Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend
Chapter 421: President Li comes to the rescue
Although the hotel that Lu Xingchen stayed in was a five-star hotel, it had not yet opened for business because the high-speed rail line and the expressway had not yet been fully opened. It had not even been officially opened to the public for trial use. It was only open to those who also had projects in Wenquan Mountain or internal staff.
So although the facilities and equipment are complete and there are people to manage them, not all positions are complete and the service naturally cannot be expected to meet the standards.
Lu Xingchen had just parked the car when she saw several children of all ages playing under the decoration racks built in the hotel garden. She couldn't help but frowned. She walked to the hotel entrance and said to the security guard who came out:
"Hello, it doesn't seem safe for those kids to play there, you have to be careful."
The security guard took one look and said, "They are all here to play with their parents during the summer vacation. There are also some children from the surrounding area. I will go talk to them."
The security guard said he would go ahead and talk to him, so Lu Xingchen didn't bother to do anything else and went straight into the hotel. In the gorgeous and spacious lobby, the high ceiling was hung with chandeliers with local characteristics, which complemented the style of the walls and was grand and distinctive.
There was only one female staff member at the huge front desk. When she saw her come in, she raised her voice slightly and asked, "Hello, are you from Zhencheng Company?"
Lu Xingchen stopped and turned to look at her, "Yes, I am."
The receptionist smiled and said, "Our hotel's dinner tonight is a buffet. It starts at 6:30 and ends at 7:30. You can just go there with your room card."
Lu Xingchen nodded: "Okay, thank you."
It is called a buffet dinner, but in fact it is similar to what is provided in the company cafeteria, that is, there is a window for providing meals, and someone inside will serve you the prepared dishes you need, with no limit on the quantity, and it will be served while stocks last.
Under the special circumstances, Lu Xingchen was not picky about this, and she didn't have much appetite today, as long as she wasn't hungry.
However, she was sitting alone in a large restaurant with few customers eating, and she felt a little uncomfortable with Zhencheng's hospitality. Although she was an employee of Zhencheng before, she was at least a partner now, and she didn't even have a staff member to eat with her.
Of course, she didn't like eating with strangers, but it was too...
"Do you mind if I sit down and eat with you?"
Lu Xingchen was startled by this sudden question and immediately looked up. Li Zhen stood in front of her with a tray and asked. After all, she was still criticizing Zhencheng's hospitality just a second ago. Lu Xingchen felt a little guilty and turned her eyes away and replied, "Mr. Li, please feel free."
Li Zhen sat down at the seat opposite her, looked at her plate and said, "I'm sorry, my conditions are limited. I'll treat you to something better when we get back to the city."
"It's okay, the food is delicious." Lu Xingchen said this and despised himself. Why did he start to speak politely?
Fortunately, Li Zhen couldn't hear her thoughts, so he tasted the dish and commented, "It's okay."
Then he looked at her and said, "Then eat it."
After saying that, he started to eat. Moreover, he was really eating seriously. I don’t know if it was because the food tasted good or because he was really hungry, but he ate in big mouthfuls, and it looked as if the food was really delicious.
Li Zhen is a good cook, but maybe because of his living conditions since childhood, he is never picky about food and eats very quickly. When they first got together, she often reminded him how many times he should chew before swallowing.
It's much better now than before, but when he eats alone, he still eats faster out of habit, just like now...
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Li Zhen looked up. She said nothing and continued to eat her meal with her head down. But when she looked up again, her eating speed had obviously slowed down.
Although neither of them spoke, his action made Lu Xingchen feel mixed emotions, just like the last time before they got back together, when he saw her while smoking and subconsciously hid the cigarette.
Lu Xingchen thought about it and couldn't help but sigh again. Even in her memories, she herself had mentioned breaking up and getting back together many times, so they were indeed not suitable for each other.
But she clearly felt it was inappropriate, but Li Zhen, who was eating with her, didn't say a few words from beginning to end, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable, so when she arrived at the lobby, she asked him first: "Where are you going, Mr. Li?"
Li Zhen looked at her for a moment and replied, "Let's go back to the room. What about you?"
She was waiting for him to say this, so she said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Of course, if he wanted to go out for a walk, she would definitely say go back to the room. Since he had nothing to say, there was no need for them to walk together. Lu Xingchen didn't even look at his reaction and turned around and walked out.
When he passed the garden again, he heard the sound of a group of children playing. Didn't the security guard handle it? Why were there still children playing there? Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, but still walked over there.
At this moment, a snapping sound was heard. Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shouted to the ten-year-old children, "Don't pull the pole..."
But it was too late. Lu Xingchen could already see with his own eyes that the two-meter-high platform was tilting down. The older children immediately started shouting and ran away, but two children, aged four or five, obviously didn't react and were still playing there.
"Run away!" Lu Xingchen shouted as he rushed over, holding a child in one hand and ran out.
The shelf tilted to a certain angle and the speed became faster. Lu Xingchen pushed a child out with his dominant right hand. His left hand was a little slower and felt it was too late, so he pushed the child under him.
Lu Xingchen felt that she was doomed. She closed her eyes tightly and clearly felt that the shelf seemed to have fallen down, but she did not feel any weight on her body. She opened her eyes and looked back. She saw that the shelf was stuck at a height of about 30 degrees, only a few centimeters away from her back.
"Get out quickly." Li Zhen's face flushed red as he was holding the shelf with all his strength, "Quick..."
Without saying a word, Lu Xingchen hurriedly climbed out with the child. Seeing her leaving the safe range of the shelf, Li Zhen instantly lost his strength and was pulled down by the shelf which was too heavy, before his hand even left the shelf.
Bang.
Li Zhen knelt on the ground following the collapsed shelf. Lu Xingchen shouted in surprise: "Li Zhen!"
She rushed over quickly and saw that his right hand was still under the shelf. She quickly reached out to lift the shelf, but the iron frame didn't move at all. Lu Xingchen didn't know how Li Zhen had been able to lift such a heavy shelf. She turned around and shouted to the door, "Hurry up, someone!"
The security guard ran over here with a panicked look on his face, but together with Lu Xingchen, they still couldn't lift the shelf. Fortunately, a few workers passing by also came over to help.
The moment Li Zhen's hand came out from under the shelf, Lu Xingchen looked worried, holding his arm and asked, "How are you?"
