The Story of the God of War

6. Booking Phoenix Hotels

"Really?" Elena's shocked.

"lyas. Didn't you just see that I was angry when Dani proposed to you?" Kenji.

"Yes, right. But what difference does it make if he offends you? Can you get Universal Group to suspend commercial cooperation with their families?" Ask Elena.

"Actually, I'm the new president of Universal Group" Kenji said seriously.

"Are you kidding? You pretended to be the Defense General last night. Now you say you're the president of Universal Group. Why do you always boast? Don't talk nonsense anymore!" Elena certainly didn't believe it. How ridiculous that is!

Kenji is speechless. He always believed lies easily but doubted the truth. But Kenji was expecting it. So she was telling the truth because she did not want Elena to blame her when she realized the truth in the future. It was his business that Elena did not believe his words at this moment. When he finds out the truth later, he can't scold her because Kenji has told her everything.

"Don't talk about it now. I just came out and got the latest news" Kenji said.

"What news?" Elena asked.

"Today Universal Group fired the manager of the Project Development Department and is hiring a new manager in public right now. You just told me that you want to find a job, right? This is a good opportunity for you. Try it!" Kenji advised.

"I heard it too. But there will definitely be many excellent candidates to apply for the job and the competition for it is definitely acute. I'm not sure I'll be accepted" Elena hesitated.

"Don't worry. Remember that you graduated from a top university and you are experienced because you have worked as a manager at the Slash family company for many years. Believe in your abilities! Never give up before you try!" Kenji tried to convince.

"But the Universal Group is very well known and many people want to take that position. There are so many better candidates than me." Elena could not believe herself at all.

"Actually, I know the new president of Universal Group. I told him to hire you." Kenji persuades Elena because she doesn't dare to apply for the job.

"What's? No one in the Old South City knew the identity of the new president of Universal Group. Why do you know him?" Elena's shocked.

"He was my comrade-in-arms, a friend to the death" Kenji said.

"How can a soldier be so rich as to buy the Universal Group?" Elena was very stunned.

"Well, he comes from a very rich family. Once he was discharged from the army, he inherited the family property and became a billionaire. Besides, he's a typical very secretive person and doesn't want anyone else to know his identity." Kenji.

"Can I trust your words?" Elena still can't believe that Kenji has such a rich friend.

"You'll know after trying. There's nothing to lose even if you fail" said Kenji.

"good. I'm gonna try to apply for that job. If you lie to me, I won't forgive you when I get back!" Elena thought what Kenji said was true. So he decided to try it.

"It's almost lunchtime. Staff will be off duty soon. Let's have lunch now and go there in the afternoon." Kenji advised.

"good. Cook it fast." Elena agrees.

The Slash - family

In the Slash family meeting, everyone sighed all the time as Universal Group terminated the contract it had signed with the Slash family yesterday.

Yesterday, the Slash family was very excited to sign the contract. But now their euphoria was drained away all of a sudden, which was a very terrible feeling for them.

"How come? We signed a contract like that. But it was stopped so soon. Too bad.."

"Who is the new president of Universal Group? Why was he so quick to stop commercial cooperation with the Slash family?."

"I heard that Xavi, the manager of the Universal Group Project Development Department, was fired because he signed a contract with our family. Really true?"

"The reason why Xavi was fired was because his nephew, Andri, offended people he shouldn't have hurt. It has nothing to do with us. It is we who are involved with it.!"

"Universal Group also ended its contract with the Thorn family because Dani offended the same person. Who is this guy?"

"The person they hurt may be the new president of Universal Group himself or his friend.!"

They guessed it, analyzed it, and expressed their views.

"Now, there's no point in sighing. I've heard that Universal Group is hiring new managers for the Project Development Department again. If someone from our family can get this job, we will have more opportunities to work with Universal Group" Jiah said.

"Grandmother's right. We have a lot of talent. Let's try applying for that job." Lina agrees.

"I'll try it too." Joni also agreed.

"good. I'm sure you'll make it. If someone from the Slash family can work for Universal Group, he will be our family hero. We depend on you!" Said Jiah.

At the same time, the Wick family and the Thorn family also held an urgent family meeting at their respective residences to find a solution.

