Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2067 - 2056: Quick-Witted Xiaoqing

Whenever Xu Xiaoqing has some free time, she tries to pick up and drop off Xu Ruolan from work.Originally, Xu Ruolan didn't want to take up Xiaoqing's time, but after learning that her sister was almost bored to the point of mold waiting for the school to arrange an internship,

So she gave her a position as an assistant, partly as an early internship and partly to take over the family business ahead of time.

This is how Xu Xiaoqing ended up feeling resentful.

Being used to a carefree lifestyle, how could she adapt to the constraints of a corporate job.

When alone with her sister, Xu Xiaoqing could still be lazy and sneak in some downtime.

But as soon as there were outsiders present, she didn't dare anymore, instantly transforming into a proper office worker.

Like right now.

Xu Corporation is discussing a hotel acquisition deal, and Xu Ruolan, who always liked to do things herself, decided to check it out in person.

Since the boss was moving, as an assistant, Xu Xiaoqing naturally had to accompany the others.

Unfortunately, it's the kind of occasion Xu Xiaoqing hated the most, a group of people going around and around the hotel, with all kinds of insincere pleasantries.

To her, it was all terribly boring, she'd rather hide in the car and play on her phone.

But not attending was not an option, or else she'd be in for a scolding once home.

After touring the hotel lobby, the group headed towards the elevator.

"Please, Xu,"

The elevator space was limited, so as a mere assistant, Xu Xiaoqing naturally couldn't join the executives.

"Finally, a chance to relax,"

Watching the elevator doors close, Xu Xiaoqing decided to take a short break.

"Enjoying the air conditioning and sipping coffee feels wonderful,"

In the lobby's coffee room, Xu Xiaoqing felt as though she was reborn.

"Business matters are too bothersome. I definitely don't want to take over, or I'd be driven insane."

"Brother-in-law's advice was spot-on. Having enough money is good, no need to pour all your energy into this."

"Brother-in-law is something else, gone for so long without even a phone call. Could he be enchanted by another Fox Spirit? Well, this time he's done for."

Recalling that Fox Spirit sticking around the house, Xu Xiaoqing got annoyed.

She definitely didn't have Xu Ruolan's good disposition, actually allowing her to stay there.

"Aren't we sisters enough for him? Sneaking around like that. I won't forgive this! Yes! I'll ignore him for a month."

"Wouldn't a month be too long? How about half a month?"

"Half a month is fifteen days, seems a bit long too..."

Looking at the time, almost half an hour had passed, and Xu Xiaoqing couldn't sit still, unable to justify such a long break.

Rubbing her face, Xu Xiaoqing tried to force a slight smile.

Apparently, this is the smile etiquette for office workers.

It cannot be too serious, or it would appear rigid. It cannot be too lively, or it would leave an impression of frivolity.

"Working is the most troublesome thing ever."

Mumbling with her lips, Xu Xiaoqing walked towards the elevator.

Seeing the closed elevator, Xu Xiaoqing was dazed for a moment, then rushed over like the wind.

Still, she arrived a moment too late, the elevator had already closed.

"This shabby hotel should have closed long ago. The elevator is so slow."

In distress, Xu Xiaoqing pressed on the elevator panel frantically, but the more anxious she got, the slower the elevator seemed to descend.

Noting the curious glances around, Xu Xiaoqing's cheeks blushed awkwardly as she stepped aside, her mind filled with one thought.

"Did I just imagine things? Brother-in-law should be abroad. But..."

Recalling the silhouette that entered earlier, suspicion deepened in Xu Xiaoqing's eyes, she thought it was the same person.

If it were just that, she could let it go.

The crucial thing is, beside the possible silhouette of Ning Fan, there stood a tall blonde woman.

Dialing Ning Fan's phone, hearing yet again the notification that the phone was off, Xu Xiaoqing's eyes shifted, "No. I have to get to the bottom of this."

"They came from the front desk, seems like they just booked their room not long ago."

Arriving at the front desk, Xu Xiaoqing opened her mouth, words almost out before pivoting quickly, she pulled out her work badge, "I am the acquisition officer for Xu Corporation, instructed by our CEO to verify the reservation numbers, please cooperate with our work."

It's undeniable, Xu Xiaoqing is quite adept at leveraging her position.

The upcoming acquisition of Tianhong Hotel by the Xu Corporation is known throughout the hotel staff.

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's work badge, the receptionist didn't even consult her superior, enthusiastically opening the software backend.

Through this software, all the check-in information can be viewed.

"Please help me pour a cup of coffee, thank you."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Sending the receptionist away, Xu Xiaoqing input Ning Fan's name

"No search results found."

Seeing this line, Xu Xiaoqing naturally curled her lips, but within a second, her eyebrows knitted.

Beside the person with the possible silhouette of Ning Fan, there was indeed a blonde woman,

And the proximity between the two indicated a clear familiarity.

"Check for recent check-in information."

Looking at the guest information displayed in the software, there were over ten guests checked in today,

Blonde, foreign, female… seven or eight names matched these details.

No matter how mischievous Xu Xiaoqing could be, she couldn't disturb so many people.

Just then, the receptionist returned carrying the coffee, speaking with a smile, "Your coffee, please."

"Thank you."

Not turning her head, still fixed on the screen, the receptionist couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Xiaoqing's eyes shifted, she smiled and said, "I noticed your hotel receives a lot of foreign guests."

The receptionist spoke with a hint of pride, "When Metropolis's mayor visited Zhonghai, he stayed at our hotel, which attracted many foreign guests."

"Bragging about something from ten years ago. No wonder your hotel is getting worse."

Silently pouting, due to spending time with Xu Xiaoqing, she too had gained some insight into Tianhong Hotel.

"It seems your hotel is quite nice. Many foreign guests checked in today."

Noncommittally, Xu Xiaoqing continued, "Seems like someone checked in not long ago."

"Yes, a pretty girl from the Forest Kingdom."

"Oh!"

Xu Xiaoqing's eyes shifted, the receptionist's words revealed plenty of information, considering she had only seen a silhouette before.

"Is this the woman?"

Pointing at a photo, only the person on the passport matched the receptionist's description.

Looking at the doll-like, refined blonde girl in the photo, Xu Xiaoqing said somewhat sourly, "She really is beautiful."

"Such a gorgeous foreign woman, actually with a Huaxia man. Unbelievable."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoqing's eyes widened, a phrase echoing in her mind, "That's definitely them."

"Alright. I won't bother your work anymore."
