Chapter 47: Jinjiang Dufa He slept with me...
Xu Chen made an appointment for the weekend, and Jiang Chen thought that they could meet on the cruise ship then, so he gave up the idea of going back to Huanyu to punch in. He spent the rest of the working day at Xingyuan Entertainment, and arranged the work for other artists to get them all moving.
Jiang Chen is motivated and Xu Chen is resourceful. The company, which was originally half-dead, has done at least half a month's work in this week, and its efficiency has been significantly improved.
For the first time, those people who slacked off at work were looking forward to Friday so sincerely. They urgently needed a rest and relaxation.
Jiang Chen arranged his work schedule for the next week, and looked up at the clock in the office. There was still half an hour before the end of get off work. He stretched and thought he could take a break. Before he could retract his outstretched arms, Xu Chen pushed open his office door.
"After get off work, have you packed your luggage?" Xu Chen asked without entering the house, standing at the door.
Jiang Chen retracted his arm and said, "Not yet, go back and clean it up."
Xu Chen showed an expression that said I knew it, and made a gesture to leave, saying, "If you haven't packed yet, then forget it. Send me the size of your clothes, and I'll ask the hotel to prepare them. Now, let's go!"
"Are you going today? Aren't we going on the weekend?" Jiang Chen turned off the computer and tidied up his desk. He said, "I can pack my luggage quickly. Wait for me for a few minutes."
"Isn't it the weekend after get off work on Friday?"
Xu Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement. If he set off now, he could go to a hotel on the island to rest at night. After a night's sleep, he could go out to sea on a yacht the next day.
Jiang Chen always admired his ability to go as soon as he said he would, but he still had to go back to collect his luggage and bring some things he needed. Xu Chen thought about it and did not refuse. He drove behind Jiang Chen and went home with him.
Jiang Chen was a well-organized person and packed his things very quickly. Xu Chen felt that it had only been a few minutes since he entered the door, but Jiang Chen had already packed his backpack and was ready to go out.
Xu Chen stroked his chin and praised Jiang Chen's speed. Unlike Jiang Chen, he didn't like to pack when he went out. He usually only brought a few things and bought what he needed at the destination.
To go to the island, one has to take a plane. Jiang Chen did not drive, but took Xu Chen's car directly to the airport.
On the way, he asked about Lu Chiyuan and Lu Mingxuan's schedule, and Xu Chen said that they were already in the waiting room. Lu Chiyuan remembered Jiang Chen's information, and Xu Chen unceremoniously asked him to pay for the four people's tickets.
When Xu Chen and Jiang Chen arrived, the time was just right.
The four of them met at the airport, and Jiang Chen saw Lu Chiyuan at first sight. He was not wearing a suit today, but casual clothes, with a restrained temperament, still cool, but less fierce.
Under the naturally deep eyebrows, the pair of blue eyes accurately captured Jiang Chen's gaze the moment Jiang Chen looked over.
The coldness in his eyes faded, like ice and snow melting, and in the blink of an eye, they were filled with a faint smile, softening his brows.
It was only a few days since we last met, but the gaze we exchanged at that moment seemed to have spanned a long time.
Jiang Chen was bewitched and his heart skipped a beat. He did not avoid the gaze but responded with a generous smile.
Lu Chiyuan bought a first-class ticket. As soon as Xu Chen got on the plane, he said he would call him when he got off the plane, and then he put on an eye mask and started to sleep. Lu Mingxuan had some unfinished work on his hands, so he took out his computer and started working.
Jiang Chen saw it and joked, "Assistant Lu, you are too stubborn. You have to be busy with work when you come out to play."
"It's a contract that needs to be signed, and we're in a hurry." Lu Mingxuan didn't think it was a big deal and started typing on the computer without even raising his head.
If Xu Chen hadn't pestered him to come, threatening to end their friendship, he wouldn't have chosen to take his computer on the plane. He finally had a holiday, and he wanted to have a good weekend.
Jiang Chen gave him a sympathetic look, then looked away and found Lu Chiyuan looking at him.
