8:45 pm, Huangge Hotel near City A F.
Anhao had just arrived by taxi, but before she got out of the car, she received a call. It was Minister Qin who urged her to deliver the things to Zuo Hancheng tonight.
Anhao helplessly agreed to get out of the car. She held the design drafts and the exquisite gift box in her hands. When she reached the hotel entrance, she showed her ID as a staff member of the design department. Only then did the hotel staff allow her to enter.
It had to be said that Zuo Hancheng had been staying in hotels quite frequently in the past few years. Whenever she heard about him recently, she had never heard of him staying at home.
Thinking back to what Lin Qing had said, had he really not returned to the Gilt Scenic Garden for the past three years?
Anhao paused and walked to the door of the room that Minister Qin mentioned. She saw that the door was open and was stunned for a moment. She walked over and heard the sound of someone talking inside.
“Mr. Mott, the fragrance in the room has been adjusted. I guarantee that there is no special smell and it will not affect Mr. Zuo’s sense of smell.”
“This fragrance is only used to calm the nerves and help you sleep. It doesn’t have the harmful ingredients of sleeping pills, right?”
“No, Mott, don’t worry. Our hotel’s fragrance is famous, and there are absolutely no harmful ingredients. If you’re worried, I can give you a piece, and you can take it elsewhere to check the ingredients.”
“No need. I also heard that your hotel’s fragrance is good, so I specially asked you to prepare fragrance before President Zuo comes back to see if it can improve his sleep. If it really works, if we buy this fragrance from your hotel in the future, can you sell it to the outside world?”
“I’m not sure about that, but our hotel rarely sells anything of our own. These are all prepared for our guests. As for Mr. Zuo’s insomnia, you can talk to our hotel’s general manager.”
“Alright, thanks. Let’s leave after we’re done packing. President Zuo will be back soon.’
The conversation inside stopped. Anhao was standing at the door. When Mobai walked out, he saw her standing at the door. He was even more surprised that Anhao was here. After walking out, he looked at her, then looked at the other places in the corridor. Finally, he stopped in front of her and looked at her.”Anhao? Why are you here?”
“Since you’re here, it’s easy.”Anhao smiled and raised the gift box in her hand.””This is what our Minister Qin asked me to send over. There are also the new design drafts for this week. I need President Zuo to look over them. Then help me give these to him.”
As she spoke, Anhao was about to stuff the gift box into Mobai’s arms.
Mobai saw the thing she had stuffed into her hands and immediately withdrew his hand. At the same time, he smiled and said,””There are rules to this gift. Since Minister Qin asked you to send it, there must be a reason for you to send it. I can’t transfer it in the middle. Moreover, President Zuo hasn’t returned yet.”
“Mobai, please help me keep it. I’m in a hurry to go back and don’t have time to wait here.’
Mobai was still smiling, but he cleverly avoided the thing in Anhao’s hand.””President Zuo is resting in the lobby of the hotel. Two people from the Chamber of Commerce and the provincial leaders have come to talk to President Zuo about the follow-up of what they said today. It has been more than half an hour. They should be back soon.”
Anhao was about to speak when Mobai pointed at the room behind him.””This door is open. You can go in and wait.”
“No need. I’ll wait outside.’
Seeing that she couldn’t get through to him, Anhao didn’t force him anymore. She took a step back with the gift box in her hand, her eyes slowly filled with embarra.s.sment and displeasure.
Mobai saw the awkwardness in her expression and immediately smiled.”You’re not an outsider. Didn’t you enter President Zuo’s office as you pleased in the past? There’s nothing in this room that can’t be seen. You can go in.”
“No thanks.” Anhao stubbornly stood outside the door.
Mobai raised his eyebrows. After looking at her for a while, he nodded.”Then wait for a while. I’ll go to the lobby to check on the situation.”
Anhao didn’t say anything. Just as Mobai was about to leave, the phone in her pocket rang.
She put down the gift box in her hand and picked up the phone. After hearing the series of things that the person on the other end of the phone said, Anhao said softly,”‘I’ll transfer the money before midnight tonight. It won’t delay progress. However, I don’t have much on hand right now. I’ll transfer 80,000 first and make up 20,000 in a few days. Is that okay?”
Anhao heaved a sigh of relief after receiving permission from the other side. As she hung up the phone, she suddenly saw Mobai still standing in front of her.
It was as if he had heard what she said on the phone and stopped in his tracks.
“Aren’t we going to the lobby?” Anhao asked him.
Mobai looked back at her.’
“..”Anhao’s expression paused for a moment before she said calmly,””Fortunately, I have hands and feet to work on my own. Money is something that I don’t feel like I need when I don’t use it. When I really need it, 1 realize that it’s not enough, so I’m a little tight for the time being.”
“How much money do you lack?” Mobai looked at the design drawing in her hands again.””Not on account of your relationship with President Zuo in the past, but on account of the fact that you and I are considered old friends, if you have any problems, you can tell me.”
“It’s okay. I can handle it myself. Normally, they would be able to sc.r.a.pe together some money by taking on some odd jobs. It was just some living expenses.”Anhao smiled but didn’t say anything.
Mobai raised his eyebrows at the same time.” You’re an architect. Have you done any research on interior design?””
“Yes, I studied interior design for three months in my second year in the United States. However, the domestic interior design industry is saturated now, and there’s no special place to make money, so I specialize in architectural design.”
“In that case, a friend of mine has a new house that needs to be designed. He’s too busy and doesn’t have time to think about the design plan. You can take some time to measure the size of the house and make a few designs and plans for him. If he accepts your plan, you can get at least 50,000 yuan as a design
fee.’
“Fifty thousand?” “That good?” Anhao was surprised. What friend of yours? Where was the house? Why would he give someone such a good design reward?
An interior designer shouldn’t be able to earn so much money now, right?”
