Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 455 Accepting Punishment
Li Haoyu continued.
"If it's meant to break, it will break. If it really doesn't break, even if I have a few more months, it won't make any difference."
"Forehead……"
Xu Hongdou heard what Li Haoyu said.
She didn't know what to say anymore.
That's definitely true.
Li Haoyu was absolutely right.
Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou with a playful expression. "So, Manager Xu, are you willing to accept this gentleman's bet?"
Xu Hongdou paused for a moment before answering.
"I do."
But after she agreed, she saw a mysterious smile appear on Li Haoyu's face.
Xu Hong suddenly had a bad feeling. She felt like a little white rabbit being targeted by a big bad wolf, like she had become someone else's prey.
But that shouldn't be the case!
I clearly had the upper hand in this bet!
Xu Hongdou was puzzled, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Xu Hongdou's expression, Li Haoyu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. No matter how cunning you are, you can't outsmart a skilled hunter like me.
No matter how smart Xu Hongdou is, she couldn't possibly have read the script in advance like I did.
Even so, Li Haoyu's victory in this bet is not guaranteed. He doesn't know exactly when the events will unfold.
Therefore, Li Haoyu still has a chance of losing.
However, the outcome of this bet was irrelevant to Li Haoyu; he simply wanted to plant a seed in Xu Hongdou's heart in advance.
When the Chen Nanxing incident actually happens, Xu Hongdou's inner impulse will sprout recklessly, and his words will leave a mark on her heart.
After saying that, Li Haoyu was about to put his luggage in the room.
As Xu Hongdou turned to leave.
Li Haoyu suddenly added, "Actually, most people's lives don't belong to themselves. It's the big machine of society that plans out how you, as a cog in a machine, will spend your life."
"You just need to follow the steps without thinking. After all, a good screw is one that doesn't think."
"The reason I made this bet with you is actually the same. I used to be a cog in a machine, just a cog in a higher position."
"There's nothing wrong with living a conventional life every day, but it's just too boring. The reason I made this bet with you is simply that I hope it will break."
"Because I want to be a rebellious cog in the machine."
Xu Hongdou was completely confused by Li Haoyu's words.
She really couldn't understand Li Haoyu.
Why did you suddenly say something like that?
Li Haoyu smiled but didn't explain further to Xu Hongdou. Even if he said more now, Xu Hongdou wouldn't understand. ☺🐯 ➅9ร𝐇𝕌𝕩.COM 💲🐉 Some things can only be understood through personal experience.
So Li Haoyu said as he closed the door.
Good night, Ms. Xu. Thank you for your help today.
Xu Hongdou also bowed professionally and then gave a signature service smile.
However, Li Haoyu didn't even look at it.
With a "bang".
He then closed the door to the room.
Xu Hongdou then lowered her guard.
She couldn't help but wonder if she had been bewitched. Otherwise, why would she have made a bet with a customer she had just met? Xu Hongdou pondered for a few seconds, but still couldn't find an answer.
If she didn't want to come, she simply turned around and left to do other work. She'd only recently been promoted to manager, and now she had a lot of work to do.
As for Li Haoyu to Xu Hongdou now.
He was just a rather strange guest.
So, Xu Hongdou went to work humming a song.
……
Li Haoyu lay in bed, but his spirits were quite high.
Although he had just met Xu Hongdou.
But I did have a very deep impression of her.
Exquisite looks are certainly a huge plus, but Li Haoyu has seen countless girls like that. Perhaps only when they're not wearing clothes and just black stockings.
Only then could Li Haoyu be slightly excited.
In fact, during the short time they'd known each other, Li Haoyu had already discovered many of her strengths, such as her beauty, good personality, strong work ability, charm, and decisiveness...
This truly proves the saying: everyone loves to hear what she says, and everyone listens to it.
At the same time, Xu Hongdou is also a very good listener. She knows how to affirm and praise the other person's strengths, and while giving sincere opinions and expressing her own views, she also leaves room for the other person to think.
No matter the situation, Xu Hongdou could always speak gently yet confidently, calmly and deliberately. Li Haoyu summed it up in two words: comfortable.
In short, it's extremely comfortable.
However, girls like Xu Hongdou...
