"Where do you want to keep a cat?" Qing Wenyu pushed the cat that was curled up on his lap away and turned his attention to Song Pearl, noticing that her eyes were different from usual, cold and distant.
"It can be kept at the Resort or the Ecological Aquaculture Farm to catch mice," Song Pearl said, glaring at the White Cat that had run far away, gritting her teeth.
Tian Yue laughed, "Pearl, look at you; you've scared the cat away!"
Did I? Song Pearl touched her face; there was no mirror.
The matter was soon brushed aside, and the cat was not mentioned again. Whenever Song Pearl came back later, it would run far away from her sight.
After taking a shower in the evening and just lying down, her phone rang at an inconvenient time.
Song Pearl picked up her phone and saw it was Yuan Peng calling.
"What is it?"
"President Song, a very difficult customer has arrived at the Resort and is insisting on seeing you right now!" Yuan Peng said, sounding somewhat exasperated.
No one wanted to be disturbed at this late hour.
"What happened?"
"If you don't come, he says he will call to report us to the Resort. You should come!" Yuan Peng said. "Is Wen Yu there? Should I come pick you up?"
Qing Wenyu was still watching TV in the living room. Song Pearl thought for a moment and replied, "No need; Qing Wenyu will take me there."
"You still have to go to the Resort at this hour? Are those middle and senior managers just sitting around doing nothing?" Qing Wenyu said, though he was quite unhappy, he still acted as Song Pearl's free driver and took her to the entrance of a villa in Area One of the Resort.
"I'll be waiting for you here." He parked the car by the roadside.
As she got out of the car, a chill hit her, and Song Pearl sneezed several times. She rubbed her nose and saw Yuan Peng standing at the door with the housekeeping manager.
"I'm sorry, President Song. I apologize for disturbing you tonight!" The housekeeping manager said awkwardly, "It's just that this customer specifically requested to see you!"
The young man leaning against the door had a mischievous smile on his face, his shirt unbuttoned, hands in his pockets, looking at Song Pearl with amusement.
Isn't he afraid of catching a cold? Song Pearl thought to herself.
"Song Pearl. Here we meet again! Your resort's service is truly thoughtful!" he said with a grin.
This young man with peach blossom eyes seemed to be named Jin Weicheng, right?
Song Pearl smiled, "Hello, welcome to Jinshan Resort. Is there anything about our service that you are dissatisfied with?"
"I came here because of the reputation. It truly lives up to its name; when the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked..." Jin Weicheng laughed strangely and reached behind the door to pull out a woman.
"This person is one of your staff members, right?"
Gao Xiaoxia's hair was messy. She was shivering slightly, dressed in a waitress uniform, clearly one of their staff members.
"Pearl!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling like a startled deer.
"She is one of our newly hired waitstaff from not long ago. If you have any dissatisfaction, please let me know," Song Pearl said, noticing Gao Xiaoxia's flushed face and already having an inkling of what had happened.
Jin Weicheng narrowed his peach blossom eyes, his playful smile deepening as he looked at Song Pearl leisurely and said, "No. I'm very satisfied; I just didn't expect that you also provide services for accompanying customers to sleep. I called you over just to ask, does sleeping together mean you have to take responsibility afterward?"
Song Pearl looked at Jin Weicheng, who had a nonchalant and roguish demeanor, and felt an urge to slap him. She then glanced at Gao Xiaoxia, unable to believe that she would shamelessly throw herself at him.
"I think there might be some misunderstanding; please clarify," she said gently, her smile still intact.
"I am a handsome young man in my prime, and I come from a strict family. Not just anyone can marry me!" Jin Weicheng scoffed, shaking his shirt to reveal two not-so-toned abs. "Did you not see how we look right now? While I am quite curious about what will happen next, I still need to ask for clarity, right?"
"Alright," Song Pearl turned to Gao Xiaoxia. "Xiao Xia, what exactly happened?"
"This gentleman ordered late-night snacks from the Resort, but he wanted fresh Goat Milk. I just brought it to him," Gao Xiaoxia said, lowering her head and speaking softly. "Then I knocked on the door, which was not closed, so I went in and saw him coming out of the bathroom naked..."
Song Pearl looked at Jin Weicheng. "Is that true?"
"That's how it is!" Jin Weicheng continued to smile. "What did you ask her next?"
Song Pearl turned back to Gao Xiaoxia.
"And then, he put on clothes and asked me to serve him Goat Milk..." Gao Xiaoxia stammered. "Then he told me to sit down and listen to him talk, even performed magic tricks for me, and then..."
Song Pearl interrupted Gao Xiaoxia, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Jin Weicheng. "It is indeed a mistake on our staff's part; she should not have engaged in conversation with you. I will handle this matter seriously. As for your request for companionship, we do not offer such services here."
Jin Weicheng laughed, his smile laced with disdain. "Is an apology all it takes? In such an environment, who would dare stay here again? You need to compensate me for my emotional distress!"
"Fine!" Song Pearl glanced at Yuan Peng beside her and instructed, "This Mr. Jin will have his accommodation and travel expenses waived during his stay here. You two will act as his free guides and accompany him around the Resort."
