The most beautiful thing is when someone understands you
If President Sun truly gets angry, I simply cannot withstand it
5
But God is just so fair. When he heard Chun Jiao at the front desk say that no one had left the documents at the front desk, Mr. Li exploded. With a mix of Hong Kong and local dialect in his accent, he placed one hand on his hip and began to scold:
Despite such reproaches, Chun Jiao felt a warmth in her heart
After everyone dispersed, Li Zhiming walked up to Chun Jiao and softly reproached her
A warm current surged in Li Zhiming's heart, making him feel as if his heart was melting like hot chocolate, yet it also burned and hurt him.
The door of the locker was opened, and a corner of a brown paper envelope, pressed beneath many miscellaneous items, suddenly appeared before the eyes of the two.
How do you understand me so well? My little thoughts are as clear as black and white in your eyes..." said Li Zhiming
In the end, he decided to first borrow a portion of the staff from the housekeeping department to assist.
Not long after Chun Jiao got into the car, Li Zhiming's phone rang; it was a call from Xiao Fu
After experiencing the incident of file loss, Chun Jiao unexpectedly turned misfortune into fortune
It is it, it is it! Little Ai excitedly pulled Chun Jiao's hand in delight
"Where is Xiao Ai? Isn't she supposed to be on duty tonight?" Li Zhiming promptly shifted his gaze to Chun Jiao, interrupting that person's incessant chatter.
"Yes, I see..." Li Zhiming smiled slightly, thinking that a woman who plays by the rules is easy to deal with. An Qi's lines were almost exactly what he had anticipated. "However, I have also calculated that based on the current number of staff in the housekeeping department and the workload, if we work two hours of overtime every day and cut the staff by half, all these tasks can be completed. Of course, with Manager An's capabilities, I believe that the work can be finished without any overtime."
In such a situation, what else can be said? Could it be that it cannot be found? Anyway, I have searched everywhere at the front desk, and there is absolutely nothing. Therefore, the last hope is right here; we might as well take a gamble.
There will be plenty of things to look at in the future, such as venues, gowns, and wedding candies... all sorts of matters. " Xiao Fu said casually while flipping through a magazine.
Then be careful on the road, sigh... you have seen all the jokes there are to see" Li Zhiming said dejectedly
Li Zhiming can see her happiness and progress, what reason does he have not to do this thing
However, for Li Zhiming, in addition to caregiving, there is another layer of reason, which is self-affirmation. Therefore, he has always approached this job with great caution, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
I am currently driving, and safe driving is of utmost importance
Who are you?" Sun Wen looked at the girl in front of him, whose gaze was resolute. Her courage to stand up and speak like this piqued his interest significantly
Make a phone call to her
After Li Zhiming prepared his notes, he lightly stepped into Sun Wen's office
For a long time, he placed one hand on Chun Jiao's shoulder, patted it in a comrade-like manner, and said earnestly
Li Zhiming gazed at Chun Jiao's silhouette, becoming somewhat entranced. His thoughts gradually drifted back to the past, and just as he was about to immerse himself in memories, his hand accidentally pressed down on the steering wheel, causing the car's horn to blare.
Half an hour later, he returned to the lobby once again, observing the crowd, who seemed to be on vacation except for Chun Jiao, and strode purposefully towards her
He did not dare to think too much; only during the occasional midnight reveries would he suddenly feel a wave of small emotions for Chun Jiao, who had always been silently by his side. That small emotion made him feel somewhat scorched
Only then did she remember that there was indeed such a matter today, but she could not recall where that document was placed
This was the first time she had seen Li Zhiming in such a manner, tenderly and considerately cherishing Sun Xiaofu
Li Zhiming is unable to articulate or comprehend clearly; he is rather reluctant to recall the past or to speculate about the present. Many things, if they were to remain as they are now, would actually be quite good.
Of course, Xiaofu also took out the steak voucher she had prepared that day, which made Li Zhiming feel a warm comfort in his heart, realizing that Xiaofu had grown up
They all know that the hardest worker here is Chun Jiao, but even Chun Jiao has been reprimanded, which made everyone realize that the situation is dire. They began to give up resistance and were temporarily intimidated.
Compared to her work in the housekeeping department, Chun Jiao truly loves this small front desk position
"Let's see what happened. Besides, what else is there for me to look at? It's just wedding dresses, after all," Sun Xiaofu said, pretending to be nonchalant.
The scene in the housekeeping department was similar to what Li Zhiming had imagined. Anqi was busy and nimble, and as she passed by Li Zhiming, she would even say a few words:
Then, she shook her head and strode towards the bus station
"Do not worry, who am I? How could I, the esteemed Li Zhiming, possibly be unable to handle such a trivial matter?" Li Zhiming said, patting his chest in a show of bravado. Just then, the phone rang again, and the voice of Sun Xiaofu shouted from the other end.
"I forgot," Xiao Ai said anxiously, her face filled with frustration as she spoke softly to Chun Jiao
Li Zhiming had just arrived at the hotel when he took the coveted position of the lobby manager, even though everyone, including Li Zhiming himself, knew that this position was entirely a favor from Sun Wen to his future son-in-law
At this point, Li Zhiming glanced at Anqi in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He calmed his little emotions and then said
Li Zhiming, driving out of the underground parking garage, was lost in thought when he saw Chun Jiao also finishing work
She felt a pang in her heart, as the once roaring flames of the stove were suddenly extinguished, leaving her enveloped in cold, cast away in the frigid winter.
"You don't know..." Xiao Ai leaned closer to Chun Jiao and whispered, "This position of the lobby manager was originally secured for An Qi, but who would have thought that Li Zhiming would suddenly appear and force An Qi out. An Qi has always harbored resentment over this matter and has been trying every means to sabotage Li Zhiming. That front desk staff, Xiao Mi, was also driven away by An Qi."
