Chapter 144: Divvying Positions

Through all the traffic, GuoGuo and Qiu Yan finally got to HeDong City’s Grand International Hotel. All along Shan JiaHao was waiting at the entrance. Once he saw GuoGuo had returned, he charged forward seemingly as if he also saw his own great aunt.

“Chief Feng, you got out of school, give me your backpack, I’ll help you with it.” Shan JiaHao had a brilliant smile. “Are you tired? What would you like to drink?”

How would GuoGuo not know Shan JiaHao’s intentions, nodding she threw her backpack to him. “Go and get me a bottle of something to drink, I will handle your matter.”

Shan JiaHao was grateful till he had snot and tears, “Chief Feng treats me well, from now on I, Shan JiaHao will definitely do my very best, to the day I die.”

“When I speak up there hasn’t been a time it was disregarded.” GuoGuo widely waved her hand, “From now on you’re the head of the security department of the Grand Panacea Hotel. For this I have the final say, even if my daddy comes I have the final say.”

Shan JiaHao smiled till his face creased up, “Chief Feng is Chief Feng, dominating! From now on this subordinate will greet you every day you get off school. Whatever you want to drink, in the future for a consecutive 365 days, I’ll get it for you to drink!”

“Soft drinks have so many additives, you can’t let her drink so much.” With one line from Qiu Yan, Shan JiaHao’s spine was full of cold sweat.

But in Shan JiaHao’s eyes, Qiu Yan and Yun-ge were not people he could offend, whatever they say must be kept in mind. But the temptation of being security chief was also so big; he still decided to take the risk, secretly giving Chief Feng a soft drink.

GuoGuo stood in the courtyard of the Grand Hotel, sizing the big hotel up and down. Because these few days the hotel hadn’t announced the sale, it was very quiet – all the guest rooms had turned off the lights. Upon thinking that from now on this belonged to them, GuoGuo felt pride; this year, she had got a good godfather, even more reliable than finding a husband…..

But Xu Yun this kind godfather who only gave but never asked was simply too rare – GuoGuo couldn’t help feeling lucky that she had come across a good mother. If not for Ruan QingShuang, how would she come across such a good godfather?

Everything was fate, GuoGuo could see that even though the Feng Clan had lost a lot in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but she knew that the heavens hadn’t abandoned her.

“Chief Feng, lets go and eat yes?” Shan JiaHao said, “Yun-ge and the others are upstairs waiting.” He said what he ought to; the objective for coming to greet GuoGuo was to confirm his position as the boss of the security department. If when they were eating no one supported him, then he would still have GuoGuo give support.

GuoGuo nodded. “Let’s go!”

Shan JiaHao instantly led the way in front, leading GuoGuo and Qiu Yan straight for five floors to a luxury room. Xu Yun and Ruan QingShuang and the others were all inside waiting.

The staff of the Grand Hotel hadn’t left – even though their boss had already been arrested and jailed, but they knew that there would definitely be a new boss. Today the new boss had taken the position, and each person had their wages increased by 100 Yuan – but the conditions were clear, if they didn’t do a good job they could be fired at any time.

Once the head of the kitchen Liang Shan went into the kitchen, first he fired two chefs – one was because he was slovenly, and the other was because when he sneezed he wouldn’t avoid kitchenware. Liang Shan directly said, “Get out!”

Those two chefs were dissatisfied and were about to get agitated with Liang Shan. In the end one of Liang Shan’s palms knocked one over, and one foot kicked one flying – the last chef didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, seriously listening clearly to Liang Shan’s rules of the kitchen, and nodding in agreement.

Lu WenYi told the service staff simple rules because all bad habits had to be corrected. Of course, Shan JiaHao was no less flashy; even though Xu Yun hadn’t had him go report to the security department, he had already gone and left some words, so everyone in the security department recognized him.

Seeing Shan JiaHao leading and calling out Chief Feng, everyone looked at each other, all piqued by this six or seven year old kid.

Under the gaze of many eyes of the many people, GuoGuo walked into the elevator, then went straight to the fifth floor. This kind of feeling was not at all ordinary.

The two of them arriving was long overdue, but no one minded. Ruan QingShuang was tired the whole day, after seeing GuoGuo she finally relaxed very much. The South City Tiger Trio and QiangZi each got up and greeted Qiu Yan.

“GuoGuo how is it? Do you like the gift that jiejie sent you?” Tang Jiu smiled and said, “I also reserved a room upstairs, from now on if I come to HeDong I won’t have to worry that I have no place to live – jiejie’s room also has a cactus, remember to help me water it.”

GuoGuo immediately sat down in the spot they saved for her, and said to Tang Jiu, “Little Jiu-jiejie don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of your cactus. Um……What is Little Jiu-jiejie going to do? You’re not going to live here?”

“Mmh, three days from now is the first of October, so the day after tomorrow I have to take Xu Yun to go to JiBei City, and I’ll have to trouble GuoGuo for the cactus.” Tang Jiu said, “This time there are many affairs when I go, perhaps it will take several days to handle. Will GuoGuo miss me?”

GuoGuo glanced at Xu Yun, and then looked at Tang Jiu, inside truly fearing that Tang Jiu would take Xu Yun away and not come back. Don’t think that GuoGuo was very loose with her mouth – if she really traded her little daddy for a hotel, she definitely wouldn’t agree to it. Thinking of this, GuoGuo pursed her lips a bit.

