Although the waiter hesitated at first, he finally compromised at Xia Xingcheng’s insistence. ‘Finally, I’ve entered the hotel smoothly.’ Xia Xingcheng felt relieved.
“Are you sure you want to apply for the job of a waitress?” The hotel supervisor sized up the girl in front of her with some suspicion. She asked that because Xia Xingcheng looked quite young and had a good temperament, so she thought it was a pity for her to be a waitress.
Xia Xingcheng could sense the supervisor’s doubts, so she hurriedly put on a very sincere facade and replied firmly, “Yes, I wish to apply for the position as a waitress.” Xia Xingcheng was afraid that the hotel supervisor still didn’t believe it, so she began to tell the supervisor all about her work experience abroad. “Not only have I been a waitress in foreign countries, but also manager of a hotel. I have had to deal with quite a lot, so please rest assured that I will not let you down. “
After being sent abroad for all those years, in order to survive she had done all kinds of hard work in the first year. In particular, during the cold winter, she had been pregnant with a large tummy, and such pain she had been unable to forget until now.
The hotel supervisor initially thought that Xia Xingcheng was merely a young girl, but had not anticipated that she would have so much experience. She couldn’t help but begin to think highly of Xia Xingcheng, and was very satisfied with her performance. Without saying another word, the supervisor simply recruited her. “OK, you can come to work tomorrow.”
Once she heard that she was hired by the hotel, Xia Xingcheng almost hailed aloud. She coughed slightly, suppressed her excitement and thanked the supervisor repeatedly.
“Work hard. There are plenty of promotional opportunities.” The supervisor patted her shoulder.
“Thank you.” Xia Xingcheng thanked the supervisor again and she looked around and thought for a moment, then asked the supervisor tentatively, “Supervisor, may I have a look around and get familiar with the hotel’s layout?”
“Huh?” The supervisor looked at her confused.
With a beaming smile Xia Xingcheng explained, “I’d like to get familiar with the environment first, so that it’ll help me get on with my work more quickly tomorrow.”
When the supervisor heard her reason, she couldn’t like Xia Xingcheng more. It was rare in these days to find such staff who were so enthusiastic about their work. “Okay! I’ll find someone to show you around “Again the supervisor agreed to her request without any further doubt and then called up a girl about the age as Xia Xingcheng.
“Lin, this is our new employee. Take her and show her around our hotel.”
“Yes, Supervisor.”
The girl, Lin, then smiled sweetly to Xia Xingcheng who smiled back to show good manners.
“Xia.” The supervisor suddenly said.
Xia Xingcheng went blank for a short while and then realized that the supervisor had called her, so she relied right away. “Yes, Supervisor?”
“All the people who live in rooms in this hotel are VIPs, so you must be very careful when you go around.”
“Yes.” Xia Xingcheng and Lin answered with one voice. Then they looked at each other and smiled.
After giving the order, the supervisor asked Lin to find a work uniform and let Xia Xingcheng get changed for today. After Xia Xingcheng was formally employed, they would get a new one tailored for her. After changing into uniform, Xia Xingcheng was to be shown around by Lin in order to become familiar with the hotel.
Lin was a very active and cheerful girl, and every time they went to a new floor, she would explain everything to Xia Xingcheng in details. She was eager to tell Xia Xingcheng all that she knew. “In addition to the presidential suite at the top floor, the rest are business suites. And the hotel also has swimming pools, clubs, bars and various entertainment facilities. It has everything.”
Lin talked in a high spirit, but Xia Xingcheng seemed to be a little absent-minded. Now her mind was occupied with ideas about how to find an excuse to ask where the hotel’s monitoring room was. In this way, she would be able to pull up surveillance videos to find out where Bao was.
Seeing her a bit absent-minded, Lin asked her thoughtfully, “Are you feeling okay?”
Xia Xingcheng paused and shook her head with a smile. “It’s nothing.”
Lin didn’t ask too much but said, “Let’s go upstairs and have a look.”
‘There is no time to waste!”
Xia Xingcheng pretended to ask in a casual way, “Lin, where is the monitoring room of this hotel?”
Hearing her ask that Lin suddenly stopped, turned to her and looked at her doubtfully. “Why do you ask this all of a sudden?”
“Er…” Xia Xingcheng smiled awkwardly, and then shrugged. “I’m just asking. After all, the monitoring room is the core of a hotel. If there is an emergency or something, knowing where it is could be very important.”
“I see.” Lin nodded and didn’t feel any suspicion to her words, telling her directly which floor the monitoring room was on and also told her how to go there.
Xia Xingcheng made a note of it. She smiled at Lin and said, “Lin, you are so kind. You’ve told me everything.”
“No big deal. We’ll be colleagues in future and we’re supposed to take care of each other.”
Looking at Xiao Lin’s sincere smile, Xia Xingcheng couldn’t help feeling a little guilty, apologizing in her heart.
Now that she knew where the monitoring room was, Xia Xingcheng was not in the mood to continue to look around the hotel, so she made an excuse to go to the restroom.
After Sheng Yeting had dinner with his parents, it was already dark outside. He meant to send them home but there was an urgent video conference to be held, so he asked them to leave by themselves, while he simply stayed in the hotel. In any case, this hotel kept his room all the year round.
After a tense video conference, Sheng Yeting let out a deep breath in relief. He lifted his hand, pulled off his tie and threw it aside, then got up and walked into the bathroom.
On the other side, Xia Xingcheng, who found an excuse to use the restroom, broke into the floor where the monitoring room was located. She followed the route Lin had given her and began to look for the monitoring room.
However, what she didn’t expect was that the hotel was too big. There were a lot of corridors and passageways. Before long, she was confused and couldn’t distinguish what direction she was going in, let alone where the monitoring room that Lin mentioned was.
She just felt like a headless fly, slowly fumbling around and hoping to find the monitoring room.
After searching for a long while, Xia Xingcheng came to the elevator and she was about to move on by when the elevator door opened with a sting.
She hurriedly turned around, looked down and pretended to be looking for something, but she was glancing from the corner of her eyes at the people coming out of the elevator.
When she saw who came out from the elevator, her pupils constricted abruptly. What were the odds of her meeting Xia Xingyan and Xu Hao again? In case they saw her, Xia Xingcheng immediately lowered her head further.
Xia Xingcheng was wearing the hotel uniform so Xia Xingyan didn’t take heed of her and passed by.
Waiting them to leave, Xia Xingcheng then looked up to the elevator, with her fine brows knitted. The presidential suite was on the top floor. ‘Xian Xingyan and Xu Hao came down from the top floor, so does that mean Bao is also up there?’
When she reached the top floor it didn’t take her long before she discovered a suspicious room. There were two well-built men dressed in black right at the door who were no doubt bodyguards. Xia Xingcheng’s intuition told her that Bao was in that room!
