Chapter 293: Han Rui’s Ultimate Social Death Moment!
In terms of high-end luxury hotels.
The Ritz-Carlton is not just a name.
It represents a meticulously crafted, unparalleled luxury lifestyle.
Upon entering any Ritz-Carlton hotel, the first thing you experience is its incomparable presence and elegance.
Honestly, Jiang Tao is also visiting such a high-class hotel for the first time.
Full of a sense of luxury with marble, shining crystals, rare woods, and art paintings on the walls…
Entering the Ritz-Carlton is like entering a luxurious palace.
The Century Hotel, where he often booked rooms with Yuan Mengqi for over 800 yuan a night, is not in the same league as this place.
Of course, it’s not that Jiang Tao is unwilling to spend money, he mainly values convenience.
The Century Hotel is near Yuan Mengqi’s residential area, so after exercising, they would just walk home.
“Good morning, sir. Welcome to The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Chaoyang. How may I help you?”
The client manager, wearing a light gray women’s suit skirt and with delicate makeup, smiled and greeted Jiang Tao and Jia Guilin as they approached.
“Hello, beautiful. Could you help me arrange a meeting with your manager? I want to discuss some business with him.”
Jiang Tao smiled and stated the purpose of his visit.
“May I have your surname, sir? Do you have an appointment with our manager?”
The client manager, facing Jiang Tao, an unexpected guest, maintained her smile and appeared very patient.
Jiang Tao replied, “My surname is Jiang. I don’t have an appointment. I was just passing by and decided to stop by.”
“Oh, I see… May I ask what kind of business you wish to discuss with our manager? Would you be willing to share?”
The client manager showed more patience towards Jiang Tao than usual.
Appearance is justice!
“Well… I sell pillows. A very unique and magical pillow.”
“You can tell your manager that my pillow can greatly enhance the guest’s experience.”
“It can quickly help your Ritz-Carlton gain a better reputation.”
Jiang Tao smiled, his face showing confidence and composure:
“Just relay my words exactly. I believe your manager will be very interested.”
Jiang Tao deliberately used the exaggerated adjectives “greatly” and “quickly” to attract the attention of the hotel management.
If it were just an ordinary pillow, they probably wouldn’t be interested, and might not even bother to meet with him.
“Uh, yes sir. You can wait in the lounge area over there for a moment, and I will call our manager.”
As she spoke, the client manager pointed to a lounge area with sofas and small tables diagonally opposite the service desk, indicating that Jiang Tao could rest there for a while.
“Okay, thank you for your trouble.”
Jiang Tao smiled and nodded to the client manager, then turned and walked towards the lounge area with Jia Guilin.
“Nana, this client is so handsome and stylish! Like a male model from TV!”
“He’s my type! I don’t see many guys this handsome in a year!”
“He’s a bit like a runaway dominant CEO from a short play. His smile just now was so charming! I can’t resist at all!”
After Jiang Tao and Jia Guilin walked away, the young women at the service desk whispered to each other.
Their eyes involuntarily drifted towards where Jiang Tao was.
The perfect physique combined with extremely high charm value enhances one’s appearance.
Jiang Tao’s attractiveness to women has now reached an incredible level.
Men like to look at beautiful women and can’t help but glance more when they see an attractive woman.
Similarly, women like to look at handsome men and have little resistance to them.
“You two are love-struck! Keep it down, don’t let him hear you.”
Su Xiuna playfully chided her two colleagues in a low voice, then took out her phone and dialed the manager’s number.
At the same time.
In the general manager’s office in the top floor office area of the Hua Mao Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Han Rui stood before the large floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant city skyline, lost in thought.
In recent days, she had been trying various methods to improve customer service quality and reputation.
From changing the furniture and home appliances in the guest rooms, adjusting the lighting, to replacing beds, bedding, and curtains.
Down to changing the entrance carpets, hair dryers, toiletries, and drinking cups.
However, the results were not very significant.
As a seasoned hotel operator with over a decade of experience in the hotel industry.
Han Rui knew that significantly improving customer ratings for their hotel in a short period was almost an impossible task.
