Wenji Hotel, the venue for many high-level events such as economic summits and business forums in Beijing, is located in the core business district of the central and southern region of Beijing. All vehicles must have their identity verified before they can pass.

Fu Chi and Ji Ruzheng arrived almost at the same time, so naturally they walked through the hotel's revolving door and into the lobby together under the guidance of the waiter.

Seeing that Fu Chi's usual gentle eyebrows were still as tense and gloomy as last night, Ji Ruzheng raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Why, are you still drunk?"

Fu Chi glanced at him and said nothing more.

"You have to wake up even if you haven't woken up yet."

Ji Ruzheng handed the invitation letter to the registration staff at the professional reception desk, shook his head and sighed softly.

"That's what you said, but you came to me to drink to relieve your sorrow, and you refused to reveal a single word. Now I really suspect that you are trapped in love."

"But I really can't think of the kind of person that could make you, Fu Chi, fall in love with her. It can't be that girl from the Meng family. Last time, she pestered you all the way to Huiyun Mansion, but you didn't react at all."

Let him be trapped by love?

Fu Chi frowned, feeling that this description was really unfamiliar to him.

Not to mention it was because of Meng Shuyi.

But these strange emotions that left him deeply confused and puzzled were indeed caused by someone.

However, what Fu Chi did not expect was that at the moment when the figure flashed through his mind, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of something at the same time, causing his pupils to suddenly contract and he unconsciously slowed down his pace.

He met her again when he was totally unprepared.

Fu Chi's expression change was not obvious, but Ji Ruzheng was originally walking with him under the guidance of the receptionist, so he naturally noticed his abnormality quickly.

It is very rare to see someone like Fu Chi have such a reaction. A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Ruzheng's eyes.

However, after following the man's gaze, his eyes also froze for a moment.

They arrived neither too early nor too late, and the summit was about to start in half an hour, so there were actually quite a few people coming and going in the hotel lobby.

But they were just talking among themselves and didn't notice that the eyes of the people present were clearly focused on the same figure, intentionally or unintentionally.

An exceptionally beautiful and charming figure.

The girl had thick, smooth black hair piled high on the back of her head. She was standing sideways and talking to the man next to her. Her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the smile at the corner of her lips was extremely pleasing to the eye.

She was wearing the same simple white waist-cinching top and calf-length light blue pencil skirt as the other receptionists, yet she was somehow different.

She was so eye-catching, with impeccable facial features, the kind of beauty that directly assaulted the senses and was completely irresistible.

Yet her figure was slender and well-proportioned, and her straight calves, stepping on nude white high heels, looked as delicate and smooth as glowing white jade. Just standing there made her more mouth-watering than a ripe peach.

Ji Ruzheng thought of a word almost the moment he saw it.

The so-called pure and seductive is just this.

Unfortunately, the elevator door had already slowly opened, and the two of them withdrew their gazes almost at the same time, and then walked all the way to the special lounge in silence.

After the receptionist left, Ji Ruzheng sat down on the sofa, his thoughtful eyes fell on Fu Chi, and his tone was joking.

"Do you know that girl?"

Fu Chi raised his eyelids.

"do not know."

He really couldn't say that he knew her. Even though they had met twice, they had only exchanged a few words in total.

Thinking of this way, the strange emotions that have been lingering in my mind these days seem more like a one-man show.

Fu Chi’s eyes grew darker.

Seeing his reaction, Ji Ruzheng's lips curved up and he smiled, "Since you don't know her, then... you probably don't mind me finding a chance to get to know her."

Fu Chi straightened his lips instantly, and after a long while, he said, "Don't get close to her."

Ji Ruzheng was silent for a few moments before he sneered, "Okay, I was wondering why you were so abnormal. It's really because of a woman. I didn't expect that I would see the person involved so soon."

At this point, he paused, and without waiting for Fu Chi to answer, he continued, "But... why is she working as a receptionist here? She looks quite young, a college student?"

Fu Chi lowered his eyelashes and did not answer.

He knew nothing about her background.

All we know is that her name is Jiang Wan, she is a host, and she is involved with Shen Yan and Xie Heng.

This girl, who was almost a stranger, had troubled him so much after just two encounters.

How ridiculous.

*

In fact, Jiang Wan noticed Fu Chi and Ji Ruzheng's arrival the moment they entered the hotel.

Of course, he also noticed the gazes of the two people.

