You Can Tolerate This Too?

Filming for the web series will take some time, so Zhang Yang naturally entrusted all the coordination with the hotel to Yu Kaili.

After observing Yu Kaili for such a short period of time, Zhang Yang found that her abilities were definitely not a problem, and in terms of loyalty, he felt there was nothing to criticize.

Let's just say he passed the test.

Inside the office, Yu Kaili stood obediently in front of Zhang Yang, listening to his instructions.

"Mr. Zhang, the new performance appraisal plan has been revised and optimized according to your wishes. Would you like to issue it now?"

"Okay, issue it. Have them sign it in the next couple of days." Zhang Yang nodded. "It will take effect on the first of next month."

With fresh talent coming in, it's natural that the old performance evaluation system should also be optimized, with the main focus on clear rewards and punishments, ensuring that every effort is rewarded.

Moreover, they are absolutely magnanimous and never exploitative.

Zhang Yang felt that by coming up with this plan, he could be considered a conscientious capitalist.

"Oh, right, your performance review plan is here." Zhang Yang casually took something out and slapped it on the table. "Take a look, make sure it's okay, then you can sign it."

He determined Yu Kaili's performance evaluation plan.

Yu Kaili was unaware of the specific details.

"This... this..." Yu Kaili picked up the proposal with slightly trembling hands, then her expression instantly became excited, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhang, thank you so much!"

Zhang Yang chuckled at Yu Kaili's tearful gratitude.

In summary, Yu Kaili's annual salary, including performance bonuses, will be about 10% higher than in previous years. Although her current annual salary is not yet a million, it's coming close.

No wonder she was so excited... she was almost crying.

"Your efforts and abilities deserve this salary." Zhang Yang took a pen from the pen holder on the table. "Sign it, and then get back to work."

Yu Kaili took the pen without hesitation and signed her name quickly.

Since arriving in Hangzhou, Zhang Yang has accomplished several significant feats.

An Jia, Zhi Ye, and Xiang Xiaotian are constantly teetering between pretending to be together and actually falling in love. Incidentally, she has also secured a role in a new drama starring the popular young actress Tian Chuxi.

It's been a while since I arrived, and it's time to head back to Magic City.

However, Xiang Xiaotian stayed with her parents for quite a while after returning home, and they planned to wait until she officially celebrated her birthday before going back.

So, Zhang Yang came with two people, but went back alone.

Before leaving, unable to refuse Xiang Xiaotian Wulin No. 1 and had a family dinner.

Inside the large penthouse of Xiang Xiaotian's home in Wulin No. 1.

The atmosphere was lively, with toasts and laughter filling the air.

"Brother Zhang Yang, try this. Oh, and this too, these are all my mom's specialties." Xiang Xiaotian busied herself picking up food and putting it into Zhang Yang's bowl, even putting some in her own mouth.

Zhang Yang's mouth never stopped moving.

To be fair, as expected of someone in the hotel industry, Xiang Xiaotian's mother's cooking skills are comparable to those of top chefs; it's truly delicious.

"Mr. Zhang, how is my cooking?" Dong Yaru asked expectantly from the side.

"You're a master chef! Auntie, why don't you come work as the head chef at my hotel?" Zhang Yang casually remarked.

Anyway, saying nice things doesn't cost anything.

Immediately, Dong Yaru beamed. "You're exaggerating. This is just home-style cooking. As long as you enjoy it, Mr. Zhang, I'll be satisfied."

"Come on, Mr. Zhang, let me toast you. I never expected that we would actually be in the same industry." Xiang Detao raised a bottle of old, yellowed Moutai, its age unknown, and busied himself pouring it for Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang glanced at Xiang Detao, who was all smiles, and was about to cover his wine glass and stop. But then he thought, well, since we're already here, let's enjoy ourselves and make sure everyone has a good time.

"Thanks, Uncle."

The two clinked glasses and drank an unknown amount.

Zhang Yang was completely oblivious, but Xiang Detao, heavily intoxicated, began to talk more.

"Mr. Zhang... Xiao Tian came back that day and showed us the things you gave her. Good heavens, five million! I, as her father, am not as good to my daughter as you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Xiao Tian has a bit of a temper, Mr. Zhang, please be understanding."

"Mr. Zhang, come on, let's have another drink, you and I."

Zhang Yang felt he couldn't drink anymore; the family hierarchy was starting to get messed up from all the drinking.

"Auntie, how about..."

"I'll help him to rest first; he's in a good mood today." Dong Yaru quickly stood up. "Old Xiang, don't drink anymore; I'll take you to rest."

