Chapter 278: Two hundred seventy-seven, seeking help Chapter 278: Two hundred seventy-seven, seeking help Liu Xin hung up the phone; he had dialed Song Yan Ning several tis but her line was busy. He had just called several hotels and found one with a presidential suite available, which he promptly reserved.
After waiting a little while, Liu Xin tried calling Song Yan Ning again. This ti, the call connected, “Boss, I’ve secured a room for us. It’s at the Wanduo Hotel not far from . Would you like to co and see it?”
“No need, I’ve already booked a hotel,” Song Yan Ning said, her preference for the current hot spring hotel she was staying at apparent. Although it was sowhat secluded and a bit far from the gemstone exchange eting, the hotel was surrounded by mountains and the sea, providing exceptionally fresh air.
“Which hotel are you staying at now?” Liu Xin asked. If there were rooms available there, he planned to move as well.
“Junyue Hotel.”
Liu Xin was taken aback for a mont and quickly asked, “The Junyue Hotel near Wild Man Mountain?”
“Yep.”
“That place is rumored to be unclean? And transportation is inconvenient, Boss. Maybe you should consider moving to Wanduo Hotel instead.” Liu Xin had been to Myanmar several tis and had heard stories about the Junyue Hotel. The scenery there was beautiful, and it featured one of the rare hot springs in Myanmar. However, people often went missing there, especially in recent years. Tourists who stayed there were found dead in the hot springs the next day, and even more horrifyingly, they were all mummified. The Myanmar Governnt had intended to shut down the hotel at one point, but for so reason, it remained open.
“No need, it’s quite nice here, and I don’t want to keep changing hotels.”
“But there have been many supernatural events there, and many tourists who stayed there died the next day.” Liu Xin was genuinely worried. It was almost getting dark now; what if sothing happened to the Boss?
“I know, I’ve already taken care of it. You don’t need to worry.”
“But I’m afraid what if…” The boss said she had taken care of it but he didn’t believe it. How do you deal with sothing unclean?
“Alright, let’s leave it at that. You don’t need to co to pick us up tomorrow; we’ll et you at the entrance of the gemstone exchange eting,” said Song Yan Ning before hanging up.
“But Boss…” Liu Xin realized the call had already ended, shook his head helplessly, and put away his phone. All he could do now was hope that nothing would happen to the Boss. When the Boss had made a decision, he had no power to change it.
He walked over to the liquor cabinet, opened it, and took out a bottle of red wine and a wine glass. After pouring himself a drink, he walked to the balcony to admire the view.
The Boss said he didn’t need to pick them up tomorrow, but it would take at least an hour’s journey from the hot spring hotel to the gemstone exchange eting venue. How were they going to get there? It wasn’t like back ho where you could easily hail a cab. It was quite the headache. Well, he would just have to call the Boss again tomorrow morning.
“Knock, knock, knock!” Just then, a knock on the door echoed from outside.
Liu Xin went to open the door and saw Yang Qi, whom he had t earlier at the rough gemstone market, “Boss Yang.”
“President Liu, sorry to bother you! May I co in and sit for a bit?” Yang Qi asked with a smile, gesturing toward the room.
“Of course, please co in!” Liu Xin stepped aside to let Yang Qi enter.
Once Yang Qi was seated, Liu Xin poured him a glass of red wine and handed it to him, then sat down opposite him, “Boss Yang, if there’s anything you need, just tell .”
“I’ve heard your boss is very experienced in identifying rough gemstones, and I’d like to ask her to help pick out a few pieces,” Yang Qi said, driven to seek out Liu Xin as a last resort. Business at the jewelry store was getting tougher, and he had pooled all his available funds to make one final gamble.