Then she turned back to Jin Weicheng. "Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
"Have him as my guide?" Jin Weicheng pouted and leaned closer to Song Pearl, speaking in a suggestive tone. "Unless you personally accompany me, I will have to file a complaint against your Resort!
Song Pearl took a step back, looking at this shameless person with some displeasure. She bit her lip and said, "Do as you please!"
With that, she turned around and left with a few people.
"Hey! This woman! So arrogant!" Jin Weicheng was stunned by Song Pearl's actions, his mouth agape. He lifted his foot to step out the door but ultimately stomped his foot in frustration and slammed the door shut.
Qing Wenyu's car was still parked by the roadside. At the intersection, Yuan Peng and the housekeeping manager were silent.
Song Pearl stared at Gao Xiaoxia, who was hanging her head in regret, biting her teeth in frustration.
There must be something detestable about a pitiful person. She only wanted to help her, but it seemed to have brought trouble to the Resort.
"Xiao Xia, if you want to continue staying at the Resort, then go work at the Ecological Aquaculture Farm," Song Pearl said helplessly.
"Pearl, I can't do manual labor!" Gao Xiaoxia looked at Song Pearl pitifully. "I can't handle tasks like planting rice or raising animals, and I can't be in the sun; my skin will get dark..."
"Then there’s no suitable position for you at the Resort. You’ll have to seek other opportunities!" Song Pearl finished coldly and got into the car. If anyone thought she was a kind-hearted person who could be bullied, they were mistaken.
The car drove away, leaving Gao Xiaoxia pale as she looked at the housekeeping manager. "Sister Li, I really didn’t do anything. Can you please keep me here?"
"The general manager has given orders; I don’t have that authority," the housekeeping manager replied angrily. She had never liked Gao Xiaoxia, and now that trouble had arisen, she was even more upset. "Don’t think that being pretty will help you catch a wealthy husband at the Resort!"
"Assistant Yuan!" Gao Xiaoxia turned to Yuan Peng. "Can you arrange any work for me at the Ecological Aquaculture Farm?"
"How about raising wild boars?" Yuan Peng thought for a moment and suggested. "It’s an easy job; you can give it a try."
"Alright! Then please let them know; I'll report there tomorrow." Gao Xiaoxia lowered her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
"You can just go directly, no need to check in," the Housekeeping Manager said as he bid farewell to Yuan Peng and walked away. Yuan Peng stopped to explain to Gao Xiaoxia, "That area in the back mountain is directly managed by the General Manager..."
After handling this matter, it was already midnight. As for the outcome, Song Pearl did not care; she had been having a rough time lately, always encountering troublemakers. She leaned back in her seat and sighed.
"It's too late; let's just go home!" Qing Wenyu drove toward their residence.
"What's wrong? Is the client difficult to deal with?" he asked upon hearing Song Pearl's sigh.
He had never heard her sigh before.
"I ran into a troublemaker; he's the son of that scoundrel, President Jin!" Song Pearl rubbed her temples. "He threatened to complain about the Resort."
"Did he anger you?"
"With a clear conscience, I have nothing to fear. Let him be! If running the Resort means putting up with such scoundrels, I might as well stay home!"
"You’re not a newcomer anymore; with over two years of work experience, why do you still get so easily upset?" Qing Wenyu chuckled. "Isn't this kind of behavior detrimental to the future development of the Resort?"
"But I don't want to give in to a thug!" Song Pearl took a deep breath. "I just feel like this person is looking for trouble."
When they returned home and opened the door, a strange atmosphere greeted them in the unoccupied space.
"You've been around cats; you need to wash up before you can sleep," Song Pearl reminded Qing Wenyu before entering the bedroom.
"Now you have a cleanliness obsession? I didn't see you react like this around those pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep at the Ecological Aquaculture Farm!"
Qing Wenyu changed his clothes and headed for the bathroom.
Song Pearl lay in bed, suddenly remembering that Qing Wenyu hadn't had Goat Milk for a while. She couldn't help but smile; after all, she had been following Tian Yue's health recipes, and he seemed to be doing just fine.
In the morning, they each had two fried eggs with a few slices of bread and Goat Milk, casually resolving breakfast. After the meal, Qing Wenyu gentlemanly offered to take her to the Resort, which left Song Pearl feeling a bit flattered.
When Song Pearl arrived at the office, she was surprised to find a bouquet of roses on her desk. She was slightly taken aback; having lived this long and now being married, it was still the first time someone had sent her flowers.
"Who sent these?" she pushed the flowers aside.
"President Song, a customer sent them to you," the staff member said as they finished tidying up the office and stood at the door.
"A customer?" Song Pearl didn't pay much attention and began handling her work.
"President Song, that customer from last night has taken things online?" Yuan Peng hurried over, anxious as he spoke to Song Pearl. "Maybe we should have been more accommodating last night!"
"More accommodating!" Song Pearl frowned elegantly. "He already insulted me; I couldn't have done better. We just need to do our jobs well; those who are clear will remain clear. We shouldn't care too much about what's online! Listen, negative news is also a form of publicity, isn't it?" (To be continued...)
