Top beauties: Beijing bigwigs gathered at Shura Field

As the night deepens, it is rare for Rong City to welcome such heavy spring rain.

Huge raindrops hit Jiang Wan's shaky transparent umbrella with a crackling sound, and the fragile ribs seemed like they would break at any time.

By the time Jiang Guan barely reached the entrance of the hotel, the hem of her skirt had already been soaked to her slender white ankles. She looked as weak as a twig to be strangled, and easily attracted several covetous glances.

But Jiang Wan seemed not to notice the astonished and infatuated looks of the passers-by on the way to the hotel. After handing the umbrella to the hotel doorman whose ears were red, he went straight to the hotel's staff office area.

Zheng Qingqing, who arrived at the hotel first, was a little surprised to see that Jiang Wan, who almost never made any mistakes, would be late one day.

But when she saw that the woman's always very delicate and pretty face now looked a little pale and confused, all the surprise turned into worry.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly as if he had just realized something.

"I'm fine. It was raining heavily and I was in a hurry on the way here. I might have caught a cold. I'll be fine after a while."

After saying this, without waiting for Zheng Qingqing to ask further questions, Jiang Wan curled her lips soothingly, picked up her bag and turned to go to the locker room.

"I'm going to change clothes first."

Seeing this, Zheng Qingqing could only shake her head helplessly, stopped asking questions, and stood up to make a cup of hot tea for Jiang Wan.

But when he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the woman's back, which looked even more slender and beautiful after being half wet by the rain, Zheng Qingqing's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but fall into a trance.

Counting the time, she has been working at Rongzhuang Hotel for almost two years, and she and Jiang Wan were employees of the same batch, which of course means that she has known Jiang Wan for almost two years.

In fact, until this moment, Zheng Qingqing still remembers the uncontrollable feeling of wonder and envy from the bottom of her heart when she first met Jiang Wan.

This feeling is so clear that she still can't forget it to this day...

It was her first day at work, and because of her good appearance, she was assigned to be the etiquette lady in charge of reception in the private tea room on the top floor of the hotel, so she needed to change into uniform with other employees.

Just as she was sighing that Rongzhuang Hotel was indeed the best hotel in Rongcheng, and even the cheongsam worn by the etiquette lady was so well made, she turned around and saw Jiang Wan who had just changed her clothes amid the sudden breathless silence of the people around her.

Jiang Wan was actually a bit more immature at that time than she is now, but... she was attractive in another way.

Although she had the same hairdo and wore the same Suzhou embroidered cheongsam as the others around her, Jiang Wan's figure was strangely different. Her extremely slender and soft shoulders, and her full and perky buttocks, all exuded a sense of pure sensuality. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a natural beauty.

The small piece of slender legs exposed under the cheongsam skirt are well-proportioned and so white that they are dazzling to the eyes.

But she also had a face so beautiful that it was eye-catching even without the slightest makeup. Her eyes seemed to be naturally affectionate, but their look was so pure and innocent that even Zheng Qingqing, a woman, felt dazed when she looked up at me.

When she came to her senses, she realized that her mind was...full of vivid images.

And it was after that one glance that she became unable to extricate herself from Jiang Wan's beauty. She even almost couldn't help wanting to get close to Jiang Wan, but she didn't dare to disturb him too much.

It was because although Jiang Wan had a naturally extremely attractive face, her personality was inexplicably unpredictable. Sometimes she even seemed to keep people at a distance, creating an invisible barrier between her and everything around her.

Jiang Wan was wandering freely and intoxicated in that barrier, and he could make people around him unable to stop without doing anything.

Fortunately, after two years, although her relationship with Jiang Wan was not extremely close, compared with other people, she already knew Jiang Wan about 70% well.

However, the more Zheng Qingqing learned, the more she couldn't understand why someone like Jiang Wan would be willing to stay in a small city like Rong City and be an unknown hotel waiter.

It wasn't just because of his appearance, but Zheng Qingqing had accidentally seen Jiang Wan's resume two years ago, and the words "Department of Finance, Kyoto University" were clearly so eye-catching...

That is Kyoto University, the top university that many people dream of. It almost has the best people in all walks of life, not to mention the Department of Finance.

Everyone knows that the Department of Finance is the most unattainable major at Kyoto University. It is said that if you can pass the exam, it means you have already stepped half a foot into the threshold of Kyoto's financial circle.

But what kind of place is Rong City?

Rong City is so small that even in all these years, only a handful of people can be admitted to Kyoto University. It is almost a world apart from the rumored glamorous Kyoto City.

For Zheng Qingqing, being able to work in Rongzhuang Hotel, the best hotel in Rong City, was already a respectable job. However, she knew very well that this job was absolutely incompatible with a student of the Finance Department of Kyoto University.

So Zheng Qingqing didn't know where this intuition came from, she always felt that Jiang Wan would have to leave Rong City one day, it was just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qingqing suddenly remembered the news that the manager mentioned last night.

Her heart moved, and she turned around and handed the hot tea to Jiang Wan, who had already changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room, and said, "Wan Wan, didn't the manager suddenly say last night that the hotel will be acquired by Hengdong Group soon? By then, I guess our Rongzhuang's management will also be replaced. Will you...stay here?"

In fact, Zheng Qingqing seldom paid attention to news in the financial world, but after all, she worked in a hotel, so she was not unfamiliar with Hengdong Group, the largest hotel investor in Beijing.

Therefore, she knew very well that since the manager had already revealed the news, the matter was probably already going through the internal process.

Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't expect Zheng Qingqing to suddenly have such a question. After all, they were just ordinary employees. Even if the hotel was acquired, it would not have much impact on them.

But who could have imagined that this so-called new investor happened to be the Hengdong Group that she had been avoiding for the past two years.

How ridiculous, she thought she had completely gotten rid of those people.

It was not until she heard the news last night that she finally realized that the time she had tried so hard to escape in the past two years, and even the fate she had tried to change at the cost of destroying her own future, were all just illusions.

The memories that had haunted her like a nightmare for two years had never disappeared, and only reminded her all the time that she, Jiang Wan, would always be just a supporting role.

A supporting character who is never allowed to have independent consciousness.

Seeing Jiang Wan pursed her lips and remained silent, the emotion that overflowed from the corners of her eyes was inexplicably frightening. Zheng Qingqing instinctively felt pity for her but also a little nervous.

"Wanwan, did something happen to you? Why don't you go back and have a good rest tonight? I'll ask for leave from your manager for you?"