“It’s not like I won’t come back.” Xu Yun saw the situation and couldn’t help feeling a bit distressed – truly he hadn’t been caring of this daughter in vain.

GuoGuo said with a tearful expression, “Then how many days?”

“Very quickly.” Xu Yun extended his hand and pinched GuoGuo’s little face.

Tang Jiu watched in heartache – if she didn’t know their relationship, she would’ve thought that GuoGuo was truly his own child. “How about this, GuoGuo’s school definitely also will let you off for National Day, let’s not go earlier, the first of October is not too late, we will arrive the night before.”

“I’m fine with anything.” Xu Yun had no opinion, since he had promised for her matters, he would listen to her arrangements, this hotel couldn’t be taken for nothing.

GuoGuo heard and became excited, “Can I also go to JiBei City? Little Jiu-jiejie, you’re not kidding?”

“Not kidding, what’s wrong with taking my little sister to have a look at my home?” Tang Jiu shrugged, “What a joke, you’re my little sister, a member of the Tang Family. What’s wrong with a Tang family member going to participate in the Tang Family Gathering?”

GuoGuo heard and was terribly touched, this older sister was truly not recognized in vain, wasn’t it just giving a hotel? And she even treated her as a member of the Tang Family.

“Little Jiu-jiejie, since you’ve said that, then the Tang Family’s affairs are my affairs. My affairs are everyone’s affairs!” GuoGuo spoke and smacked the table saying, “If you have any troubles then tell me, don’t ever not treat me seriously, maybe I might be able to help.”

Xu Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry inside, if they took this little ancestor over, who knows what kind of trouble she might stir up. “You not stirring up chaos is a good thing, we’re not expecting you to be able to do anything.”

GuoGuo rolled her eyes at Xu Yun, “Daddy, don’t look down on people so much, who knows if me going will help even more than you.”

Even though Qiu Yan didn’t want to let GuoGuo follow the chaos, but seeing how excited she was she didn’t say anything. And also October 1st was once the Feng Clan’s big family gathering, Qiu Yan was also afraid that it would bring up unhappy memories for GuoGuo.

With that GuoGuo immediately worried about Ruan QingShuang’s feelings, and quickly said to her, “Mommy, after playing for a few days I’ll immediately come back. Hehe, but don’t worry, before leaving I will definitely arrange for good work, but it seems that you have already arranged pretty much everything, only not setting up the security department yet right?”

Shan JiaHao heard in excitement, she was giving him support.

“Even though indeed Shan JiaHao isn’t qualified, but if you don’t give him a chance, he will never be qualified. The hotel was given by my sister, I have the right to speak, make an exception and appoint Shan JiaHao as the boss of the security department.” After speaking GuoGuo looked at Shan JiaHao.

Xu Yun smiled, that kid was really capable of hanging onto a thick leg, directly getting GuoGuo as his backer. But he didn’t care, whatever, anyways no one in HeDong City dared to cause them trouble.

Shan JiaHao proudly glanced at his brother Shan HongNing, as if to say: How about it? Weren’t you looking down on me, now I’m doing pretty well!

“Mommy, what do you say?” GuoGuo said to Ruan QingShuang.

Ruan QingShuang didn’t mind much and only nodded saying, “Anything is fine, right now I’m still dreaming, not quite believing this is real. Whatever it is you all can arrange it, anything is fine for me.”

“In this case, everything I should have set up has already been done.” Xu Yun said to QiangZi, “In these days think of maintaining the business at the old shop, and go back and forth to this hotel. Right, look for someone to change the name of the hotel, GuoGuo says it sounds bad.”

QiangZi looked at GuoGuo, “Chief Feng, what will it be called?”

“HeDong’s Grand Panacea Hotel.” GuoGuo said directly without thinking. “Make the characters a bit bigger, this is mom’s wish.”

Ruan QingShuang looked at GuoGuo, feeling a bit of warmth in her heart. Even though GuoGuo wasn’t birthed by her, but she was just like she birthed her herself.

“Over the next few days I have to go to JiBei City for a while, I’ll leave things over here for you to handle. Shuang-jie alone definitely won’t be able to handle them all, and she also has not managed such a large hotel. You guys will have more to do; tonight if we aren’t drunk we aren’t going home, and tomorrow, each to their positions.” With that Xu Yun motioned for Shan JiaHao to pour the liquor.

Shan JiaHao instantly obediently got the liquor – by now the dishes from the kitchen were ready, all personally guided by Liang Shan, the waiters under Lu WenYi’s direction began serving the dishes.

And so HeDong City’s Grand Panacea Restaurant opened for business. What made GuoGuo feel a bit at loss was, if today’s events had been spread, definitely many people would come to give money; with the current low-keyness, wasn’t it just a big loss?

Of course, the South City Tiger Trio knew about this; tomorrow once they told the news, there would definitely be an endless stream of people coming to give money and flowers. After all, Xu Yun and Ruan QingShuang’s face was already placed high, high up – those who understood a bit of propriety and those who made a living on this lifestyle wouldn’t let a big temple go by without worshiping.

That is to say, this was considered the biggest ‘temple’ in HeDong City eh? So far at least, there was already no one in HeDong City that dared to say they were a level above them.
