Chapter 51
Pei Qing walked back to his rented place in a daze. As soon as he got home, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he collapsed on the bed.
There weren't many people in the house at this time, most people were still in class.
But she was surprised that Susan was here.
Seeing her come back, Susan put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand and said, "Hey, don't you have class today?"
Pei Qing put down the book in his hand and replied, "Yes, there was one class, but it's over. The second class was a useless class, so I skipped it."
Susan was a little surprised to hear her say the last three words. After all, in her eyes, Pei Qing was a person who studied hard, made progress every day, and lived a very sunny and cheerful life.
It is rare to hear the word "skipping class" from her mouth.
"I never thought that one day even you would skip class." Susan said with a smile.
Pei Qing didn't answer her question, but asked: "You...the part-time job you mentioned last night..."
Having said this, she paused, as if what she was going to say next was something very difficult to say.
Because she had never worked part-time in such a place. Even if she had a part-time job, it was some relatively hard work. Later, when she went to college, she worked part-time to pay for her studies or went out to tutor.
It won’t be so hard.
But now, she urgently needs money.
Susan knew what she meant from the first half of the sentence she said.
She sighed slightly. "It's nothing, actually. But I know it's hard for someone like you to accept. But, in order to survive, you have to give something, right?"
“…”
Susan didn't notice that she didn't say anything, but instead lowered her head and rummaged through something in her bag.
Then she took out a gold-stamped business card and placed it on the table. "This is a letter of recommendation. Take this to the Audley Hotel, and they won't give you any trouble."
Susan had already finished putting on her makeup. She stood up and patted Pei Qing's shoulder soothingly. "I've left the business card here. If you need it, you can take it. If you don't, just throw it away."
Seeing her like this, Pei Qing couldn't help but ask: "Are you ready to leave?"
"Yes. Today is my last day here." Susan smiled.
"What if... you were deceived?"
"Then I'll just call it my bad luck." The woman shrugged nonchalantly. "If you want something, you have to pay for it. I know that very well."
As she said that, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
But just as she reached the door, she thought of something and turned to look at her, "If you need any help, you can always tell me. I will do my best to help you."
"Okay. Thank you." Pei Qing was stunned for a moment and responded subconsciously.
As the door closed, she was the only one left in the room.
She looked at the gold-plated business card on the table, and after hesitating for a while, she decided to take it.
The business card was cold, just like her mood at the moment.
In the afternoon, Pei Qing changed into his relatively clean clothes.
And he took a taxi very luxuriously and went to the Audley Hotel.
The hotel is located in the center of her city.
There are all kinds of economic companies and law firms around.
At the same time, those who can afford to stay at the Audley Hotel are not ordinary people.
Compared with their suits and ties, her clothes looked a little shabby.
But she still walked in holding the business card Susan gave her.
As soon as she entered the door, a waiter walked up to her with a smile and asked in very standard English: "Hello, Miss. How can I help you?"
Pei Qing looked at him and said, "Hello, sir. I think I would like to apply for the front desk position in your company."
As soon as she said this, the other party looked as if he understood. "Okay. Do you have a business card for that?"
Pei Qing wasn't sure if the business card he was talking about was the one Susan gave her today, but out of caution, she handed it over anyway.
The waiter took the business card, looked at the name on it, handed it to her, stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and still maintained a smile on his face, "Miss, please follow me."
He took her into an office on the top floor.
This was the first time Pei Qing stayed in the city center for such a long time.
When I came here before, I just came and left in a hurry.
The room was very big, bigger than the place she rented.
The waiter poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Please wait a moment. Our manager will be here soon."
"Okay. Thank you," she replied.
She gripped the cup to try to soothe her trembling.
Soon, the door of the room was pushed open.
The manager here is a blonde woman who looks to be in her twenties.
She was wearing a smart suit and holding a clipboard as she sat across from her.
He spoke without hesitation and got straight to the point: "You should know that we are currently looking for a front desk staff member who can work the night shift. Since you have our CEO Li's business card, it counts as an internal referral. Here is the contract between us. Please take a look. If there are no problems, you can sign it and come to work tonight."
Pei Qing looked at the thin pieces of paper pushed in front of her, which looked like normal contracts in Country M.
However, because she is still a student, her treatment is somewhat different from that of the formal workers here.