Many people who initially had numerous opinions about him have gradually been won over by Li Zhiming's work attitude during these days of getting to know him better
Li Zhiming looked at Chun Jiao from a distance, his face full of apology
As soon as Xiaomi stepped out of the office, Li Zhiming scratched his head. There were originally only two people left at the front desk, and now one of them had left, leaving him feeling somewhat at a loss.
Hurry and take it out to the guests, and remember to bow at a ninety-degree angle. Chun Jiao said with a smile, feeling relieved herself
What is wrong? Just wait for me for a moment, anyway, I have finished my work.
All along, Li Zhiming has been diligent and meticulous, personally overseeing every matter and striving for perfection
No need, it would not be good for others to see it
"Chun Jiao, you are truly foolish," Li Zhiming said gently, looking at Chun Jiao, who had a serious expression on her face
3
However, Sun Wen continued, "But Zhiming, if Meng Chunjiao is transferred, there are some issues you will have to confront. In the workplace, talent is very important, but sometimes due to certain considerations, sacrifices must be made."
Li Zhiming certainly knows that Anqi hates him, a kind of hatred that, like wildfires that cannot be extinguished, springs back to life with the arrival of spring winds
"Have you seen it or not? Just say it's good." Xiao Fu said with a displeased expression
You really have a broad mind, haven't you become a saint!
We are currently in a critical period, and I believe Manager An will prioritize the interests of the hotel just like I do, without worrying about whether or not he is working overtime. I have already assured General Manager Sun that Manager An will definitely act selflessly to resolve issues for our department, and Manager An will certainly not disappoint everyone at the hotel, right
Manager An, it is like this, regarding the two tour groups at the hotel in three days...
"What is going on? You changed shifts without taking leave, and you forgot the matters that the client specifically reminded you of. Regardless of your reasons, this is a dereliction of duty, do you understand?" Li Zhiming stood up and said
Then hurry up and apologize first, buy some time. I just checked at the front desk, and there is none. Could it be in your locker? Give me the key!" Chun Jiao said softly, exchanging information with Xiao Ai at lightning speed, and secretly took the key that Xiao Ai handed to her.
He decided to "kill" Chun Jiao to show the monkeys
"Stop being so glib, just speak! What brings you to me?"
Thus, the two individuals restored the bright and beautiful spring of yesteryears, once again filled with a sweetness akin to that of glue and lacquer.
I am sorry..." As he saw everyone starting to work, Li Zhiming whispered to Chun Jiao
Li Zhiming, what do you mean? Whether I look early or late, I have to look! Just listen to your tone, as if I am forcing you to get married. Is it not acceptable for me to check in advance?
Fearing that Li Zhiming might make mistakes at work, and if mistakes were made, also fearing that he would miss the opportunity to watch the commotion
"Why does she have to do this?" Chun Jiao asked in confusion
Received the order
Manager Li, please make way
"Alright, but... if it causes you any trouble, then I absolutely will not do it," Chun Jiao said with some concern.
Forget it, they have already called to urge me. If I go late again, I will be scolded once more. You men have it tough too. Just stop at the intersection ahead, it really doesn't need to be so complicated. " Chun Jiao pretended to be relaxed and joked.
Yet perhaps this also contains a subtle sense of guilt, though he may be unaware of it or unwilling to acknowledge it
The magazine beside her, titled "Xiaofu," rustled loudly, perhaps this is a reflection of their future life
He feels that no matter how hard he tries, he still cannot catch up to the life that Xiaofu desires. He does not know how much more time he will need to truly bring everything into balance
Li Zhiming stood awkwardly and quietly beside, waiting until Anqi felt she had nothing more to do, then stopped and looked at him, her gaze piercing.
Ah? Chun Jiao was momentarily taken aback, but upon seeing Li Zhiming's apologetic gaze, she immediately understood and lowered her head. The few people in the hall who were idly working also stopped to watch the commotion
Stop wasting words, bring your manager to me, I want to see what kind of person can train a bunch of fools like you
Since Chun Jiao was seconded to his department, all the sense of achievement belonged to her. She attentively cared for every little emotion of Li Zhiming, helping him resolve every minor trouble within her capabilities
This is akin to the first ray of dawn before sunrise, a small flame in the cold winter, or a roasted leg of lamb in the 1960s, which excites both individuals
I can admire you alone. You haven't even touched it, how can you know if the fabric is good or not? It's all similar to mosquito netting material, clearly designed to deceive naive young girls. Besides, it's only worn once, renting a set would suffice
At the moment Chun Jiao turned around, the smile on her face instantly froze and slowly faded from the corners of her mouth
2
Li Zhiming looked at Xiaofu, who was intently reading a magazine with her head down, feeling somewhat helpless and a bit anxious
After several nights of overtime, the two important tour groups were finally successfully sent off. Li Zhiming, after a long and exhausting period of work, finally enjoyed a moment of relaxation
Hmm... Chun Jiao nodded, feeling warm inside, like a stove burning in winter; no matter how cold it was outside, sitting by the stove brought a sense of warmth.
"If it is because of Anqi, then you can rest assured, the conflict between her and me will eventually explode." Li Zhiming smiled relaxedly, "Even if it is not because of you, it will be for other reasons. I can see that you enjoy this job; during those days at the front desk, I could tell how happy you were. So, don't make excuses, take a good rest this weekend, recharge your energy, and prepare to officially welcome your new job on Monday." Li Zhiming comforted Chun Jiao in a firm tone, as if he were also encouraging himself in his battle with Anqi. So, don't make excuses, take a good rest this weekend, recharge your energy, and prepare to officially welcome your new job on Monday." Li Zhiming comforted Chun Jiao in a firm tone, as if he were also encouraging himself in his battle with Anqi.
In the workplace, this kind of uncertain state is originally a bad omen, and sure enough, a few days later, something indeed happened to Xiao Ai.
