Moving reunion without worries
The Zhonghua Grand Hotel is one of the largest and most luxurious five-star hotels in G City, formerly known as the Zhonghua Guest House.
In the late 1970s, the state implemented reform and opening-up in Province C. After thirty years of hard work, Province C's economy has developed vigorously, and all high-ranking officials are considered meritorious, including a certain provincial party committee secretary-general He Yunqing.
During He Yunqing's tenure, the state set up a Zhonghua Reception Center in G City, the provincial capital of C Province. All leaders from the capital would stay here and important meetings were also held at the reception center. He Yunqing's eldest son and second son happened to major in hotel management, so they were hired to take care of the reception center.
Later, with the development of the social economy, there were more and more hotels and inns in G City. When He Yunqing was about to retire, he asked the Central Government to transfer the Zhonghua Hotel to the He family for expansion.
The central government, considering He Yunqing's dedication to his duties during his tenure and his contributions to the reform and opening-up of C Province, agreed to his request and formally sold the Zhonghua State Guest House to the He family. The He family then expanded its operations, transforming the guest house into a modern hotel, one of the first five-star hotels in mainland China, which has received numerous honors and awards, hosted heads of state and government from multiple countries, and remains a designated hotel for central leaders.
In the past few years, He's family also bought land near the hotel and built China Amusement Park, China Department Store, China Club, China Building and China High-end Residential Area. The six skyscrapers surrounded each other, luxurious and magnificent, becoming a particularly eye-catching area in G City that integrates work, residence, entertainment and leisure.
Today is not the first time that Ling Yuqian has appeared here, but her mood is the most excited. Yesterday afternoon, Feng Cailan called a colleague in a timely manner and successfully secured this interview opportunity for her. With little time left, Ling Yuqian stopped observing and admiring her surroundings and formally entered the hotel building, finding Cailan's friend according to the instructions.
He was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, with the surname Xia. His gentle and kind attitude made Ling Yu Xuan feel much more at ease.
"I've learned about your general situation from Ada, fill out this form and go up to the top floor with the secretary in 15 minutes for a re-interview with General Manager He." Mr. Xia handed over an application form to Ling Yuqian with a look of appreciation and trust.
Ling Yuqian was filled with gratitude, took over the form and solemnly thanked.
"The resume Ada emailed you yesterday is actually pretty good, but our company has its own regulations. You can just move those materials directly onto this form." Mr. Xia said.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Xia!" Ling Yuqian thanked him sincerely again and began to fill out the form. After finishing it, she followed Mr. Xia's secretary to the reception room on the top floor.
The secretary left first, and the large living room was left with only Ling Yu Xuan. She sat upright on a soft leather armchair, her beautiful eyes scanning around, taking in the luxurious surroundings. Before long, the sound of the door opening came from behind her.
She hastily got up and turned her gaze towards the door. In an instant, as if electrified, she was heavily shocked.
That's the man from yesterday! The one I saw at the entrance of Walton Hotel!
It's heaven... bless!
I met Tianyou again!
At close range, she saw more clearly than last time that the tall and majestic figure was still wrapped in a well-tailored black suit. The handsome face had sword-like eyebrows, eagle-like eyes, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips that were confidently pursed. As he walked elegantly, his whole body exuded an aura of inviolability.
Compared to three years ago, he is more mature and stable, but why doesn't he have a smile on his face? Why are his eyes so cold and distant, without any tenderness? Ah, right, he's still angry with her, that's why he doesn't want to show her affection and pamper her again.
"Cough! Cough!"
A gentle cough brought Ling Yuqian back from her daze.
He walked over and sat down in the big chair across from her, his entire face clearly displayed before her eyes. The perfect handsome face was so familiar, lingering in her mind day and night, only... Tianyou would never use this expression on her, had never done so before, he always said she was his most treasured baby, his forever protected little thing.
Ling Yuqian was infatuated and stunned, while He Wei's head gradually surged with anger and annoyance. He had always known that he had a good appearance, which often made him the target of some women's attention. However, it was the first time he had encountered a woman who dared to stare at him so boldly in this conference room.
The girl in front of me, I have to say, is indeed very good-looking and meets the most basic standards for selecting talent in the public relations department. Manager Xia also specifically mentioned her name when handing over the list. But under the current circumstances, it's hard not to suspect that at least a senior public relations officer shouldn't have such emotional intelligence.
He Yubian's cold and stern face sank even further, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of disdain flashed in his deep black eyes. He slapped the documents on the table and stood up, ready to leave.
Ling Yuqian saw the situation, hurriedly came back to her senses, and chased after him, still without thinking, she grabbed his arm.
The sudden movement shocked He Wei deeply, the soft and tight touch made him dazed for a moment, but soon he coldly shouted, "Let go!"
Ling Yuqian seemed to have not heard, continued to tightly grasp him, looking at his cold and ruthless face, she felt her heart being heavily pounded by a hard object, bringing an inexpressible pang of pain.
"If you don't let go, I'll call security." The low voice was still as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, He Yun struggled to hold back the urge to swing his arm, while constantly cursing in his heart. It seemed that Manager Xia had made a mistake, actually hiring a madman, yes, an absolute madman, a madman who looked extremely handsome, what a... waste of heaven's gift!
