Xiao Li got off the car at Junxiao Lakeside Hotel and watched Zhang Ziqian drive away in her Ferrari FUV. Suddenly, he noticed that two Mercedes-Benz GLS cars were following behind her car.

She suddenly remembered that when Yingying picked up the car, she got out of this very car.

And after the concert, wasn't the row of Rolls-Royce Phantoms that we saw also followed by a row of these vehicles?

A thought suddenly occurred to her, but she immediately shook her head. How could that be? How could that be? No matter how capable Ziqian is, she couldn't possibly be involved with the owner of that caravan, could she?
As for the owner of that convoy, Xiao Li guessed that it was most likely someone from Junxiao Group, or even the boss. Otherwise, who would have such a grand display?

In addition, she knew that Gao Yue, the chairman of Junxiao Hotel, seemed to travel in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which made her feel that her guess was not far from the truth.

I'll see Ziqian tomorrow and find an opportunity to ask her about it properly.

This trip to Jiangzhou fulfilled a dream. The only downside was not getting Lee Ji-eun's autograph. Otherwise, taking it back to the company would have garnered countless envious glances.

You know, the fact that Lee Ji-eun's Universal Music Tour chose Jiangzhou for its China region has left my colleagues in Shanghai who wanted to go in wanting nothing more than to regret it. I posted a few updates on WeChat Moments from the concert today, and now the likes and comments are overwhelming.

Buzz—Buzz—

As Xiao Li received the room key that Zhang Ziqian had arranged for her from the front desk, she checked her phone for messages:

"Sister Li, could you please get me an autographed photo of Lee Ji-eun?"

"Fine, or not, I'll call you Ancestor Li!"

Xiao Li didn't reply. She wanted it, but she didn't have it herself. Besides, the concert was over now, and whether she would ever have the chance to see Lee Ji-eun again in this lifetime was unknown. After all, she didn't have many opportunities to hold concerts in China, and she couldn't possibly go to every city where she held a concert.

At the lakeside tea room of Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, the morning sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the exquisite rattan chairs and the gleaming tabletops, while the air is filled with the aroma of coffee and the fresh scent of the lake.

Wang Ying, dressed in a well-fitting dress, sat by the window. A brightly colored fruit tea sat in front of her, but her gaze was somewhat unfocused, frequently drifting towards the elevator lobby.

Gao Yuan and Wang Ying also stayed at this hotel, mainly because the Jiangzhou branch of Gaohua Hotel was renovating its offices these past two days, and staying here was convenient.

In the morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, Wang Ying went to the tea room of Junxiao Lakeside Hotel to wait for Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan was in a bad mood after being rebuffed by Zhang Ziqian yesterday, and he wasn't in the mood to work today. He said he wanted Wang Ying to accompany him to the beach. Gao Yuan said he borrowed a yacht from a friend and they were going out to sea for a while.

yacht!

These two words seemed to have a magical power, instantly brightening Wang Ying's mood! This was a top-tier enjoyment exclusively for the wealthy! She had never imagined that she could have such an opportunity! At this moment, she sat here, outwardly calm, but inwardly filled with anticipation for the upcoming "luxury" experience and a hint of barely perceptible vanity.

She picked up her fruit tea and took a sip, her gaze habitually sweeping over the luxurious lobby. The Junxiao Lakeside Hotel's style was indeed far superior to Gaohua; even the reception desk was a striking feature. The two elegant and beautiful women on duty, chatting and laughing softly, would definitely be considered campus beauties in a university. Wang Ying couldn't help but feel a subtle comparison and a touch of melancholy.

Just then, a figure walked in through the hotel's revolving door.

The man was young, with dark skin, a slender build, and a very short buzz cut. He wore seemingly ordinary but well-made casual clothes. He walked briskly, but his eyes held a subtle shrewdness.

His gaze precisely locked onto the two stunningly beautiful receptionists at the front desk—Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei.

He instantly put on an extremely enthusiastic, even slightly ingratiating, smile, and quickly walked over, appearing very polite.

"Ladies! The car is here. Shall we depart now?"

Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei were very excited today because President Chen was going on the yacht again. Although he had been taking them with him on his recent air travels, who wouldn't want more opportunities to get close to President Chen?

