C537 – Can You Stop with Your Dirty Tricks?
The car came to a halt in front of Su Ming.
“Oh, Mr. Su, what brings you here?”
Principal Ye stepped out of the vehicle.
“Brother!”
“Brother Ming!”
Two girls emerged from the car, one on each side.
“I just wanted to check in.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
Then something seemed to strike him.
“Right, Principal Ye.”
“Could you pop into the pharmacy next door and pick up an N95 mask?”
Su Ming suggested cheerfully.
“Huh?”
Principal Ye was perplexed.
Why?
What for?
“Principal Ye, you should take my brother’s advice.”
Su Qiu winked mischievously. “If my brother suggests it, he must have a good reason. Some mysteries are best kept secret.”
“Okay then.”
Realizing Su Ming wasn’t inclined to elaborate, Principal Ye didn’t press the issue.
But one must heed Mr. Su’s advice.
Without further ado, Principal Ye headed to the nearby pharmacy and bought a…
Wait, that wouldn’t suffice.
One mask simply wouldn’t be enough.
So, Principal Ye bought a whole pack.
?And then another, just to be sure.
?In the end, Principal Ye emerged with five packs of N95 masks.
“Mr. Su, will you join us upstairs?”
Principal Ye inquired upon his return.
“No, I’ll stay down here.”
Su Ming responded with a chuckle. “You go on up. It’s nearly time.”
“Alright.”
With no further questions, Principal Ye led the girls upstairs.
?Su Ming entered the hotel and approached the front desk.
?”Sir, how may I assist you?”
The receptionist greeted Su Ming with a courteous smile.
“I’d like to speak with your manager,” Su Ming replied, still smiling.
?”Sir, is there something about our service that you’re unhappy with?”
The receptionist was taken aback, worried that Su Ming had a complaint.
“No, no, don’t worry. I’m not here to lodge a complaint. I just need to discuss something with your manager.”
Su Ming quickly clarified.
“Of course, sir. One moment, please!”
At Long Teng Hotel, the customer’s needs were paramount.
?Shortly thereafter, the elevator doors opened.
A well-dressed middle-aged woman approached.
Her eyes brightened when she saw Su Ming.
“My goodness, if it isn’t Mr. Su! What brings you here today?”
A middle-aged woman quickly approached to welcome him.
“Do you recognize me?”
Su Ming was taken aback.
“Mr. Su, who in our industry doesn’t know you?” she quickly clarified.
?In other sectors, it might not matter, but in the service industry, knowing Su Ming was a must. It was an unspoken rule among the industry’s heavyweights. Su Ming deserved nothing but the best service; otherwise, it could lead to trouble. What if there were repercussions?
Su Ming liked the sound of that.
He glanced at her name badge and saw that her name was Zhao Caiyun.
“Manager Zhao, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you privately. Could we step aside for a moment?” Su Ming asked with a hint of intrigue.
Zhao Caiyun was taken aback.
A private conversation?
Could it be…
Her face flushed with color.
This… No, it couldn’t be.
?Could Mr. Su, having heard she was single, be interested in pursuing her?
?That seemed unlikely. Mr. Su, such an exceptional man, surely preferred younger women. How could he be interested in her?
Or did Mr. Su have a taste for someone like her?
That couldn’t be right…
But if Mr. Su was indeed pursuing her, what should she do?
Should she just accept?
?Or maybe play hard to get before accepting?
Or coyly accept?
Or pretend to hesitate before accepting?
Or…
?Wait, why was she even considering acceptance?
Oh dear!
Zhao Caiyun stood rooted to the spot, her cheeks growing warmer.
Zhao Caiyun was the epitome of a successful, strong-willed woman. Her assertive nature was likely why she was still single in her late thirties. Despite this, she was undeniably beautiful, with a mature allure that younger women couldn’t match. She was truly at a Divine Level.
?Su Ming was perplexed.
?He cocked his head to the side and waved his hand in front of Zhao Caiyun’s eyes.
“Manager Zhao, are you okay?” he inquired.
?”Mr. Su, please, I… I… Well, if you’re that fond of me, then I suppose I have no choice but to accept,” Zhao Caiyun blurted out.
?As she finished her statement, a hush fell over the crowd.
?The entrance of the Long Teng Hotel was bustling.
Six receptionists were at the front desk.
Another six greeters stood poised in the lobby.
A few security guards were stationed at the door.
Several guests lounged on the sofas.
Near the elevators, a group awaited their ride.
Many regulars were familiar with Zhao Caiyun.
She had her fair share of admirers, though none had succeeded.
?Upon hearing Zhao Caiyun’s declaration, everyone’s jaws dropped.
?No way!!
Seriously??
That’s pretty bold!
Su Ming was taken aback.
?Huh?!
?What?!
What on earth?!
Had he misheard?
No.
Manager Zhao, what are you…
What’s this?
I’m at a loss with your enigmatic move.
What did you just agree to?
When did I ever say I liked you?
Please, don’t joke like this!
?Zhao Caiyun, too, was frozen in shock.
She suddenly realized she had misspoken.
Her cheeks flushed even deeper.
Despite Zhao Caiyun’s reputation as a powerhouse, she was inexperienced in matters of the heart.
?She had been lost in her thoughts and inadvertently voiced them.
“Right, right, right…”
Zhao Caiyun’s heart pounded erratically, her words tumbling out awkwardly.
The onlookers chimed in.
Oh my!
We heard you loud and clear!
No need to overemphasize.
So many ‘rights’?
Su Ming’s forehead creased with lines of bewilderment.
What’s going on?
This is a disaster.
Even the Yellow River couldn’t cleanse this.
“I’m sorry! I, I just…”
Zhao Caiyun struggled to form a coherent sentence.
Unable to bear it any longer, she turned and hurried away.
Su Ming, at a loss for words, could only offer a wry smile.
?Saying sorry shouldn’t be this difficult, right?
?He didn’t know whether to laugh or frown.
Shaking his head, he decided to act as if nothing had happened and followed Zhao Caiyun to the nearby elevator.
?Meanwhile, the onlookers outside were abuzz.
Ah!
It all makes sense now!
They’re off to do some morning exercise!
If Su Ming found out about this, he’d surely point right at their noses and give them a piece of his mind.
?”Morning your sister!”
“Morning your grandma’s third uncle’s fourth aunt!”
“I didn’t say a darn thing!”
“Damn it!”
Zhao Caiyun kept her head down the entire elevator ride, silent. Once they reached their floor, she led the way with Su Ming trailing behind. Soon, they entered Zhao Caiyun’s office. She grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down, the icy liquid soothing her as it traveled down her throat to her stomach, making her feel somewhat relieved.
?”Mr. Su, just tell me what you need. I’m ready to cooperate,” Zhao Caiyun said, steadying her emotions before speaking out. But right after she finished, she realized her words might be misconstrued. In this office, with its excellent soundproofing, just the two of them, and her saying she could cooperate—it was awkward. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Seeing her reaction, Su Ming was at a loss for words. “Maybe you should consider acting,” he thought. “You’ve got enough drama for it.”
