I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 24 United as one
Han Qingyue was startled, wondering if there had been a thief in the house. After a brief pause, she quickly realized that the noise in the living room was most likely from Lu Siqing. When they had separated the day before, he had said he was coming to deliver a loving breakfast.

Walking into the living room, she saw a busy figure, which confirmed her suspicion. Lu Siqing was placing plates on the dining table.

"Mr. Lu, you really keep your word. Come and make breakfast for me!" Han Qingyue said with a smile, straightening the collar of her pajamas.

"Then, you must do what you say to President Han!" Lu Siqing pulled a chair for Han Qingyue and asked her to sit down. He put the prepared bacon sandwiches, fried eggs, and milk on the table one after another.

Han Qingyue took a bite and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lu Siqing, if you weren't the boss of a travel agency, I would definitely invite you to be the chef in our hotel. Everything you cook is delicious."

"It's not that everything I make tastes good, it's that everything I make for you tastes good. It's because I put my heart into it." Lu Siqing corrected with a smile.

"So corny! And you put so much effort into it!" Han Qingyue made a vomiting expression, then took a big bite of the sandwich.

As they were talking, Han Qingyue's phone rang. She picked it up and heard Liu Bowen's rapid, breathless voice on the other end: "Boss, did you see the news this morning?"

"News? I didn't read it. What's wrong?" Han Qingyue asked in surprise.

"Boss, there was a flood in W Village, and many affected villagers came here. Department L issued a call, hoping that all units and hotels could cooperate in the resettlement of the victims." Liu Bowen's voice trembled a little because of his anxiety.

Han Qingyue thought for a moment and realized the seriousness of the problem. "Notify the managers of each department to come to the conference room for a meeting at nine o'clock. I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" After hearing the boss' words, Liu Bowen seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and was no longer as anxious as before.

"Also, have the housekeeping department check how many rooms are available. Report to me at the meeting!"

"Yes, boss!"

Han Qingyue quickly hung up the phone, and the expression on her face became serious and solemn.

While Han Qingyue was talking to Liu Bowen, Lu Siqing had already read the news and understood the situation.

"Qingyue, judging from the news, this disaster is quite serious. I will go to the hotel with you. Please feel free to arrange if there is anything I can help with!" Lu Siqing was worried about Han Qingyue's health and looked anxious.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu!" Han Qingyue smiled gratefully, hurriedly finished a sandwich, and went back to her room to change clothes.

When the two returned to the hotel, managers from various departments were already waiting in the conference room. Liu Bowen saw her and hurriedly opened the door for her.

Lu Siqing went to the reception room next door to wait for her. He couldn't help but sigh that Han Qingyue was such a man at the critical moment, even her steps were so strong and powerful. If he hadn't followed closely along the way, he would have been left behind by her.

There was constant discussion in the conference room, but when Han Qingyue arrived, it quickly returned to silence.

"Weiguang, tell me first, how many guest rooms are vacant now?" In the conference room, Han Qingyue's voice was still clear and powerful.

"Mr. Han, I just had someone check. It's the peak season now, so there aren't many vacant rooms. However, a tour group will be able to check out tomorrow, so more than 30 rooms can be vacated," reported Liu Weiguang, the housekeeping manager.

"See if we can add extra beds. Also, we can make some partitions in the lobby on the first floor. Once the 30-plus guest rooms are vacant, we can let everyone move in." Han Qingyue made arrangements immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Han, I will go and make arrangements to see how many extra beds and partitions can be added at most." Liu Weiguang said.

"I'll contact Department L later to see how many affected villagers we need to relocate. Also, the catering department must be prepared to provide water and food to the incoming victims."

"Yes, Mr. Han!" responded Ma Zhiming, manager of the catering department.

"Boss Han, how much do we charge for the guest rooms we provide to the disaster victims?" Liu Weiguang asked after a moment's silence. "No charge, free! The water and food we provide to the disaster victims are also free!" Han Qingyue's words set off a flurry of discussion in the conference room.

"Mr. Han, it's the peak tourist season now. If we resettle the disaster victims, we'll lose a lot of business income."

"Mr. Han, if we set up partitions in the lobby, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among other guests."

"Yes, Mr. Han, this will definitely have an impact on the normal operation of the hotel, and the turnover will definitely decline."

……

Similar voices echoed in the conference room.

Han Qingyue remained silent, simply listening. How could she not have anticipated what they were saying? However, given the current disaster, even considering the hotel's interests, she couldn't ignore the affected people. Furthermore, Department L had already issued a call for hotels to accommodate the affected people.

After a brief discussion, everyone turned to look at Han Qingyue. Her expression remained unchanged by their objections; a firm and resolute light gleamed in her dark eyes. They assumed their boss had already made his decision.

Han Qingyue looked around the conference room and said firmly and resolutely, "What everyone just said makes sense. I don't deny that using a large number of guest rooms to accommodate disaster victims during the peak tourist season will indeed affect the hotel's profitability. However, if we don't provide them with a home, many people in the disaster area will be left without a place to stay. Therefore, I have decided to immediately apply to the L Department to serve as a resettlement hotel for the disaster victims. I hope that everyone in the hotel can unite and do a good job in resettling the affected people!"

There was a period of silence after Han Qingyue's speech, and Gao Liqiang, the engineering manager, broke the silence first.

"Boss Han, I agree with your decision. Our engineering department is ready to be deployed at any time!"

Gao Liqiang's magnetic male voice was still echoing in the conference room, and Han Qingyue's eyes were already wet.

Three years ago, when she was questioned and opposed, he was the first to stand up and support her. He also volunteered to follow her to Huangshan to be responsible for the construction of the branch. Now, although her status in the Qingxin Hotel is like a deity, at this moment, she still needs someone to stand with her.

"I also support President Han! Our catering department will provide the best catering services to the disaster-stricken people in accordance with President Han's requirements!" Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Ma Zhiming's voice.

Han Qingyue was very relieved. She could understand everyone's initial opposition, after all, they were all concerned about the hotel. She also understood everyone's current approval, because as Chinese people, everyone has a sense of responsibility in the face of sudden disasters.

"I also support President Han's decision."

"I also support President Han."

"Although I object, I listen to the boss!"

Suddenly such a special voice came out, and Han Qingyue couldn't help but look over. It was Liu Bowen sitting in a corner of the conference room.

She suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, it's decided. The hotel will set up a temporary working group. I will be the commander-in-chief, and the managers of each department will be team leaders. We will fully assist the L Department in relocating the affected people! I will not leave the office and will be here day and night. If you have any questions, please feel free to come to me!"

"Boss, you've been working overtime these few days and you've been very tired. You need to pay attention to rest!" Liu Bowen's voice was the first to be heard.

"Yes, Mr. Han, you can't work too hard, we are here for you!"

……

"Everyone, don't worry, I'll take care of myself! It's going to be a tough battle, I'll take care of myself, and you guys should take care of yourself too!"
