Chapter 17 Meeting Kelly Again

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind." The lobby manager cried and nodded.

Martin looked coldly at the lobby manager "I will tell your chairman about you beating my friend. As for what he will do with you next, that will be up to him."

After that, Martin called the fat man and they walked back to the hotel, leaving the flabbergasted lobby manager.

"Inform the chairman?" The lobby manager heard that Martin wanted to inform the chairman of the hotel about his behavior. He was so scared that he collapsed on the floor. If the chairman of the hotel knew, he would lose his job.

"Michael, report this to the chairman of the Ocean Hotel." Martin instructed.

"Yes, Mr. James." Michael nodded.

Martin looked at the fat man again. "Fatso, have you let out all your anger after that?"

"Of course! Thanks to Martin, I couldn't have taken revenge without your support. I was so relieved to see him look scared and begging for mercy." The fat man looked excited.

The fat man in the past had no choice but to endure this kind of wretchedness. Who said that their background was inferior to that of others? But now that Martin had backed him up, he didn't have to suffer anymore!

......

Not long after Martin returned to the VIP lounge, the chairman of the hotel came to apologize to Martin and the fat man and said that he had fired the lobby manager.

......

In the wine hall, there were still about twenty minutes to go before the party began. More than 40 people had gathered in the reception hall, and all the invited guests had basically arrived. The scale of the party was not large, and only companies that had cooperative relations with Gold Group were invited.

Because the party hadn't officially started yet, many bosses gathered in small groups to chat.

In one table, a middle-aged man was sitting with a young girl wearing a lot of makeup.

If Martin were here, he would recognize the girl with heavy makeup immediately. Because, this girl was the girl that the fat man introduced to Martin in the bar the day before yesterday, Amanda Rusk.

At that time, Amanda also showed off to Martin that she had been invited by the Gold Group party.

The middle-aged man beside Amanda was his father.

"Amanda, I've heard that the new chairman is very young. After the party, I will find an opportunity to meet him in private. Then you must work hard. If he fancies you, then our family will be in good hand!" Amanda's father told her.

What Amanda's father meant was that he was basically asking her daughter to seduce the new chairman.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll do everything I can!" Amanda seemed to be looking forward to it as well.

Amanda and her father's company was a very ordinary small local company and was even much worse than the Jeremy's.

Amanda certainly knew that once the chairman became hers, then her family could take advantage of this opportunity.

It was important to mention that she was one of the people who did not know that the new chairman was Martin James.

......

"The boss of Ernie building materials company wants to see you." Michael informed.

"What can I do for him?" Martin asked.

"They should want to talk about cooperation with us and we happen to be looking for a partner with building materials company. However, their company is small in scale and does not have any advantage in terms of price." Michael informed.

"You can just talk to him if that was the case. Explain it to him." Martin waved his hand.

"Understood." Michael nodded and retreated.

Not long after Michael went out, the fat man rushed into the VIP lounge, out of breath.

"Martin! Guess who I saw in the reception hall!" The fat man gasped heavily, but he looked very excited.

"Look how excited you are." Martin said, amused. "Who did you see?" He asked with a smile.

"Remember the girl who paid for us at the restaurant last night?" The fat man was still gasping for breath.

"What? Did you see her at the party? Really?" Martin rose from his seat in surprise.

"That's right! She's in the hall where the party is held! I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong!" The fat man smiled and nodded.

"It seems that we really are destined to meet!" Martin smiled brightly.

Martin thought last night that he hoped to see the girl again so that he could pay her back for the money he owed her. But knew how difficult it would be because of the vast crowd.

Unexpectedly, she attended the party.

"Go! Let's go and see her. It's time to pay her back for the meal yesterday."

Martin and his friend happily went out of the lounge.

In a corner in the reception hall, there stood a beautiful woman in a white coat and jeans, brimming with youthful sunshine.

Her name was Kelly Mike, the girl who paid for Martin at the Feast Restaurant last night.

Kelly saw her father coming. "Dad, how's it going? Have you seen the new chairman of Gold Group? Is he willing to cooperate with us?" She hurriedly asked.