My name is Meng Chunjiao, and I have been sent by the housekeeping department to assist.
Then take some time to accompany her, otherwise she will complain all day about me being this old dad, saying that the work I arranged for you is too much
However, Li Zhiming could not express it; he found himself choked with emotion, yet too shy to articulate it, unsure of where to begin.
6
In addition to Xiao Ai breathing a sigh of relief regarding such punishment, there is also Li Zhiming
Both Li Zhiming and Sun Wen are well aware of Chun Jiao's protection of Xiao Ai
Are you afraid that this matter will exacerbate the situation between me and Anqi?" Li Zhiming asked cautiously
What she can do is to give him an affirming look, to reassure him, and to make him believe
"Get in the car, consider it a way to make up for the last time I stood you up."
Ah, what? Do you have any objections to your current job? Although you are temporarily assigned to this department, do not think that just because I am not your direct supervisor, you can be complacent and act recklessly here. This is not the time for you to show your loyalty to your supervisor; the reception of these two groups involves the interests of the entire resort. If something goes wrong, all of you will be dismissed without exception, and no one will be able to protect you.
So, you want to transfer that Meng Chunjiao from the housekeeping department directly to the front desk? Sun Wen was a clever man and immediately discerned Li Zhiming's intentions; he was not surprised by this idea.
Li Zhiming thought to himself that Meng Chunjiao was truly foolish, taking such matters upon herself. However, Sun Wen developed a greater fondness for this girl who valued loyalty.
He was tired, gently resting his head on the soft car seat, and sighed
However, there are always exceptions to every rule, and Angel from the housekeeping department is an exception to Li Zhiming.
Are you really foolish or just pretending to be? Do you think she genuinely wanted to arrange for you to come here? Just look at the few people who came with you; they are all incompetent and can barely take care of themselves. It's only because you just arrived and Anqi is not familiar with you that she brought you over. If she knew how capable you are, she wouldn't have let you come here.
Hello, General Sun! Just emerging from the fatigue of work, he exclaimed in a voice several octaves higher.
I? I am merely focused on my work; I am not involved in these matters," Chun Jiao said淡淡地.
This is not Xiaofu's usual style, and Li Zhiming is somewhat taken aback.
Ah? Chun Jiao was momentarily taken aback and found it hard to respond.
Li Zhiming looked at the people before him as if he were gazing at several mountains along his path, his face filled with sorrow
Yet now, in her gaze, she read a hint of helplessness and plea, which made Chun Jiao feel a pang of heartache
Mr. Li, who came to collect the documents, if he merely stands there in silence, any woman passing by him would have to endure a cold war struck by the radiance of his handsome presence
You have something to do tonight, right? I'll go back by myself, you don't need to see me off.
Sun Xiaofu originally thought that since the house had already been purchased, the next step was simply to dress herself up a bit more beautifully while waiting to get married
Well, go ahead. Today is Friday, so make sure to rest well over the weekend. On Monday, let Meng Chunjiao go directly to the front desk to work. " Seeing that Li Zhiming did not seem inclined to talk, Sun Wen appropriately ended the conversation.
His relationship with Chun Jiao appears to be very simple, but in reality, it conceals a multitude of chaotic complexities
Thus, Chun Jiao repeatedly sought advice, only to be met with a cold glare from Xiao Ai each time.
On that day, Li Zhiming finished work early. After receiving a few pointers from his future father-in-law, he decided to arrange a proper date with Xiaofu.
It is this kind of hatred that makes Li Zhiming usually avoid her at all costs, yet today he finds himself at a loss and can only lower his head to seek help from Anqi, fully aware that a storm is brewing.
However, what left Li Zhiming even more at a loss occurred three days later, which was the first day after Xiaomi's departure
"You rascal, where's the military parade... hurry up and come sit down." In response to Li Zhiming's playful remark, Sun Wen smiled and poured him a cup of tea, "You have done an excellent job this time, and your progress is becoming more and more significant."
As a lobby manager, or more accurately, as a resentful prospective son-in-law of the boss and a thorn in the side of the older woman, he can only learn to employ various underhanded tactics that do not cross his bottom line
Mr. Li, please remain calm for a moment; I will clarify this matter first
Angel has posed such a significant challenge for himself; if he cannot properly discipline this group of people, all his efforts will be in vain
Many people wear rented wedding dresses and still lead happy lives. Buying one for yourself does not make it unique; to be unique, one must wear the most special one
Chun Jiao, I thank you for considering me. You must accept this position. Without you, the completion of this work would certainly not be what it is now. Therefore, you must allow me to express my gratitude to you; this is the only thing I can do for you. These days, saying thank you to you again makes me feel like a broken record. You understand me; everything is unspoken, so do not let me feel indebted to you
Regarding Chun Jiao's matter, Xiao Fu did not inquire, and Li Zhiming did not offer any further explanation, as he did not wish to invite trouble for himself
Really? Then thank you, you have added another formidable warrior to my ranks
Despite the mutual concealments, living under peace always gives one a sense of illusory tranquility
Xiaomi, you should be aware that according to the company's personnel system, a resignation application must be submitted one month in advance
"Mr. Sun, Meng Chunjiao is the only person from the housekeeping department who speaks English, so I asked her to assist at the front desk," Li Zhiming quickly stepped forward to explain
Why are you so foolish? This matter has nothing to do with you at all. You came out to save the situation, have you ever considered that if things go wrong, you could be fired
Chun Jiao was indeed understanding, giving Li Zhiming a smile that said "it's okay," and then turned her head to the side, looking out the window
Chun Jiao is considered a newcomer in the housekeeping department, which is why An Qi unknowingly assigned her to come over, finally providing Li Zhiming with a small consolation
I miss you, so I came to see you. You haven't eaten yet, have you
She smiled at Li Zhiming, knowing that she could no longer evade things as playfully and easily as she used to.
