Chapter 365 — Everyone Knows Everyone

"Whatever you need to say, say it plainly." Uncle Tian sounded a little annoyed. "You are the leader's heir, and your word carries the same weight as the leader's!"
"It is like this — some classmates and I went to his second grandfather's birthday banquet, but there are no rooms left. Do you still have a place to stay on your side?" Wei Zhao asked.
"That is all?" Uncle Tian was taken aback, for the matter was really too simple. "Are you attending Kang Laicai's birthday banquet?"
"The surname is Kang — they call him Divine Doctor Kang, though I do not know whether it is this Kang Laicai." Hearing the name Divine Doctor Kang, Wei Zhao felt a chill of disgust. As expected, the man deserved his reputation as a master at making money.
"Then it is him." Uncle Tian laughed. "The resort has been booked out entirely by the Kang family, but I keep a villa of my own that is not open to outsiders. You may come over."
"Good, I will head over now and call you again once I reach the resort." Wei Zhao added a word of caution: "My identity at present is that of a student."
"I understand." Uncle Tian replied with a chuckle. As for Wei Zhao's identity and what he meant to do, he would not pry too much.
Wei Zhao hung up and returned to the car. "It is settled, let us go," he said to Kang **.
"Go where?" Kang ** was startled.
"To that Moon Over the Sea Resort, of course!" Wei Zhao said as he started the car.
"But the resort has no rooms left... Leader, you found a connection?" Kang ** grew excited at once. "We can stay at the Moon Over the Sea Hotel too?"
"Mm..." Wei Zhao nodded. "The owner of the hotel is an elder of mine."
"My God, Leader, you are incredible!" Kang ** was filled with admiration, flames of triumph blazing in his eyes. At last he could hold his head high!
His second uncle had refused to let him stay, had he not? Well, he would stay anyway! It did not matter that there were no rooms — he did not need his second uncle to arrange one. He had a room of his own to stay in!
Seeing Kang ** so worked up, Tang Zhi glanced at Wei Zhao with some curiosity. It seemed that whatever trouble came his way, it melted away before him. He knew the owner of the Donghai Moon Over the Sea Hotel? He certainly knew a great many people!
"Ha... come now, do not be angry. Not only do we have rooms, we are staying in a villa!" Wei Zhao consoled Kang ** with a smile.
"A villa? You cannot be serious?" Kang **'s eyes went wide. "I have heard that Moon Over the Sea has only thirty luxury villas in all, of which just twenty are open to outsiders and ten are kept for private use... Well, since you know the owner, Leader, naturally we can stay in one of the private villas!"
Though Wei Zhao did not know where the Moon Over the Sea Hotel was, before leaving he had removed the navigation GPS from Shen Yushu's Beetle and installed it in his own car.
It was a very famous hotel; a single search on the navigation system gave him a clear route map.
Kang **'s second uncle — that is, Kang Jingming's father — was at that moment standing at the entrance of the Donghai Moon Over the Sea Resort with Kang Jingming, welcoming the arriving guests.
As for Kang **'s eldest uncle, now president of the Divine Doctor Kang Pharmaceutical Group and far more important than Kang **'s second uncle, he was inside the hotel at that moment keeping company with several distinguished guests.
"Leader, that is my second uncle, and the one beside him is Kang Jingming..." Kang ** pointed at the people not far off and introduced them to Wei Zhao.
"**..." Xiaofen caught a faint glimpse of that figure and closed her eyes in something like fear... This was the man she had once yearned for day and night, though at this moment Xiaofen could not say clearly what she felt toward him.
Attachment? Hatred? Or fear?
Kang ** gripped Xiaofen's hand tightly and comforted her: "It is all right... it is all right. With me and the Leader here, no one will bully you..."
