In the evening, Gu Qibai and Qiu Ye left the hotel for the banquet, while Su Xixi returned to the office. As soon as she entered, she overheard people whispering.
"Do you know? That VIP has quite a background. He's the hidden boss of the largest consortium in our country and the head of the Imperial Group."
"Really? No wonder Mr. Tan is so nervous. We've had many VIPs come to X City before, but I've never seen him so cautious."
"Isn't that obvious? Have any of the VIPs who have come to our hotel before had such a prominent identity? Tsk tsk, I envy Manager Su. Can you imagine if Mr. Gu, seeing how beautiful Manager Su is, takes a liking to her and brings her back as his wife?"
"Haha, don't talk nonsense. If the head of the steward department hears you, she'll definitely give you a hard time. She's not happy about losing her position as the head steward."
As the two were chatting away, they completely failed to notice a figure approaching.
"Are you two free now? Have you finished your tasks? Instead of gossiping here, it seems like none of you wants to work anymore." The head of the steward department, Lu Rong, glared at the two service staff, reprimanding them sternly.
The two staff members received their scolding and hurriedly lowered their heads, apologizing, then quickly left.
Lu Rong's anger hadn't subsided yet when she looked up and saw Su Xixi standing at the door. Her expression was somewhat embarrassed. Lu Rong took a few steps forward, walked to Su Xixi's side, and sarcastically said, "I've always known that Manager Su is extraordinary. Today, I finally got to witness it. However, let me kindly remind Manager Su, fairy tales like 'from rags to riches' only exist in stories because such things are impossible in real life. It's best to know your place!"
Su Xixi understood her sarcastic remark but wasn't angry. She just smiled faintly and said, "Supervisor Lu is thoughtful. I'll take your advice."
Seeing that she hadn't provoked her, Lu Rong felt it was pointless to continue, so she just gave her a resentful glare and left with her head held high.
Su Xixi watched her retreating figure and sighed deeply.
Everyone thought she had struck gold, getting such a great opportunity to serve a dignitary. But who knew how much she didn't want to be the head steward?

In a presidential suite, there is usually a small room designated for the live-in steward who provides 24-hour personal service to the hotel guests.
After dinner, Su Xixi returned to her room, waiting for the "dignitary".
It was after ten o'clock in the evening, and she felt a bit sleepy. She was about to lie down on the bed for a short nap when her phone, placed on the bedside table, suddenly rang.
Reaching for her phone, she glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Gu Qibai's assistant, Qiu Ye.
They had exchanged numbers before setting off so they could stay in touch. At this hour, what could Qiu Ye be calling about?
Curiously, she answered the phone, placing it to her ear. "Hello, Assistant Qiu..."
"Manager Su, come to the Water Sky Club immediately, room 999," Qiu Ye's voice sounded urgent, with an unmistakable tone of command.
Some employees really match their bosses. Su Xixi silently complained, but still couldn't help but ask, "May I ask if there's anything wrong?"
"It's about Mr. Gu. You have fifteen minutes, hurry over!" Qiu Ye didn't wait for Su Xixi's response before hanging up.
