The entertainment department generated the most revenue in the entire hotel and had the most diverse staff. The term “entertainment department” referred to a collective term encompassing karaoke rooms, dance halls, beauty salons, gyms, and recreational clubs. The entertainment department was divided into five or six smaller departments. Among them, only the karaoke room was directly operated by the hotel, while the other smaller departments were all contracted out. However, these contractors had one overarching leader, a man who was well-connected in both legitimate and criminal circles, with an extensive network of relationships. He was Gao Bo, the general manager of the entertainment department.
Gao Bo was in his early thirties, with a strong physique, a straight posture, short hair, and black-rimmed glasses. He always appeared particularly energetic. It was said that Gao Bo was a graduate student, well-mannered, spoke in a refined manner, and was not the type to seek petty gains.
Gao Bo’s appearance surprised Shui Miao greatly.
Shui Miao knew that Gao Bo rarely came to the hotel. He was a wealthy man who drove luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands and lived in a luxurious seaside apartment in Zhonghai City. Someone like him would never care much about food.
In Shui Miao’s plan, Gao Bo was the final target for retribution.
However, Manager Wei from the housekeeping department was a different story.
Wei Qi was in his forties, with a pale face and a effeminate tone, a complete sissy.
He was the key target for Shui Miao’s retribution.
The unexpected appearance of Gao Bo and Wei Qi together complicated the situation.
The employees in the restaurant fell silent upon hearing the two were coming, eager to see how Shui Miao would deal with them.
“What are you so nervous about? They won’t eat you. Where is Yin Yangyang?” Shui Miao glanced at Chen Bing and noticed his pants were dirty, probably from climbing over a wall.
“I locked her in the back warehouse. That woman is such a hassle. She used every move like a castrating claw. If I hadn’t run fast enough, she could have torn my pants off!” Chen Bing felt a bit scared. He had seen many women, but this was the first time he had encountered someone like Yin Yangyang. She didn’t hold back at all when she got angry, a true fierce woman.
“She’s that fierce? She doesn’t seem like the fiery type at first glance. Could it be she has a special liking for you?” Shui Miao suddenly felt something was off. Yin Yangyang did have a bit of a mischievous nature, but for a woman to go to such extremes against a man, it was almost psychologically twisted.
“You still have the mood to joke around at a time like this?” Chen Bing pulled Shui Miao aside, whispering anxiously, “That sissy Wei Qi is easy to deal with, but Gao Bo won’t be so easy to handle. Think of something quickly, don’t let us lose face in front of so many people.”
Chen Bing had already gotten into the mindset, aligning with Shui Miao’s thoughts.
“Don’t worry, we’ll handle whatever comes our way. I know what I’m doing. You go back and deal with Yin Yangyang. Remember, keep it measured and controlled. She can grab you, but you should only grab her at the right moment. Now go…”
Shui Miao opened the back door and pushed Chen Bing inside.

Turning around, Shui Miao saw the glass doors of section B being pushed open as Wei Qi and Gao Bo walked in.
“Hehe!” Spotting Shui Miao immediately, Wei Qi quickly approached with a cheerful expression. However, when he saw Shui Miao holding a ladle, he was instantly surprised: “Oh my, Xiao Shui… you’re being too modest. You’re already the new food and beverage manager, how can you still be doing such menial work?”
“Mr. Wei, you don’t understand,” Gao Bo interjected, walking forward and extending his hand to Shui Miao. “Manager Shui is leading by example, fostering camaraderie with the staff. Hello, I’m Gao Bo, the current manager of the hotel’s entertainment department. I came here today specially to congratulate you, brother.”
“Hello!”
Shui Miao naturally wouldn’t be impolite, quickly shaking Gao Bo’s hand.
“And me too, let me shake hands too…”
Wei Qi also extended his hand, giving Shui Miao a suggestive handshake.
Strange, how did they know I was appointed manager? Could it be… that Xiao Tang, the pretty waitress from the housekeeping department, let the cat out of the bag?
As Shui Miao was pondering suspiciously, Gao Bo smiled and said, “Manager Shui, Madam Lin has already told me everything. Why don’t we find a place to chat properly? Leave this place to the staff.”
“Alright.”
Shui Miao was slightly taken aback, quite surprised. Why would Lin Jie tell this Gao Bo about it? Could it be that Gao Bo hasn’t been embezzling money from the hotel, and he’s actually loyal to the hotel?
Before understanding the situation, Shui Miao dared not act rashly.
Gao Bo turned and headed toward the elevator in the main hall, while Wei Qi accompanied Shui Miao into the elevator. This Wei Qi acted like a lovesick Pekingese, now grinning foolishly, now sneaking glances at Shui Miao’s backside, making Shui Miao want to kick him right in the crotch, thoroughly crippling him and fulfilling his dream of becoming a shemale.
Inside the elevator, the three remained silent.
Gao Bo’s office was on the fourth floor. During the day, it was very quiet there. The long, narrow corridor was eerily silent, making Shui Miao highly alert. He kept thinking of various possibilities and scenarios.
At the end of the long corridor was Gao Bo’s office. The office was large but, since Gao Bo rarely came here, it felt cold and deserted. Entering the office, Shui Miao found there were no windows, giving a stuffy feeling. Looking out from the office, the long corridor directly faced the office door, clearly violating Feng Shui principles.
Colorful spotlights from the four corners of the room illuminated the space, adding a sense of opulence and decadence.
Gao Bo plopped down into his leather chair and gestured for Shui Miao to sit and talk.
