Chapter 73 Leaving 2
When the train stopped halfway, Yao Qian saw a familiar person. She remembered that this person was Xie Xin's subordinate.
Yao Qian was instantly gripped by fear, as if she were being gripped by an invisible hand. Her breathing became rapid, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Like a frightened rabbit, she disembarked at the last platform of the train and then fled without stopping.
She was afraid that the clothes would reveal her identity, so she immediately went to a clothing store and bought a loose black dress, tied her hair up, put on a mask, and only showed her eyes.
Finally, we changed our route and chose Yuncheng, the place farthest from Shengcheng. It is a small ethnic minority town with green trees, clear lakes and blue skies. Every brick and tile reveals traces of history, and every blade of grass and tree shows prosperity.
I stayed at a local hotel, choosing a charming and cozy cabin. Calculating my cash, I figured it would last me about six months, but I'd still need a job for the long term.
After two days of observation, I saw that a nearby luxuriously decorated five-star hotel was recruiting after-sales customer service positions, so I went to apply.
The person who interviewed her was a middle-aged woman.
"College students looking for a part-time job during the holidays?"
"If the job is suitable, I can do it steadily for a long time." I responded sincerely.
The middle-aged woman adjusted her glasses and carefully examined Yao Qian's appearance. She couldn't help but admire Yao Qian's fair skin, big watery eyes, and good figure.
"With your appearance, we are still short of people to work at the front desk registration. Would you consider it?" she asked.
"I'm an introvert and don't want to interact with people." Yao Qian said, mainly because the hotel is very large and she has to interact with so many people every day. She is worried that Yu Sheng will discover her whereabouts.
"You are an introvert and not suitable for after-sales customer service. You should think about it! You can be a front desk receptionist and start working tomorrow!" said the middle-aged interviewer.
Yao Qian thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Yao Qian works as a receptionist at the front desk. She specially bought a pair of black flat glasses to cover most of her face, leaving only her pink little mouth exposed.
The front desk reception is divided into day and night shifts. The job is just to register and record. Most of the people who come here to play have booked hotels in advance.
Fortunately, the days were peaceful and without any disturbances. Although life was tight after leaving Yu Sheng, I felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Yao Qian, room 508 is calling, go and see what's going on?" the middle-aged female lobby manager instructed me.
I nodded and walked towards room 508. It was a couple arguing, and they were arguing fiercely.
"Sir and Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Your hotel's aging facilities have affected our accommodation experience and caused us to quarrel. What do you think we should do about this?"
"Which part is aging? I'll report it for you and have it repaired." I responded with standard words.
The woman yelled at me, "Do I need you to fix it? You've ruined our travel experience. Do you know how serious this is?"
Her voice was so loud that it disturbed other residents.
A tall boy walked out of the business suite opposite.
"Sir, Madam, let's solve the problem first. You guys calm down." I tried to calm down the two loud-mouthed couples.
The woman glared at me. "You fix it! If you can't, I'll file a complaint against you."
I held the intercom and said to the lobby manager, I'm just a front desk receptionist and I don't want to be involved in things outside of my job scope.
"Okay, Yao Qian, I'll ask the after-sales staff to come up right away."
"Okay, Manager." I replied.
"Sir, Madam, we have someone to help you. Please drink some water to calm down first." I comforted them.
I handed them the free water provided by the hotel.
At this time, the after-sales staff came and communicated with them. I turned around and wanted to leave.
I turned around and met the face of the tall boy. He was 188 cm tall, with a straight posture, wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, black pupils, and a very sunny and handsome face.
"Yao Qian, it's really you! I only recognized you when I heard your name because of the glasses you were wearing." He looked at me with a sunny smile, which seemed to melt ice and snow.
I stared at the person in front of me, stunned. I had no impression of him. "Who are you?" I asked in confusion.
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he forced a smile: "I'm Lu Wan! I... I wrote you a love letter, and you rejected me."
I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so far away.
"Hello!" My eyes looked a little distant, as if there was an invisible barrier between us.
"Are you working here?" he asked enthusiastically, with anticipation in his eyes.
I nodded. "Yeah! I'm going back to work first!" I didn't want to get in touch with my old friends too much, for fear that news of my presence here would spread back to Shengcheng.
Lu Wan looked at me and asked, "No rush, I...it's fate that we can meet today. Can we leave each other's contact information?"
I was thinking about how to reject him.
At this time, the lobby manager came up and looked at me and said, "Yao Qian, why don't you go back to work!"
"Manager Li, I asked Yao Qian to chat with me for a while." Lu Wan smiled and said to the lobby manager. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze.
"It's Young Master Lu! Then you guys chat. Yao Qian! I'll give you half a day off this afternoon." The lobby manager smiled, patted my shoulder, turned and left.
"Now that you're not working, can you chat with me for a while?" Lu Wan continued to invite, his eyes full of anticipation.
"This is the corridor, let's go to the restaurant to talk!" I said.
I was thinking about how attentive the lobby manager was just now. I almost thought she was going to take me to Lu Wan's room.
Lu Wan looked at me affectionately and asked, "Why do you work here?"
"I... want to exercise myself." I responded with an excuse.
"What a coincidence, this is my hotel." He smiled happily.
I nodded somewhat embarrassedly!
"Why do you come so far away to work?" he asked enthusiastically, his tone full of anticipation for the future.
"I... I quite like the scenery here." I responded casually, with a hint of loss and helplessness in my voice.
“It’s really beautiful here!”
"Lu Wan, can you keep the fact that I'm working here a secret for me?" A hint of determination flashed in my eyes.
"Of course!" Lu Wan nodded in agreement, a bright smile blooming on his face, as warm as the sunshine.
He smiled at me, his eyes sparkling with joy, as if he had found a treasure.
…
On the other side, Yu Sheng's beard had grown a little, and his face was very haggard. He smoked one cigarette after another, as if he wanted to swallow all his troubles into his stomach.
Shen Yi walked in.
"Brother Yu, you can't be so depressed. Don't let your sister-in-law find you and your health deteriorates." Chen Yi was a little worried about Yu Sheng and comforted him.
Yu Sheng ignored Shen Yi's words and asked hurriedly, "Is there any news about her?"
Chen Yi shook his head, "Not yet!" There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his voice.
Yu Sheng was furious in the office, yelling, "It's been a week, why haven't you found it yet?"
"There were too many people on the train, and it's spring, the peak tourist season, so we couldn't find her. Gangzi and Xie Xin have been looking for her here too. Wait a minute!" Chen Yi consoled him.
"How long do you want me to wait?" Yu Sheng roared in dissatisfaction. His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, like an enraged lion.
"Brother Yu, we will definitely find my sister-in-law!" Chen Yi promised, his eyes full of determination and confidence.
"What has He Qingyun been doing recently?" Yu Sheng asked while smoking.
"After the video came out, I felt depressed for a while. Lately, I've been traveling alone, going to school and returning home." Chen Yi said.
"Keep looking, look for somewhere far away, somewhere out of the way! A tourist attraction, a place with beautiful scenery." Yu Sheng analyzed in his mind, his voice full of decisiveness.
"Okay! Brother Yu!"
Chen Yi listened and quickly informed Xie Xin and Liu Gang.
