My Super Beautiful Lady Boss

"Isn’t this just messing around? I’m so broke I can barely feed myself. That girl must be blind to fall for me!"

Dong Jianwen curled his lip and said speechlessly.

"Heh, other people don’t know whether you’re rich or not. As the saying goes, life is a play, all about acting. Don’t you know in our Huaxia there’s a word called ’pretend’? The top is the ’courage’ character, the bottom is ’clothes’. What does that mean? It means if you put on good clothes, you just say you’re a rich second generation!"

Su Xuan said with a wicked grin.

"This... isn’t this lying? I’d feel guilty!"

Dong Jianwen was still a very honest person. No wonder his buddy was dressed so flashy today—turns out it was all to help him put on a show. Thinking about it, he really felt a bit embarrassed.

"Come on, bro, think about it. If those real rich spoiled rich kids nowadays, would they even need blind dates? The girls aren’t stupid!"

As Su Xuan spoke, he dragged Dong Jianwen over to that seven‑million‑plus Lamborghini. The moment Dong Jianwen saw the luxury car, he swallowed hard and quickly said,

"Isn’t this pretending a bit too much? This car is crazy expensive. What if we crash it? Su Xuan, let me tell you, even if you’re a contractor, you still have to keep a low profile. This isn’t right."

Dong Jianwen actually started lecturing him earnestly. In his mind, this car must have been rented by Su Xuan just for show, but wasn’t that price a bit too steep? This thing was not cheap at all. Back when they ran the logistics company, they had of course studied car brands—if you bumped into one of these, even selling yourself wouldn’t cover the damages!

"Uh... this one is mine."

Su Xuan said weakly.

"Hahaha... you really can fake it. How much can a contractor even make? Fine, I’ll go have some fun with you today then!"

Seeing how much thought Su Xuan had put into this, Dong Jianwen was quite touched. Since his brother was being this earnest, it’d really be hard to justify not going.

Su Xuan took Dong Jianwen to a clothing store to buy an outfit. Su Xuan originally wanted to buy something nicer, but Dong Jianwen insisted there was no need to go that high-end, so Su Xuan didn’t push it. In the end, Dong Jianwen just bought a suit from one of those small shops by the food market, and then the two headed for the hotel.

The hotel was booked at Imperial Chef Restaurant. After the unpleasant incident last time, things were later resolved. Since they were going to work together anyway, Su Xuan felt there was no need to keep holding a grudge.

"By the way, back in the army, didn’t you have a girlfriend? Wasn’t it Chen Xiuhong?"

Su Xuan remembered that when they had just become recruits, Dong Jianwen would often take out a photo, saying that was his wife.

"Ahem... no, that was a girl from our village, named Tang Qi’er. But later, when I left the army, we broke up. No money, man. Su Xuan, in times like these, being broke is really suffocating!"

"Heh, not all women are like that. Besides, it’s not like you’ll be poor forever. I asked around today, and President Wang said you have real talent in construction. Kid, work hard. After a while I’ll have President Wang give you a project to run. Then you’ll at least be a contractor in your own right!"

Today Su Xuan had specifically asked Wang Chuanjiang, and Wang told him that this Dong Jianwen was actually a very talented guy with good people skills, someone who could be entrusted with important responsibilities!

"Bro, don’t joke about that with me."

In Dong Jianwen’s mind, Wang Chuanjiang was a director-level boss. Why would he listen to a contractor?

Su Xuan just smiled faintly and didn’t say more. Soon, when they arrived at Imperial Chef Restaurant, Su Xuan pulled off a smooth drift and drove the car into the garage. The two doormen came over respectfully to greet them. Su Xuan coming here today actually alarmed the entire hotel. After all, the lesson from last time had made many people realize that this world really wasn’t an era where you judged people just by their clothes.

After that incident, Lin Feng was immediately fired by Tang Zhenwei, and his wife was also removed from her position on the board. The one people envied the most was still Zhang Xinyi, the front desk receptionist who had approached Su Xuan that day.

Zhang Xinyi was absolutely a winner in life. She had originally just been a receptionist, but because of one sentence from Su Xuan, she had now become the hotel’s acting manager. Even though it was only acting, everyone knew her future would far surpass that title, because she was someone personally appointed by Su Xuan, the major shareholder.

You should know that even Tang Zhenwei was very grateful to her, because if it hadn’t been for her that day, the cooperation between him and Su Xuan would have completely fallen apart, and his lifelong dream would have shattered. So he was extremely thankful to Zhang Xinyi.

At this moment, Zhang Xinyi was in the lobby assigning work. When she saw Su Xuan walk in, she flashed him a very sweet smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Su!"

Deep down, Zhang Xinyi was very grateful for Mr. Su’s appreciation. She had always liked the hotel industry and hoped that by relying on her own hard work she could earn recognition from her leaders. But the previous manager Lin Feng only liked to exchange flirty looks with and flirt around with those waitresses who played along. He never really took a girl like Zhang Xinyi seriously.

Even so, Zhang Xinyi was actually a very optimistic girl, always diligent and conscientious, serving customers patiently. She’d never expected that when Su Xuan came to eat that day, just by doing what she was supposed to do, she would end up with such a good outcome. It was something she could hardly even imagine.

When Su Xuan said he wanted her to be manager, in that instant she almost didn’t even know what was going on!

"Mm! Are you getting used to it?"

Su Xuan’s impression of Zhang Xinyi was very good. At first he had thought she knew his identity and was treating him specially, but later he realized she actually had no idea who he was. Under those circumstances, she could still treat everyone so fairly—that was exactly the attitude a hotel should have.

"I’m getting used to it. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Su!"

By then, Zhang Xinyi had already seated Su Xuan and Dong Jianwen at a table by the window. It was the best spot on the first floor. Su Xuan had originally planned to book a private room, but after thinking about it, two grown men in a private room seemed a bit off. If the other party was a girl, she might think he was up to something shady!

"Mr. Su, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Zhang Xinyi went off to arrange for someone to take their order.

"Mm, no rush. I still have someone who hasn’t arrived yet. When they get here, I’ll let you know! For now, just bring us some juice."
