Chapter 360 If you have Fei, choose Fei; if you don't have Fei, choose Yuan.
"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rings.

Liu Qing opened the door and was slightly taken aback to see Sun Guangting standing at the suite door.

Before he could even ask, Gao Yunyue's voice came from inside the room.

"Liu Qing, who rang the doorbell?"

"It's Manager Sun from the hotel's front office."

"I sent him, please let him in."

Liu Qing stepped aside and invited Sun Guangting into the room.

Sun Guangting did not go in to see Gao Yunyue directly, but waited for Liu Qing to close the door before following Liu Qing into the suite's living room.

"Mr. Gao, you wanted to see me?"

Gao Yunyue looked up from the computer screen.

"Manager Sun, I called you here because I want to ask you about someone."

Upon hearing this, Sun Guangting frowned slightly.

In the afternoon, the hotel held a welcome party for Gao Yunyue, and all the heads of the management departments were present.

Logically speaking, everyone in the hotel who deserves Gao Yunyue's attention should have already met her at the welcome party.

"Mr. Gao, who is the person you'd like to inquire about?"

"I don't think I saw the hotel's assistant lobby manager at today's welcome party. If I remember correctly, her name is Yang Tao, right?"

Sun Guangting paused for a moment, then immediately replied:

"Mr. Gao, our previous lobby manager was indeed named Yang Tao, but she has already resigned."

Resigned?
Gao Yunyue's brow twitched, instinctively feeling that something was amiss.

"Why?"

A look of surprise flashed in Sun Guangting's eyes.

Gao Yunyue's expression didn't seem like she was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Therefore, the inside story of Yang Tao's resignation was not that she resigned first to avoid suspicion and then parachuted in a senior management position after the hotel acquisition was completed.

The thought flashed through his mind, and after a moment's pause, Sun Guangting immediately replied:

"Yang Tao resigned on her own, and our hotel did our best to retain her... Judging from the resignation letter she left behind, working at the hotel was probably not the life she wanted, and she wanted to change her lifestyle."

Gao Yunyue stared at Sun Guangting with a look of great interest.

Let me explain in detail how to do it.

"Hmm—I asked her about her plans after resigning, and she said she was going to travel for a while...which is consistent with what she said in her resignation letter."

No sooner had the words been spoken than Gao Yunyue's voice rang out.

"What did she say in her resignation letter?"

Just as Sun Guangting was about to answer, Gao Yunyue suddenly seemed to have thought of something and interrupted him.

"This is an internal matter for the hotel; if it's inconvenient to discuss, then that's fine."

Sun Guangting hurriedly said, "It's convenient. Yang Tao wrote 'The world is so big, I want to go see it' at the end of her resignation letter. This should be the most impressive resignation reason I have ever received."

Gao Yunyue nodded subconsciously.

That's certainly quite carefree.

"Is Yang Tao's family from Yanjing?"

“Yes, she is an only child. Her father has passed away, and her mother has just retired.” Sun Guangting told her everything he knew.

After hearing this, Gao Yunyue suddenly said:
Does she have a boyfriend?

Well--

Sun Guangting hesitated for a few seconds.

He's starting to consider overturning his previous assessment.

Was Gao Yunyue asking a question she already knew the answer to, or was she just being deliberately obtuse?

"I haven't heard that she has a boyfriend."

"Was that room on Ono booked by her using her own internal discount quota?"

"Yes, Yang Tao and Mr. Yang are alumni. They met on their first day at the hotel."

Liu Qing stood aside, listening to Gao Yunyue and Sun Guangting's back-and-forth questions and answers, feeling extremely nervous.

Yang Tao must not tell the hotel staff about the house in Jiahao New City, otherwise her identity as an inside agent will be exposed.

Just as she was praying, Gao Yunyue's phone suddenly rang.

Gao Yunyue glanced at the caller ID on her phone screen, then looked up and smiled slightly at Sun Guangting.

"Manager Sun, thank you for coming over here."

"Of course... If there's nothing else, I won't disturb Mr. Gao's rest."

Gao Yunyue nodded, signaling Liu Qing to see Sun Guangting off.

As the two reached the door, Sun Guangting told Liu Qing to stop.

He opened the door himself and left, making sure to close it behind him.

Liu Qing returned to the living room and saw Gao Yunyue answering a phone call, holding the phone to her ear.

On the other end of the phone came Yang Guanjun's slightly excited voice.

"Aunt Yue, there's definite news about what you asked me to inquire about."

Gao Yunyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Who was Ono's song written for?"

