C129 The Mission Is to Take Back Our Rights

"I won't just sit back and take it. I'm the boss, after all. If it comes down to it, I'll have Manager Xiao fired!"

Lin Dong said, looking at Lin Ruobing.

"Have you considered the consequences? If Manager Xiao leaves, his loyal subordinates, whom he's groomed, might follow him. Or they could stay and sabotage your business. Are you prepared to lose your business over this?"

Lin Ruobing reasoned.

"I can't just let him get away with it!"

Lin Dong was visibly frustrated.

He was not one to back down, but at this moment, he felt helpless.

It was the first time he had faced such a situation, and it was almost too much for him to bear.

"Ding! Host has triggered a random quest: Reclaim Your Authority!"

"'The strong should not be defeated by the petty. In the face of the shameless, you must valiantly reclaim what is rightfully yours!'"

"Complete the quest to unlock rewards??? (Available upon quest completion)"

"Begin your mission now!"

The system notification blared in Lin Dong's mind, startling him.

He hadn't expected the system to issue a mission at such a critical time.

"You could start by getting a handle on Manager Xiao, then clamp down on his cronies. Promote your own people, play them off against each other, and create divisions. That way, you can eventually reclaim your power," Lin Ruobing suggested, looking at Lin Dong.

By then, Manager Yang had already left.

He had strutted out, oblivious to the conversation between Lin Dong and Lin Ruobing in the private room.

Lin Dong huffed, "I'd like to confront him, but I have no idea where he is! And it's not certain that we can control him."

"We could call in some backup from the Motorcycle Club. Bashan and the rest are probably at the club right now," Lin Ruobing offered.

"Right, if we bring them here, we won't have to worry about Manager Xiao's men causing trouble," Lin Dong agreed with a nod.

He watched as Lin Ruobing took out her phone and dialed the Skyfire Motorcycle Club, requesting they send people to the Auspicious Hero KTV.

After the call, she put her phone away.

Lin Dong had been watching the entire exchange, dumbfounded.

Lin Ruobing raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you staring at?"

"I couldn't figure out how your phone could vanish like a magic trick. When I was holding you earlier, I didn't even notice it!"

Lin Dong exclaimed, clearly astonished.

"I'd rather not say."

Lin Ruobing gave Lin Dong an eye roll, her tone icy.

She didn't respond to his comment, leaving Lin Dong feeling a pang of regret.

Just then, Zhao Lee, who had stepped out earlier, returned.

She glanced at Lin Ruobing, then turned to Lin Dong and apologized, "I'm sorry about the earlier incident. Manager Yang may have had a bit too much to drink today and spoke out of turn."

Lin Dong casually slipped his hand into his pocket and replied, "No worries. You're Zhao Lee, right? I'm impressed by your capabilities and your approach to handling situations. I'll be promoting you to manager soon. But first, can you tell me where Manager Xiao is?"

"Ah?"

Zhao Lee's eyes widened in shock.

She hadn't anticipated that Lin Dong would still be seeking out Manager Xiao.

"Auspicious KTV is my enterprise. Here's the proof. Take a look."

Lin Dong handed over his phone, displaying an image of an electronic document from the property registration office, clearly stating that Lin Dong owned 100% of Auspicious KTV.

The information, pulled directly from the official website, was indisputable.

Realizing the truth, Zhao Lee finally accepted that Lin Dong was indeed the owner of Auspicious KTV.

Seeing her convinced, Lin Dong retrieved his phone and said, "Manager Xiao and Manager Yang are trying to undermine me. If you assist me and we resolve this issue, I'll put you in charge of Auspicious KTV. Are you interested?"
