Chapter 22: The War of Two Men
Kang Shaolan turned around and walked towards Song Wushuang, his appearance full of spring breeze made Song Wushuang want to escape. I had to pretend to be working to avoid his gaze, "Everyone else is scattered, work hard, Sunshine Hotel will not treat everyone badly." Brother, you will send the hotel check-in book for the last few days to my office in a moment. With that, she prepared to leave.
Although Kang Shaolan's legs and feet were inconvenient, the soldier he brought knew his intentions very well, and the soldier stretched out his hand to stop her, although polite but also a little coercive.
Zhou Zihe was displeased, "What, Mr. Kang also wants to learn the methods of street gangsters, and he can't stalk women?" β
It seems that no words can make Kang Shaolan angry, his face did not change, and he nodded in place, "I have heard that Mr. Zhou is infatuated with Miss Anxin, even if she disappears for so many years, no woman can enter your eyes again." It can be seen that your love for Miss Anxin is evident from the sun and the moon, and it is also admired by us. In that case, why do you meddle in the matter between me and Miss Song. He looked at Song Wushuang again and said, "Miss Song, it's difficult, you also admire Mr. Zhou?" β
Song Wushuang didn't expect Kang Shaolan to ask such a question, he obviously knew that Xiao Ai had just framed her for crowding out and tyrannizing Xiao Ai on the grounds of admiring Mr. Zhou, if she showed her good impression of Zhou Zihe in front of everyone at this time, it wouldn't be a real thing for her to bully Xiao Ai. How will she manage the personnel work in the hotel in the future? How should she behave?
Sure enough, the employees waited like owls for her answer.
Forced to do so, she could only say, "I don't have any wrong thoughts about Mr. Zhou, and many employees criticize my relationship with Mr. Zhou, saying that he takes too much care of me, a small manager." That's because Mr. Zhou spent a lot of money to hire me to manage the 3-life hotel, and I had no relatives in Shanghai, and Mr. Zhou was kind-hearted and afraid that I would not be able to work with peace of mind, so he took care of me in many ways. β
These words were in Kang Shaolan's heart, and he nodded with satisfaction, "My Fair Lady and Gentleman, in this case, I am pleased with you, and there is no reason not to pursue you." He suddenly approached her affectionately, made her hide, and gently took her hand, "Let me be your relative and take care of you justifiably." β
At these words, the female employees at the scene made a cry of envy, "Promise him, promise him!" There are those who take the lead, and there are those who follow the coaxing, and the sentence "promise him" makes it difficult for her to ride the tiger. She quickly withdrew her hand, not knowing where to place it.
Kang Shaolan saw that she didn't answer for a long time, she was depressed, and asked carefully, "Do you think that I have a hidden problem in my leg, so I ......?"
Song Wushuang was about to collapse, what was wrong with Dr. Kang, why did he force her to such a point, if she admitted this, wouldn't she have labeled her as "exposing people's shortcomings", "disliking the poor and loving the rich", "two-faced and three-stabbed" and so on. If she replied that she didn't dislike it, wouldn't that be tantamount to agreeing to his pursuit?
Her mind was confused, trying to sort out words and sentences. "No, Dr. Kang is benevolent, and I am grateful for taking care of me when I am in danger."
"So, you're agreeing to my quest?" He asked earnestly, not giving her a chance to breathe.
Where does Song Wushuang mean this, her mind quickly thought about how to make up for the shortcomings, but she heard Zhou Zihe on the side laugh.
Didn't Dr. Kang hear what he meant? Song Wushuang said, you take care of her when she is in danger, you don't understand what this means? β
Kang Shaolan frowned, and Zhou Zihe continued, "She has been in danger several times, and even almost lost her life, all thanks to your scheming sister-in-law. β
When it came to what his sister had done, his confident gaze instantly lost half, and Zhou Zihe continued to pursue verbally, "Now that you are here to play the bridge of my fair lady and gentleman, don't you think it's funny?" Your Kang family is really interesting, one is good at hurting people, the other is willing to heal people, dare to ask, which girl dares to marry your Kang family? β
This remark made everyone whisper.
Kang Shaolan's face was gloomy, and he tried to defend himself, "For this matter, our Kang family does have a reason, but my sister is my sister, I am me, and after I marry Wushuang, I will not let her be hurt again." β
"In my opinion, as long as she doesn't enter your Kang family, she will naturally not be hurt by your sister again!" Zhou Zihe straightened his sleeves and said politely, "Mr. Kang, the hotel is open for business, do you want to continue to argue with me here?" β
Kang Shaolan didn't want to talk fearlessly with Zhou Zihe, so he turned his head to look at Song Wushuang, waiting for her answer. After Song Wushuang saw his expectant gaze, he didn't dare to look at each other, but just lowered his head and looked at the tip of his shoe and didn't know what to do.
Song Wushuang's silence made him not want to stay any longer, "Okay, I can't bother me today, let's leave now." β
He approached Song Wushuang and leaned close to her ear, "Now I understand your thoughts, although I am very reluctant to admit it in my heart." β
Song Wushuang didn't dare to raise his head and meet his eyes.
