The White-Dress Woman, who was lucky enough not to be kicked, covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at the disheveled woman on the ground with the other, laughing gleefully.
The Middle-Aged Woman swatted away the staff member who reached out to help her, getting up from the floor herself. The smooth marble floor was a bit slippery, and she nearly slipped again before fully standing.
The man, whose face looked like a mess, forcefully pushed Song Pearl aside and rushed over to embrace the Middle-Aged Woman, anxiously asking, "Are you okay? Weren't you in a hurry to leave? Why did you come back?"
The woman was ungrateful, pushing and hitting the man. "Get lost, you hypocrite! I wouldn't have come back if I wanted to see you being all lovey-dovey with that woman! You were so eager to send me off just for her?"
Song Pearl, who had been roughly shoved aside by the unreasonable man, stepped aside calmly and glanced at the tall and attractive White-Dress Woman. She was indeed prettier than the hysterical Middle-Aged Woman.
"Gao Xiaoxia, are you here to pick up a client?"
No matter what the real situation was, there could be no more accidents now.
"Yes, the company sent me to pick up a client. I hadn't even left your Resort when this happened..." Gao Xiaoxia said innocently, following Song Pearl's lead.
"You little homewrecker, don't try to distance yourself!" The woman pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them at Gao Xiaoxia. "You're such a beautiful girl; why do you have to go after someone else's husband?"
The hotel staff discreetly stepped back, while some guests entering the lobby took a detour. However, some of the indecent images in the photos still caught their eyes.
Gao Xiaoxia squatted down, her face flushed as she hurriedly picked up the photos.
The tall and seemingly respectable man stood there silently, as if stripped bare in front of everyone, refusing to help either woman. It was as if he didn't care about the situation at all.
"He doesn't like you anymore. You two have been married for so long without any children, while I'm already pregnant with his child..." Gao Xiaoxia stood up. Since she could no longer hide it, she decided to go all out. With her head held high and a slight victorious smile on her beautiful face, she continued, "He was afraid of hurting you and wanted to wait a bit longer before telling you..."
Song Pearl waved at the staff nearby. "No matter what the situation is, please consider your own dignity. This is a public place; let's resolve this in your room!"
Her voice remained cold and devoid of warmth as she spoke, with no excess expression on her face.
It seemed that only then did the woman notice her. She shook off the man and approached Song Pearl, pointing at her. "You bumped into me earlier and thought you could just walk away? My foot is injured now; you need to take responsibility!"
Song Pearl glanced down at the woman's high-heeled shoes. "Fine, I'll take responsibility. Please return to your room and resolve your family issues..."
At that moment, her phone rang, and Wu Yuqian asked her to come to the VIP reception room.
"No way!" Gao Xiaoxia grabbed Song Pearl, who was about to leave, and pleaded, "There's something going on here, Pearl. You need to be our witness! What if they beat me up when I go back to the room with them?"
Song Pearl glanced at Gao Xiaoxia, unsure whether to feel pity or disdain for her.
"Call your family over for support."
"No! I can't let them know!" Gao Xiaoxia panicked. "They all know I've found a wealthy boyfriend. If my parents find out he's married, they'll be furious! If my sister were home, she could help me, but she's not here..."
"With things escalating like this, they'll find out sooner or later." Song Pearl pursed her lips. "Xiao Xia, you're such a smart girl; why do you like doing foolish things?"
Although she didn't want to contact Qing Wenyu, she still dialed his number. "Your company's client issues are too many; I hope you can send two trustworthy people over to assist! Also, if possible, send some more staff to help! And what are your salespeople doing? Don't they greet clients when they arrive?"
By this time, Song Pearl was getting a bit angry; her already harsh tone became even less pleasant.
Even though they had known each other for several years and were no strangers, it was still the first time Song Pearl had taken the initiative to call him.
"Okay, I understand."
Qing Wenyu hung up with a slight smile; it was quite rare to hear Song Pearl lose her temper.
When Song Pearl arrived at the VIP reception room, the Bald Guest had already vented his anger and was sitting in a chair, panting heavily. "Are you the general manager here?"
Upon seeing Song Pearl, he stared at her with wide eyes and scrutinized her from head to toe. "If you're going to have someone impersonate the general manager, at least find someone with a better image and demeanor!" He pointed at Wu Yuqian. "Like her; she would make a better general manager than you..."
Song Pearl nodded and smiled. After revealing the truth, it was the first time she smiled genuinely, hoping it was just an ordinary smile that wouldn't affect anyone.
As it turned out, Song Pearl was overthinking.
The Bald Guest's bulging eyes fixated on her. "What are you laughing at? You don't have the demeanor of a general manager!"
"This is my work ID." Song Pearl presented her ID. Since many people didn't believe she was the general manager, she had specially made a unique work ID for herself. It worked quite well in critical moments and was enough to impress people.
Her actions were inspired by a mischievous spirit, and that spirit seemed to have many credentials, all with neat photos, under the name Zhang Yunye.
But who would have thought that her true identity was actually her invisible bodyguard!
"Is she really the general manager?" Bald Guest glanced at the photo on the work ID and asked Wu Yuqian and Yuan Peng beside him.
"Yes, this is our general manager."
"This photo doesn't even look as good as her in person!" Bald Guest scoffed, "No wonder the conditions at Resort are so poor; the general manager is just nauseating to look at!"
"Let's discuss business once you're no longer feeling nauseous," Song Pearl said with a polite smile, then turned to the young man who had stood up. He had a round face and fair skin, looking quite approachable.
His demeanor was much calmer than Bald Guest, and when he saw Song Pearl looking at him, he hurriedly said, "My daughter was injured on the mountain by a White Goose, and although the doctors said she's fine after being taken to the hospital, she was frightened. Your Resort needs to give me a solution... Also, while a White Goose is not like a dog, who knows if there will be any aftereffects from a bite... You must provide me with a guarantee that if my child experiences any discomfort in the future, you will be responsible!"
Although he stammered a bit, he still spoke with conviction.
Before Song Pearl could respond, Wu Yuqian interjected, "So what you're saying is that if your child has any headaches or fevers in the future, we at Resort should take responsibility?" She chuckled lightly, "Even without being pecked by a goose, who can guarantee they won't get sick for life? Do you think that's possible?"
