Chapter 17 - I Am Confident

After Zhang Yu Han escaped from his friend's party, he went straight to The Orchid, a luxury hotel under Zhang Group Worldwide. When he arrived, a middle-aged man clad in a gray suit was waiting at the entrance.

Zhang Yu Han nodded towards the middle-aged man and spoke, "Assistant Huo, where is my grandfather?"

"Chairman Zhang is waiting for you inside," Assistant Huo spoke politely before he ushered Zhang Yu Han in.

Zhang Yu Han entered the hotel and walked towards the center of the lobby where an elder man dressed neatly in suit and tie stood. The older man held a walking cane as he looked at the empty surrounding.

Zhang Yu Han bowed as he approached the older man. "Grandfather."

Zhang Jing turned around with a frown as he saw his grandson. "You brat! You're late."

"I'm sorry," Zhang Yu Han apologies and coaxed his grandfather to forgive him. "I went to visit Wei Jun Hao before I came."

The older man cleared his throat before he spoke again. "I haven't seen that kid for a while. What is he up to now?" Zhang Jing had watched his grandson grew up before him, and naturally, he knew Zhang Yu Han's friends. Wei Jun Hao was the closest to him as they both from the same class and had joined the same club.

"He's doing alright. He's throwing a party today," Zhang Yu Han said.

Zhang Jing studied his grandson's expression. "Why didn't you stay at his party?"

"It's fine. It's enough that I showed up and showed my face. After all, Jun Hao only threw the party to pick up girls." Zhang Yu Han said.

What he didn't tell his grandfather was that Jun Hao threw the party for him to meet up with the girl he liked. If his grandfather knew, he would probably ask questions he did not know to answer.

"Besides," Zhang Yu Han continued. "Didn't I promise that I will have dinner with you tonight?" His lips curved into a smile. Then, he lifted his head to look at his surrounding. "What do you think? It looks nice, right?"

Zhang Jing followed his grandson's line vision and nodded. "The interior isn't that bad. I do like the small changes you made."

Zhang Yu Han chuckled at his grandfather's answer. It was apparent that the older man liked what he saw, but he refused to give him honest feedback.

"I have an appointment with the interior designer next week," Zhang Yu Han said. "Although we had agreed on the interior for the lobby, we still have not reached an agreement for the design of the luxury rooms."

Zhang Jing waved his hand. "It's fine. I have my trust in you. Just don't forget to consult with Master Xi to look at the feng shui before you decide on anything."

"Of course," Zhang Yu Han nodded. He bit his lips before he decided to say something in his mind. "Grandfather, about that project that I talked to you before…"

Zhang Jing lifted his hand to stop his grandson before he finished what he wanted to say. "You're confident that you can do it?"

"I am confident," Zhang Yu Han answered. His eyes lightened up.

Zhang Jing heaved a sigh before he spoke, "Wait for a while longer. Once this hotel is launched, and everything has stabilized, you should call your sister, Yu Ying back and have her manage the hotel. Only then you should concentrate on the new resort project."

"Thank you, grandfather," Zhang Yu Han bowed. Then, he held Zhang Jing's arm and helped him out of the building. When his grandfather's assistant approached them, Zhang Yu Han dismissed him. "I'm going to for dinner with Chairman Zhang. Don't worry Assistant Huo. I will send him back home."

Assistant Huo turned to Chairman Zhang. Once the old man nodded with his approval, he retreated.

Zhang Yu Han led his grandfather into his car. He drove into the city, and five minutes later, his car stopped by a Hainan cuisine restaurant. After he handed his car key to the valet, Zhang Yu Han helped his father out. One of the waiters greeted them and ushered them towards a private room.

As they passed the dining room, Zhang Yu Han paused when he saw a familiar figure stood before him. The girl's eyes widened with surprise when she saw him. Her lips slowly curved into a polite smile. "Miss Li," Zhang Yu Han concealed his shock and excitement on seeing the girl again. His gaze shifted briefly to the girl beside Li Qin Yao. "You're here to have dinner?"

Li Qin Yao nodded. She found it strange to see the man in the restaurant. Wasn't he attending Mister Wei birthday party just now?

Zhang Yu Han felt a tug on his coat and instantly turned at his grandfather. He could tell from his grandfather's expression that the old man was waiting for him to introduce his grandfather to the two girls.

Afraid that the old man might start to say something, Zhang Yu Han tilted his lips into a faint smile. "Then, enjoy your meal." He gave a light tug on Zhang Jing's arms and followed the waiter into their private room.