The two of them were sitting next to each other. At such a close distance, Jiang Chen could clearly see Lu Chiyuan's eyelashes, which were slightly curled and cast a small shadow under his eyes.
Jiang Chen unconsciously sat up straight and asked in a hurry: "Boss Lu, you don't have a job?"
Lu Chiyuan said: "Yes, sign Lu Mingxuan's contract."
Lu Mingxuan: "..."
Okay, you can shut up now.
Jiang Chen smiled. At this time, he felt sympathy for the hard-working Lute Assistant brand bees.
The plane could not land directly on the island, so Jiang Chen and his friends took the hotel's special car midway, and it was already evening when they arrived at the hotel.
Xu Chen got out of the car and took off his blindfold before telling the others that he had only reserved two suites. He took the lead and pulled Jiang Chen over and said, "Xiao Chenchen and I will live together. Is that okay?"
Lu Chiyuan gave him a glare. If this wasn’t his business, he would have really believed it!
Lu Mingxuan yawned and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm sleepy. I can live with anyone."
They are all grown men, and he has lived with Lu Chiyuan before.
Xu Chen rolled his eyes at him, and seeing that Lu Chiyuan didn't say anything, he took it as his consent and put his arm around Jiang Chen's shoulder and walked towards the hall.
Xu Chen was still very happy at this time. Jiang Chen didn't want to spoil his fun, so he didn't protest about the housing.
But soon Xu Chen could no longer laugh because the hotel gave the room he had reserved to someone else.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrong, and asked again.
The guy at the front desk checked the records. He had a professional smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly mocking: "I'm sorry sir, we can't find your order here. Can you check again to see if there is a mistake?"
"Not only did you give my room to someone else, but you also asked me for an order?" Xu Chen seemed to have heard something funny. He glanced at the man's work badge and silently memorized the string of numbers in his mind.
Because it was night duty time, there was only one person at the front desk. Xu Chen did not argue with him unnecessarily, but just asked him to open two new rooms.
He just wants to rest now, and think about the rest after he wakes up.
"I'm sorry, sir, our luxury suites need to be booked in advance. You can choose other packages." The man kept staring at the computer and was too lazy to look up when talking to Xu Chen.
His overly arrogant attitude made Xu Chen laugh. Thinking of some recent negative comments about the hotel, he vaguely guessed the reason and said in a deep voice: "Who recruited you? Didn't you receive pre-job training before taking up the post? Is this your attitude towards guests?"
"Sir, this is my personal privacy. You have no right to ask." The man finally looked up at Xu Chen and said fearlessly, "If you don't want to book a room, please leave. I still have to work."
Xu Chen sneered. He turned around and looked at Lu Chiyuan, pointed to the rest area next to him, and said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll take care of it first."
Lu Chiyuan looked towards the front desk and nodded slightly.
The pre-job training for hotel staff includes getting to know their boss, but the man in front of him obviously didn't know Xu Chen. Judging from his familiarity with the hotel, he didn't seem to be a newcomer.
Xu Chen made a phone call. He did not leave the front desk, but stood aside and watched the man's attitude towards other people.
He soon discovered that his situation was not an isolated case. This man clearly treated tourists differently. He was impatient with male tourists, but when he saw pretty girls, he smiled like a flower and spoke some dialect in a self-proclaimed humor.
In the lounge area, Jiang Chen looked towards the front desk with concern and said, "Do you really not need our help? How could the hotel make such a mistake?"
"It should be a personal behavior. We have been here so many times, but this is the first time we have encountered such a situation." Lu Mingxuan yawned and said, "Don't worry, he won't suffer any loss. This is his hotel, and this island is the property of the Xu family."
Xu Chen's mother is a strong woman. Not only is she involved in the entertainment industry, she also has a good eye for investment in business. In recent years, she has not brought in new people, so most of her energy has shifted from the entertainment industry to other places. She feels that she is still young, so she intends to let Xu Chen play for a few years without restricting him too much.