However, not long after she started receiving guests, she was entangled by another man.

Compared to the hotel lobby, the second-floor corridor, which is specially used for guests to rest, is much quieter, making the gazes of the men beside her more noticeable.

"Mr. Qiu, we're here at the lounge. You can take a break here before the summit officially begins."

As she spoke, she bent down slightly to open the door of the lounge and raised her hand to signal the man to come in.

Qiu Yihui narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

He had had many women, but this was the first time he was so attracted to one at first sight like he was today.

Even the voice is so gentle that it makes people's ears itch.

But the girl was alert and kept two steps away from him from beginning to end.

Unfortunately... he could still smell the faint but alluring rose scent on her.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yihui glanced at the name hanging on her chest and smiled gently.

"Ms. Jiang, after the summit, are you interested in having dinner with Qiu?"

Who would be willing to let such a rare and precious flower be used for a reception at such an occasion?

Anyone who is interested in her would be eager to take her for himself.

The only possibility is that she has no family background and no one to back her up.

Such people, whether men or women, are extremely easy to manipulate.

But after she finished speaking, the girl's expression did not change at all. She only said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu. I have something else to do after work, so I won't waste your time."

She lowered her head and looked humble like all the other receptionists, and her ink-black eyes seemed somewhat innocent.

"You take a rest first. I will be responsible for receiving other guests."

After saying this, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Qiu Yihui didn't feel unhappy. In his eyes, a beautiful girl would be boring if she didn't have any pride.

But he certainly didn't intend to let her go so easily, and he raised his hand to grab the girl's slender white wrist.

But unexpectedly, a young male voice was heard from not far away.

"Jiang Wan."

Qiu Yihui immediately stopped the movement that was about to lift his hand.

He didn't even look at who the person was. He just looked deeply at the girl in front of him and then closed the door.

He may have his own ideas, but he certainly won't disregard his status in front of other people.

It won’t be too late to take action after finding out the girl’s background.

If there really was someone protecting her, he would have just invited her to dinner and didn't do anything else.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jiang Wan just raised the corners of her eyes slightly and walked towards the man who had just called her, with a faint smile in her eyes.

"Shen Yan."

The man stood upright in the aisle, his eyebrows and eyelashes as black as ink, staring quietly at her and the direction behind her.

The girl came closer and closer. Shen Yan blinked unnaturally and responded in a low voice.

"Ah."

Although he received the invitation, he had no intention of appearing here.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan, who had never sent him a message last night, suddenly asked him whether he would come to attend the economic summit at Wenji Hotel.

Without any hesitation, he replied yes.

It had been several days since they last met. He saw her use her slender white fingertips to gently tuck the strands of hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ears, and then she looked up at him and smiled at him gently.

"I met you at the auction last time, and I wondered if you might come here as well. I just asked casually, but I didn't expect you to actually come."

Her smile spread to her eyebrows, and her eyes were as soft and clear as rippling water, making people reluctant to look away.

Shen Yan didn't say that he came here just to see her. After hesitating for a few seconds, he just said, "You can ask me next time. Maybe I'll be there."

It sounded like a joke, but the man's eyes were serious.

Jiang Wan chuckled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll remember to ask you next time to see if we are really so destined to be together."

"Okay, I won't say any more to you now. I have to continue working. See you later during the intermission if there's a chance."

After saying goodbye to Shen Yan temporarily, Jiang Wan entered the elevator again.

It was not until the elevator door slowly closed that her soft expression gradually faded.

She also didn't expect to meet Qiu Yihui here.

This man had once had thoughts about her in his previous life, but was accidentally hit on the head and bleeding by her.

Qiu Yihui is the vice president of Hongsen.

Hongsen is one of the most famous companies in Beijing's financial sector. Qiu Yihui is only in his early thirties but has been able to reach the position of vice president. Naturally, he has a certain background, so to some extent, he does have the capital to be arrogant.

In his previous life, Qiu Yihui targeted her while she was working as a receptionist at a business forum event, and said almost the same things as before.

She naturally refused directly, but she didn't expect that after the meeting, she was still led to another room where Qiu Yihui was on the pretext of work by people in the hotel.

At that time, the room was not on the second floor of the hotel, but in the reception room next to the forum conference hall, otherwise she would not have been completely unprepared.

At first, Qiu Yihui of course tried to persuade her with kind words, but after being rejected again and again by her, he finally became angry and wanted to take direct action.

