"How beautiful!" Lin Luoran couldn't help but exclaim. Her big eyes reflected the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, and hotel complexes before her. In this southern ice and snow scenery, all human efforts that seemed to swallow a thousand miles would appear unusually small.

The Scandinavian Hotel was quite unique on this snowy mountain peak; it looked like a quaint European town with wooden chalets scattered among the snow-capped peaks and coniferous trees. At first glance, it felt as though they had entered Hogwarts from Harry Potter. Of course, at that time, the film Harry Potter hadn't been released yet.

Each villa was covered by a layer of fluffy snow like a blanket. It was unbelievable how far away from here, a hundred kilometers into Chengdu city center, it was still late summer there. One couldn't imagine they were sitting and drinking beer in the cool night air just two days ago in Chengdu before the heat had dissipated. But now, the surrounding air felt to be several degrees below zero.

As soon as everyone got off the car, they all put on thick coats and went straight to the hotel lobby because their group was rather large. Su Can simply rented an entire villa for them. Upon arrival, they found out there were ten villas in total; besides the one reserved by Su Can's group, seven others were already fully occupied.

Though a single villa could vary in size, it generally had between five to eight standard suites and single rooms. A villa couldn't accommodate many people, yet the price was comparable to that of top-tier hotels in first-tier cities, making quite a few people hesitate before choosing other nearby accommodations. Today, however, the hotel's hot spring business was surprisingly booming; apparently, it was due to someone’s birthday celebration, inviting numerous guests here for a gathering. The receptionist processed Su Can and his group's check-in procedures as they moved towards their villa. Meanwhile, the staff were secretly discussing among themselves about the arriving cars with much excitement, talking about how one of them had just seen a celebrity and was wondering if they should ask for an autograph, feeling rather nervous. Of course, when Su Can’s group arrived, they nearly got mistaken as being part of the invited guests, and Lin Luoran's sweet appearance naturally made everyone take another look at her, naturally thinking she might be an up-and-coming celebrity not yet famous on television

"Who are these important figures in the business circles of Yu City Which ones" When retrieving their room keys, Lin Zouwu couldn't help but tease the two receptionists. Upon hearing their conversation, he casually asked a question. The questioned receptionist detected the casual and slightly flippant tone from this person before them without the same level of excitement or curiosity as in their mutual discussions.

However, she didn’t feel any disdain or arrogance towards Lin Zouwu, Su Can, and Lin Luoran’s group. People who could stay at the Scandinavian Hotel were definitely not ordinary salary workers from this era; they likely weren't even middle-class workers. The receptionist's monthly wage of 1500 yuan was already considered decent in Chengdu, comparable to what a junior white-collar worker might earn after years of hard work, allowing them to live quite comfortably. However, her wage wasn’t enough to cover the cost of just one night’s stay in a single room at this villa.

To know that some core areas of Chengdu have housing prices as low as two to three thousand yuan per square meter, the quality of these waitresses is relatively high since they were selected for this enviable job. After a few years of work, they could afford the down payment on a house within the Third Ring Road. Despite their rich and fulfilling expectations, reality often leaves them feeling stark.

Therefore, when questioned about Lin Zouwu, the front desk staff wearing black tights didn’t find it out of place. One of them, with single eyelids but a prominent nose, said, "It seems to be Yi Lihuan from the Zhengfan Group. There was a banner in the hotel restaurant area that our hotel provided. This isn't an exposure, right"

Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang exchanged glances, their expressions immediately turning somewhat rigid.

Originally, they thought it would be refreshing to feel the chill here, making them feel comfortable and at ease as everything was clear and tranquil.

Especially with Lin Luoran present and all the hotel staff being attractive, it was simply breathtaking.

But unexpectedly, an extremely incongruous name appeared in this most fitting place—Yi Lihuan. This name felt like dark clouds suddenly gathering under a clear blue sky, instantly covering everything in darkness. Like the sudden change of weather on Xiling Snow Mountain, where it could be sunny one moment and snowing heavily the next.

Su Cen showed no expression. Wang Weiwei said "Oh" and added, "Zhengfan Group His father is Yi Jiaoshun, a thirty-billion-yuan company that’s quite renowned. So he chose to have his birthday party here"

"That's really romantic," Lin Luoran praised, noting the air conditioning in the hotel was powerful enough not to feel cold despite just coming from outside where it had been icy and snowy. It wasn't hard to admit that the person throwing a birthday party at this place was quite imaginative. After some thought, her big eyes like lakes looked at Su Cen again: "However, we’re doing well too, considering how you came up with such an idea. I’ll definitely enjoy soaking in the hot springs for a while."

"Hey, don’t always praise him," Lu Nannan protested, "After all, it was me who diligently brought you here safely today. Even if there’s no merit, there’s still effort involved."

