Chapter 703 Go to a windy place
In 2020, in a small, closed-off office at a five-star hotel in Beijing, several housekeeping department leaders held a morning meeting. The housekeeping director said, "Everyone, cheer up today. Our hotel is going to host an important guest."

"Director, who is this guest? Why did our Hotel Nikko make such a big fuss?" Female colleague A was very proud of being an employee of a top five-star hotel, so she asked in confusion.

"Suning of Ningyuan Group."

"What? It's Suning, the guy that Jack Ma calls "Big Brother" whenever he sees him?" The already small office immediately became noisy, and everyone couldn't help but get excited.

"Yes! There is only one Suning in the whole of China." The director explained again with a wry smile.

"Oh my God! It is said that Ningyuan Group's annual revenue is almost more than half of South Korea's GDP. I wonder if this is true?" Another colleague said with emotion.

"Okay! This is not something we should worry about. We must do a good job of reception." The director quickly stopped the shock of his colleagues.

"That's not right! Director, Ningyuan has its own hotel brand, why would he choose to stay in our hotel?" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but express her doubts.

"This... might be a visit to our hotel. Our major shareholder flew here from Tokyo just to personally receive Suning." The director didn't know the specific situation, so he could only guess as best he could.

After all, it was just a small department meeting before work, so everyone soon dispersed. However, everyone was still excited. Female colleague A suddenly approached Xu Hongdou and whispered with a smile, "Hongdou, I heard that Su Ning is only 40 years old this year and has never been married. He is a true bachelor!"

"Haha, Sister Zhang, you're not feeling amorous again, are you? That depends on whether your brother-in-law agrees or not." Xu Hongdou said jokingly to the female colleague next to her.

"You silly girl! What are you talking about? I'm telling you to seize the opportunity. You're so pretty, you'll definitely have a chance in front of Suning."

"Sister Zhang, I'm not that kind of woman. Besides, I have no interest in this kind of mysterious man." Xu Hongdou shook her head disapprovingly.

"Yes! This Suning is indeed very mysterious. There are no photos of him on the Internet, and most of the information about him is specious. This person is indeed very mysterious." Hearing Xu Hongdou's disapproving thoughts, female colleague A at the side also felt a little emotional.

"So! Sister Zhang, I don't want to explore this kind of mysterious man." Xu Hongdou is a stubborn woman at heart.

It was not only the housekeeping department that received such explosive news today, but also other departments in the entire five-star hotel. Everyone was curious and looking forward to the mysterious boss who was about to appear. Every employee had a smile from the heart on his face, which also made other guests of the hotel feel the most sincere service.

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Fujiwara Kurasuke, the major shareholder of this five-star hotel, also stood at the door of the hotel, looking at the famous watch on his hand with a nervous look on his face. Soon, a luxurious Hongqi bulletproof car appeared at the door of the hotel. Fujiwara Kurasuke hurriedly trotted up and opened the car door with a smile.

"Mr. Su, welcome to our Hotel Nikko." Fujiwara Kurasuke bowed politely.

"Little Fujiwara? Why are you in the capital?" Suning looked at the acquaintance in front of him with some surprise.

"Mr. Su, when my father heard that you were going to stay in our ANA Hotel, he was going to come to Beijing to receive you in person. However, he just had a minor operation not long ago, so he asked me to come and receive you. I hope you don't mind!" Fujiwara Kurasuke explained with a smile.

"Little Fujiwara, you and your father are so polite. It seems that I need to pay a special visit to your father next time I go to Tokyo."

"Hi! The Fujiwara family in Tokyo welcomes Mr. Su?" Fujiwara Kurasuke bowed excitedly again to express his gratitude.

Soon, Suning was surrounded by a group of senior executives of the Japan Airlines Hotel and entered the elevator. Then he came to the top executive suite he had booked. At the moment the elevator door closed, Suning seemed to see a familiar figure.

After arriving at his room, Su Ning asked Fujiwara Kurasuke, who had come with him, in confusion, "Little Fujiwara, does your hotel have a lobby manager named Xu Hongdou?"

"Uh? Mr. Su, please allow me to ask the general manager first." Fujiwara Kurasuke was a little surprised by Su Ning's question, and then asked the general manager of the Nikko Hotel next to him, "Mr. Sun, does our hotel have this Xu Hongdou?"

"Mr. Fujiwara, Mr. Su, our hotel does have a lobby manager named Xu Hongdou." The general manager of the hotel quickly replied with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Sun, can you arrange for Manager Xu Hongdou to serve me?" Su Ning looked at the general manager in front of him and asked, suppressing his surprise.

"Sure! No problem at all."

The reason why he stayed at the Nikko Hotel in Beijing this time was because his Ningyuan Hotel had reached a bottleneck in expansion. If he wanted to achieve a stable breakthrough in a short period of time, he needed to acquire a hotel of the same type that could complement each other. That was why Suning intended to come for inspection this time. The major shareholder of the Nikko Hotel also saw this and treated him so attentively.

