Male POV

CEO

Face Slapping

“Sorry, but due to the holiday, we’re overbooked. Your reservation has been canceled. Here’s a fifty-dollar voucher as compensation.” The hotel front desk clerk handed me a voucher with a perfunctory tone. I looked at her coldly. Then, I looked at the man next to her, who had just arrived. He had not even shown his ID, yet the clerk respectfully handed him a presidential suite key card. “Why can he check in without even showing an ID? Meanwhile, my room, which I booked a full week in advance, was canceled without explanation. And all I get is a lousy fifty-dollar voucher?” The front desk clerk let out a scornful laugh as she walked up to me. “Because he’s Mr. Ludwig, the heir of Grandview Group! His family owns the entire hotel. Do you think it’s just a matter of one room? If he wanted the whole hotel emptied out tonight, we’d do it. Who do you think you are? “If you keep standing here causing trouble and getting in his way, I’ll have security drag you outside and beat some sense into you. Now, get out!” Two security guards stepped forward. They grabbed me by the hair and roughly pulled me toward the door. My scalp hurt badly from the pulling, and my clothes were wrinkled. The front desk clerk’s shouts trailed behind me. “Next time, stay in a motel. People like you can’t afford to travel on a holiday.” I looked at the hotel’s grand entrance. Instead of shouting, I let out a quiet, exasperated laugh. The heir to Grandview Group, huh? They probably did not know that their lofty heir was right in front of them, and that he was being humiliated by their staff. Since they refused to serve guests decently, only catered to people with status, and did not think twice about hurting and humiliating their other customers, this hotel might as well shut down.

Chapter 1

The two security guards dragged me to the door like I was a sack of trash.

They shoved me hard in the back.

I went flying onto the marble floor outside the hotel. Dust covered my face.

The guards put their hands on their hips and spat down at me.

“You’re a broke piece of trash. Did you really think you could come here and trash the Grandview Hotel?

“Take a good look around. This place isn’t for the likes of you.

“You’ve got some nerve trying to grab a holiday room, then throwing a fit when you don’t get one.”

The front desk clerk also walked out slowly in her high heels.

She looked at me contemptuously and said, “Let me make this clear. Mr. Ludwig is meeting a major client here today. Stop being an eyesore and getting in the way.

“If you upset Mr. Ludwig, he won’t just take away your job, but he could also make sure you never work another day in your life.”

After saying that, she looked at my dust-covered body and waved her hand in disgust.

“Now get lost. Don’t dirty up our hotel entrance.”

Nearby tourists were drawn to the scene. They gathered in small groups.

“Some broke loser was trying to scam a free hotel room. and got himself thrown out. How embarrassing.”

“Oh wow. I’ve seen so many of these people. They’re just lowlifes.”

A wave of chatter went through the crowd.

But after hearing the words “important client,” I immediately took out my phone and looked at the photo my subordinate had sent me.

In the picture was the man who had taken my place earlier.

He was Albert Zorn, the CEO of GreenSource Tech Group. His company would go bankrupt today if he had not signed a partnership deal with me

His company had been drowning in scandals for the past six months.

Tests had found strong cancer-causing toxins in their flagship product.

Public outrage exploded. The entire internet called for a boycott. Factories shut down. Distributors were returning products and demanding refunds.

It was also his last day to repay a one-billion-dollar bank loan. If no solution was announced by tomorrow morning, the bank would freeze all of GreenSource Tech Group’s accounts and force the company into liquidation.

The only thing that could save his company was a new, non-toxic, eco-friendly base material. It had just been developed by Ludwig Environmental Materials LLC, a subsidiary of my Grandview Group.This material was one of its kind on the market. We had the sole patent rights. It could completely solve the problem of harmful substances exceeding safety limits.I never wanted to give them a chance in the first place.Our material had a very high production cost. They would not be able to afford it.But Albert’s elderly father had shown up at my father’s door more than a dozen times, begging on his knees.I eventually gave in and offered them a seat at the negotiation table. We agreed to meet on that day and close the deal.Albert had also called for a media conference at seven in the evening. He planned to publicly announce our partnership and unveil a sample of the new material.I could not figure out why he would impersonate me.When I looked at my subordinate’s name on the phone

“Oh wow. Look at this creep. Someone call the cops and arrest him!”“He looks decent enough on the outside, but his mind is totally filthy. What a lowlife.”With the crowd backing her up, Megan grew even more arrogant.“I seriously think you just stole something valuable from our hotel lobby.“Security! Search his suitcase. Now!”Just as I was about to object, two security guards rushed forward.“You don’t have the right to—”They tore my suitcase roughly. The zipper broke apart. Megan took over herself. She dug through the suitcase wildly with both hands.Soon, my clothes, documents, and materials were scattered everywhere.Malice flashed across her eyes. She picked up a black square box from the suitcase.She smashed it hard onto the floor.The box shattered.The core sample of the new environmentally friendly material inside broke into several pieces. It was completely ruined.Still not satisfied, she grabbed a stack of contracts from the floor.She tore them into sh

