Chapter 725 - 706 Flattering
Lou Xi had previously researched information about the hotel’s sales department, and Ji Nanming had already given her materials before. She felt her theoretical knowledge was quite rich.
But anything is easier said than done.
After Lou Xi checked in with Allen, he arranged a workstation for her—a large cubicle. Lou Xi got a spot by the window; it was quite a prime location.
Since the hotel would be opening in Nancheng in half a year, all the employees were very busy. After a brief greeting with Lou Xi, they all went about their own tasks.
Lou Xi did not feel she was treated specially, just as Ji Nanming had said. Here, she was just an ordinary employee, with no special privileges.
This work environment made Lou Xi feel very comfortable.
The difficulty of the job, however, exceeded Lou Xi’s expectations; just filtering the hotel’s VIP clients gave her a headache.
Since the hotel followed a high-end route, only a small portion of the rooms were open to the general public. For the rooms and suites not open to the public and the usage of business conference halls, client data needed to be filtered.
There were thousands of documents waiting for Lou Xi to review—a considerable amount of reading.
Before she knew it, it was lunchtime.
When Lou Xi heard her colleague call her, she realized she was hungry, grabbed her work badge, and went to eat with them.
Lou Xi joined the group; a girl about her age came over, and compared to other employees, she seemed warmer and easier to get along with.
"Hi, I’m Mai Zi. I joined the hotel just a week before you." Mai Zi was a smart girl, wearing a suit and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. "We’ll be colleagues from now on, so let’s learn from each other!"
"I should be the one learning from you. I just joined the hotel and am not familiar with anything. Guide me, please."
Mai Zi laughed out loud at Lou Xi’s words.
"Let’s support each other on the bright road to success!"
"Alright!"
Lou Xi knew that coming out to work meant meeting interesting people, like Mai Zi.
She seemed very capable, but was actually quite humorous, always making people feel comfortable in conversation.
At the hotel restaurant, Lou Xi found the employee cafeteria was no worse than a five-star hotel’s, with everything from sashimi to oysters to steaks.
"Our work badges have meal allowances each month. When we eat at the employee cafeteria, it’s very cheap. It’s another company perk!" Mai Zi explained to Lou Xi. "Today, since you’re new, your badge might not have the meal allowance yet, I’ll treat you!"
"Oh, I couldn’t possibly accept. I’ll pay cash." Lou Xi quickly refused, not wanting to let a colleague treat her just as she joined, even though the meals were cheap.
"It’s okay, when your badge gets the meal allowance, you can treat me in return." Mai Zi said casually, helping Lou Xi grab a tray.
At this moment, another colleague from the sales department came over to grab a tray. Hearing the previous conversation between Mai Zi and Lou Xi, she snorted coldly and said, "Sucking up so soon, why not focus your mind on the work."
Lou Xi looked at the name on the woman’s badge; it said Cheng Xiao.
She looked to be in her thirties, with neatly cut short hair and a slightly cold demeanor.
After hearing this, Lou Xi paused.
Was Mai Zi just sucking up?
