Chapter 40 Something Happened (shuhaige.net)



After Zhang Xiaoju, that shrew, left, Liu Haimin hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyuan, how do you know Liu Jun won't be released?"

Liu Haimin felt that Liu Xiaoyuan was different after he came back this time. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different, but he felt that Liu Xiaoyuan was more capable than before, and that he, as his father, couldn't quite figure him out.

"Dad, don't worry about this. I'll take care of Liu Jun's situation. You and Mom don't need to worry." Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want his parents to worry about this.

Seeing this, Liu Haimin stopped asking questions.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiaoyuan followed his father home, leading the cow and carrying a hoe.

After getting home, taking a shower, and having breakfast, Liu Xiaoyuan rode his family's power-up motorcycle to work.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan overheard the hotel staff discussing that Lin Xin was not only planning to invest and build in the county town, but also in his own town, saying that he had already found a suitable plot of land on a piece of wasteland not far from the Huaqiang Hotel.

If Lin Xin really invests and builds in the town, he will attract investment, and with the increased flow of people, the town's economy will be boosted, and the town will become prosperous.

The news that Lin Xin, chairman of Yuanda Group, returned to his hometown to invest and build has dominated the headlines, with local TV stations broadcasting the story.

When Liu Xiaoyuan was bored, he went online to take a look. Wow, the Yuanda Group's negotiations with the government this time not only had the mayor come, but even provincial officials came to accompany them, which shows how much the government attaches to this matter.

At the same time, this also indirectly proves the strength of Yuanda Group!

Around 1 p.m., Liu Xiaoyuan went to the lobby to stretch his legs!

"Welcome!" Liu Xiaoyuan was chatting with Yang Zihan when another guest arrived.

Liu Xiaoyuan turned around and saw four elderly men in their sixties or seventies walk in. The one in the lead was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes, and was leaning on a cane. He had a kind face. Judging from his attire and his energetic demeanor, he was either a retired cadre or a businessman.

The three elderly men behind him were clearly old men who had lived in the countryside for many years. Their clothes were worn out and their hands were covered in calluses.

Liu Xiaoyuan saw the old man at the head of the group and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

After entering the hotel, the three elderly men behind me seemed to be visiting such a high-end place for the first time. They looked around and appeared somewhat reserved.

"Gentlemen, you must be having lunch, right?" Liu Xiaoyuan greeted them as he stepped forward.

The elderly man at the head of the group nodded and said, "We're here for a meal. We've heard that your hotel serves very authentic food, is that true?"

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Grandpa, all the chefs at our hotel are locals, so the food we make naturally tastes like home."

Seeing the old man in front of him, Liu Xiaoyuan guessed that the man must have gone out to make a living when he was young, and later achieved great success. When he got old, he missed his hometown and went back home to visit. When he saw his old friends, he brought them to the hotel for dinner.

"Alright, give us a private room," the old man said.

The hotel staff led the four elderly men to a private room on the second floor and then handed them the menu.

"Hey guys, you guys order." The leading old man handed the menu to the three old men and let them order.

After the three elderly men took the menu, they looked at it for a while, ordered three dishes, and then handed the menu to the eldest man in the group.

"Hey guys, let's order a few more," said the old man at the head of the group.

The three old men shook their heads and said, "No need, it would be a waste to eat too much."

Upon hearing this, the elderly man at the head of the group said nothing more. After ordering another dish, he handed the menu to the waiter and asked, "Does your hotel have rice wine? The kind you brew at home!"

The waiter said, "Yes, it's all brewed by our hotel using rice."

"Then give me a pound!" the old man said.

Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the time; it was 1:30. He was feeling a bit hungry, so he said to Yang Zihan, "Zihan, let's go eat together."

Yang Zihan said, "General Manager, you go first. I can leave after Xiao Hong arrives!"

"Then I'll wait for you!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, pulling out a chair and sitting down next to Yang Zihan.

Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Yang Zihan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She secretly glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, her heart pounding like a deer.

"Could it really be as Mom said, that the general manager has feelings for me?" Yang Zihan thought to herself, her heart pounding wildly, and her pretty face flushed.

Liu Xiaoyuan turned his head and was about to speak to Yang Zihan when he suddenly noticed that Yang Zihan's face was flushed. Liu Xiaoyuan quickly asked, "Zihan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

It's no wonder Liu Xiaoyuan thought that way, because Yang Zihan was fine just a moment ago, but suddenly blushed, so Liu Xiaoyuan naturally assumed that Yang Zihan was not feeling well.

"No...no!" Yang Zihan became even more shy when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan staring at her flushed face, and lowered her head even further.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan realized that Yang Zihan was not feeling unwell, but rather shy. As for why she suddenly became shy, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't figure it out either. You can't guess what a girl is thinking; you'll never understand no matter how hard you try.

"It's good that you're alright. I was worried you might be feeling unwell, so I gave you a check-up," Liu Xiaoyuan said mischievously.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan said in a coquettish tone, "General Manager, you're so naughty!"

After making a coquettish remark, Yang Zihan lowered her head again.

Holy crap! Liu Xiaoyuan was completely stunned. He never expected that Yang Zihan, who was always timid and shy, would have such a seductive side.

Yang Zihan seemed to sense Liu Xiaoyuan's impure gaze fixed on her, so she immediately looked up and met his eyes. Yang Zihan seemed to be melted by Liu Xiaoyuan's fiery gaze, and she did not look away, just staring at Liu Xiaoyuan like that.

"Something terrible has happened!" Just then, a waiter came running down, panting.

Upon hearing the voice, Yang Zihan immediately lowered her head, her heart pounding. Thinking back to the moment she and Liu Xiaoyuan locked eyes, a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on Yang Zihan's face.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong..." The waiter ran into the lobby, saw Liu Xiaoyuan, and immediately walked towards him.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately stood up from his chair, walked over, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"General Manager... something terrible has happened! A customer in room 202 has stopped breathing!" the waiter said anxiously, panting heavily.

"What!?" Liu Xiaoyuan was thunderstruck when he heard the news!

What's the worst thing about running a business? It's when a customer gets into trouble on your turf. If something happens, you'll be implicated and unable to clear your name. Even if it's later proven you're innocent, your reputation is irreparable, and your business will plummet!

Moreover, the waiter just said that the other person had stopped breathing, which proves that the customer died in the hotel!
