The next day, at 8 am, the investigation results were posted online, and as soon as the news was released, it imdiately sparked widespread attention on the internet and social dia.
— Wow, Jinyuan Hotel has finally been cleared! I always believed in their quality and reputation. I knew it was soone trying to fra them.
— Oh my goodness! It’s like a disaster fell from the sky, but thankfully Jinyuan Hotel made it through.
— Is it that easy to be a head chef? Such people are unrealistic in their ambitions and have fragile lives, they deserve to be fired. I strongly demand a strict sentence.
— The efficiency is pretty impressive, very high!
In Jinyuan Hotel, the guests, while eating, also expressed their opinions.
"I always thought this hotel had good service. I can finally dine here with peace of mind, what a false alarm."
"My God, the drugs used in the cri were bought online, good thing they were taken down."
"I heard it was a temp who didn’t get hired permanently, harboring resentnt. Lucky he didn’t get hired, such a person is simply sinister, too scary."
"So it turns out that triggering a heart attack was fake, I really thought it was food poisoning."
" Mad for money, cursing themselves!"
The hotel regained its lively atmosphere as before, accompanied by soothing music, guests chatted and laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying the specialty dishes.
However, while the hotel staff cheered for victory, soone was roaring in anger.
In a room filled with electronic devices, Lei Ziyi was staring at the computer screen with his fists clenched, his back seed to be swallowed by darkness, devoid of any warm aura.
"Damn it! They’ve released the results so quickly!" A sinister smile appeared on his lips. "Don’t celebrate too early, just you watch!"
After pausing for a few seconds, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number with no saved contact na.
Once the call connected, he said with a guilty conscience, "Boss, I’m sorry, the mission failed." A deep voice ca from the other end, "It’s okay, release those ssages, the more chaotic, the better. Rember, keep it clean and don’t expose yourself."
"Don’t worry, they won’t trace it back to us."
Lei Ziyi’s fingers began tapping on the keyboard, thinking that this counterattack must succeed, and he must plunge Jinyuan Hotel back into a whirlwind of public opinion.
But what he didn’t know was that Li Zishen was already prepared for this.
Under Chen Xin’s direction, the public relations team took swift action, contacting the dia to retract negative reports and also posting statents on social dia, revealing the scheming of those behind the scenes, accusing them of distorting facts for traffic.
In just ten minutes, the public relations team successfully intercepted all negative ssages about Jinyuan Hotel and pushed the truth to the top headlines.
— My goodness, I thought it was an unfortunate case of soone being wronged and then resorting to poisoning, but it was malicious speculation all along!
— I knew it was a false alarm.
— Running a business is so tough nowadays, guarding against competitors and yet still needing to watch out for villains?
— Strong support for Jinyuan, will definitely go there next ti!
— I hadn’t taken a close look yet, and it’s already gone, fake will always be fake, can’t last long.
— Money is good, but you can’t lose your conscience!
The public opinion quickly returned to normal, and Lei Ziyi, in front of his computer screen, was so angry that he slamd his keyboard and mouse, but by then, it was too late to act.
He subsequently inford the boss of the news.
...
anwhile, Tang Xiaowan and others had already arrived in Huang City by helicopter amidst a drizzling rain.
Since their destination was in the densely populated downtown area, Tang i did not want the helicopter landing to attract too much attention, so they had just switched to a business van that Leng Lingxiao had prepared earlier.
"Grandma, do you really like this place?"
"Yes, once I get you married off, I’ll retire here to spend my later years."
Tang Xiaowan glanced at Leng Lingxiao and cheekily replied, "That might take a few more years, what if... we just don’t leave this ti?"
"Silly child, winter in Huang City is very cold, you won’t be used to it, better to go to Chicheng."
"Where grandma is, that’s where I am."
Tang i smiled and shook her head without a word, but once again cast her gaze out of the car window at the streetscape, lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied.
She’s trying to get rid of again!
Tang Xiaowan pouted, imdiately acting peevish and lying down on Tang i’s lap. But she was restless, her body occasionally wriggling and making murmuring sounds.
"Co on, get up, sit properly."
"Grandma slls so nice, so good. Tonight... I want to sleep with grandma."