Unless…
Unless they spared no expense and replaced all the items in the rooms with top luxury brands from around the world.
In that case, they could compete with Bulgari in terms of luxurious quality.
But the budget would surely be exceeded too much, and it wouldn’t be cost-effective.
Ring ring—
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Han Rui withdrew her gaze and turned towards the desk.
Seeing the caller ID displayed “Su Xiuna,” Han Rui swiped to answer the call.
“General Manager Han…”
The moment the call connected, Su Xiuna’s voice came from the other end.
Su Xiuna was quite straightforward and relayed Jiang Tao’s words exactly as he had instructed.
“Greatly enhance the guest experience and quickly gain a better reputation…”
As expected!
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words relayed by Su Xiuna, Han Rui’s interest was immediately piqued!
Because these two aspects were precisely what she was currently working on!
“Bring him to my office. I have some time now.”
Han Rui instructed Su Xiuna and then hung up the phone.
Downstairs.
After receiving Han Rui’s instructions, Su Xiuna put her phone back into her pocket and walked towards Jiang Tao in the lounge area with elegant steps.
“Good morning, sir. General Manager Han said to bring you up to her office. She has time to see you right now.”
Su Xiuna’s gaze towards Jiang Tao held not only respect but also admiration.
Just as her colleagues had said.
Even in a place like the Ritz-Carlton, where handsome and beautiful people come and go daily.
A client as handsome, with a perfect physique and noble aura as Jiang Tao was rarely seen.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“Old Jia, wait for me here. I’ll go up for a bit.”
“Okay, boss.”
Jiang Tao instructed Old Jia, then smiled and stood up, signaling Su Xiuna to lead the way.
“Mr. Jiang, please follow me.”
Su Xiuna gestured to Jiang Tao and then turned to lead the way.
Jiang Tao picked up the bag that Old Jia was carrying and followed Su Xiuna’s steps.
The two walked one after the other towards the internal elevator.
After entering the elevator, Su Xiuna pressed the button for the 16th floor.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and the elevator began to ascend smoothly, quickly reaching the target floor.
Ding~
The elevator doors opened.
“Mr. Jiang, please.”
Su Xiuna gestured to Jiang Tao and continued to lead the way.
After stepping out of the elevator, they once again trod upon the hotel’s luxurious carpet.
Turning left out of the elevator lobby, they entered a spacious corridor.
Dozens of crystal chandeliers, clearly very valuable, hung from the ceiling of the corridor.
The floor was covered with carpet that felt neither too hard nor too soft underfoot.
Various art paintings hung on the walls on both sides.
Walking in the corridor felt like attending an art exhibition.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel put a lot of effort into creating its atmosphere.
Such a richly artistic renovation could also provide sufficient emotional value to the clients.
For wealthy individuals who are not short on money, they are willing to pay for emotional value.
“Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment.”
Su Xiuna stopped Jiang Tao outside the general manager’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Hearing Han Rui’s voice from inside, Su Xiuna gently pushed open the door and entered.
Jiang Tao followed closely behind and entered Han Rui’s office.
“Huh…”
“Huh! It’s you!”
Before Su Xiuna could introduce Han Rui and Jiang Tao, both of them exclaimed in surprise upon seeing each other.
Han Rui was a friend of Du Ennan, second only to Xu Li in their relationship.
Jiang Tao had met her once before when he and Xu Li visited Du Ennan’s home.
And there was a slight misunderstanding.
At that time, Han Rui had not locked the bathroom door properly while she was using it.
Jiang Tao, unaware, had walked in.
When their eyes met, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward!
Although Han Rui knew Jiang Tao did not do it intentionally.
She would never forget the most socially embarrassing moment Jiang Tao had caused her in her life!
“Uh? General Manager Han, Mr. Jiang, do you two know each other?”
Su Xiuna looked between Jiang Tao and Han Rui, her expression also one of surprise.
“Xiao Su, you can go now. You’re not needed here.”
Han Rui did not answer Su Xiuna’s question and waved her away.
“Yes, General Manager Han.”
