Director Tian let his heart relax a tiny bit upon hearing Huo Chang repeatedly assure him that nothing was wrong. However, there was sothing else that was nagging him, that there was so kind of mistake that he was committing.
But Huo Chang was right. They didn't do anything wrong that could put them in an adverse situation. Besides, they've done it before and escaped unhard and were even able to keep their position. Surely, this ti would be the sa, right?
Director Tian lifted his chin up and walked confidently, completely different from when he ca in through the corridor of the managent section as though death was right after his soul.
Walking towards the head office, Director Tian calmly tugged on his tie and combed his hair back with his fingers.
'tap, tap'
He gently knocked his knuckles against the door made of burly wood and waited outside. A few seconds later, no one answered and the door didn't open for him.
A crease on his forehead appeared as he gathered his eyebrows and looked at the black painted door. He wondered what was going on inside that it took them a bit of ti for them to open the door.
A minute turned into minutes. Diretor Tian was getting impatient. He changed from foot to foot as if he was about to pee in his pants. The sweat on his forehead and inside his shirt was increasing even though the air condition was turned on at the lowest temperature. Just what was going on?
Coincidentally, while Director Tian was standing in the corridor and right in front of the head office, an employee under one of the heads in that office ca around. The young employee sent an odd glance at him, but didn't stop walking.
"Miss, wait!" Director Tian couldn't wait any longer. His patience was thinning out and he was about to really piss himself in the corridor.
"Yes?" The young employee quizzically stared at him. There were too many people who worked in the hotel, she couldn't tell who this man was. She let her eyes roam around him until it landed on the naplate pinned on his right chest.
The naplate said: "Director Tian of the managent section."
Director Tian pointed to the door. "Is anybody inside the head office? I've been waiting out here but nobody's coming out."
The young employee was thoughtful before she explained, "The people in the head office are currently out."
"Out?" Director Tian stared at her in incredulity. "Weren't they just here monts ago?"
It didn't take long for him to go down after he got word that he was going to be fired by the people in the head office and went looking for Huo Chang before walking up here. It didn't even take up 30 minutes from all the trip he had gone through yet, they're not here?
"Where did they go?" Director Tian asked and grabbed the employee's arm.
The young employee evaded the hand that was about to touch her. She sent him a glare and sternly said, "Director Tian, there's no need to grab onto . You can find them on the rooftop where the helipad is located. They're currently waiting for the arrival of an important person there. Didn't you know this already?"
Director Tian was completely shocked. Why would he even ask if he knew where they went?!
Stunned at the revelation he had just gotten, Director Tian couldn't even bid farewell to the young employee. He pushed his weight on the balls of his feet and quickly ran to the elevator.
But fate was not on his side this ti because the elevator he had just pressed was going down the lobby and it would take him another minute to wait for the other elevators to co up to the floor where he was currently in.
...
On the helipad of the hotel.
The wide horizontal floor was filled with the executives, finance team, and supervisors who left their stations in a hurry after getting a sudden notice of the arrival of the hotel owner.
From the left, the HR director, Sales Director, the Chief Finance Officer, and the several executives lined up according to their positions. The shareholders were also there and stood at the front of the line with so of them looking like they had just woken up from their sleep and rushed over to the hotel with crumpled clothes and ssy hair.
"Why did the president co today?" a shareholder asked the HR director behind him.
The HR director didn't know anything and could only say, "I only got the notice of his arrival just now, sir. He might have co here because of the building proposal the planning team sent a few weeks ago."
The shareholder who previously asked frowned and replied in a perplexed manner, "But why now? There have been several proposals that the planning team sent to the president and all of them were either approved or rejected via emails, calls, and visual etings. Why would he suddenly co here today?"
The HR director scratched his chin as he was also wondering. For the past years, the President of the hotel never showed his face to them, only letting them hear his voice through different ans. This made everyone think that maybe their president was sobody from a foreigner land or soone whose identity couldn't be revealed to the public.
Nevertheless, everyone knew that the president was not a simple person and they could never offend him.
The sound of the helicopter getting closer was heard. The people on the helipad tried to remain calm, but the loud noise caused them to cover their ears from being deafened, and forced themselves to stay on their toes as the wind pushed them back.
'He's here!'
'The president is finally here!'
'We can finally see his face!'
Many of them were excited. This was the first ti they'd ever have a glimpse of the rumored president who owned sixty percent of the shares in the hotel, who was also known to be a big shot in the business world.
Seeing him up close was even harder than finding a dragon's egg buried deep in the ground. This was a once in a lifeti opportunity given to them by Heavens.
When the landing skids touched the ground, the throbbing anticipation inundated everybody. They craned their necks towards the door of the helicopter. They wished the helicopter could stop rotating its rotor blade so that they could give a clearer view of the person behind the glass windows.
After a while, everything stopped.
The helicopter landed safely and the door was finally pulled open.
A pair of legs wrapped in sleek black suit pants moved first. The nurous eyes that looked at the long legs held their breaths.
Then the man that everybody was waiting for finally ca down from the helicopter.
The first thing that Special assistant Guo saw the mont he ca down from the helicopter was the people lined up in front of him. Then, what confused him and shocked him more was they all bowed to him and shouted.
"Boss!"
Special Assistant Guo almost jumped in fright. If he hadn't realized he was the one they were calling out, he'd actually really thought that his boss was behind him or so mafia boss had co around with how these people bowed to him.
"What's going on here?" asked Special assistant Guo.
One shareholder went forward. "Mr. President, we were notified of your arrival just earlier. We all ca here to welco you."
Special assistant Guo touched his temples. "What?"
The second shareholder supplied, "Earlier, we got a call that there will be an ergency conference eting and you'll co by."
Special assistant Guo: "...Who said that?"
"Secretary Guo. Isn't he your secretary, sir?"
Special assistant Guo: 'No! He isn't That man is ! What kind of misunderstanding is this?'
Special assistant Guo wanted to correct this, but then, he rembered that when he called to the main office, he was in a very bad mood and that after conveying what Song Yu Han had told him to say to hotel officers, Special assistant Guo added that he'll co by to check the maintenance of the hotel while he's on it.
The only mistake he had made was that he forgot to ntion that it was he, the assistant, who would co by, not his big boss.
Raising his head to look up at the dazzling sky, Special assistant Guo wished there was a pill that could help him turn back ti. Then, he could rest the whole day and fix this mistake.
Special assistant Guo prayed inwardly: 'Oh, mother in heaven. Please save from my boss's hellfire.'
'Ding!'
At this very mont, the elevator to the helipad suddenly opened, revealing a panic stricken Director Tian.
...
