Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 512
Christina paid and got out of the car. The driver enthusiastically helped her take down the suitcase from the boot of the car.
“Thank you,” Christina said.
The driver waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem. Before driving off, he wished Christina good luck.
This made Christina, who had come to Sapphire City for the first time, have a good impression of this city. She stood at the
entrance of the tall hotel with her black suitcase and fell into deep thought.
Christina had always been willing to stay in hotels when she traveled overseas. She had also followed Charlie’s instructions and
always taken safety first. Hence, there was no way she would treat herself badly.
However, why would such a big hotel still have rooms left? Why were the rooms of the surrounding low-rise buildings full? Was
the consumption level of the people in this city relatively low?
Christina had her doubts about this city. This time, she had not booked a hotel before she went out, and had only booked it
before she boarded the plane. In the end, all the better hotels were full, and there was not even a standard room.
Only the largest hotel in Sapphire City had spare rooms. The receptionist told Christina that she could have any room she
wanted. This was really strange and puzzling.
Christina stood at the door and thought for a while. She looked around and saw that there were people coming and going, but
she still could not find an answer to why the hotel still had rooms. Perhaps she would know when she went into the hotel and
asked the receptionist.
With this thought in mind, she wheeled her suitcase down the hall and took out her ID. “Give me a room with a big bed, please.”
The receptionist quickly booked a room for Christina and handed over the room card, signaling the security guard to help carry
the luggage. Just as the security guard was about to step forward to help, Christina politely refused. “No need, thank you. I can
do it myself.”
Christina did not take the room card and leave immediately. Instead, she continued to ask the receptionist politely, “Hello, this is
my first time in your city. Can I ask you a few questions?”
The receptionist said, “Miss, how can we help you?”

Christina thought to herself, “The receptionist’s attitude is quite good. Why are the other hotels full, but this hotel is empty? Isn’t it
well-run?”
She smiled at the receptionist and asked, “Is business usually not very good in this hotel? I’m sorry for asking so abruptly. You
can choose not to answer.”
The receptionist lightly, maintaining her professionalism. “Miss, our hotel business has always been very good,”
In that case, Christina did not continue asking. Otherwise, it would seem like she was asking about the enemy’s situation.
Logically speaking, the business of this kind of hotel should be good during the Christmas season. For example, Frank had
earned a lot of money from Grand Manor.
Christina took the room card and

to the 18th floor. After swiping the room card and pushing the door open, she found
It looked very comfortable to stay in, especially the big bed in the middle, which
She took off her sunglasses and looked at the time. It was already dinner time. It seemed like there was no way to inspect today.
However, the discussion with the driver just now could be considered an inspection.
Since she was already here, she should experience a foreign dinner. Christina did not unpack her luggage and followed the hotel
map manual given by the front desk to a restaurant.
In Sapphire Hotel’s presidential suite, a man in a sweater suit stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at
the endless stream of cars coming and going below. This was the form of life.
With his hands behind his back, he did not say a word. After a long while, the man said, “Remember to wear a mask when you
go out.”
Ethan stood respectfully at the side with his hands folded in front of his chest, and nodded in agreement despite not knowing
why. “Yes, Mr. Turner.”
Then, he continued saying, “Mr. Turner, before we came, Miss instructed you to eat on time. It’s time to eat now.”

Ethan did not ask if Joseph wanted to go down and eat, or if he wanted Ethan to buy takeaway and bring it back for him to eat.
This was up to Joseph to think about himself.
Joseph turned around, and the corners of his lips twitched. “You sure know how to listen to Ava. Wear a mask and go buy
takeaway. We won’t be returning to the manor tonight. We’ll stay here.”
“Alright, Mr. Turner. I’ll go now.”
After Ethan left, Joseph was left alone in the presidential suite. He continued to look at the scenery outside the windows and
looked down.
Half an hour ago, he had already informed Ava and the others that he had safely landed.
After dinner, Christina returned to her room and prepared to work overtime to search for information about the boss of this
company. She began to do a background check seriously. It would be great if she could find the boss’s preferences and hobbies.
If she was satisfied with the equipment, she could find an entry point.
However, Christina was more curious. Why did her mother not scold her to death after she escaped this time? This was strange.
Entering the website provided in the computer’s web browser, the brand was Xaynum from the past. However, the website
mainly contained introductions to the company’s history, information about investments, the number of employees, and the land
area. It lacked other details, including the fact that even the legal representative had an Arillion name: family.
Family?
This was either a married man or a married woman. By using the word “family” as an Arillion name, it seemed that regardless of
whether this person was a man or a woman, one could tell from this word that this person found family to be very important.
Christina stared at the word on the computer screen and pondered. Why did such a big company not introduce the founder at
all?
The next morning.
Christina woke up early. After washing up, she took out a white-colored double cashmere sweater, a long white dress sweater,
and a coffee-colored checkered scarf from her suitcase.