Jiang Chen was in awe, the mothers were all so amazing, each of them had their own career. In comparison, Shen Zhiyi, who had superior conditions and was completely independent, had to rely on Gu Tingsen for everything, and was completely a vassal.
[Qiuqiu, I didn't even ask you, has Shen Zhiyi left the Lu family? ]
Lu Chiyuan glanced sideways. The lawyer worked very quickly. On the day Shen Zhiyi terminated her relationship with the Lu family, she left directly. She had no regrets at all.
[She's been gone for a few days, her storyline is a bit confusing, and I don't know where she is now...]
Snowball's voice suddenly stopped, and he took a breath and said, "Chenchen, you are so unlucky. Here it comes."
【What's coming? 】
Jiang Chen was puzzled. Before Xueqiu could answer, he noticed that Lu Chiyuan beside him looked towards the front desk and frowned slightly.
Jiang Chen followed his gaze and saw the two people he least wanted to see, Gu Tingsen and Shen Zhiyi.
It was only a few days after Shen Zhiyi left the Lu family that she hooked up with Gu Tingsen. The two of them came down from upstairs together. Although there was no physical contact, they were very close, almost touching each other.
The receptionist was extremely fawning on Gu Tingsen, nodding and bowing. Seeing this, Xu Chen's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became cold. He was unhappy with Gu Tingsen, and even looked at Shen Zhiyi beside him as if he were some dirty thing.
"Brother Xu Chen, you are here too?" Shen Zhiyi didn't feel embarrassed and greeted Xu Chen first, "You don't look very happy, do you need help? Mr. Gu is a shareholder here, he should be happy to help you."
Shen Zhiyi spoke briskly, revealing an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Gu Tingsen did not comment.
Xu Chen’s eyes were cold, he ignored Shen Zhiyi, but thought of something, tapped his hands on the table twice, and asked, “Did you give them the room I booked?”
No matter how careless the hotel staff were, it was impossible for them not to notice the word "reserved", unless a big customer came in and they coordinated and appropriated the two rooms.
The staff member did not answer, but asked impatiently: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Xu Chen already knew the answer from his attitude, so he took out his cell phone and made another call.
After the call was connected, without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, he said, "If you don't show up within a minute, you and this receptionist will be fired!"
Xu Chen hung up the phone and saw that Gu Tingsen was still standing in front of him with no intention of leaving. He put away his phone and said, "Mr. Gu is interested in other people's family affairs? Don't say that your shares were given to you by that old man. Even if you really control the shares, it is only a part of this island, not this hotel. Please figure out your position and don't be too possessive of other people's things."
Unlike the joint venture development of the island, the hotel was fully invested and built by Xu Chen's mother. There is only Xu Chen as the boss, and there is no second shareholder.
Gu Tingsen’s equity is in the island, not in the hotel.
After being bluntly retorted by Xu Chen, Shen Zhiyi's smile froze. The complacency just now made her look like a clown. She looked up at Gu Tingsen and found that Gu Tingsen didn't care about Xu Chen, but looked at the rest area.
The three people in the rest area noticed the movement here. Jiang Chen thought of the other relationship between the two and stood up worriedly. Lu Mingxuan and Lu Chiyuan also stood up. The three of them looked at each other and walked over tacitly.
When Shen Zhiyi saw Lu Chiyuan, his original pride died down and he became a little guilty.
Gu Tingsen's gaze lingered on Jiang Chen for a long time, like a cold poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue and staring at its prey.
Jiang Chen shuddered uncomfortably, and Lu Chiyuan slightly moved aside to block Gu Tingsen's gaze.
Gu Tingsen then retracted his gaze, deliberately put his arm around Shen Zhiyi’s waist, and said, “Mr. Lu, long time no see.”
Lu Chiyuan looked normal, lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiyi: "It's good not to see each other, but nothing good will happen if we meet."
Shen Zhiyi didn’t dare to look him in the eye, lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang Chen sighed. He really underestimated the bond between the hero and heroine. It's only been a few days? And they're already hugging each other?
Gu Tingsen smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is still so direct in his words."
