Chapter 203 Two Women's Frankness
Chapter 203 Two Women's Frankness
The early morning sun shone freely on the broad road. Lu Cheng was driving, taking Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou with him, heading towards Yunmiao Village.
In the past two days, the three of them went on a self-driving trip, traveled hundreds of miles, visited some famous attractions far away, and only returned this morning.
In the back seat of the car, Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou leaned against the windows on both sides, letting the breeze blow through the windows and ruffle their hair.
Chen Nanxing turned around and said to Xu Hongdou who was standing beside him: "Hongdou, the wind is really coming from all directions and blowing randomly."
Xu Hongdou smiled and pointed her finger at Chen Nanxing.
Chen Nanxing faced the breeze outside the car window, stroked her hair gently, and smiled as bright as the sun.
Xu Hongdou also smiled knowingly, but when she looked up at Lu Cheng, she not only thought of something, but the smile on her face became a little unnatural.
After spending some time together, Xu Hongdou discovered that she was growing fond of Lu Cheng. She couldn't help turning her head to look at Lu Cheng's profile, and she would even have some fantasies about him when she had free time.
If she didn't have her good sister Chen Nanxing, if she didn't know that Chen Nanxing also liked Lu Cheng, perhaps Xu Hongdou would face her own heart instead of trying her best to suppress the thoughts in her heart and suppress her affection for Lu Cheng as she does now.
But emotions are like spring weeds. The more you try to suppress them, the more they will grow wildly.
But when she thought that Chen Nanxing knew Lu Cheng before her and liked Lu Cheng before her, Xu Hongdou began to retreat in her heart, always feeling that she was competing with her best sister for the person she loved.
Xu Hongdou couldn't do such a thing, and she didn't want to ruin the relationship she had with her good sister for so many years because of this.
It was during this tangled psychological process that Xu Hongdou had already thought of escaping. Anyway, her annual leave was about to end, so she might as well return to Yanjing two days earlier, stop thinking about these things, and leave the opportunity to Chen Nanxing.
As they were talking, seeing Xu Hongdou's expression was different, Chen Nanxing took the initiative to approach her and asked in a low voice: "Hongdou, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"
Xu Hongdou shook her head and leaned close to Chen Nanxing's ear: "No, I was just thinking about whether I should go back to work two days earlier. I had a lot of fun this time. If I go back late and start working directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to adjust. So, I want to go back to Yanjing first, have a good rest for two days, and adjust myself before getting back to work."
Hearing Xu Hongdou say this, Chen Nanxing became a little anxious: "Hongdou, why are you going back so early? Isn't there still two or three days left? Can you stay with me for two more days?"
Xu Hongdou glanced at Lu Cheng in front of her: "Don't you still have Lu Cheng? Isn't it good to have him accompany you?"
Chen Nanxing looked up at Lu Cheng in front of him, then turned to look at Xu Hongdou who looked a little unnatural. He already understood something in his heart and stopped talking.
Although the two people spoke in low voices, Lu Cheng still heard the content of their conversation clearly with his keen hearing, and then made a decision.
After returning to the courtyard, while Lu Cheng was out, Chen Nanxing pulled Xu Hongdou into the bedroom, and the two began to whisper: "Hongdou, are you in love with Lu Cheng?"
Xu Hongdou quickly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."
"Hongdou, your expression has already betrayed you. Besides, you can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone. Lu Cheng is so outstanding and has such a good personality. It's normal to like him. There's no need to hide it."
Seeing that she was exposed, Xu Hongdou did not continue to hide: "Nannan, I... I just have some feelings for Lu Cheng, but I can't say I like him. If you really want to say you like him, you should have really liked Lu Cheng, right? Or you can say that you are in love with him."
Chen Nanxing admitted directly and openly: "I admit that I fell in love with Lu Cheng. He is my savior. He saved my life and made my life rejuvenated. It is no longer as boring as before. Lu Cheng is my favorite in terms of both appearance and personality. I liked him before I came here.
But what does it matter? Xu Hongdou, I like Lu Cheng, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Lu Cheng. If Lu Cheng likes me, of course I will be very happy, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. But if Lu Cheng doesn't like me, I won't force it.
Liking someone can be unrequited, but love requires a two-way effort, with two hearts pleasing each other and falling in love with each other.
Hongdou, if Lu Cheng didn't choose me in the end, but chose you, I would only be happy for you and Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng saved my life, and I can't let him have any psychological burden just because of my love for him. He is independent and free. He can like me, you, or anyone else in this world.
Hongdou, you are also independent, you can also like Lu Cheng. Don't hide your feelings and hurt yourself just because of me.
Besides, as the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Lu Cheng is such an outstanding man, it is best for him to choose one of our sisters, and not let outsiders snatch him away, what do you think? "
Xu Hongdou was speechless for a moment and just stared at Chen Nanxing.
Chen Nanxing hugged Xu Hongdou and said, "Haha, are you shocked by my vision? Hongdou, don't think it's so complicated. If you love someone, just chase him bravely."
"It hasn't come to that, really. I just have some feelings for him."
"Xu Hongdou, don't I know you? You can use a message in a bottle to find someone you love. This already shows that you have a crush on someone, which is very telling."
"Oh, can you please not mention the message in the bottle? It's been so many years. I shouldn't have told you if I had known."
"You said it, and I'll remember it. There's no point in regretting it. Also, you're not allowed to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Take your annual leave well and stay with me for two more days."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
After the two sisters talked it out, Xu Hongdou felt much better and began to face the budding emotions that had been buried deep in her heart.
On the other side, Lu Cheng also made a call: "Old Ma, you know the situation at the Waldorf Hotel, right?"
"Of course I know. I know all the dozens of five-star hotels in Beijing. What? The big boss is also starting to want to take charge? This is rare. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Isn't our Junyuan Hotel preparing to upgrade to a five-star hotel? I found a very good talent here, the lobby manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, named Xu Hongdou. Go find a professional headhunter and contact Xu Hongdou. Make sure to recruit her for me."
"Where should we put them after we dig them up? Does Mr. Lu have any detailed arrangements?"
"Tentatively appoint her as the Director of Housekeeping Department. The salary and benefits will be the same as the Director of Service Department at Waldorf Astoria. Increase it by half first."
The old man Ma on the other side was a little surprised: "This salary is not low. Mr. Lu, such a big boss, specially arranged such a director of the housekeeping department. Could this Manager Xu be the future boss's wife? If so, Mr. Lu should also give me a definite answer so that I can make arrangements in advance to avoid offending the future boss's wife."
"Don't ask too many questions, and try not to let her know yet."
"Okay, I understand. Just wait for my news."
Among Lu Cheng’s businesses, there is a four-star hotel called Junyuan.
This old Ma is the person in charge of Junyuan Hotel and also a capable assistant to Lu Cheng.
The system father arranged a lot of industries for Lu Cheng, and each industry was also led by a capable and loyal subordinate. These were all talents selected by the system, so Lu Cheng basically didn't have to worry about anything, and he could be a doctor at ease...
