Episode 2 'Everything Goes Through'——A life separated from him and her
Chapter 394
Qiao Si moved out of the Qiao family mansion that night.
Before leaving, Joss had no illusions that he would care, and the facts proved that he really didn't care.
A few days after she moved out of Qiao's house, she got news from Qiao's servant that he also left Paris and went to New York the next day.
Obviously, her departure had no impact on him at all.
She was not sad or uncomfortable because she had known this would be the result.
Fortunately, she didn't let herself go on like that.
…
Two months later.
She took a taxi from the hotel where she worked to her apartment.
After leaving Qiao's house, she found the apartment she now lives in from the rental advertisement in the newspaper.
The apartment was naturally incomparable with the luxury of Qiao's family, but it was also quiet and elegant, so she paid two years' rent to live here.
During the day, she would stay with Rachel at home, and at night, she would go to the five-star hotel where she worked for more than half a month to play the piano.
Speaking of this job, it is not easy.
At that time, she had just moved out of Qiao's house. She was at a loss and didn't know how she would gain a foothold in this society. The only thing she knew was that she had to find a job so that she could be truly independent and strong and not be a worm in society.
For more than a month, she tried to apply for multiple jobs.
Because she had no work experience, even though she had academic qualifications, she was rejected by the company.
Then she thought about the service industry, which had certain barriers to entry. Unfortunately, the service industry was too tiring and left her little time to spend with Rachel, so she started looking for a job that worked at night.
Finally, she found a job that she is very satisfied with, the work is not very tiring and she has a lot of time at home - a pianist.
She had practiced piano since she was a child, so she was confident when she applied for a job as a pianist. Sure enough, the manager of this five-star hotel accepted her and made her a powerful employee of the hotel.
Her job is to play the piano in the hotel lobby every night for guests coming in and out of the hotel.
In order to create an elegant environment, the hotel set up such a position.
She is very happy that she got this job, because at least for now, she is still very satisfied with the job in front of her.
"Rachel, hurry up and give Mommy a hug. Mommy has to go to work. You have to stay at home and listen to your mother!"
At 6:30 in the evening, Joss kissed Rachel and said goodbye to her daughter reluctantly.
Rachel nodded obediently, and the little girl, who had gradually become fluent in speech, explained seriously, "Mommy, you have to come back soon..."
"Well, come on, kiss mommy."
After Rachel chewed on her face, Qiao Si said goodbye to Rachel with satisfaction, turned around and left the house, and handed Rachel over to her pa mother who followed her and moved out of Qiao's house.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Qiao Si, who put on a white evening dress, sat in front of the piano in the lobby on time.
She likes the environment here very much, so she doesn't find it hard to work until ten o'clock. Sometimes she can calm down while playing the piano.
The delicate piano sound echoed melodiously in the white and elegant hotel lobby...
Qiao Si was immersed in the beautiful music of the piano. She didn't know that a tall and tall man, wearing a dark suit and exuding an aloofness, walked out of the hotel elevator at this moment.
The general manager of the hotel followed the indifferent man flatteringly and said respectfully, "Mr. Li, you see this is the latest design of the hotel lobby, which is mainly classical and simple European... Many guests say they like the elegant environment here.
The occupancy rate is also 30% higher than before.”
Li Chengyao is the owner of 65% of the star hotels in Paris. His hotels are famous in many countries. His precise vision and wise business acumen have always been talked about by the industry. However, he has a low-key personality and rarely
He attends public events, so he is rarely known to the world.
"Um."
"Mr. Li, let me show you the hotel's special honeymoon suite..."
The general manager pointed to the road ahead and greeted his boss respectfully.
Li Chengyao's steps stopped slightly at this moment.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the beautiful woman playing the piano in the hotel lobby.
Her profile... reminded him of déjà vu.
Li Chengyao's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
The general manager of the hotel said tremblingly, "Mr. Li, is there something wrong somewhere..."
The secretary who was following Li Chengyao didn't understand why the boss stopped walking at this moment.
Li Chengyao said quickly, "Who is she?"
Only then did the general manager of the hotel notice that the boss's eyes were on the employee sitting in front of the piano. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The person from the human resources department told me that her surname was Qiao, and she was a newly recruited piano player.
Teacher, she looks good and plays the piano well. She agreed with our application requirements, so we admitted her."
