1 - 67 Midnight Knocking on the Door

  The knock at the door in the dead of night 167

  This was a piece of hotel stationery, torn into strips, with scribbled pencil marks that looked like a child's scrawl. Wei Zixuan raised an eyebrow after reading it, calmly folded the paper and put it back in her pocket before walking away.

  According to the security guards' understanding of Wei Zixuan, this powerful and authoritative assistant president would never give anyone who harassed her any face. She would choose a public occasion, in front of everyone, to read aloud this letter that was obviously sexually harassing, and even make some small comments on the content of the "love letter".

  With the eloquence of Wei Zhi, he would not use words like "癞蛤蟆" that are obviously sarcastic, but instead would be even more scathing and merciless. At that time, everyone present would look at Liu Ziguo with scornful and contemptuous eyes, making him feel bewildered, unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and unable to explain himself no matter how hard he tried.

  Lei Meng and his companions exchanged a smile, then followed the team out.

  Across the street from Lijing Bay Hotel, there is a hot pot city. Zhicheng Group booked a large private room here, with two large tables that can accommodate everyone. After everyone took their seats, General Manager Li was about to give a speech as usual. Today, Li Xian looked like he was in a good mood and simply said: "Everyone, please go ahead."

  Then they started eating directly. Since it was hot pot, the swan pot needed to be heated for a while. In this gap, reading that love letter would be the best opportunity to make Liu Ziguang lose face, but unfortunately, Wei Ziwei found that Wei Ziyu didn't show any expression, and instead looked absent-minded.

  Beef and mutton, as well as various vegetables, were served one after another. The hot pot base was also bubbling up, and the private room was filled with smoke. Everyone started to enjoy their food and drinks. Because they had drunk too much the day before, the security guards did not touch a drop of wine today, and instead ordered cola. Liu Ziguang, however, still opened a bottle of beer and hypocritically invited the security guards: "Hey guys, won't you have some more?"

  The security guards hastily waved their hands in refusal, and having just done something wrong, they looked at Liu Ziguang with some flicker in their eyes. Liu Ziguang was suspicious in his heart, secretly observing them for a while, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

  However, Li Yan discovered that her assistant was a bit off, the reason was simple, Wei Zixuan was always plain-faced and didn't bother to dress up, but today she went to the bathroom several times, carefully admiring herself in front of the mirror.

  The ancient saying goes, "A scholar would die for a friend who understands him, and a woman would make herself beautiful for the one she loves." Could it be that Wei Zixuan, this little girl, has developed feelings of love? Speaking of which, Wei Zixuan is not young anymore, already 27 years old this year, with half a foot stepping into the ranks of older leftover women. What's most frightening is that she doesn't have any thoughts about romance at all, wholeheartedly throwing herself into her career, and until now, her personal problems remain unsolved.

  Li Yan secretly made up her mind that if Wei Zixuan really wanted to fall in love, she would definitely give her the green light, take time off when needed, and help out when necessary, ensuring her assistant had a good ending.

  Wei Ziqian was a late-blooming girl, wearing glasses and metal braces in middle school, being teased by male classmates as "Glasses Girl" and "Buck-toothed Girl", which made her have an innate hostility towards boys. Later, when she went to college, the ugly duckling turned into a white swan, growing up like a lotus flower out of water, with male classmates flocking to her, but being ruthlessly humiliated by her, becoming an icy existence in school.

  After graduating with a Master's degree in Business Administration, she entered the Zhicheng Group at the invitation of her senior sister Li Xian. From then on, she was busy day and night, without even having time to deal with personal issues. Over time, she became an old spinster, and every day she came into contact with men who wore ties and sprayed cologne in the company, but in Wei Zixuan's eyes, they were just employees using the male toilet, not real men.

  In Wei Zixuan's mind, the real man image is Liu Ziguo, a grassroots-born, dare-to-be-and-dare-to-do, intelligent and brave man. As for what education or family background, it was not even within her consideration range. In fact, when Liu Ziguo stood out yesterday and solved the thugs at the entrance of the bidding center with ease, Wei Zixuan's heart had secretly moved.

  She suddenly received a love letter from Liu Ziguang, and for such a bold and passionate move, Wei Ziyuan was both nervous and excited, her small face flushed with spring, occasionally stealing glances at Liu Ziguang sitting at another table.

  Wei Zixuan's gaze was locked by Cao Dahua, the sharp eyes of the Security Minister discovered that the person Wei's assistant glanced at was Liu Ziguang, he lightly nudged Lei Ming and nodded angrily towards Wei Zixuan.

  Lei Meng wasn't a fool either, and he immediately discovered Wei Zixuan's abnormality. He made an exaggerated expression, furrowed his brow, and said in a low voice: "Damn! I knew it, I should have written my own name."

  It's too late to regret, so I can only eat this dinner with a suffocated and depressed mood. After finishing the meal, my colleagues all went back to the hotel to rest. When we walked to the hotel entrance, a security guard suddenly said: "No way, a evil fire is brewing inside, gotta go out and find a hair salon to solve it."

  Several other security guards also echoed in unison. Cao Dahua glanced at the time and laughed, scolding: "It's not evil fire, it's just your minds are preoccupied with lust! You few kids hurry up and come back quickly, Xiao Lei you can't go, you still have to be on duty tonight."

  Four security guards left with their arms around each other, Cao Dahua and Lei Meng entered the main hall, their conversation was overheard by the hotel doorman, after everyone had left, the doorman took out his mobile phone and sneaked away to a corner.

