#Seven-Star Hotel Gossip Guide#
The parent company of Cloudtop Winston, a luxury hotel beyond compare, will be pulling out of the Asian market next week. Who will claim this seven-star jewel...
That has very little to do with He Ye, Winston's general manager.
She's more than capable, so both international hotel chains that might take over have blacklisted her. She'll definitely receive her severance pay by next Friday.
This Black Friday turned out to be full of surprises.
Ten in the morning.
The heiress who got her fired and put her on the job-seeker blacklist, Qiao Xi Lantainen, is holding a small auction in the Grand Banquet Hall.
Three in the afternoon.
Her boundary-crossing ex, Xie Tingying, heir and captain of the Yangjiang Shipping business, checks into the Presidential Suite and taps her conscience on social media: "Hm? You don't have one?"
That's based on her tap-tap settings.
Seven in the evening.
She receives a report that a mysterious guest suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness while dining at the Chinese restaurant. The guest booked through a hotel room broker, and no one knows his medical history.
Ten thirty at night.
In the middle of her busy shift, she hurriedly messages her best friend: Help me book seats for tomorrow's game with my crush. Ask me directly for the details.
She casually starts a group chat, but accidentally selects the four friends starred right above and below.
Bestie's private message: Are all five of them your crushes? You wild thing!
Bestie: Hi! I'm Ye Ye's friend Daisy. I'll help everyone book tickets!
Male model: Are all of you Manager He's friends?
Ex-husband: I'm not her friend. I'm her boyfriend.
MR. X: Are you? She told me she was single before she just left my room.
Criminal record: I'm her ex-boyfriend.
"Ex-husband" unsent a message.
187 ENFJ: What a lively bunch. Didn't expect so many people to play ball together.

Bonus scene:

The group representative refuses to pay for automated operations. He Ye needs someone with a head for finance to accompany her to the presentation, so she asks Xie Tingying.
Xie Tingying: Do I look like I have nothing to do? But if you'll have dinner with me tonight, I might consider...
He Ye turns around: Mr. Xiao, could you help me out?
Mr. Xiao: (Enthusiastically) Of course! My pleasure!
Xie Tingying gives a cool, faint sneer, three parts aloof, four parts nonchalant.
In the middle of the night.
Xie Tingying grits his teeth: Seriously, how can she be like this!

[Chat history with my ex-husband]
Xie Tingying: Do you still mean what you said after drinking last night?
He Ye: If what I said at two could still count, then it wouldn't be that none of it counted at one.
Xie Tingying: You're going back on your word again!
Xie Tingying: Is this what Manager He's integrity and sense of responsibility look like?
He Ye: In our line of work, the biggest taboo is falling in love with a guest ^-^