Liu Qing, who was standing nearby, also secretly pricked up her ears.

"It was written to Ayao."

"what?"

Gao Yunyue frowned deeply.

The lyrics of "The Wind Rises" clearly use "she," so how could it possibly be written for Xie Zhiyao?
Yang Guanjun, on the other end of the phone, realized that Gao Yunyue had misunderstood and hurriedly explained:

“Aunt Yue, what I mean is that Muye wrote this song based on Ayao’s personal experience… Ayao kept it a secret for a long time. He had a crush on a girl in his first year of high school. Later, the girl transferred to another city, but he never gave up. He saw the girl again that summer after the college entrance exam, but in the end, they were destined to be apart. Muye wrote this song to comfort him.”

It sounded reasonable, but Gao Yunyue still felt that something was off.

"Champion, did Ayao tell you this herself?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Aunt Yue?"

"Do you believe?"

"Believe it or not, Makino and Ayao have been inseparable since childhood, it's perfectly normal for Makino to write songs for Ayao."

Yang Guanjun clearly misunderstood Gao Yunyue's meaning, but he immediately added another sentence.

“Aunt Yue, although I haven’t found out who the girl A Yao likes is, I believe that Mu Ye would not write a song for A Yao for no reason. Since there is this song, it means that A Yao’s crush on that girl is definitely true.”

Hearing Yang Guanjun's confident words, Gao Yunyue's brows furrowed even more.

"Champion, do you think it's possible that Ono's song wasn't written for Ayao, but for himself?"

Yang Guanjun, on the other end of the phone, thought Gao Yunyue was joking with him.

"Aunt Yue, let me tell you this: among all the girls in our high school, there was absolutely none who could surpass Jiang Nansun in looks... Anyway, I don't believe that Mu Ye would have fallen for any girl in high school, let alone write a song for her."

Even Gao Yunyue couldn't refute this now.

The son not only inherited his looks, but also his taste.

Putting herself in his shoes, Gao Yunyue felt that Yang Muyi's requirements for his partner must be even higher than her own.

Taking Xu Hongdou as an example, Gao Yunyue speculated that Yang Muye liked girls who were pure and innocent.

Based on the information available to him at the moment, the only girl around Yang Muyi who fits this description is Jiang Nansun.

At most, add Yang Tao, who suddenly resigned.

Comparing them, Xu Hongdou is still the one who suits my taste the best.

Looking back at the previous question with this answer in mind, it seems to make sense now.

Before hanging up, Gao Yunyue specifically told Yang Guanjun not to tell anyone about this, especially not back in their hometown of Yunmiao Village.

Yang Guanjun verbally agreed, but whether he actually listened is unknown.

Putting down her phone, Gao Yunyue looked up at Liu Qing.

"Manager Sun just mentioned that Xiao Ye and Yang Tao are alumni, so you should know Yang Tao too, right?"

"Yes, I know her. Senior Yang Tao is two years ahead of me. She majors in Tourism Management. When I was a freshman, she was already the vice president of the student union," Liu Qing answered cautiously.

He was afraid that Gao Yunyue would notice something was wrong.

Gao Yunyue nodded thoughtfully.

Tourism Management Major

So that means you're in the same major as Xu Hongdou?
It seems my judgment was correct; my son not only likes girls with a pure and innocent look, but they even share the same major.

"You know Yangtao and Hongdou. Who do you think is prettier?"

Liu Qing was slightly taken aback.

It's not that the question is too difficult, but rather that it's too easy.

This is practically a free point question.

Since Gao Yunyue likes Xu Hongdou so much, the correct answer is definitely to cater to her preferences.

"Personally, I would definitely choose red bean."

Unsurprising answer.

Gao Yunyue nodded, then suddenly changed the subject: "Since you know Yang Tao, help me contact her and see if you can arrange for her to meet me."

Liu Qing was completely stunned.

Gao Yunyue didn't give her any chance to react: "If you're not familiar with Yang Tao or don't have her contact information, you can ask Manager Sun to help you arrange a meeting. It would be best to set the date for tomorrow... Also, don't tell Xiao Ye about this."

Liu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

How could she not understand that Gao Yunyue's last words contained a subtle warning?

Could it be that Gao Yunyue found out about my betrayal?

With a feeling of unease, Liu Qing left room 8006.

After entering the elevator, Liu Qing considered for two seconds before deciding to call Yang Tao first.

While Liu Qing was on the phone, Gao Yunyue was also chatting with Xu Hongdou on QQ.

"Red Bean, did you watch the video I sent you?"

"Just finished watching it."

"how do you feel?"