In the chaos, Jiang Wan could only grab the ashtray on the coffee table and smash it on Qiu Yihui's head.

The man's head was broken and bleeding on the spot. He never expected that someone would dare to attack him. In shock and anger, he said that if she didn't know what was best for her, he would make sure that she and her family couldn't survive in Beijing.

It is obvious that this is not the first time the man has done such a thing, and that it was always settled in this way, so he is so unscrupulous.

Little did he know that this warning was of no use to Jiang Wan who was alone.

However, if she had not listened to Yin Xi's advice and developed the habit of carrying a recorder with her when doing reception work, she would probably have been completely unable to protect herself.

Perhaps realizing that she was really hard to control, and fearing that she would actually leak the recording to the Internet and cause trouble to the company, Qiu Yihui simply warned her a few times and did not pursue the issue any further.

And she soon paid off her debts and returned to Rong City.

This matter is considered to be reluctant.

It's funny, but all she could do at that time was to protect herself, and there was no possibility of fighting back at all.

As for today... Qiu Yihui came straight to her the moment he entered the hotel, just like in his previous life, and said bluntly that the summit had not officially started yet and they needed to rest for a while.

As a receptionist, she of course had to take people to the lounge.

It was at this moment that Jiang Wan truly realized what it meant for the plot to start early.

The so-called established plot means that it will happen sooner or later.

It's just that now she is no longer under control.

As I was thinking this, the elevator had already reached the first floor and the elevator door slowly opened.

Jiang Wan was about to walk out, but when he caught a glimpse of the scene at the reception desk not far away, he slowed down his pace unconsciously.

Seven or eight middle-aged men in suits and ties, all familiar faces in the business newspapers, are naturally bigwigs and business leaders from all walks of life.

But at this moment, these people are gathering around the same person like stars surrounding the moon.

A man who made Jiang Wan feel that the word "handsome" was concrete for the first time.

He was extremely tall and handsome, standing out from the crowd with a slender and upright look. His cold black shirt and trousers fit him so well that there were almost no wrinkles, and the silver watch on his left wrist was buckled on his wrist bone.

Jiang Wan even caught a glimpse of the old scar on the back of his broad hand when he shook hands with someone else, revealing a sharp and wild beauty.

But the aura around him was restrained and low-key, even upright, and there was hardly any trace of viciousness in him.

Perhaps sensing a gaze that was different from a scrutiny, the man turned his head to look over. As his gazes collided in mid-air, Jiang Wan vaguely heard someone calling him by his name...

Mr. Shao.

Jiang Wan realized the man's identity almost instantly.

Chairman of Shaw Group, Shao Ting.

It seems that even with a powerful internet like the Internet, there are few photos of these people who truly stand at the top of the circle of power that are clear enough to be identified at a glance.

So is Xie Shiqian, and so is Shao Ting.

Jiang Wan could even hear that the young girl who was also working as a receptionist next to him was breathing faster, and the tips of her ears were red.

But the man just glanced at her and quickly looked away.

Obviously, someone like Shao Ting doesn't need them to receive him.

The group quickly passed them and headed for the exclusive elevator.

The arrival of such important figures naturally means that the summit is about to begin.

After spending more than ten minutes verifying the information of all the participants, Jiang Wan and other reception staff took the elevator to the third floor where the summit was held.

The conference hall, which could accommodate a thousand people, was already full. After a round of enthusiastic applause, the summit soon kicked off with the opening speech from the organizer.

Since it was an economic summit, speakers in the first half were of course mostly well-known economists and financial experts in the industry, most of whom made some estimated analyses around the future commercial and economic planning of the area south of Beijing.

Conference reception staff like Jiang Wan mostly wait at the entrance to the venue or sit in the last row.

Jiang Wan found a corner and listened to the speech attentively.

After just a few minutes of listening, she knew she had made the right choice.

Such a gathering of financial experts and business leaders is extremely rare even for students of the Finance Department of Peking University. Fortunately, she can come in as a receptionist, otherwise she would have no chance to come into contact with such an occasion.

After deducting the platform's share from the live broadcast, she has accumulated a lot of savings.

These savings were certainly very good for her in the past, but compared with these entrepreneurs in front of her, they are still not worth mentioning.

Even if the Meng family wanted to get a piece of the pie, they had to work hard, let alone her.

If you want to truly enter this circle, you have to find the most direct and appropriate breakthrough.
