Chapter 173 Luo Kai's Thoughts
"It says on it that my good friend Luo Kai congratulates you on your grand opening! Is Mr. Jiang your friend?"
Wang Yuncheng took his mobile phone, looked down at the greeting card on the flower basket, and said slowly.
"Oh, okay, I get it, it's a gift from my friend!"
When Jiang Duoduo heard Luo Kai's name, her brows unconsciously lit up with joy.
After she hung up the phone, she ran to the gate of the B&B to see the row of super-luxurious opening flower baskets sent by Luo Kai.
"How did he know that my B&B opened today? Could it be that Luo Kai has returned to his country?"
Jiang Duoduo remembered that she had not told Luo Kai the opening date of Sunset Villa.
Even the fact that she was going to open a B&B was only mentioned in passing when she was chatting with Luo Kai before the New Year.
At that time, Luo Kai did say that if Jiang Duoduo encountered any difficulties in running the B&B, she could contact him at any time.
However, after the New Year, Luo Kai went on a business trip abroad, and Jiang Duoduo was a person who didn't like to trouble others, so she didn't tell him about her homestay.
Ring, ring, ring… Ring, ring, ring…
As soon as Jiang Duoduo arrived at the gate of the B&B, she received a call from Luo Kai.
"Jiang Duoduo, you're really getting more and more arrogant. You didn't even notify me when you opened your B&B! After all, I'm your former boss. Why didn't you even call me to share your experience?"
As soon as Jiang Duoduo picked up the phone, she heard Luo Kai's cold voice.
Jiang Duoduo was a little confused after hearing so many words, and wondered if Luo Kai was angry with her.
Why was he angry? Did he know him well? He hadn't even told his aunt about the opening of the B&B!
This is Jiang Duoduo's first real entrepreneurial venture. She doesn't want to publicize the fact that she opened a B&B without achieving any results.
"I only run a small B&B. How could I possibly bother Mr. Luo with such an honor? Besides, you're overseas! Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to fly over, right?"
Jiang Duoduo was smiling while talking to Luo Kai on the phone, but there was a hint of politeness in her words.
Jiang Duoduo also didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Luo Kai.
For example, during the Chinese New Year last year, they kept in touch, went out to eat together, and even went to Luo Kai's mother, Aunt Wen's house, for dinner. At that time, Jiang Duoduo felt that she and Luo Kai seemed very close.
It's like a relationship that's more than friends but less than lovers.
But after the New Year, both of them were very busy. After not chatting on WeChat for a while, Jiang Duoduo felt a little distant from Luo Kai again.
But she had never really thought of inviting Luo Kai to attend the opening ceremony of Sunset Villa.
Luo Kai is the general manager of Leica International. Jiang Duoduo feels that it seems a bit inappropriate to ask him to attend the opening of the B&B.
"How do you know I can't fly over here? Forget it! I'm a magnanimous person and I don't hold grudges against petty people. Just treat me to a meal as an apology!"
Luo Kai sat in the car with his cell phone, talking to Jiang Duoduo while looking at the documents in his hand.
He had just landed in City S at noon today and was about to go to the Luo Group headquarters for a meeting.
This time he took a small team on a business trip abroad for more than 20 days. The trip was quite far away, and the time difference between there and China was about ten hours.
In order not to disturb Jiang Duoduo's rest, Luo Kai didn't contact Jiang Duoduo much during this period.
But not contacting him doesn't mean he doesn't care about Jiang Duoduo.
His assistant Ye Qian also had to handle some domestic matters for Luo Kai, so he did not go on the business trip abroad with him this time.
Luo Kai often called him in the middle of the night to ask about Jiang Duoduo.
Ye Qian was the one who personally arranged the sending of flower baskets for the opening of Jiang Duoduo B&B, and Luo Kai just gave some remote instructions.
"What do you mean by 'a great man should not bear grudges'? You still want me to treat you to a meal with that kind of words? Even if you're handsome, you can't be unreasonable!"
Jiang Duoduo recalled the first time she saw Luo Kai at Leica International. He was wearing a striped shirt, with sharp angles on his fair face, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that made him look like a gentleman.
Oh no! It should be called the abstinence-type boss! Hahaha, a perfect male protagonist in a novel!
"Yeah! You're right, being handsome does make you unreasonable. Let's do it the day after tomorrow! I'll visit you at your B&B and grab a meal. You're busy today, and I'm busy too, so I'll hang up first!"
"no……"
Jiang Duoduo was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say to refute him.
How can someone be so self-righteous in eating for free? Even those in my profession who eat for free can't reach this level.
Luo Kai decided to quit while he was ahead and hung up the phone before Jiang Duoduo refused him.
Ye Qian once told him that as long as a man is thick-skinned enough, there is no girl he cannot pursue!
During the twenty days he spent abroad, Luo Kai found that he would think of Jiang Duoduo every time it was late at night. When he tossed and turned in bed in the middle of the night, he especially wanted to send a WeChat message to Jiang Duoduo.
He wanted to know what Jiang Duoduo was doing every day...
Jiang Duoduo stared at the phone in her hand in a daze. Why did she feel that Luo Kai had become a little different?
Ring, ring, ring… Ring, ring, ring…
Jiang Duoduo was startled by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.
She thought Luo Kai had forgotten to say something again, but when she looked, she saw that it was Aunt Liao calling.
"Hello! Aunt Liao..." Jiang Duoduo hasn't asked what's the matter yet?
Aunt Liao said anxiously, "Duoduo, your fourth sister got into an argument with someone. I called your mother but her phone was turned off, so I had to call you."
"You had another fight at the hospital? What happened?"
Jiang Duoduo was a little puzzled. Her fourth sister wasn't the type to argue! Besides, why would she argue with someone when she was already living in a single room?
"We had just been discharged from the hospital and took a taxi back to our rental apartment in Lanyuewan. The landlord wouldn't let us in, saying he wouldn't rent the house to your fourth sister anymore. Your fourth sister was arguing with the landlord right there!"
"Why are you discharged from the hospital? Didn't we agree that you would stay for two more days and then I would pick you up?"
Jiang Duoduo specifically called her fourth sister Jiang Niandi and told her that she was opening the B&B today, and would be busy tomorrow and pick her up from the hospital the day after tomorrow. How come she suddenly discharged herself!
"The doctor came to check on your sister today and said she's recovering well and can be discharged anytime. She asked me to go through the discharge procedures, saying that one day less means one day less expense, and that a single room is too expensive."
Jiang Duoduo heard the baby crying on Aunt Liao's phone and was worried about what might happen over there, so she said she would be there right away.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Duoduo went to the store manager's office to find Zheng Jingsi. Coincidentally, the housekeeper Fang Xinyue and the planner Dai Yu were also there.
The three of them were sitting together, discussing an activity plan.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm busy! I have something urgent to go out for this afternoon, so I'll leave the B&B to you."
Jiang Duoduo said as she stood at the door.
"Mr. Jiang, I have no problem with everything else! But do you have interviews with several new media outlets this afternoon?"
Zheng Jingsi stood up from his seat and looked at Jiang Duoduo at the door and said seriously.
When the other two saw Jiang Duoduo, they also stood up from their chairs and nodded to her.
"You're the one doing the interview! You're the vice president of Sunset Villa, so it doesn't matter who we interview."
Jiang Duoduo hurriedly said a few words and ran to the parking lot to drive.
