Chapter 615: Wang Ge Arrives

The next morning, I was jolted awake by the phone's urgent ring.

I picked up the phone and glanced at it,

and saw it was a call from Yang Tao,

What could this woman be calling so early for,

so I pressed the answer button.

Yang Tao's voice came through,

"Jianqiang, why aren't you in the hotel? Where did you go?"

"Hehe, you missed me after a while, huh? I'm out, what's up," I said with a smile.

"I missed you, I'm just idle. I have business to discuss; get back quickly. Wang Ge is arriving today," Yang Tao told me.

"Wang Ge is coming, he's coming, so just handle the reception; no need to worry about anything.

He's only coming to see Director Qi," I said to Yang Tao.

"I'm worried, Jianqiang, with you not by my side I'm truly scared.

Jianqiang, come back quickly, I beg you. I'm afraid that if I panic, Wang Ge will notice something," Yang Tao said anxiously over the phone.

A person cannot have ghosts in their heart; if there are ghosts, it's different.

This Yang Tao will definitely worry about Wang Ge's inquiry.

I said, "I'm in Xue County; I'll be back soon. Wang Ge, what time are you arriving?"

"Arriving at ten in the morning. What are you doing in Xue County?" Yang Tao asked.

"Ten o'clock won't delay me. I'm going to Xue County to see Xixi, my sister's daughter; she's teaching here."

"Alright, come quickly. By the way, Wang Ge said over the phone that when he comes to Zaocheng, he must see you," Yang Tao said.

"Then we'll meet," I said, hanging up.

After I hung up,

I called Wen Han directly; this kind of matter needs an immediate report.

Wen Han answered the call promptly,

"Brother Jianqiang, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Wen, I just got a call from Yang Tao; she said Wang Ge is coming to Zaocheng today. Did you know? I'm reporting it first," I said.

"Wang Ge going to Zaocheng? I don't know; what is he doing there?" Wen Han asked directly over the phone.

"I guess he's coming to see Director Qi; wasn't Director Qi hospitalized with an illness a few days ago?"

"Mr. Wen, may I ask, is there a good relationship between Wang Ge and Director Qi?" I asked Wen Han.

"He's going to visit Director Qi, so there's nothing to worry about. Just handle the reception properly."

Regarding Director Qi and Wang Ge, I asked my father; he's more familiar with them.

He said the Wang family and the Qi family have been long-time acquaintances.

The elder of the Qi family once worked together with Wang Ge's elder.

The two families get along well; there's nothing else," Wen Han said.

"Alright, I understand. Rest assured, Mr. Wen, I'll definitely handle the reception. Director Qi's sudden illness was because he took too much medicine.

The city hospital in Zaocheng has already diagnosed,

It was his own action and unrelated to anyone else.

"Mr. Wen, is there anything else you need to arrange?" I said.

"That's all. Just try to send Wang Ge away as early as possible; staying in Zaocheng too long isn't good. Alright, if anything comes up, I'll have Hou Laoban inform you," Wen Han said before hanging up.

Holding the phone, I thought,

Wang Ge's coming to Zaocheng wouldn't be such a simple matter.

Whether simple or complicated, I have to face it.

I quickly got up,

After a quick wash, I left the hotel directly.

I didn't say goodbye to Xixi.

Anyway, she's going to report to Li Jia for work today; as for yesterday, I've already spoken everything with Xixi.

She's a grown child now; I don't need to repeat anything.

I want to see how Li Jia's ideological work is going.

I believe she's doing well.

I drove from Xue County toward Zaocheng Xin Cheng.

Looking at the lush mountain range northeast of Xue County, I thought, in a few years I'll develop you, giving you a different vitality.

If time permits, I'd really like to roar loudly among those mountains.

I, Zhao Jianqiang, am back again.

Just wait.

My car sped from Xue County to Zaocheng Xin Cheng.

I arrived at Zaocheng Grand Hotel at exactly 9:30.

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I saw Hou Laoban standing there, walking back.

He saw me and hurried over,

"Jianqiang, you're finally back. I was just about to call you. Second Master Wen assigned me, saying an important guest is coming to Zaocheng, and I should handle the reception.

I'm not familiar with this guest; Second Master Wen told me to ask you.

You're familiar with that guest.

Hurry up and tell me what that guest likes, so I can arrange a room.

When I heard Hou Laoban say that,

I then smiled and said, 'Hou Laoban, don't be so anxious.'

This guest has come to Zaocheng; he doesn't want too many people to know. Just pretend you don't know anything.

He'll stay in whichever room he likes and eat whatever food he likes.

Do you understand what I mean?

But Jianqiang, Second Master Wen has arranged for me to receive him well; this cannot be taken lightly. Are you afraid I want to get to know him? Hou Laoban looked at me and said directly.

You think too much. I'm thinking of you; the guest wants to stay low-key, but if you receive him ostentatiously, it will backfire.

Whether you listen to me or not, I don't have time to chatter; I'm going to find Yang Tao to discuss something. I said hurriedly.

I don't want to waste time on Hou Laoban.

At this moment, Hou Laoban grabbed my arm.

Jianqiang, what's the guest's name? I want to put a welcome message on the hotel lobby screen. Stay here; when the guest arrives, point him out so I can send him flowers.

Oh dear, Hou Laoban, how should I put it?

His surname is Wang, he's a bit thin, over fifty, with a Sijiucheng accent. After I finished speaking, I broke free of Hou Laoban's grip.

Then I walked toward the elevator.

After pressing the button for Yang Tao's floor in the elevator, I went straight in.

Upon entering Yang Tao's room,

Yang Tao was anxiously waiting for me.

Seeing me come in,

Yang Tao's face was about to cry.

You damn Jianqiang, you've finally come back.

All right, Wang Ge, how did you come? By high-speed rail or by car? I asked.

By car. He's already exited the highway and is heading to Zaocheng Xin Cheng here. Jianqiang, if he asks about Lao Qi, how should I answer? Yang Tao said somewhat flustered.

What's there to panic about? Just answer normally,

It was Director Qi himself who did it; it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Do you understand?

After Yang Tao heard me finish speaking,

she nodded,

If you don't come, my heart panics; when you arrive, my heart calms; as long as you're by my side, I fear nothing.

What are you afraid of? You haven't done anything guilty, so you don't fear ghosts knocking. Call Wang Ge to ask how many people there are and how many rooms to arrange. I told Yang Tao.

All right, I'll contact them now. Yang Tao said.

Yang Tao took out her phone and began contacting Wang Ge.

Yang Tao said a few words on the phone,

then hung up,

Yang Tao turned to me and said, 'Jianqiang, Wang Ge said on the phone that we don't need to book a room; he's not staying here, he's already at the Golden Light Grand Hotel.'

Let's go to the Golden Light Hotel to find him.

He's staying at the Golden Light Grand Hotel.

All right, let's hurry over.

I don't know why Wang Ge is staying at the Golden Light Grand Hotel. I said.

Is he unwilling to stay with us? Yang Tao said.

I don't know. This is fine too; staying together would be troublesome, and we'd have to report in. Having said that, I walked out.

Yang Tao grabbed her bag and hurriedly followed behind me.
