Lu Wanqing doesn't like singing karaoke, but she doesn't mind arranging it for bosses from all walks of life for social occasions. However, she absolutely forbids any scantily clad girls from engaging in illegal activities in her private rooms.
Director Huang has a peculiar habit: when it comes to beautiful women, he always adopts an attitude of neither taking the initiative nor refusing, and taking no responsibility.
He won't refuse if someone really tries to get close to him.
Lu Wanqing took the initiative to invite him to dinner, so he assumed that she had the same idea. In order to achieve her goal, he had to let her take advantage of him.
However, throughout the meal and karaoke session, Lu Wanqing kept her distance from him, while Huo Xiao stayed with him the whole time.
In the private room, after a song ended, Director Huang felt a bit bored, so he waved to Lu Wanqing, who was sitting a few meters away from him.
Lu Wanqing got up and walked over:
"Director Huang, are you thinking of leaving? I'll arrange a car to take you home right away."
Everything that needed to be said has been said, and the hospitality has been provided; it's time to see the guests off.
Huang Yun smiled, let out a hiccup, and said:
"I heard you have a pool room here, Mr. Lu, would you like to play a game of pool with me?"
Lu Wanqing felt a surge of disgust as she saw his lecherous eyes sweep over her chest.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to play billiards. Let Mr. Huo accompany you; he's a billiards expert."
Huo Xiao, who was standing to the side, also volunteered, willing to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Huang Yun's face immediately fell, and he said he wanted to go back.
Lu Wanqing didn't indulge him and immediately had a car prepared to send him home.
After Huang Yun left, Huo Xiao said somewhat angrily:
"This Director Huang is quite audacious, daring to even try to take advantage of you. It seems we won't be able to get what we asked him to do. We even treated him to food and drinks; it's like throwing good money after bad."
Lu Wanqing told him not to get so emotional. Since she couldn't rely on him, she could only make arrangements. From now on, any construction team that enters Wenwan Group must make the payment of workers' wages a performance evaluation criterion, and construction teams that are in arrears with wages will be prohibited from entering the site.
In addition, she also asked Huo Xiao to sow discord among Madam Huang Yun's family, so that his wife would cause him some trouble, which would also serve as a lesson for him.
......
Since the hotel installed surveillance cameras, it has posted notices in prominent locations at the entrance, informing everyone that there are cameras at the entrance and in the elevators, and that the control room has assigned dedicated personnel to monitor the footage and store the data.
At that time, computers still had large heads and weren't very clear, but it was better than nothing.
People are amazed when they see this, and some foreigners feel that it violates their privacy and cannot accept it.
In no time, several people were standing at the front desk requesting to check out.
Chun Tao had learned English during her training abroad and could speak basic English, but she was still a little intimidated by their aggressive questioning.
She could only speak and gesture to explain, trying to keep the guests.
Other receptionists, after training, can communicate with foreigners in a basic way, but like Chun Tao, they can only stare blankly when it comes to in-depth conversations.
Just as the foreigners were making a fuss, Han Tao strode over and began to speak with them in fluent English.
His gentle and refined demeanor, along with his free and straightforward manner of speaking, quickly quelled the anger of the foreigners, who then began to chat with him at length.
Chun Tao could occasionally understand a few of their words. The conversation had gone from the matter of surveillance to some work-related matters, and even to travel and lifestyle.
She simply invited them to the reception area in the lobby and prepared fruit, snacks, and tea for them so that they could continue their conversation.
One of the girls, perhaps traveling abroad for the first time with her father, was filled with longing for Chinese civilization. She looked at Han Tao with almost worshipful eyes as he described the Forbidden City and other places.
This commotion, which arose from surveillance, was eventually quelled silently with Han Tao's help.
A few hours later, those people stopped arguing about checking out and even left their contact information with Han Tao.
"Brother Han, thank you so much! You've solved another problem for me!" Chun Tao said gratefully as she saw him to the door.
Han Tao gave a half-smile, "To show my gratitude, I think you should treat me to a meal."
Chun Tao puffed out her cheeks, looking helpless:
"I have to work today, and I'm afraid I'll be working very late. How about we reschedule for another day?"
How could Han Tao pass up such an opportunity? He suggested, "It won't take long to have a meal, half an hour is enough. Is that not okay? There's a street not far from your hotel with lots of snacks. Let's just pick one and have a quick meal."
Chun Tao had no reason to refuse anymore. She greeted the receptionist, changed her clothes, and walked out the door with him.
"By the way, why did you suddenly appear at the hotel?" Chun Tao considered several possibilities, but rejected them all, so she simply asked directly.
Han Tao could say that he just had a sudden urge to come and see her, but in the end he made up an excuse: "To check how the monitoring system is working. The company wants to expand this business."
Chun Tao believed her and hurriedly told her that the surveillance system was working very well and had even helped a guest find his lost item, acting like an invisible eye guarding the gate.
"That's good. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
As Han Tao was speaking, a bicycle came towards them, and he quickly shielded Chun Tao to the side of the road.
He would never have paid attention to these details before, but now they are instinctive.
I forced myself to focus on work and deliberately stopped thinking about her, but things didn't go as planned; her image just wouldn't go away.
Only when I see her do I feel my heart beating strongly.
Han Tao took Chun Tao to the snack street and began searching for delicious food.
Chun Tao found him quite amusing. His workplace cafeteria had a wide variety of dishes, much better than this place. He was dressed in a well-fitting, high-end outfit, yet he came to eat fried meatballs that cost only a few cents. It was very incongruous!
"You don't mind me bringing you here to eat this, do you?" he suddenly asked as he watched Chun Tao take small bites.
Chuntao gave a shy smile:
"No, I usually love eating these kinds of things. It's just surprising that you eat these street food stalls too."
"Actually, this is my first time eating here. I think it feels more down-to-earth. Before, I was a bit too formal."
Chun Tao smiled slightly after hearing his words. Who would analyze themselves like that!
"To show you that you really want to eat this, and not just save money, how about I take you out for Western food tomorrow?" Han Tao continued.
Chun Tao felt it was a bit abrupt. She had never eaten alone with a man before, so this was quite unexpected, and she never thought there would be a next time.
But as the words of refusal slipped from her lips, she saw Han Tao's sincere eyes and silently lowered her head.
Who would refuse an invitation from a male god? She's just busy, she's not stupid.