Thinking about my experiences over the past twenty years, watching the people around me grow old one by one, and my close friends step by step into the abyss, while I was powerless to stop them, it was really painful and torturous, so this time I also wanted to relax and heal a little.

The lobby manager Xu Hongdou, who was notified soon, came to Su Ning's room. With a smile on her face, but actually confused, she looked at Su Ning in front of her and said, "Mr. Su, it's a pleasure to serve you."

"Manager Xu, I may have to trouble you in the next few days."

"Mr. Su, it is our honor to serve you. It is not a big deal."

Suddenly seeing Xu Hongdou in front of him, Suning's depressed mood was somewhat relieved. Thinking of the few plots in "Where the Wind Is", Suning felt that the next story must be very interesting.

"Jingle Bell!"

Su Ning picked up his Ningyuan phone and saw that the number displayed on the screen was his cousin Wu Ting's. He then answered the call directly with a smile, "Hello! Sister."

"Suning, have you arrived in Beijing?" The voice of my cousin Wu Ting came from the phone.

"I'm here! I'm personally greeted by Fujiwara Kurasuke, the major shareholder of Hotel Nikko."

"Oh? The reception standard is quite high!" Wu Ting on the other end of the phone was also a little surprised.

"Haha, sister, as the saying goes, if you show courtesy to a scholar, you must ask for favors from him. It seems that Hotel Nikko is really getting angry."

"Well, that's for sure! This epidemic has affected a wide range of people. Fortunately, Ningyuan has already established a presence in the medical and biological industry." When Suning and Wu Ting talked about this, Wu Ting seemed particularly proud. Then, she asked Suning doubtfully, "Are you really sure you want to acquire Nikko Hotels?"

"Not yet! I want to continue watching."

"Suning, I'll take care of the Ningyuan Group headquarters. You can just go and inspect in Beijing." Wu Tingting also knew how hard Suning had worked in recent years, and then she smiled and instructed Suning.

"By the way! How's Xiaochen doing lately? Did he say when he'll be back?"

"No! Ever since he became a British citizen, he has completely forgotten about me as his mother." Then Wu Ting's bitter smile came from the phone.

"Haha, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother! You'd better be more open-minded."

"Aning, your nephew already has a girlfriend. When will you bring a girl back home?" After hearing about her son Lin Xiaochen, Wu Ting started nagging at Su Ning again.

"Sister, you are here again! Are you annoying or not?" Su Ning suddenly felt as if his head was as big as a bucket.

"Hey! Every time I talk about you, you get anxious! Don't ever say that you are still thinking about Fang Ning?" Wu Ting seemed very depressed at this time. Her cousin was very successful in his career, but he just didn't like to talk about personal issues.

"Okay! Sister, I have something to do here! I'll hang up first." Hearing that his cousin was about to start chanting like Tang Monk again, Su Ning quickly and proactively hung up the phone.

My journey of more than 20 years has been full of blood and tears. I have come to where I am today step by step with great difficulty. It is really not easy at all. However, while gaining certain things, I have also helplessly lost a lot of things. For example, the love that I most desired this time has become my biggest luxury.

Opening the hotel curtains and looking out at the lights of Beijing, Suning was stunned for a moment. This country truly fascinated him, and he loved this land all the time. "Knock, knock, knock!"

A slight knock on the door woke Su Ning up, and then he saw Xu Hongdou and a chef pushing a dining cart into the room. She looked at Su Ning with a smile and said, "Mr. Su, this is the Romante Conti and dinner you ordered."

"Well, thank you for your help, Miss Xu." Su Ning nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Su, this is what our hotel should do, and I'll be waiting outside the door. Call me if you have any instructions." At this time, Xu Hongdou still had a polite service attitude, and it was obvious that she was keeping a safe distance from Suning.

"Manager Xu, can you sit down and have a drink with me?" At this time, Suning took the initiative to invite Xu Hongdou.

"Ah? Sorry! Mr. Su, we are not allowed to drink alcohol while we are at work." Xu Hongdou was obviously a little stunned at this time, and then she refused directly without hesitation.

"It's okay! If your general manager reprimands you, just tell him to come to me."

"Well." Hearing Suning's cordial invitation, Xu Hongdou felt a little disappointed.

"Haha, Manager Xu, even if you don't drink with me, you can serve me better by standing next to me, right?" Seeing Xu Hongdou hesitating again and again, Suning, who was insightful, gave the other party a way out.

"Mr. Su, then I'll stay." After all, Suning was a distinguished guest of their JAL Hotel, so Xu Hongdou finally agreed reluctantly.

Then Su Ning directly took out two high-heeled glasses and poured two glasses of red wine into each. He picked up one and handed it to the bewildered Xu Hongdou, "Manager Xu, please don't misunderstand! It's just that after seeing you today, I suddenly remembered an old friend."

