Tengwang Pavilion International Hotel!
Ranked second among the ninety-six five-star hotels in the tropolitan city.
With a market value of 18.5 billion RMB, Tengwang Pavilion is only slightly inferior to Tianxiang Garden, the only seven-star hotel in the tropolis. Standing at ninety-eight stories, it is the sixth tallest building in the entire city and equally a landmark structure.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Zhan Bingxue, dressed in a subtle yet stunning fire-red gown and high heels, already stood at an impressive one ter seventy-five, tall and well-proportioned.
Around her fair, slender neck was a glittering diamond necklace, the latest luxury from the renowned brand Fendi issued this year. A thumb-sized sapphire surrounded by ninety-nine fine diamonds, with a staggering price tag of twenty-nine million nine hundred ninety thousand!
The delicate and smooth wrist of hers was adorned with a bracelet known as the “Erald Bracelet,” an elegant mix of diamonds and eralds that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, priced at a lofty four million U.S. dollars.
As the first spokesperson to follow Chu Mo, Zhan Bingxue held an extraordinary status. She lived in a villa in Greenery Avenue worth seven hundred million, drove a forty-seven million Aston Martin, and her garage housed six other luxury cars each worth over ten million. Not to ntion, she had up to nine dostic helpers and as many as twenty personal bodyguards.
It could be said that among Chu Mo’s nurous spokespeople, Zhan Bingxue’s position was unshakable, and everything she wore and used was of the absolute best.
Apart from the necklace around her neck and the bracelet worth over twenty million on her wrist, just a pair of earrings she wore was valued at fifty-three million.
The total value of everything she wore surely crossed over a hundred million!
And after half a year of honing, the current Bingxue was no longer the minor real estate agency manager with an annual salary of eight hundred thousand, but rather a chairman controlling assets worth tens of billions with thousands of employees under her command.
At this mont, Bingxue exuded a powerful aura of maturity, poise, and grace, making ordinary people feel inadequate in her presence.
In the Rose Garden Suite on the fifty-eighth floor of Tengwangge Hotel, under the guidance of a waiter, when Zhan Bingxue entered the room, the eyes of over twenty familiar old classmates imdiately turned towards the door.
And when they saw the youthful and radiant Zhan Bingxue, a chorus of exclamation erupted in the room, and then, a girl with wavy long hair imdiately rushed forward with delight!
“Oh my god, Xiao Xue, you finally showed up! If you didn’t co, we would have waited another year in vain. For four years, every ti we invited you, you declined due to work. What big deal have you been busy with exactly?”
With a gorgeous face, Zhan Bingxue’s smile flashed as she looked at the group of familiar old classmates before her. Although she felt it was a waste of ti before arriving, seeing these old friends from the past ward her heart!
“I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting!”
Zhan Bingxue smiled and greeted everyone before being pulled to a seat by the girl beside her. The conversation among the old classmates imdiately turned to her, and a chubby boy said with emotion:
“Xiao Xue still looks the sa as before, hardly any changes, still so beautiful!”
“Her looks may not have changed much, but her presence certainly matured quite a bit. I rember back in school Bingxue used to smile a lot, but now she seems more reserved and serious!”
A group of boys and girls kept discussing enthusiastically when a handso young man sitting at the main seat spoke softly with a gentle expression:
“Xiao Xue, you probably haven’t had dinner yet. We thought you weren’t coming, so we went ahead with our al. Please feel free to order anything you like, today I’m footing the bill.”
The youth seated at the main position exuded confidence and ease, dressed head-to-toe in luxurious clothing, tall, with a handso face and a self-assured smile.
As his words fell, the girl with wavy hair beside him imdiately said with a laugh:
“Su Can is as generous as ever. In my opinion, among us old classmates, it’s Su Can who has really made sothing of himself. Without the young master Su booking the venue, how would we dare to co to a five-star hotel like Tengwangge for a al? This dinner would probably cost a six-figure sum, equaling my savings for a year!”
The proud expression on the face of the young man nad Su Can, who had been complinted by his classmates for most of the evening, betrayed his inner thoughts. Although the cost of the al, amounting to over a hundred thousand, truly pained him, requiring him to eat instant noodles for the following two months, at least he was the center of attention.
Previously, it was Su Can who was responsible for contacting Bingxue. He handsoly clapped his hands, prompting an attractive waiter to step forward proactively to take the nu from him. With confident charm, Su Can warmly suggested:
“Xiao Xue, the hotel’s signature dish, the stead Osmanthus fish, is quite good. I recomnd you try it. Additionally, the beef stew is also very tasty. You can also have a light vegetable salad and a seasonal fruit plate. Oh, and do you drink wine? How about we open a bottle of red wine?”