Chun Jiao was busy replacing new tableware for the ethnic minority tour group when she was suddenly startled by a loud shout from Li Zhiming. Although she quickly understood the intention behind it, Li Zhiming's sudden outburst still took her by surprise
Zhi Ming... but is this really good? Chun Jiao furrowed her brows, her expression somewhat gloomy, and she was not as happy as Li Zhi Ming had imagined
Sigh... Li Zhiming took a deep breath, pretended to drink the water in his cup as if it were wine, then tidied his hair and walked out of the office in a heroic manner
Seeing Xiao Ai arrive, Chun Jiao hurriedly stood up and walked over, softly saying
Angel even secretly thought that if she were a man, she would spare no effort to take Sun Xiaofu away from Li Zhiming, and then pull him down from that position, forcefully
On several occasions, Li Zhiming saw Anqi in the corridor training her subordinates to chant slogans and collectively cheer in a manner reminiscent of a pyramid scheme, which made him shudder involuntarily
However, amidst the towering mountains, Li Zhiming suddenly saw a ray of light, which was: Chun Jiao
7
"Let's go... I'll take you a part of the way," said Li Zhiming as he rolled down the car window next to Cheng Jiao.
No need, it is still early, I can go back by myself
Anqi was momentarily rendered speechless by Li Zhiming's questioning, her gaze becoming even more intense and heated
She forces others, and they just leave; I think that little Xiaomi is the foolish one. Chun Jiao shook her head noncommittally.
The process of reconciliation is quite simple: a phone call, a bouquet of flowers, a meal, and a movie.
He was somewhat surprised by Chun Jiao's performance
"That works, just leave the resignation letter here, and I will take care of it. Please hand over your work to Xiao Ai." Li Zhiming nodded helplessly
"You really are quite clever, aren't you..." Sun Wen smiled, "You must know that regarding my decision to promote you to the position of lobby manager, An Qi has always had a knot in her heart. This time, Meng Chunjiao's performance is evident to everyone. If she is transferred to the front desk, it is likely that the conflict between An Qi and you will come to the surface. I wonder if you are prepared for this." He looked at Li Zhiming, seemingly very concerned about his response.
In fact, since the incident with the documents, Sun Wen has been more attentive to Meng Chunjiao.
Li Zhiming's head suddenly became large; if it were two ordinary groups, he would be able to handle them completely
There is a reason for the value of the expensive. Just look at this design, and then consider this fabric; once I wear it, I am sure to astonish everyone and become the object of admiration for all.
In this regard, Li Zhiming did not intend to seek Chun Jiao's consent; he believed that once he had meticulously arranged this matter, surprising Chun Jiao would be an accomplishment that brought him a sense of fulfillment
She had a last-minute matter to attend to and swapped shifts with me
I am truly sorry, please give me another chance
Chun Jiao knew that this was Li Zhiming seeking her help, a look she had seen too many times. During those years when they were still children, whenever Li Zhiming fell asleep in class and was called upon by the teacher to answer questions, he would cast such a glance at his deskmate Chun Jiao.
When reporting to his office, they were all a bunch of useless individuals, clearly sent by Anqi to disrupt the situation. They essentially belonged to the category of people who, if they do not create chaos, would still require divine intervention.
A few minutes later, Li Zhiming arrived, and before he could even begin to explain, the person started speaking first
The time that Chun Jiao spent doing hard labor was not very long, which is something that Li Zhiming finds very reassuring
Where did you put the document
Are you the manager? I have lost an important document at your front desk. How do you educate your employees? When a guest's belongings are lost, the first thought should not be about shifting responsibility, but rather about how to recover it. It is ridiculous. I have stayed in many five-star hotels, and yours is truly the worst!
Xiao Ai was grateful for Chun Jiao's noble righteousness on that day, and thus formed this friendship. In her future work, she almost exhausted herself to nurture Chun Jiao, dedicating everything she understood without holding back a single bit.
Originally clever and quick-witted, Chun Jiao, with the help of Xiao Ai, has made rapid progress as if aided by divine intervention. Thanks to her commendable English proficiency, she has resolved numerous issues and concerns for foreign friends, earning much praise from many guests.
Manager Li, rest assured that our housekeeping department will take care of all the tasks within our responsibilities
However, regarding the matter of the document, Xiao Ai had long forgotten it completely. In her haste, she locked various trivial items together into her storage cabinet.
Reading is a personal matter for you; even if I temporarily help you through a difficult time, it will not benefit you at all. In the end, you will have to bear all the negative consequences yourself, and I do not wish to harm you
The hotel where Li Zhiming works is a renowned resort, frequented by dignitaries and nobility.
For Li Zhiming, everything that Chun Jiao silently did for him, apart from being able to express a pale thank you from the bottom of his heart, the only reward he could offer was to give Chun Jiao a push in her work
However, before she could speak, she remembered that Li Zhiming was completely unaware of the matter of buying a house
After receiving the document, Xiao Ai casually set it aside. Originally, she was scheduled to work that evening, but her boyfriend, who works out of town, unexpectedly returned that day. With the excitement of a brief reunion, Xiao Ai asked Chun Jiao to cover her shift, and she hurried out to check into a hotel with her boyfriend
Two girls stood solemnly beside Xiao Ai's locker, then took a deep breath and opened the small door of the locker
Anqi is now thirty-two years old, unmarried, and it is said that she has never been in a relationship.
