I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 2 See you again

A few months later, the Huangshan branch of Qingxin Hotel opened, and Han Qingyue became the general manager. He will stay in Huangshan for a period of time to be responsible for the management of the hotel.

After get off work in the evening, Han Qingyue returned to her old house in Huangshan City. As soon as she entered the door, a strong smell of hot pot hit her face.

Han Qingyue knew without a doubt that it was her cousin who had come, otherwise who would eat hot pot with the air conditioner on in such hot weather?

"Qin Wendong, are you here?"

Han Qingyue always calls her cousin by his full name.

Han Qingyue walked in, dropping her bag on the sofa in the living room. Looking toward the dining room, as she expected, her cousin Qin Wendong was eating hot pot. But he wasn't alone; there was someone sitting across from him, his back to her. His figure looked familiar to Han Qingyue.

"Hey, you little girl, how did you know I was coming?" Qin Wendong stood up.

Han Qingyue said with a smile: “Except you, who else can eat hot pot at home!”

As the brother and sister were talking, the person sitting opposite Qin Wendong turned to look at Han Qingyue. Han Qingyue looked down and happened to meet his gaze. Those beautiful eyes made her lose her mind again.

"Hello, Han Qingyue, long time no see!" The man stood up and greeted Han Qingyue.

Han Qingyue was stunned. The man she had met once in the mountains that day actually showed up at her house! What was going on? She looked at her cousin.

Seeing her bewildered look, Qin Wendong pulled her to sit next to him and casually introduced her, "You forgot, this is Lu Siqing, my best friend. He's been in Shanghai for the past few years and just returned to Beijing a few days ago. He heard I was going to Huangshan, so he followed me here and even went hiking this morning. He's a mountaineering enthusiast and is determined to travel all over the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland!"

Han Qingyue had some recollection of Lu Siqing's name. When she was little, whenever her cousin came to play, he'd usually bring him along. But after not seeing him for so many years, he'd changed, and Han Qingyue couldn't recognize him. Over the years, Qin Wendong had been surrounded by a constant stream of women, but his friends had remained constant. Even though they were separated by thousands of miles, their friendship remained the same.

Han Qingyue smiled at Lu Siqing and greeted him.

Lu Siqing smiled back, his handsome face and a pair of light brown eyes revealing an intoxicating tenderness, but his tone could not hide his surprise: "I never thought that the beautiful woman I saw on the mountain that day was actually you!"

"Why, have you met Xiaoyue before?" Qin Wendong asked.

Lu Siqing briefly recounted his encounter with Han Qingyue, and mentioned the praise Han Qingyue received from fans in the livestream. Qin Wendong secretly sighed that his buddy and his sister were truly destined to be together.

"Xiao Yue, your brother Siqing came back to Huangshan with me this time not just to enjoy the scenery, he came to do business. You must thank him very much!" Qin Wendong looked at Han Qingyue and then at Lu Siqing with a meaningful look.

"Delivering business?" Han Qingyue was confused by what he said.

"I can't explain it clearly. Let him tell you himself." Qin Wendong made a look at Lu Siqing.

Lu Siqing understood, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously, "Qingyue, I own a travel agency. We regularly have tour groups coming to Huangshan, and we'd like to book a hotel. We also plan to have long-term cooperation with the hotel. We didn't have a fixed partner hotel before, and it was a bit troublesome to change hotels frequently. I heard from Wendong that your Qingxin Hotel has built a branch in Huangshan, and the environment is not bad, so I wanted to talk to you. I wonder if your hotel can cooperate? I just didn't expect that we met on the mountain that day."

Long-term cooperation! These words were full of temptation to Han Qingyue, but even though there were thousands of happy notes jumping in her heart, only a few words flowed out of her mouth: "I think it should be possible!"

"That's great. I'll ask my secretary to give you the specific plan tomorrow." Lu Siqing said with a smile.

Han Qingyue went to the living room to get a business card and respectfully handed it to Lu Siqing. It had her phone number, email address, and WeChat ID on it. Lu Siqing raised his lips slightly, and his eyes involuntarily lingered on Han Qingyue's WeChat ID.

