Song Pearl did not expect that after taking a nap, so many things would happen. Upon opening her phone, she was greeted with a series of calls.
“President Song, a goose from the back mountain injured a child's face. The family is very angry and demands compensation, and they want you to personally go over and apologize. You should come and take a look quickly!”
“General Manager, it's bad! A tourist has food poisoning and has been hospitalized. They are threatening to sue us; you need to think of a way out!”
“President Song, today Wu Jie took more than ten staff members from the Resort hotel to help set up the venue, but Hongqing's guests are arriving one after another, and now the hotel is short-staffed. Can you send some people over to help?”
“Where is Yuan Peng? Has he finished his vacation early or is he skipping work?” Song Pearl dialed Yuan Peng's number. These issues should have been reported to Yuan Peng first, and only when he couldn't resolve them would they reach Song Pearl.
Now, all the department managers were calling her, making Song Pearl suspect that Yuan Peng might be missing. Just as her finger was about to press Yuan Peng's number, his call came in.
“Hey, hey! President Song, I’ve caused trouble for our Resort. Just now two customers got into a fight, and while I was trying to break it up, I accidentally broke one customer's antique vase worth over three million... I can’t afford to pay for that even if I sell myself; what should I do?”
Are you kidding? The Resort has only been operating for two years, and its annual profit barely reaches Three Million, just enough to cover the cost of one vase.
Song Pearl couldn’t afford to complain about Yuan Peng. She quickly tidied up and left her house, hailing a taxi straight to the Resort.
The troublesome tourists were all there for the Hongqing Group annual meeting. On the way, Song Pearl called Hong Xinran. The phone rang for a long time without an answer; only after she hung up did the call come back.
“Pearl, I'm on a business trip out of town. What’s up?” Hong Xinran’s voice came through, with some noise in the background.
“Xinran, you always say that your company’s annual meeting is the most important thing. How come you're on a business trip at this time?”
“Haha, of course there are things more important than the company’s annual meeting!” Hong Xinran sounded in good spirits. “I don’t have time to talk right now; I’ll tell you when I get back. If everything goes smoothly, I should be back tomorrow night just in time for the annual dinner. As for the speeches and performances for the anniversary celebration and introducing new products to clients—don’t worry about those; that’s what General Manager Song is here for…”
Hong Xinran rambled on until she was interrupted by someone urging her to hurry up. She then asked Song Pearl, “Hey, why are you calling me? Did something happen? That Wu Yuqian doesn’t know anything; you need to be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong. Those clients are the lifeblood of Hongqing. If this goes well, it will be great publicity for your Resort! Remember!”
“It’s nothing major; it just felt strange not hearing from you these past couple of days. Anyway, get back to your work!”
“Hey, if something comes up, just call Qing Wenyu directly and let him handle it. If he doesn’t help, just let me know!”
"Okay, I understand."
Song Pearl hung up the phone, her brows slightly furrowed.
Just when the number of clients increased, Resort encountered so many issues. It could only mean that the management was lacking, and it should have nothing to do with Wu Yuqian.
What should she do at this moment?
Her hand unconsciously rubbed the green snake on her thumb. "Yao, are you still there?"
Although she had been awakened by a stubborn thought, she still hoped for the presence of Yao. Even if it proved that she was truly schizophrenic, she wouldn't care. Yao had helped her too much; whenever she faced problems, she would unconsciously consult it.
Unfortunately, that subconscious communication was gone. But when her hand touched Yao's eyes, Yao lifted its head and blinked.
"Yao!" Song Pearl smiled. Can't my smile control others? Were all those previous experiences just self-righteous illusions? But why did they always seem to solve many problems?
Could that mysterious stubbornness really be my guardian angel? Always helping me from the shadows? How could that be? It sounds even more absurd!
After arriving at Resort, Song Pearl didn't go to the hotel but headed straight to her residence at Ecological Aquaculture Farm. She suddenly realized that she had never asked for contact information from Wan; deep down, she had always regarded him as a child.
"Have you seen that very handsome young man?"
Upon returning to her residence and finding no trace of Wan, Song Pearl went to the fishing ticket booth to ask Liu Cuiying if she had seen him. However, when she reached the window, she discovered that the ticket booth had been taken over by two young girls who were now on duty.
From outside the window, the youthful girl with a delicate face and bangs was much more eye-catching than Liu Cuiying. There were also particularly many people at the ticket window today.
"I saw him." The staff at Resort all knew that their general manager had disappeared for an entire night with a handsome stranger because of a fish. Now that the two girls saw Song Pearl return, they eagerly smiled and said, "That very attractive guy drove over this afternoon and delivered a water tank to your residence. He gave us a key for you. If you come back, we'll give you the key; if not, we'll help feed the fish in your room. Then he left."
They secretly observed Song Pearl's expression.
If that tourist is President Song's boyfriend, then President Song is really lucky, a typical case of an old cow eating young grass. Although President Song is not very old, she still dresses in a way that seems quite outdated and lacks charm.
"Is he leaving soon? No farewell?" Song Pearl lowered her gaze and shook her head, regretting her hasty decision. Now the Resort is in chaos, and she came to find trouble!
"What happened to the people who used to work here?" Song Pearl asked.
"President Song, you don't know? Your mother has already been transferred..." a quick-talking girl with big eyes replied.
"Oh, I see. I just forgot for a moment." Song Pearl walked out of the ticket office, holding the key given to her by the attendant. Returning to her place, she saw the fish quietly lying in the water, which calmed her down a lot.
She bit her lip, took a deep breath, leaned over the tank, and smiled at the Pearl Fish in the water before standing up and heading straight to the Resort hotel.
I should resolve the issue with Three Million first! she thought.
At this moment, in an elegant tea house filled with fragrant tea, Wu Qiang sat across from Wan, with a chessboard placed between them.
"These days, there aren't many young people who can sit quietly and enjoy tea. Even fewer enjoy playing chess. Don't you feel a bit lonely?" Wu Qiang smiled at the young man across from him.
