After checking for a while, the receptionist apologized to Liu Zi, saying, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we haven't been able to find your reservation information at the moment."
Liu Zi borrowed a landline at the hotel and made a call to Director Wang's assistant.
However, no one answered the phone.
She frowned, wondering if she had gone to the wrong hotel.
She hung up the phone and told the receptionist, "The call didn't go through. I'll wait for them to call me back!"
The receptionist smiled and nodded.
"Miss, please rest in the lobby sofa area. You can come to us anytime if you need anything."
Liu Zi nodded, following the other party's advice, and went to rest for a while, waiting for a call back.
The day's journey had left Liu Zi looking somewhat listless, so she ordered a Blue Mountain coffee to soothe herself.
It seems she and Director Wang's assistant are at odds; being turned away twice in a row must be a very unpleasant experience.
Liu Zi waited for about an hour before the receptionist hurriedly came over.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Liu Zi?"
Liu Zi sat up straight and said, "Yes, that's me!"
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Liu. We just received a call from Mr. Zhou. After verifying the information, we found that there was an error in your registration, which caused the misunderstanding. We sincerely apologize." The front desk manager also arrived at this time.
Liu Zi was speechless. What was going on?!
She doesn't want to easily say she forgives anyone right now, whether it's about the hotel or the issue with Director Wang's assistant.
When Director Wang invited her over, he promised to take care of her food, lodging, and personal safety.
But now she feels she was too complacent. Even a simple matter like accommodation went wrong, let alone anything else.
"Can I go back to my room now?" Liu Zi asked expressionlessly.
The front desk manager and the waiter exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately and warmly invited Liu Zi to register at the front desk.
After that, the speed increased considerably, and no further problems arose.
Just as Liu Zi was about to return to her room with her room key, Assistant Wang rushed in with his men.
"We've finally found you, Ms. Liu. We've been looking for you at the airport for ages. We didn't expect you to be already at the hotel," Assistant Wang said, taking the initiative.
Liu Zi narrowed her eyes. This guy was treating her like a fool once or twice. Was it really that interesting?
"What time does my plane arrive?" Liu Zi didn't say anything, but just asked a question first.
Assistant Wang was stunned; he hadn't expected Liu Zi to ask a question.
He glanced at the bodyguard beside him, who also seemed unsure, and asked, "One...thirty?"
"Hehe!" Liu Zi chuckled dismissively.
"No wonder!" Liu Zi took out her phone, pressed a couple of buttons, and then showed it to the two of them.
The text message edited by Liu Zi in the sent items folder clearly stated 12:45.
They were 45 minutes late picking her up; by the time they arrived at the airport, she had already taken a taxi and left.
Assistant Wang's face darkened. He had already apologized, so why was this woman still holding onto it?
He then gave a wink to the person next to him, who understood and bowed in apology, his voice so loud that it drew everyone's attention in the hotel lobby.
Oh!
Is this an attempt to force her to let things go?
In her past life, Liu Zi did all sorts of shameful and humble things to make money, so what's a little bit of attention compared to that!
Liu Zi opened her suitcase, turned around and went back to the front desk. After borrowing the phone from the other party again, she directly called Director Wang's private number.
A moment later, Director Wang's slightly irritated voice came through the receiver.
Who is it?
"Director Wang, I'm at the hotel right now. I'll give you an hour to come over so we can meet. If you're late, I'll have to go back to Beijing." Without waiting for a reply, Liu Zi hung up the phone.
When Assistant Wang realized something was wrong and rushed over, it was too late. He anxiously said to Liu Zi, "Ms. Liu, these are minor issues. Why tell Director Wang? He's very busy. You're just making things worse!"
Liu Zi gave the other person a deep look, and then said, "In that case, call Director Wang and tell him not to come."
Assistant Wang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was stunned by what Liu Zi said next.
"Hello, could the hotel help me book a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing?"
If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will. I'm not playing with you guys anymore, go find whoever you want.
"Ms. Liu, Director Wang's entire team is waiting for you, how can you leave!"
Assistant Wang shifted the blame onto Liu Zi.
Liu Zi rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say I was causing trouble? Everyone here heard it, and I don't want to be the one causing trouble. Since I'm leaving, of course I should inform the person who invited me!"
Assistant Wang now realized that this seemingly gentle and easy-going Ms. Liu was actually very difficult to deal with.
Unexpectedly, the other party was unyielding and even brought the matter to Director Wang's attention, making the situation difficult.
If Liu Zi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face. Who forced her to do this? She has a good temper, but you can't just bully her like that!
Liu Zi couldn't help but feel that there was more to the story. If the assistant of a big Hong Kong director acted like this every day, he would have offended everyone long ago. Would Director Wang still keep him by his side?
It has to be said, Liu Zi is right.
It turns out that before Director Wong came into contact with "Infernal Affairs 1", he had read a script and had already decided to start filming.
However, Liu Zi intercepted the deal halfway through. The author had an unusual relationship with Assistant Wang, and he went to Assistant Wang to vent his anger.
Assistant Wang then came up with the idea of sabotaging the relationship between Director Wang and Miss Liu. The last time at the Beijing People's Hotel was a test, and this time he deliberately made sure that the person arrived late.
He had already inquired about her; this Miss Liu was a newcomer with no background in the entertainment industry. She had written a few hit songs, but this was the only movie script that Director Wang had taken a liking to.
In his mind, there are plenty of newcomers like this in the entertainment industry, and if you want to become famous, you have to follow seniority and be obedient.
Seeing Assistant Wang's face turn pale and then purple, Liu Zi ignored him and pushed her luggage back to the sofa area in the lobby.
You snobbish jerk! I've been in the entertainment industry for twenty years, and I can see right through your scheming. You just think you can take advantage of my lack of popularity.
I'm not putting up with this anymore!
Liu Zi leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes to rest, completely ignoring Assistant Wang beside her.
Assistant Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet there was nothing he could do.
He regretted wading through the floodwaters, but he was also worried that Director Wang would blame him, and he would be in deep trouble.
Time passed slowly, and after more than half an hour, Director Wang finally arrived at the hotel.