  ……

  Four security guards were wandering aimlessly on the street, all of whom were visiting Longyang for the first time and didn't know their way around. They were wondering where to find a hair salon when suddenly a taxi stopped beside them, and the driver stuck his head out to ask: "Hey brothers, need a ride?"

  A security guard waved his hand and continued to move forward. The driver, still not giving up, slowly drove the car forward, sticking his head out and shouting: "You guys are outsiders, right? It's so late, let's find a place to have some fun! I know all the entertainment venues in Longyang, they're reasonably priced and safe."

  The security guards were immediately moved and stopped in their tracks, asking: "What's a good place?"

  "The metropolis bath center, one hundred percent alive, Yangzhou technician, absolutely nothing to say." The driver's saliva flew horizontally, and the small eyes shone brightly.

  Four security guards exchanged a look, nodded one after another, opened the door of the Charade car, squeezed their large bodies in, and the small Charade car suddenly sank down a bit. However, the driver was still beaming with joy, humming a tune as he sent the four passengers to the Metropolis Bathing Center.

  After four guests changed into slippers and went upstairs, the front desk supervisor handed a 100-yuan bill to the driver and sent him away, then picked up the intercom and arranged a few sentences.

  ……

  In the hotel room, Lei Meng was restless, pacing back and forth in the room, constantly smoking. Cao Dahua asked: "Little Lei, what's wrong?"

  "I'm so annoyed! I feel suffocated, I wish I hadn't gone out with them."

  Director Cao was considerate of his subordinates and said lightly: "It's not fun to go out and play, is the service in a star-rated hotel not even this good? At worst, I'll go out for a walk and give you some space."

  "No, I've flipped through the accommodation guide, didn't see any special treatment." Lei Meng said with a calm face.

  The phone on the bedside rang suddenly, Cao Dahua picked up the receiver and said professionally "Hello", then smiled slyly and handed the phone to Lei Ming: "It's for you."

  A thunderous voice on the other end of the line, after taking the receiver, a sweet voice came out: "Hello sir, do you need massage service?"

  Lei Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Cao Dahua, and Director Cao casually waved his hand at him. Lei Meng had an idea and replied: "What quality, what price?"

  "Quality is absolutely guaranteed, if not satisfied can be exchanged, full service, 400 yuan for one hour, 800 yuan for the whole night."

  It's really expensive! Leimeng thought to himself, but the quality of a four-star hotel staff is definitely much higher than that of an outside barber shop. The environment is also safe, and Leimeng doesn't care about money, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, come over and let me take a look."

  The phone hung up, and Lei Meng laughed slyly, saying: "Cao Ge, you don't want one."

  "I'm old and can't play around anymore. I'll just go out for a stroll and have a smoke." Cao Dahua got dressed, went out the door and left.

  ……

  Hotel surveillance room, several men in uniform are in front of dozens of surveillance screens, the lobby, parking lot, corridor, and elevator are all visible. One of them with three flowers on his shoulder said: "The phone calls have been made, now four people have called for a girl, there may be more later, don't worry about how many, ten minutes later we'll go up and catch them."

  The rest of them rubbed their fists and grinned mischievously.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, on the surveillance screen, several women wearing suspender skirts appeared, carrying small bags and entering the elevator. After a while, they reappeared in the corridor of the floor occupied by Zhicheng Group.

  ……

  In the corridor, Wei Zixuan pulled her skirt down and felt a bit nervous. It was already 10 o'clock at night, and many colleagues had fallen asleep. The lights in the corridor were soft and quiet, and the thick carpet absorbed all the footsteps, so no one noticed that she had sneaked out and ran to Liu Ziguo's room.

  It just so happened that the engineer who shared a room with Liu Ziguo had left early due to family matters, and the silly girl who shared a room with Wei Ziyun was already fast asleep, creating the necessary conditions for Wei Ziyun's midnight visit.

  With a tense mood suppressed, he walked to the door of Liu Ziguang's room, lightly knocked on the door, and then glanced at his watch, which was exactly 10 o'clock.

  She had no idea that the surveillance camera in the corridor had already covered itself, and the men in the monitoring room on the first floor had put on flashlights and electric batons ready to go out. At the moment of going out, someone turned back to look at the monitor screen and suddenly shouted: "There is another one in Room 1518, don't miss it."

  The faint knock on the door startled Liu Ziguang, he quickly walked to the door and took a peek through the peephole, it was unexpectedly Wei Zixuan, Assistant Wei!

  Liu Ziguang pulled open the door and stared intently at Wei Zixuan, whose appearance was slightly different from usual. Her hair, usually styled in a bun, cascaded down, her glasses were gone, and her face had a light dusting of powder, making her look endearingly lovely.

  Wei Zi Xuan's face was flushed with a layer of powder, she looked up and saw Liu Zi Guang, he was still wearing that same white work shirt, the collar open, sleeves rolled up, on the sleeve there was a straight ironed line, neat and tidy, looking very masculine.

  "Come in and talk." Although he didn't know what Wei Zixuan was after, Liu Ziguo knew that a man and woman standing alone at the door wasn't proper, and if seen by others, it would be hard to explain. So he stepped aside and let Wei Zixuan enter.

  After entering the room, Wei Ziyun became even more restrained, pinching the hem of her clothes and not speaking, her face red, without any trace of her usual composure. Liu Ziguo sat down in a chair, gesturing for Assistant Wei to sit down as well, then asked: "Assistant Wei, what brings you to find me?"

  Wei Zi Xuan's face turned red as she said in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me to come?"

  At this moment, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock came from the door, and with a click, the door was opened. Several men wearing hotel security uniforms rushed in, shining their flashlights wildly, and shouted loudly: "Don't move!"