The lean middle-aged man shook his head gloomily. "No, it was the general manager who talked to me. Although I did my best, he still declined."

When Kelly heard this, her pretty face flashed with disappointment and sadness.

"Don't be sad, Dad. Business is like this. Gold Group also does business to make money. They naturally have to choose better material suppliers. It's just that we are too weak and uncompetitive." Kelly comforted her father.

"I know." The lean middle-aged man nodded; his face covered with helplessness.

Kelly hadn't said it yet, but she secretly made up her mind that after the party was over, she was going to talk to the new chairman herself to try convincing him.

Because Kelly knew that if they couldn't make a deal with the Gold Group, given the current situation of their company, it won't be long before it will go bankrupt. This was their last chance.

"Hello, we meet again!"

Just then, a voice sounded behind Kelly.

Kelly turned around and saw that it was Martin and the fat man.

Because the bosses at the reception had hardly met Martin, they did not know that Martin was the new chairman of Gold Group, so when Martin entered the reception hall, it did not cause any commotion.

"Oh, it's you." Kelly recognized Martin and the fat man at a glance, but she looked a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet them here.

"I didn't think it was really you. I didn't expect us to see each other again. It seems that God really wanted me to return the money to you." Martin said.

"I didn't expect to run into you again either." Kelly smiled.

Martin had to admit that her smile was very beautiful. She could easily melt people's hearts with it.

"We were destined to meet; don't you think so? Oh, how about telling me your name this time?" Martin smiled back.

Kelly chuckled and decided to tell her name. "All right. My name is Kelly Mike."

"Kelly Mike, well, that's a good name!" Martin exclaimed.

"By the way, Kelly, give me your bank account and I'll transfer the money for you. I don't have much cash with me. I'll prove to you that I'm not a liar. I really had my wallet stolen yesterday." Martin said.

"No, really. I'm sure you're not a liar. Just take that meal as my treat." Kelly waved her hand.

Kelly never thought about getting the money back in the first place.

"Kelly, who is he?" Kelly's father, who was standing next to her, finally asked.

"Dad, he was a man from the restaurant yesterday. He had some trouble in the restaurant, so I gave him a hand." Kelly answered.

"Kelly, you are still so nosy. You are a girl. Why do you care so much about those things?" Kelly's father reprimanded

Kelly did not answer and only kept her head down. Clearly, her father was very strict on her.

"Hello, uncle. My name is Martin James. Nice to meet you and your daughter." Martin stretched out his hand to Kelly and his father.

Abel didn't refuse, reaching out and shaking hands with Martin. But his attitude was very insipid.

Martin looked at Kelly again. "By the way, Kelly, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here for the party, of course." Kelly said.

"Oh? So, your family also cooperates with Gold Group? May I know what kind of cooperation it is?" Martin said curiously.

"We'd like to work with the Gold Group, but our company is too small to catch their attention."

There was a glint in Martin's eyes when he heard this.

The fat man beside him couldn't help laughing. He wondered how Kelly would react if she found out that Martin was the new chairman of Gold Group.

"Kelly, is it convenient for you to tell me the name of your company?" Martin asked.

"Ernie Building Materials Co., Ltd." Kelly said.

"Ernie Building Materials Co., Ltd.?" Martin was startled. Because when Martin heard the name, he suddenly remembered that Michael had just reported to him that the boss of Ernie Building Materials Co., Ltd. wanted to see him.

Then, Kelly looked at Martin. "By the way, what about you? What are you doing here? Is your family in partnership with Gold Group?"

Martin thought for a moment, then he smiled. "I'm here because God knows that you'll be here, so he asked me to come here to pay you back."

Martin didn't rush to tell her who he was.

When Kelly heard those words, she covered his mouth and smiled secretly.

But Abel's face looked a little gloomy. "Hey, are you flirting with my daughter in front of me? Do you think that's a good idea?" Abel asked with a straight face.

Martin suddenly got embarrassed and Kelly also blushed. "What nonsense are you talking about, Dad? We're just having a conversation."