At this moment, Lu Siqing instantly became taller in Han Qingyue's heart. Customers are God. The person sitting in front of her is not just her cousin's friend, a handsome man, but a big customer who brings considerable income to the hotel.

"Mr. Lu, I'll toast you a glass!" Han Qingyue picked up her cousin's wine glass casually, a smile in her eyes.

"Silly sister, we're at home now. Why call me Mr. Lu? Just call me Brother Siqing!" Qin Wendong said helpfully. Before Han Qingyue returned home, Qin Wendong had introduced her to Lu Siqing and praised her appearance lavishly. Looking at this bright and beautiful face, Lu Siqing was momentarily dazed. Qin Wendong was right. Han Qingyue had enough to make a man fall in love with her, especially the scholarly air between her eyebrows, which made people forget worldly things. But to his disappointment, he could see no other emotions in Han Qingyue's eyes except excitement and gratitude.

Over the years, how many girls have wanted to throw themselves at her when they saw her, but such a man couldn't even make her heart flutter! With a hint of frustration, Lu Siqing raised his glass, smiled at Han Qingyue, and drank it all in one gulp.

The three of them ate and talked. After dinner, Qin Wendong and Lu Siqing went out for something. Han Qingyue sent them to the door and watched their car leave before returning to the house.

The next day, Lu Siqing's secretary indeed sent over the cooperation proposal. Soon after, Lu Siqing sent someone to the hotel, and after a tour, they signed the cooperation agreement. Lu Siqing was the general manager of the company, so booking a partner hotel wasn't something he needed to personally oversee. For a moment, Han Qingyue felt a little touched, but that was all.

After a simple breakfast, Han Qingyue put on some light makeup and went to the conference room for a meeting. After the meeting, she made her usual rounds of inspections of the various departments.

Catering manager Ma Zhiming, executive chef Zhu Tianyu, catering director Su Anna, and banquet foreman Lin Wenbin were discussing something. When they saw Han Qingyue coming, they all came forward to greet her.

"Morning, President Han!"

"Good morning!" Han Qingyue smiled back. "Are there any special guests today?"

According to convention, when these people from the catering department get together, it is usually because of some important banquet.

"Yes, Mr. Han, there is a tour group from Beijing having a buffet dinner at noon today. The person in charge of the tour group said that we must have Huangshan's specialty dishes." Ma Zhiming answered respectfully.

"Which travel agency does the tour group from Beijing belong to?" Han Qingyue asked. At this moment, she thought of Lu Siqing's travel agency.

"It's Siqing Travel Agency. I heard that this time there is a large group of fifty people coming." Zhu Tianyu was very excited.

"This is the first group we've taken on, so don't make any mistakes!" Han Qingyue warned.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, there will be no problem!" Ma Zhiming promised.

Han Qingyue smiled and said nothing more. Back in the office, she continued reviewing documents and looking at financial statements. The morning passed quickly, and it wasn't until her stomach growled that she realized it was already noon.

Secretary Liu Bowen walked in and asked with a smile, "Boss, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll have someone make it."

Han Qingyue stretched her waist and smiled at him, "Let's have some rice noodles."

"Boss, are you sure you want to eat such a light meal?" Liu Bowen asked her for confirmation.

Han Qingyue pointed to the spot where her tooth was and made a pained expression. Perhaps because she had been too busy these days and worried about the performance of the new store, a decayed tooth she hadn't had time to repair was aching slightly.

"Boss, do you have a toothache?" Liu Bowen finally had the opportunity to care about the goddess and hurried forward.

"It's nothing, just a little uncomfortable." Han Qingyue said.

"Don't worry, Boss. I'll prepare some rice noodles for you right away, and some teriyaki tofu."

Han Qingyue nodded. Her male secretary was really considerate.

While Liu Bowen was preparing lunch, Han Qingyue decided to go to the backyard to take in the mountain view. She took the elevator directly to the lobby and was about to leave when a tall, straight figure talking to someone in the middle of the lobby caught her eye.
