Cheng Mingxiang bowed to him and was about to leave.
"Don't leave in a hurry, just sit there for a while."
"But……"
Being alone in the room with the male guest made Cheng Mingxiang feel restless. Among the male guests staying at the hotel, some would tease the female waitresses responsible for reception. However, the man in front of her didn't look like that kind of person. The reason Cheng Mingxiang was restless was because she was afraid of being gossiped about by other colleagues.
"Are you too busy?" Seeing Cheng Mingxiang's coquettishness, the customer couldn't help but ask, "Let me say hello to the counter."
The guest noticed Cheng Mingxiang's uneasiness and immediately dialed the intercom phone on the table. He held the phone and waited for the other party to answer, always smiling at Cheng Mingxiang.
"I want to talk to you more. I'm very familiar with the proprietress here. Do I need to get her permission first?"
There was a response from the other end of the phone, and the customer said to the phone: "Is the boss lady here? Oh, it's you! I'm Xiao Long."
Only then did Cheng Mingxiang know the other party's last name. Unable to leave the room, she sat awkwardly in a chair.
"No, Miss Cheng Mingxiang's service is really attentive. I want to chat with her some more. Now, I'm in good spirits. Is it okay to chat for another ten minutes?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to say there was no problem, and Cheng Mingxiang also heard the laughter coming from the landlady.
"Thank you! What? I won't delay her for too long. By the way, bring another bottle of wine."
Putting down the phone, the guest sat on the chair and said happily: "I have already said hello to the landlady, please feel free to stay."
Despite this, Cheng Mingxiang still said hesitantly: "I may not be a good partner to chat with."
"No, I have worked in the workplace. I can roughly guess the person's origin, upbringing, and personality just by looking at him."
"It's so scary." Cheng Mingxiang smiled, "Thanks to you if you don't mind, I'll sit down and not bother you."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Besides, I've already said hello to the landlady and want to chat with you for a while longer."
"What are we talking about?"
"Forgive me for asking, are you married?"
"Well, what do you think? If I had a husband, I wouldn't have to do this job in public."
"Most people will use such complaints to prevaricate. I want to know the real answer." The guest smiled and sounded very sincere.
"Why do you ask this question?" Cheng Mingxiang asked gently.
"Because I'm very interested in you. Well, please don't get me wrong. I'm not secretly trying to abduct you. I just want to get to know you better."
"I don't know what to say." Cheng Mingxiang was at a loss. "You staring at me like this make me very uncomfortable."
"What's the actual situation? I guess you don't have a husband, right?"
"Yeah." Cheng Mingxiang replied bluntly.
"That's right. Do you live here?"
"Yes... I take one day off a week and go back to my apartment. But, I go back to doing laundry and cleaning."
"Did you break up with your husband?"
"Yes."
"Is it because of his death or other factors?"
"he died."
"Oh, do you have any children?"
"No."
"It's not a burden... Maybe you think it's boring for me to ask, do you have someone you like?" There was still a smile in the male guest's eyes, but his eyes seemed to be asking Cheng Mingxiang to answer seriously.
"Not yet." Cheng Mingxiang lowered her gaze and replied.
"Really? It's impossible for a gentle and beautiful woman like you to have no admirers, right?"
"Not at all. Besides, I'm not young anymore."
"How old are you?" the guest asked and then said, "Well, I can probably guess it."
"Then, try your best to guess. Because of this, I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts."
"There's always someone seducing you, right? Especially when you work in a place like this, customers will inevitably flirt with you."
"It's all just an act."
"So, you really don't have any suitors?"
"Well, really not." Cheng Mingxiang smiled deliberately, "It seems like you are proposing marriage to me, and it is also like an identity investigation."
"Maybe I'm really proposing marriage to you." The guest also joked, "By the way, you just said your monthly salary is nearly 5,000, so do you think this salary is good?"
"Well, I feel very satisfied. You can't get so much in other hotels. Although the working hours are a bit longer, there's nothing we can do about it."
Cheng Mingxiang raised his eyes and looked at the guest. He seemed to be thinking about something. He just mentioned doing it in the workplace. Is he really the boss of the company? Could it be that he sees my good service attitude and wants me to work in his company?
However, the matter remains somewhat shrouded in secrecy. If the other party is interested in poaching, there is no need to come forward in person, just ask a third party to mediate here privately. Moreover, when the guest left her to chat, he specifically reported it to the hotel proprietress... Thinking of this, Cheng Mingxiang became more and more puzzled.
It was already past five in the morning when Cheng Mingxiang left the male guest in 306.
Usually by about four o'clock in the morning, the other waitresses on duty would have squeezed into bed and fallen asleep. When Cheng Mingxiang was preparing to go to bed that day, she always felt as if they were half-closing their eyes and listening to the sound of her undressing and taking off her belt.
Normally at this time, they would have heard regular snorting and teeth grinding sounds, but in the darkness now, they seemed to be holding their breath and secretly watching her movements, probably guessing that Cheng Mingxiang had been alone with the male guest in Room 306 for more than an hour. what happened.
Cheng Mingxiang was mentally prepared for such a situation. She deliberately lay down on the bunk with big movements, making the bed make a noise, which made a middle-aged waitress sleeping next to her smack her lips vigorously before turning over and falling asleep.
In the darkness after the lights were turned off, Cheng Mingxiang stared blankly at the ceiling with her eyes open. Strangely, what caught her eyes was the face of the male guest who had just sat across from him in Room 306.
Although the other party really wanted to keep Cheng Mingxiang, he couldn't see any evil intentions. When a customer shows his lust and intends to touch a woman, Cheng Mingxiang can tell it from his eyes, and looking at each other for such a long time makes her a little nervous. On the other hand, the elegant man always maintained a calm attitude.
He leaned slightly to listen to Cheng Mingxiang's speech, and it was obvious that his attitude was very sincere. Originally he just wanted to have a few drinks with Cheng Mingxiang and have a casual chat, but later he even postponed taking a bath and chatted with her for more than an hour. During this time, he did not move his position or take the opportunity to get closer to her. Yet, she could still sense that he had some purpose behind him. Although Cheng Mingxiang couldn't explain clearly, it seemed like he was testing her in some way.
At first, she imagined that the other party might be the owner of a certain hotel and wanted to poach her there. However, this did not seem to be the case. The other party seemed to be making some kind of deal with her, and the proprietress of the hotel seemed to know the guest's identity. Although she didn't tell Cheng Mingxiang her origin immediately, she felt that the other party was unfathomable.
Cheng Mingxiang finally fell asleep. When she woke up, the morning sunlight had already poured into the room. Colleagues got up one after another and were putting on makeup and getting ready to go to work. Cheng Mingxiang also got up. She thought to herself that if she looked unnatural at this time, she would definitely be criticized, so she acted as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, the other colleagues didn't say much to her, but started chatting casually.
However, the fact that she chatted with the male guests in room 306 last night must have left a grudge in the hearts of her colleagues. At this time, their hearts were full of doubts: What on earth were these two people doing after staying in the room for more than an hour?
Cheng Mingxiang changed into casual clothes silently. When one of his colleagues saw this, he deliberately said:
"Mingxiang, are you on vacation today?"
"Oh, yes."
Cheng Mingxiang knew very well what her colleague was going to say next.
"Where are you going somewhere nice later?"
"There's no good place to go. I've been busy for a week and I'm so exhausted that I can only go back to the apartment and sleep."
"It's better to go back to your own home if you want to sleep."
After he finished speaking, the colleagues who had finished the night shift had sneers on their faces. Cheng Mingxiang didn't answer and was doing her own thing.
