Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

Upon hearing this, the hotel manager looked at Ye Cheng with suspicion.

With his nostrils flared and his tone curt, he said, "This is a five-star hotel, not a street food stall. We don't just invite people we don't know!"

“I am an employee of Chuanggao Company. Our boss, General Manager Qin, is inside. He sent me here to deliver something. I can’t get in because I don’t have an invitation. Give me five minutes, and I will give it to General Manager Qin so we can start working immediately.”

Ye Cheng said slowly and deliberately.

The part-time fee of a few hundred yuan tempted her; she could earn some extra money while completing the company's tasks and make up for today's losses.

The manager sniffed: "Your excuse is more convincing than other paparazzi's. Get out of here and don't cause any more trouble!"

"Sister Ye!"

At this moment, Feng Haonan appeared in a hurry.

"Leave the things to me."

After making love with his girlfriend, he saw missed calls and messages and rushed out of his hotel room.

"Xiao Feng, I couldn't find you for a while, I almost thought you'd moved to Mars," Ye Cheng said with a smirk.

Feng Haonan awkwardly took the gift bag from Ye Cheng and explained, "I was a little busy just now... I didn't notice my phone."

As if afraid of being noticed, he seemed a little guilty. After speaking, he turned around, showed the invitation, and strode inside.

Busy? Everyone knows what kind of trivial things you're busy with.

Ye Cheng chuckled inwardly.

She had completed the task, but she still didn't want to give up the part-time job offer that was presented to her.

Ye Cheng readily showed her work ID: "Manager, aren't you in a hurry to get people? That was our boss's assistant. I was just here to run errands and deliver something, not some paparazzi."

The manager frowned, glanced at his watch, and snapped his fingers: "Come with me, and hurry up."

Ye Cheng raised the corners of her mouth and followed the manager into the employee passage.

"No unauthorized personnel are allowed in the banquet hall. Go to the staff registration desk to register and get your uniform. Also, today's banquet is for the wealthy and powerful, so you are not allowed to bring your cell phone, steal food from the hall, talk casually, or enter the VIP room!"

The manager strode ahead, leading the way, and spoke quite quickly.

Ye Cheng changed into a hotel waiter's uniform in the changing room and was about to send a message to Ji Lingfeng to let him know.

"Hey you, the part-timer, hurry up and we're waiting for you!"

The hotel manager hurried over to urge them on.

"Come with me to the lobby and get to work right away, and be quick!"

"coming!"

Ye Cheng hurriedly locked her phone bag in the cabinet and quickly followed after him.

Stepping into the banquet hall felt like entering another world.

The magnificent hall was filled with elegant melodies, where wealthy and famous people in splendid attire gathered, laughing and chatting, raising their glasses in conversation, while waiters carried silver trays and moved among the guests, respectfully serving them champagne.

In the huge banquet hall, what attracted Ye Cheng the most was the food area; those high-society activities had nothing to do with her.

The long dining table was covered with fine, expensive silk, and bright, exquisite silver cutlery was set with a variety of high-end delicacies, exuding an enticing aroma.

Ye Cheng swallowed hard, only then realizing she was hungry.

Next, she and the other waiters moved between the hall and the kitchen, helping to serve dishes and clean up dirty plates and empty glasses. After a while, there was a sudden commotion at the main entrance of the banquet hall.

All the guests looked toward the entrance, and the crowd slowly moved over, not knowing who had arrived. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

The two waitresses next to her had their eyes light up.

"My God, judging by this scene, it must be the president of the Ji Group!"

One of the round-faced girls let out an excited whisper.

President of the Ji Group?

Ye Cheng suddenly remembered that Hua Zhixin's boyfriend, Da Bao, was the secretary of the president of Ji's Group.

Could he be here now?

Another girl with a pointed chin said enviously, "That rich and handsome CEO? I can only ever see his back."

The round-faced girl said with a smug look, "I've served him twice, and he was so handsome, I almost fainted on the spot!"

The girl seemed reluctant to stop talking, and pressed her chest as if her heart was beating too fast and needed to be calmed.

"He's not only handsome and young, but also incredibly rich! If I had a boyfriend like that, I'd die happy!"

The round-faced girl looked on with longing.

"Haha, that kind of guy is handsome and rich, all the women are swarming around him, how could it be our turn?" the girl with the pointed chin said, standing on tiptoe to try and see.

The round-faced girl's expression changed slightly: "No, I need to go to the restroom. They should call me over there to provide services later."

She said this and left in a hurry.

Out of curiosity, Ye Cheng craned her neck to look around. She wanted to see Hua Zhixin's boyfriend, who kept talking about Dabao all day long.

I remember that Da Bao, as described by Hua Zhixin, was a refined scoundrel; perhaps I can recognize him.

But the line of sight couldn't penetrate the dense crowd; all I could see were the backs of heads.

Ji Lingfeng was escorted into the banquet hall of his hotel by several tall and imposing bodyguards. The man walked with a steady and agile gait, and his expression was aloof and composed.

"Mr. Ji."

"Young Master Ji."

The people who gathered around greeted him respectfully.

Ji Lingfeng nodded slightly.

Mr. Li, the general manager of Jianghe Industry, also greeted him with a smile. The two had previously conducted a joint inspection in Europe, and the cooperative project had not yet been completed. They took the opportunity of today's banquet to continue their discussions.

"What are you standing there for? We didn't pay you to come and watch the show, get to work!"

The supervisor appeared behind Ye Cheng like a ghost, speaking in a very unfriendly tone.

Ye Cheng twitched the corners of her mouth. Everyone was watching the show, but they were all staring at her.

Just as she was about to leave, her supervisor called her back.

"Part-time, wait a minute!"

Ye Cheng stopped in her tracks. The supervisor looked her up and down, then squinted and asked, "I don't think I've seen you before. You haven't done any part-time work at Intercontinental before, have you?"

Ye Cheng answered truthfully, "Yes, it's the first time today."

The supervisor nodded and said, "Very good. Now you go with your colleagues to serve drinks to the VIPs."

He paused for a moment, then said with a serious face, "Today's distinguished guests are all business tycoons. Be more careful and efficient in your work."

The important person who came today is the hotel owner, the president of the Ji Group. This young, handsome, and wealthy CEO does not allow women to approach within five meters.

There are quite a few infatuated waiters, one after another, trying their best to get close to the CEO, hoping to catch his interest and rise to the top.

A newcomer would be best; they're honest and won't cause her any trouble.

Upon arriving at the bar, the manager called over the round-faced girl: "Xiaoyu, take the new part-time worker with you to serve drinks to the VIPs."

The round-faced girl called Xiaoyu had clearly just touched up her makeup, making her look even more refined.

She kept a straight face, her wary gaze sweeping over Ye Cheng from head to toe, before her expression relaxed slightly.

She was a woman older than her. Although she was reasonably good-looking, she wasn't a big threat. Her advantage was her youth.

It's rare for President Ji to grace us with his presence, so she's determined to seize the opportunity today.

When President Ji left last time, he seemed to have glanced back at her.

Perhaps she has already caught his attention; she should try harder.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu raised her head and straightened her chest.
