Chapter 714: The Little Wolf Dog is Just Sweet

A group of colleagues chatted with Cai Xiaotang for a while, then returned to their respective desks.

Cai Xiaotang's ears were finally at peace, and she sat down in her seat.

Just as she opened her computer, a woman who looked about the same age as her leaned over from the side.

"Xiao Tang, these few months you were on leave, did you really just go traveling?"

The woman asked in a low voice, her tone somewhat gossipy.

Cai Xiaotang was usually closest to her, and upon hearing this, she looked at the other person speechlessly: "Comrade Ren Qing, what else did you think I went to do?"

"I was just asking..."

The woman named Ren Qing scanned her surroundings, then lowered her voice and said: "You don't know, those old women like Sister Chen have been badmouthing you quite a bit while you were gone. They said they heard you went on vacation with some big spender, and that while it was called a leave, you were actually being kept, and that you definitely wouldn't be coming back, and things like that..."

"Tsk..."

Cai Xiaotang gave an impatient hum: "It doesn't matter, let them talk. If they have the guts, they can come say it to my face."

Ren Qing understood her temper and advised: "Alright, don't be angry. I'm just telling you so you don't get blinded by their sugar-coated bullets just after coming back! We have a big order to take on!"

"A big order?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this.

"Yeah, I don't know exactly who we're collaborating with yet, but I heard the other party has a huge background. The person in charge just arrived and is inside talking to the boss right now. He's a super handsome young guy!"

"Oh?"

Cai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow: "A young handsome guy? How handsome can he be?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw Ren Qing's eyes light up: "Handsome enough to explode! Handsome enough to reach the heavens! Handsome enough that if he smiled at me, I could propose to him on the spot! It's just that he doesn't look very old... I've never dated a younger man before..."

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but laugh and interrupt: "Hey! It's only nine in the morning, are you still not awake? Even if you want to date a younger man, he has to be willing to date you, right?"

"Can't I just imagine it!"

Ren Qing pouted, then suddenly whispered again: "Anyway, there were rumors about this big order a while ago, and others have been eyeing it for a long time. You coming back so suddenly—even if they don't say anything on the surface, they must be very wary of you in their hearts..."

"Whatever, if the boss gives me the task, I'll take it; if not, that's fine too."

Cai Xiaotang shrugged indifferently and continued organizing the documents at hand.

Their profession was not as simple as one might imagine.

Most people think a "Hotel Reviewer" just goes to a hotel and sleeps for a night.

But in reality, to officially enter this industry, one not only needs the corresponding qualifications and years of work experience, but must also be well-versed in everything related to hotels.

Whether it is the geographical location, surrounding environment, the attitude of the service staff, the hardware facilities inside the hotel, the fabric of the bedding, the soundproofing of the room, the structural layout of the bathroom, or even the arrangement of the lights in the room, all become important conditions for rating the star level.

The studio where Cai Xiaotang works is one of the few in the industry with a solid reputation for reviews.

Unlike the influencer reviews seen everywhere online, they are a formal organization that needs to issue professional review reports.

And because she is professional in her testing and "impartial," refusing any bribes or flattery during the review period, she became one of the boss's capable right-hand people after working for only a few short years.

Coupled with the fact that she is pretty, it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of others, who would gossip behind her back from time to time.

However... she didn't care.

After a while—someone carried coffee into the office not far away.

Ren Qing couldn't help but lean toward Cai Xiaotang again.

"Xiao Tang, how big of an order do you think this is? The boss has been in there for almost an hour..."

"Now that you mention it, I'm a bit curious too..."

Cai Xiaotang glanced toward the office, and just as she finished speaking, she heard a teasing voice ring in her ear.

"Xiao Tang, so diligent? It's only your first day back, and you've already started organizing data?"

Cai Xiaotang immediately turned around and put on a formulaic smile: "Yes, Sister Chen. I've rested for such a long time, so of course I have to work hard now that I'm back..."

"That's true, you're the most dedicated one here. I think the boss might come out and assign you a task in a little while."

The woman surnamed Chen replied with a smile, and with that one sentence, everyone looked over toward them.

Some were there to watch the show, some were jealous, and some were annoyed.

Cai Xiaotang's brow twitched; although she was still smiling on the outside, she was already rolling her eyes on the inside.

This Chen Jialin is at it again...

If she wants to make money so badly, why doesn't she just rush in and ask the boss for the order?

She hadn't even warmed her seat since coming back, and she was already being treated as a hypothetical enemy?

She smiled slightly and deflected the comment: "I'm not sure about that. During my leave, the boss didn't talk to me about work matters."

Hearing her say this, Chen Jialin immediately continued: "That's true, you aren't aware of the company's recent situation. I heard a big order is coming in, it's about a hotel's star rating. Everyone has been incredibly busy lately, staying up late to make plenty of preparations..."

"Then Sister Chen must be very tired."

Cai Xiaotang replied in a very perfunctory manner, knowing exactly what the other person wanted to hear, but refusing to say it.

Since a big order is coming, those who want to take it must finish the work on their hands.

Presumably, they have been busy working for this "big order" for some time, and they were hinting that everyone is prepared, so it wouldn't look good for her to snatch the meat out of others' mouths the moment she returned.

Anyway, she only listens to the boss.

If they want her to take the initiative to "yield," not a chance!

Besides, she still wants to earn more money to support her brother's "mansion."

The atmosphere stiffened for a moment.

Seeing that she only offered a polite remark, Chen Jialin felt somewhat annoyed, but couldn't lash out, so she had to return to her own seat.

Cai Xiaotang also withdrew her gaze and continued to focus on her own work.

After a while—"Click."

The door to the office not far away was finally opened.

Almost everyone subconsciously looked over, and Cai Xiaotang was no exception.

Immediately after, she saw her boss, Cheng Yue, walk out from inside with a smile, with a tall, thin man in a suit standing beside him.

He was turning his head to speak, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person looked somewhat familiar.

Then, the next second—the man suddenly turned his head, his gaze meeting hers squarely.

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes in an instant, almost doubting if she was dreaming.

Liu Qingze!?

How could it be him?

The boy not far away had dyed his short hair black at some point, losing a bit of his flamboyance, but looking much more well-behaved.

Coupled with the suit he was wearing and his slightly serious expression, Cai Xiaotang could not, in any way, connect him to the skateboarder from a few days ago.

So the partner for this big order... is the Liu Family?
