Chapter 1921: Chapter 1916: A Good Bird Chooses the Right Tree?
"Huh? Why does this name sound somewhat familiar to me! It’s as if I’ve heard it somewhere before!"
Upon hearing Song Yaling’s self-introduction, he took a closer look at her, muttering pensively to himself...
Qu Wei glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, "Of course it sounds familiar. She’s my classmate. You must have heard this name from me before."
"It seems that way, but I also feel like I’ve heard this name elsewhere. Of course, I might be mistaken."
He responded softly to Qu Wei while quickly waving his hand...
He thought it wasn’t important.
Hearing his brother’s carefree response, Qu Wei didn’t continue the topic.
He lazily looked at Song Yaling and said, "Yaling, I heard you don’t have a good job now. Why not come to work with me? As long as you ask, I’ll arrange it well for you, guaranteeing your satisfaction."
Song Yaling glanced at him and pointed at Hu Xiaobei, "Really? Can you also arrange something for my boyfriend?"
He looked at Hu Xiaobei and laughed, "Of course! We still need a janitor for the toilets. If he’s interested, he can start right now."
Because of Song Yaling, he had long been displeased with Hu Xiaobei...
So now, given the chance, he contemptuously sneered at him.
"Haha!"
Qu Wei’s brother burst into laughter upon hearing Qu Wei’s words.
After laughing, he sized up Hu Xiaobei a bit and said, "Are you Song Yaling’s boyfriend? My brother is interested in Song Yaling, so you should back off now! Otherwise, you’ll suffer in the future."
"Really? How bad will it be?"
Hu Xiaobei calmly retorted...
Feeling Hu Xiaobei’s calmness, he frowned...
Before he could say something threatening, he suddenly heard Qu Wei speak up first.
"Alright, stop threatening him! Today is a class reunion day, and I have to chat with others properly."
"Yes!"
He quickly nodded...
He felt a bit regretful at this moment.
Because it was clear that his brother Qu Wei had an interest in Song Yaling.
He knew he couldn’t compete with his brother, so naturally, he backed out of the competition.
At this moment, the elevator was full of people.
"Have you confirmed that President Song is in the topmost private room?"
"Confirmed! It seems President Song is here to attend a class reunion."
"So, she’s really not here for a surprise inspection?"
"Not necessarily, since she’s attending a class reunion, she might take the opportunity to look around. However, with President Song just making a cursory glance, she probably won’t notice much. After all, the people Qu Wei, the head of the HR department, hired are all quite remarkable."
"True, I have some impression of that Qu Wei from HR; he seems to have quite a knack for his job."
"Indeed! We should consider promoting Qu Wei well in the future. He obviously is Song Yaling’s classmate, but it’s not clear if he knows Song Yaling’s true identity!"
"Probably not, I reckon we are the only ones in the entire hotel aware of President Song’s true identity."
"True! If he knew, he would’ve mentioned this connection a long time ago."
As they exchanged words, the elevator door opened!
Taking a look at the empty space upfront, the energetic old man took a deep breath, saying, "Alright, let’s move along quickly."
"Okay!"
Agreeing, they walked out together with the old man.
They had barely taken two steps before the old man suddenly stopped.
This startled them.
They almost bumped into him.
After halting, they looked toward the old man and asked, "What’s wrong?"
The old man, looking solemn, turned his head, his gaze sweeping over each of their faces before speaking somewhat nervously, "Does this attire look alright? Or should I go back and change into something else?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless!
After a while, they chuckled awkwardly, "This outfit is quite dashing!"
"Yes, it’s really nice."
"You’re not lying to me?"
"Of course not!"
"Since that’s the case, let’s continue!"
"Alright!"
Agreeing once more, they followed along again.
This time, they didn’t stay too close, worried he might stop again.
But their concern was unwarranted.
Because he didn’t stop anymore during the subsequent journey.
...
"Yaling, a wise bird chooses a good tree to nest in! I believe I’m a better choice than that boyfriend of yours, so I think you should choose me. It’s only beneficial for you, with no downside, don’t you think?"
Within the private room, Qu Wei looked at Song Yaling and spoke condescendingly again.
Earlier, he planned to finish the meal before speaking out fully. However, he couldn’t hold it back anymore because Song Yaling had been ignoring him the entire time.
Upon hearing Qu Wei’s persuasion, Song Yaling looked at Hu Xiaobei and softly said, "But in my view, he’s a better choice than you are."
"What a joke! He’s better than me?"
With a cold sneer, he looked at Hu Xiaobei, arrogantly asking, "Tell me, what do you do for a living?"
With Qu Wei’s question, everyone turned their gaze toward Hu Xiaobei.
They were all particularly curious to know this as well.
Hu Xiaobei smiled faintly, looked at him, and said, "I’m a farmer. I work the land."
"A farmer? Haha! Song Yaling, did you hear that? He just works the land, and you still think he’s a better choice than me?"
"I still think so!"
Hearing the same response, he slapped the table hard.
After slapping, he stood up, coldly saying, "Are you just messing with me? He’s just a farmer; what right does he have to compare with me!"
...
Outside, the people arriving at the door heard such a frenzied growl...
It was Qu Wei’s voice!
"Who is he arguing with? Hopefully not with Song Yaling, otherwise, it would end badly!"
With such anxiety, they didn’t hesitate and quickly pushed the door open...
Soon, their expressions turned grim, for Qu Wei was coldly glaring at none other than Song Yaling.
"Who are you, you..."
Hearing footsteps, Qu Wei’s brother thought a waiter had arrived and prepared to berate them wildly.
But just as he started, he was dumbfounded, for those who came were all top-level hotel staff.
"Guaiguai!"
He was utterly humbled!
He knew he was nothing in front of them!
Not to mention himself, even his brother could only lower his head obediently before them, for the difference was simply too vast...
Seeing his brother’s intimidated demeanor, Qu Wei swiftly turned his head. Upon seeing the incoming folks, he seemed struck by lightning, trembling all over...