Li Zhiming himself did not know whether the effort he put into Chun Jiao was out of gratitude, guilt, or something else entirely
I understand, "Chun Jiao said softly
"Chun Jiao, what if it's not in the locker? Why are you talking nonsense?" Xiao Ai asked nervously
It is all due to your excellent guidance; the soldiers perform well in battle, and that must be entirely attributed to the commander’s merit
You really have a good temper, not even holding it against Anqi. Xiao Ai expressed her discontent on behalf of Chun Jiao, helplessly pouting her lips
Li Zhiming's expression became momentarily unnatural, and he quickly explained that there was traffic on the road, offering a series of humble reassurances
In fact, he also wanted to say, why do you always think of others, why do you never consider yourself, and why is it always me that you go to great lengths to take care of?
Otherwise... let's go together, I will escort you
I know that Manager An has always had a conflict with you, and I am afraid she might make things difficult for you because of this matter. If that is the case, I would feel very guilty, so I cannot accept this job. Chun Jiao said seriously, striking a chord with Li Zhiming.
Moreover, there are many matters that you need to address promptly. Sun Wen looked at Li Zhiming with a somewhat sly expression, which made Li Zhiming feel a bit anxious, prompting him to quickly change the subject.
It seemed as if they could hear the ticking sound of the clock's second hand; for these two girls, the entire process felt like a life-and-death gamble where a single misstep could lead to irretrievable consequences. Both of them silently perspired with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads
Forget it, it wouldn't be good if others see it. Chun Jiao's face showed some hesitation
Before long, Li Zhiming's grades not only soared but also surpassed those of Chun Jiao with ease
However, might it be a bit early
Oh... please continue with what you were about to say
From that day on, Chun Jiao worked overtime, secretly observing Xiao Ai's methods and processes at work. Being clever, she quickly grasped the general aspects of the front desk duties.
One person is perpetually exhausted, while another person can never understand.
"Since it is in her locker, let's take it out for the guest first, and we can discuss this matter later," Sun Wen said
The mistake you made this time is quite serious, and Mr. Sun is also present; this matter will be decided directly by Mr. Sun
There is no need to feel embarrassed; I am already very satisfied to have caught this short ride, which has saved me a great deal of effort. By the way, didn't you say you had some good news to share with me? What is it? Spring Jiao changed her tone at the right moment, her energy as vibrant as the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning
Thank you, Zhiming
Hello, Xiao Ai, this is Chun Jiao. Did you receive a document today that needs to be delivered to Mr. Li?
Li Zhiming felt very gratified by Chun Jiao's smooth progress at work. During his most difficult times, the person who always stood behind him was Chun Jiao, and he wished for her well more than anyone else.
All the staff at the hotel are aware of this matter, and naturally, Li Zhiming is no exception
Mr. Sun, in fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on her; I also bear some responsibility
Li Zhiming, emerging from Sun Wen's office, suddenly felt invigorated, experiencing a robust sense of well-being and vitality. Gazing at the lively sunlight outside the window, he thought that at this moment, everything was so beautiful
But is it really that simple, just friends?
Because among all the people transferred from Angel, only Chun Jiao speaks English, and Li Zhiming used this excuse to assign Chun Jiao to the front desk
Sun Wen watched as his future son-in-law handled the matter skillfully, feeling quite pleased in his heart. He did not pursue the matter further and symbolically deducted half a month's salary from both of them to settle it.
Nevertheless, every time he is called upon to answer questions, he still habitually glances at Chun Jiao
4
Yes, indeed, I have always been confident in Manager An's capabilities. However, this time there is still a lot of preparatory work that our hotel needs to undertake, and I simply do not have enough personnel on my side. I would like to borrow some people from you to assist us.
I know that Manager An will definitely think that each department should fulfill its own responsibilities, and that your manpower was originally sufficient. So why should you work overtime to do the tasks that others should be handling, right?
Chun Jiao glanced at him, then picked up the phone and called Li Zhiming
When Chun Jiao picked up the phone to call Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai was in bed with her boyfriend, engaged in intimate activities. Upon receiving the call, she displayed a look of impatience.
Li Zhiming was taken aback, as if he had been forcibly pulled back from the threshold of his memories. He smiled helplessly and shook his head, then started the car and caught up with Chun Jiao
Chun Jiao's astonishing work ability was also noted by Sun Wen, and another person who took notice and kept it in mind was An Qi
"Ha, Chun Jiao, your serious superior is once again contemplating life while watching you." Whenever Xiao Ai gently nudged Chun Jiao's shoulder and whispered this to her, Chun Jiao would merely smile and nod at An Qi, continuing with her work
The contingency plan is easy to formulate, but where can we allocate personnel from
Mr. Sun, you see your level, you immediately noticed that I have something going on. I won't beat around the bush with you, the work this time was indeed done well..." Li Zhiming scratched his head a bit awkwardly, "However, this is not solely my achievement; if it weren't for those partners, I definitely wouldn't have done well on my own, so... so some people deserve to be rewarded... so..." Li Zhiming deliberately spoke a bit hesitantly. "However, this is not solely my achievement; if it weren't for those partners, I definitely wouldn't have done well on my own, so... so some people deserve to be rewarded... so..." Li Zhiming deliberately spoke a bit hesitantly.
How expensive it is! Why don't those who make wedding dresses just steal them? Otherwise, we can just find someone to make a set based on the design.
She carried a bag and lowered her head, her hair loosely tied at the back. The setting sun bathed her profile in a warm yellow hue, creating an appearance that was serene and beautiful
"Alright, I won't interfere with your date any longer, I'll take my leave now." With that, Chun Jiao opened the door and got out of the car
How did you come here
He has known that the estrangement between him and Anqi has not been a matter of one or two days; it began the day Li Zhiming became the lobby manager. Every time he encounters Anqi, he can feel the sharp gaze of a strong woman who is also an older single woman, filled with a sense of unwillingness to yield and lingering resentment.
