Without waiting for Gu Huaiwei to explain, Li Niang took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to stand up, stared into Gu Huaiwei's eyes and said firmly: "Manager Gu, I want to stay with my daughter.
No matter what kind of work it is, I will work hard at it.
I've been practicing new advertising slogans lately. I'm still trying to write my own. I can show you..."
Li Niang didn't want to lose her job at Oasis Hotel. She told herself that she could do better and that as long as she worked harder, she could keep it all.
Gu Huaiwei looked at Li Niang quietly, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes.
She saw the changes in Li Niang, and saw her transform from a silent, forbearing slave to the person she is today who can bravely express her own opinions.
"Don't be anxious." Gu Huaiwei interrupted her with a smile, "Just listen to what I have to say first."
She took out two exquisite Oasis Hotel senior membership cards from her pocket and gently placed them on the table.
Li Niang's eyes fell on the expensive premium membership card, and her heart was full of doubts.
Gu Huaiwei explained, "This is a lifetime membership card. After I leave, if you and Qianxia want to stay, you can definitely stay, but not as employees, but as customers.
I will give you the account I registered on the Dungeon Forum. If you like the sense of value that your work brings you, then continue to help me manage that account and promote the Oasis Hotel.
I can't pay you a monthly salary as I promised, so I'll use this card to offset your advertising expenses for the rest of your life."
"You're not going to chase us away..." She stared at Gu Huaiwei blankly, then realized, "You're the one who wants to leave."
Gu Huaiwei nodded: "Yes, I have more important things to do and can't stay here."
"What's the matter? Can I help?" Li Niang put her hand on her chest, her tone a little anxious.
"You can't help me." Gu Huaiwei was grateful for her kindness, and would also miss from the bottom of her heart the motherly care that Li Niang had given her during this period.
"Can't you stay?"
"No." Gu Huaiwei had already made her second choice, and she wouldn't change it. "After I leave, the Oasis Hotel will be fully automated. All work will proceed as normal, using the same processes you're familiar with. The only difference is that robots will handle the business, not me."
Li Niang continued to ask: "Will you come back?"
"I don't know." Gu Huaiwei's long black hair fell naturally on her shoulders, with a few strands casually hanging on the side of her face, highlighting her fair skin. She shrugged, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Can't you not leave?"
"You've asked that question before."
"Chinatsu and I can't bear to leave you."
Gu Huaiwei leaned back on the soft sofa and smiled, "Me too, but separation is a compulsory course in life."
In this class, Gu Huaiwei herself did not complete her practice.
"I..." Li Niang was a little confused. She had always lived under the arrangements of others and had never experienced true freedom. She didn't know if she could grasp everything Gu Huaiwei gave her by herself.
Gu Huaiwei was silent for a moment. After a moment, she said softly, "It's easy to remove the shackles on your hands, but it's hard to remove the shackles in your heart. Li Niang, you don't need a master or a boss. You are independent and don't belong to anyone."
When Li Niang heard these words, her heart was in turmoil.
It was as if something was breaking and then healing again.
Li Niang suddenly realized that the most precious thing Gu Huaiwei gave her was not the hotel membership card, but the courage to be independent.
"Can I braid your hair again?"
Gu Huaiwei nodded: "Of course."
Li Niang deftly braided Gu Huaiwei's hair into two low-hanging buns with her fingers.
In a voice only she could hear, she said, "May the yellow sands of the wasteland bless my journey as a girl."
After arranging Li Niang and Qian Xia, Gu Huaiwei found Bai Niao again.
She also gave him a senior membership card of the White Bird Oasis Hotel and told him that the Lower Town and Upper Town had fallen out over the fresh water supply interruption.
If he wanted to continue staying at the Oasis Hotel, he could do so as a customer.
When I have time, I help Li Niang and Chinatsu by promoting the hotel or managing the hotel's night market activities.
If he didn't want to, he could follow Carl back and forth between downtown and the hotel to do arms business.
He can also go to the Black Tower Fortress, where the girl with the mechanical arm will introduce him to the fortress lord.
Shiratori accepted the membership card and the indenture without trying to persuade him to stay.
"I saw you take out your Uptown ticket the other day." Shiratori suppressed his inner uneasiness and spoke as calmly as possible, "Where are you going? The Black Spiral Research Institute?"
Gu Huaiwei's eyes lightly passed over Bai Niao: "You guessed right."
"You should have guessed my origins." Bai Niao raised his head, touched the sun cross symbol on his cheek, and simply stopped pretending. "Why haven't you exposed me yet?"
Gu Huaiwei looked into his sapphire eyes with a faint smile on her lips: "If you want to say it, you will say it naturally. If you don't want to say it, I ask you, and you just make up different lies for me."
In fact, if Gu Huaiwei asked, Bai Niao would indeed lie and think about leaving, but she knew that something was wrong with him, but she didn't ask... She just wanted to wait for him to admit it himself, right?
Damn it, he acted like a fool for so long.
How can there be such a bad taste person?
Bai Niao's eyes darkened: "It's very dangerous there. You told Li Niang that you would never come back. Are you ready to die?"
"You're overthinking this." Gu Huaiwei had absolutely no intention of seeking death.
