Chapter 119 Song Qi’s Trouble_1
“No problem! Tongtong is so adorable. I will definitely treat her as if she were my own daughter,” Zhao Xiaoqing declared with conviction.
Having said that, Zhao Xiaoqing realized the misunderstanding in her words and immediately her pretty face blushed with embarrassment.
If I treat Tongtong as my daughter, then wouldn’t I become Instructor Xu’s…
At that thought, Zhao Xiaoqing, a girl who had never experienced love, buried her head like an ostrich, too shy to look at Xu Fan. Her cute face was flushed as if she had a fever.
“This little nurse is so easily embarrassed. She used to give me the cold shoulder, and now she’s suddenly so bashful,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin and feeling a bit confused.
Having said goodbye to the bashful Zhao Xiaoqing, Xu Fan took Tongtong, now wearing three layers of masks, and fled back to the Hilton Hotel.
With four or five hours left before nightfall, Xu Fan didn’t want to stay cooped up at the training ground, breathing air contaminated by the War Wolf Squad.
Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, he saw the beautiful front desk manager Song Qi, whom he had met when she took him to his room upstairs, sitting there looking sullen and depressed.
A young man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a golden Rolex, was nearby at the front desk, holding a large bunch of bright red roses and gazing affectionately at Song Qi behind the counter.
“Qi Qi, after you get off work today, let’s go eat Japanese food at the newly opened Heisei Hundred Flavors Restaurant. I heard their new chef is amazing. He’s been cooking rice for fifty years, and his rice can bring tears to diners’ eyes,” the suit-clad man said to Song Qi, his eyebrows dancing with excitement.
“Li Changcheng, stop bothering me at work, okay? If you keep this up, I’m going to call security!” Song Qi glanced at Li Changcheng irritably and spoke angrily.
“Qi Qi, at least accept the flowers. The whole Hilton Hotel knows I like you. Even the security can’t kick me out. Besides, I’m also a customer here; the customer is god. Can you bear to see god begging in front of you and you not giving him the slightest chance?” Li Changcheng, looking refined, spoke to Song Qi in a relentless and sticky fashion, like a piece of taffy.
“You are a customer, and I respect you very much, but we have a policy that we can’t accept anything from customers!” Song Qi replied curtly.
“Alright then, as a token of my satisfaction with your hotel’s service, I will donate this bunch of flowers to your esteemed hotel. As the duty manager, you should accept it on behalf of the hotel,” Li Changcheng said earnestly, but his words were thick with cheekiness.
“Xiao Xin, take the flowers from this customer,” Song Qi said, turning to another duty manager at the hotel front desk.
“No, it has to be you who accepts them; she is not qualified!” Li Changcheng dismissed the flowers with a flick of his hand and glared at Xiao Xin, who was approaching to take them.
The front desk manager called Xiao Xin, seeing Li Changcheng’s expression, stood frozen awkwardly, unsure whether to accept the flowers or not.
Song Qi, too, was getting a headache from Li Changcheng and stood up to confront him: “Li Changcheng! What on earth are you trying to do? This is my workplace, whatever it is can it not wait until I’m off work?”
“Fine! Then how about we go to Heisei Hundred Flavors Restaurant for dinner after work? As long as you go with me, I promise I won’t bother you here anymore,” Li Changcheng revealed what he thought was a handsome smile and said tenderly to Song Qi.
However, in Song Qi’s eyes, his smile was creepy and disgusting.
“I won’t go with you!” Song Qi said resolutely to Li Changcheng.
“Song Qi! Don’t think that being a hotel manager is something to be proud of. Aren’t you just a servant standing behind the counter? It’s an honor for you that I fancy you, and now you’re putting on airs with me. Do you know who my brother is? Don’t refuse to toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” Li Changcheng, seeing Song Qi’s firm rejection, completely discarded his gentlemanly facade and threatened Song Qi with a menacing look.
“I know your brother is the captain of the Falcon Commando. But I will not yield!” Song Qi, holding her head high, defiantly said to Li Changcheng.
“Fine! Then wait for the Hilton Hotel to be shut down. Oh, and isn’t your father a taxi driver? Tell him to watch out for his safety on the road!” Li Changcheng completely abandoned his pretense of decency and threatened Song Qi with a sinister face.
“Li Changcheng… you’re so shameless!” Song Qi’s eyes reddened, her chest heaving with anger caused by Li Changcheng, while inside she was somewhat worried about her father.
Working at the Hilton Hotel was good, but if Li Changcheng deliberately looked for trouble, Song Qi would resign if necessary to prevent his threats from succeeding.
Even if she lost her job, it didn’t matter to her, but her father was forever the tender spot in Song Qi’s heart.
Li Changcheng’s brother, Li Changjiang, was the captain of the Zhonghai City Falcon Special Assault Team, with tremendous influence.
Although the Hilton Hotel was a well-known chain in Zhonghai City, it wouldn’t dare provoke the Falcon Squad’s Li Changjiang, let alone Song Qi’s father, who was just a humble taxi driver. To the captain of the Falcon Squad, Li Changjiang, he could be twisted or flattened as desired.
Song Qi, with her head bowed, was out of options. For her father’s safety, she had to agree to Li Changcheng.
“Fine! I’ll go to dinner with you, but that’s all,” Song Qi said hoarsely to Li Changcheng, with tears beginning to shimmer in her eyes.
“Haha, that’s more like it. It’s just dinner, no need to be so nervous,” Li Changcheng laughed heartily, speaking with satisfaction.
“Little girl, do you really think I’m asking you out just for dinner? I’ve already bought the date-rape drug. When you’re not paying attention, I’ll slip it into your dish. Let’s see if you don’t obediently get into my bed tonight. No matter how chaste and virtuous you act now, tonight I’ll turn you into a slut!” Li Changjiang’s eyes flashed with a sinister smirk, nodding with satisfaction before turning to leave.
Xu Fan had been watching on the side as he swaggered about, and became somewhat displeased when he heard “Falcon Squad.” Seeing him threaten Song Qi and flash that sleazy smile, Xu Fan knew this guy was up to something dirty.
Just as Li Changcheng was swaggering past Xu Fan, Xu Fan suddenly shot out a foot lightning-fast, blocking Li Changcheng’s path.
Li Changcheng had been striding along boldly but suddenly stumbled over Xu Fan’s foot and “thud,” fell to the ground face first.
Xu Fan stepped on Li Changcheng and grabbed his hair with one hand.
“Kid! How dare you threaten a weak woman in front of me without asking this incarnation of justice?”