1
Five minutes later, Li Zhiming came out. Chun Jiao stood up, just about to greet him, when she saw Sun Xiaofu's figure in the distance. Upon seeing Li Zhiming, Xiaofu ran over and was firmly embraced by him
After the call was disconnected, Chun Jiao raised her head to look at that person, thinking to herself that such a beautiful face was truly spoiled by that mouth, what a pity
Oh, right, I completely forgot about this matter. You don't have to go to the housekeeping department on Monday..." Li Zhiming said, pretending to have a serious expression, then he broke into a smile, "Because you have been officially transferred to the front desk.
After reconciling with Xiaofu, Li Zhiming's life returned to tranquility. Early one morning, he appeared in the office dressed in a suit, exuding confidence, only to receive a resignation letter from the receptionist, Xiaomi.
What is there to argue about? I am just an employee, and I have to follow my superior's arrangements. Chun Jiao listened and was unconvinced, feeling completely at ease.
What happened? Is there something wrong
"Alright, alright, alright, our Xiaofu is right even if she goes against humanity..." Li Zhiming did not want to argue with Xiaofu any longer. Recent work had left him overwhelmed and exhausted, and he truly had no extra energy to continue fighting with Xiaofu
Zhiming, I have selected a few wedding dresses for you to see if they look good. These are all from Vera Wang, my favorite wedding dress brand. Although the prices are a bit high, I am only getting married once in my lifetime, so I must wear the most beautiful dress, don't you agree? Take a look, take a look. In the car, Xiaofu took out a wedding dress magazine, with a few pages dog-eared, and she showcased them one by one to Li Zhiming.
Xiao Ai approached several individuals and bowed cautiously.
What advice does Manager Li have? To keep it brief, I really have a lot on my plate here
Before the door closed, Chun Jiao turned her head back and smiled at Li Zhiming, saying:
Well... Spring Jiao, feeling helpless, could only smile and get into the car
So far, the various states exhibited by Anqi can only be classified as the latter.
You should not get involved, but let me share a little insider information with you. I heard that our front desk is currently hiring, and the one who holds the power of life and death in this matter is Li Zhiming. Chun Jiao, if you work hard and show a little more enthusiasm in front of Li Zhiming, this position might just be yours. Although the front desk is not the best position, it is certainly better than spending all day cleaning rooms in the housekeeping department. Xiao Ai earnestly advised Chun Jiao, as if she were an engineer of the human soul. Although the front desk is not the best position, it is certainly better than spending all day cleaning rooms in the housekeeping department. Xiao Ai earnestly advised Chun Jiao, as if she were an engineer of the human soul.
After many years, Chun Jiao seems to have changed not at all, still as gentle yet resilient as she was in the beginning, her eyes forever shining with a pure and innocent light
Cough... I don't mind, I'll just follow the arrangements. It doesn't matter where I am, I'm working for someone anyway, so it makes no difference to me. " Chun Jiao shrugged slightly, laughing lightly.
Well, it is like this. Today, Xiao Ai had an urgent matter at home and directly swapped shifts with me this afternoon without having time to request leave. I had originally promised to help her request leave, but later I forgot due to being overwhelmed with tasks. I suddenly remembered just now that when Xiao Ai left this afternoon, she seemed to mention that there was an important document placed at the front desk, fearing it might get lost due to the crowd, so she put it in her own locker. However, I was too busy at that time and not very familiar with many work processes, so I didn't take it to heart. When this guest suddenly appeared just now, I panicked and completely forgot about it. Therefore, I must first apologize for this matter.
Xiaomi has a handle in Angel's hands, and Angel has found a new job for Xiaomi, with a salary even slightly higher than here. Who wouldn't want to leave?" Xiao Ai exclaimed with a wink, "Originally, Angel wanted to make Li Zhiming stumble this time, and she planned to add some fuel to the fire, hoping to get him removed from the position of lobby manager. However, she didn't expect that a flaw in her meticulous plan would lead to her downfall.
"Zhiming, you really don't need to do this. I am just doing what I should do in my position. Even if it weren't you, I would still do the same..." ChunJiao's tone remained uncertain, somewhat at a loss.
Why? Upon hearing about Li Zhiming, Chun Jiao became interested
If Li Zhiming does not appear, and if Li Zhiming is not Sun Wen's prospective son-in-law, then the position of the lobby manager would undoubtedly belong to Anqi
Upon hearing Chun Jiao's question, Xiao Ai pushed away her boyfriend who was still on top of her, sprang up from the bed, and felt a chill run through her body.
What is there to be afraid of? You are here to support me after all
Li Zhiming felt a bit uncomfortable, but at this moment, many things were beyond his control
"Hmm, it looks as beautiful as what a fairy would wear," Li Zhiming said somewhat impatiently, driving the car in a perfunctory manner
Manager Li, my situation has arisen quite suddenly, so I truly cannot wait for a month. If this violates company policy or makes things difficult for you, then I can forgo this month's salary.
Sun Wen looked seriously at the flustered Xiao Ai, contemplated for a moment, and was just about to say something when he was interrupted by Chun Jiao
Just a glance, is that not enough?
Alright... that means I am making rapid progress, surpassing the UK and the US," Li Zhiming joked
Oh... then why are you working at the front desk
On the side, Chun Jiao felt somewhat awkward, as if there were a slight pain in a certain place in her heart
"Meng Chunjiao, what are you doing!" Chunjiao quietly complained to herself
In light of the comfort and diligent efforts provided by Chun Jiao, and contrasting with the apathy of others, Li Zhiming decided to take a bold step and made a decision that he believed was inhumane, yet one that Chun Jiao would surely understand
The document was returned intact to that person. Seeing the other party's unwillingness to let the matter rest, Li Zhiming promptly offered a hotel stay voucher and arranged for a luxury car from the hotel to take him away
However, Angel manages to handle every task she undertakes in an exceptionally organized manner, akin to a form of madness. Her four-year tenure as the housekeeping manager has allowed her to accumulate sufficient experience, and she is constantly preparing to become the resort's front office manager
Stop talking to me about these useless things. Each of you thinks your little cleverness is sufficient, right? I am telling you now, if you continue to be careless, unmotivated, and inefficient, you won't need to come in tomorrow! No matter which department you belong to, I still have this little authority.
