Chapter 125: Interlude before the Hotel
Chu Qiao's concession made him suddenly happy, and the wrinkles on the mature face of a middle-aged man, which was originally covered with wrinkles, instantly became much lighter.
Lao Bei came over with a smile and shook Chu Qiao's hand: "Don't call me Officer Bei, it's too serious. You're just like those rascals outside calling me Lao Bei."
Chu Qiao nodded.
Chen Ao is different from Lao Bei. She is worried about Chu Qiao's situation. She is a semi-public figure herself and is easily exposed.
But Chen Ao knew that Chu Qiao had her own values. She approached Officer Bei and said seriously, "Officer Bei, I'm Chu Qiao's boss. If anything goes wrong with her, I want to be the first to know."
"certainly."
Chen Ao glared at Chu Qiao and complained, "You're serving the people, but what about your little snow leopard?"
Lao Bei reminded: "Why not give it to the Animal Rescue Association?"
Chu Qiao and Chen Ao looked at each other, but shook their heads at the same time. Without evidence, they couldn't just speak out to discredit the Animal Association. More importantly, they couldn't alert the snakes.
Chu Qiao suddenly thought of the male snow leopard on the snowy mountain: "Lao Bei, should we send that anesthetized male snow leopard to the Animal Protection Association as well?"
"That one doesn't need it. It has the ability to survive independently. The police at the police station are observing it now. Once it wakes up, it will be released back to Tianshan."
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and squinted his eyes. "This little snow leopard is weak and was abandoned by its mother. The Animal Association has too many animals to take care of every day. I'm afraid..."
Lao Bei frowned. Professionals should do professional things. He disagreed with Chu Qiao. How could a wildlife rescue club not be able to take good care of a little leopard?
Chu Qiao didn't give Lao Bei a chance to refute and said firmly, "Lao Bei, I want to adopt this little snow leopard. Of course, if it grows up and is ready to be released back into the forest, I will release it to Tianshan."
"Why, it's too unsafe for a girl like you to keep a snow leopard."
Chu Qiao didn't say any more nonsense, staring at Lao Bei and said, "You can take this as a condition for me to help the police station."
There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Lao Bei sighed: "What else can I say? We must go through the formal adoption procedures."
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Lao Bei was in a complicated mood at the moment. She didn't know why Chu Qiao insisted on raising the little snow leopard. She was even more worried that Chu Qiao would not be able to raise the little snow leopard well, or even that the little snow leopard would die.
Back in the car, the little snow leopard jumped out from the back seat with a whoosh. The bread that Chu Qiao threw on the passenger seat had two big holes bitten in it, and bread crumbs were scattered all over the car.
Chu Qiao grabbed the little snow leopard by the neck and scolded him, "Look at what you've done to Sister Ao's car, you naughty boy."
The little snow leopard bared its teeth and snorted at Chen Ao.
Chen Ao waved his hand: "Alright, alright, stop pretending. The more you teach it a lesson, the more it will embolden it."
Chu Qiao ignored Xiaoyaner and closed his eyes, feeling fortunate that when he adopted Xiaodiao, he had rented a mountain that was big enough for him to adopt Xiaoyaner.
Chen Ao brought Chu Qiao to Muqi Prefecture, the center of the northern border.
At the entrance of the five-star hotel, Chu Qiao was stopped as soon as he got out of the car.
"I'm sorry, you can't go in."
Chu Qiao looked at Chen Ao and felt awkward for a second.
She smiled and said, "Excuse me, why can't I go in?"
The security guard frowned and looked Chu Qiao up and down. He saw that the army green outdoor clothes he was wearing were covered with mud spots and were extremely dirty. His hair was tied up in a mess.
Before the security guard could say anything, a middle-aged man reeking of alcohol walked over and said with disdain, "Why can't you come in? Don't you have any sense? What the hell are you wearing?"
"Exactly. How can someone like this enter a five-star hotel?"
"Are you here to beg for food? Or to steal something?"
Chu Qiao's eyes narrowed. She could accept the security guard stopping her. After all, her image was indeed incompatible with a five-star hotel.
But... that doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
The man was directing his assistant who was driving beside him.
"Search her for me to see if she stole anything."
Chu Qiao stood there motionless, and the assistant stood there with an embarrassed look on his face, not knowing whether he should come over.
"Mr. Liu, I..."
Mr. Liu pushed his assistant away and said, "You're useless, a coward who doesn't dare to take responsibility."
As he spoke, Mr. Liu came over in person, and while he was talking, his hand had already touched Chu Qiao's shirt pocket.
Chu Qiao snorted coldly.
"Ah...let me go..."
Chu Qiao pinched Mr. Liu's index finger and suddenly bent it back. The angle between Mr. Liu's index finger and the back of his hand became smaller and smaller. His body turned with the pain, and he looked funny.
But his mouth was still dirty.
"Do you even know who the hell I am?"
"Let me go..."
More and more people gathered around, and the security guard looked at the farce at the door with embarrassment and anxiety.
He wanted to step forward and pull the two apart, but was frightened by Chu Qiao's eyes and did not dare to move forward.
"Why is this woman bullying others?"
"That's right, it's too blatant."
"Isn't this Liu Huadong?"
"The one from the pharmaceutical factory?"
"Yeah, I heard that he bought dozens of houses in the past two years and made a lot of money."
Chu Qiao pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds around her. She slowly let go of the man and clapped her hands in disgust.
The man was not giving up. He took advantage of Chu Qiao's inattention and rushed forward, trying to push Chu Qiao down.
Chu Qiao leaned to the side, and the fat man suddenly rushed towards the pillar in front. As he had been drinking, he couldn't stop his steps and immediately bumped into the pillar. A big bump instantly appeared on his head, causing laughter from everyone around him.
Chen Ao pushed the crowd aside and looked at the scene with a frown.
Handed a card to Chu Qiao.
"What's going on? I'll just leave for a while. This is the scene."
Chu Qiao shook her head: "I encountered a fly." After saying that, she waved the card in her hand: "What is this for?"
The security guard standing by was stunned when he saw the card shaking in Chu Qiao's hand, thinking that he had gotten into trouble.
He quickly ran forward and bowed sharply to the two of them: "Excuse me, please come in."
Chu Qiao opened his mouth wide and looked at Chen Ao.
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I just opened a card for you. From now on, you can stay in any hotel of this brand."
Chu Qiao approached Chen Ao and whispered, "Is it expensive?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's free."
Chu Qiao opened his eyes wide.
A man in a blue suit walked out. When he saw Chen Ao, he rolled his eyes at the security guard next to him.
He smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm sorry, our security guards have never seen you before. Who is this?"
Chen Ao said coldly, "This is Kela's most famous anchor. He just finished his live broadcast and came here to rest, and he was harassed by so many people..."
The manager lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chu, it's our mistake. I'll deal with it right away."
Chu Qiao laughed it off: "Not really, the security guard is quite responsible."
Chen Ao waved his hand: "Okay, let's clean up the flies first."
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the hotel one after the other.
