I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 22 I Want You to Accompany Me
The signing ceremony went smoothly. After the ceremony, Peng Ruilin returned to the filming site of his new drama. After saying goodbye to Han Qingyue and the others, he hurried to the airport.

Later, as a tourism ambassador, Peng Ruilin will participate in the filming of a promotional video with Han Qingyue, promoting both Huangshan tourism and the Qingxin Hotel. Han Qingyue's decision to participate was a carefully considered one, as it would promote her hotel while also saving money on hiring an actress – killing two birds with one stone.

The celebration banquet at noon was held in the hotel's western restaurant, in the form of a buffet. From time to time, people came over to greet Han Qingyue. Lu Siqing didn't want to disturb her, so he found a seat and sat down to eat.

Seeing Han Qingyue chatting and laughing freely with the guests attending the signing ceremony, Lu Siqing felt both admiration and pride. He thought, if a girl as outstanding as Han Qingyue were his girlfriend, how happy he would be!
After being busy all morning, Han Qingyue was hungry. After everyone around her had left, she picked some food and walked towards Lu Siqing.

Lu Siqing was secretly delighted. It turned out that she had been paying attention to him. Otherwise, why would she see him at the first sight in such a large western-style restaurant?

After Han Qingyue sat down, he attentively pushed the food he had prepared in front of her.

Han Qingyue took a look and found that the cheese baked lobster, pan-fried red wine lamb chops, and matcha cake were all her favorites.

"Mr. Han, I have a request, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Seeing that Han Qingyue was in a good mood, Lu Siqing asked tentatively.

Han Qingyue had just put a piece of lamb chop into her mouth when she heard him ask and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll listen while I eat."

"Mr. Han, can you accompany me this afternoon?" Lu Siqing looked pitiful.

Han Qingyue couldn't help but complain in her heart. When a man acted like a spoiled child, he was really lethal, especially a man with such a handsome face and a cool and cool demeanor. After thinking about it, she decided to tease him.

"How do you need me to accompany you? There are plenty of rooms in the hotel, or should we go somewhere else?" She smiled at him and said in a very charming tone.

"Mr. Han, why are you so..." Lu Siqing couldn't believe that these were Han Qingyue's words, they were too straightforward.

"What? Are you scared?" Han Qingyue rolled her eyes at him with a look of disdain.

Lu Siqing glared at her with gritted teeth, "Han Qingyue, you asked for this!"

Han Qingyue smiled faintly, ate a piece of lamb chop and a few pieces of lobster, and then went back to chatting with the familiar guests.

After seeing off the last wave of guests, Han Qingyue was dragged out of the western restaurant by Lu Siqing before she could react. The speed was so fast that she almost tripped over her skirt.

Next to the fountain at the entrance of the hotel, the afternoon sun shines on the two of them, casting bright colors, warm and cozy.

"Lu Siqing, are you crazy? Why did you drag me out?" Han Qingyue's wrist was a little painful because of his twisting, and her tone became impatient.

"You just promised me that you would accompany me. You won't go back on your word, right?" Lu Siqing let go of her hand and stared into her eyes.

"No, since I've already agreed, why would I go back on my word? However, even though I agreed, my fist doesn't seem to agree."

Han Qingyue instantly swung a punch at Lu Siqing. Lu Siqing was caught off guard and closed his eyes nervously. He thought he would be beaten into a black eye, but Han Qingyue stopped. When Lu Siqing opened his eyes, he saw Han Qingyue striding towards the hotel.

"Have you forgotten? I started learning Wing Chun at the age of twelve, and won the provincial championship at the age of nineteen!"

Han Qingyue's voice echoed in the square, making Lu Siqing tremble with fear. He secretly blamed Qin Wendong for never mentioning such important information before!
He thought to himself that it would not be easy to catch up with Han Qingyue, and he might even get hurt!
Summer vacation is coming, and in the following days, the hotel staff will work overtime almost every night. Han Qingyue leads by example and is the last one to leave the hotel every night.

That day, Secretary Liu Bowen knocked on the office door and walked into the office, handing Han Qingyue a brochure. The brochure contained the Qingxin Hotel's summer promotional plan. With the summer break approaching for universities, colleges, and elementary schools, major hotels were vying for market opportunities, hoping to profit handsomely during this peak season.

"The new dishes launched by the catering department this time look good, but their features are not prominent enough. I will make a decision after trying the dishes tonight." Han Qingyue handed the document in her hand to Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen nodded and suggested, "Boss, do you want to ask Mr. Lu to come along?"

Han Qingyue took a sip of tea and hesitated for a moment. "Oh, you should invite him. I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. This man is quite knowledgeable about food, a real foodie!"

Liu Bowen thought, Boss, aren't you a foodie too? However, he didn't dare say it out loud.

He observed Han Qingyue's expression and found that her originally serious face softened a lot when Lu Siqing was mentioned. After thinking for a while, he continued, "I didn't expect that President Lu likes food and has such a good figure."

Han Qingyue leaned back in the chair without saying a word, turned to the glass window, looked at Huangshan Mountain in the distance, and tapped the armrest with her index finger from time to time.

In the huge office, there was no other sound except the irregular knocking sounds.

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, Liu Bowen walked out.

Outside the door, someone brought in more materials.

"Secretary Liu, I've been working overtime for four days straight!" A female employee stopped Liu Bowen and complained softly, "I get home at eight or nine every day. If this keeps up, my boyfriend will break up with me!"

A male employee nearby chimed in, "Exactly. No wonder I'm still single in my late 40s! What girl would want to marry a man who's busy working all day?"

"Stop making excuses for yourselves." Liu Bowen poked the male employee on the shoulder. "Our boss works so hard, doesn't he have a lot of admirers? If you can't find a girlfriend, you should look for the reasons within yourself. Is it a psychological or physiological problem?"

Liu Bowen's words actually made the male employee laugh, his ears blushing. He then continued, "There's nothing wrong with me mentally or physically! But how can I compare to our CEO Han? CEO Han is beautiful and rich, any man would want to throw himself at her. I'm different. If I don't take the initiative and pursue her relentlessly, who would be interested in me? So, I need time."

Liu Bowen couldn't help laughing and said, "You need some time, right? Okay, just resign."

"Liu Bowen, that's not what I meant! I can't bear to leave the hotel, and I can't bear to leave our President Han!"

The female employee didn't forget to add insult to injury and jokingly said, "You can't bear to part with President Han? You talk as if there's something between you and President Han!"

"You..." The male employee was at a loss for words and pointed at her but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, stop complaining! Look, isn't the boss the last one to leave every day? After you're done with this busy period, you can go on dates and do whatever you want! Now, just focus on your work!" Liu Bowen said.

Han Qingyue was young, ambitious, decisive, and kind to her subordinates. Perhaps the only thing her employees complained about was the overtime during peak tourist season. This was the hotel's busiest time of year, with a constant stream of reports and reports arriving at the general manager's office. Han Qingyue personally monitored the progress of every department.

After working overtime for many days, Lu Siqing was afraid that Han Qingyue was too tired, so one day, he forced her to go camping in the mountains to relax for two days.

The next morning, a call from Security Manager Xue Zhichao disrupted Han Qingyue's vacation plans.