It's generally very difficult for guys to get into her heart.
Li Haoyu has already laid some groundwork today. If he does anything else now, it will seem too deliberate. Xu Hongdou might even discover his intentions, which would put Li Haoyu in a passive position.
Therefore, Li Haoyu decided to calm down for the next two days.
I'll also make some arrangements for my future pursuit of Xu Hongdou.
As for the next two days, why not play jungle for a bit? As for who to play jungle, Li Haoyu already had a target in mind: Li Meiyu, the hotel intern.
Because "Go to Where the Wind Blows" is an original drama and not adapted from a novel, Li Haoyu could only watch it repeatedly. While he was watching it... 🐍👹 ➅9รн𝓤𝕩.cσΜ 🍭🐍
One girl left a deep impression on Li Haoyu—that was Li Meiyu, a beautiful intern at the hotel.
Li Haoyu looked like a recent college graduate. After all, he was a five-star hotel employee, which in some ways was even better than being a flight attendant.
Many five-star hotels even sign agreements directly with schools.
However, to be fair, flight attendant uniforms are far superior to hotel uniforms.
Li Meiyu's ability to be selected for a hotel of the Waldorf Astoria's caliber speaks volumes about her looks. Her face is indeed highly recognizable.
Because Li Meiyu appeared with an adorable baby face.
She speaks in a sweet, childlike voice, which is very endearing.
Especially since she had just started her internship, she was so unaware that she should drink less water at work that when Xu Hongdou reminded her, she looked up with a blank expression, looking quite adorable.
This is definitely Li Haoyu's type.
Such innocent children need to be protected; otherwise, it would be a real shame if they were defiled by other guests. It's best to pick these flowers yourself, rather than asking someone else to do it.
That's why Li Haoyu chose to come to the world of "Where the Wind Blows"—it's a treasure trove where all sorts of beautiful women await her discovery.
This was his first goal.
It would have been better if Li Haoyu hadn't entertained this thought.
This evil thought arose.
Desire ignited like wildfire.
Li Haoyu instantly decided that he wouldn't sleep at all tonight.
He wants to go out and jungle, and gank Li Meiyu.
He is no longer the timid and submissive man he used to be.
Money really gives men courage; anyone with hundreds of millions of dollars on them will speak louder. It's superficial, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Having money is certainly not a bad thing, but if you just overwhelm girls with money, you'll be at a disadvantage. You need to find the right balance to truly dominate.
Li Haoyu directly called the hotel's room service hotline.
He asked the hotel to dry clean his clothes.
As it turned out, Li Haoyu was lucky; the person who came was indeed Li Meiyu.
This saved Li Haoyu a lot of trouble, since even though he was a VIP guest at the hotel and had the right to change service staff, frequent staff changes would inevitably reach Xu Hongdou's ears.
That would make him a scumbag in Xu Hongdou's eyes. Actually, it's not so bad to be seen as a scumbag by girls.
Actually, if a guy has really messed up, it's easier for him to win a girl back. This is because when a girl is in love, all her actions are driven by her emotions.
This is similar to how most girls know that eating desserts will make them gain weight, but they still can't resist wanting to eat them.
Love really does affect your emotions, unconsciously making your emotional thinking take over. The influence of rational thinking becomes negligible, leading you to get more and more involved.
The scary thing is that he's already been blocked by Xu Hongdou before he's even started. So this means that Li Haoyu needs to win over Li Meiyu discreetly.
At this moment, Li Meiyu spoke up, "Mr. Li, I am your personal butler. I will take your clothes to the dry cleaners for you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Li Haoyu glanced at Li Meiyu.
He noticed that she never looked him in the eye.
Li Meiyu shrank back slightly.
This is clearly a sign of a lack of self-confidence.
As expected, Li Meiyu perfectly captured the essence of a young woman who had just graduated.
These girls generally share similar characteristics. To put it more bluntly, they are all inexperienced newcomers to the workforce, having just left school.
Graduation means the end, and even close friends can only get together occasionally after graduation. Loneliness is common for girls at this time, making it a perfect opportunity to take the initiative.
Because they are just starting out in their jobs.
Most of them are only at the stage of understanding the work process. They can only spend their days exhausted from work and study, making mistakes and paying the price, even studying like crazy on weekends, just to gain a foothold in the company...
