CHAPTER 1605: CHAPTER 1606: BE SINCERE IN BUSINESS!

Lin Ling said with an unpleasant expression, "I’m really not in cahoots with them. I was just following company orders to take you to those shops and earn a little commission.

That’s just how this industry is.

You can’t deal with those people, but you take it out on us small-time guides."

"Don’t worry, I’ll let you see their downfall."

Xiao Chen glanced at the security guard lying on the ground and said, "No wonder you dare do such things, turns out you have someone backing you."

"Hmph, kid, it’s good you know."

A security guard sneered, "I’m telling you, today you’ve hit us, you’ve started something, and no one can save you.

Even Gao Feng can’t protect himself, don’t count on him."

"Haha, I want to see who’s so bold. Even if he’s a Transriver Dragon, I’ll turn him into a mangy dog!"

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, "You didn’t really think I came here just for tourism, did you? I’m here to take down all you scoundrels!"

Very soon, the police arrived, and several security guards and the staff from the black shops were taken away.

Lin Ling did not leave.

That was Xiao Chen’s order.

Lin Ling was just a pawn.

He wanted to see who was really behind this pawn.

He wanted to see who was controlling the travel company that rightfully belonged to Xinmeng Group.

"Good catch——!"

"That’s the way it should be!"

"Really satisfying!"

The crowd was thrilled.

Seeing this outcome, they were quite satisfied.

When traveling, the last thing one wants is to be scammed. They thought a reputable travel company wouldn’t have such issues, but who knew they’d encounter it anyway.

Luckily, among them was someone like Xiao Chen, otherwise, being scammed twice in a row would have been infuriating, not leaving any mood for travel.

Lin Ling stood there, looking displeased.

"If you’re capable, uproot them completely; otherwise, stop trying to be a hero. If you leave, the people serving you will all suffer with you."

Lin Ling had seen too much of this.

Her father was killed for speaking out righteously.

But what could she do?

She had no thoughts of revenge, because it was simply impossible.

She was just an ordinary person; she couldn’t seek revenge and could only follow the rules set by those people.

Yes, she was a black-hearted guide.

But she just wanted to make some money.

She didn’t want anyone to die.

In her view, Xiao Chen’s actions were dragging these tourists into the abyss of death.

She had seen too many such people.

Acting heroic for a moment.

It looked like they saved people, but once they left, it was just a mess left behind.

Initially, she believed in such people too, but it only led to her father’s death, so she came to utterly resent such people.

More than those who did bad things.

Getting scammed, at least you stay alive.

But resisting, the result is a dead end, a bloody lesson.

"I don’t need you to advise me. I don’t like leaving loose ends when doing things."

Xiao Chen actually had already investigated Lin Ling’s past.

Otherwise, he would’ve slapped her by now.

How could he be wasting words with her like this?

"Yu Lan, has Cai Ruo arrived?"

Xiao Chen turned to Xiao Yulan, ignoring Lin Ling.

This Lin Ling, though hateful, was also pitiable.

Forced by circumstances beyond her control.

Understandable.

The issue to address now wasn’t with small fry like her, but the real problem.

Cai Ruo was, after all, the manager of the travel company.

"He has!"

Xiao Yulan pointed to a Lexus approaching from a distance and said.

Though it was a Wo Nation car, it was still considered a luxury vehicle, quite expensive.

A pot-bellied man got out of the car.

His name was Cai Ruo.

People in the company called him President Cai.

Cai Ruo carefully looked at photos of Xiao Yulan and Liu Xin, confirmed there was no mistake.

Then hurriedly came over, bowed, and said, "President Liu, President Xiao, you’re visiting Taiwan Island, why didn’t you inform us in advance, so I could send people to pick you up!"

Cai Ruo was very respectful.

Because he wanted to keep this job.

Being a tourism company manager was a lucrative position.

Especially on Taiwan Island.

His hometown was here, and working here was truly perfect for him.

He didn’t want to offend Liu Xin and Xiao Yulan.

One is the president’s mother, the other the company’s general manager.

He couldn’t afford to offend either.

Had to curry favor with both.

Xiao Yulan smiled faintly, "President Cai, you’re too kind. Haven’t you arranged everything well? Sixteen hundred for snacks, tens of thousands for souvenirs.

You really opened my eyes, I must thank you!"

"Slap!"

Cai Ruo slapped Lin Ling: "Scoundrel, what kind of work are you doing? You’re fired, get out! Our company doesn’t need scum who cheats tourists."

Scum?

Lin Ling was dumbfounded by the slap.

She understood clearly.

Xiao Yulan and Liu Xin were people Cai Ruo couldn’t afford to offend.

Very likely from the upper levels of Xinmeng Group.

Cai Ruo was truly burning bridges, obviously, this was a company-assigned task.

The money earned mostly went to the company.

The guides could only get a small share.

Yet she was humiliated like this.

"Don’t be in a hurry to fire her."

Xiao Yulan said faintly, "She’s just a guide, I believe she doesn’t have the guts for this alone. I’ll investigate what’s really going on.

Lin Ling, stay by my side, didn’t you say we’re just acting heroic? I’ll show you how our Xinmeng Group handles things!"

Saying this, she continued, "Lin Ling, you might just be the bottom-level scapegoat, maybe forced into it, but bringing these tourists to such places, ultimately, it was you.

They trust you, saw you as family.

Yet you treated them like this, don’t you think you should apologize to them?"

Lin Ling took a deep breath, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "Today’s incident was indeed my fault, I did something wrong, ruined your mood.

I kneel to all of you!"

Lin Ling was, at heart, not a true villain.

Especially when thinking of her father’s death, she felt even more guilty towards these tourists.

Her father would rather die than not speak up for tourists, and yet she did things to harm them.

"Everyone."

Liu Xin said, "Taiwan Island Travel Company is now an asset of Xinmeng Group, but to be honest, we’ve just taken over.

What happened today, unforgettable for you, unforgettable for us too.

So, we’ll refund your entire cost of this trip to Taiwan Island.

Also, if you need other travel companies, we’ll help coordinate with all our resources.

We’ll make sure each of you has a wonderful holiday on Taiwan Island!"

Liu Xin’s approach wasn’t anything fancy, just sincere.

She always believed sincerity could touch people.

If you’re sincere to others, they’ll be sincere to you.

Only sincerity can lead to mutual understanding.
