Yayue Hotel was the largest hotel in downtown H City. It was also the hotel where Jiang Ming’s ex-girlfriend Lan Xin got engaged.
The day before yesterday, although he hung up on Liao Wendong, Liao Wendong still sent him the address of Lan Xin’s engagement ceremony. After he went offline from the game, he merely took a brief look at it and then ignored it. Unexpectedly, he was brought here by Shao Long.
It took an hour or two to get here from the slum, but he had spent nearly twelve hours of game time in the game. In other words, Shao Long and the others had waited for him for one or two whole hours while he was playing.
‘I didn’t expect him to be so patient, but what does he want from me?’
Jiang Ming stared at the back of Shao Long who was walking ahead, and he couldn’t help but think.
Shao Long’s clothes were all of top luxury brands, and he wore a thumb-thick golden chain around his neck. On top of this, Jiang Ming and Shao Long’s other two underlings were following behind him. With just a single look, anyone could tell that Shao Long was a big character. The hotel’s beautiful lobby manager was smiling and greeting other guests. When she saw them come in, she was taken aback at first, but then her pretty face was wreathed in smiles. Twisting her hips, she walked towards them in a seductive way.
“Brother Long, why so late? Do you know how much I missed you?” As soon as the beautiful lobby manager walked up, her lush frame nestled against Shao Long’s. At the same time, she escorted Shao Long to the hotel lift lobby. “The private room that Brother Long booked has already been prepared, please.”
As the group of people walked towards the lift, Jiang Ming who was following closely behind Shao Long glanced back and forth in the hotel, covering thousands of square meters of area. He wanted to look at the place where his past beloved woman got engaged. At the same time, he was looking forward to seeing the figure he hadn’t seen for the past three years.
“Brother Jiang Ming, please!”
After scanning the hotel for a long time, Jiang Ming still couldn’t find that familiar figure he was looking for. At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears which brought him back to his senses.
He saw that Shao Long was smiling at him with his hand stretched out in a ‘please’ gesture to let him enter the lift first. Seeing this, the beautiful lobby manager beside him looked at Jiang Ming with surprise.
Liu Piaopiao was the lobby manager of the Yayue Hotel, with a salary of more than 30,000 yuan per month. As someone who could achieve such a high-paying job, she was a very discerning person. She had a glib tongue and knew how to please all kinds of people. And occasionally, she was willing to sell her charms. That was why she was able to remain in this highly competitive and well-paid position as a lobby manager for four or five years, and even had chances of becoming the deputy manager of this luxury hotel.
But today, she had made the wrong judgement. At first, when she saw Jiang Ming behind Shao Long, she didn’t feel anything amiss, except that this man was dressed poorly though he looked handsome. It blew her mind that Shao Long, the leader of the White Dragon Gang, was behaving so respectfully to Jiang Ming. In surprise, she began to guess in her mind Jiang Ming’s identity.
After the group of people entered the lift, they soon arrived at the second floor, the private dining room area. Liu Piaopiao smiled and escorted them to one of the private rooms. On the way, she kept getting near Jiang Ming and trying to probe him.
If Jiang Ming was interested in her, she wouldn’t mind sacrificing her beauty to get a firm hold on Jiang Ming who was a potential big customer. But to her disappointment, Jiang Ming was not interested in her at all.
But what made her a little puzzled was that when she approached Jiang Ming, she suddenly found that he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before.
Walking into the private room, Jiang Ming’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and at the same time, he lamented, ‘As expected of the largest hotel in City H, this private room is more than ten times the size of my room.’
