The hotel manager, hearing Qi Heng speak that way, instantly understood that Qi Heng and Xu Hao were at odds. His complexion towards Qi Heng immediately soured, and he scoffed, "This is an order from above. If you have any problems, go ask our Wei family's higher-ups!"
He made a "please" gesture towards Xu Hao and said, "Mr. Xu, this way, please."
"Yay! Time to eat!"
The morning's rushing around had clearly left Anna famished. Thinking that she was finally going to eat, she became instantly elated, appearing to everyone like a silly and naive young girl.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll be in your care."
The hotel manager was immediately flattered. He hadn't expected Xu Hao to be so young and, instead of being arrogant, to be so approachable. This, to the man who was used to all kinds of situations, was somewhat disconcerting.
However, with his excellent professional demeanor, he personally led them upstairs.
Murmurs spread among the crowd.
