They suppressed their urge to look up and pretended to do other things.
They're either drinking beverages, playing on their phones, or getting up to get dessert and glancing at it casually.
Fortunately, he didn't know anyone, so he could only pretend to look around for suspicious people.
Ren Anran whispered in her ear, "That waitress over there in uniform, the one who's petite and has a very innocent look."
Following the person she was describing, Shi Xing glanced at him quickly and then looked away.
"Is the eldest son of the Lu family's mistress an employee of the Skyway Hotel?"
"I don't know, but wasn't she Lu Yanting's secretary before? How come she's working as a waitress now?"
Ren Anran was also puzzled. Was it really just a coincidence that she had chased someone all the way to the hotel where he worked?
With his gossip-loving nature taking over, Shi Xing waved to the manager standing at the door, telling him to just ask someone.
The manager recognized her as the big boss and kept a close eye on his movements. When the boss called her, she quickly stepped forward.
"Manager Kong, that waitress over there..." Shi Xing didn't finish her sentence before turning to ask Ren Anran, "Do you know her name?"
"I think her name is Shen Xia. That should be the name on her name tag when I saw her last time."
Shi Xing continued, "Yes, when was the waitress named Chen Xia hired?"
Manager Kong thought about it and realized that there was such a person.
"What instructions did the boss give to the person who applied yesterday?"
Shi Xing frowned slightly, "You just started yesterday and you've already sent someone to the front?"
The people here today are not ordinary people. If someone is inexperienced and offends someone, only the ordinary staff will be unlucky.
Manager Kong was puzzled. Of course she wouldn't make such a mistake, so why would she let a newcomer come to the front?
"I'll take care of it right away."
"Um."
Manager Kong left, and Ren Anran became curious.
"Xingxing, she just called you boss?"
Shi Xing did not hide anything, "Yes, the Skyway Hotel is my property."
Hearing her words, the few people who had gathered around to gossip were slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect you to be the owner of the Skyway Hotel. Luckily, you're amazing." Ren Anran gave her a thumbs up.
Segway is no ordinary person; none of the people in her circle have acquired such a business at such a young age.
Their own businesses are different from the family businesses. If it were the family businesses, they wouldn't be surprised, since everyone has those kinds of businesses.
"We'll give you a discount when you come to shop here in the future."
That's really great.
After this brief interlude, they resumed their previous conversation.
“Chen Xia just came for the job yesterday, which makes us wonder.”
"Exactly, and Manager Kong's expression clearly shows that he was unaware of her coming."
"Tsk tsk, why is she still so persistent?"
"Could it be that Lu Yanting didn't give her a breakup fee?"
"That can't be right, Lu Yanting wouldn't be that stingy."
"She's pitiful too," someone sighed.
Another person shook their head in disagreement, "What are you thinking? Her monthly salary of 500,000 is much higher than others."
All eyes turned to her. "How did you know?"
She asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you? Shen Xia is paid a salary, she's not a proper girlfriend, otherwise why would she be called a lover?"
Ren Anran suddenly realized, "I almost forgot she was a stand-in."
"Huh?" Shi Xing exclaimed excitedly, "Playing such elaborate tricks?"
"It's not certain, it's just our guess."
"How so?"
"When Lu Yanting was in school, he had a crush on one of my friends, but my friend went abroad to study, so the matter ended without a trace."
Later, he found Shen Xia. She often attended some events but never introduced herself, only saying that she was his secretary. In public, she was still single. Shen Xia looked about 70% like my friend, and she imitated his every move.
We guessed she was probably a stand-in for my friend.
Shi Xing stared wide-eyed, his lips twitching. White moonlight and a substitute?
"What if they actually like this type?"
Ren Anran nodded seriously, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
"But it's just studying abroad, not a matter of life and death, why make such a fuss?" Shi Xing asked, puzzled.
The people around remained silent.
Ren Anran replied, "Maybe it's because she went to Germany. I haven't been able to contact her for quite a while. We can only chat occasionally. It's been 6 years now."
Now it's Shi Xing's turn to remain silent.
...
It was only during the engagement ceremony that Xingcai saw the two main characters.
Lu Yanting certainly has the qualities to be liked; with that face, who wouldn't like him?
He was impeccably dressed in a suit, estimated to be around 1.84 meters tall, with a sharply defined face, deep-set eyes, and thin, rosy lips that were slightly pursed. He exuded an aura of indifference.
However, it still falls short compared to a perfect narrative.
As for Guan Qianqian, she has striking features and a flamboyant personality.
Gossiping with them about her past behavior confirmed this; she was indeed arrogant and domineering.
Ren Anran, who was standing nearby, said to her, "Lu Yanting acts like someone owes him hundreds of millions, giving that cold shoulder to whoever he's trying to impress."
Shi Xing glanced at it again, and it was indeed true. His face was sullen and his whole body was filled with low pressure. He looked at Guan Qianqian, who was smiling beside him, and sighed.
Noticing her emotions, Ren Anran said, "They are a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit, they don't deserve any sympathy."
Okay.
After completing the formalities, everyone began their meal. Shi Xing sat at the same table with them, eating and drinking in a harmonious atmosphere.
She has several more contacts in her phone, and quite a few men have come to get to know her.
Shi Xing didn't accept all the requests; she only added people because she wasn't there for a blind date.
On Xu Bai's side, there were also a lot of people who wanted to ask for his WeChat, but his indifferent face deterred many of them.
When facing other people, he has a cold and domineering CEO expression. He is polite to people, but there is always a sense of distance between him and others.
After they got to know each other better, Ren Anran asked her curiously, "Who's that cool, handsome guy who came with you?"
Shi Xing chuckled. Xu Bai was cold-faced? She recalled that it seemed to be true, but he was always gentle and considerate to her, which made her think that Xu Bai was a kind person.
"My personal butler."
The few people who had been listening intently blinked in surprise.
"A personal butler? A steward? Where can you find such a handsome butler? I want one too." Ren Anran sat up straight, her eyes sparkling.
"Well, should we cultivate that from a young age?"
Shi Xing thought that since it was produced by the system and was set up this way from the start, it should be considered as being nurtured from a young age, right?
This answer surprised them for a moment.
Cultivating from a young age? Is that what they mean? A mysterious, reclusive family? Or a childhood sweetheart coming to work? Or perhaps a different way of referring to a childhood sweetheart boyfriend?
Before they could be curious for long, the commotion over there drew everyone's attention.
It was noisy and there were women shouting insults.
The group exchanged glances, their lips curving into knowing smiles as they got up to join in the fun.
As they got closer, they saw a group of people gathered together, and the women squeezed through the gaps between them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Guan Qianqian, one of today's main characters.
