Greg Jensen laughed, “Okay, then I’ll trouble you.”
“Haha, Mr. Jensen is too polite.”
Micah Brent laughed it off and then said, “What has Mr. Jensen been busy with lately? How come you haven’t sought out our Zihao? That kid is nothing but lazy bones. You should order him around whenever you can to prevent him from causing me trouble.”
“Haha, my fruit and vegetable supermarket is about to open, and I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to go out and have fun.”
“When is the opening? I’ll come and join the buzz…”
Greg Jensen chatted casually with Micah Brent, informed him of the opening time and location, and then hung up the phone.
Witnessing this scene, Zac Crowe’s face instantly turned pale, and he looked at his mother for help, “Mom, did… did I just lose my job?”
Jasmine Lampe was also a little unsure, but thinking of Greg Jensen’s indifferent demeanor just now, an idea struck her, and she said with a sneer,
“Don’t listen to his bragging—if the man on the phone had really been the head of the Inspection Bureau, would he have spoken so casually?
“Exactly, you see how Greg Jensen was acting; wouldn’t he wet his pants if he really met the head of the Inspection Bureau?”
Reassured by his mother and elder brother’s words, Zac Crowe finally relaxed and mocked, “He performed quite well; I almost thought he really knew the head of the Inspection Bureau.”
Asthon Crowe’s expression also eased considerably. He glanced at Alfred Webb with an emotionless face and said, “Alfred, the son-in-law you’ve chosen is not that great. Not only is he impolite, but he also likes to brag, he’s inevitably going to cause you big troubles sooner or later.”
“Hehe…”
Lois Abbott laughed with a playful tone, “Frog in the well.”
Called out publicly by a junior, Asthon Crowe instantly became livid and blurted
out, “Bitch, who are you calling?”
Slap!
Hearing his father-in-law insult his daughter, Alfred Webb’s long-suppressed rage finally erupted. He slammed the table furiously and yelled, “Who the hell are you cursing? Have I been too nice to you?
As the Crowe family had been living the good life for so many years thanks to Alfred Webb’s generosity, everyone was startled by his outburst, and they all shut their mouths.
Asthon Crowe also knew that angering Alfred Webb didn’t do him any good, but apologizing to his own son-in-law was something he just couldn’t bring himself to do.
Seeing this, Jasmine Lampe quickly mustered a smile, “Alfred, that’s just how your dad is, no filter on his mouth. Don’t stoop to his level.”
“Alfred…”
Heather Crowe looked miserable. She knew the Crowe family had indeed gone too far, but they were her family after all. What could she do?
Alfred Webb’s gaze was stern, clearly enraged to the extreme, but he still took a deep breath and said indifferently,
“Let’s just eat.”
After that, he looked apologetically at Greg Jensen and sighed, “I’m sorry for making you witness this.”
“No worries.”
Greg Jensen smiled and shook his head.
“My dear girl, it’s your dad’s birthday today, don’t be angry, alright?”
“Heh.”
Lois Abbott let out a cold laugh without saying a word.
Seeing this, Greg Jensen gently patted her hand under the table to comfort her, and her expression finally improved a bit.
Knowing his daughter’s temperament, Alfred Webb didn’t try to persuade her further and indifferently called everyone to start eating.
After what had just happened, the Crowe family was noticeably more subdued, silently eating their food.
Greg Jensen and Lois Abbott and the others were too lazy to talk to them. The atmosphere in the private room became very awkward for a while.
“Lois, come on, have some fish…”
To ease the atmosphere, Heather Crowe actively picked up a piece of fish for
Lois Abbott.
Lois Abbott had wanted to throw the fish away, but remembering that today was her father’s birthday, she held back and started eating absently.
After a while, Jasmine Lampe, seeming to think that Alfred Webb had cooled off, boldly said, “Adeline, Anna is about to graduate and is looking to intern somewhere.
She’s studying hotel management, so why not let her intern at our family hotel? We’re all family here, and you could teach her anything she doesn’t understand.”
Alfred Webb frowned and didn’t speak as if considering what position would be appropriate for his sister-in-law.
Lois Abbott spoke up, “No problem, she can start off as a waitress then.” “Lois, what the hell do you mean? I’m your aunt, for Christ’s sake, and you want me to work as a waitress?”
Anna Crowe immediately objected. She was, after all, the hotel owner’s aunt. To make her a waitress would be an insult, wouldn’t it?
Lois Abbott said disdainfully, “What? Not satisfied? I started off as a waitress myself.”
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Alfred Webb interjected, “Enough, stop arguing. Start as the front desk manager then.
To manage a hotel well, you first need to understand how a hotel operates and what the ground-level staff are actually thinking.
That’s why, when Lois Abbott first got involved in the hotel business, Alfred Webb also made her work as a waitress for half a year before gradually promoting her to a manager position.
However, to save the Crowe Family’s face, Alfred Webb compromised and let Anna Crowe start as the front desk manager.
As the front desk manager oversees the hosts and waitresses, it counts as having ground-level work experience, which means she wouldn’t be clueless even if she were to become part of the hotel’s senior management in the future.
Nevertheless, Anna Crowe was still dissatisfied with this arrangement.
She looked incredulously at Alfred Webb and pointing at Lois Abbott said, “What? I’m supposed to be the front desk manager? And I would have to report to her?”
Although Lois Abbott was, in name only, the deputy general manager of Reverie Inn, Alfred Webb hardly dealt with the day-to-day operations, leaving everything in the hands of Lois Abbott.
In other words, if Anna Crowe became the front desk manager, she would indeed be under Lois Abbott’s management.
Lois Abbott disliked the Crowe Family, and naturally, Anna Crowe was a hundred times reluctant.
“Anyway, I’m not doing this front desk manager job,” Anna Crowe said, pouting.
Lois Abbott sneered, “Not satisfied with being the front desk manager? Should I just give you the deputy general manager position?
“Our Anna Crowe is a college graduate; it’s not too much for her to be a deputy general, is it?” Jasmine Lampe said tentatively, casting glances towards Alfred
Webb.
Alfred Webb’s expression grew darker, but he still kept silent, not saying a word.
Lois Abbott didn’t care for any subtleties and immediately burst out in anger, “How about we just hand over the hotel to your family, along with all the Abbott family’s money?
You’re not satisfied with a front desk manager position, what exactly do the Crowe Family want?”
Zac Crowe’s eyes lit up, and his mouth twitched, but he knew better than to voice his thoughts and closed his mouth, looking towards his sister, Heather
Crowe.
Heather Crowe sighed deeply, opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. Jasmine Lampe’s mouth almost curled to the sky in disdain, “As if anyone covets the little stuff your family has…”
Alfred Webb’s face looked very ugly, but it was not appropriate for him to lose his temper.
That’s when Greg Jensen suddenly spoke up, “Heh, if it’s so unimportant, then don’t take a single penny.”
The private room suddenly became quiet; everyone looked at Greg Jensen.
Jasmine Lampe frowned, “Kid, this isn’t your business, you better shut up!”
