Perhaps, maybe, Brother Shen remembered it wrong.
"Should we continue with the Huang City side..."
Li Zishen shook his head thoughtfully, "There must be a problem here, two capable subordinates... disappearing just like that? We still need to keep a close eye on the hospital, in case it’s Wang Junchen... deliberately releasing rumors to us."
Bai Long nodded in agreement and began to make arrangements.
"Xiao Wan should be finished by now, arrange your own lunch, no need to wait for me."
Bai Long nodded slightly, "Yes, Brother Shen."
Elsewhere, on the fifth floor.
In the vast office, Tang Xiaowan stretched out lazily, casually picking up the pen gifted by Leng Lingxiao and twirling it between her delicate fingers.
Round and round, her movements were incredibly smooth.
"Zhang Dong, hmm, just you wait, you’ll be packing up and leaving soon."
"Miss, would you like to take a rest?"
Tang Xiaowan glanced at Cheng Shi and suddenly thought of hiring an assistant or a secretary, so she called Leng Lingxiao.
"What is it, my dear Boss Tang?"
"Send Tian Jiaojiao over to me within half an hour. Oh, I forgot, it’s almost noon. Never mind, before work this afternoon then."
Leng Lingxiao’s lips curved slightly: Just said you didn’t need it this morning, and so soon you find it inconvenient?
Little rascal, lucky I arranged in advance.
"Why are you silent? Do you think I’m too demanding, bothersome? Well, if you won’t arrange it, that’s fine, I could just trick Old Zhao into working for me."
"Don’t worry, I’ll have it sorted before you finish work."
Tang Xiaowan smiled sweetly at first, then immediately furrowed her brows, "That quick? You didn’t calculate... that I would urgently need an assistant, did you?"
"Of course, didn’t you think, such a big hotel, being in charge without an assistant, how can it work? Even if you worked Wu Qiming to death, he couldn’t handle it all alone, and moreover, he’s now the general manager, he’s also got a lot to do!"
"That’s because he doesn’t know any better, you don’t know, just now during the meeting..."
While she was speaking, three knocks on the door were heard. Tang Xiaowan suddenly stopped and said with a chuckle, "Someone’s knocking, could it be Li Zishen?"
Leng Lingxiao cleared his throat, with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "Then you better get busy."
"Don’t be jealous now!"
"Jokes, as if he’s worth it, haha."
After listening to the cold laughter of Leng Lingxiao, Tang Xiaowan hung up the phone and motioned for Cheng Shi to open the door.
Her guess was correct; it was indeed Li Zishen.
The man stepped into the office and approached Tang Xiaowan. He was dressed in a high-end black suit, very elegant, with a deep blue tie fastidious to a fault, and his shoes were shining, obviously coming prepared.
"Xiao Wan, am I disturbing you?"
Tang Xiaowan slowly stood up and walked over to the reception area, "What brings Boss Lai here?"
Li Zishen followed, his expression gentle and warm, "Xiao Wan, you’ve just taken over Chihai Hotel, and it’s a seven-star, so I’ve come especially to recommend an exceptional talent to you."
Mr. Leng would be angry if he knew, Miss, stay strong, do not agree.
Tang Xiaowan, a little surprised, hadn’t expected Li Zishen to come for this reason, and not for the weekend’s medical equipment exchange meeting.
She shook her head, "Thanks, but no."
Li Zishen smiled and pulled out a business card, "Her name is Xue Yuting, a college classmate of mine, her family is from here in Chi Sea, and she’s very good at managing hotels, she just returned to the country last week."
Tang Xiaowan took the business card thoughtfully, casually handed Li Zishen a bottle of mineral water.
"Xiao Wan, you must be thinking, why wouldn’t I arrange such a talent at Jinyuan, right?" Li Zishen took a sip of water and softly asked.
"Yes, that’s right, are you trying to plant a mole in our Chi Sea?"
"Not at all, because her ex-boyfriend is Li Weilian, and things ended very badly between them... But it’s also been several years. Another reason is, her husband is a lawyer... doesn’t want her working for a male boss, very principled."
Tang Xiaowan widened her eyes, "Li Weilian? So he also had... Oh, okay, got it." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.net
"So... would you like to meet her? You might hit it off."
"Xue Yuting? I’ll think about it.
"Good, take your time." Li Zishen smiled in satisfaction, then asked with hope in his eyes, "How about having lunch together?"
"Sorry, I’m a married woman."
"In the future, for work... are you planning not to interact with men? Doesn’t seem quite possible, does it?"
"My husband is also very principled!"
Li Zishen smiled faintly, his eyes deep, "Xiao Wan, even though you are now... regardless, we are still best friends. Isn’t it fine to meet occasionally and have a meal?"
Suddenly, the office was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
Tang Xiaowan felt Li Zishen’s persistence and restraint, and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt, but she quickly recovered her senses.
"Very sorry, Zishen, it’s not possible."
"Xiao Wan, I’ll be going back to Jin City this afternoon. You’re now the ’hand’ of Chi Sea, shouldn’t you invite me... to your most luxurious restaurant..."
Before he could finish, three knocks sounded at the door.