Su Xiuna realized she had been too talkative and asked a question she shouldn’t have.
She respectfully bid farewell and turned to walk towards the office door.
After Su Xiuna left, Han Rui also stood up from her seat and gracefully walked towards the reception area.
Han Rui is about 1.7 meters tall.
Although she is four or five centimeters shorter than Xu Li, she is still considered quite tall among women.
Her weight has also been consistently maintained around 55 kilograms, making her appear very slender.
Moreover, like Xu Li, she has a habit of exercising and practices yoga every evening.
Her posture is not just thin, but symmetrically toned and powerfully built.
The high-quality light gray professional women’s suit she wore also enhanced her demeanor.
“Mr. Jiang, please have a seat. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Han Rui tried her best not to recall that embarrassing, socially disastrous moment from that day.
But like the psychological principle of “don’t think of a pink elephant,”
the more you tell yourself not to think about something, the more it will repeatedly come to mind.
Jiang Tao was like a button that triggered Han Rui’s memory.
From the moment she saw him and recognized him.
Han Rui had already replayed her most embarrassing moment in her mind more than 10 times.
“It is a bit of a coincidence.”
Jiang Tao also smiled and said so, then walked to the reception area’s sofa and sat down generously.
He felt apologetic about what happened that day but knew it was best not to mention it.
Pretending it never happened was the best option.
When they first met at Du Ennan’s home, Du Ennan, their mutual friend, had only briefly introduced their names.
Their professions were not mentioned at the time.
Jiang Tao only learned today that Han Rui was a high-ranking executive at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Indeed, most friends of strong women are also strong women!
“You said your pillows can greatly improve sleep quality?”
As Han Rui spoke, her gaze fell upon the bulging shopping bag Jiang Tao had casually placed on the sofa beside him.
“Facts speak louder than words. I won’t elaborate on the specific effects of the pillow here.”
“Inside are two products from our company. General Manager Han can personally experience their effectiveness.”
Jiang Tao got straight to the point, saying this while handing the shopping bag containing two 【Insomnia Terminator】 pillows to Han Rui.
“You seem very confident.”
Han Rui looked up from the shopping bag at Jiang Tao, her eyes showing a hint of admiration.
She really admired this confident quality in Jiang Tao.
“Yes, that’s right, so confident.”
“Because I, my friends and family around me, and your friend Du Ennan are now all using our Pillow.”
“Speaking of which, didn’t Nannan recommend our Pillow to you?”
Jiang Tao smiled as he looked at Han Rui, believing that once she experienced the 【 Insomnia Terminator 】, she would absolutely become a loyal user.
“Nannan did mention it once…”
Han Rui suddenly remembered that Du Ennan had indeed mentioned it to her about a month ago.
But as soon as she heard it was a product Jiang Tao was representing, her interest vanished.
Although Jiang Tao hadn’t meant to do it that time, and she didn’t outwardly blame him, she actually found it hard to forgive him in her heart.
She certainly didn’t want to have any further contact with him, let alone cooperate with him.
However, she never expected Jiang Tao to find her today.
“Did Nannan introduce you?”
Han Rui looked at Jiang Tao and asked with some curiosity.
Jiang Tao: “Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?”
“So that’s how it is.”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Han Rui’s face showed a look of relief.
She didn’t know why she believed Jiang Tao.
She simply felt from the bottom of her heart that he was a trustworthy person who wouldn’t lie.
Besides, he had no reason to lie about something so trivial.
“Can I see this Pillow now?”
Han Rui looked at the Tote Bag, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “Of course, you can try it out during your nap this afternoon and experience its effect.”
“Okay, I will.”
As Han Rui spoke, she reached out and unzipped the Tote Bag, taking out a 【 Insomnia Terminator 】.
The 【 Insomnia Terminator 】 felt very fluffy.
It felt soft and springy in her hand, as if she had plucked a piece of cloud from the sky.
It had no purported scent to aid concentration or sleep, nor any unpleasant odor; it was clean and pure.
The moment she held it, even before experiencing it, Han Rui had already started to like this Pillow.
