The Tianhe Grand Hotel is very famous in Jianghai City. If you want to host a banquet or cocktail party here, you need to make a reservation at least a month in advance, and it's almost impossible to get a spot. The position Ye Qingsnow reserved was in the revolving restaurant on the eleventh floor.
The entire eleventh floor is made of glass. From the outside, you can only see the colorful lights and crystal-clear exterior decorations, like a huge crystal palace. From the outside, it looks like a giant mushroom, with the building below as the stem and the top as the huge crystal mushroom cap.
Each floor has unique decorations, and the higher the floor, the more distinguished the identity it represents. Although the Tianhe Hotel is open to everyone, ordinary people can hardly book the eleventh floor, and the consumption here is not something everyone can afford.
The layout of the Tianhe Hotel is very interesting. The first to third floors are lounges, decorated very elegantly, with various drinks and coffee all free of charge. Many wealthy people like the environment here, sitting to read magazines or newspapers, and some people specifically come here to make useful friends.
The fourth floor is a banquet hall, the most ordinary one here, but even though it's ordinary, the decoration is still very luxurious.
The fifth to ninth floors are guest rooms, with prices ranging from 998 to 9998, and the environment inside is completely different, with all kinds of services available.
The tenth floor is a fitness center, usually quite lively.
Xia Tian's attire was very casual, forming a stark contrast with the others who entered. Everyone else was dressed formally or appropriately, but Xia Tian's clothes were rather shabby.
Although the security guards and staff found Xia Tian's attire strange, they did not stop him. After all, to enter the upper floors, you need to pay, and only the fourth and eleventh floors have no requirements. However, there are many security guards there, and if they find someone who is not invited by the host, they will be directly escorted out.
Ye Qingsnow was very happy today. It was her twentieth birthday, and her mother had booked the eleventh floor of the Tianhe Hotel to host this birthday party. She invited her good friends, and of course, some uninvited guests, as well as the children of her mother's business partners.
"Qingsnow, this is Chanel perfume. Happy birthday."
"LV bag, happy birthday."
"CL high heels, darling, happy birthday."
One by one, Ye Qingsnow's friends presented their gifts. Of course, there were also some ordinary gifts, and some of her classmates who didn't have much money gave gifts ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred yuan. But Ye Qingsnow was still very happy and thanked everyone.
Today, Ye Qingsnow wore a white dress, and in the dress, she looked like a fairy descending from heaven, pure and ethereal, capturing everyone's attention. No man could resist her charm, and even the women looked at her with envy, jealousy, and admiration.
More and more people came to present their gifts, and Ye Qingsnow thanked them all gently, but she seemed distracted. Dozens of men had already expressed their admiration to her.
But her mind was not here; she was waiting for someone to appear.
"Miss Ye, you are so beautiful. May I have the chance to pursue you?" A rich second-generation walked up gracefully and said gently.
Compared to this rich second-generation's directness, many others were just envious.
"Too beautiful, if she could be my girlfriend, I would be willing to live ten years less."
"Don't daydream. How could we possibly match her? Look at those people over there, all rich second-generation or officials' children. The competition among them is also very intense."
"Look, who's coming."
Everyone turned their eyes to the door. At that moment, a well-dressed, elegant man walked in, holding a large bouquet of roses. Seeing him, everyone sighed.
"Wang Nianlin, one of the four princes of Jianghai, a third-year student at Jianghai University, and the vice president of the student council."
"It's him. He is a die-hard fan of Ye Qingsnow. I heard he has been pursuing her since she entered Jianghai University."
"I wonder what new tricks he has this time."
Seeing Wang Nianlin, even the rich second-generation and officials' children were envious. Although Wang Nianlin is also a rich second-generation, his father's company is a listed company, and the business is a family enterprise.
One could say that he is the type of person who, if he stomps his foot in Jianghai City, countless people will come to polish his shoes.
Originally, Wang Nianlin walked steadily and confidently, but at that moment, a woman in casual clothes walked in from the door, attracting even more attention. The woman had no fancy decorations, but her beauty was no less than Ye Qingsnow's. Ye Qingsnow looked pure and ethereal, while this woman had a simple and natural beauty.
