CH 112

Lin Wen walked straight towards the Captain Ke Ku Hotel, which was only a street away but already belonged to the upper city area, the area of the privileged, the wealthy, and the imperial bureaucrats.

Qi Mu visibly shrank back. Every corner here exuded an air of luxury, even the security guards on patrol were neatly dressed and upright.

"Lin, Boss Lin..."

"What? Oh, I provide food and accommodation here, and the salary... hmm, let's increase it by half. You work 8 hours a day, have weekends off, and sometimes there may be overtime, but you have the right to refuse unless it's necessary."

As soon as Lin Wen finished speaking, Qi Mu seemed to be struck by lightning and stood dumbfounded in place.

Lin Wen didn't notice that Qi Mu had fallen far behind and continued to stride forward.

It took a while for Qi Mu to catch up, panting, and said, "Boss Lin, I... I know computers, assembly language, machines, symbols, and I understand advanced programming languages..."

Lin Wen casually said, "Oh, then you will be responsible for repairing computers in my office from now on."

Qi Mu's face turned pale, but he still followed closely behind Lin Wen, afraid of losing sight of his boss.

The Captain Ke Ku Hotel was just ahead. It had 130 floors, and the lobby on the first floor was very spacious and magnificent. The ten-centimeter-thick red carpet extended directly from the door to the street. There were many hotel attendants and hostesses standing in front of the door. They were well-dressed, graceful, with bright smiles and humble manners, bowing to every guest. Every word of "Welcome" was seamless, refreshing and comforting.

Here, appearance and vision were the most important. Only dignitaries and nobles stayed at the Captain Ke Ku Hotel, and offending any one of them would be a grave mistake. However, if low-class people were allowed to mix in, they would deserve to die.

The head waiter on duty had been working here for twelve years without making any mistakes. When he saw Lin Wen for the first time, he knew that this person could be allowed in. He should be a follower of some official, with a certain internal connection. He should be given a third-level reception, and there should be no mistakes.

But the timid guy behind him was absolutely not allowed. This guy was covered in cheap knockoffs from head to toe, not only wrinkled but also covered in a lot of dust. His eyes were wandering around, his expression fearful. He looked like a low-class commoner from the lower district.

None of the attendants of any official would have this appearance. Most likely, they wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in and take a few selfies to show off their status as a "romantic scholar" to naive girls who were inexperienced in the world.

These kinds of people had been particularly numerous recently, and this one was the worst dressed among them. So as soon as Lin Wen entered, the head waiter immediately stopped Qi Mu without any politeness.

"Sir, please show your identification."

--

When Lin Wen noticed that the person behind him was missing and turned back, he saw a group of security guards beating up a young man at the entrance. The young man was beaten black and blue but still clung tightly to his suitcase, trying to rush inside.

"Boss Lin, Boss Lin, I'm here behind you..."

His voice was already choked up, and a security guard kicked him down. Then countless feet came down on him.

In the next moment, Lin Wen jumped out in one step, and a second later, all the security guards attacking him fell to the ground.

Qi Mu lay on the ground, tightly hugging his suitcase, crying bitterly. His belongings were scattered all over the carpet, and his head and body were covered in dusty footprints.

A hand reached out in front of him.

"Get up."

Lin Wen said.

"No crying. Your boss will laugh if he fires you."

Qi Mu grabbed his hand, and tears flowed even more. Lin Wen lifted him up, patting off the dust on him.

He lowered his head, wiping his tears incessantly.

"Don't lower your head. The crown of a working person will fall off."

"Is this your dog?"

A chubby middle-aged man walked over from behind and changed his tone when he saw Lin Wen's actions.

"Is this your master's dog? Blocking my way, do you kno-"

Bang!

The chubby man fell to the ground.

Lin Wen pulled Qi Mu and walked past the security guards scattered on the ground, ignoring the head waiter who was frantically making phone calls, ignoring the gazes of the attendants and hostesses, ignoring the security guards rushing towards them from a distance, and ignoring the SWAT police emerging from various shadowy corners. They walked into the highest-class hotel in Yaojing Spiritual Capital.

Lin Wen's room was on the 161st floor, Room A-121, but Rooms A-122 to A-125 also belonged to him.

Room A-121 was a special five-star level, corresponding to the rank of a sheriff. Rooms A-122 to A-125 were quasi-four-star level, used for the sheriff's entourage. The sheriff could bring up to twenty accompanying personnel, but only three were allowed to attend meetings.

The entire 161st floor belonged to East Qin Prefecture, but the governor was not here. The governor's rank was different. They had already entered the imperial level and had a special villa with strict standards for safety, protection, defense, food, water supply, and electricity. They were in a completely different world from local officials like Lin Wen.

But even so, the luxury of the seven-star hotel dazzled Qi Mu. The thick carpet made him feel like he was walking on clouds, and every decoration on the gold-leafed walls exceeded his annual salary. Every attendant standing in the corner was more beautiful than the goddess in his company, and they always smiled and bowed to him.His goddess never smiled at him, every word she spoke to him was brief and curt. Whenever she looked at him, her gaze would always render him as insignificant as the background on the wall, the decorative items in the company, or some other trivial thing. Even when receiving gifts, she would only wear a look of disdain, as if it was a charity from him.

But here, everyone smiled at him, bowed respectfully to him. No one showed any abnormal fear or objection to his cheap, dust-covered clothes, as if it was only natural for him to be here.

A strange emotion rose in Qi Mu's heart, and the person leading him seemed to be bathed in a layer of radiance.

Lin Wen didn't pay attention to all of this, he strode forward. An exceptionally beautiful female manager was standing outside Lin Wen's room. As soon as he arrived, she immediately bowed, "Sheriff Lin, this is your room."

She swiped open the room door, handed him the room card with both hands. The sharp-eyed Qi Mu noticed that the female manager's neckline was very low, revealing her charming collarbone and delicate shoulders. When she bowed, her collar drooped, she was not wearing any underwear, all her snow-white allure was in full view.

This was the first time Qi Mu had truly seen a girl's body, and his face immediately turned red. The female manager looked a bit disappointed when she saw Lin Wen, who had already entered the room without any reaction. But when she saw Qi Mu, who looked like he was in a steamer, her charming and coquettish smile emerged again.

But perhaps Qi Mu, who was about to face his first time, was interrupted by Lin Wen.

"Qi Mu, come in."

Qi Mu immediately withdrew his gaze and ran in with his black suitcase.

The female manager bit her glossy, attractive lips, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her light blue almond eyes, but she still politely closed the room door, called the regular service staff, and then turned to her next hunting spot.