"How old are you, still acting like a child?"
"I am a child."
"A child? You’re 20 already, really shaless, get up quick. Aren’t you embarrassed, acting spoiled like this at your age?"
"Huahua just loves the way I am!"
At that mont, Leng Lingxiao in the front passenger seat almost couldn’t contain his laughter. He truly cherished her, wishing that Tang Xiaowan would also treat him in such a considerate way.
Right now, his mood was great, no matter what, Tang Xiaowan had finally co to Huang City.
This, to him, felt like a victory.
"Old madam, we’ve arrived." Zhao Renjie parked the car by the roadside and spoke softly.
Through the car window, Tang Xiaowan saw an old street with a strong sense of history, without any high buildings, mostly two or three stories tall.
"Chunlei Street, 66, granny, is this the place?"
All the doors and windows were dark red, very ancient-looking, which complented the rust-colored stone walls, and there were crimson bougainvillea on the balcony.
Tang i nodded slightly, giving a grunt of acknowledgnt.
"Didn’t they say there was a small courtyard? Why are there steps right at the entrance?"
"In the back."
"Oh, I see!"
At that ti, Zhao Renjie had opened the car door, holding an umbrella respectfully, while Tang i was lost in thought for several seconds before she slowly got out of the car, carrying a black handbag.
The light rain dap-dap-dapped, making the bluestone pavent shine with an ancient and heavy appearance.
"Be careful, it’s slippery."
"Old Zhao, thanks for your hard work," Tang i said with a smile, then handed Zhao Renjie a set of keys.
"This is all part of my job."
On the other side, as soon as Tang Xiaowan got out of the car, Leng Lingxiao wrapped his arms around her waist, sharing an umbrella.
She clearly enjoyed this kind of care, yet still softly scolded, "So annoying, taking advantage of again!" Her large almond-shaped eyes then swept toward the comrcial vehicle, "What are you going to do later, going ho?"
"Are you inviting to stay for lunch?" Leng Lingxiao asked with a smile.
Actually, he hadn’t planned on leaving at all.
When he left early in the morning, he had already inford his parents that he would return to Huang City but not go ho.
"Ha, I don’t even know what it looks like inside, there might not be a single leaf of vegetable, why would I keep you here, to eat air?"
"Actually... I could eat you."
His voice was very soft and gentle, just loud enough for the two of them to hear, making the atmosphere suddenly beco awkward.
Just as Leng Lingxiao gazed affectionately at her, Tang Xiaowan angrily retorted with two words: "Pervert."
Her voice was also very soft.
"Co on, I’m your fiancé, can’t I make a joke?" Leng Lingxiao raised his eyebrows.
"Fine, fine, you win, I can’t argue with you. It’s just a fiancé, so fine, I’ll just take off the ring..."
"Wow, Tangtang, look, the door is open."
Leng Lingxiao suddenly shouted, interrupting Tang Xiaowan’s move to take off her ring.
With the umbrella closed and a small hand pulled, the bickering was imdiately thrown out of Tang Xiaowan’s mind. She looked around joyfully and entered the century-old house.
"Do you like it?" Leng Lingxiao asked softly.
"Wow, it’s all real wood decoration, it feels so cozy, and look at this handrail, this chandelier."
For Tang Xiaowan, who didn’t like wearing slippers, the fully wooden decorative style really suited her tastes, just like i Garden.
"Guess we can run around barefoot again!" Leng Lingxiao said, eyes full of adoration.
"Yeah, haha."
This place where Tang i had lived was filled with laughter and so sadness, full of youthful mories, so Tang Xiaowan wasn’t as excited.
After looking around for a bit, she walked up the wooden staircase very slowly, step by step.
years had passed since she had returned here.
"Granny, wait for ."
"Let granny stay by herself for a while." Tang Xiaowan tried to follow, but was firmly held back by Leng Lingxiao, "Co on, let’s stroll around in the back."
Tang Xiaowan bit her lower lip, suspecting Leng Lingxiao of scheming, surely plotting sothing again.
"What are we doing in the back?"
"Kitchen, see if there are any snacks."
"What about Zhao Renjie, is he moving the luggage..."
"Hurry up, worrywart!"
