Author's Notes - For the record, I'm not the same anon who asked OP about the AU thing. I'm an entirely different person.
Mr. Wang = China
--------
“Mr. Wang?” Quyễn raised an eyebrow.
His name wasn’t foreign to her. He’d booked several suites before and was pretty well known by most of the hotel. It also helped that Mr. Wang was a prominent businessman, whose wealth subsidised many local projects around the city. A member of China’s elite class, he was a frequent talk in the social circles of Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Rumour has it that Mr. Wang even had connections to Beijing’s Communist Party.
What made her raise an eyebrow was the call. Mr. Wang wasn’t the type to make personal calls like this. Usually, it would be a young, preppy voice calling in to make a reservation, or a stale, monotone voice that made the Vietnamese question whether she was talking to the auto-messenger or an actual human being. A personal call like that must mean this was something important. One could only guess.
“—on the seventieth floor.” she was so engrossed in thought, she forgot that Mr. Zheng was talking to her.
“Excuse me?” Quyễn asked dumbly.
“I said, that was Mr. Wang calling to inform us that his guest will be arriving shortly. We should have a spare suite available on the seventieth floor.” Mr. Zheng repeated.
“I see.” she noticed how he paused for a second before saying, ‘guest’.
“I’ll go inform housekeeping right away.”
The Vietnamese stood up from her chair and began to walk toward the door. She stopped at the doorway leading back into the hotel’s administration offices, and turned back to Mr. Zheng. The man simply smiled in return, flicking his wrist in a silent ‘goodbye’. Her nostrils flared to her surprise at the gesture, and Quyễn quickly left the room without another word. Her glossy black heels clicked loudly against the tiled floor.
That smile was a little off in her opinion.

Author's Notes - Honestly, I'm sorry for the absence, been busy with school and moving into a new apartment. Anyway I'm surprised by the positive feedback. Comments about the plot so far?
