The Nanting No.1 Hotel.
That was one of the landmarks of Flower City. The hotel had an outer appearance that looked like a staircase that reached for the sky and had Nanshi Corporation’s logo shining at its side. A tower that tall can be seen from miles away.
That was the only seven-star hotel in Flower City and was the place where Nanshi Corporation served important customers.
The hotel had three entrances – one on the Southern side, one on the Eastern side, and one on the Northern side. The entrance on the North was usually shut, and would only be opened for VIPs.
The security was air-tight there and everyone was inspected before they were allowed into the hotel.
Even Ning Ran, who was vouched by the renowned Sir Chen, needed to register with her identity card.
However, Ning Ran was already traumatized, and the thought of using her identity card was frightening for her.
She stalled for as long as she could as she deliberated about whether or not she wanted to stay there.
Will I be recognized?
“Please show us your identity card so that we can register you into our system,” reminded the beautiful receptionist.
The receptionist dared not be rude or slow because Ning Ran was someone that Nan Chen had brought over so the receptionist remained standing while talking to Ning Ran.
“Can I skip that part?” asked Ning Ran.
“I’m sorry, but that is not possible. We are responsible for our customer’s safety so we have to insist that every customer registers with us,” said the receptionist with a big smile, “In fact, we have a number of politicians staying right now so we can’t allow unauthorized individuals to stay here.”
“Then forget it, I’m not staying here,” said Ning Ran who turned around to leave after hearing that she must register.
Ning Ran was in such a hurry that she almost bumped into the annoyed Nan Chen whose face was practically dripping with irritation. “What?” asked Nan Chen.
“Sir Chen, the lady refuses to show us her identity card,” replied the terrified receptionist.
It was Ning Ran’s fault, but the receptionist was still worried that it would affect her.
“What is up with you?” asked Nan Chen as he glared at Ning Ran with distaste in his eyes.
“I… I’m not staying here.”
“Take it out,” ordered Nan Chen cruelly.
“What?”
“Your identity card,” said Nan Chen coolly.
Ning Ran refused to obey him. I’m not staying here anymore. Why should I hand my identity card over?
Someone interrupted with a report at that instance and said, “Sir Chen, the director’s car will be arriving in 15 minutes. Will you be greeting him at the entrance?”
“Yes,” replied Nan Chen.
“Hurry!” said the furious Nan Chen.
Ning Ran understood then that there was an important customer heading over, and Nan Chen was needed at the entrance.
If she disrupted Nan Chen’s work, the consequences would be dire.
Ning Ran had no choice but to fish out her identity card and was about to hand it over when she retracted all of a sudden and asked, “No one will recognize me, right?”
“Hmph, who do you think you are?” sneered Nan Chen.
Ning Ran tightened her lips then rolled her eyes at Nan Chen.
That spoiled attitude with just a hint of shamelessness was supposed to be vexing, but that woman was able to carry it out in an alluring manner.
Add that to the sweet orange blossom scent that was exuding on and off of her, and Nan Chen suddenly felt like he was being flirted at.
After registering, someone personally brought Ning Ran to her room.
Ning Ran almost shouted aloud when she stepped in.
That hotel room was extremely different from the one she has stayed in earlier.
The most obvious difference was that the size of the room was at least three times bigger!
