I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 74 Eavesdropping
"No, it's not about the company. I heard him talking about L County, Brother Long, and Lao Wu. Listening to them talk, I felt like they were the kind of spy meetings shown in TV dramas. Yun Kai, do you think my dad would do anything bad?" Ge Jiajia became more and more scared as she spoke, which was very different from her usual image as a proud and arrogant young lady.

After hearing what Ge Jiajia said, Jiang Yunkai felt something big was going on. He couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only make his own inferences based on Ge Jiajia's fragmentary observations. However, L County, Brother Long, and Lao Wu were likely the key figures.

After thinking for a moment, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Jia Jia, why did you eavesdrop on Uncle Ge's conversation? Did you listen by the door?"

"No, it's in the lounge next to my dad's office. Originally, only he could enter there, and I made a key for him when he wasn't paying attention. I can hear the voices talking in his office from there, but I can't hear them clearly." Ge Jiajia held up the key in her hand and showed it off to Jiang Yunkai.

Jiang Yunkai was delighted and tapped her nose and said, "You are just naughty!"

He rarely doted on her like this. Ge Jiajia was a little flattered for a moment. She went forward and hugged him, looking up and saying, "Yun Kai, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll treat you!"

Jiang Yunkai pretended to think for a moment and said, "I'll listen to you. We'll eat whatever you want. But I have some unfinished work, so can you wait for me for a while?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Once Ge Jiajia behaved well, you really couldn't tell that she was a willful and capricious young lady.

Jiang Yunkai returned to his desk to continue reading documents, while Ge Jiajia leaned on the sofa, mumbling to herself.

"L County, Brother Long, Lao Wu, what is my father going to do?" She still had doubts about what her father said. But she thought their words were strange and hurried out before she finished listening.

Seeing that Jiang Yunkai was busy, Ge Jiajia couldn't suppress her curiosity and pushed the door open again.

At the W Hotel, the afternoon exchange meeting ended. Han Qingyue saw Lu Siqing coming towards her as she left the conference room. He had been bored in the room and had gone downstairs before the meeting was over.

Because they were going back to Huangshan after the meeting the next day, Lu Siqing specially found a restaurant with Linshi characteristics to treat her to dinner.

After dinner, the two of them strolled side by side to the river.

At this time, Jiang Yunkai and Ge Jiajia had just come out of the restaurant, and he drove her home. During the meal, Ge Jiajia felt uneasy and told him what she heard in the lounge later.

Jiang Yunkai was even more certain that there was something fishy about the man named Song Yufei who had come to see Ge Jiancheng. After sending Ge Jiajia home, he used another phone to call a number...

That night, Han Qingyue was a bit sleepless. She had to admit, she still had a competitive streak. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so nervous thinking about the awards ceremony the next day. At this exchange meeting, several awards would be presented, including the Top Ten Hotels of the Year, the Most Popular Resort Hotel of the Year, and the Best Lifestyle Experience Hotel of the Year.

The phone beside her pillow vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Lu Siqing: "Qingyue, I believe Qingxin Hotel will definitely win the award. My sixth sense is very accurate."

Han Qingyue smiled. He was so considerate and knew what she was thinking. She replied, "Okay, I believe you. I'll borrow your good wishes. If I win the prize, I'll treat you to lobster!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Lu Siqing replied quickly.

After talking to Lu Siqing, Han Qingyue put her phone aside and continued to prepare for sleep.

Perhaps she was relaxed, and she fell asleep after a while. When she woke up, it was already past seven in the morning.

After they finished breakfast together, Han Qingyue went to the conference room, and Lu Siqing stood outside. He knew that there would be an award ceremony in the morning, and wanted to peek through the crack in the door to see Han Qingyue go up to the stage to receive the award.

At the meeting, Su Changshan was about to announce the list of the top ten hotels of the year. Listening to his voice echoing in the conference room, Han Qingyue felt both nervous and excited.

While Su Changshan was speaking, Han Qingyue's phone vibrated. She looked down and saw a message from Lu Siqing: "Qingyue, we agreed that if Qingxin wins the award, we have to celebrate." Han Qingyue didn't want to reply, but listened carefully to every word Su Changshan read. She counted in her mind as he read out the names of eight winning hotels, but hers wasn't on the list, and the ninth one wasn't either.

When she was feeling discouraged, the words "Qingxin Hotel" could be clearly heard in the venue.

"Congratulations to the above award-winning units. Please invite the representatives of the award-winning units to come on stage to receive the awards!"

Han Qingyue suppressed her pounding heart, slowly rose from her seat, and walked onto the stage. Su Changshan looked at her with a smile, motioning for her to come to him to receive the award.

This wasn't the first time the Qingxin Hotel had won an award, but it was the most exciting one for Han Qingyue. Not only was the "Top Ten Hotels of the Year" award the most prestigious in the industry, but the fact that the award was presented by her most respected uncle, Su, was enough to make her incredibly excited.

Receiving the trophy and certificate from Su Changshan, Han Qingyue felt like she was in a dream. Although this was the result she had longed for, she couldn't believe it. Had her Qingxin really won the award? This was the highest award in the hotel industry!

"Congratulations, Qingyue!" Su Changshan looked at Han Qingyue lovingly. He was happy and excited to be able to present the award to his niece in person.

"Thank you, Uncle Su!" Tears flashed in Han Qingyue's eyes.

Lu Siqing carefully opened the conference room door a crack and saw Han Qingyue accepting an award on the stage. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he simply slipped into the conference room and waved excitedly to Han Qingyue.

Han Qingyue was taking photos with Su Changshan and others on the stage and didn't notice him. Lu Siqing took out his phone and took a few photos of them from a distance. However, the protagonist of his photos was Han Qingyue.

After the morning awards ceremony, the exchange meeting also drew to a close. After the meeting, Han Qingyue and Su Changshan said goodbye before leaving. Su Changshan said he would be in Huangshan for a meeting soon and would visit her then.

Through this industry exchange meeting, Han Qingyue made many new friends and they added each other on WeChat.

In the evening, Han Qingyue and Lu Siqing rushed to the airport. After passing through security, Han Qingyue received a message from Jiang Yunkai. It only contained a few words: "Qingyue, safe journey!"

Han Qingyue smiled indifferently and did not reply.

Jiang Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief when Han Qingyue was leaving Lin City. He had been on edge the past two days since she'd been in Lin City, fearing Ge Jiajia might do something drastic.

On the plane, Lu Siqing told Han Qingyue what Jiang Yunkai had said when he came to see him. He didn't want to hide it from her, so he expressed his doubts: "Qingyue, I think Jiang Yunkai seems to have difficulties in being with his current girlfriend. Perhaps there is something inconvenient for him to tell others."

Han Qingyue turned her head and looked straight at him, sighing, "Lu Siqing, are you stupid? Why are you speaking for him?"

"I'm not helping him. I just think he still has feelings for you and is very worried about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me and said those words to me." Lu Siqing defended.

"I know he is worried about me, but maybe it's out of guilt. Ge Jiajia always targets me, and I have always suspected that the person who vandalized my car in the hotel parking lot was hired by her." Han Qingyue analyzed calmly.

"Maybe. But I'm still very grateful that he cares about you." Lu Siqing said generously.

"You... aren't jealous?" Han Qingyue teased him.