After putting on simple makeup, her long eyelashes fluttered like feathers. She wore large round earrings on both sides of her
earlobes and applied conditioner to her hair. Her originally frizzy curly hair instantly became smooth and soft.
After all that was done, she walked to the door and put on the Doc Martens she had brought over. She carried a limited edition
bag on her back. Inside the bag was a summary of the Yamin Group’s hospital.
Once she took a taxi and reached Xaynum’s company building, she found that it was a combination of a factory and a company.
In Athana, the company was basically separated from the factory. The civilians were in high-rise buildings and the factory was in
the suburbs, but this company was a combination of both.
Christina got out of the car and paid for the taxi fares. The thing she hated the most when she was overseas was taking a taxi.
People who were used to driving cars would feel extremely uncomfortable to have to take the subway and the taxi.
Christina stood at the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Is anyone there?”
This was the disadvantage of combining a factory and a company. One had to shout loudly at the guard. If it was a tall building,
one could just go to the front desk to make an appointment and register.
The guard did not open the door. Instead, he stood inside and asked, “May I know who you’re looking for?”
Christina smiled. “Hello. Can you let me in? I have something very important to discuss with your boss.”
The guard quickly waved his hand. “No, you can’t enter casually unless there’s a phone call from our boss. Besides, our boss
isn’t around during the Christmas season.”
In the end, Christina started to gain sympathy with the guard. She chatted with the guard for 30 minutes and even lied that her
dead grandfather was ill and needed the company’s equipment. The guard was stunned by what Christina said and praised her
for being a good child. “Just say that you’re my friend’s niece. Don’t say it wrongly. I’ve worked here all my life. The boss is a very
good person.”
The guard was worried and continued to instruct Christina.
In the presidential suite of Sapphire Hotel, a man was lying on the bed with a tablet in his hand. The collar on his chest was
open, and his tanned skin was faintly discernible. When he saw the exaggerated acting skills of the woman on the screen, his
lips curled into a faint smile. So this was how cooperation was done previously.

If she could not find any information, she would make friends with the guard. Her strategy was not bad.
The progress bar on the phone screen was pulled back by his slender fingers again. A woman’s voice overflowed from the tablet.
As he ate his breakfast slowly, his ears seemed to be listening to music. “Oh, you don’t know this, but I came from overseas. My
grandfather is already in his eighties and is seriously ill now. The hospital said that they want to use your company’s equipment
to treat my grandfather. The medical fees are so expensive. Our family... Our family’s conditions are not good to begin with. My
mother is especially good at giving birth and gave birth to the three of us. You know that it’s not easy to have three children now.
My father doesn’t have a proper job either. Can you help me understand the company’s situation? I’m afraid that the hospital will
lie to me.”
The guard thought that the hospital would not lie. After all, the boss worked with big hospitals. “Young lady, the hospital probably
won’t lie. You might be paranoid about this.”
Christina continued to pretend. “No, we’re from a small county and don’t have the money to go to a large county for treatment,
but our village chief used his connections to get a device from this company. The doctor said that it was quite good, but I...”
If the security guard did not let her in, Christina would feel that she was about to make up a whole new life. She could barely go
on making things up.
The guard said, “Hey, go ahead. Remember what I said, and don’t forget to say that you’re my niece.”
Hearing this, Christina heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the guard did not ask her what her grandfather’s illness was.
Otherwise, she would really be speechless.
Christina was extremely grateful. “Thank you.”
“You’re a good child. The children of poor families take care of themselves early. Our granddaughter is too doted on. She can get
whatever she wants.”
Christina, who had walked a little further away, secretly said to her dead grandfather, “Grandpa, we’ve worked together again. I
had no choice but to do it for the Yamin family’s career. You have to remember my efforts.”
When the man who was eating heard this, he almost spat out the food in his mouth. Ethan also listened expressionlessly.
Questions swirled in his mind as he handed a packet of tissues over to Joseph.
Joseph took the tissue and pushed the food in front of him away. He instructed, “Take it away. I’m not going out today. I’ll stay in
the hotel.”

Ethan began to organize the lunch box. “Yes, Mr. Turner.”
After tidying up, he left in time. After a while, Daniel, who was far away in Athana, called. Joseph wiped his hands and picked up
the phone. “Daniel.”
Daniel said, “Why did Xaynum call me and say that the director of the Yamin Group’s business department wants to see me? Her
name is Christina. Is she the girl who played with us last time?”
It seemed that the registration was done. As for whether it would be successful or not, it was another matter. Joseph just wanted
to see how Christina usually conquered customers.
Joseph replied unhurriedly, “Yes, it’s fine. I’ll take care of it.”
Daniel reminded him. “Treat the young lady well. It’s not easy to come to our place for business during the Christmas season.
Take care of her.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up the phone, the corners of Joseph’s lips curled up. He knew that this woman’s coldness was a protective mask.
