Shi Jing and Xu Jiao indeed had their own style.
After having fun, going crazy, and enjoying themselves to their heart's content, they actually checked out.
They had already reserved another presidential suite on the same floor of this hotel, down the corridor.
Anyway, all expenses were paid by Qian Xuan, so they didn't have to worry about the cost, nor could they; it was a matter of professional discipline!
To some people, money is just paper, a symbol or code, without much of a concept attached to it.
But to many others, alas, money is life...
This arrangement was good; it didn't disturb Liu Zhizhong, nor did it affect his actions and lifestyle here.
Was Liu Zhizhong comfortable or helpless with this kind of treatment?
Actually, he felt numb but pretty cool.
No matter where he went, there were always big shots from these circles serving him from behind; how could he not feel cool?
The next morning, he got up, freshened up, and ordered breakfast to his room.
At this moment, he didn't need to consider Shi Jing and the others; they would arrange things for themselves.
Apart from in bed, they tried to have as little intersection with Liu Zhizhong as possible—it was their professional principle.
While Liu Zhizhong was eating breakfast, Xiang Wenxin entered the dining room.
Xiang Wenxin had a key, which was no problem at all.
Her early arrival wasn't an issue either.
At her family's status, many young people were not like the idle types imagined; they didn't completely lay back but had a regular schedule. Typically, they didn't sleep until they awoke naturally or stay up until dawn. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Regular sleep schedules, healthy and nutritious diets, and good eating habits were the mainstream for them. This was true for Qian Xuan and Feng Xiaoyue.
Now, it was true for Xiang Wenxin as well.
Liu Zhizhong was somewhat surprised but got up and smiled, "Good morning, Miss Xiang. Have you had breakfast? If not, come join me for some..."
"You're up pretty early too", she sat down opposite him, put down her bag, crossed her legs elegantly, fumbled for a cigarette, and added, "I've already eaten. I'm here to pick you up!"
Having such a beauty pick him up naturally delighted Liu Zhizhong.
Xiang Wenxin was dressed perfectly for a day out at the Grand Canyon.
Casual, loose pink T-shirt with water ripple decoration paired with tight black silk hot shorts, without any jewelry—she really had a natural, unadorned cute look.
The sunglasses hanging in the V-neck of her shirt slipped down a bit, revealing white, glistening scenery beneath.
On her head, a sun hat with its brim turned upward was simply expressive!
She lit her cigarette; she was at once elegant, attractive, and had a devious charm like a villainess from a manga.
Anyway, to Liu Zhizhong's eyes, no matter how she dressed, she damn looked tasty. To him, she was truly unique amongst all the beauties he had seen in the Southern Country.
"Miss Xiang really keeps to early to bed, early to rise. It's no wonder your skin looks so great and your figure is amazing. You clearly look like the 'wow' number one beauty of the Southern Country!"
Liu Zhizhong had a way with words; compliments slipped out effortlessly.
"Wow your head, you silver-tongued devil! You really know how to charm a woman!" Xiang Wenxin laughed, casually swearing as usual, and then glanced at Liu Zhizhong's breakfast. "Secretary Liu's got a good appetite, huh? Having four dishes first thing in the morning."
"Uh..." Liu Zhizhong chuckled, "Well, we're heading to Longfeng Mountain Grand Canyon today, right? I'll burn a lot of energy, so it's right to eat more."
Xiang Wenxin nodded, a teasing smile flickering at the corner of her eye, "You've got a nice appetite indeed! Last night when you came back here, you had two dishes, right?"
"Huh?" Liu Zhizhong was momentarily puzzled, then said blankly, "Last night? When I came back, I just had a wash, drank some wine, and slept. I didn't have any late-night snack! If you mean two dishes, I had peanuts and these hard Southern braised soybeans to go with the drink."
His honest and straightforward manner made Xiang Wenxin cover her mouth and laugh again.
"You scoundrel! Are you teasing me on purpose? You sound so sincere, like you're giving a work report. I meant you had two 'dishes' in bed, right?"
"Ah... err, that...", Liu Zhizhong suddenly caught on, smacking his forehead, and said somewhat awkwardly, "You've got insiders, Miss Xiang?"
"Insiders your ghost!" Xiang Wenxin rolled her eyes at him, her expression vivid, "Do you know what major I studied in college?"
"No, I don't know..."
Xiang Wenxin said with a little smugness, "I studied analytical chemistry, specializing in odor analysis at the graduate level. So, I've studied the physical and chemical components of odors in the air quite a bit. There are remnants of four different women's perfumes in this living room..."
Liu Zhizhong's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wow, that's impressive, but where are the four women? Clearly, there were only two last night..."
His shocked and candid reaction made Xiang Wenxin cover her mouth and laugh again.
"Men are dogs, all men are dogs, you silver thief!"
After a round of playful scolding, Xiang Wenxin continued, "The first woman's scent is my perfume, the highest quality natural magnolia essential oil; the second is from the cleaning lady who cleaned your room, the cheapest synthetic rose scent; the third and fourth, one is artificial mint and the other artificial rose oil, both are mid-range synthetic production, each has about half natural additives, not too bad."
Liu Zhizhong was genuinely impressed, staring at her with his thumb up, at a loss for words.
However, Xiang Wenxin simply smirked with a teasing smile, "Wouldn't have thought it, you silver thief, soliciting two at a time!"
