46 -46: Beauty Company
“Four Seasons Spring” is located on the northwest corner of an intersection in Zhongzhou City’s bustling district, with a prime geographical position.
Every day, during lunch and dinner time, the hotel’s nearby parking lots are filled with luxury cars—those coming and going are without exception, social elites with status and identity.
Xia Chenyu parked her sports car and walked alongside Fang Bai toward the “Four Seasons Spring” hotel.
A door attendant with a delicate appearance smiled broadly, courteously opening the hotel’s grand entrance for them, rewarded with a hundred yuan tip casually flicked by Xia Chenyu.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, a vibrant young waitress immediately came forward.
After Xia Chenyu announced the room she reserved, the waitress led them to the “Plum Blossom Hall.”
Entering the “Plum Blossom Hall,” the first thing they saw was a Chinese painting inscribed with “The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitterness and cold.”
In the painting, snowflakes danced, and red plum blossoms bloomed defiantly.
With few strokes, yet the spirit and unbending character of the plum blossoms, fearless of the harsh cold, were vividly depicted—clearly the work of some renowned Chinese painting master.
“I like plum blossoms, especially their spirit, so whenever I invite someone to eat, I choose this ‘Plum Blossom Hall.'”
After sitting down, Xia Chenyu gazed at the painting “The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitterness and cold,” and seemed to ponder something, sparkles flashing in her beautiful eyes.
A waiter in a green uniform poured a cup of tea for Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu, then closed the private room door and waited outside for instructions.
Fang Bai picked up the tea and sipped slowly, his gaze wandering as he surveyed the hotel private room.
The private room was small, but well laid out and elegantly decorated.
The furniture and utensils all had an antique charm and obviously were quite valuable—it was no wonder the high costs here deterred the salaried class.
“You’ve heard of the ‘Su Family Group’ in Zhongzhou, haven’t you?” asked Xia Chenyu suddenly.
Fang Bai nodded; living in Zhongzhou City, how could he not know of the famous “Su Family Group”?
Even if others didn’t know about the “Su Family Group,” Fang Bai definitely did.
That’s because his classmate, Su Linglong, was the cherished granddaughter of Su Hongyuan, Old Master Su, the founder of the “Su Family Group.”
“‘Four Seasons Spring’ is a subsidiary of the ‘Su Family Group.’ Currently, the ‘Four Seasons Spring’ hotel chain has spread throughout Huaxia’s major cities.
Just this venture alone generates a substantial profit for the Su Family every year…
You can hardly imagine, but Old Master Su Hongyuan started from scratch and in just over two decades, has built the ‘Su Family Group’ into a behemoth in the Huaxia business community…” Xia Chenyu spoke with excitement, her words clearly revealing her admiration and esteem for Su Hongyuan, the creator of the “Su Family Group.”
“Old Master Su is the role model I learn from and the goal I strive towards!” Xia Chenyu ambitiously concluded, “I hope that one day I can take the company my mother handed to me and expand it to become a giant in the business world!”
Dining at “Four Seasons Spring,” one doesn’t only enjoy the prestige—they also have truly exceptional food, with each dish achieving a perfect blend of color, aroma, and taste.
After the dishes and drinks were served, Fang Bai couldn’t help but praise each dish he tasted.
With fine food came fine liquor, naturally.
Instead of red wine, the two drank strong white liquor.
According to Xia Chenyu, red wine lacked the spirit to perk her up, whereas white liquor was pungent and bold, fitting her personality and was her favorite. freёnovelkiss.com
Whether by nature or acquired through cultivation, Xia Chenyu had a high tolerance for alcohol.
Half a jin in, not only was she not the slightest bit tipsy, but she also seemed more energized.
The two blushes on her alabaster cheeks looked like ripe, juicy peaches, irresistibly tempting one to rush over and take a big bite.
Xia Chenyu had half a jin of white liquor, and Fang Bai drank not much less than her.
For Fang Bai, drinking alcohol could stimulate the circulation of Qi and blood within the body, which was beneficial to Cultivation, the more he drank, the better.
So when Xia Chenyu repeatedly raised her glass to toast him and thank him for saving her life, he would immediately tilt his head back and drink without hesitation, as if it wasn’t alcohol but plain water he was drinking.
The waiter at Plum Blossom Hall was sent away by Xia Chenyu, and the two of them sat side by side.
Chenyu kept filling Fang Bai’s glass and offering him dishes.
Fang Bai readily accepted them, and the two were like longtime close friends, not at all feeling the lack of company even though they were the only ones there.
As they ate, they talked, but most of the time, it was Chenyu speaking and Fang Bai listening.
Chenyu told him that her company was Beauty Company.
The company was founded by Chenyu’s mother, and after her mother passed away, Chenyu took over its management.
Beauty Company’s business focused on weight loss, health preservation, beauty care, and body shaping, and it also acted as an agent for some well-known cosmetics and skincare products.
What Chenyu inherited from her mother was not only her beautiful looks and refined temperament but also her excellent business acumen.
Originally just a small company breaking even, under her leadership, it quickly made a name for itself, achieving tens of millions in profit per year, and the number of employees grew from the initial two hundred to over five hundred at present.
Though Chenyu was a woman, she had ambitions no less grand than a man’s, with a wholehearted desire to grow her company and make it into a globally renowned beauty brand, not just in Huaxia.
“There are hundreds of notable beauty companies in Huaxia.
For Beauty Company to become a leader among them is a long and arduous task, but I am confident that I can achieve it!”
Chenyu’s spirits were high as she spoke, her beautiful face that made it difficult for others to look directly at her was lit up with a confident smile, and as her big watery eyes shifted, they were full of allure.
Fang Bai thought to himself no wonder there is a saying “a feast for the eyes”—sitting with such a beautiful and charming woman, even without eating a bite, merely gazing at her more would be enough to leave one satisfied.
“President Xia, here’s to you.
May you achieve your dreams soon!”
Fang Bai said, raising his glass.
After clinking glasses with Fang Bai, Chenyu responded, “Calling me President Xia is too formal, I am just a bit older than you, you should just call me Sister.”
“Sister Xia.”
Fang Bai called out with a smile.
“For that ‘Sister Xia,’ let us brother and sister drink another one!”
“Alright.”
“Having gained a brother like you, I’m very happy, we must drink another one.”
“Cheers!”
After three consecutive drinks, the alcohol consumption was a bit too quick.
Fang Bai was fine, but Chenyu’s cheeks became a touch redder.
“Last night, it seemed like you really liked the Jade Pendant I was wearing.
I can’t give you mine, so I specially bought you a new one…
identical to mine.”
Chenyu set her glass down and fished out a small red square box from the bag behind her.
Inside the box lay a heart-shaped Jade Pendant tied with a red silk string, its green jade gleaming with a moist luster under the light, obviously worth a great deal.
