Chapter 292 – And the four of them wrapped dumplings on New Year’s Eve like one big happy family (1)

Dorsett Hotel never stood out within the headquarter. In the past, they would never be picked to host large-scale events such as the annual party. This had been a lucky year for Dorsett Hotel. Possibly because, earlier in the year, Boss Zhou had decided on a whim to stay for over a month at their hotel and they had managed to leave him with a lasting impression and was therefore willing to let them handle a project of this magnitude. As half of a host, Boss Han had been chatting up with his colleague complacently with a wine glass in hand before the banquet had even started.

Seeing the woman who was prettier than a movie start accompanying Boss Zhou to the venue, Boss Han, much like his other colleague, was dazed for a little while. Nevertheless, he was greatly elated afterward.

The fact that Boss Zhou had a girlfriend was no longer a secret after she had brought him his document to the office once before. Truth was, even a few months ago, there had been rumors that Boss Zhou was no longer single. Why else would a workaholic man suddenly started taking off on time? What other reasons could there be other than being in a romantic relationship?

Under everyone’s careful observation, the woman behind the boss was slowly being revealed. They only know that she was very private, or that Boss Zhou was doing too good of a job hiding her from the public’s eyes. After all sorts of digging, the only things that they had found out about her was her last name being “Yan”, she was very pretty but she was not a star, and she seemed to also be a single mother. And that was all that anyone was able to learn about her.

Any more detailed information was probably limited to the few that were close to the boss.

Boss Han, on the other hand, was an exception to the rule. He wasn’t exactly a trusted employee of Boss Zhou’s but he was particularly familiar with the boss’s romance. In fact, he arguably knew more than Secretary Lu. After all, by the time that Secretary Lu found out, Yan Shuyu was already the boss’s girlfriend. Robin and Louis could tell her about Yan Shuyu, but they wouldn’t gossip about the romance part of it and definitely not oversharing anything that they shouldn’t.

Naturally, anything that had happened at Hotel Dorsett, even if nobody else knew anything about the event but Han Yue was not one of them. Even though the surveillance video from that night had been erased quickly and everyone who knew of anything were told to not share a world, but Manager Han was finally about to find out the truth of that night.

Precisely because he knew about the past, a lot more thoughts went through Boss Han’s mind when he saw Yan Shuyu. Most others just thought that Boss Zhou and this Miss Yan seemed to be very intimate with each other, but Han Yue wondered if there was other message that Boss Zhou was trying to send by bringing Yan Shuyu with him as his date.

In Han Yue’s mind, Yan Shuyu stood out among other women. He had always thought of her as someone with nothing special about her other than her looks. Pretty girls like her were normally more prideful than their peers and the same could be said about her. The ambitious in her eyes might fool others but not Han Yue. He never paid her a lot of attention but what she had succeeded in had exceeded his expectation.

This Miss Yan was truly ambitious and locked onto the big boss at first sight and acted upon it.

When they’ve learned of the real reason of her departure from Hotel Dorsett, Han Yue, along with Chen Jing, of the Guest Department, saw eye to eye – good, the trouble was gone. Han Yue did find out that Boss Zhou did develop some interest later on and asked Manager Chen for a small favor. Boss Han pretended that he knew nothing about it. Respecting the privacy of his boss aside, he also didn’t have that much faith in Yan Shuyu. She was but a girl that was slightly prettier than her peers. Even if Boss Zhou was interested in her, his interest would be short lived.

Never in a million years would he have expected that when he heard about her again, the girl was already the boss’s official girlfriend. In fact, even the boss’s number of after-hour meetings had gone down. That pleased many of his colleagues at the headquarter. In addition to that, Yan Shuyu had also gone in and out of the corporation’s headquarter openly, rode in Boss Zhou’s private elevator, and even tagged along on his business trip.

Having heard all these stories, Han Yue dared not under estimate Yan Shuyu anymore. He figured that there was more to this Miss Yan that she had been hiding. Boss Zhou himself was already fairly unfathomable, and Yan Shuyu was able to be manipulative with him and succeeded. Had she placed her focus on work, she would probably already be his left- or right-hand woman by now. After all, those in the hotel industry put more weight on ability rather than qualifications.
