Chapter 563: Old Friends

"Tsk tsk, but no matter what, you still own a hotel!" Yu Yingying patted her friend's shoulder, feigning jealousy as a form of consolation, then continued with a touch of self-deprecation:

"Look, you're an invitee to this kind of event!"

"And me? I can only take advantage of the special treatment given to the hotel's little princess!"

"What you're saying..." The person who wasn't comforted at all rolled their eyes in anger.

However, Wen Zili, who had been watching the commotion with An Songyu, kindly spoke up:

"It's okay, everyone has their own strengths."

"You didn't come to our school to study hotel management because you wanted to open a hotel; you just wanted to travel and see more of the world!"

"Oh yeah..."

Seeing how easily she was coaxed, An Songyu and Yu Yingying couldn't help but shake their heads.

Yu Yingying hadn't forgotten the important matter: "Have you made up your mind yet? Are you coming back to Shuncheng with us tonight, or are you going straight to Fengyin Bay?"

“Aren’t we staying here tonight?” Ana asked Wen Zili on the other side.

Wen Zili also subconsciously looked at An Songyu and the other person. She had told them before she came that she would let them arrange everything.

An Songyu and Yu Yingying were utterly helpless: "When did we say we'd be staying here tonight?"

"But... their party obviously won't end so soon."

"We finally got to see Princess Pan and Ayu again!" Ana blinked her deep eyes, looking at the other three with a puzzled expression.

"It's only noon!" An Songyu sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Besides, the senior students also need to consider the junior students who came today. We can't expect the hotel to accommodate them all tonight!"

“Oh right…” Ana realized instantly.

She smiled at the group, looking rather embarrassed.

"Then you should start thinking about it now! Decide whether you want to come back to Shuncheng with us today, or go check out Ayu's hotel," Yu Yingying urged again.

If she hadn't mentioned it so many times herself, it wouldn't have been possible.

Yu Yingying wouldn't give her that choice either!

Given her personality, she could simply bring the person home.

Anyway, they have food and lodging there, and neither of them can stay for too long.

Wen Zili also looked at Ana, waiting for her decision.

She was like an older sister at school. Although she wasn't the oldest, she always made a point of considering other people's feelings because of her good manners and lifestyle.

The hotel's little princess circled around in the crowd, but after looking several times, she still couldn't find An Songyu.

It wasn't until later, through a senior who was quite familiar with An Songyu, that she learned that the four of them had actually found a corner to hide in.

This infuriated her!

The hotel's little princess strode over with an air of indifference.

An Songyu couldn't help but swallow.

At this moment, she couldn't even bother chatting with her roommates anymore and quickly said, "Princess Pan is here!"

"Zili, Ana, did you see them when you came over?"

Wen Zili and Anarhan both looked at An Songyu in surprise; the hotel's little princess could be considered the hostess today.

There's no way they wouldn't have greeted the hotel's hostess!

Yu Yingying, who was standing next to her, understood the situation very well.

If she's right, her friend is about to be snatched away by the hotel's young mistress again.

In the eyes of the hotel's little princess, the three of them could do whatever they wanted on this occasion.

Anyway, they're not in the hotel industry anymore.

Or perhaps there's no need for any effort at all.

But An Songyu was clearly different.

Her half-dead Fengyin Bay Hotel is probably only something that she and her family aren't worried about at all!

Sure enough, the hotel's little princess walked up to them in just a few steps.

He forced a smile at the three of them, then looked directly at An Songyu.

An Songyu felt embarrassed and obediently stood up.

He sighed softly and said to the three of them, "Well... I'll go with Princess Pan to greet some acquaintances first."

In fact, An Songyu didn't know who she could talk to.

But in business... especially since they have a bond from being classmates.

Whether they knew each other before or not, with the hotel's hostess by their side, the greetings were always polite.

He practically handed over a whole bunch of phone numbers, and his face was practically frozen from smiling.

An Songyu was finally released by the hotel's little princess in a moment of mercy.

It wasn't that she was willing to let them go, but the next step was for the senior students to get to know the prospective junior students better.

By bringing An Songyu along, it's easy to make people think she's trying to poach talent.

After all, An Songyu now owns a hotel.

I didn't look around the entire banquet hall; apart from those who own and run their own hotels, there was no one else there.

Even other classmates who were also working in the hotel industry were not invited.

On the contrary, it is people like Yu Yingying who have left the hotel industry.

And only those like Wen Zili, who have been incorporated into the state and, although also in the hotel industry, are on completely different tracks, are fortunate enough to be invited.

An Songyu wasn't exactly well-informed about the situation to begin with.

But after sitting down and listening to Ana say a lot, I realized what was going on.

She couldn't help but look at Ana with admiration.

Just like Wen Zili said, everyone has something they are good at.

Look at her, even though she's far away in her hometown, she has a deep understanding of her classmates' whereabouts.

Even the upperclassmen know quite a bit about it.

On the contrary, she and Yu Yingying have been appearing in Nanshi recently.

But because I was so busy, I didn't pay attention to any of the news at all.

Feeling uncomfortable under An Songyu's obvious gaze, Ana shifted her posture.

Yu Yingying, standing to the side, seemed rather moved.

She gave her friend a resentful look: "I actually have to get this information from you, an outsider!"

"What a waste of my gossip skills!"

“Yeah, you haven’t been showing up much lately, and it’s so boring for me to gossip all by myself!” Ana agreed with Yu Yingying.

This caused the lingering admiration on An Songyu's face to freeze.

Looking at this familiar scene, Wen Zili felt as if she had returned to school.

She lightly clinked her wine glass against An Songyu's before smiling and saying, "It seems we should find more time to get together."

She felt that after being with her roommates, the tension she had always been holding in had eased considerably.

An Songyu sensed the sigh in her tone, but didn't press her for details.

After all, her work involves a degree of confidentiality.

So she had no choice but to ask, "Is it really only possible to stay for two days this time?"

“Yes! My job isn’t so busy that I don’t have time, but I don’t get many holidays either.” Wen Zili nodded regretfully.

"What about your annual leave? You've been working for over two years now, you should have taken it by now, right?" Ana immediately came over when she heard this.

Wen Zili looked at her helplessly.

The hotel she stayed at was a place that was particularly strict about rules and regulations.

She did indeed work for more than two years.

However, the length of her employment is calculated from the date she received her graduation certificate.

Before that, I was just an intern or a holiday worker.
