Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 196 A Stubborn Heart

"I checked on this Captain. His full name is Li Kaiping, from the Li family of Nan Province. Nan Province is vast, led by ten prominent surnames: Li, Zhang, Yang, Wang, Chen, Liu, Zhao, Ma, Zhou, and Zhu. These ten surnames practically dominate the entire Nan Province, making it difficult for outsiders to integrate.

Despite being a major city, surname distinctions are significant, which sets Nan Province apart from other regions. Consequently, the Guo Du Ten Families have surnames like Wang and Li that clash with Nan Province families, and these two families are sworn enemies.

Li Kaiping is one of the direct descendants of the Li family. The Fang family's affairs might involve the Li family; of course, it’s not certain about the other families either. It requires thorough investigation to find out."

On the way back to the hotel, Xuan Niao informed them of the basic information gathered. However, for specific intelligence regarding Nan Province, they still needed to consult Fang Cunxin, as she was the one privy to Nan Province’s secrets.

During their apprehension, Fang Cunxin had obediently stayed in the hotel, not going anywhere.

For Fang Cunxin, if possible, she absolutely did not want to return to Nan Province until she was capable. But then she thought, by the time she became capable, perhaps all those people would have already died.

She wanted revenge, but at the same time, she feared she might not have the ability, falling into a dilemma.

However, it was good that her master mentioned revenge, which made Fang Cunxin very happy. At least she could feel her master’s concern for her.

"Hello, hello, do you have any good quality black tea? I... I can buy it, I have money."

Fang Cunxin asked the front desk with a touch of social anxiety. Her small head barely peeked over the counter, and she asked in a soft voice.

Her master liked to drink black tea, but the room only had green tea, so she had to gather her courage to come down.

For someone with social anxiety, it was truly difficult.

The receptionist saw such a small girl and found her very cute. She patiently said, "Little one, which room are you from? I'll help you check, okay?"

Fang Cunxin tilted her small head and thought, "Tianfuhao."

Tianfuhao was one of the three presidential suites booked that day.

The young lady’s smile froze slightly, and she pursed her lips, "Little one, what kind of tea do you want? We have Keemun Black Tea, Sichuan Red Gongfu, Jiulong Hongmei, and Lapsang Souchong. But, little one, these teas are quite expensive. Shall I put it on your room bill?"

Fang Cunxin shook her head stubbornly and patiently explained, "No, this is for my master. I have money."

At this moment, the manager walked over. Seeing a child at the front desk, with the receptionist chatting and laughing with the child, his expression turned grim. "Xiao Ying, what's going on? When you're working, you need to act like you're working. What if a guest sees this?

This is a five-star hotel, not a small establishment. Your behavior is very uncivilized. We are high-quality individuals, dealing with high-quality clients. Why are you always smiling and joking? Is this a bathhouse?"

The receptionist named Xiao Ying hastily explained, "No, Manager, this little girl is..."

Before she could finish, the manager shouted again, "No, no! Where did this little brat come from? Hurry up and get her out. What are those things tied to her hands and feet? It’s unsightly. Where are the security guards? Tell this little brat to get lost."

Fang Cunxin was also intimidated by the powerful aura. She shrunk her neck and said firmly, "I, I, I came to buy tea. I have money. Please don't chase me away, okay?"

As she spoke, she quickly took out a card from her small pocket. The main body of the card was black, but in the upper right corner, there was a purple Bauhinia flower.

The manager's eyes lit up.

As the manager of a five-star garden courtyard hotel, he had received training regarding bank cards. He recognized the card in Fang Cunxin's hand at a glance – the Bauhinia Bank Diamond Card.

The Bauhinia Bank Diamond Card was extremely difficult to obtain. It required an average daily asset of three to six million, a minimum annual income of ten million, and an average daily financial asset of over thirty million. Additionally, one needed corresponding social status to obtain it. Of course, the most important factor was bank recognition.

More importantly, if the account holder failed to meet the corresponding quota standards for six consecutive months, the card would be automatically downgraded.

The standards for Bauhinia Bank's Diamond Card were arguably the highest in the banking system.

"Little one, what kind of tea do you need?"

The manager managed to force a smile.

Fang Cunxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Which tea is the best?"

Manager Zhang's eyes lit up, and he proudly explained, "Of course, it's Keemun Black Tea. Our Keemun Black Tea here is 150,000 yuan per jin. I can tell you, there isn't any tea as good as mine in the entire Nan Province. It's unique.

Many people want to buy this tea, but they don't have the fortune. I heard you're buying it for your master? That's perfect. This tea is absolutely top-notch, and your master will definitely like it. You..."

Before Manager Zhang could finish his boastful speech, Fang Cunxin nodded, "I'll take it!"

Fang Cunxin was very happy. Although she felt a little pained about the money, she was delighted thinking that she could honor her master.

A smile appeared on Manager Zhang's lips. Xiao Ying wanted to say something but was glared at by the manager and muttered inwardly, 'It's clearly something worth ten thousand yuan, and he's selling it for 150,000, making a pure profit of 140,000.'

It was equivalent to a year and a half of her salary.

Fang Cunxin happily swiped her card and ran back with a tea cake, never considering that Manager Zhang had tricked her.

Just as Fang Cunxin happily carried the tea cake down the elevator, she collided with someone.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't see you. I blocked your way, I'm very sorry."

Fang Cunxin looked at the man in the black suit in front of her and quickly bowed and apologized, as it was her fault.

Zhang Haoxuan looked at the large white dust stain on his pants and couldn't help but curse, "Are you walking without looking, what were you thinking? You got my pants dirty. Are you blind?"

Zhang Haoxuan's face was grim. He had been unlucky all day.

Just as he was about to leave to sign a contract in the morning, he was splashed with water by a passing vehicle. He changed and went to the company, only to encounter people fighting. They mistook him for one of them and beat him badly. He finally managed to have his subordinate book a hotel and bought a new suit. But then this happened again. It was truly infuriating!

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, I'll wipe it for you. Please wait a moment."

Soon, an assistant walked over, very humble. After wiping it clean with wet tissues on his knees, he slapped Fang Cunxin across the face.

"Slap!"

A five-finger imprint immediately appeared on Fang Cunxin's small face.

"What kind of brat is this? Get lost quickly. Don't delay Teacher Zhang's endorsement talks! In this day and age, where do these kids come from that they can get into anywhere? Even a five-star hotel can be entered so casually. It seems I need to make a request to the hotel, not let any stray cats and dogs in. It’s such bad luck."
