8:45 pm, Huangge Hotel near City A F.
Anhao had just arrived by taxi, but before she got out of the car, she received a call. It was Minister Qin who urged her to deliver the things to Zuo Hancheng tonight.
Anhao helplessly agreed to get out of the car. She held the design drafts and the exquisite gift box in her hands. When she reached the hotel entrance, she showed her ID as a staff member of the design department. Only then did the hotel staff allow her to enter.
It had to be said that Zuo Hancheng had been staying in hotels quite frequently in the past few years. Whenever she heard about him recently, she had never heard of him staying at home.
Thinking back to what Lin Qing had said, had he really not returned to the Gilt Scenic Garden for the past three years?
Anhao paused and walked to the door of the room that Minister Qin mentioned. She saw that the door was open and was stunned for a moment. She walked over and heard the sound of someone talking inside.
âMr. Mott, the fragrance in the room has been adjusted. I guarantee that there is no special smell and it will not affect Mr. Zuoâs sense of smell.â
âThis fragrance is only used to calm the nerves and help you sleep. It doesnât have the harmful ingredients of sleeping pills, right?â
âNo, Mott, donât worry. Our hotelâs fragrance is famous, and there are absolutely no harmful ingredients. If youâre worried, I can give you a piece, and you can take it elsewhere to check the ingredients.â
âNo need. I also heard that your hotelâs fragrance is good, so I specially asked you to prepare fragrance before President Zuo comes back to see if it can improve his sleep. If it really works, if we buy this fragrance from your hotel in the future, can you sell it to the outside world?â
âIâm not sure about that, but our hotel rarely sells anything of our own. These are all prepared for our guests. As for Mr. Zuoâs insomnia, you can talk to our hotelâs general manager.â
âAlright, thanks. Letâs leave after weâre done packing. President Zuo will be back soon.â
The conversation inside stopped. Anhao was standing at the door. When Mobai walked out, he saw her standing at the door. He was even more surprised that Anhao was here. After walking out, he looked at her, then looked at the other places in the corridor. Finally, he stopped in front of her and looked at her.âAnhao? Why are you here?â
âSince youâre here, itâs easy.âAnhao smiled and raised the gift box in her hand.ââThis is what our Minister Qin asked me to send over. There are also the new design drafts for this week. I need President Zuo to look over them. Then help me give these to him.â
As she spoke, Anhao was about to stuff the gift box into Mobaiâs arms.
Mobai saw the thing she had stuffed into her hands and immediately withdrew his hand. At the same time, he smiled and said,ââThere are rules to this gift. Since Minister Qin asked you to send it, there must be a reason for you to send it. I canât transfer it in the middle. Moreover, President Zuo hasnât returned yet.â
âMobai, please help me keep it. Iâm in a hurry to go back and donât have time to wait here.â
Mobai was still smiling, but he cleverly avoided the thing in Anhaoâs hand.ââPresident Zuo is resting in the lobby of the hotel. Two people from the Chamber of Commerce and the provincial leaders have come to talk to President Zuo about the follow-up of what they said today. It has been more than half an hour. They should be back soon.â
Anhao was about to speak when Mobai pointed at the room behind him.ââThis door is open. You can go in and wait.â
âNo need. Iâll wait outside.â
Seeing that she couldnât get through to him, Anhao didnât force him anymore. She took a step back with the gift box in her hand, her eyes slowly filled with embarrassment and displeasure.
Mobai saw the awkwardness in her expression and immediately smiled.âYouâre not an outsider. Didnât you enter President Zuoâs office as you pleased in the past? Thereâs nothing in this room that canât be seen. You can go in.â
âNo thanks.â Anhao stubbornly stood outside the door.
Mobai raised his eyebrows. After looking at her for a while, he nodded.âThen wait for a while. Iâll go to the lobby to check on the situation.â
Anhao didnât say anything. Just as Mobai was about to leave, the phone in her pocket rang.
She put down the gift box in her hand and picked up the phone. After hearing the series of things that the person on the other end of the phone said, Anhao said softly,ââIâll transfer the money before midnight tonight. It wonât delay progress. However, I donât have much on hand right now. Iâll transfer 80,000 first and make up 20,000 in a few days. Is that okay?â
Anhao heaved a sigh of relief after receiving permission from the other side. As she hung up the phone, she suddenly saw Mobai still standing in front of her.
It was as if he had heard what she said on the phone and stopped in his tracks.
âArenât we going to the lobby?â Anhao asked him.
Mobai looked back at her.â
â..âAnhaoâs expression paused for a moment before she said calmly,ââFortunately, I have hands and feet to work on my own. Money is something that I donât feel like I need when I donât use it. When I really need it, 1 realize that itâs not enough, so Iâm a little tight for the time being.â
âHow much money do you lack?â Mobai looked at the design drawing in her hands again.ââNot on account of your relationship with President Zuo in the past, but on account of the fact that you and I are considered old friends, if you have any problems, you can tell me.â
âItâs okay. I can handle it myself. Normally, they would be able to scrape together some money by taking on some odd jobs. It was just some living expenses.âAnhao smiled but didnât say anything.
Mobai raised his eyebrows at the same time.â Youâre an architect. Have you done any research on interior design?ââ
âYes, I studied interior design for three months in my second year in the United States. However, the domestic interior design industry is saturated now, and thereâs no special place to make money, so I specialize in architectural design.â
âIn that case, a friend of mine has a new house that needs to be designed. Heâs too busy and doesnât have time to think about the design plan. You can take some time to measure the size of the house and make a few designs and plans for him. If he accepts your plan, you can get at least 50,000 yuan as a design
fee.â
âFifty thousand?â âThat good?â Anhao was surprised. What friend of yours? Where was the house? Why would he give someone such a good design reward?
An interior designer shouldnât be able to earn so much money now, right?â