Xavi is fired and Wick's family can't work with Universal Group anymore because Andri has offended someone. So the head of the Wick family rained a curse on Andri in a family gathering. Andri feels aggrieved because she didn't offend anyone but Kenji.

Like Andri, Dani is also blamed in the Thorn family gathering. His family lost over a hundred billion because he offended the same people.

In the end, the Wick family and the Thorn family follow the Slash family, sending their outstanding family members to apply for jobs as managers of the Universal Group Project Development Department.

In the afternoon, Elena prepares her resume and goes to Universal Group with Kenji to apply for the job. There were a lot of people there when they arrived. Many elite candidates are eager to become managers of Project Development Departments such as Lina and Joni.

Seeing so many competitors, Elena came back nervous. It is very difficult to emerge as the best candidate among them.

"Could it be that your comrade-in-arms, the new president of Universal Group, will listen to you?" Elena asked Kenji worriedly.

"Don't worry. We are friends. I told him to accept you to work here." Kenji said confidently.

Hearing Kenji's confident words, Elena decided to trust him once again.

Nila, the principal manager of Universal Group, is in charge and interviews candidates in person. Kenji decides to hire Elena. But Nila could not tell her subordinates directly. So he has to do his own interview now.

Nila did not want to waste her time because the candidates were very numerous. So he immediately rejected the candidates when he saw they were not Elena. Nila also rejected Lina and Joni as soon as they entered. The interview was just a formality. Nila was waiting for Elena but she couldn't call.

Lina and Joni saw Elena when they came out.

"Elena, do you also want to apply for this job? You better give up. They don't want us because we're Slash's family" Joni said.

"Don't break his resolve. I had asked the god and he told me that Elena would be successful and accepted!" Kenji pretended to say in a serious tone.

"Don't say it again. I don't believe in your bullshit!" Lina said angrily. This morning Kenji predicted that Xavi, Uncle Andri, would be fired. Then it becomes reality.

"When Elena became the manager of the Universal Group Project Development Department, remember what you said at the dinner banquet and don't ask her for help!" Kenji said intimidating.

"Nobody's gonna ask for your help. You are so arrogant. He hasn't gotten the job yet" Lina said.

"You are very brave. Let's wait and see" said Kenji.

After a while, it was time for Elena to conduct an interview. Elena entered uneasily.

After confirming her name in the resume, Nila said, "Mrs Slash, you meet all my requirements. So I decided to hire you. Fill out this form if you have no questions. Then you will be the manager of the Universal Group Project Development Department."

"That's it?" Elena couldn't believe it. Nila did not even ask her question or read her resume completely. Then Nila decided to hire him.

Elena felt like money from heaven! Is it true that Kenji has told his fellow soldier, the new president of Universal Group, to hire him?

"Yes. What else do you expect?" Seeing Elena's shocked face, Nila began to wonder how she would react if she knew her husband was the president of Universal Group.

"good. I'll fill out the form soon." Elena was very happy.

After which, Nila said to Elena, "Welcome to Universal Group. You can come to work tomorrow."

"Thank you, Miss Slayer." Elena did not know how to describe her feelings. Looks like Kenji and his comrades in arms are very close.

"Together, Miss Slash. Universal Group is lucky to have you." Knowing that Eliza would be the next president, of course Nila respected her a lot.

"Miss Slayer, I'll do my best." Elena felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Nila's praise.

"You will be responsible for the development of the project. You have the right to choose our business partners. But the president didn't want us to cooperate with the Slash family. If you want to do that, you have to get his approval first." Said Nila.

"All right." Elena actually did not understand why the president did not want to work with the Slash family. He wondered, "Did he also have a problem with the Slash family, or did he just do it because of Kenji?"

For the past three years, the Slash family had never been nice to him. Last night, they even fired him. Elena also did not want to work with them. Since the president's orders are in line with his wishes, he will gladly obey them.

"You can go back now. Come here tomorrow, eight o'clock in the morning!" Nila told Elena.

"thank you. Bye bye!" Elena's gone.

