My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

The owner of the Garden Hotel paused, glancing somewhat displeasedly at Hua Lingyou, who was watching the scene unfold.

This portly man, whose suit didn't quite fit him, was the actual controller of the Garden Hotel and also a client of Anmeng Insurance.

Xiao Erdong.

"Boss Xiao, the procedures still need to be followed carefully. You know our boss's habits; he's meticulous and never overlooks anything."

Hua Lingyou squinted, her eyes curving into two crescent moons, and explained gently.

Tang Ming remained silent, waiting for Boss Xiao's reply. As a skilled worker, he didn't need to handle the negotiations, nor did he want to waste his breath.

When Xiao Erdong heard Hua Lingyou mention the boss, he paused for a moment, as if that person could still keep him in check. Xiao Erdong didn't press the matter further and raised his hand to signal Tang Ming to proceed with the testing.

He chatted casually with Hua Lingyou about trivial matters while secretly observing Tang Ming.

These two are quite a pair of characters. The owner of a top-tier hotel came to greet them personally, one of them curled up on the sofa eating bread, while the other slipped off to the restroom...

Of course, he didn't say much, and soon sat down to chat with Hua Lingyou. Firstly, they were long-term clients, having cooperated many times. Secondly, Anmeng Insurance was someone he was serious about.

Although he appears to be a customer, insurance companies, especially those in this thriving industry, all possess a solid foundation that they can rely on.

The owner of Anmeng Insurance was already a highly respected figure in their industry more than a decade ago.

"Boss Xiao, have you had breakfast yet?" Hua Lingyou asked innocently, still holding a loaf of bread in her hand.

"Lingyou, it's almost nine o'clock now, I've definitely eaten..." Xiao Erdong shook his head helplessly. The little girl always did such silly things, and he was used to it.

"Alright then, please excuse me. My colleague is in the restroom. He's here to appraise your new asset. Boss Xiao, you're riding high with another prime asset. A large part of my performance depends on you, hehe."

"You're joking. Your clients are quite formidable. What am I to you?" Xiao Erdong waved his hand politely, then looked up and glanced at the magnificent hall.

"Speaking of which, the former owner was in a hurry to abandon this hotel because he was leaving Fangzhou City to develop in other cities, and I ended up picking it up by chance."

Xiao Erdong's tone couldn't help but reveal a smug joy.

Let's go back to the present.

Tang Ming scanned each floor of the building, checking whether the building's safety met the standards, as this directly affected the losses in the event of a disaster and the amount of insurance compensation.

Hua Lingyou, carrying her suitcase, followed behind Tang Ming with Xiao Erdong, chatting about Boss Xiao's achievements during this period.

With the clever and beautiful saleswoman's flattery and praise, Boss Xiao couldn't help but boast about his various shrewd decisions, and then sigh that it was so good to have a listener like Hua Lingyou, much better than his wife at home who knew nothing and cared about nothing.

"Excuse me...aren't these upper floors part of the hotel grounds?" Tang Ming interrupted, glancing at the two people behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh, this building houses both a hotel and apartments. The top four or five floors are serviced apartments, which are convenient for long-term VIP guests," Xiao Erdong explained.

"Boss Xiao~" Hua Lingyou patted the handle of her suitcase, "Let's go to the top floor later and set up a magic array for your hotel."

"While it can't provide complete protection, it can still withstand some of the flying debris and shockwaves in the event of a battle. This is a high-quality product personally crafted by a wizard from the Demon Realm."

Hua Lingyou transformed into a loyal salesperson, which Xiao Erdong found not annoying, but rather delightful.

Magic circles are things that are out of reach for ordinary people. Without enough money and connections, it is difficult to ask wizards to set up a magic circle that runs for a long time for you, even when they are busy with their training.

This requires a lot of magic and intricate inscription settings; the slightest mistake will render it all useless.

As for asking magical girls for help... that's even more difficult, as most of the time even the Anti-Magic Club doesn't know where they are.

"How much?! I can buy several more!" Xiao Erdong didn't question the reliability of the magic array at all; instead, he eagerly asked if he could buy several more.

"Haha, I'm sorry... These are gifts for our valued insurance clients. We don't have any channels to wholesale them, so each one is priceless." Hua Lingyou shook her head apologetically.

"To be honest, we also hope that if an accident happens, the burden of insurance payouts can be smaller, and your hotel guests can be safer," she said quietly, shrinking her head.

"Oh... that's a pity, but having one is great too." Xiao Erdong looked a little downcast, but then he remembered that he had already given one away, and his face lit up with a smile.

"I'm glad you're satisfied!" Hua Lingyou didn't notice the other party's sudden change in expression, and followed Tang Ming up the top floor elevator with her suitcase.

"Boss Xiao... there are a few things I need to report to you." The group stood in the elevator, and Tang Ming glanced at Xiao Erdong.

"Xiao Tang, you speak."

"I've discovered that the fire doors on many floors are installed in the wrong direction, and they're all located in the main fire escape routes. So far, I've found this problem on floors 6, 8, 9, 14, and 19."

"Uh... is this a big problem?"

"This would not meet fire safety standards, and it could easily cause crowding and stampedes during an escape. I think the previous owner's staff were not careful during the inspection; such a basic mistake could happen."

Xiao Erdong was a little embarrassed. He turned to his secretary and gave her a wink. The secretary immediately nodded to indicate that she had remembered.

"Will this affect our contract?" Xiao Erdong asked again, turning back to the question.

"Logically speaking, yes, these are all potential losses... However." Tang Ming glanced at Hua Lingyou.

"You can have your staff make some corrections, or even hold those responsible accountable. It won't affect the cooperation we agreed on today. We can come back and inspect it later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Erdong breathed a sigh of relief. Although Anmeng Insurance probably wouldn't want to give up on him as a major client, he was actually even more reluctant to be rejected.

Fangzhou City has become increasingly unstable recently, and many people have even chosen to leave the city. Buying insurance is a minor matter; connecting with the wizard is the real guarantee of safety.

"Having said that, some hotels also have Class B fire doors that don't meet the standards, and they might even be substandard..."

After hearing Tang Ming finish reading, Xiao Erdong felt a little embarrassed. Although it wasn't his fault, and he had only taken over the asset this year, he hadn't expected that he hadn't noticed these details during his own inspection and had to rely on the insurance company to point them out.

He glared at the secretary beside him, who nodded as if to indicate that she had taken note.

"Why are you nodding? Get to work on it now, these problems all need to be solved!" Boss Xiao raised his eyebrows and angrily rebuked.

Upon hearing the instruction, the secretary quickly pressed the button for the next floor. When the elevator stopped, she rushed out to find another elevator to go downstairs.

There were only three people left in the elevator. Xiao Erdong smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I'm still grateful to Xiao Tang for finding these problems. Otherwise, if an accident had occurred later, it would have caused me a lot of trouble."

"Business is tough these days."

Hua Lingyou was amused by Xiao Erdong and chuckled softly, covering her mouth. Tang Ming, seeing that the other woman didn't seem to care, felt relieved. He considered whether to directly explain the hotel's fire safety issues to her, but then he remembered that it was his job, and his conscience wouldn't allow him to neglect it…

Don't forget your job just because you're constantly transforming into a virtual beast and causing trouble.