The man's name was Li Xingxing; he was arranged by President Cha to pick them up and take them to the yacht. They also knew that Li Xingxing was President Chen's college classmate. Therefore, they nodded politely to him: "Okay, please wait a moment, we'll go to the back to get our bags."

"Okay, okay! If you need any help, just let me know. I'm actually quite strong—"

If Chen Xiao were here, he would be completely shocked. Li Xingxing has always been so arrogant, when did he become so low-key?

Li Xingxing was naturally arrogant and domineering outside, even more so than before. But that depended on who she was dealing with. Zhou Xiaomei and Tang Tang were people Cha Lan had mentioned, implying that Li Xingxing and Tang Tang had some connection with President Chen.

The purpose of the check was to prevent the young man from talking nonsense and offending President Chen's women. Li Xingxing naturally knew the gravity of the situation, so he kept a low profile in front of the two women.

Now that she knows Chen Xiao's identity, Li Xingxing is also clear that as long as she clings to this roommate's coattails, her life is "secure."

Take Zhifei Aerospace for example. Although I didn't know Mr. Cha's identity before, every time I patted him on the shoulder, he made me look so embarrassed. But now, although Mr. Cha says he'll discipline me, he's actually still training me in the company, and he's given me plenty of opportunities and resources.

Wang Ying sat in the tea house and took in the whole scene.

Seeing the unassuming, even somewhat rustic, young man so respectfully courteous to the two beautiful receptionists, she secretly shook her head and muttered, "Simp."

She picked up the slightly cooled fruit tea, took a sip, and then her gaze returned to the magnificent elevator lobby, searching for Gao Yuan's figure. She was thinking about how to take photos to post on WeChat Moments when they went out to sea later, so that they would look natural and "Versailles" enough.

However, the instant her gaze swept over the reception area—

The dark-skinned, buzz-cut man she had just mentally scorned as a "simp," Li Xingxing, perhaps looking around out of boredom while waiting, suddenly turned his head around by sheer coincidence!
Their eyes met unexpectedly, despite being more than ten meters apart and separated by the air flowing through the hotel lobby!
Li Xingxing's small eyes, which held a hint of worldly shrewdness, caught with remarkable precision the lingering, contemptuous sneer on Wang Ying's lips!

"Damn, this is freezing! It's got flavor!"

Li Xingxing muttered something under her breath, her voice filled with the excitement of discovering a new continent.

His unique, somewhat eccentric aesthetic radar was sharply triggered by Wang Ying's disdainful sneer!
Wang Ying's looks were at best above average among the people he had ever seen; her features were plain, and her figure was ordinary. She was originally completely outside Li Xingxing's "hunting" aesthetic range. But at this moment!
Her cold, disdainful sneer, which carried a condescending air, was like a barbed hook that fiercely caught Li Xingxing's exceptionally rebellious and twisted nerve!

A strong desire to conquer, mixed with the excitement of being challenged, erupted from the bottom of his heart like magma!

He licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes burning as he stared at Wang Ying, like he'd locked onto a new and intriguing prey. That cold laugh didn't deter him; instead, it ignited an unprecedented interest within him! He loved this kind of prickly creature! Taming it would be much more exciting!
At this moment, Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei had not yet come out of the employee passage.

Li Xingxing did not hesitate at all!
His face, which had just been plastered with a humble smile, instantly switched to a playful expression tinged with roguish confidence. Ignoring the receptionist, he straightened his not-so-tall frame, strode forward with an undeniable, even slightly aggressive, air, heading straight for the tea area and towards the woman who had sneered at him—Wang Ying!
Wang Ying looked at the man who had been acting like a "simp" just moments before, but now seemed like a completely different person, striding towards her with an aura that inexplicably made her heart flutter. A look of bewilderment flashed across her face.
Her fingers, gripping the slightly cool teacup, tightened unconsciously.

"Beautiful lady, may I get to know you?" Li Xingxing reached out and plucked a flower from a nearby artificial bloom, handing it to Wang Ying: "A yellow rose, for you—"

Wang Ying glanced at the fake flower with disdain and said coldly, "Brother, that's a chrysanthemum."

Li Xingxing was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm a fangirl—"

Wang Ying sneered; it did indeed seem somewhat plausible. She had initially thought this man was coming to cause trouble after seeing her disdainful sneer at him, and she was a little nervous.