Su Can’s face carried a gentle smile as he appeared to ask for her preference, yet without giving Bingxue a chance to decide for herself, he smoothly ordered several dishes. After Bingxue shook her head indicating she didn’t want the red wine and handed the nu back to the waiter, conversation ensued warmly.
Bingxue observed the man across from her, dressed in modest luxury, and with her keen eye, instantly assessed that his entire outfit was worth no more than one hundred thousand RMB.
This old classmate must have so small wealth, but was certainly not a scion of a truly rich family.
“`
Of course, she didn’t co here to show off or to compete in vanity. If she wanted to, just casually revealing her Chanel crystal sandals on her feet would have been enough to outshine everyone present.
“Xiao Xue, it’s been four or five years since graduation, how about it, got soone special in your life?”
The girl with wavy long hair by her side was nad Wang Qing; she shared a dormitory with Zhan Bingxue in college. Their relationship wasn’t particularly close, but they didn’t have any conflicts either.
At the mont the girl started gossiping, the already buzzing hall quieted down a bit, and everyone’s gaze landed on the stunningly beautiful Zhan Bingxue.
Zhan Bingxue, with her 95-point beauty score, was known as one of the two campus beauties along with Yang Xuan back in school, naturally becoming the goddess in many boys’ hearts. Of the dozen or so n in the hall, there were hardly a few who didn’t fancy her.
Amidst the secret glances of the group of n, the stunningly beautiful Zhan Bingxue gently shook her head and said with a smile,
“These things are up to fate; they can’t be forced.”
No sooner had she spoken than the door of the private room was suddenly opened, and a line of waiters carrying plates brought in one beautifully prepared dish after another to the table.
In just a mont, when dozens of exquisite dishes were arranged on the table, two gorgeous cheongsam-clad waitresses carefully held two bottles of wine, saying respectfully,
“This is ’82 Lafite, certified by Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel, the quality is absolutely guaranteed!”
As the two bottles of wine were placed on the table, the twenty or so old classmates all turned their eyes to Su Can, whose face had beco stiff.
The full table of dishes was several tis more refined than what they had eaten before, and the price was likely just as steep. Not to ntion anything else, even without much knowledge, they knew that those two bottles of ’82 Lafite wouldn’t co cheap—probably costing several hundred thousand RMB at least!
At this point, the chubby boy who had spoken earlier asked in bewildernt,
“Say, Su Can, did you order all these dishes because you were worried that our goddess Bingxue would feel lonely eating alone, so you decided to keep her company with this feast? That’s quite extravagant of you!”
All the classmates turned their gazes to the handso Su Can, but now the young man who had appeared full of confidence was blushing.
This table of food, along with the two bottles of wine, might cost several hundred thousand, and he only had a total of one hundred thirty thousand RMB in his bank cards. Even if he wanted to put on airs, he was likely to be unable to afford it afterward.
With a slight clench of his teeth, the handso young man with a pale face suddenly said,
“Um… didn’t I only order four dishes earlier? Is there so mistake?”
The cheongsam-clad waitress beside him bowed respectfully and said in a sweet voice,
“There is no mistake; this was personally arranged by our chairman for Miss Zhan.”
“Miss Zhan?”
The young man nad He Can softly repeated the na, and after a mont, as if suddenly rembering sothing, his eyes widened in shock, and then he stared straight at Zhan Bingxue!
Upon Zhan Bingxue’s beautiful face, which gradually lost its smile, she turned her gaze to the waitress behind her. A powerful and confident aura began to envelop her. She took out a Centurion Black Gold Card from her purse, handed it to the waitress, and said nonchalantly,
“I appreciate the kind gesture from Su President, but as the saying goes, ‘Unearned wealth shall not be enjoyed.’ I’ll pay for this al myself, go ahead and charge it!”
As Zhan Bingxue finished speaking, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out at the entrance, and then a man in his fifties, of average build, slowly walked into the hall.
At this mont, the dozens of waiters delivering dishes in the hall bowed at the sa ti, saying respectfully,
“Chairman, good day!”
“For Chairman Zhan to grace us with her presence, Tengwang Pavilion shines brighter!”
When Su Zhengxiong, chairman of Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel and head of the Su family in Modu, appeared in the hall with a warm smile, Zhan Bingxue gently got up.
She no longer carried the warm familiarity she had in front of old classmates; instead, her entire being radiated a powerful confidence and an aura of coldness that made others apprehensive!
“President Su, what a pleasure to et you!”