Understood, now get to work quickly!" Li Zhiming shouted at everyone in the hall, and the others, being quite perceptive, also began to move swiftly.
Chun Jiao understood immediately, shrugged her shoulders, waved goodbye to Li Zhiming, made a gesture of encouragement while offering a big smile, and then turned around to walk away alone
Li Zhiming sighed helplessly, brought a few people to the hall, roughly arranged the work, and as he turned around, he threw a glance at Chun Jiao
However, the receptionist, Xiao Ai, was not particularly courteous to the newcomer, Chun Jiao. She genuinely believed that Chun Jiao was not on the same level as her. What school had she graduated from? How could Chun Jiao possibly be worthy of standing alongside her? She could not understand what Manager Li was thinking; even in desperate times, one should not choose such a woman to associate with.
The reconciliation between Li Zhiming and Sun Xiaofu occurred three days after Xiaofu purchased a house
Xiaofu felt indebted to Li Zhiming for having purchased a house without his consent, and thus decided to temporarily refrain from pursuing matters of the past, no longer questioning him about why he had to wait three days to apologize to her
That morning, Li Zhiming received a notification: a minority ethnic group travel team and a foreign research delegation would be checking into the hotel simultaneously in three days
How can you expect me to remain calm? Right now I ... ...
In this process, Chun Jiao played an indispensable role
Li Zhiming! You have gone to the West to fetch me, haven't you!
For a long time, Li Zhiming's left arm was covered with numerous small holes
Indeed, it is necessary. Mr. Sun, if there is nothing else, I will get back to my work
I have considered everything you mentioned, but I do not wish to compromise others for my own sake. After all, Meng Chunjiao has provided me with tremendous help this time, and her contributions cannot be overlooked. If it were not for her, I cannot even imagine what might have happened. Moreover, if I do not enforce clear rewards and punishments, how can I gain the trust of others?" Li Zhiming said resolutely, "The conflict between Anqi and me has always existed. Even if there were no Meng Chunjiao today, it would eventually be exacerbated by other matters in the future. It is like a bomb buried there, which could be detonated by some unknown trigger. Therefore, I have thought this through clearly. I would rather detonate this bomb myself than allow it to become an uncertain factor in my career." After saying this, he fixed his gaze on his future father-in-law, who is now his superior, feeling a bit anxious but more determined. I would rather detonate this bomb myself than allow it to become an uncertain factor in my career." After saying this, he fixed his gaze on his future father-in-law, who is now his superior, feeling a bit anxious but more determined.
"What can you do if you can't figure it out? Alright, let's get back to work quickly." Chun Jiao said with a smile, shaking her head. Xiao Ai, with a look of disappointment, turned her head and continued working.
Others produce filial sons under the rod, while Li Zhiming achieves results under the compass.
Then... then I won't take you home, I'm sorry, it always ends up like this. Li Zhiming felt a bit awkward
Ah... Li Zhiming suddenly felt that something was amiss. He stopped the car by the roadside and looked at Xiaofu, asking, "So... you started looking at wedding dresses so early?"
"Hello..." Li Zhiming answered the phone, "Alright, alright, I understand. I'll come pick you up shortly. Whatever you want, I will go along with your wishes. Just think about it... I miss you the most... So, I'm hanging up now." In the end, Li Zhiming was compelled to say "muah muah" into the phone a couple of times before hanging up.
Anqi deeply regrets her hasty decision to lend Chun Jiao to Li Zhiming, feeling as if her insides have turned blue with remorse. However, at this point, she finds herself powerless, merely watching as Li Zhiming thrives with Chun Jiao's assistance, her heart tangled with countless knots, each one bleeding.
Li Zhiming glanced at his phone screen and, feeling a bit embarrassed, looked at Chun Jiao.
This is already the fifth resignation letter he has received since taking office
Ah, what is this? You got promoted! From now on, you won't have to clean the room under Anqi's watchful eye anymore. The front desk job suits you better, doesn't it? Moreover, from now on, you will be my subordinate. If you dare to slack off, I won't be polite!
"What do you mean? What the hell are you joking about? They clearly told me on the phone that the document has already been placed at your front desk. What, are you blind or just slow-witted? That document is extremely important; if it gets lost, the combined salaries of everyone in your hotel for a year wouldn't be enough to cover it, do you understand?"
Gentle Spring Jiao, when exercising the right of supervision, surprisingly showed no mercy whatsoever
At that time, Chun Jiao would always just smile and turn her head away. Li Zhiming questioned her several times about why she did not come to the rescue, and Chun Jiao would always respond very seriously:
They are they, and I am I! In any case, I don't care; I just want to buy this
In fact, it is nothing much; everyone is working for others, and Xiao Ai has it tough as well. I do not want to see her being fired. Moreover, you already do not have enough staff here. If you were to fire Xiao Ai, where would you find an experienced receptionist in such a short time? At that point, your pressure would only increase. Rather than firing her, it would be better to let me go, as I have little experience and cannot assist you much.
Oh... thank you, this has solved an immensely difficult problem for me. Li Zhiming let out a sigh of relief and unconsciously smiled
It was at that time that Li Zhiming fell in love with her
Sir, I sincerely apologize, but I truly do not know. It is possible that my other colleague on duty during the day took over...
Li Zhiming also smiled, waved at Chun Jiao, then started the vehicle and sped towards the direction of Xiao Fu
Everything is fine, it's just that I've been busy with work lately and haven't had time to spend with her
Shachun Jiao, Li Zhiming felt somewhat uncomfortable. Why do you always think of others? Why can't there be a moment in your life when you are selfish for yourself?
