The first blind date ended like this, and Liu Xiaoyuan was even called a poor loser by the other party! It was a disastrous start!
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyuan was broad-minded and didn't hold a grudge against Song Huiyue. Besides, what Song Huiyue said was true; Liu Xiaoyuan was indeed a poor loser right now!
When he got home, his mother was a little angry. She had gone on a blind date with her son full of hope, hoping that he would marry a virtuous daughter-in-law. However, she did not get a daughter-in-law and was even called a poor wretch.
Liu Xiaoyuan's mother was so angry that she scolded Song Huiyue for being a bad girl with no manners!
With comfort from her father and Liu Xiaoyuan, her mother's anger subsided and she felt better.
"Xiao Yuan, didn't you say you found a job and would start today? Why aren't you going to work?" Dad suddenly asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan then remembered that he needed to go to work. He quickly told his parents and rode his motorcycle to town!
Today is my first day as general manager, so it wouldn't be right for me not to go.
Upon arriving at the Huaqiang Hotel, the receptionist had changed; she was now an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, very pretty, especially with her big, captivating eyes.
The girl was wearing the hotel uniform, a white shirt on top and a short skirt on the bottom, which perfectly outlined her figure.
Those big eyes, along with the bangs on her forehead, made the girl look even more innocent and cute.
"Are you here to stay or to eat?" Liu Xiaoyuan had originally intended to ask the receptionist to call the lobby manager so she could take him to the general manager's office, but the receptionist asked him first.
Liu Xiaoyuan learned from the name tag that the receptionist's name was Yang Zihan. However, when the receptionist saw Liu Xiaoyuan looking in her direction, her pretty face turned red and she lowered her head, thinking that Liu Xiaoyuan was being a pervert.
Seeing that Yang Zihan had misunderstood him, Liu Xiaoyuan quickly looked away and said, "I'm looking for your lobby manager, Wang Qing. Could you please give her a call?"
"Okay!" Yang Zihan replied softly, her head bowed.
She seems to be a shy little girl!
Soon, Wang Qing walked over and greeted Liu Xiaoyuan with a "Hello, General Manager." Yang Zihan, standing to the side, looked at Liu Xiaoyuan in surprise. She never expected that this young and handsome man in front of her was actually the hotel's general manager.
Hmm, I heard the hotel's general manager is the owner's son. Wow! So the general manager is a rich second-generation heir, and so handsome at that too, it's just outrageous!
"Manager Wang, please take me to my office," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Wang Qing.
Wang Qing smiled slightly, exuding a unique charm. Wang Qing is like a ripe apple, while Yang Zihan is like a green apple; each has her own merits.
"General Manager, please follow me!" Wang Qing smiled slightly at Liu Xiaoyuan and then led the way.
"Goodbye!" Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and waved to Yang Zihan.
Yang Zihan, who was lost in thought, snapped out of it and said in a panic, "Goodbye, General Manager."
The general manager's office is on the top floor of the hotel, the eighth floor. The office is about 70 or 80 square meters in size, which looks very grand. On the side facing the street, there is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. When you are tired from work, you can stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and overlook the scenery of the town. You will feel a sense of grandeur, like standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the mountains.
"General Manager, you go ahead with your work. I'll head out now. Call me anytime if you need anything," Wang Qing said.
"Okay!" Liu Xiaoyuan nodded.
After Wang Qing left, Liu Xiaoyuan plopped down in the boss's chair, humming a little tune and swishing the chair around.
What a twist of fate! Just yesterday, Liu Xiaoyuan was considering when to return to the provincial capital and what kind of job to look for, but today he's sitting in the position of general manager of Huaqiang Hotel.
"Sigh!" Liu Xiaoyuan sighed, slapped the table with both hands and stood up. This sigh from Liu Xiaoyuan was not a sigh of lament, but rather a sigh of joy.
After standing up, Liu Xiaoyuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the street view, then went to his desk and dialed Wang Qing's number.
Soon, Wang Qing knocked on the office door, and Liu Xiaoyuan called her in.
"General Manager, is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Qing asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Manager Wang, please show me around the hotel! As the general manager, I can't be completely clueless about it!"
So Wang Qing became a guide, leading Liu Xiaoyuan to the hotel's kitchen, engineering department, monitoring room... basically walking through every corner of the hotel.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Wang!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Wang Qing after returning to the lobby.
Wang Qing shook her head and said, "It's no trouble at all, General Manager. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now."
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded, and Wang Qing went to attend to her own business.
Yang Zihan looked somewhat frightened when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan walking towards her, because she had just mistaken the general manager for a hooligan. Although she didn't say it aloud, anyone with a brain would understand.
"Good morning, General Manager!" Yang Zihan glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then lowered her head somewhat fearfully, speaking very softly, as if afraid that if she spoke too loudly, she would startle the sun in the sky and make it fall down.
"Damn! Do I look that scary?" Liu Xiaoyuan touched his chin, wondering if he looked like a fierce demon.
"Yang Zihan, am I that scary?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan immediately lowered her head and shook it vigorously, saying, "No, no."
"Then why do you act like a mouse seeing a cat when you see me?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan looked up at Liu Xiaoyuan and saw him staring at her with a smile. She blushed and lowered her head again.
"Welcome!" the waiters standing at the door said in unison, indicating that guests had arrived.
Liu Xiaoyuan turned his head and saw a pair of men walking in hand in hand. The woman had a smile on her face, and her high heels made a clattering sound as they walked on the ground.
Holy crap! Isn't this world a little too small?
Liu Xiaoyuan was so surprised because he recognized the woman who walked in; she was Song Huiyue, the woman he had gone on a blind date with that morning.
She just went on a blind date this morning, and less than two hours later, she was already holding hands with another man. That's a bit too fast, isn't it?
The man next to Song Huiyue was in his early twenties and wore a thick gold chain around his neck. Whether it was real gold or gold-plated was unknown.
The moment Liu Xiaoyuan saw Song Huiyue, Song Huiyue also noticed Liu Xiaoyuan.
Song Huiyue was surprised to run into Liu Xiaoyuan here, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes. Then, she looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with disdain, as if to say, "You poor wretch, you come here to spend money when you have none, you're just putting on a show!"
