She had to start considering discussing her transfer abroad with the company after completing this project. Although the domestic side offered higher salaries due to the demand for talent, she had to make sacrifices for her child.
Rosalind opened the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to let the wind in.
Suddenly remembering that her child was still sleeping, she quickly closed it again, slipped on her slippers, and walked out of the room to the hotel lobby.
Wayer City was surrounded by many mountains, so the night breeze carried the scent of trees and grass, mixed with an indescribable freshness that seemed to clear one’s mind.
Just as Rosalind was about to leave the hotel, the receptionist saw her and called out, “Miss Ruell! Are you here to pick up something?”
Something?
Rosalind was puzzled. “What is it?”
“A gentleman left this here earlier, saying it was for your daughter,” the receptionist quickly took out a bag of candy.
If she hadn’t mentioned it, Rosalind would have forgotten.
She took the bag and looked inside. It was full of various kinds of candy.
Rosalind smiled helplessly and took a deep breath.
This must be another instance of her daughter going out and asking people for candy. Kind-hearted people often bought her candy! This wasn’t the first time it had happened. Many people who saw Floyd’s cuteness would buy her candy! Over time, Floyd had learned that acting cute could get her candy.
It seems being cute has its drawbacks for dental health.
Rosalind smiled at the receptionist, “Please thank him for me! If I meet him another day, I’ll have my daughter thank him in person.”
“He’s checking out tomorrow,” the receptionist said with a disappointed look. “I just saw it; he canceled his extended stay.”
“Then please give this to him.”
Rosalind handed over a business card with her name and contact information. “I noticed he bought many kinds of candy, some quite expensive. If he contacts me, I’d like to reimburse him.”
“I doubt he’ll accept! This gentleman stayed in our most luxurious room for a whole month! That’s nearly 200, 000 in room fees!”
“Oh? It seems quite a few big shots are secretly inspecting Wayer City. But this place is indeed a treasure trove.”
The scenery was beautiful, and the environment and climate were pleasant. Rosalind thought investing here was a great idea.
The receptionist chuckled and took Rosalind’s card. “I hope more people like him come in the future.”
Rosalind laughed.
It seemed this gentleman had charmed not only her daughter but also the hotel receptionist! He must be quite good-looking.
…
Early the next morning, Rosalind was called away by Mr. Wong as soon as she opened her eyes.
She hurriedly drove to the construction site and saw Mr. Wong arguing with a group of people.
Rosalind quickly walked over and immediately recognized a “familiar face”-the holdout tenant.
But this time, he wasn’t alone; he had brought over a dozen people with him, both men and women.
“You deceive the common folk! You tricked us into relocating and took our houses!”
“We signed a clear agreement, and you received every penny. How did I deceive you?” Mr. Wong, being from the South, wasn’t very good at verbal sparring and was at a disadvantage.
Rosalind guessed what these people were up to. As she walked over, she took out her phone and dialed 110 to call the police.
She deliberately spoke loudly, “Hello, I’d like to report a disturbance! There are people causing trouble here.”