He didn't give up, "But I just want to tell you that I'm true to you." And he, no matter how good he is to you, is really already with Miss Anxin, if you really fall in love with him, that is the beginning of your misfortune. β
Kang Shaolan said what was on her mind, she finally raised her head, looked at his warm eyes and didn't dare to say much, and couldn't believe that he had already seen through her.
"Maybe you wonder why I'm doing this to you today. Please promise me to give me a chance to explain to me tomorrow. β
Zhou Zihe's erratic eyes made him dissatisfied, and he gave an order, "Everyone, go to you immediately." Manager Song, please hand over the hotel's improvement plan to me later. β
Kang Shaolan took her as an answer, turned around and led the soldiers away.
She stood there like a puppet, pushed by the situation, she staggered back to the office, she couldn't write a word on the white paper, she forced herself to write, those unstructured sentences seemed to be her mind numb.
Now, even Kang Shaolan can see her thoughts, what about Zhou Zihe?
Does he know that he has fallen in love with him because of his excessive care?
Song Wushuang hated her own incompetence, she clearly knew that Zhou Zihe would be gentle and considerate to her and even save her with her wealth because she seemed to be at ease, but she still had to sink into it little by little.
What is she going to do now? The modern times that can't go back and the Republic of China that can't be separated from make her in a dilemma.
The world outside is chaotic, and the Sunshine Hotel can give her temporary stability. If she doesn't leave the Sunshine Hotel as the premise, she must get rid of Zhou Zihe's kindness to her, and she must get rid of the reassuring shadow on her.
"What do you think again?" Zhou Zihe brought a bowl of soup and put it on her desk. "The doctor said that the tonic soup can't be stopped, so if you don't like it, you should drink a little." He brought the first aid kit, "Your hand is trampled on, I'll help you deal with it." So saying, he took his hand and bandaged him.
Song Wushuang withdrew his hand and looked at the bowl of soup, not moving, ruthless.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Zihe asked with concern.
She raised her head and replied with a resolute gaze, "I still want to ask, what's wrong with you?" She sneered, "Does Mr. Zhou regard me as a reassuring person again?" β
After going through so many things, Zhou Zihe was also angry, he opened his mouth to scold her back, but he couldn't bear it, and said softly, "I know that you have had too many twists and turns today, and I also understand your difficulties." β
"Mr. Zhou, please tell me, who am I?"
"I know you're Song Wushuang."
"Since you know, you should understand that we have nothing to do with each other, and please don't shout at me."
He was slightly stunned, and his gentle eyes suddenly became indifferent, "I just feel that you are my important employee, and I can't let you be wronged." If my behavior makes you feel a psychological burden, I won't do it in the future. β
"In that case, I still have one thing to ask Mr. Zhou for approval."
"You say."
"I'm just a manager, I'm not fit to stay in a superior room in a hotel for a long time, and I don't have the right to stay in room 404 all the time. I heard that the hotel has a precedent of arranging housing for non-local employees, and I would like to apply to live outside. β
He replied noncommittally, "No." β
"Why not?"
"You are now the hotel manager, you have to make up your mind about everything in the hotel, you live here, and you can solve unexpected problems at any time!"
What he said is actually reasonable and well-founded, without the slightest personal feelings, and you cannot deny it.
Song Wushuang couldn't bear it anymore, "Although the hotel hired me with a lot of money, it couldn't buy me all the time of the day. I'm human too, and I need rest too. I am a human, not a machine. I can't always be like a machine, just start and work. You're squeezing me, you know? β
Zhou Zihe was speechless, so angry that his hands began to tremble. Song Wushuang couldn't see his displeasure, but today he had to make a quick decision and give himself a new starting point.
She was just about to open her mouth, but Zhou Zihe raised his hand to signal her to shut up.
He didn't want to dwell on this issue with her, so he picked up the plan she wrote and looked at it, and asked in a questioning tone, "This is the plan you wrote?" Is that your attitude to work? Is it really in vain that I am blind to your fancies, I think you are just a faΓ§ade? β
When it comes to his work ability, Song Wushuang was indignant and ridiculed, "This is an advanced hotel management concept, I'm afraid it's a frog at the bottom of your well, and you can't read it." β
"I'm illiterate, what do you see these words?" As he spoke, Zhou Zihe picked up the pen on the table and drew circles on her plan. "Should these words be written like that?"
"That's right."
He couldn't believe it, "That's how your teacher taught you to write Chinese?" β
Song Wushuang suddenly realized that she was angry for a moment and forgot that the common document font here in the Republic of China is traditional Chinese. Although she had avoided this problem before, today she was so angry that she forgot to convert simplified Chinese characters to traditional Chinese characters for a while.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry......" Before she finished speaking, Zhou Zihe threw the plan on the table, "I spent a lot of money to invite you to work, I hope your mind is used in work, don't think about things that happen to affect your work!" β
Song Wushuang knew that he was unreasonable, so he could only swallow this grievance secretly.
"Don't mention this again, I think you should study how to work hard here, and then come and negotiate conditions with me." He shook his hand and slammed the door away, and the matter ended in nothing.
Song Wushuang looked at the tonic soup and medicine box on the table, and rubbed her temples helplessly, it was really difficult for her to make a living here in the Republic of China.