"An old friend of Mr. Su?" Xu Hongdou took the wine glass and looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Yes! That happened a long time ago. It feels like something from another world." Su Ning's voice was full of vicissitudes and seemed particularly penetrating. Xu Hongdou, who was holding a glass of red wine beside him, couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Mr. Su, I really like your company's QQ and WeChat. I often visit your treasure pavilion, and occasionally play Ningyuan games to relax in my spare time." Xu Hongdou quickly regained the ethics of a professional woman, raised her glass and looked at Su Ning with admiration and a smile on her face.

"Haha, it seems that our product positioning is very good."

"Mr. Su, I'd like to toast you and thank you for bringing us so many good products." At this time, Xu Hongdou raised the glass in her hand and said with a smile.

"Cheers!" Suning smiled and gently clinked his wine glass with Xu Hongdou's. Suddenly, he felt an illusion of traveling through time and space.

After that, Xu Hongdou no longer rejected Suning and no longer treated Suning as just a guest. Instead, she slowly opened her heart under Suning's intentional guidance. Suning had experienced too many worlds and stories and could easily deal with the stubborn girl in front of him.

However, Suning did not do anything excessive. He just drank red wine and chatted with Xu Hongdou in front of him. After drinking a bottle of top-quality Romande-Conti, Suning and Xu Hongdou could be considered friends.

"Hongdou, are you working the middle shift today?" Suning looked at the slightly tipsy girl in front of him with some confusion.

"Yes! We'll get off work at twelve o'clock in the morning." Xu Hongdou nodded and responded with a smile.

"How about when you get off work later, I'll ask the driver to drive you?"

"No need! I can just call a ride." Xu Hongdou was a little drunk at this time, but she still rejected Suning very soberly.

"Hongdou, I'll take you there. I don't have anything else to do anyway."

"This" the slightly tipsy Xu Hongdou seemed very conflicted.

"Hongdou, please don't refuse me again. I'm just driving you home."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Su."

"Haha, why are you still calling me Mr. Su? Just call me by my name, Suning."

"Ah? That won't do! If Mr. Sun and Mr. Fujiwara find out, they will definitely scold me." After hearing Su Ning's correction, the slightly drunk Xu Hongdou sobered up.

"Haha, it's okay! Don't take them too seriously."

Although Su Ning repeatedly asked Xu Hongdou to call him by his name, Xu Hongdou still called him Mr. Su, obviously keeping a clear distance from him. This just shows that Xu Hongdou is a good girl. If it were someone else, they would have taken the initiative to call him brother or dad long ago.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, it was time for Xu Hongdou to get off work. Suning arranged for a driver to take himself and Xu Hongdou to Xu Hongdou's home. Along the way, Suning felt that Xu Hongdou was a little uneasy, and then he smiled silently.

Suning's Hongqi L5 bulletproof car was obtained through his best friend Long Wei, so it is much more stylish than Ningyuan's electric car. Then he quickly brought Suning and Xu Hongdou to their destination.

At this moment, Xu Hongdou looked at Su Ning with an apologetic smile and said, "Mr. Su, it's too late today, so I won't invite you upstairs to sit down."

"Miss Xu, I will definitely visit you someday if I have the chance."

"Haha, Mr. Su, then we have a deal."

"Ms. Xu, I forgot to save your number just now. Would you mind exchanging numbers with me?"

"Huh? Okay!" Surprised, Xu Hongdou quickly took out her cell phone.

After Suning and Xu Hongdou exchanged their phone numbers and added each other on WeChat, Xu Hongdou got out of Suning's Hongqi L5. Seeing the familiar figure standing at the entrance of the community and realizing that Suning did not continue to pester her, Xu Hongdou was obviously relieved.

Suning also noticed another beautiful figure at the entrance of the community, and knew that she was Xu Hongdou's good friend Chen Nanxing. He felt a little sad when he thought that Chen Nanxing's life was about to enter the countdown. Then he signaled his driver to drive away with emotion.

When Suning's Hongqi L5 bulletproof car left the residential complex, Chen Nanxing looked at her best friend Xu Hongdou in surprise, "Hongdou, is there something wrong with you?"

"What?! He was a guest staying in our hotel and he insisted on sending me home. That's why I texted you to ask you to come downstairs to pick me up." Xu Hongdou explained quickly with a red face.

"Hongdou, did you drink tonight?" Smelling the faint smell of alcohol on Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing looked at Xu Hongdou in surprise again.

"Hey! It's this guest who asked me to drink with him."

"Hmph! Who is this guy? He's so abominable! Such a nice Hongqi car is such a waste." Chen Nanxing felt inexplicably angry.

"Suning."

"Who? Hongdou, who did you say it was?" Chen Nanxing thought he was hallucinating, and then he looked at Xu Hongdou with wide eyes.

"Nanxing, you heard it right! It's Suning from Ningyuan Group." Looking at her best friend's incredulous expression, Xu Hongdou explained with a wry smile.

"Ah? I actually saw a living Suning today!"