Shui Miao sat on the sofa, lightly wiping the glass coffee table with his finger, then looking at it…
“Hehe, although I don’t come here often, I have someone clean it every day, so it’s still quite clean,” Gao Bo observed Shui Miao with mild amusement.
Shui Miao didn’t respond but sniffed his finger and noticed an unpleasant odor.
“Oh my, I’m not as clean as you, Xiao Shui.”
Wei Qi said as he placed his hand on Shui Miao’s thigh, attempting to take advantage.
“Clean?” Shui Miao looked at Wei Qi, smiled slightly, and extended his finger toward him. “Manager Wei, if you dare to lick this coffee table with your tongue, I’ll believe it’s clean.”
Shui Miao had already detected a urine smell from the coffee table. It must have been from the cleaning lady being lazy, using the dirty mop water to wipe the table, leaving a lingering odor after it dried. The room had already dried out, yet the faint stench still clung to his finger, indicating how filthy the water must have been. Disgusted by Wei Qi’s behavior, Shui Miao couldn’t directly punch him, so he decided to play along, enticing him to lick his finger as a punishment for his rudeness.
“Who’s afraid?!”
Wei Qi didn’t expect Shui Miao to be interested in him. He wasn’t at all ashamed and immediately leaned forward, taking Shui Miao’s finger into his mouth and sucking on it…
Damn!
As soon as his finger entered Wei Qi’s mouth, Shui Miao was shocked to find that the man’s tongue was incredibly agile, wrapping wildly around his finger. The strong suction pulled the finger deeper into his throat. Shui Miao felt a chill run down his spine. He tried to pull his finger back but couldn’t. In desperation, he sharply hooked his finger, causing Wei Qi to open his mouth in pain.
“Cough… cough… cough… you… cough… cough…”
Wei Qi’s throat was hurt, and he coughed violently, furious as he rushed to the bathroom for water with his weak fists pounding on Shui Miao a few times…
“Hahaha…”
Wei Qi’s embarrassing situation caused Gao Bo to burst into laughter.
Shui Miao shook his finger, genuinely wanting to chop it off, but fearing the pain and knowing it wouldn’t grow back.
Shui Miao got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Wei Qi went to the hospital because his throat was bleeding…
After returning, Shui Miao had just sat back down on the sofa when Gao Bo spoke with a smile: “That Wei Qi is really unbearable. Shui Miao, brother, you’re quite ruthless. If you don’t like him, why use such a method? I think he won’t dare to lick anything randomly anymore.”
“Manager Gao, you say that as if you’re feeling sorry for him. Are you missing him already?” Shui Miao joked along with Gao Bo’s tone.
Upon hearing this, Gao Bo waved his hands repeatedly: “You can’t say that. Absolutely can’t say that. I have absolutely nothing to do with him. He keeps clinging to me all the time, and I’m too lazy to deal with him. If I were also a gay guy, I wouldn’t have laughed so happily when I saw him like that.”
“Right, Manager Gao, you look very healthy, definitely not a gay guy.” Shui Miao didn’t want to talk about Wei Qi anymore and shifted the topic seriously: “Manager Gao, I haven’t even eaten yet. Let’s get straight to the point. What do you want to say?”
“Alright! Since Wei Qi isn’t here, I’ll be direct.” Manager Gao stood up and sat next to Shui Miao, lowering his voice: “Madam Lin asked me to assist you in dealing with several department managers. Have you thought of any plans?”
“…”
Shui Miao looked at Gao Bo, stunned, his heart stirring. Could it be that he was really Madam Lin’s man? No, that couldn’t be right! If he were really Madam Lin’s man, she should have called me to inform me, right? Why didn’t she tell me but told him instead? Looking at Gao Bo’s sharp eyes, Shui Miao felt very suspicious.
“Manager Gao, what are you talking about? When did Madam Lin ask me to deal with other department managers? I’m just a small worker. It’s already great if I can do my job well. You saying this really confuses me.” As the saying goes, one should always be cautious of others. Shui Miao thought he should play dumb first, just in case there was something wrong with Gao Bo.
“Really not?”
Gao Bo blinked, seeing Shui Miao’s bewildered expression, suddenly burst into laughter: “Haha… I was just kidding. You actually believed me? I called you here because I wanted to be friends with you. I have a big business, we can cooperate more in the future. To be honest, I’m going abroad tomorrow, and I won’t be back for more than half a month. Before leaving, I wanted to get to know you, come on, let’s not talk too much, I’ll treat you to a big meal!”
“Manager Gao, I can’t accept unearned favors. I’ll just have the staff meal. Also, your joke wasn’t funny at all.” Shui Miao secretly cursed, damn it, dared to play tricks on me, almost making me reveal the truth.
“Oh well! Then, goodbye then, hahaha…”
Gao Bo shrugged his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and turned to leave directly. His unrestrained laughter echoed loudly in the corridor.
Gao Bo had received news from Manager Shao of the maintenance department that Lin Qing’er had newly appointed a waiter named Shui Miao as the food and beverage manager, and that Shui Miao was also planning to deal with various department managers. Upon hearing this, Gao Bo became very interested in Shui Miao and hurried over to see who this Shui Miao was. Seeing that Shui Miao was just a young man who had just entered society, Gao Bo immediately felt a sense of disdain. Seeing Shui Miao’s bewildered and silly expression, Gao Bo couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.
“Hehe, Brother Shao, you’re worrying too much. A little ant trying to trip an elephant, isn’t that just a fantasy…”
Gao Bo was on the phone as he approached the elevator.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the elevator, knocking Gao Bo, who had just arrived at the elevator door, to the ground. Gao Bo felt a sharp pain in his nose, touched it, and found his hand covered in blood…