"Rest? What rest? I'm drinking, why should I rest? Hey? Where's Brother Zhang?" He shook his head, his eyes glazed with drunkenness as he looked around for someone.

Dong Yaru quickly stepped in to support him, helping the swaying Xiang Detao towards the bedroom.

"Brother Zhang, come to my bedroom." Xiang Xiaotian suddenly took Zhang Yang's hand and whispered.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang subconsciously stood up as well.

Then, Xiang Xiaotian pulled him into her fragrant bedroom.

"Shh!" Xiang Xiaotian gently lifted her leg and closed the door, looking over with watery eyes.

"What are you doing..." Before Zhang Yang could speak, Xiang Xiaotian hugged him and hooked her arms around his neck.

He lowered his head, and a burning kiss immediately followed.

In the quiet room, there were no other sounds, only the sound of each other's breathing.

The sweet aroma, combined with my current location, instantly evoked an indescribable sense of excitement.

Zhang Yang threw himself into it without a second thought.

I don't know how much time passed...

"You'll come on my birthday, right?" Xiang Xiaotian nestled against Zhang Yang's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Sure, I have things to take care of." Zhang Yang thought of the web series he was about to star in, and wanted to say it, but held back, thinking he would tell her when it was released, it would definitely be quite interesting.

I just hope my acting won't be too bad.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Zhang." Xiang Xiaotian tiptoed and kissed Zhang Yang again. "You must come, I have something to give you then."

"What... is it?" Zhang Yang asked, looking at Xiang Xiaotian's upturned face.

"You'll find out when you get here, or you can guess, but I definitely won't tell you beforehand." Xiang Xiaotian's cheeks flushed, and she looked mysteriously smug. "Anyway, it'll definitely be unforgettable!"

Zhang Yang wrapped his arms Xiang Xiaotian's slender waist, his heart fluttering, and his hands naturally slid down from Xiang Xiaotian's waist.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Xiao Tian? You and President Zhang are inside?"

Zhang Yang released Xiang Xiaotian, and the two looked down at their clothes. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, they walked out as if nothing had happened.

"You two?" Dong Yaru blinked, carefully looking the two of them up and down.

However, no abnormalities were found.

"Mom, Zhang Yang has something to do later, I'll go see him off." Xiang Xiaotian lowered her head, too embarrassed to meet her mother's gaze.

"Is that so? Okay, Mr. Zhang, I won't take up any more of your time." Dong Yaru thought for a moment, "You're welcome to come visit us anytime you have time."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded. "I'll definitely come again next time."

A moment later, Xiang Xiaotian saw Zhang Yang downstairs, and then returned home shortly after.

"Mom, I'm going back to my room."

As soon as she got home, Xiang Xiaotian went straight to her room without saying a word.

"Xiao Tian, wait a minute." Dong Yaru called out to Xiang Xiaotian.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xiang Xiaotian chuckled softly, stopping abruptly, clearly a little guilty.

"Come here, Mom has something to ask you." Dong Yaru beckoned Xiang Xiaotian to her side, then leaned closer, "You and President Zhang, the two of you?"

"No," Xiang Xiaotian's voice suddenly became very soft, but her face became even more beautiful and alluring.

"No? Really?" Dong Yaru's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the beautiful, delicate daughter in front of her. She blurted out, "President Zhang is with you? You can really resist?"

"Oh my god, what are you saying! This is getting more and more outrageous!" Xiang Xiaotian stomped her foot, turned around and went back to her room.

Dong Yaru stared at Xiang Xiaotian's back, the sound of Xiang Detao's thunderous snoring faintly emanating from the room filling her ears. Her expression was one of utter confusion.

···

Although the amount of alcohol he drank at noon was negligible to him, Zhang Yang still planned to return to Magic City early the next morning just to be safe.

As for today... naturally, I'll rest and recuperate at the hotel until I'm fully refreshed.

As Zhang Yang walked through the hotel lobby and prepared to go upstairs, he immediately spotted Qu Shanshan, who was dressed in the hotel uniform and looked extremely dignified.

Yes, her complexion looks quite rosy.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Qu Shanshan walked up and greeted him sweetly.

"Are you busy? If not, come to my place later." Zhang Yang looked at Qu Shanshan. "You can come and give me a report on your work."

"Ah? Okay." Qu Shanshan blushed instantly and replied softly.

Zhang Yang nodded, casually brushed past Qu Shanshan, and then headed straight for the elevator, heading straight for his large suite.