After he hung up the phone, both individuals in the car felt somewhat awkward
Manager Li, I am sorry for ... ...
In the storage room, Chun Jiao and Xiao Ai hurriedly walked in
However, ethnic minorities and foreigners inherently differ in terms of dining, beverages, and lifestyle habits, necessitating the preparation of two sets of contingency plans
At this moment, Li Zhiming feels that today is his lucky day. He has finished a busy day at work, is facing the weekend, has time to spend with his girlfriend, and has also provided crucial support for a friend's career path
The rapidly spinning wheels of the car stirred up the leaves that had fallen to the ground, causing the leaves to gently twirl before softly settling back down.
She cannot let herself take a risk
Chun Jiao stood among the crowd, once again seeing such a gaze, still as innocent as before, as if time had never passed. She tied her hair in little braids, cautiously watching Li Zhiming, playfully smiling before turning her head away.
On that day, a guest received by Xiao Ai left an important document at the front desk and instructed that Mr. Li would return in the evening to collect it, emphasizing that it must be handed directly to him
Although Xiao Ai has always disapproved of Chun Jiao, seeing her progress so rapidly, Xiao Ai begins to feel somewhat insecure.
Angel has worked at this hotel for seven years; when she first arrived, she was merely a little girl doing odd jobs
Such a gaze, if not due to a bond of three lifetimes, can only stem from the enmity of a family massacre, leaving no middle ground to choose from
Li Zhiming, feeling helpless, could only take a glance. Although he did not clearly see the style, he did get a good look at the price.
You always have a silver tongue, let's not talk about work for now, how have you and Xiaofu been doing lately
It's alright, I will take you home first, and it won't be too late to go afterwards
She could discern that, apart from blame, there was also concern, and even a hint of understated care. Thus, she feigned a relaxed smile and said:
Chun Jiao stared blankly for a while, suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of familiarity, yet she could not recall where this sense of familiarity originated from
"Alright, stop flattering me in different ways. Since Xiao Ai is back, I won't cover for her anymore and will go home to accompany my aunt," Chun Jiao said with a smile.
In gratitude for the help provided by Chun Jiao, Li Zhiming felt that the only thing he could do for her was to rescue her from An Qi's clutches and offer her a job that was more suitable than cleaning the room every day
Xiao Ai was indeed sharp-eyed and clear-minded, seeing through Anqi's thoughts as if looking into a mirror.
However, given the current situation of not having a house or a car, it seems impossible
What do you mean by that? It is precisely because I am wearing this once that it should be taken seriously. Why should I wear clothes that have been worn by others many times? Is there still any joy in that? Can it still be unique?
Meng Chunjiao, could you please explain to me why you have not yet finished replacing this batch of tableware?
I apologize sincerely; I truly regret this matter. I did take over this task during the day, but later, due to other commitments, I completely forgot about it
However, less than half an hour later, Li Zhiming could no longer smile
Hehe, quite bold of you, I didn't misjudge you... Alright, since you have made up your mind, let's proceed as you said. I will notify the HR shortly, your front desk is in need of staff, so we will handle this matter promptly and through the fastest channel
"It's nothing..." Chun Jiao looked up and gave Li Zhiming a smile full of understanding, then turned around to get back to work
8
"Let's get to the point, no need to beat around the bush... In fact, I have been observing Meng Chunjiao's work capabilities during this period, and she is absolutely competent for the front desk position. I do not oppose your suggestion..." Sun Wen sat on the spacious leather sofa, picked up a teacup, and took a leisurely sip.
Thus, she quickly swallowed her words and secretly praised her own intelligence.
"I will arrange for someone to report to your office shortly." Angel glared at Li Zhiming.
Manager Li, I am very happy to help. However, before Li Zhiming could finish speaking, Anqi interrupted him, saying, "But, as you must have seen just now, our housekeeping department has a lot of work that is quite tedious. Where could we possibly spare any personnel for your department?"
It is normal; everyone exhibits such reactions when they feel threatened
Chun Jiao felt a sense of grievance, yet she did not express much. She believed that she needed to work a little harder in order to assist Li Zhiming
Come on, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so formal with me
Occasionally, as she strides confidently past the front desk, the sight of Chun Jiao, who is graciously attending to others, instantly floods her with a river of sorrow, her eyes shimmering with boundless regret, indeed, a mix of both regret and resentment
If Chun Jiao's educational qualifications were sufficient, with her abilities and cleverness, she could even replace An Qi in her position
What is there to be concerned about? Do not pay attention to those who gossip. No matter how you live your life, they will always have something to say. Hurry and get in the car, I have some good news to share with you
Before Angel could even ask, "Why do we have to cut half of our staff to work overtime?" she was interrupted by Li Zhiming
Later, Li Zhiming reached an agreement with Chun Jiao that if he felt drowsy, he would allow Chun Jiao to poke him with a compass
"Goodness, it seems you are truly foolish," Xiao Ai sighed deeply, "It is to make things difficult for Li Zhiming."
Thank you, Manager An. Li Zhiming smiled triumphantly at An Qi, throwing her a victorious grin. Although winning against this woman was not particularly something to be proud of, achieving a slight victory in their first direct confrontation was still a matter worth celebrating.
Xiao Ai got up, put on her clothes, and hurried to the resort. When she arrived, she found that not only Chun Jiao and Li Zhiming were there, but it was so serious that even Sun Wen had made an appearance. There was also a seemingly handsome and dashing gentleman, who was sitting in the lobby with a dark expression, as if he were ready to pounce and bite her.
However, with her own abilities and courage, she ascended to the position of Guest Room Manager in less than three years
Li Zhiming sank himself into the soft chair, and his meticulously styled hair was nearly being pulled out by himself.
Li Zhiming thought to himself that if the person looking at him was Xiao Fu, he would definitely pull her over and kiss her passionately, followed by a series of tumultuous encounters
