Chapter 217 Owner of the Haitang Garden Mansion

• At that moment, seven or eight men in uniform were walking in a formation around a charismatic-looking, middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, as they hurried down from the hilltop office. Wang Erzhu immediately stood to attention and saluted. “Good day, Manager Wu!”
• This middle-aged man was the manager of Mount Haitang’s estate department and Wang Erzhu’s superior, so he immediately handed Manager Wu a cigarette in an attempt to flatter him. “Manager Wu, I was just about to report something to you, and I hope you’d allow it. This man is a childhood friend of mine called Chu Feng, and he’d like a job on our security force so I need your sign for that.” He pointed to Chu Feng, then thumped his chest. “No worries, I’ve assessed his character and competence, and he’s completely reliable. So just place him under my command as a little guard, and he’ll do anything you say. Odd errands, pouring tea and suchlike—”
• Manager Wu and the others suddenly held their breaths and their faces paled.
