At 6:30 in the morning, when the alarm clock went off, Zhan Bingxue gently opened her eyes and stared blankly at the snowy-white ceiling above her.
When her gaze shifted to the huge floor-to-ceiling window opposite her, she paused for a long while, confirming that she was no longer in that 90-square-ter comrcial house but in a luxury villa on Green Lane worth seven hundred million!
Since taking over Bafang International Hotel and moving into this villa, more than a week had passed, but even now, Zhan Bingxue still felt an unreal sensation, as if her feet weren't touching the ground.
The luxury and prestige around her felt like a beautiful dream, and Zhan Bingxue was truly afraid that one day she would wake up to find the dream shattered!
Getting up from the soft, comfortable bed, she put on a fitting tracksuit, casually washed her face, and spent ten minutes getting herself ready before Zhan Bingxue walked down the stairs, where two maids had already started preparing her breakfast.
As usual, she left the villa precisely at 6:50, and Zhan Bingxue, dressed in casual sportswear, began her morning jog.
The habit of jogging had been maintained by Zhan Bingxue for over a dozen years, truly starting since middle school, and over the years, her figure had always been well-proportioned.
However, unlike the noisy environnts near her old neighborhood, Zhan Bingxue was now jogging around the scenic surroundings of her villa!
The Green Lane villa complex had a total of eighteen villas. Unlike the Imperial Mansions, the size of the villas here was basically the sa, with the one Zhan Bingxue lived in covering seven thousand three hundred square ters, and the nearby ones were also around seven thousand each, without the large disparities found in Imperial Mansions.
Naturally, the landscaping here was no less impressive than that of Imperial Mansions, and because it wasn't located in such a central area and had more land, the surroundings were even better, with colorful flowers and lush greenery!
There was also a sizeable man-made lake within the community, its clear green waters ho to many goldfish!
After a ten-minute jog along the flower-lined path to the artificial lake, she saw a graceful figure sitting in a pavilion by the lake, performing stretching exercises.
A flash of excitent couldn't help but pass through her heart!
That person was Sun Qingruoxi, the pop music queen who had won the Grammy Award with her wisdom and strength, a superstar!
Although she had passed the age of chasing stars, if it had been two weeks earlier and she had seen her, Zhan Bingxue would have definitely asked for an autograph and might have been too excited to speak. After all, during her school days, Zhan Bingxue truly adored her for a while.
But now, after this period of spiritual cleansing and the boundless confidence brought by power, Zhan Bingxue, whose inner strength had grown so much, could look at her on an equal level, without the excitent and adulation of before!
As she passed by the pavilion, the stunning woman who had been doing side stretches suddenly smiled and greeted her!
"Miss Zhan, good morning!"
Slowing down a bit, Zhan Bingxue nodded and smiled back:
"Good morning! Are you also out for a morning exercise, Miss Ruoxi?"
"Yes!"
Gently responding with a brief acknowledgnt, the woman hailed as Hua Country's once-in-three-thousand-years stunning goddess suddenly quickened her pace and casually followed by the side!
Zhan Bingxue resided in building twelve, while Sun Qing in the neighboring building thirteen. When they t during a morning run a few days ago, Zhan Bingxue had greeted her, but they were rely nodding acquaintances, hardly having any real relationship.
Zhan Bingxue was running along a path lined with blooming flowers. The pathway wasn't broad—only slightly over a ter wide—so if they ran side by side, they would be very close, practically shoulder to shoulder.
At a height of one hundred seventy-five centiters, Zhan Bingxue noticed that the other's height ca up to around her eyebrows, which should put her real height at about one hundred seventy-two centiters, consistent with the data released!
"Before, my favorite song was Miss Sun Qing's 'Rainy Night'. I rember in college, it was even my ringtone on my phone!"
"Really? That's quite an honor for . By the way, are those two in black suits behind you Miss Zhan's bodyguards? They seem quite stern!"
As the woman with the stunning beauty spoke with a smiling voice, Zhan Bingxue replied with a helpless wry smile:
"Yeah! I'm out of options, I did tell them there's no need to follow during my morning runs, but they don't listen. They say they were tasked to stay within sight twenty-four hours a day—truly speechless!"
Hearing this, the woman with the slight smirk charmingly inquired:
"That's quite good, it ans soone really cares about you. By the way, I still don't know what Miss Zhan does? If I ever need assistance, maybe I'll have to trouble Miss Zhan!"
Pride flashing in her eyes but with a calm deanor, Zhan Bingxue replied breathlessly as she kept running:
"I recently just took over the Bafang International Hotel. Since I had absolutely no experience with hotel managent previously, many matters were in complete disarray. However, if Miss Sun Qing ever needs accommodation, just give a call, and arranging a few presidential suites for you would be a piece of cake!"
The world-class beauty broke into a smile at the response and joked:
"Bafang International? Is it the one on Honghe Road? I've stayed there once before. The view was nice; standing on the balcony, you can enjoy the scenery of The Bund. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, there's a Michelin restaurant there as well. Maybe soday I really will trouble Miss Zhan!"
Zhan Bingxue smiled and nodded. She could feel that this top-tier celebrity by her side was treating her without the slightest airs, and even showed a hint of a desire to befriend her.
She naturally knew why. To live here, one's worth wouldn't be below several billion, and with her own hands controlling a conglorate valued nearly at a hundred billion, her wealth was imasurable. Being on good terms with anyone here could co in handy soday.
As the two chatted and laughed along the way, Sun Qing was intentionally seeking friendship, while Zhan Bingxue was naturally friendly as a fan. Consequently, their relationship had grown much closer by the end of their run.
Having run a lap around the lakeshore and feeling it was about ti, they returned together. By the ti they reached the villa's door, it was seven o'clock. After briefly greeting each other, Zhan Bingxue was about to head back to her villa when a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly approached from the distance on the main road!
With a spark in her eyes, Zhan Bingxue stopped in her tracks, took deep breaths to calm her racing heart, then respectfully stood at the entrance of the villa gate.
Sun Qing, who had been headed to her own villa, passed by the Rolls-Royce. As she reached her villa's doorway and slowed her pace, turning to enter the gate, the goddess-like woman's eyes swept to the side.
Then she saw the very elegant, impressive-looking female CEO, with whom she had just been chatting and laughing, now respectfully opening the car door for a young man!
