Chapter 521: Special Treatnt 208: Bai Qiming Collides with Bai Lian_3
The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, and last night Jian Zhongyou ntioned to Bai Lian that they would have breakfast on the 22nd floor at seven.
Bai Lian responded with a simple “Okay”, then lowered her head to look at the breakfast cart.
Aside from breakfast, there was a purple clay teapot on the cart. Bai Lian reached out to pour a cup from the white porcelain teapot next to it, recognized what tea it was, and asked the server to go in and set up the plates, “Thank you.”
“Don’t ntion it, Miss Bai,” Xie Zhongfei handed Bai Lian a business card, “Since you checked in late last night, I didn’t want to disturb you. Please feel free to call if you need anything.”
“Sure,” Bai Lian accepted politely.
She glanced down at the card, Xie Zhongfei, General Manager.
Inside, the floor supervisor placed breakfast on the table on the balcony, being very respectful towards Bai Lian, “Miss Bai, if you need anything, just dial the internal line and press the number one button.”
After the supervisor left, he noted down the room number, 1108, and finally instructed the service departnt that calls from the guest in room 1108 needed to be answered imdiately, and they were to notify her.
“1108 isn’t even the presidential suite,” several of the receptionists comnted in surprise.
The supervisor only gave them a stern look, without explaining the reason.
Even for the presidential suite, the general manager had never handled it personally.
**
Eight o’clock, Jiahao Hotel lobby.
Vice President Zhou was speaking with Qiu Xuezheng, “Do you really have a special class mber this ti?”
The Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association ca for an evaluation, and Vice President Zhou knew Qiu Xuezheng well. As a candidate for the next president, Vice President Zhou had heard so news.
“You’ll find out when the ti cos,” Qiu Xuezheng said coolly.
As they were talking, a black Cayenne stopped at the hotel entrance, and a hotel concierge imdiately went to open the door.
From the back seat, Bai Qiming got out.
The assistant from the front passenger seat also got out and followed closely behind Bai Qiming, “Manager Liu said that the 28th has been booked, but everything is still subject to your discussion with him.”
Bai Qiming nodded.
He entered the hotel, planning to go to the hotel office to find Manager Liu when he spotted a familiar figure in the center of the hotel lobby. He hesitated for a mont, then took a few steps forward, “President Zhou.”
Vice President Zhou, of the Beicheng Writers’ Association and also a public official of Beicheng.
Bai Qiming had seen Vice President Zhou at governnt tender etings, the son of Zhou Wennan, the highest ruling authority in Beicheng.
“Mr. Bai,” Vice President Zhou stopped mid-sentence, looking at Bai Qiming politely yet distantly.
Bai Qiming knew Vice President Zhou was as unapproachable as the mbers of the Jian Family. He noticed there was an elderly man beside Vice President Zhou, but Vice President Zhou didn’t introduce him.
He just smiled, extending an olive branch, “I wonder if President Zhou would have the ti to attend the party I’m hosting for my daughter at the end of the month.”
Vice President Zhou smiled but didn’t imdiately respond.
He wasn’t close with the Bai Family.
Bai Qiming still needed to arrange a venue with the hotel, so he planned to exchange a few words with Vice President Zhou before leaving. At that mont, the lift nearby opened and Bai Lian stepped out.
Bai Qiming, catching sight of the figure from the corner of his eye, paused mid-sentence.
He squinted at Bai Lian’s figure. Today she was wearing a white, loose-fitting T-shirt with two diagonally crossed green bamboos embroidered on it, simple and elegant.
Her deanor was restrained.
She was a stark contrast to the rebellious and uneducated Bai Lian in Bai Qiming’s mory.
When he first saw Bai Lian, Bai Qiming was taken aback for quite so ti.
Beside Bai Qiming, Vice President Zhou took a step forward as Qiu Xuezheng said to Bai Lian, “Perfect timing, the car is waiting outside.”
“I’m late, I’m sorry,” Bai Lian didn’t look at Bai Qiming but apologized to Qiu Xuezheng, “I didn’t realize you were waiting for downstairs.”
Vice President Zhou smiled and explained to Bai Lian, “Miss Bai, I told Master Qiu not to disturb you, worried that it might interrupt your practice.”
Qiu Xuezheng led Bai Lian outside, “Vice President, I’ll take her to wait outside for you.”
As he escorted Bai Lian out, they both ignored Bai Qiming.
Vice President Zhou was still curious who the special class mber was, so he said to Bai Qiming, “Mr. Bai, let’s et again so other ti.”
As Vice President Zhou spoke to Bai Qiming, the smile on his face faded, becoming more formal.
It was clear that he had a good relationship with Bai Lian.
Bai Qiming ca to his senses, almost subconsciously asking, “President Zhou, how do you know my daughter?”
