Chapter 3 Network (03)

It is truly not an illusion. Perhaps it is simply because he has not spoken for a long time, his voice is hoarse, and his tone is extremely awkward, much like that "Miss Blind".

He Qihua coldly instructed his assistant, "Call Liu Hongyi."

Now, you are well aware of the situation. Since Chen Rong left at the beginning of the year, the position that has become vacant is being eyed by many. I used to think you were clever, handling matters with prudence and diligence, and I had always intended for you to take over. However, now, I need to reconsider...

The assistant still wanted to argue, but He Qihua waved his hand and said, "Call your manager Liu Hongyi over."

He Qihua seemed to be taken aback that she was not intimidated at all. After a pause, his gaze settled on her nameplate.

On the weekend, Xia Chan invited Chen Rong to dinner, hoping that she could offer some guidance.

The summer cicada neither hurried nor slowed down and said: "Opening the door without permission and infringing on the guest's privacy does not comply with our hotel's work regulations. I do not have the authority to open the door, please forgive me"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Chen Rong already understood, "You are caught between a wolf in front and a tiger behind."

Each guest is the responsibility of our entire team

Xia Chan smiled and said: "Reaching Sister Rong's position, changing jobs is naturally easy, but I am different. Moving up, the opportunities are slim; moving down, I feel unwilling."

The summer cicada, reflecting on the recent events, could not help but feel a sense of regret

A summer cicada and a single shrimp, with no other desires, only wishing to secure a place to live and survive amidst this wave of turmoil

Is this person in a rather awkward situation, having to ask a complete stranger, a waiter, for help

Chen Rong smiled and said, "Make sure that He Huaisheng does not hear what you just said"

As soon as she stepped out, the summer cicadas covered the door. Upon returning to the lounge, Liu Baona approached and asked, "Were you scolded harshly by Manager Liu?"

However, the summer cicadas have no extra energy to worry about others. The internal turmoil within Kaiser is evident, and with the new executive about to take office, a significant personnel reshuffle is inevitable. What can be confirmed now is that Chen Rong has resigned, the supervisor of the housekeeping department has been promoted to deputy manager, and the position of supervisor is currently vacant. If nothing unexpected occurs, the new supervisor will be selected from among several team leaders.

Fallen into misfortune? Not necessarily

Xia Chan suppressed the resentment and disgust within her, nodded, and left the room.

The summer cicada knew what she wanted to say and shook her head

The summer cicada paused for a moment and asserted: "Feigning madness and playing the fool"

The summer cicada hurriedly replied: "Are you going deaf the day after tomorrow?"

The summer cicada was rendered speechless, and after a long while, it cautiously asked, "Can you speak?"

Xia Chan adjusted her breathing, straightened her back, and walked over. "Mr. He Qihua, I am Xia Chan, the team leader of the housekeeping department. How may I assist you?"

He Huai-sheng, however, seemed indifferent and nodded slightly

She is accustomed to being frugal in her daily life, yet this time she did not hesitate to spend lavishly, seeking out a high-end private dining restaurant in the western district of Chongcheng. Inside, there are flowing bridges and a serene environment, with no main hall, only individual booths separated by bamboo curtains.

He Huai-sheng nodded

I apologize, but even the chairman of Kaiser cannot arbitrarily intrude into a guest's private domain. You may contact Mr. He and have him open the door for you.

What?

In a moment, He Huaisheng approached with a small glass of red wine and handed it to Xia Chan

The summer cicada trembled its hand; isn't it supposed to be inaudible? Could it be that this person not only can speak but also read minds?

Upon entering the room, He Huaisheng walked towards the bar counter

The summer cicada's expression remained unchanged

Liu Baona chuckled, "I didn't expect to witness such a splendid performance just six months after my arrival"

After more than ten minutes, Liu Hongyi rushed back, panting. As soon as he arrived, he immediately bent down to apologize, saying, "My subordinate is being inconsiderate, please forgive me, General He." When he raised his eyes, he saw Xia Chan still standing there with a straight posture, and he immediately reprimanded, "What kind of attitude is that? Hurry up and apologize to General He."

Given the current situation, it is likely that drawing attention would only lead to more trouble. After some contemplation, the summer cicada decided to proceed inside.

However, I heard He Huaisheng say again: "I know a little."

Chen Rong said, "I heard someone mention the incident involving He Qihua that day"

Upon taking a look, it was He Huaisheng again: Miss Xia, please come to my room

The summer cicada nodded

The first point goes without saying, Liu Hongyi..." Chen Rong frowned slightly, as if even mentioning this name sullied her mouth, "The second point," Chen Rong smiled at her, "Come with me."

The hotel was crowded and bustling, and the summer cicadas dared not linger for long. After exchanging a few routine pleasantries, they mentioned that they had been away from their post for too long and needed to return to work

The summer cicada pressed its lips tightly together, remaining silent

In a moment, the summer cicada received a WeChat message: You can speak slowly, I can read lips

Please provide guidance, Sister Rong

The summer cicada glanced at her and said, "Is it beautiful? What did you see?"

Liu Hongyi reached out to take the teacup from the table, lifted the lid, and saw that yesterday's tea leaves were still inside. He slammed the teacup back onto the table, slightly suppressing his anger, "Xia Chan, you have truly disappointed me."

Liu Hongyi, with a beaming smile, said: "Mr. He, Mr. He has just been ill yesterday and is still resting in bed. I understand that you and Mr. He share a deep uncle-nephew bond and are eager to reunite, but it would be better to let Mr. He rest well and visit tomorrow instead"

Chen Rong glanced at her and said, "In fact, there may not be a third path to take..."

