I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 13 Children in the Mountains

The mall was not far from the hotel. After Han Qingyue and Lu Siqing bought the gifts, they returned to the hotel in just over ten minutes. A business car reserved for the hotel's VIPs was parked at the door, and several girls with simple clothes and slightly dark skin got out of the car one after another.

Han Qingyue had seen Chen Yanyan's photo and immediately recognized her as the last girl to get off the bus. She took a few quick steps, waving to them as she went.

"You're Sister Qingyue? You're not a big star, are you?" Chen Yanyan was surprised and delighted. She had seen Han Qingyue's photos, but she didn't expect that she was even prettier in person, like a star on TV. No, in her opinion, Han Qingyue was prettier than a star!
"Haha, I'm your sister Qingyue, but I'm not a big star. You must be starving, right? Let's go eat first, and then take a rest. I'll have a little brother take you around. Tomorrow morning, let's go climb Mount Huangshan together!"

As they were talking, the waiter at the door had already taken the children's luggage. Han Qingyue took Chen Yanyan and a girl next to her hands and walked in together.

Lu Siqing followed behind them, carrying several large bags of things, like a little follower.

"Sister, you're beautiful!"

"Yes, sister, your skin is so white."

"Sister, you have such big eyes."

……

Several children were talking to each other. Han Qingyue thought that children from the mountains would be shy, but she didn't expect them to be so lively and talkative.

The next morning, Han Qingyue and Lu Siqing accompanied the children to climb the mountain.

Chen Yanyan and several classmates spent a few days in Huangshan. Before leaving, Han Qingyue treated them to a meal at a Chinese restaurant. The children were so sad to see her leave that they almost made Han Qingyue cry.

"Sister Qingyue, we will all study hard. When we graduate, if you need us, we will all come to work at Qingxin Hotel." Chen Yanyan took the lead and the other children echoed.

"Whatever you want to do after graduation, just follow your heart. However, if you really want to come to work in the hotel, I welcome you!" Han Qingyue comforted with a smile.

After a few days of interacting with her, the children developed a fondness and admiration for Han Qingyue, viewing her as a spiritual idol. After dinner, they asked for her autograph before reluctantly getting on the bus. School was about to start, and they all had to go back to prepare.

After sending the children into the car, Han Qingyue walked towards the hotel, and Lu Siqing followed behind her.

"Qingyue, why don't we ask the media to report what happened in the past two days? It will be good for the hotel's image." Lu Siqing suggested.

"No need, I just want to do something for the children. If I ask the media, it will go against my original intention." Han Qingyue said without thinking.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lu Siqing fully supports Han Qingyue and Qingxin Hotel's charitable efforts. He also plans to join the effort, helping more children from mountainous areas realize their college dreams. Looking at Lu Siqing, Han Qingyue smiled with satisfaction. He had spent the past few days accompanying the children to explore Huangshan and enjoy Anhui cuisine, tirelessly and patiently. It was clear that beneath his unruly exterior, he had a heart of gold, and to her, that was more precious than anything else.

She knew she could use this opportunity to promote the Qingxin Hotel, but she didn't want that. She wasn't sponsoring Chen Yanyan and her classmates for show, nor for the sake of the hotel, but out of a genuine desire to help them. If she could, she wanted to sponsor more children, allowing them to learn, attend university, and move beyond the mountains to contribute to their development.

For several days after the children left, Han Qingyue was busy with company matters. It wasn't until she received a call from the secretary of a city office leader, saying that the leader wanted to meet with her, that she realized she had become a Huangshan celebrity.

Chen Yanyan had written an article and published it online, describing Han Qingyue's support over the years and including photos taken at the Qingxin Hotel. Her words were filled with moving gratitude for Han Qingyue. The article went viral online, causing a stir, attracting government attention, and making headlines.

While Han Qingyue's support for the children in the mountains was a personal act, as the owner of the Qingxin Hotel, she represented the hotel's image and inadvertently brought positive publicity to the hotel. Since then, many government agencies have extended olive branches to Qingxin. In addition to collaborating with travel agencies, the Qingxin Hotel has also begun to undertake conference services for some government departments.

After Lu Siqing returned to Beijing, he visited Huangshan again. Siqing Travel Agency, in partnership with the Qingxin Hotel and the local tourism authorities, will host a "Meet Huangshan" cultural tourism week and a large-scale livestream event on Huangshan. The event's opening ceremony will be held at the Qingxin Hotel.

Lu Siqing invited Han Qingyue to host the event. The offer was tempting, but she hadn't hosted an event in years since graduating from university, and she worried she wouldn't be up to the task. After some hesitation, she accepted Lu Siqing's offer.

As soon as Han Qingyue decided to accept the invitation, she told her cousin Qin Wendong the news. Han Qingyue and her cousin grew up together, and she liked to talk to him about any difficulties or worries.

"Go ahead, Xiaoyue! I support you! You are definitely the brightest, most beautiful and most talented host." Qin Wendong did not hesitate to praise him.

"Brother, how about you come to the event too? You can just watch me from the audience. I haven't been a host in so long, I'm feeling uneasy." The only person Han Qingyue could freely show her vulnerable side to was Qin Wendong. In front of her father and mother, she was afraid they'd worry, so she always acted strong, as if nothing could faze her.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go. I'll ask Lu Siqing to arrange a good seat for me so you can see me at a glance. By the way, I have a good friend who is a makeup artist. I'll take him with me and let him do your makeup. My sister is already beautiful, and after he does her makeup, she will definitely stun everyone!" Qin Wendong encouraged.

Hearing her cousin's words, Han Qingyue felt reassured. She only needed to prepare the hosting script, and the rest depended on her improvisation.

A few days later, the opening ceremony of the "Meet Huangshan" Cultural Tourism Week took place as scheduled in the Qingxin Hotel's banquet hall. Lighting, sound systems, cameras, promotional videos, and more were all in place, and reporters from major media outlets stationed in Huangshan, as well as local media, were already in attendance, creating a bustling atmosphere.

After makeup artist Xiao Fei finished applying makeup to Han Qingyue, she urged, "Qingyue, I picked out a dress for you, go change into it!"

"I still have to wear a dress?" Han Qingyue asked in surprise.

"Of course, you must be the most beautiful today!" Xiao Fei said as he pushed her into the suite.

Han Qingyue was pushed in and resisted, "I chose a dress that I thought was suitable. I didn't think it would be so formal!"