Xu Chen sneered: "It's not possible not to be direct. We have to take care of people with intellectual disabilities."
After being given the cold shoulder by Xu Chen repeatedly, Gu Tingsen could no longer ignore him and turned his gaze to him with an unfriendly look.
[Qiuqiu, why do they seem to be very aware of each other's existence? Isn't it later in the story that Gu Tingsen finds out that he has a brother?]
No matter how Jiang Chen looked at it, he felt that the atmosphere between the two people was not right. They were on the verge of a fight, like a powder keg ready to explode and destroy everything at any time.
Qiuqiu spread his hands: [It could also be that he simply doesn’t like it. ]
Gu Tingsen is such an annoying person! Xu Chen's words were full of thorns, and he was not a generous person, so he naturally couldn't stand it.
The atmosphere between the two sides became subtle. No matter how slow the man at the front desk was, he realized that something was wrong. He flattered Gu Tingsen because he knew Gu Tingsen's worth, and the person Gu Tingsen was greeting must not be an unknown person.
The man couldn't help but send a message to his group members, but before anyone could reply, the lobby manager came rushing in. As soon as he entered the lobby, he went straight to the front desk. When he saw the scene in front of him, his heart stopped and he broke out in sweat.
"Master, Mr. Lu, Mr. Gu."
The manager nodded and bowed, facing this terrible situation, his eyes went dark again and again, and he dared not to think about what kind of evil wind blew today to bring all three of these people together.
The receptionist now knew that she had gotten into big trouble, and she hid back, not daring to say a word.
"Manager Chi is such a busy man. I can't hire you without just one more call!"
Xu Chen spoke in a sarcastic tone, which scared the manager so much that he kept wiping his sweat. He gave the front desk a look and asked what happened.
The receptionist shrank her neck timidly, losing her initial arrogance, and stammered as she spoke to the list on the computer.
It was indeed he who gave the room reserved by Xu Chen to Gu Tingsen and Shen Zhiyi. He thought that with Gu Tingsen's status, no one would dare to compete with him for it, and there would be no problem after some coordination when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, he hit a brick wall. He was vague and pushed the responsibility onto other colleagues.
The manager was horrified after hearing this. If this room was given to someone else, Xu Chen would not make it difficult if he talked to him nicely. But if he gave it to Gu Tingsen, it would be like an old man hanging himself because he was tired of living.
The lobby manager vaguely knew that there was a big conflict between the two people, and he couldn't afford to offend either side. Even if he asked Gu Tingsen to give up the room, Xu Chen would feel uncomfortable.
The lobby manager apologized and promised to hold a meeting to rectify the situation immediately, while arranging another room for Xu Chen. Unfortunately, it was the peak tourist season and most of the hotel suites were booked, leaving only one apartment-style suite.
The lobby manager nervously asked Xu Chen for his opinion, whether he wanted a suite or a single room.
Xu Chen felt like he was blinding if he looked at Gu Tingsen for one more second. He didn't want to get entangled with him at all, let alone live in the room he had lived in.
He asked the manager to give him the key card for the apartment suite first, and said, "I want to see your rectification report tomorrow, and then explain in writing why the hotel's online ratings are so bad, and why all the complaints are from the front desk?"
Xu Chen had come out for a nice vacation, but now he had to work overtime. He looked very unhappy. The lobby manager didn't dare to say a word and just nodded continuously.
The apartment suite is not located in the main hotel building. It is a stand-alone building and is generally used for long-term guests.
Xu Chen didn't choose this at first because the suite only had three rooms and there were four of them, but now he had no choice.
If you live separately, you will have to go up and down stairs and walk a distance to make a date, so it’s better not to make a date.
Xu Chen opened the door, the intelligent sensor in the room started, and the lights illuminated the living room. He turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a sly smile: "You agreed to live with me before, is that okay with you?"
Jiang Chen touched his nose awkwardly. He had no objection to living in a suite, but he had an objection to living in a room.
Lu Chiyuan took Jiang Chen's shoulder and said, "He sleeps with me."
