After Returning Home, The Female CEO Gave Me A Daughter Chapter 21

Shen Qingyan stepped up to the service desk and spoke to the receptionist.

"Miss Shen, good afternoon. Please wait a moment, I'll check your reservation right away."

The receptionist smiled and began working at the computer.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out from the back.

Once he reached the lobby, he scanned the area as he walked, finally locking his gaze on Tang Chen's group. He quickened his pace and jogged over.

"Manager Li!"

"Manager Li..."

Seeing Li Tao, all the front desk staff greeted him respectfully.

But Li Tao paid them no attention at all.

It wasn't that he was putting on airs.

It was that he genuinely had no time to respond!

Sorry for the delay, won't miss updates. Please support with flowers, monthly tickets, and evaluation tickets!

: The respectful manager? He's basically their boss! 5 more chapters for flowers!

Li Tao hurried over to Tang Chen, not even stopping to catch his breath, and said quickly, "Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry, something small just came up over there, I..."

"It's fine. Are our rooms ready?"

Tang Chen bounced Tang Yao in his arms a couple of times and cut off his apology with a light laugh.

"They're ready! I've arranged our best Presidential hot spring suite for you! Please, follow me!"

Li Tao let out a sigh of relief, nodded hastily, and gestured in a direction.

Seeing Gao Fei behind Tang Chen carrying luggage, he immediately turned to the staff: "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take Mr. Tang's luggage!"

The stunned receptionists snapped back to reality and quickly came out to take the two suitcases from Gao Fei.

They dealt with all kinds of people every day here, so they knew perfectly well—

anyone who could make Li Tao act like this was definitely a big shot beyond their imagination.

They all felt a chill of fear.

Good thing they hadn't shown the slightest neglect, or else...

"Mr. Tang, I'll head down then."

Gao Fei said, after the luggage was taken.

"No need. You're staying here too. Eat what you want, play what you want, don't worry. I'll contact you in advance if anything comes up." Tang Chen said with a light smile.

"This..."

"Go on, get this gentleman settled!" Li Tao said sharply.

"Yes, Manager Li."

A female receptionist nodded, extended her hand, and gestured a direction for Gao Fei: "Sir, this way, please."

"Alright then. Mr. Tang, just reach out if you need anything."

Gao Fei waved and followed the receptionist away.

He couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

Since Tang Chen returned to the country, his temper and personality had become much gentler.

Was this the change that love and family brought?

For the first time in thirty years as a lifelong bachelor, a glimmer of longing for love and a family shone in his eyes...

"Let's go."

Tang Chen looked at Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan nodded and, together with Tang Chen carrying Tang Yao, followed Li Tao toward the rooms.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Tang Chen's profile.

The confusion and shock in Shen Qingyan's eyes lingered, refusing to fade.

Getting a reservation here was tough.

Especially the Presidential hot spring suite—the price wasn't too outrageous, but it was vastly different from the regular hot spring rooms, so supply basically never met demand.

When she called to book, the receptionist had directly told her the Presidential hot spring suite was sold out.

And yet...

Of course.

What shocked her most was the general manager's attitude toward Tang Chen.

The place's popularity and daily revenue probably rivaled that of a medium-sized company.

And the general manager here was so deferential to Tang Chen, almost to the point of being fearful and uneasy...

This...

"Mr. Tang, this is the place."

Li Tao arrived at Suite 888, swiped the door open, and handed the room card to Tang Chen with both hands.

Tang Chen took the room card, then took the luggage from the staff member, saying, "You don't need to bother. If I need anything, I'll contact you."

"Very well, Mr. Tang. Have a wonderful and enjoyable time!"

Li Tao bowed to Tang Chen, and the staff member who had brought the luggage quickly bowed as well.

Tang Chen nodded, holding Tang Yao in one arm and pulling the suitcase with the other, and walked into the suite.

After closing the door behind him.

Tang Chen noticed the confusion in Shen Qingyan's gaze.

He smiled and said, "My company holds shares in this place, so I'm technically their boss."

Tang Yao's skiing talent, Dad, hurry and save Mom! Chapter 6, begging for favorites.

Shengtang Group had a sizable investment firm in Great Xia, which had invested in numerous projects domestically over the years.

With Tang Chen's exceptional business acumen, every single one of these investments had yielded several times the returns.

Take this resort, for example.

And that investment firm was currently being managed by Liu Ying.

Liu Ying was Liu An's biological older sister.

Both siblings had graduated from Harvard University's Finance Department.

After Liu An became Tang Chen's chief assistant, he knew the domestic investment firm was looking for a CEO, so he didn't shy away from recommending family and recommended Liu Ying to Tang Chen.

Once Tang Chen confirmed she had sufficient capability, he didn't hesitate at all—trusting the person he employed—and directly placed her in the position of CEO of the domestic investment firm...

"Holds shares in this place?!"

Shen Qingyan was startled.

She realized.

Tang Chen's situation was probably much better than she had imagined.

After all, just this place's annual revenue alone likely exceeded ten million.

And Li Tao's deferential demeanor meant that Tang Chen's shares must be substantial...

Inevitably.

Shen Qingyan felt a surge of curiosity and admiration for Tang Chen.

She had inherited Shen Fei's group, giving her a starting point, yet it was still unstable.

Tang Chen's parents' company had already gone bankrupt before they passed away, so all he inherited was likely a mountain of debt.

But now, he had already achieved such results...

Thinking about her own difficult years.

Looking at Tang Chen, Shen Qingyan's eyes flickered.

"For him to have come this far, he must have endured a lot of hardship too!"

"Daddy, why is the water here going glug-glug?"

Tang Yao ran over to the hot spring pool, pointing at the bubbling volcanic spring, and called out to Tang Chen.

"Because the water in the pool is a hot spring,"

Tang Chen walked over, rubbing her little head as he said.

"But Mommy said that when water goes glug-glug, it means it's boiled and ready to eat. So if we soak in it later, will we get boiled too?" Tang Yao tilted her head and asked.