Lin Zhouwu simply patted Lu Nannan's shoulder and said, "Forget it. If you want to compete with Su Can, you're naturally one level lower in my sister’s heart. Just humbly work as an old ox for a few years." Lin Luoran raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, wanting to be angry but feeling inferior instead. Her face turned slightly red and she looked at Su Can with resentment in her eyes, "If it were Su Can, there would be no need for competition. I'm right here, my hand is also right here. You can pull me wherever you want at any time, but the question is, are you brave enough to do so"

Even the black-stockinged reception girls felt that this line of dialogue was tempting enough to make one's nose bleed. Looking at Lin Luoran, their latent lesbian tendencies were aroused. The male students present, including Xue Bing Li Jun who came over as Su Can’s driver and bodyguard, were all stirred by this scene. They thought to themselves, "Boss Su, Boss Su, there seems to be a secret affair here."

Lu Nannan repeated to himself with a gloomy expression, “Heartbroken, heartbroken… it's so unfair... so unfair!” Lin Luoran approached Su Can aggressively and stopped right in front of him. Even his breath was disturbed by her plum blossom-like breathing. He felt that the unexpected ups and downs of his heartbeat were quite significant. Then came another condescending flirtatious glance from Lin Luoran, "You're not brave enough You little brat, I knew you would be too ashamed."

Impulsiveness comes with a price; it is the devil.

Su Can's breathing had an intermittent disturbance but fortunately he could promptly digest and resolve any chest congestion or fiery anger that Lin Luoran’s words might have caused him. He adjusted his breath in secret, sighing inwardly at how Lin Luoran was truly a wicked demon who didn’t pay for the damage she caused and was becoming increasingly cunning and dangerous.

Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang didn't say anything but looked at each other曖昧不明地看著二人。不過這個小插曲暫時讓他們忘卻了此刻同在酒店內部的易力歡所帶來的威脅。

It seems that the last sentence was cut off, so I will translate only what has been provided:>Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang didn't say anything but looked at each other with ambiguous glances, staring at the two of them.

Lin Luoran stared at Su Can for a few seconds before turning around and picking up her small white backpack, saying "Let's go to our accommodation."

No one in the hotel restaurant in Central District failed to notice this suddenly appearing sweet girl who had both an attractive figure and beautiful looks. As such, many experienced men were immediately drawn to her when she appeared, making them the focus of attention at once. Her jet-black shoulder-length hair bounced lightly as she walked, giving off a refreshing and sweet vibe that pierced through everyone in attendance. The only regrettable thing was that her legs were hidden within jeans; if she had worn a uniform like those waitresses did, how captivating would they be Of course, it being winter outside, such an expectation couldn't be too strong. Nevertheless, one could appreciate them when soaking in hot springs later.

Everyone whispered amongst themselves, wanting to know her background and if she knew anyone there that they could socialize with for possible future developments. However, the girls present were somewhat unhappy, especially those who already had boyfriends. At this moment, these girls would viciously pinch their boyfriends' waists and whisper in their ears, "Is she attractive Your eyes are about to pop out of your head. Do you want me to introduce someone to you" After waiting for a long time and no one stopping Lin Luoran, they noticed Su Can and the others following her and understood that these people were not from the same circle as them.

Many felt disappointed although this girl was unfamiliar with Yi Lihuan. However, he immediately recognized an important figure after seeing her. Liu Rui's gaze fell upon Yi Lihuan. Although Yi Lihuan stood still and Liu Rui walked past him, a sudden tension filled the air between them. A narrow escape from one’s enemy. After Lin Luoran's appearance, everyone in Yi Lihuan's group noticed every move made by her and Su Can, sensing something amiss.

Su Can, who had already identified today’s main character through Liu Rui's gaze, suddenly stopped walking. With his finger extended straight out, he performed a gesture of execution in Yi Lihuan's direction. He then slightly raised it. Tap. Lin Luoran, who was walking ahead, paused and turned around. Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang were astonished by Su Can’s actions as Lin Zouwu and Wang Weiwei also stopped to look at Yi Lihuan with the same confused expressions as Li Pengyu and Lu Nannan. Sun Bing and Li Jun, who carried two bags for them, wore stone-like faces without much expression. In the crowd, Wen Diao, Xu Hu, Yang Lei, among others, recognized Su Can’s sudden appearance.

This absurd scene confused everyone; were they familiar or strangers to each other Was this a form of greeting, or was it some kind of challenge Otherwise, he must be crazy. Seeing the reactions from people around him due to Su Can's gesture, someone tentatively asked, "Young Master Yi, do you know them" He didn't dare believe that anyone in this region would挑釁從未吃虧過的他們這群人。

Yi Lihuan slightly curled his lips: "The kid who bumped into my car is being overly arrogant. It's a death wish."act you to discuss some construction matters regarding Star Sea Square. What would you like me to do""Zhong Jianjun," Wang Bao replied with an "Oh." Although Li was not very senior, he was a new appoi...
