Aunt's reply was simple: "Work hard."
Jian Yunong sighed, "What the hell does 'work hard' mean!"
She spent the entire morning cleaning the office and organizing all the hotel brochures to deliver to the housekeeping, front desk, concierge, and food and beverage departments.
Her little legs in flat shoes felt like they were about to break.
Just when it was almost noon and she could go for lunch and take a break, she was called to buy coffee.
"Can I go buy it after lunch?"
"If you go after lunch, you'll have to get back to work! There's only one hour of break time. If you don't go now, do you plan to take time from your work hours to buy coffee? Do you want everyone to stop working like your aunt?"
Jian Yunong hurriedly ran across the street to Starbucks to get coffee. As she rushed back to the hotel with bags in hand, she accidentally bumped into a group of people coming out of the hotel.
Huo Jincheng was surrounded by everyone as he walked out.
His subordinates were closely following him, reporting as they walked.
Suddenly, Huo Jincheng stopped in his tracks.
He saw Jian Yunong, whose face was flushed from the sun, nearly crushed by the coffee she was holding.
As soon as Jian Yunong saw him, she quickened her pace and hurriedly headed towards the elevator, afraid that someone would realize she knew him.
Huo Jincheng furrowed his brows in displeasure.
"Again her! Jian Yunong from the Public Relations Department! Not working properly during work hours; this is the hotel lobby! What does she look like running around with coffee!" The general manager couldn't help but criticize Jian Yunong.
The hotel is in the service industry and needs to maintain a professional image at all times to serve its clients.
Huo Jincheng's lips were pressed tightly together.
"Didn't I say to let her stay at the old house?
Why did she run out?
'Chairman, the flight departs in forty minutes...'
The assistant quietly reminded him beside him.
Huo Jincheng got into the car without any hesitation.
---
Staff Canteen.
'There's no food left...'
When Jian Yunong arrived, there was only a bowl of soup left sitting there.
'Awoo awoo.'
A small dog rubbed against her leg.
Its big, pitiful eyes were watery.
Jian Yunong placed the bowl of soup in front of the little dog, but it licked it twice and then wagged its tail and walked away.
'That dog has eaten so much already, more than you! It gets a bit of meat here and a bit of ham there; how could it be hungry!' The Head Chef of the Cafeteria gave Jian Yunong a knowing look.
She was even worse off than a dog!
Jian Yunong dragged her heavy steps back to the Public Relations Department.
'What happened? The Board Secretary said that this promotional brochure is incorrect and doesn't match the PPT. Who made the mistake? They need us to send it over urgently now!'"
The general manager was yelling in the office.
The temperature dropped to its lowest point.
“Jian Yunong!”
Jian Yunong, who had been resting weakly with her head on the desk, did not expect to be suddenly called out.
“Hmm?”
She rubbed her sleepy eyes.
“Still sleeping! You’re the laziest one! Go deliver something!”
“Me?”
Jian Yunong stood up, feeling confused.
“Who else would it be? Am I supposed to go?”
“I’ll go, I’ll go.”
What the heck!
Did they think she was an idiot?
The Public Relations Department caused such a huge mess, and they wanted her, a rookie, to take the blame!
But… could she refuse?
No!
The secretary of the Board of Directors was known for her exceptional skills in scolding people, and she was famous throughout the hotel. The last time, even the most respected manager from the Engineering Department, a man in his fifties, had been brought to tears by her.
I heard that she cried for a whole hour.
Jian Yunong felt that after this trip, she would probably be scolded until there was nothing left of her.
"Wow, such good fortune has fallen on you again."
"You can show your face in front of the chairman again, congratulations."
"You really are lucky."
Some colleagues laughed sarcastically.
"Should I leave this opportunity for you all instead?"
Jian Yunong couldn't help but retort.
That group immediately lowered their heads and fell silent.
Really!
A bunch of cowards!
Jian Yunong hailed a taxi while holding her suitcase.
This time, the Hotel Summit was held at the Hilton Hotel in the New City District.
As soon as she got out of the car, a bellboy over six feet tall came up to her, ready to help her inside.
The service attitude was definitely a level above Dynasty.
Once inside, the hotel lobby was resplendent, with an eight-story chandelier hanging down, and the air was pleasantly fresh and comfortable.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Rich!
The consumption of just the Central Air Conditioning is much more extravagant than that of the Dynasty Hotel.
No wonder this Hotel Summit is being held here.
The 24th floor has arrived.
Jian Yunong rushed out of the elevator.
The Board Secretary was already waiting for her with a stern face, "Go in and place one on everyone's desk."
Jian Yunong was sweating profusely, still trying to catch her breath from rushing. However, she didn't dare to slow down her movements, quickly distributing until the last one reached Huo Jincheng's hands.
He lifted his eyelids, his deep-set double eyelids slanting towards his temples, and his captivating gaze made Jian Yunong's heart chill.
Especially when he frowned.
Jian Yunong was so frightened that she immediately stepped back.
"Wait outside until the meeting is over," the Board Secretary said, tossing this remark before entering the conference room.
Jian Yunong sighed, feeling an ominous premonition as if a storm was approaching.
Two hours passed.