“Who do you think you are? How dare you bully my fiancee? You’re asking to get killed!”I did not look at him. I turned to look at the front desk clerk beside me and asked, “Are you sure that he’s Mr. Ludwig from Grandview Group?”The front desk clerk looked smug and said confidently, “Of course, I’m sure! For the past year, he and Megan have personally told me to save the presidential suite for his friends every single time. There’s no way I’d mistake him.“Plus, every single employee in this hotel knows who he is. What are you even doubting?”I let out a cold laugh and looked back at Albert.“From what I know, Mr. Ludwig from Grandview Group is still single. He doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”Albert’s expression darkened. He stepped forward and punched me in the face.“You’re looking for a fight, aren’t you? I am Mr. Ludwig! Some lowlife like you doesn’t deserve to know anything about my private life.“I’m going to teach you a real lesson right now.”Megan chimed in. “Tha

It was an old woman’s voice.“May I ask who’s calling?”“Who’s this? Put Victor on the phone.”“Oh, I’m Victor’s mother. He just had emergency surgery for acute appendicitis. He’s too weak right now and has already gone to sleep.”“I need to talk to him about something really urgent.”Victor’s mother sighed.“I’m sorry, but he was given a painkiller shot. I can’t wake him up at all.”Alb

“Let’s go! The press conference is still on!”After I was locked in the holding cell, I actually found it to be a rare moment of relief.Ever since I turned eighteen, I had been handling the various affairs of Grandview Group.For ten whole years, I had worked like a hamster on a wheel.I ran non-stop without ever daring to rest.Without my phone, it allowed me to catch my breath.In the holding cell, I met a man named Charles Carroll.He was a forty-two-year-old senior reporter at a media company. He had been doing in-depth investigative journalism for nearly twenty years.As we communicated more, it turned out he had inside knowledge about Albert’s GreenSource Tech Group that I never even knew.At the same time, he also told me the reason why he had been brought in.His eight-year-old daughter had been diagnosed with acute leukemia. For two years, he poured every last dollar of his savings into her treatment and ran up a huge amount of debt.Just a few days ago, he final

“Sign the contract with me right now!“The bank only gave me seven days without seeing a contract. If you mess around and delay signing again, I swear I’ll kill you.”I lowered my eyes and looked at the hand gripping my collar. I let out a cold snort.“Oh. Aren’t you Mr. Ludwig of Grandview Group? Why are you yelling about wanting to see him?”Upon hearing that, Albert froze. He became even angrier.“Don’t play dumb with me.“You recognized me already, yet you still didn’t call us out. You’ve been putting on an act from the very beginning. You deliberately messed with me, didn’t you?”The more he talked, the angrier he got. He raised his other fist and prepared to punch me in the face.My gaze turned sharp. I raised my hand, grabbed his wrist precisely, and twisted it hard.He winced in pain and immediately let go of my collar.I took a step back and adjusted my collar. I said in an indifferent and deliberate tone, “Mr. Zorn. Are you trying to start trouble in the Grandvi

Victor’s words completely shattered Albert’s hope.“How is this possible? You’re actually Mr. Ludwig...”I ignored him. Instead, I turned to look at my assistant following behind me and ordered, “First, put together a special investigation team immediately. Go through every hotel under Grandview Group, especially Riviera’s branch.“Second, look into Megan. Find out how many people she has given special treatment to under my name since she was hired.“Third, every manager, security guard, and front desk worker at that Riviera hotel is to be fired on the spot. That includes the executives who hired Megan. Demote them and fine them according to company policy.“All staff involved in this debacle will be added to the industry blacklist. We will circulate their names across the entire hospitality sector. They’ll never be hired by any hotels again.”After saying this, I stopped looking at Albert and Megan. I walked straight toward the elevator.I had only just taken a couple of steps

I smiled coldly. I was not afraid of him. I said indifferently, “Albert, I’ve hated ultimatums my whole life.“Do you want to play games? Fine. I’ll play with you.”With that, I hung up the phone.After work that evening, I had just driven my car up from the underground garage when a dense crowd of people immediately surrounded me.There were reporters from major media outlets. There were also over one hundred employees of GreenSource Tech Group holding signs.Albert and Megan stood at the very front.I pushed open the door and stepped out fearlessly. Everyone immediately crowded around me.“Mr. Ludwig, is it true that you secretly took photos of Ms. Lund?”“Why did you refuse to cooperate with GreenSource Tech Group and push them into a corner with no way out?”“Do you really feel no guilt at all when you see an old man kneeling on the ground?Albert seized the opportunity. He pointed at me, and he incited his employees to fight me.“This is him, Corbin Ludwig! He tries

“That’s not all. She also worked with a supplier of low-quality ingredients. She took kickbacks and illegally made over seven hundred thousand dollars.“The evidence is right there. Grandview Group has officially filed a report with the authorities. We will make sure she faces every single legal consequence.”After hearing that, Megan’s legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the floor.Albert’s eyes darted around. He began to stir up the GreenSource Tech Group employees behind him.“Don’t listen to him! If GreenSource Tech Group goes under, every last one of you is out of a job!“Corbin did this to us. He cut off our way to make a living.“Everyone, come with me. We need to demand an answer from him!”Hundreds of GreenSource Tech Group employees were incited by him. They grew restless and began to approach me.I remained calm as I said, “Everyone, calm down. I also have a whistleblower report right here. Charles spent over a year digging to get this.“Albert had a gambling addi