The summer cicada smiled wryly

The summer cicada hangs its eyes down

She had little personal interaction with Chen Rong, but the two shared a mutual understanding, embodying the essence of a gentlemanly friendship that is as淡如水. Therefore, Xia Chan did not engage in any superficial pleasantries; once the dishes were served, she went straight to the point

Do not come here to gloat now

The summer cicada could only perfunctorily respond, "I have failed to live up to General Liu's teachings"

Xia Chan asked: "Isn't He Huai Sheng the CEO of the Southern Branch of Xinghui Technology? Why does he look so disheveled, as if he were caught eloping?"

After a moment of stalemate, He Qihua coldly snorted at the doctor and left with a flick of his sleeve

He Huai-sheng took out his phone and typed a few lines of text

Chen Rong shook her head, "Of course, I have considered this for you as well, but changing positions still cannot bypass Liu Hongyi. He must sign the application form before you can approach the HR department..."

The summer cicada busily said: "We cannot drink during work hours..." Upon realizing that he could not hear, he fell silent again

Chen Rong then fell silent and picked up the chopsticks that had been set aside for a long time

Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of danger

He Huai-sheng glanced at her, placed the red wine on the coffee table, and at the moment he bent down, a hoarse voice suddenly escaped his lips: "Miss Blind..."

Everyone describes him as a delicate little white flower that can be easily bullied, but I do not think so

A thirty-year-old man, whose parents passed away early and who has a younger sister, became deaf later in life. He has spent a significant part of his life in a state of helplessness in the south. Yet now, he dares to venture alone into the treacherous environment of Chongcheng to contend for his inheritance, reduced to the point of needing a waiter as a shield. His ignorance and fearlessness reach such a level that it is not innocence, but rather sheer foolishness.

However, not a moment of peace was allowed for her, as her phone vibrated again

Yet in her heart, she thought that if it were not for the fact that he had helped her that night, she truly would not be willing to take the lead in this matter. Not only did she gain no benefits, but she also nearly lost her job.

He He Huaisheng straightened up again, his gaze sweeping across her face, he opened his mouth and said, "... ... Thank you"

... ... Therefore, He Huaisheng is either foolish or ... ...

He remembered that he couldn't hear and prepared to take out his phone

Then find someone qualified to come over

Liu Hongyi's expression slightly cleared up as he waved his hand, "Return to work; if any more mistakes occur, I will not be able to cover for you."

Chen Rong rarely showed interest in gossip, "What kind of person do you think He Huaisheng is?"

However, her desire to focus solely on her own well-being was soon shattered by reality: the newly appointed CEO took office ahead of schedule, and the first order of business was to streamline personnel.

The summer cicada was filled with pent-up frustration, yet at this moment, it had to confront Liu Hongyi. Tomorrow, it would be able to pack up and leave, so it could only bow deeply at a ninety-degree angle to He Qihua and apologize

Open the door

She stepped into the elevator, leaning her body against one side, and let out a low sigh

The summer cicadas grew increasingly anxious. Previously, she had only a slight desire for the position of supervisor; whether she succeeded or not would not hinder her from continuing to be a diligent team leader in her current role. However, with the announcement of layoffs, everyone began to take action. If she remained standing still, she would inevitably find herself at a disadvantage.

Liu Baona nodded, "Indeed, it is said that Mr. He is particularly helpless in the south, constantly being thwarted... Xinghui was originally the family business of his grandfather, which grew under his father's management, but now it has been completely divided among a group of distant relatives. For instance, He Qihua is his uncle from the same clan... They are just taking advantage of the fact that his parents passed away early, he is deaf, and he has a younger sister. Today, he also faced a setback right from the start, being put in his place as soon as he arrived."

Here, Liu Baona is still exclaiming, "... ... just like a fallen prince"

After a short while, the door opened, and He Huaisheng made a gesture inviting the guests to enter

In the latter half, the two engaged in casual conversation

The first summer cicada felt a chill run down its spine after a moment's thought, as for the second path

The summer cicada harbors concerns, hesitating to take action

Chen Rong pondered: "You now have two paths to choose from"

She thought for a moment and then asked Chen Rong: "What if I were to change positions?" If she were to move to the front office department, with her qualifications, she would have the opportunity to be promoted to lobby manager after working there for two years

This statement is somewhat superficial and presumptuous, as the summer cicada's inquiry feels rather impolite

He Huai-sheng once again expressed his gratitude earnestly through WeChat

He Qihua did not look at the summer cicada and said to Liu Hongyi, "Open the door"

The housekeeping department is discussing that Mr. He appears to be visiting Chongcheng to investigate the market and expand business, but in reality, he is preparing to regain control of Xinghui's headquarters in Chongcheng

A person emerged from behind He Qihua, presumably his assistant, and looked at her, asking, "Are you in charge of the guests in this room"

The summer cicada trembled, thinking it had experienced a hallucination

Upon arriving at the entrance of 1208, Xia Chan sent a message to He Huaisheng, "Mr. He, please open the door."

Oh," Chen Rong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

He Huai-sheng, however, was not in a hurry; he stood at the door, patiently waiting

Act according to the rules! Don't treat a mere chicken feather as a command. With your attitude, you should get lost as soon as possible

The summer cicada feels a heavy heart

Liu Hongyi pulled out the swivel chair from the large desk, sat down heavily, and shouted angrily: "Do you not want to work anymore?"

Xia Chan replied: You are welcome, after all, Mr. He has also helped me

Liu Hongyi's smile suddenly faded, and he cast a cold glance at Xia Chan beside him, "Xia, come to my office."

The summer cicada stood beside the sofa, watching his back, not daring to act recklessly.

Manager Liu is on a business trip. Do you need me to contact the deputy manager for you

The sound of the summer cicadas is cold and hard: "I am merely acting in accordance with the regulations"