Lina and Joni were satisfied when they saw Elena with an empty face. "I told you they wouldn't recruit anyone from the Slash family. You're not listening to me." Said Joni.

"Kenji, I think you're really a fortune teller. Look, you failed this time. You even want us to beg you? Come on, who do you think you are?" Lina.

After that, Lina and Joni left. Kenji frowned looking at Elena's empty face. Did Nila disobey her and not accept Elena?

"Elen, are you okay? Did they not accept you?" Kenji asked.

"I got the job!" Elena was excited to tell Kenji after he recovered from his shock.

"Then why are you so upset?" Kenji was confused to see his reaction.

"Because I think I'm dreaming. It's not real.'" Elena Obviously.

"Well, since you got the job, let's go home!" Kenji.

"Yes. I can go to work tomorrow." Elena said to Kenji when they came home.

"After bad luck comes luck. Last night you were fired from your family's company. Today you just got a better job." Kenji laughs.

"It looks like you and your comrades are very close," Elena said.

"of course. I saved his life a few times when we were in combat. " Kenji explained.

"You two are soldiers. Why is he so great and you're like this?" Ask Elena.

Kenji thought for a moment before saying, "He was born into a wealthy family and is the heir to his family's wealth of thousands of billions. How can I compare to him?"

"After all, I still wish you could change a little. I don't need you to be rich. I just hope you can act like a soldier and shoulder your responsibilities. Find a job." Elena said.

"alright. After the wedding is over, I'll find a job." Kenji.

After finishing the marriage, he would go to the Western Land to get involved in the fight. It was a job to protect his country.

"good. Actually, I don't care about the wedding. We could have a simple wedding. I don't care to be embarrassed anymore.!" said Elena.

Kenji felt guilty but was also moved by his words. He felt guilty because Elena had experienced so much because of him. She was moved by not expecting Elena to want to hold a simple wedding ceremony because she thought Kenji had no money.

Kenji didn't want to explain too much about the wedding. He had decided to give Elena a big surprise on the twenty-sixth and make up for it.

Elena was in a good mood after getting the job. He goes shopping with Kenji and buys some new clothes, as well as buying them for Kenji as well.

Leon has given Kenji the Highest Spade Card. But I don't want to use it now. So Elena paid the bill.

"This morning, Wini invited me to attend a class reunion. Come with me!" Elena feels amazing, so she decides to take Kenji to a reunion party.

"Why do you want me to go with you?" Kenji was surprised by the invitation.

"I'll help you meet more new friends. If there's a pretty girl who likes you, maybe I can stay away from you." Elena joked with Kenji for the first time.

"People are just bragging about themselves at a reunion party. I don't like it." Kenji.

"You just declined my invitation?" Elena's upset.

"No, I didn't mean that. My wife is the prettiest woman in the Old South. Of course, I have to go with you to the class reunion.!" Kenji must inevitably accept the invitation.

"I don't want to go either. But Wini asked me to go with her. So, I had to go." Elena said.

"I understand. Wini and you are good friends. Let's go to the party.!" Kenji. Wini often goes to her house to hang out with Elena, so Kenji has a good impression of her.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, another big news came out. An unnamed man has rented one of the most luxurious hotels in South Old Town, Hotel Phoenix. The entire Phoenix Hotel! The reservation happened on the twenty-sixth.

"The whole Phoenix Hotel? Has the man lost his mind?" Elena commented.

"Persian. The Phoenix Hotel has a number of floors. A huge waste! That guy is crazy.!" Keny commented.

Actually Kenji knows it's Leon, who's trying to organize a big wedding for him and Elena. But he didn't really have to book the entire Phoenix Hotel.

"What a coincidence. The man also ordered for the twenty-sixth. What does that man want to do?" Elena wondered.

"I think he might want to have a wedding party" Kenji said.

Elena was frustrated because of their wedding anniversary on the same day. He said, "Which scoundrel would choose the same day to throw a wedding like us? Does he hate me?" Kenji was surprised by Elena's words because the bastard his wife called him was her.

Kenji didn't want to tell me too much about it. Elena will find her own surprise on the twenty-sixth. He doesn't want to ruin it now.

In the evening, Elena and Kenji go to a reunion.