"Qingsnow, I'm not late, right? This is the calligraphy brush I got from my old man for you." The woman walked over directly, quickly surpassing Wang Nianlin.
Although Wang Nianlin was very unhappy, he had no way to deal with this woman.
"Today is really lucky. I didn't expect to see the two top beauties of Jianghai University here. She's here too."
"Ye Qingsnow ranks fourth, and the woman ranks just below her. This is because she is too strong, and no one dares to pursue her. Otherwise, her ranking might be higher than Ye Qingsnow's."
"It's her, Hu Wen, the president of the student council at Jianghai University. I've never heard of anyone with the surname Hu before."
Seeing Hu Wen, everyone started to discuss. Hu Wen and Ye Qingsnow were very close friends at Jianghai University. Since it was Ye Qingsnow's birthday, she naturally came. It was well-known that Ye Qingsnow was a refined woman, and her calligraphy was the best in the entire school, so Hu Wen gave her a calligraphy brush.
"From the Qing Dynasty, Wen, did you steal it?" Ye Qingsnow looked at the brush in her hand and said in surprise. How could she not recognize the origin of this brush?
A grand gesture, to give an antique as a birthday gift. Seeing the gift Hu Wen gave, Wang Nianlin's face changed. He originally thought that his gift would outshine everyone else's, but Hu Wen had already presented something like this.
"Don't worry, what belongs to my old man is mine." Hu Wen smiled and put her arm around Ye Qingsnow's.
"Thank you, Hu." Although she liked the gifts from others, regardless of their value, they were not what she truly wanted. But this brush was different, like a fan getting a Kobe Bryant-signed jersey.
Although Hu Wen stole some of the spotlight, Wang Nianlin still walked towards Ye Qingsnow. After all, Hu Wen was just a woman.
The bouquet of roses had a deep meaning.
The rich second-generation who saw Wang Nianlin's appearance left there on his own. Although his family was wealthy, compared to the Wang family, it was like a small witch meeting a big one.
Bingxin looked at the door but saw no one, and shook her head at Ye Qingsnow.
Hu Wen looked at Bingxin in confusion but did not ask. At that moment, everyone's attention was back on Wang Nianlin, as if he were the male lead of the day. Wang Nianlin walked step by step to Ye Qingsnow and then knelt on one knee: "Qingsnow, happy birthday."
"Thank you." Ye Qingsnow smiled and took the roses. Although the roses had different meanings, since Wang Nianlin had said "happy birthday," she couldn't refuse.
At this moment, Wang Nianlin took out a box from the roses. Seeing the box, everyone knew the main event was coming. Wang Nianlin had deliberately hidden the box in the flowers, fearing that Ye Qingsnow would refuse it.
Now that Ye Qingsnow had taken the flowers, it meant she had accepted everything, including the box.
Wang Nianlin gently opened the box, and a sparkling diamond ring appeared before everyone. Only then did everyone understand that Wang Nianlin's flowers were a ruse, and the ring was the real deal. If he had directly given Ye Qingsnow the ring, she would have absolutely refused it.
After all, a diamond ring represents a significant commitment. If Ye Qingsnow had directly accepted the ring, it would mean she accepted Wang Nianlin's pursuit.
"Qingsnow, I have always liked you. I hope you can accept my love." Wang Nianlin put the ring back in the flowers, indicating that Ye Qingsnow had already accepted the ring.
"Wang Shao is Wang Shao, indeed impressive. Even his skills in pursuing women are beyond our imagination."
"Ah, with Wang Shao making a move, I guess I have no chance."
"That's right. Do you dare to compete with Wang Shao for a woman? We should help Wang Shao, which will also help us connect with such a big figure."
The group of officials' children and rich second-generation discussed. If Wang Nianlin hadn't appeared, they might have competed. Their families' powers were not much different, but now that Wang Nianlin was here, they had no chance.
In front of Wang Nianlin, they all seemed so weak.
"Sorry, I'm a bit late. Qingsnow, happy birthday." At that moment, a voice came from the entrance of the banquet hall, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
Ye Qingsnow's face lit up with joy. Although Bingxin was a bit unhappy, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the expressions on the two women's faces, Hu Wen also looked at the person at the door.