Now that she realized the other person was there to pick her up, her earlier nervousness instantly transformed into an even harder barrier of arrogance. She slightly raised her chin, her eyes filled with undisguised aloofness and warning, and before the other person could speak, she coldly preemptively declared:

"Sir, I'm sorry, this place is taken." She deliberately emphasized "taken," implying that the other person should be sensible and leave quickly.

Li Xingxing seemed not to understand what he was saying, or perhaps he simply didn't care. He leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, his gaze not even lingering on Wang Ying's face for a second. Instead, he quickly glanced towards the employee exit like a thief, making sure Tang Tang and the others hadn't come out yet.

"What's there to be afraid of?" he sneered, his tone nonchalant. "Nobody's here yet, so let's chat since it's empty anyway." His nonchalance towards potential threats revealed the swagger typical of a stock market hoodlum—who had Li Xingxing ever been afraid of? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he'd dare to bare his teeth!
Wang Ying was amused by his stubborn attitude. She raised her voice, trying to use her usual threatening tone, implying "I have powerful backers," which she used in the workplace:

"My friend has a terrible temper; I advise you to leave now..."

However, this intense threat was like a mosquito buzzing to Li Xingxing.

Bad temper?

Li Xingxing scoffed inwardly.

I'm the kind of guy who slapped Cha Lan, a billionaire and now my boss, into the ground! I have Chen Xiao standing behind me! How can your so-called "friend" compare?

Far from being intimidated, his eyes darted around Wang Ying's face, which was feigning aloofness but was actually bluster. He grinned, revealing a set of not-so-white teeth:
"Hey beautiful, do you know what my online name is?"

Wang Ying was confused by his haphazard and disjointed approach.

Nickname?

Is this person really out of their mind? What does your username have to do with this? Coming here to introduce yourself? Childish! Sick!

But the curiosity that had been piqued deep within her made her unable to resist following the conversation, and she added a sentence with a strong sense of sarcasm and impatience:
"what?"

When Li Xingxing saw that she had responded, he immediately perked up! He straightened his back abruptly, raised his buzz-cut head, and held his chin high, as if he were not addressing the woman in front of him, but rather declaring an incomparably solemn and great identity to the entire world:

"I am—whose name I will never change—Long! Ao! Tian!"

"Tch—" Wang Ying scoffed. She looked at the dark-skinned, unremarkable man in front of her who had just been fawning over the receptionist, yet he had such a pretentious and exaggerated online name? And he even seemed proud of it?

The stark contrast made her laugh so hard her shoulders shook, and the disdain in her eyes almost overflowed.

"Ha... your online name is Long Aotian? You really think you can look down on the world?" She mocked mercilessly.

Wang Ying had seen him bowing and scraping to the two receptionists just now.

As for myself, at the Gaohua Hotel, which receptionist would greet me with utmost respect and call me "boss"?

Wang Ying seemed to have been provoked by some kind of bored competitive spirit, and with a hint of mockery and condescending retaliatory tone, she continued in a rapid-fire manner:

"What a coincidence—" She deliberately dragged out the words, mimicking Li Xingxing's earlier declaration, a similarly exaggerated smile curving her lips.

My online name is—Sky! Beyond! Sky!

She wanted to see how arrogant this "Dragon Pride" could be in front of "Beyond the Heavens".
"The Outer Heavens?" Li Xingxing was taken aback, then exclaimed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Hahahaha!"

He slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup shake, and under Wang Ying's bewildered and even slightly confused gaze, he declared firmly:
"It's decided! Dude, I'm changing my screen name!"

Wang Ying frowned, completely baffled by this lunatic's thought process. Changing his online name? What did that mean?
Li Xingxing leaned forward slightly, closer to Wang Ying, and said with a mocking, blatantly provocative smile:
"Let's change the name to—Dragon! Sun! Heaven!"

Long Ritian?!

Her expression froze instantly! Just a second later, it was replaced by a deathly pale look, ignited by humiliation and anger! Her mocking eyes widened abruptly, her pupils contracting violently from extreme shock and immense humiliation!
rogue!

asshole!

Vulgar! Shameless!
Wang Ying trembled with rage, her lips quivering, yet she couldn't find the right words to condemn the utterly despicable and shameless man before her! (End of Chapter)
