"Joey, what happened?"
"Take it easy, no need to get angry with these people."
"Did these people steal something? Should we call the police?"
Liu Shishi and the other two rushed over as quickly as possible, comforting Joey while glaring furiously at the security guards in front of them.
Joey shot a fierce look at the other side and then recounted the whole incident.
Upon hearing that their good friend had been bullied, the three of them looked indignant.
"What are you two slacking off for here? Guests are coming and going, what kind of impression does this make!"
Just then, a man in a suit walked over.
When he saw the two security guards and Liu Shishi's group gathered together, he immediately frowned.
This person was the security manager of the hot spring resort. He had originally planned to take it easy for a couple of days while the boss wasn't around.
But unexpectedly, a few hours ago, the boss suddenly held an all-hands meeting, specifically emphasizing the security work of the hot spring resort, and then directly stationed himself in the monitoring room.
Under these circumstances, as the security department manager, he had to leave his comfortable office and patrol with the other security guards.
As a result, while patrolling near the entrance, he found two security guards 'slacking off', which naturally infuriated him.
"Manager, this woman was just live-streaming with her phone. Didn't the boss just say that this is a special period, so..."
Scolded by his superior, the two security guards immediately explained what had just happened.
However, during their explanation, these two guys completely shifted the blame for the phone being smashed onto Joey.
Hearing the two security guards twist the truth right in front of her, Joey immediately exclaimed, "You two are truly shameless! You clearly smashed my phone, yet now you not only deny it but also blame me. Are you even men??"
"Guest, please speak politely. This is a private establishment. Since you are here to spend money, you must follow our rules. Furthermore, your live-streaming here involves using our hotel's environment for profit. In fact, we can sue you!! But if you leave obediently, I will let this matter go."
It had to be said that as the security manager, the man in the suit was vastly different from his two subordinates.
These two security guards, going back and forth, only knew how to say the phone being smashed had nothing to do with them, and beyond that, they didn't know what else to say.
But when the manager arrived, he didn't argue with Joey about who was responsible for smashing the phone. Instead, he pointed out that Joey was using their hotel's environment for profit, which was an infringement of rights and illegal.
Although Joey was strong-willed, she couldn't compare to a seasoned veteran like the security manager. In her previous jobs after graduation, she had never encountered anyone like him.
Therefore, for a moment, Joey was stunned by his words.
Seeing Joey's predictable reaction, the manager's lips couldn't help but curl upwards. He tilted his head towards the two security guards beside him, signaling them to drive the people away.
The security guards had been cursing in their hearts while being lectured by the security manager, but seeing that he had resolved the issue with just a few words, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as they were about to follow the security manager's orders and escort Joey and her friends out,
"Your resort, in nature, is a public place. Since it is a public place, there is no problem with my friend live-streaming. As for the hotel regulations you mentioned, firstly, there are no warning signs at your entrance, and secondly, no one has notified the consumers who come here. Based on your word alone, this action is an unreasonable clause!!"
"Furthermore, your hotel's security guards forcibly took my friend's phone. In legal terms, this can be considered robbery. Now, we intend to resolve this through legal channels. We hope you will behave yourselves!!"
Liu Shishi's voice was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
After she finished speaking, Joey, who had been stunned by the security manager's words, couldn't help but clap her hands in approval.
"You, you, you, did you all hear that? Your actions are illegal!! Now we are going to seek legal recourse, you guys are in big trouble!!"
Fortunately, Liu Shishi was here, otherwise, she would have been scared off by this security manager in minutes.
Now, seeing the security manager and the two security guards with crestfallen expressions, Joey felt incredibly pleased.
"What are you two standing there for? Get them out! You want to take legal action? On my territory, I can still let you turn things upside down? Go, go, go, all of you get out!!"
The security manager was also taken aback at first, but after recovering, he again ordered his subordinates to drive Liu Shishi and the others out.
Even if what Liu Shishi said was true, it didn't matter. After all, this was the territory of their hot spring resort. They had already made arrangements with both legitimate and illegitimate connections, so they weren't afraid of them causing any trouble.
Furthermore, if anything were to happen regarding the phone snatching, smashing, or driving people away, he could simply shift all the blame onto these two security guards.
The security manager's calculations were running wild in his mind.
"What right do you have to kick us out?"
"Exactly. You snatched things, smashed the phone, and now you're forcibly kicking us out? This is absurd!"
"We advise you to think carefully and not make another mistake!!"
"What are you doing! Don't lay a hand on us, I'm going to call for help!!"
Liu Shishi and Joey, along with their friends, never expected that the security manager would not play by the rules and directly ordered them to be driven out.
With people coming and going around, the girls naturally couldn't really get into a physical altercation with the security guards. So, in a short while, they were driven to the entrance of the hot spring resort.
"You two stay here and watch. Strictly prohibit these women from entering. I've already spoken to Ah Lei and the others. Two more people will be coming later to join you. Today, you will be responsible for guarding the entrance and preventing any unauthorized personnel from entering!!"
Watching Liu Shishi and the others being driven out, the security manager couldn't help but reveal a sneer.
A few mere women wanting to contend with him, how naive they were.
As for their intentions to pursue legal action, the security manager had already devised a countermeasure, so he wasn't worried at all.
As for the two security guards who had a conflict with Joey earlier, although they felt a bit hesitant, unsure if this was the right thing to do, given the situation, they could only go along with it and do it first.