But overall, it was more than what she earned from her previous four part-time jobs combined.
"I wonder if there are any spare rooms here, as I live quite far away..." She asked the question somewhat awkwardly. "Of course, if it's inconvenient, I can totally accept some of the terms in the contract."
"..." The woman knew what she wanted to ask. She thought for a moment, "I need to ask Mr. Li about this matter. If you have enough time, you can wait for me for a while."
Her words were meant to be playful, and Pei Qing nodded quickly, "I can wait for your reply."
After the woman walked out from here, she walked straight to the end of the corridor.
She knocked on the door, and a cold voice came from inside: "Come in."
She pushed open the door and saw three people sitting in the office.
Two men and one woman.
One of the men sat in the main chair, while the other man and woman sat on the sofa not far away.
They seemed to be talking about something just now, but after she came in, they stopped talking.
"Mr. Li, Miss Pei needs a staff dormitory. I wonder if she can apply for one?"
The man sitting in the main seat glanced at her indifferently, as if he was displeased with her behavior: "Jinna, I thought you were a smart person. You don't need to ask me for instructions on such a small matter."
But the woman was not intimidated at all. Instead, she looked at the woman who was leisurely beside her and replied respectfully, "Because according to the information we have received, this Miss Pei seems to have an unusual relationship with Miss Qiao."
Her words successfully drew the other two's attention to the woman.
Qiao was originally dozing with her head down, but suddenly she heard someone mention her name, so she raised her head. Fortunately, she heard what Jinna had just said.
His face was hazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet. "Which Miss Pei? Why don't I remember knowing any Miss Pei?"
She reached out and brushed the hair that was hanging in front of her face back. Her tone was groggy, as if she had drunk too much.
He Shanyi looked at her helplessly, "What did I say? I told you not to drink so much last night..."
He looked at Jin Na and said, "Don't worry about this drunkard. Arrange a room for Pei Qing."
"Okay, Mr. He."
After saying that, Jinna left.
The atmosphere between the two people just now made Li Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, raise his eyebrows with interest. "How come I didn't know there was such a woman around Qiao?"
"Who knows?" He Shan turned his eyes away. "Qiao Ye's thoughts are beyond our comprehension."
"How do you say that?"
"Just a little lover." He Shanyi replied indifferently.
"Oh?" Liming's interest grew even stronger. "Even if it's just a bed partner, isn't it ungentlemanly to ask your bed partner to find a part-time job?"
Li Ming's words had just fallen when he was interrupted by a voice that sounded like a smile but not a laugh.
"Isn't it gentlemanly to respect your partner's hobbies?"
Hearing the sound, the two people looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Li Ming didn't pay much attention to her sarcasm. "But there aren't many people who like part-time jobs."
Qiao didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Why is she here?"
It goes without saying who the "she" here refers to.
"Susan recommended me here with my business card." Dawn shrugged.
"Susan?" Joe didn't know this person either.
"The daughter of Su Yaoping, who was sued for owing too much debt." He Shanyi answered her doubts.
When he said that, Joe knew who it was.
"I didn't expect that you like this kind of down-and-out girl?" Qiao also glanced at him.
Leon Lai didn't deny what she said, "Rather than saying I like down-and-out women, I'd say I like women who are very compatible in bed."
Qiao also took a deep breath and said, "If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."
As she said this, she was about to leave, but was stopped by someone behind her.
"Are you sure you want to drive back now? If we find out, it'll be all over tomorrow's headlines. I even have a title ready: 'Oreka Logistics CEO Fined for Drunk Driving'."
Hearing He Shanyi's words, Qiao Ye's head began to ache again. "Get me a room. I want to get some sleep. You two little bastards made me drink three bottles of wine last night. You still have the nerve to say that?"
"Okay." Dawn shrugged. "Your room is on the ninth floor, room seven. I hope you enjoy your stay."
As he spoke, a room card was pushed in front of her.
Qiao also picked up the room card and said, "Thank you."
After leaving Dawn's office, Joe walked towards the elevator and prepared to go down.
After she pressed the floor button, someone pressed the elevator button and the elevator door opened again.
She was a little surprised to see someone coming in from outside, and the person was also a little surprised to see her.
Standing outside the elevator was Pei Qing, who had already signed a contract with the hotel.
If you want to go down from the top floor, there is only one elevator available.