He didn't plan to go down the "warm guy" route, showering her with attention and concern. While that kind of sweet talk might work, it was too slow.
Therefore, Li Haoyu decided to do the opposite.
Li Haoyu asked directly, "Are you a new intern?"
Li Meiyu was taken aback for a moment.
She nodded slowly.
Li Haoyu said with a smile, "Did you forget to knock and explain your purpose? It wasn't like this when I lived in the Waldorf."
"Although I didn't close the door, even in a regular hotel, shouldn't the correct procedure be to knock three times and state your purpose, and if no one answers, to slightly open the door and ask again?"
"And you just pushed the door open and came in."
Sure enough, Li Meiyu's face turned pale instantly. This was indeed the most basic professional ethic; Xu Hongdou had repeatedly emphasized it to her during training.
Let alone a five-star hotel like the Waldorf Astoria, even in a regular hotel, this kind of behavior can easily leave a bad impression on guests.
This is a very serious matter.
It's important to know that VIP customer reviews are extremely valuable. Especially since Li Meiyu is still in her internship, she could very well be fired because of a single complaint from Li Haoyu.
Li Meiyu couldn't help but mentally berate herself.
"Li Meiyu, Li Meiyu, why are you so disappointing? You finally managed to get into a five-star hotel like the Waldorf Astoria because you performed exceptionally well during the interview."
"You just bragged to your parents about it. If you get fired before you've even been working for a month, that would be incredibly embarrassing."
"How come you can never break your bad habits of being greedy for food and sleep? You always want to eat late-night snacks. You've lost even the most basic professional ethics."
"I just emptied my savings to rent a house, and if I lose my job and breach the contract, I won't even get back three months' rent."
Li Meiyu felt increasingly regretful the more she thought about it.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like a complete failure.
She actually started crying in front of Li Haoyu.
Large tears streamed down her face.
This actually confused Li Haoyu.
He did intend to use a dig at first, but he had only said one sentence when Li Meiyu suddenly burst into tears. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had taken advantage of her.
However, Li Haoyu thought about it again.
He roughly guessed what Li Meiyu was thinking.
So Li Haoyu tentatively said, "Your name is Li Meiyu, right? If you keep crying like this, I'm going to complain to the hotel."
Sure enough, Li Meiyu's expression changed instantly upon hearing the word "complaint".
She immediately stopped crying, then suddenly sniffed, "Mr. Li, please don't complain! I also have the surname Li, and we might even be distant relatives!"
What kind of brain circuits are these?
Is she just naturally dense? Or is she really missing a screw in her head?
Li Haoyu had already struggled to suppress his laughter at Li Meiyu's previous antics. But now, Li Meiyu's nonsensical remarks were finally making him lose his temper.
"Ha ha"
Li Haoyu's laughter echoed in the room; it even produced a slight echo effect because the room was large enough.
Li Meiyu didn't dare to speak, because she knew she was in the wrong and dared not ask Li Haoyu why he was laughing.
She looked at Li Haoyu with teary eyes.
For a moment, Li Haoyu looked at Li Meiyu in front of him. He actually felt that Li Meiyu was a little like a puppy that had made a mistake and was begging its owner for forgiveness.
Li Haoyu stroked his chin and said, "Actually, I care a lot about privacy. I would definitely file a complaint in this situation."
When Li Meiyu heard Li Haoyu say that, her entire spirit collapsed instantly, and her once chubby face seemed to deflate as if all the air had been released.
She became completely dejected.
Li Haoyu even felt that if he remained silent for a little longer...
Li Meiyu would burst into tears again in front of him.
To prevent such a terrible thing from happening again, Li Haoyu didn't keep him in suspense any longer, after all, Li Meiyu's ability to cope was clearly far below that of a normal person.
Li Haoyu continued, "But considering you're a new intern, it's understandable that you might make a mistake."
"If you could agree to one or two of my conditions, I think the complaint could be avoided."
Li Meiyu's eyes lit up instantly. She looked at Li Haoyu expectantly, wanting to hear what conditions he would propose.
"If you're willing to accept the punishment."
"Then we can wipe the slate clean."