Li Chengyao didn't say anything more and just nodded lightly.
On the way to the elevator on the other side, Li Chengyao passed by Qiao Si who was playing the piano.
His eyes naturally fell on her beautiful face, which was concentrating on playing the piano.
This face is so touching.
Qiao Si didn't know if she felt someone was watching her. She raised her eyes and glanced ahead while playing the piano.
Inadvertently, her eyes met a gaze.
Qiao Si was stunned for a moment, remembering that the manager had reminded her not to look around when playing the piano to prevent the residents from feeling uncomfortable, so she quickly lowered her head, without even having time to clearly see the face of the person who was looking at her.
Looks.
Her little panic caught Li Chengyao's eyes.
Rarely, he curled up the corners of his mouth slightly and walked into the elevator unobtrusively.
-……
At ten o'clock in the evening, Joss got up from the piano. She was getting ready to get off work. She accidentally caught a glimpse of a man sitting on the sofa not far away from her, wearing a dark suit, who looked extraordinary and exuded nobility.
.
Handsome men always make women take a second look, and Qiao Si is no exception.
In fact, she just glanced at the man out of the instinct of attraction to the opposite sex, but she never thought that the man's eyes were also looking at her.
Qiao Si was a little stunned, because the way this man looked at her seemed familiar...
However, there are not many handsome and wealthy men in the world, but her favorable family conditions have allowed her to meet many of them since she was a child. Therefore, although he is somewhat familiar with it, he is not very curious about this stranger, so she
He looked away calmly, picked up his bag and prepared to clock in at the hotel to get off work.
However, when she walked to the check-in room, a man in a black suit who had been standing behind the handsome man and looked like an assistant or bodyguard walked towards her.
"Hello, Miss Qiao."
Qiao Si paused and said, "Uh, hello."
The man said in a respectful tone, "That person sitting over there is my boss. He has been listening to you playing the piano... He said that your piano sound is as beautiful as you. He asked if he was honored to know you.
.”
"Sorry, it's inconvenient." Although the man did seem to be extraordinary, she was never willing to accept such a chat.
The subordinate didn't say anything else and just made way for Qiao Si like a gentleman.
Qiao Si walked straight to the check-in room without looking at Li Chengyao.
When Qiao Si walked to the check-in room, the assistant walked towards Li Chengyao and said, "Mr. Li."
Li Chengyao held a glass of red wine in his hand, and his eyes fell lightly on Qiao Si's slender back.
"She refused."
Li Chengyao said "hmm" lightly and said nothing.
The assistant said, "Do you want me to go to the human resources department and ask for her background information and phone number?"
Li Chengyao shook his head, "No need."
"That……"
Li Chengyao took a sip of red wine and simply said, "Xiaoyan, postpone the progress of the inspection. I want to stay here for a few nights."
"Yes, Mr. Li." The secretary who stood silently behind Li Chengyao nodded lightly.
At 10:30 in the evening, Qiao Si returned to the apartment exhausted.
Pa's mother hadn't gone to bed yet, so she helped her cook sweet soup for her late night snack.
Qiao Si went to the room and took a look at Rachel who was sleeping soundly, and then she felt relieved and went out to drink the sweet soup.
Seeing Qiao Si's tired look while drinking sweet soup, her mother couldn't help but said, "Miss, why don't we move back to the big house..."
Qiao Si was stunned for a moment while drinking the sweet soup. She didn't look up and just said, "I don't want to go back."
"Actually, it's rare for Mr. Qiao to return to the mansion in a year. Even if he comes back, we can ask Special Assistant Tang to tell us in advance..."
Qiao Si gently put down the bowl and said calmly to her mother, "Mom, I chose to move out of home not just to escape him... I want to find a job, train myself, and learn how to live in this society.
Establish a foothold so that you no longer have to rely on others.”
"But you don't need to put yourself through such hard work at all. Even 30% of the Qiao family's property will be enough for your lifetime expenses..."
Qiao Si shook her head, "I can't ask him for this money... If I ask for it, the Qiao family will be completely divided. I don't want to divide the Qiao family's property until the most difficult time."
"Miss, I know what you are thinking...but I feel sorry for you working so hard."
Qiao Si smiled at her mother, "Don't worry, mother, I don't feel it's hard, but I feel that my life has just begun to make sense."
