Chapter 141 The Innocent Boss's Secretary is Hot
Xu Songning lied through his teeth, "Sure, we can make good use of empty rooms; they're just sitting empty anyway."
This was different from what Xiang Yun had heard. The waiter had previously said that men were not allowed to go to the upstairs rooms, but Xu Songning had changed his story, resulting in inconsistent testimonies.
"real?"
“Really? Every place has its own little rules, so you can’t just say them out loud. If everyone knows, someone will definitely try to take advantage of it, and then it will be difficult for Qiaoqiao to manage. I didn’t come here specifically to do this; I was just doing something convenient,” Xu Songning said in a low voice.
Looking at her earnest attempt to explain, Xiang Yun wondered how much truth was in her words.
"Take a look at the menu." Xu Songning handed him the menu.
While he was looking at the menu, she secretly sent a message to Zhou Qiao. Since Xiang Yun was worried, she would find a way to put his mind at ease and take him directly to the room to see it.
Xu Songning: Call someone to tell me to come upstairs to find you.
Zhou Qiao: ? You're here? Just come on up, what's going on?
Xu Songning: Xiang Yun is here too. This time, I must put an end to Lili's thoughts!
Zhou Qiao: Understood, I'll arrange it right away.
Xiang Yun wasn't really interested in eating. He casually ticked two dishes on the menu with his pencil. "What do you want? Crayfish or prawns?"
Xu Songning casually replied, "Either is fine."
He selected one spicy crayfish and one garlic prawn, and handed the menu to a passing waiter.
The waiter quickly took the bill and left. Xu Songning waited and waited, checking his phone every now and then.
Zhou Qiao is a bit slow at doing things. Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?
Seeing that she was sitting uncomfortably, Xiang Yun asked her softly, "Is something urgent?"
"No, I just don't know what Zhou Qiao is busy with, she hasn't come down yet." Xu Songning gritted his teeth.
Just then, someone came over with a plate and winked at her. "Sister Xu, the boss wants you to go directly up to her. She's a bit busy right now."
"Oh, really?" Xu Songning responded cooperatively. She looked at Xiang Yun and asked sincerely, "Brother Yun, would you like to come along?"
Xiang Yun was worried about not being able to go up and take a look, but when she took the initiative to invite him, his doubts began to waver. Could it be that she really wasn't Lily?
"Is it alright if I go up? Will it affect Boss Zhou's rules?" Xiang Yun said, trying to sound like he wasn't so eager to go up.
Xu Songning understood his little scheme perfectly, and suppressed a laugh, "It's okay, we can just sneak up there, no one else will know."
"Alright then, I'll go with you." Xiang Yun agreed reservedly, as if she had been internally debating, but in reality, she had wanted to agree for a long time.
Xu Songning cheerfully led the way. The first to third floors were the entertainment area, and the fourth floor had staff lounges, changing rooms, and storage rooms. The materials used on the fourth floor were very expensive, perfectly isolating the noise zone. By the time they reached the fifth floor, the noise from downstairs was barely noticeable.
Xu Songning, fearing he wouldn't ask, specially explained to him, "These are the guest rooms Zhou Qiao prepared for guests who are unable to find someone. They are all decorated according to hotel standards and the price is low. They are mainly for providing a safe place to stay for guests who are drunk and cannot find a contact person."
“That’s a good point,” Xiang Yun agreed, glancing at a row of rooms down the corridor.
There weren't many rooms, and he remembered very clearly which door he came out of that day.
But it wasn't time to clean, and the door was tightly closed, so the interior furnishings were completely obscured.
Xiang Yun vaguely remembered that the room was not entirely like the hotel room. The blue sheets had a light fragrance, and the pillows were so comfortable that they didn't seem like cheap hotel pillows. All of this seemed to tell him that this person was probably a frequent guest.
Like a pervert, he searched online for information about staying at the Liberty Bar. Some people had posted photos; it was just a regular hotel room with white sheets, white pillowcases, and two ordinary high and low pillows.
"Do you and Lu Xiaomeng have a designated room?" he asked.
Xu Songning shook his head. "No, we usually stay at Zhou Qiao's place. She has a two-bedroom apartment. Come on, I'll take you to see her. She should be there."
Xiang Yun wanted to go inside and see if the furnishings in the room were the same as he remembered, but he couldn't bring himself to do this strange thing.
He had no solution, but Xu Songning did. She had to come up with a way to give Xiang Yun the universal room key so that he could have a chance to check out those identical rooms.
"Is there a restroom on this floor?" Xiang Yun asked.
Xu Songning immediately pointed in a direction for him, "There, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
As soon as Xiang Yun left, Xu Songning immediately sent a message to Zhou Qiao.
Xu Songning: Where's the universal room key? Bring it to me urgently!
Zhou Qiao: ?
Mr. Zhou didn't quite understand, but he did as instructed.
Xu Songning walked back and forth in the corridor several times, but still didn't see Zhou Qiao come out. She had already planned it out. After she got the room key, she would put it in a conspicuous place on the cleaning cart, and then she would pretend to go to the toilet. Xiang Yun would then be able to go to that room and take a look.
As she paced anxiously, footsteps finally came from the other end of the corridor.
Her eyes lit up, and she saw Qin You the moment she looked up.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Songning asked in surprise. Had Qin You's status risen so quickly? He wasn't even allowed upstairs before, but now he's allowed into the house? Did Zhou Qiao give him the opportunity to serve her?
"Why can't I be here?" Qin You glanced at her.
Before he left, Zhou Qiao was chatting with him, and she was being secretive and wouldn't let him see. He was already unhappy that Zhou Qiao was hiding something from him, and when Zhou Qiao was about to go out to deliver the room key, he became suspicious.
Could Zhou Qiao be keeping ducks upstairs? With so many rooms, it would be too easy for her to hide someone.
We didn't let him go upstairs before, so we were keeping him as a pet to prevent him from bumping into things?
Today he insisted on following me around, but as soon as Zhou Qiao entered the house, she started chatting privately with Xu Songning. Could it be that she asked him to cover for her?
The thought of Zhou Qiao secretly raising ducks made him extremely unhappy, so he offered to deliver the room key himself, and to his surprise, Zhou Qiao actually agreed!
As he walked along, he finally understood why Zhou Qiao had agreed so readily. She wasn't afraid of being discovered because Xu Songning was covering for her. The two of them really were up to something!
"Didn't Qiaoqiao usually not let you go upstairs?" Xu Songning felt that Qin You was unusually angry today. She reached out and urged, "Where's the room key? Give it to me quickly."
Xiang Yun's excuse to go to the restroom was too weak, and she didn't know when he would come out. She needed time to carefully set up a trap.
"Are you in a hurry?" Qin You pressed his finger heavily on the room key and handed it over.
"Nonsense, how can I not be in a hurry?" Xu Songning went to get the room key, only to find that he was holding it tightly, refusing to let her take it away. "What are you doing?"
"Oh."
Qin You sneered and tore the room card back.
Xu Songning was so angry her head was throbbing. She glanced instinctively at the bathroom and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Oh? Hidden in the toilet?" Qin You sneered.
Xu Songning was completely baffled by his question, "No, what are you talking about?"
Just then, Xiang Yun came out of the bathroom, wiping the water droplets off his hands.
His eye-catching shirt, which accentuated his figure, combined with his tall and well-proportioned physique, really irritated Qin You.
Qin You was furious. "Oh! There's even a themed cosplay? What kind of cosplay are we doing today? The innocent boss's hot male secretary?"
Xu Songning: "???!"
