Chapter 495: Us businesswomen should stick together

Upon leaving work at half past noon, Chi Lian and the children went to the Palace hotel, it was almost time for her lunch meeting with president Qin. She wondered what the woman would think about her showing up with three children. Would she come off as unprofessional? Did it matter what the other thought about her anyway?

At the last minute, she sent the children to the reserved sky view room with Wenli and Spider. She decided to meet in the open dining room with president Qin. It would be better this way because Mei-Mei would probably cause one small ruckus if she stayed with them. Her baby CEO of destruction always struck wherever she went.

As she waited for president Qin, she viewed footage on her tab of the cameras which she gave old tiger and Spider yesterday with strict instructions for them to bug every inch of the Yan family’s house. A team of employees on the technology floor were monitoring the footage and recording everything they thought was important. Chi Lian too has access to the footage, she wanted to check in every once in a while and see if they were doing anything shady.

"I would tell you if something had happened." T4 told her.

"I am afraid that using you to watch everything will fry your system. Just find me some paparazzo worthy moments to capture. We have not posted anything good lately, were it for not for Ringo’s sudden wedding people would think that the peep star is losing her touch."

"I find existing scandals host, I do not manufacture them. Besides, if you want me to be active make me happy, my index is back to zero. What kind of pet owner does not take their pet for a walk, to the beach, swimming."

"Ho," she rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "I your host have not been to the beach since I set foot in this world but you my pet want to be taken to the beach. You should have been the life enjoyment system in that case, we would both be enjoying life if that was the situation."

"There is no such thing as a life enjoyment system." he retorted.

"T4, I have read novels about Shenong systems, salted fish systems, choice systems, vampire systems, detective systems."

"That’s all fiction," T4 insisted. "Come back to reality."

"Another person would call my reality fiction." she mumbled silently.

She was engrossed in watching camera footage and bickering with T4 that when a waiter tapped her on the shoulder she was slightly startled.

"I apologize ma’am, I just wanted to ask if you would like to take a look at our menu?" he asked politely.

Dressed in white and black with neatly combed hair and a polite but exaggerated and unnecessary smile, he was the picture of a perfect hospitality industry worker. A smile was compulsory in this business, it had to be on your face from the moment you clocked in at work to when you clocked out. These hotels even had smiling and body language experts who trained the workers. A fly could fall on his mouth right now and he would shoo it away while smiling.

"I would like that but I want to change a table first, is it possible for me to sit at one of the pool view tables?" She had looked over when she first arrived but all of them had a reserved marking on top. They had the best view of the large water slide swimming pool, the sky above and they were separated from the rest by a sound proof glass barrier which provided privacy.

"Sorry customer, the tables were all reserved by a private party.

"What if I pay three times the cost of one table?"

"It will not work, the hotel has a first come, first serve policy. You can however upgrade to one of our private rooms, suites or boxes." the waiter responded.

She wanted to eat from this place in the open space but she did not want to make his job unnecessarily difficult so she gave up on the pool view tables.

"Get me a glass of....."

"I am sorry for running late," Someone interrupted them. Chi Lian immediately recognized her as president Qin, she appeared to be flustered as if she had run here.

"It’s okay, it’s only five minutes, I have just settled down myself and I was about to order for a glass of wine. Please, join me." she held her hand out, indicating that president Qin should sit in the chair opposite hers.

"I hope it will not offend you that I made a reservation for the pool view section just in case." President Qin looked at Chi Lian uncertainly, gaging her face for a reaction. If she was displeased she would call it off and simply sit down right here.

"You booked that section?" Chi Lian pointed to the seats where she wanted to move to all along.

"Yes, I wanted the sky view room but someone reserved it." President Qin looked vey apologetic.

"I did." Chi Lian picked her bag, "But my children are up there, I figured we should meet on our own since we might have some business to discuss."

"In that case." President Qin said politely "May I invite you to join me on the pool view side. If it makes you comfortable we can also join your children in the sky view room.

Chi Lian pointed to the pool view side and both of them walked shoulder to shoulder to the reserved section. The waiter that had been serving Chi Lian smiled , feeling so relieved for having acted humbly. The customer that wanted one table, even offering three times the normal price for a table was actually a big fish that also reserved the entire sky view room. People with money could really humble themselves and surprise you at times.

"Pick a side CEO Chi, where would you like to sit?" President Qin said.

"Anywhere will do President Qin, as long as I watch the outside view. But we should not use all these official titles, you can me Lady Chi, Chi-Chi or just Miss Chi. I hope you don’t mind if I call you Miss Qin. Unless you prefer to use the term president."

"No, miss Qin is okay or you can call me Meng-Meng" she smiled happily. "I like how open and free you are, I was so worried that you would be stuffy." President Qin covered her mouth and laughed, "Sorry,"

Chi Lian waved her apology off, "Don’t worry, I was worried that you would be disdainful of me because of how things played out with Du Moxi. You were wiser than I expected for terminating her contract when you did."

"I am a smart woman, and Du Moxi was foolish. You gave that a girl a shot at greatness, if she had continued going down that path you set she would have been remembered forever as one of the best singers in the empire. To be frank, her appearance on the music scene scared many of us. Just when she faded and we sighed in relief you brought three more female up coming singers roughly at around the same time. Big boss, please leave some breathing space for the rest of us." President Qin attempted to make a joke.

"Hahaha," Chi Lian laughed, "You have been in the business much longer than I have, you are the boss here. I have to run ten times faster to catch up with you."

"Bring us a bottle of your most expensive wine," president Qin told the waiter. "Leave the food menu behind." When the waiter was gone she turned her attention to Chi Lian once again. "By the way I hate to be a gossip but I am so curious, is your husband’s brother really married?"

"Eh, don’t tell me you have a crush on him?" Chi Lian chortled.