Ling Yuqian couldn't help but let go, but she pleaded, "Mr. He, please give me one chance, don't leave, give me one chance."
Going by his usual style, He Wei should have left without looking back. However, for some reason, he turned around and returned to the edge of the office desk. Was it the bitter pleading voice? Or was it due to his respect and trust in Manager Xia? Or perhaps... another reason?
He shook off the annoying thoughts and focused on the resume, then looked up again after a while, expressionless, and started asking questions. "You worked at the Walton Hotel for three years and were promoted to head of public relations half a year ago, which should have been a good prospect, why did you quit?"
It's really him!
The same voice!
Ling Yu Xuan's unsettled emotions suddenly surged up again.
"Brother Ling——Little Sister!" He Yue struggled to hold back his urge to get up again.
Ling Yuqian calmed down and subconsciously replied, "Because... because He Shi Group is one of the top institutions in G City, many people yearn to work here, I... I'm no exception."
"Generally, people find a new job before quitting, but you quit first and then look for a new one...and on your resume, it says you left your previous job yesterday." He Yuxuan's tone remained unchanged, still exuding an air of cold arrogance.
"Because... due to some personal reasons, I... I resigned early." Ling Yuwen's answer was stuttering and incomplete. She had discussed the interview with Cai Lan over the phone last night, but now she couldn't bring it out. She felt her heart was in a mess, so messy that she couldn't clear her mind and didn't know what to do.
He Xuan's eyes flashed quickly, and he continued to ask, "Then what do you think are the conditions that an excellent head of public relations should possess?"
"Uh...... uh......" Ling Yuqian was completely tongue-tied, unable to answer why this was happening, why her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't think of anything or say anything!
He Yue cursed silently in his heart, "SHIT", just as his phone vibrated and he saw the name on the screen. His cold face finally relaxed, and he quickly answered the call, "Tong Tong——"
"Yu, want to have dinner together tonight?" On the other end of the phone was a very pleasant female voice.
"Hmm, where do you want to go eat?" He Xian's expression became even softer.
"I heard there's a new Vietnamese restaurant near our workplace. Want to try it out? We can take a walk in the park after dinner."
"Whatever you want... I'll pick you up after work... yeah, bye."
Just a few words, but they made Ling Yu Xuan feel like she had been struck by five thunderbolts. This extremely gentle and loving tone, this captivating smile that could charm one's soul, once belonged to her alone, was bestowed upon her by heaven as her exclusive possession, but now, the object of it had become another woman.
Darkness!
That's absolutely a woman's name, just like Tianyou used to call himself Xuanxuan, and from his tone, it can be seen that their relationship is not shallow.
As the call ended, He Wei's face also changed. Looking at the woman in front of him "going crazy" again, he felt his patience soaring. This time, he stretched out his hand and knocked heavily on the table, "Bang... Bang!"
Looking at his impatient face, Ling Yuqian clearly knew that she should exclude all distractions and respond well to the current interview. However, she really couldn't do it. She couldn't control the intense pain in her heart. Her usual composure and calmness were destroyed by that phone call just now.
She could confirm that the general manager of this Zhonghua Hotel in front of her was Tianyou, her Tianyou! She wanted to find a hint of familiarity from his eyes, even if it was... resentment or sadness, but there wasn't any! He treated her as if she were a complete stranger he had never seen before, a stranger who came to his company for an interview and performed terribly in the interview. Why... why didn't he recognize her?
"Miss Ling, Miss Ling... The interview has ended. Would you mind leaving first? We will notify you if there is any news." This time, it was a polite and courteous female voice that brought Ling Yuqian back to her senses.
It turned out that He Yu had called in Secretary Xiao.
Ling Yuqian knew that she had failed the interview, disappointing Cai Lan's good intentions. Moreover, her performance was completely abnormal - what normal person would stare blankly at the interviewer with a sorrowful expression, looking dazed and confused?
The secretary began to urge her, but she was as if there were ten thousand great mountains on her head, motionless and continued to stare foolishly at He Yu.
He Wei frowned again, regretting the waste of time just now, and got up resolutely to leave without staying for a moment.
Ling Yuqian had just gotten up from the chair, her two hands struggling to support herself on the office desk. Ignoring the secretary's curious and inquiring gaze, she walked lightly towards the outside, all the way to the women's restroom.
She turned on the faucet, scooped up water and splashed it onto her face desperately. When she lifted her head again, the mirror reflected a pale and disheveled complexion.
She stared blankly for a moment, her throat suddenly tightened, and tears she could no longer hold back burst forth, mingling with the clear water she had just splashed on her face to roll into the washbasin.
"Miss Ling, are you okay?"
That was the secretary just now.
The secretary came in to relieve herself, saw Ling Yuqian crying, and asked out of responsibility and kindness. She thought Ling Yuqian was crying because she failed the interview, so she comforted her, "Actually, you don't have to be upset, we're a big group here, there are many people coming for interviews, although you didn't succeed this time, it doesn't mean you won't have opportunities in the future. Or, you can try other places, G City has some other institutions besides our hotel that are quite good."
Ling Yuqian looked at the worried secretary with tears in her eyes, silently wiping away her tears as she floated out like a wisp of a ghost.
Watching her unsteady back, the secretary felt a faint sense of sadness, Miss Ling, good luck to you, wishing you could find a good job as soon as possible...
