CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 1114: PREPARING TO OPEN FOR BUSINESS

After walking more than ten steps, they arrived at the door of Private Room No. 3.

"Sir, this is Private Room No. 3."

The waiter stood respectfully to the side and made another inviting gesture toward the door of Private Room No. 3.

It was Chen Yang’s first time at this restaurant, and he was very satisfied with the waiter’s service attitude.

"Hmm."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Han and Annie followed behind and went in together.

Inside the private room, Yang Ruoxi was already waiting.

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Yang Ruoxi immediately stood up with a smile.

"You finally came. I’ve been waiting so long that the flowers have wilted. I was just about to call and ask where you were." Yang Ruoxi said.

Being among friends, Chen Yang naturally didn’t stand on ceremony.

He pulled out a chair right by the door and sat down with a smile, responding to Yang Ruoxi, "Annie and I got here as fast as we could, okay? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for arriving too early."

"Haha, yes, Ruoxi, we came as soon as we got the call. You really can’t blame us." Annie also sat down and said.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Yang Ruoxi was about to lash out and banter with him.

But unexpectedly, Annie spoke up for Chen Yang, so Yang Ruoxi angrily turned her attention to Annie.

"Oh, Annie, after just one day, you’re already taking that rascal’s side, huh? If you keep this up, I won’t help you anymore!" Yang Ruoxi said, pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Annie quickly grabbed Yang Ruoxi’s arm, laughing as she tried to smooth things over.

"Oh Ruoxi, I’m just being honest. Don’t be mad at me. I was wrong, okay?" Annie’s tone was a bit coy.

That tone worked on both men and women, and even the straightforward Yang Ruoxi couldn’t resist it.

She quickly softened.

"Alright, alright, I forgive you! But don’t let it happen again." Yang Ruoxi said seriously, looking at Annie.

In front of Yang Ruoxi, Annie was like an obedient little sister.

Hearing this, she immediately nodded like a pecking hen agreeing.

"Hehe, that’s more like it."

Seeing Annie nod, Yang Ruoxi began to smile again. She turned and pressed the call button on the wall behind her to signal the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Chen Yang and Li Han, watching these two characters from the side, exchanged glances and couldn’t help but shake their heads with helpless smiles.

After that, nobody said much. They drank some tea and beverages and waited for about ten minutes until all the dishes were served in the private room.

Seeing that the dishes were all served, they began to eat together.

At first, when they started eating, there wasn’t much conversation because they were all hungry, and the main focus was on eating.

Only after they were almost done eating did they start chatting.

Li Han already knew about what happened last night at the Dai Family.

And the hotel poisoning incident, Yang Ruoxi had also told Li Han, was actually masterminded by Gu Xuanyu behind the scenes.

Hearing this news, Li Han’s first reaction was one of great surprise, but upon thinking it over, it seemed normal.

After all, the Gu Family’s methods were something she had already experienced before.

Wasn’t it always like this?

"Annie, you need to be careful during this time. Try to stay by Chen Yang’s side as much as possible. Gu Xuanyu certainly won’t let things rest," Li Han said seriously.

Hearing this, Annie put down her chopsticks and nodded: "Yeah, I will, Sister Li Han."

"Good, as long as you stay by Chen Yang’s side, Gu Xuanyu can’t harm you. As long as you’re safe, everything else is minor." Li Han also nodded, speaking earnestly.

Hearing this, Annie nodded again and then said nothing more.

Li Han didn’t continue the topic either and instead started talking to Chen Yang about the hotel.

The hotel poisoning incident had already passed several days ago.

In those days, Chen Yang had done everything possible to restore the hotel’s reputation.

But whether the reputation was restored remained uncertain. Everything would be revealed when the hotel officially reopened tomorrow.

"Li Han, since the hotel is reopening tomorrow, I think we should promote it again, let everyone know about the improvements, and launch some discounts to achieve better results." Speaking of the hotel reopening, Chen Yang immediately thought of promotional activities.

Publicity is nothing compared to direct cash discounts and price cuts.

Actually, people are most concerned about their own interests. Discounts will certainly attract a lot of business back.

"Yes, you’re right. In fact, I was thinking the same thing today. I asked you to come over to discuss it. We plan to rush out an event tonight." Li Han said with a smile.

Chen Yang had already anticipated that Li Han would think of it since her reputation as a business elite was well-earned.

"Well, we’ve done all we can; the rest is up to fate." Chen Yang nodded and then began chatting about other things.

The four of them had much to talk about during this gathering.

Too many things had happened recently.

Annie’s marriage arrangement, Li Han’s hotel issues, Chen Yang’s business expansion, and even plans to become bigger and stronger while seeking more business opportunities.

These were all topics of interest.

The four of them had been in the private room since six or seven and stayed until after ten at night, when they finished all their conversations and prepared to leave.

Taking advantage of a bathroom break, Chen Yang went to the front desk to pay the bill.

When he returned to the room, he said, "Let’s go, it’s getting late, and we all have things to do tomorrow."

"Okay, sure."

Seeing Chen Yang return from the restroom, the three women also grabbed their bags, stood up, and left with him.

When they reached the front desk, Li Han wanted to pay the bill.

But she was told that Chen Yang had already paid.

Li Han smiled upon hearing this, said nothing, and followed Chen Yang out of the restaurant and back to the car.

Back in the car, Chen Yang immediately started the vehicle and drove toward the Lin Tianxia Hotel.

Over ten minutes later, the four of them arrived at the hotel.

"Ruoxi, Li Han, are you heading back today, or are you staying at the hotel?" In the parking lot, Chen Yang turned around and asked the two people in the back seat.

Yang Ruoxi replied, "My sister and I are staying at the hotel because there’s a lot to handle for tomorrow’s opening. I’m keeping her company."

Li Han nodded, indicating they weren’t returning today.

Seeing this, Chen Yang initially wanted to stay and help.

But thinking about the construction team at home and possible village matters, it didn’t seem convenient.

So he thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, although you’re busy, make sure to get some rest. Annie and I will head out. If you need anything, just give me a call."

"Okay, sure. If anything comes up, we’ll find you. It’s late, so you and Annie should head back. Be safe." Li Han also knew that Chen Yang had things to handle, so she didn’t say much and directly agreed.

Annie then exchanged a few parting words with Li Han, and the two left the car, departing from the underground parking lot.

His van was parked at the hotel’s entrance, not in the garage.
