CHAPTER 219: CHAPTER 206: LONG-PREMEDITATED

Could it be because of her?

"I heard that when he left, he was in a terrible state, muttering to himself, ’It’s over, it’s over. I’m afraid there’s no place for me in the hotel industry of Aus City anymore,’" Zhu Ping continued, "He suffered a lot this time, probably has to change careers, sigh."

Gu Qili put a dish on the tray and listened to Zhu Ping’s non-stop talking, but her mind was occupied with other thoughts.

She clearly hadn’t told Mu Shuoqian about the way Guo Jun bullied her, yet he seemed to know everything somehow. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Guo Jun was dismissed right after he made a mistake, and word got out that he couldn’t mix in the hotel industry anymore.

Was it possible that he had been secretly observing her every move in the restaurant, knew everything she did, and everything others did to her?

There might be someone in the restaurant who was his eyes and ears, reporting back to him regularly.

Who could it be?

"Qili, what are you thinking?" Zhu Ping had said several things to her, but she didn’t respond, so Zhu Ping had to raise her voice and call her a couple of times.

Gu Qili snapped back to reality and smiled: "Nothing."

Guo Jun and Qi Meihui are birds of a feather, such people deserve to be let go, there is nothing to sympathize with.

However, Gu Qili felt that Mu Shuoqian had actually been quietly plotting for a long time, so as soon as Guo Jun made a mistake, he was immediately fired. He wouldn’t pick on Guo Jun on purpose, but that didn’t mean Guo Jun could afford to make mistakes. Mu Shuoqian was always meticulous, how could he tolerate such a person who can’t present himself well bully his wife every day.

If that were the case, then Luan Yi and Qi Meihui, these two people also need to be extremely careful and not make any mistakes, otherwise, they might be the next ones Mu Shuoqian deals with.

With this thought, Gu Qili suddenly felt a chilling sensation. Fortunately, she was not his enemy. However, after the chills, there was an endless warmth; he respected her decisions, did not interfere with her work, but that didn’t mean he would completely ignore it, as she was clearing the way forward, he was an iron wall behind her.

"Qili, what are you smiling at?" Zhu Ping found her expression very strange, alternately zoning out and grinning.

Gu Qili quickly reined in her smile, "Nothing, desserts are coming out, let’s go help."

"Qili, otherwise our restaurant’s reputation will really suffer, we are vying for the general manager’s reception right now, and if such incidents occur, your efforts from yesterday will be in vain." Zhu Ping helped her put the used cutlery on the cleaning cart.

"I’m just outspoken and bold, that’s all."

"Why isn’t Manager Qi showing up? With such an incident, shouldn’t she be the first one to come forward and resolve it?" Zhu Ping shook her head.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, there were no more customers in the restaurant, and suddenly a notice for a meeting was announced, and Gu Qili put down the cup in her hand and went to gather with Kang Hongxiu.

The designated meeting area of the restaurant is the open space directly in front of the reception desk, where everyone is divided into two lines, male and female, and must maintain a graceful posture during the meeting, without showing any languid attitude.

Gu Qili didn’t expect Mu Shuoqian hadn’t left yet, and the ones conducting the meeting were him and Xiao Ran.

He stood to the side silent, with Xiao Ran delivering all the content.

Xiao Ran first summarized the day’s emergency incident, then announced Guo Jun’s dismissal. The higher-ups certainly act decisively, without any delay.

"I hope today’s incident can serve as a warning to everyone. If such incidents occur again, everyone must be extra vigilant and handle the situation properly without harming the hotel’s interests," Xiao Ran said, glancing at Gu Qili intentionally or unintentionally, "After Guo Jun’s dismissal, the position of restaurant supervisor is currently vacant. It would be too hasty to ask the HR department to recruit someone right now. Therefore, the president would like to hear everyone’s recommendations on who to appoint for the position on a temporary basis."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and whispered among themselves. Finally, someone raised their hand and said loudly, "I nominate Gu Qili."

Once the words were out, the others also raised their hands in agreement.

"Today’s situation was avoided from worsening thanks to Qili’s quick thinking, and she also brought honor to our restaurant yesterday."

"Yes, I also nominate Qili. She is upright, diligent, smart, and ambitious."

"Somebody murmured, not sure if that counts as a reason for the recommendation, but Gu Qili’s fluent foreign language skill indeed astonished him."
