232 Female College Student
Suddenly, a familiar engine sound appeared in Shan Yue’s ears. A wicked smile appeared on her lips. “I’ll stand here. You’ll let me in later.”
“Don’t think I’ll pity you. Even if you die standing at the door today, I won’t let you step in.”
Seeing this, Shan Yue stopped talking and waited quietly. As expected, a minute later, she heard the voice she had expected. “Shan Yue, why are you standing at the door? Since you’re already here, go in.”
Before Shan Yue could speak, the waiter who had just stopped her stood in front of her and bowed slightly. “President Zhou, you’re here.”
Zhou Xuan’s cold eyes were as cold as ice. After glancing at the waiter who greeted him, he turned his gaze back to Shan Yue.
“Was it me who didn’t want to go in?” Shan Yue’s words were filled with mockery. “It was this waiter who stopped me from entering and even mistook me for a female university student who wanted to climb the social ladders.”
Zhou Xuan looked at the waiter again, but this time, he was staring intently. An irresistible pressure instantly assaulted his face.
He Sheng, who was beside him, immediately saw Zhou Xuan’s anger, but because of his status, it was not appropriate for him to speak directly in public. He quickly took a step forward. “Who are you? How dare you stop President Shan?”
As soon as he heard the words ‘President Shan’, the waiter was instantly frightened. Even his words began to tremble. “President… President Shan, how is that possible? She just got out of the taxi. President Shan, I’m sorry. I failed to recognize you and offended you. Please don’t stoop to the level of a petty person like me.”
Faced with this situation, Shan Yue’s face did not change. She only asked softly, “Then can I go in now?”
“Yes, yes, of course. Please come in.” The waiter quickly made a very respectful gesture.
Shan Yue, who had walked through the door, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said calmly, “I don’t want to see this person at the entrance of the hotel in the future.” With that, she strode forward without looking back.
Zhou Xuan only glanced at He Sheng, and He Sheng immediately understood what he meant from his eyes. He quickly found the hotel owner and resolutely fired him no matter how the waiter explained.
“Miss Shan, there’s no need to let what just happened affect your mood. It’s not worth it.” Zhou Xuan caught up to Shan Yue, his cold voice filled with concern. “You still have to show your face at the banquet today and let everyone know your contribution to the project.”
“I understand, President Zhou. Don’t worry about me.” Shan Yue glanced sideways and revealed a faint smile. “You underestimate me too much. This small matter isn’t enough to affect me.”
“That’s for the best.” Zhou Xuan’s tone gradually became calm. “There’s still some time before the banquet begins. I’ll excuse myself for a moment. After the banquet begins, I’ll go on stage with President Shan to give a speech.”
“Alright, President Zhou. If you have something to do, go ahead.”
Not long after Zhou Xuan left, a familiar voice sounded beside him. “Miss Shan Yue, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Shan Yue looked back in the direction of the voice. It was the mayor of S City, Han Lin. “Mayor Han, what a coincidence that you’re here today.”
“It’s because President Zhou’s collaboration with the Las Vegas project is successful.” Han Lin had a smile on his face, and his eyebrows were curved into an arc. “President Zhou took this opportunity to invite all the big shots from various industries to the gathering and build a platform for everyone to get to know each other. After all, there are many paths for friends.”
“That’s true.”
“I heard that President Zhou is going to introduce his business partner to everyone today.” As Han Lin spoke, his eyes were already filled with envy. “It’s really the dream of many people to be able to work with a talent like President Zhou. Unfortunately, I probably won’t have this chance in my life.”