Not long after Zhang Yang entered the suite, there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, Qu Shanshan stood there, looking quite pretty. Beneath her uniform skirt, her long, shapely legs clad in stockings were quite eye-catching.

"Come in," Zhang Yang said.

Qu Shanshan gave a soft "hmm" and walked in, her face flushed.

During the long afternoon, Zhang Yang finally calmed down, relaxed, and listened attentively to Qu Shanshan's rambling report on many work-related matters.

Similarly, he also provided Qu Shanshan a lot of guidance on her work, from which she benefited greatly.

Around three or four o'clock, Qu Shanshan left the suite with small, unsteady steps and a flushed face.

On the way, he bumped into Yu Kaili, who was on patrol.

"Hello, Mr. Yu." Qu Shanshan quickly lowered her head and greeted him softly.

"Qu Shanshan, why aren't you in the front hall? What are you doing here?" Yu Kaili frowned slightly, looking Qu Shanshan up and down. "You... did you go to the boss's?"

"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang asked me about something." Qu Shanshan always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, and would never take advantage of being favored.

"Looking for you?" Yu Kaili was about to ask what she needed, but then her heart skipped a beat. "Oh, I just wanted to ask you something. Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

She resumed her smile, her expression remaining unchanged.

Qu Shanshan responded softly and quickly ran away.

Yu Kaili stood there, watching the departing figure, but her mind was filled with memories of the first time she met Qu Shanshan.

A few years ago, Qu Shanshan, who had just entered the hotel, was a fresh graduate, still quite naive.

They are rather naive and immature in their dealings with others.

She had always thought highly of this girl and originally planned to give her some experience at the grassroots level. She never imagined that things would turn out this way...

"You can't judge a book by its cover!" Yu Kaili shook her head and sighed, seemingly lost in thought.

She certainly wasn't worried that Qu Shanshan would threaten her position.

In the hotel industry, seniority is highly valued, and at least in this hotel, no one can actually replace her as the GM.

Her ability is her value.

As for Qu Shanshan... perhaps her value lies in her youth and beauty?

On the night before leaving Hangzhou, Zhang Yang checked Tian Chuxi's WeChat, exchanged a few polite words, and basically said that he would return to Magic City first, and that the relevant matters here would be handled by Yu Kaili.

After finishing his business, he asked one more question about the new script.

"It'll be quick, Mr. Zhang, don't worry," Tian Chuxi said to him.

"Can I have any expectations?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"Mr. Zhang, you'd better not have too high expectations. The kind you're talking about... I suggest you become an investor yourself in the future, and you decide the script," Tian Chuxi said. "Whatever love and hate, any kind of love-hate relationship, you can cram it in however you like."

"That's not impossible, but can you actually act in it?" Zhang Yang said, half-jokingly.

"It depends... If it's not too outrageous, I might consider it." Tian Chuxi thought for a moment and added, "But I'm very expensive, so you might want to give me a friendly price as a friend."

Zhang Yang smiled, stopping there and not continuing with any more jokes.

He casually opened Tian Chuxi's Moments and happened to see her latest post.

In the photo, Tian Chuxi is wearing sunglasses that cover most of her face, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the background seems to be a series of long alleys with the charm of Jiangnan.

The caption reads, "Hangzhou alleyways, a nostalgic dream of Jiangnan."

Zhang Yang casually gave a thumbs up, put down his phone, and fell into a deep sleep.

··

The next morning, after having breakfast, Zhang Yang briefly explained his work to Yu Kaili, then got into his Cullinan and set off from Hangzhou straight to Magic City.

The entire journey takes about two and a half hours by car.

Around 10 a. m., the skyline outside the car window gradually became majestic, and Magic City was already close at hand.

Upon returning, perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Zhang Yang didn't go to the company or home, but went straight to his business Yunheng Building.

This morning, he chatted with Bei Wei and learned that the renovation of the bookstore/cafe has entered a new phase, and Bei Wei will probably be here all day.

He didn't mention that he was going to the bookstore/cafe, intending to surprise Bei Wei.

Outside the commercial area beneath the Yunheng Building, the jet-black Cullinan slowly came to a stop.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Yang looked out the window and saw that the two-story bookstore-cafe with its glass curtain wall was already taking shape, and it seemed that it wouldn't be long before it was fully completed.

He also saw the young woman walking around inside and outside, talking to staff and designers about something.

She's very busy, but she looks full of energy.

After all, they're busy with their own little business, so naturally they're enjoying it.
