Chapter 1969: Chapter 1967: Water Nourishes Wood
Growing up abroad, receiving a good education, with a decent family background, yet decisively returned to Huaxia Country with Qin Yize, and now serves as the general manager of Qiaoze Grand Hotel.
The hotel’s name is derived from the ranch’s name, which is also a combination of the two names.
Gu Qiaoqiao obviously knows the thoughtful intentions of Qin Yize. Her perspective on money now greatly differs from before; she recalls when she first came back after being reborn with only a few dollars in hand, but now her assets have grown enormously like a snowball.
However, she is truly moved by Qin Yize’s expression of heart. The name is neither grand nor high-end, quite inconspicuous within the hotel, but Gu Qiaoqiao knows it’s Qin Yize telling others that everything he owns now is shared with his wife.
She recalls seeing the big five characters on the plaza earlier—Qiaoze Grand Hotel.
Yet, how could it not be grand, how could it not be high-end!
Gu Qiaoqiao’s "Qiao" indeed holds the fort completely.
Moreover, according to feng shui, these names complement each other; "Qiao" carries the meaning of trees, while "Ze" represents water. From the perspective of the five elements, water nourishes wood, making these words synergistic, naturally facilitating success and an influx of wealth, the best mind power for an enterprise.
The general manager, surnamed Ou, whom Gu Qiaoqiao has met once before, this being their second meeting. Qin Yize whispered a few words to him, and he politely nodded toward Gu Qiaoqiao, then said, "I’ll go attend to my tasks first, President Qin and Madame, feel free to explore. I’ll instruct my staff not to disturb you."
Qin Yize slightly curled his lips, gave him a slight nod, then General Ou turned and left, leaving Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao without hotel staff accompanying them.
Qin Yize leisurely guided Gu Qiaoqiao around the lobby.
After circling once, Gu Qiaoqiao discovered a problem. She stood before a green plant taller than a person, a very precious tree, luxuriant with beautifully trimmed shape, its green leaves sparkling with a crystal sheen; this tree symbolizes wealth and fortune, thus often bought by vendors to place in business venues.
Qin Yize noticed Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression and quietly asked, "Is there a problem with this tree?"
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "The tree is fine; it’s just placed incorrectly." She then pointed to others, "These plants all have similar issues to some extent."
Qin Yize paused momentarily and softly asked, "Is it serious?" Gu Qiaoqiao laughed and shook her head, "Not serious, a slight adjustment in position could slightly shift the surrounding aura."
Then she started explaining the placement and arrangement of the plants to Qin Yize.
Some things are clear to insiders but entertaining to outsiders. When Gu Qiaoqiao explained, Qin Yize understood; though the plant placement issues weren’t major, a little adjustment could establish a complementary relationship with the surrounding aura.
Meaning, the surrounding aura and the aura of the green plants blend together, forming a natural formation for gathering spiritual energy according to Mystic Sect teachings.
However, rather than calling it a formation, it’s more like a magnetic field. Overall, placing them correctly offers significant benefits to Qiaoze Grand Hotel, guests feel refreshed and cheerful upon entering.
Imagine which guest wouldn’t want to stay at a hotel like this?
Qin Yize then summoned the lobby manager, handed her pen and paper, and as they walked, Gu Qiaoqiao discussed the optimal locations for various valuable plants. Although the manager didn’t know the rationale, obeying the master’s words was unquestionably right.
Evidently, the directives came from the lady of the house, but these ideas just revolved internally within her mind, leading to complete execution of Qin Yize’s orders.
After circling the entire hotel, it took more than an hour.
Not only the plants but other furnishings as well.
Though Qin Yize wouldn’t let Gu Qiaoqiao review any further, instead took her to the luxury suite on the top floor...
Finally taking his wife out for some relaxation, shocked to find Gu Qiaoqiao tired after more than an hour, though it didn’t weary Gu Qiaoqiao, he wouldn’t let her view anymore.
What’s been done so far is quite commendable.
But having a wife with such abilities still made him very happy, for it also proves Gu Qiaoqiao’s substantial interest in the hotel.
Thus, the couple spent a day and night at their family’s hotel.
Tasting gourmet food, experiencing the spa aromatherapy, drinking wine, listening to music, swimming endlessly in the outdoor pool...
The other fitness facilities were also fully equipped.
Throughout this day, Qin Yize had Gu Qiaoqiao experience almost every leisure activity available.
After all, it’s a hotel, not solely a fitness and entertainment venue, yet the hotel’s scale alongside its corresponding services was astonishing.
Undeniably, when Qin Yize decides to pursue something, he ensures it’s done to the utmost perfection, the best possible.
This Qiaoze Grand Hotel is the finest example.
Time flew swiftly. After attending Dongfang Yu and Shang Qing’s wedding, Gu Qiaoqiao received a call from her uncle and then drove with Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei to Qiaoze Ranch.
Because her uncle had finished handling the bead.
Expecting powder, surprisingly it was like sugar spheres that dissolved instantly, luckily Xiao Bei wasn’t around having been taken out for horseback riding by Ling Nan, avoiding Xiao Bei’s inevitable clamoring for a taste.
This object is extremely rare in contemporary times, if not for sheer chance, it’s unlikely Gu Junbai could acquire such a Mirage Bead.
It is simply fortuitous, or perhaps Xiao Bao’s fortune.
After consuming it, maybe the taste was exceptionally good, the little guy smacked his lips, seemingly craving more.
Gu Qiaoqiao attentively inspected, sensing Xiao Bao’s aura lightly subdued by another, gentle yet firm, presumably the Mirage Bead’s ability.
Now at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao could finally relax.
Previously, her mind had been harboring concerns.
Currently, Xiao Bao’s ability does him no favors; the child is too young, exposed to gore or disturbing scenes impacts his growth negatively.
He possesses the skill and foundation, deciding upon maturity isn’t late, they could even seek his opinion then.