Applause rang out in the conference room signaling the end of the meeting.
Drowsy, Jian Yunong finally perked up a bit. Just as she stood up, a familiar face approached and called out to her.
"What are you doing here?"
Jian Dan scrutinized Jian Yunong's professional attire with a critical eye, "You can actually come out to work looking like that?"
Jian Yunong has never gotten along well with this cousin. The last time she was kicked out of the Jian Family, this cousin had said quite a few sarcastic remarks nearby. Jian Yunong didn't want to engage with her.
"Yes, it's not easier than what you sold directly."
Jian Yunong sarcastically thought that the daughters of the Jian Family were all sold out.
Jian Dan was so angry that her teeth were clenched.
"Jian Yunong, why do you have to pretend to be innocent? Don't you just want to retreat to advance, forcing Yi Nansheng to divorce and marry you? Do you think I don't know what little schemes you're plotting in your heart?"
"You have a problem."
Jian Yunong felt that leaving the Jian Family was quite good; they were fundamentally different, and talking to them was like playing the lute to a cow.
"Don't think we don't know. That little incident of yours has already been posted by Liang Cuihua on her Moments. It's been spreading all over A City."
Jian Dan grabbed Jian Yunong, not wanting her to leave.
"If you think it's so good, then go climb into his bed!"
Jian Yunong shook off her hand, "You incompetent people come to blame me!"
After saying that, she felt a chill behind her.
Jian Dan's eyes were shining with excitement.
"Jian Yunong."
Huo Jincheng's magnetic voice was low.
"What are you chatting about during work hours?"
Jian Yunong felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, but inside, there was a sense of relief.
"I'm sorry."
She retreated to Huo Jincheng's side, and he casually tossed the contract into her arms before striding toward the elevator.
Jian Yunong followed behind, successfully shaking off Jian Dan's entanglement.
The elevator ascended.
It was only after Jian Yunong exited the elevator that she realized she had followed Huo Jincheng to the Hilton's revolving restaurant.
"Linda, you all go ahead and eat."
Linda, Huo Jincheng's Board Secretary, glanced at Jian Yunong upon receiving the order.
Jian Yunong was also preparing to follow but was called back.
"Jian Yunong, do you still want to eat?"
Jian Yunong immediately looked distressed. She knew this person wouldn't let her off so easily!
Linda moved her astonished gaze back and forth between Huo Jincheng and Jian Yunong before slowly leaving the restaurant.
Huo Jincheng disliked being disturbed while eating; generally, employees had to dine in the banquet hall on the second floor.
Huo Jincheng loosened his bow tie slightly and noticed Jian Yunong still standing there. "Do you want me to invite you to sit down?"
Jian Yunong blinked in confusion and sat down under his increasingly cold gaze.
On the table lay a Filet Mignon, its aroma enticing.
Jian Yunong's stomach, having been hungry all afternoon, made a rumbling sound.
"Are you waiting for me to feed you?"
Huo Jincheng looked at her with a knife and fork in hand, his expression emotionless. It seemed he was more inclined to do her harm than to feed her.
Jian Yunong immediately took action, and after a mouthful of mushroom soup, she felt like she was in heaven.
She ate a bit quickly, but not rudely. Although the Jian family was humble, Jian Mother's education for Jian Yunong had never been lax.
Huo Jincheng originally had no appetite, but for some reason, seeing Jian Yunong enjoy her meal so much sparked his interest, and he picked at his plate until everything was gone.
"Are you still eating?"
Jian Yunong had been eyeing the untouched mushroom soup on his plate for a long time.
Huo Jincheng replied, "Are you a pig? Even pigs don't eat as much as you do."
While complaining, he handed over his bowl.
"I'm starving; I didn't eat breakfast or lunch." She lowered her head to sip the soup, taking small sips, her face radiating a happiness she didn't even realize she had.
To be so happy over a meal, forgetting the pain of skipping breakfast and lunch, made Huo Jincheng's lips twitch slightly as he thought of that woman.
In the past, he used to accompany Bai Ru for meals, but Bai Ru was a dancer who strictly controlled her diet to maintain her figure.
Usually, Huo Jincheng would have the chef prepare a lot of food, but Bai Ru rarely indulged. Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she might take a couple of bites but would never go for a third.
Such an extravagant way of eating made Huo Jincheng feel guilty if he ate too much.
Bai Ru's life seemed dedicated entirely to dance.
In the end, even the most common activity couples did—eating—became something unnecessary.
Huo Jincheng set down his knife and fork, suddenly losing all appetite.
"This pudding, you probably won't eat either?"
When he didn't respond, she took it as consent and reached over to grab Huo Jincheng's plate.
Someone was intercepted by Huo Jincheng on the way.
"What are you doing? You're not eating! Don't waste it!"
"Who says I'm not eating?"
"You..."
Jian Yunong had no choice but to reluctantly pull back her hand.
This person is really annoying.
Jian Yunong had to lower her head and eat her own portion, which was sweet, smooth, and melted in her mouth.
In an instant, Jian Yunong's face turned sunny again.
The happy expression on her face tempted him to try a bite of the dessert on the plate.
It tasted very sweet.