"The scenery is so beautiful—Auntie, is that Yunmiao Village?"

"Yes, do you like it? I'll take you back for a look around sometime."

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I've already made plans with my roommate to go to Dali together when we have time. We'll definitely go back to Yunmiao Village then, but we might not be able to find the time to go together."

"It's alright. Just let me know when you're coming. Even if I can't get away, I'll arrange for someone to meet you there."

"Thank you auntie."

"Oh, right, Red Bean, I'll send you something else."

Gao Yunyue dragged the sheet music file for "The Wind Rises" into the chat window and clicked "Send File".

Xu Hongdou immediately accepted the request.

The image wasn't large, and the transfer was completed in about ten seconds.

"This is the sheet music for the song they played in the video. I got it from Ono... This song was written by Ono based on the personal experience of a good friend of his. I have confirmed that it should be true."

"Okay, Auntie, I understand."

The girls' dormitory of Yanjing Business School.

After typing those words, Xu Hongdou's cheeks felt slightly hot.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what Yang Muyi had written in the lyrics that made Gao Yunyue personally come down to explain it to him.

All four of us are in the dorm today.

Chen Nanxing and Yang Zixi were gathered behind Xia Qing, intently watching the video link that Zhu Suosuo had posted in the group, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

"Is this Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake? The scenery is beautiful."

"This piece of music is also very nice; it goes well with the scenery."

As Chen Nanxing and Yang Zixi were discussing, Xia Qing suddenly turned around.

"Why don't you praise the performers? All six of them are handsome men and beautiful women, and they played very professionally."

Chen Nanxing countered, "Qingqing, do you think the three boys playing the piano in the video are more handsome, or is Yu Tu more handsome?"

Before Xia Qing could speak, Yang Zixi's voice rang out first.

"Is there even a question? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Xia Qing's eyes, Yu Tu is definitely the most handsome."

Xia Qing said with some dissatisfaction, "Can you guys stop dragging Yu Tu into everything?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side.

If we're going to make a comparison, we should compare it to Yang Muye.

Following Xia Qing's words, Chen Nanxing turned to Xu Hongdou and suggested, "Should we ask Suo Suo on QQ if this song was written by Yang Muye?"

"No need to ask, it must have been written by Yang Muye." Yang Zixi made a very arbitrary conclusion based on her intuition.

Xia Qing was interrupted by Yang Zixi and was thinking about how to respond when Xu Hongdou's voice suddenly rang out.

"It was written by Yang Muyi, and I have the sheet music here."

Chen Nanxing, Yang Zixi, and Xia Qing were all stunned.

Knowing that the three of them would definitely press for details, Xu Hongdou spoke first: "Aunt Gao sent it to me. She said that this song was written by Yang Muyi based on the true experience of a good friend."

Chen Nanxing blurted out, "Isn't it Xie Zhiyao who came to the welcome party last time?"

Xu Hongdou nodded.

"It's probably him."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Nanxing, Yang Zixi, and Xia Qing all gathered around, urging Xu Hongdou to quickly show everyone what the lyrics were.

Xu Hongdou moved the mouse and opened the image file saved on the desktop.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the windy courtyard.

Yang Tao held her phone, looking utterly shocked.

"Does Mr. Gao want to see me?"

"Senior, from what President Gao said, she seems quite curious about you. Are you free to come over tomorrow?"

"I--"

Yang Tao hesitated for a few seconds, but finally decided to open up.

"Liu Qing, do you think I should go?"

"If there's nothing else, you'd better come over, because just now, General Manager Gao called over your hotel's front office manager, Manager Sun, in front of me, specifically to ask about your resignation."

"What did Manager Sun say?"

"He relayed the contents of your resignation letter to General Manager Gao. General Manager Gao was very interested in the sentence you wrote in your reason for resigning, 'The world is so big, I want to go see it,' and also asked me about some things you did at school."

Yang Tao unconsciously gripped her phone tighter.

Although things weren't as bad as I'd imagined, I wasn't mentally prepared at all to meet Gao Yunyue. What if I gave myself away when we met?

Just as Yang Tao was feeling anxious and uncertain, Liu Qing's voice came through the microphone.

“Senior, avoiding this matter will only increase Mr. Gao’s suspicion. My suggestion is that you should come over... I feel that Mr. Gao doesn’t have any ill intentions, he just wants to see you.”

—Then personally confirm whether you or Xu Hongdou are more like a future daughter-in-law.

Of course, this is purely Liu Qing's irresponsible speculation.

Since things have already come to this, let's just enjoy the show.
