Ada Wong appeared 200 meters away from the hotel.

Is she special, or are there other rules? Wen Ming feels that he needs to test it again.

Hearing that Wen Ming was going to hold a party to welcome the two of them, Charon and Marcus looked at Wen Ming somewhat flattered. Perkins was already cheering and high-fiving Rebecca.

The two of them really needed to relax.

John and Helen also smiled happily.

Things are moving in a good direction, aren't they?

……

Wen Ming asked the catering department to prepare some drinks and food for the activity room, while he took out a bunch of brass keys and walked towards the room next to the activity room.

Uncle Sanda’s treasure, here I come.

Wen Ming did not let John and Perkins arrest the hacker last night, after all, he was a legitimate tenant.

Pepper reminded that if they arrested him, they would have to deal with 911, and some people could use the name of a 911 investigation to search the Flatiron Hotel's information system.

This might expose the existence of AI Haihou and some secrets of the hotel.

So Wen Ming let the other party check out and leave today.

It was a busy day today, and only now did he have some free time.

After opening the door next to the activity room, Wen Ming saw three statues placed facing north and south as soon as he entered the room.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun?"

Wen Ming was a little surprised.

Most businessmen will place a statue of Guan Erye in their store.

It is rare to see the Three Pure Ones displayed.

Three statues were placed on an altar. The incense burner on the table was still half full of ash, and the offerings in front of the incense burner had long been rotten.

There is a yellow mat in front of the altar, which is probably used for kneeling when burning incense.

On the wall opposite the statue of the Three Pure Ones, there is a huge word "Tao".

Apart from that, the entire room was empty, with nothing else in it.

This room looks like a Taoist temple.

Wen Ming found a bag, cleaned up the rotten offerings, cleaned the offering plate, and then brought bananas, apples, and oranges from the kitchen and put them back on the offering table.

There were incense sticks next to the altar. Wen Ming took out nine sticks and lit them. He knelt in front of the altar and bowed three times, then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Master Sanqing, I'm sorry."

After Wen Ming finished burning incense, he walked around the statue of the Three Pure Ones and even reached out to touch the back of the statue, but he didn't find anything strange, nor did he find the legendary mechanism.

This made him a little puzzled.

Are all the novels lies?

He searched every corner of the room again, but still couldn't find the legendary secret room.

So, this is just an ordinary Taoist temple?

Unable to find anything, Wen Ming had no choice but to lock the door and move on to the next room.

……

The display in the second room left Wen Ming completely speechless.

There was only a cross statue and two rows of benches at the end of the room. It was clearly a small church.

No, the next door is a Taoist temple, and this one is a church?

Wen Ming couldn't figure out what was going on with the Third Uncle. Was this set up for the former hotel employees?

By the way, should I also have a pastor in my own hotel?

With two buildings and several hundred employees, it seems that according to the requirements here, there must be a prayer room or something.

Prisons are required to have a church and a pastor, and they are privately owned.

I'll ask Lilith from the legal department to confirm this later.

Who would be the most suitable person to be the pastor?

The priests in movies and TV shows don’t seem to be very serious.

The chapel is like the oratory, with nothing but a cross, a platform, and long rows of benches.

Wen Ming carefully searched every corner, even the cross, but he couldn't find any secret compartment or door.

This made him walk towards the next room again with some disappointment.

The things in this room were both within Wen Ming's expectations and beyond his expectations.

There were several antique display shelves in the room. On the east shelf were displayed various peach wood swords, jade bi disks, Bagua mirrors, gold and silver swords, Sanqing bells, tokens, cinnabar and other things. There were also some strange bottles and jars, each of which had a yellow talisman paper pasted on it.

Seeing these things, Wen Ming felt a little numb.

As someone who often watches Uncle Ying's movies, he guessed that the things in these movies might all be ghosts.

I don’t know if Nie Xiaoqian is there.

The best one is the Wang Buleng version.

The celestial version is also good.

What surprised Wen Ming even more was that on the antique shelf on the west side were silver swords, holy water, salt, silver bullets, crosses and other exorcism items, as well as some strange bottles, each of which was engraved with mysterious talismans.

Seeing these things, Wen Ming thought of the three people from the Heihe Society.

It seems that there are really zombies or vampires in this hotel, otherwise the third uncle would not have a complete set of Eastern and Western exorcism instruments.

Wen Ming knew nothing about these things and didn't dare to touch them casually, so he just walked around carefully. After making sure that the 200-year-old zongzi was not there, he walked out.

Only after he got out of the door did Wen Ming dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Third Uncle must have obtained a lot of goodies from the space crack. The problem is, why are these things all exorcism-related things? There is not even a modern weapon.

"Could it be that Uncle Three is not interested in modern movies and TV series?"

Wen Ming muttered half-jokingly and pushed open the door of the next room.

This room was located at the end of the corridor, and the heavy double wooden doors silently revealed its uniqueness. Wen Minggang took a step inside when his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Nine dragons carrying a coffin?!"

I saw a huge sarcophagus standing in the center of the room. Under the coffin, nine stone dragons stretched out their ferocious heads and half of their bodies, and their claws grasped the ground firmly, as if holding up the entire sarcophagus.

The dragon's eyes are wide open and its whiskers are flying. Each stone dragon is lifelike, with its own expression and majestic.

Wen Ming's breathing stagnated, and the image of "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" in an online novel flashed through his mind. However, the stone coffin in front of him was even more bizarre - it did not have the dignity of a bronze coffin, nor was it bound by iron chains. The nine dragons seemed to be carrying the coffin voluntarily, solemn and cold.

“Third uncle…what level of Zongzi did you raise here?

What's the origin of this giant zongzi? They're using nine-headed stone dragons to carry the coffin. Even the ceremonial rituals of the emperors wouldn't be much better than this."

The sarcophagus stood quietly, and the smell of decay and the biting chill hit me in the face.

It was not just an ordinary low temperature, but a chill that struck the soul directly, as if something in the coffin was staring at him coldly through the stone wall.

What’s even more bizarre is that surrounding the nine dragons carrying the coffin are huge stone sculptures of nine archangels.

Nine archangels looked down at the sarcophagus in the center of the room, as if suppressing this ancient sarcophagus.

Uncle Third, your inheritance is too scary, isn't it?

Are there zombies or vampires here?
Wen Ming's Adam's apple rolled and he instinctively took a step back.

He wanted to see what was inside the sarcophagus, but the alarm bells in his heart kept ringing.

Don't get close!

He will definitely die!

A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, and his intuition was giving him a crazy warning, as if reminding him that if he dared to get any closer, he would definitely die without a burial place.

retreat!retreat!retreat!

Without a word, he rushed out of the room and slammed the door shut, as if he would be dragged in by some indescribable existence if he was a second slower.

"Anyone who wants to touch this thing can do so!"

Wen Ming, still frightened, turned around to look at the room next to the Nine Dragons Carrying Corpse Coffin when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Boss, I heard there's a party tonight?"

Wen Ming turned around and immediately saw Arthur standing stiffly at the stairs, greeting him from a distance.

"Arthur, you've arrived at the perfect time. Let me introduce you to some new colleagues."

Wen Ming put aside the idea of ​​continuing to explore other rooms and smiled widely.

Today's clown is so cute.

"What jokes will you bring to everyone tonight?"

"It's a joke about mental illness. Boss, will you still be my partner tonight?"

"Of course, we are the best partners."
