Chapter 307 Why Are You So Mean


    "Well, okay. But we did note to check in, " Autumn said coolly. She had already known that the


    hotel was owned by Rachel at the moment, making it impossible for her to want to stay there for even a


    night.


    "Well, what you are here for then?" Rachel asked, looking confused.


    "Here is the thing." One has to be humble when trapped in an inferior situation. Autumn had no choice


    but to exin it to Rachel. "You might have known that there will be aunch event here by the Giant


    Promise Company. We are here for a preview of this venue today. We have to make the preparations


    for the stage backdrop and other relevant things. Could you please take us there?"


    "I''m afraid not." Rachel turned Autumn down without even thinking, which got on I''s nerves at once,


    "What did you mean by no? Are you being difficult with us right now?" I said stepping forward


    towards Rachel.


    "I." Autumn caught hold of I''s hand, giving a sign to calm her down. Afterwards, she said to


    Rachel, "Miss Bai, could you exin more on what you said just now?


    The Giant Promise Company has paid the deposit to the hotel for the reservation. Are you trying to


    scrap the contract by preventing us to evaluate the site now?"


    "Please calm down." With a slight smile on her face, Rachel continued, "The Giant Promise Company


    is a key client in this hotel. Thest thing we would do is to displease them, isn''t it?"


    "Then why are you turning us down right now?"


    "Miss Ye, I know there have been some misunderstandings between you and me before. But those


    things had passed, which I hope would not be distractions in the future between us. Don''t you agree?"


    What Rachel had just said only confused Autumn even more. Autumn could do nothing but keep her


    cool.


    "The truth is that." With a smile on her face, Rachel said slowly, "As you know, I have taken over the


    hotel not long ago. So the decorations in the rooms remain as they are originally, which were done by


    the previous stylist. After all, we don''t want to cause any dy to the guests'' amodation. That was


    why I have taken over the hotel without making any big changes. However, for the assembly hall......"


    With a quick pause, Rachel continued, "It was Edward who used to take care of the hotel. So, as you


    can see, the style here is outdated for me. So I decided to redecorate it starting with the assembly


    hall…… It''s being re-decorated right now. How could I show you around inside where it is such a mess


    at the moment? Letting you do the measurement inside would just stress you out."


    "But……" Frowning slightly, Autumn had known that it would not go that easy. "What we need here is


    just to get the size of the stage. It won''t take us long. We wille out as soon as we could."


    "No way!" answered Rachel firmly. "Miss Ye, I know it is your job to do that. I don''t mean to be hard on


    you. But the stage inside had been demolished already. If you go inside... there will be nothing you can


    do. It''s being painted by the way."


    Before Autumn could say a word, Rachel preemptively said, "And you have nothing to worry about,


    with the decoration. The materials we are using for the decoration are the most environmentally


    friendly. It will definitely not create any issue in theingunch event."


    "Such a coincidence that it has to be redecorated today. Did you do it on purpose?" I did not like


    Rachel at the first sight. She had a strong feeling that Rachel was hiding the truth. What Rachel was


    doing was to stop them from doing the measurements.


    "How could that be……" Pretending to be helpless, Rachel looked at I. "There is no doubt that we


    businesspeople want to increase our revenue. And we achieve it by improving our service. That is why


    we have nned the redecoration before. It is really… It hasn''t been long since I have taken over this


    job. I did not know about theunch event taking ce in the assembly hall until yesterday. However,


    the redecorating has already begun. I am really sorry for that."


    "I don''t think you really are. You are just being mean to us." I no longer wanted to hide her anger.


    "Then how long will it take to finish the re-decoration?" Autumn was more calm than I. Though it was


    clear that Rachel was just being hard on them, there was nothing she could do. On the other hand, she


    knew it was of no help to fall out over this.


    "Do not worry. I will keep an eye on the decorations and make sure that the workers finish the job on


    time. Well, it will take… almost half a month at least, " Rachel said dryly.


    "Half a month? Are you kidding us?" Thest thing I could do at the moment was to calm down. It


    was less than a month before theunch event. If the preparations for the stage backdrop and other


    relevant things weren''t started as soon as possible, it would be impossible to finish it on time.


    "I know there is not much time left. But unfortunately I couldn''t help with that." Rachel said matter-of-


    factly. "And I will try my best to push the workers to work fast. Besides, someone will be sent to inform


    you as soon as the redecoration is finished."


    With things as such, Autumn thought she''d better stay quiet. There seemed nothing she could do but to


    roll with the situation. It was totally bad luck to be stuck with Rachel on something like this.


    Giving a nce at Rachel, Autumn said, "Miss Bai, then please inform me once the re-decoration work


    is done. Because we are really pressed for time."


    "I understand. Don''t worry about that." answered Rachel, nodding slightly. "I''m very sorry to let you


    down today. Youring here was in vain."


    "Pay no mind to it." Autumn tried her best to repress her anger and said their goodbyes. At the sight of


    them leaving, Rachel sneered, "Autumn Ye, the game has just begun. I will be watching when you


    separate from Charles forever. No one could ever touch what has already been in my hand."


    "Autumn, are you going to let her get away with this?" The moment they got into the car, I couldn''t


    help asking Autumn directly. "Rachel is deliberately being difficult to you. How could you act so polite to


    her?"


    "What do you think? Do you think I have any other choice?" How could Autumn not feel the same way


    as I? But Autumn just could note up with any other solution at that time. It was Rachel who had


    the upper hand this time. Autumn just knew, that Rachel would create trouble for her. "Of course I know


    that she did it on purpose. But there''s nothing we can do, is there?"


    With a sigh, Autumn said, "We can only hope that Rachel doesn''t go too far with it. Otherwise, if the


    preparation cannot be started on time after half a month, it will definitely be dyed."


    They had no other choice.


    "Come on, don''t be upset any longer." "Let''s get ready with what we can do first. As for the stage


    backdrop...... let the stylist take his time to do the research on materials. And once we get the


    dimensions of the stage, we''ll work really hard to finish it, even if we work overtime. Three days might


    be enough if we outsource it." Autumn tried to cheer I up.


    "It seems to be the only way......" I nearly chimed in with Autumn. Both of them were upset by


    Rachel.

    It was weekend the next day, Autumn got upte that morning. And I was getting ready to go to her


    hometown.


    "Dad, Mom, are you ready now? Why didn''t you have your things packed up earlier, knowing that we


    set off today?" I said disapprovingly to her parents, who were frantically packing.
