Feng Jianing gritted her teeth and asked, “Alright, we’ll take the side door. Lead the way.”
The security guard chuckled and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have time to bring you over today. If you want to go, go by yourself. Our leader specially instructed us to entertain Madam Xie and the esteemed guests she invited here. As for you, you can only look for the side door along the side of the building. However, I suggest you go from the right. The right is closer to the side door.”
Feng Jianing endured the anger in her heart. She really wanted to slap this little security guard, but she was surrounded by media personnel. If she hit someone here, she would definitely be on the trending topic again. Then, she would be attacked by the Internet again. Feng Jianing looked at the security guard viciously. She swore in her heart that when she returned from the Seven Stars Continent, she would definitely come here again. At that time, she would let this little security guard crawl in front of her and apologize. When did a guard dog dare to be smug with her?
Feng Jianing snorted coldly and walked to the right with her red dress. Although Feng Yuanzhou and Fu Anlan were also very angry, they could only swallow their anger and leave with Feng Jianing when they saw so many people around them. On the right was an alley between the hotel and an office building. The alley was barely enough to fit a car. The narrow alley was dark and dirty. It was a place for house trash and all sorts of junk.
Feng Jianing’s high heels clicked loudly, and she looked aggressive. She regretted it after walking for a while. If she had known that she would have to walk to such a place today, she wouldn’t have come out in a long dress. Even though she was very careful, her dress was still scratched by the various miscellaneous items piled in the alley.
Feng Jianing saw that the hem of her dress had split open a crack. She was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently. This was a dress she had rented. She couldn’t afford to compensate with her current conditions if it was dirtied or broken. Now, be it her or the entire Feng family, they were all waiting for the money that Xian Cheng had agreed to compensate them with. According to what they had agreed on last time, as long as Feng Jianing agreed to go to the Seven Stars Continent with Xian Cheng, Xian Cheng would give the Feng family a lot of benefits. The monetary compensation was only one of them. When Xian Cheng first came into contact with the Feng family, he had already transferred three million yuan to the Feng family’s account. However, this amount of money was still too little for the Feng family. It wasn’t enough to pay off the loan.
However, Xian Cheng had also said that if Feng Jianing could obtain the recognition of the Seven Stars Continent and live there for a long time, he would give the Feng family a considerable sum of money.
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Jianing brought Feng Yuanzhou and Fu Anlan through the hotel’s trash room before arriving at the place where the goods elevator was. The hotel’s guest elevator was only allowed to be used by Madam Xie and the guests she had invited. If the other members wanted to go upstairs, they could only use the employee passageway.
Looking at the elevator car covered in wooden boards, Feng Jianing’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. Before she could enter, she could already smell the oil and smoke emanating from the elevator’s wooden boards. Despite that, Feng Jianing still chose to endure it in the end. However, before the elevator door could close, she saw a hotel cleaner push a cleaning car in without a care. Instantly, the three of them were squeezed into the deepest part of the car. Looking at the dirty cleaning car and the cold cleaner, Feng Jianing’s expression was extremely gloomy. She felt like there was a volcano in her stomach, as if it would explode at any moment.
Perhaps because he had been scratched by the cleaning car just now, Feng Yuanzhou, whose back was tightly pressed against the wall of the elevator, said angrily, “If worse comes to worse, we can change places. We can do this, but we can’t let Mr. Xian use the side door, right?”
Today, Feng Jianing was dressed very carefully. Just her makeup alone took two and a half hours. The powder on her face was almost as thick as a shoe sole, but it couldn’t hide her extremely gloomy expression. Feng Jianing thought for a while and replied, “It’s already too late. There’s less than forty minutes until the appointed time for the apprenticeship banquet. It’s impossible to change hotels now and have to redecorate everything. I can only wrong Mr. Xian like this. I hope he can understand.”
Feng Yuanzhou didn’t retort. He also knew that there wasn’t enough time. He could only grit his teeth and say, “Jianing, you have to remember this day forever. When you follow Mr. Xian to the Seven Stars Continent, you have to think of a way to gain a foothold there. That way, our Feng family will have the right to challenge the Xie Corporation. At that time, we’ll also buy the hotel and let that Madam Xie and her bullsh*t friends take the employee passageway and the freight elevator.”
