Chapter 247: Waiting for Her Embarrassment
Chapter 247: Waiting for Her Embarrassment
Zhou Chenghe and Jiang Xia arrived at the City Welcome Hotel.
The Guangzhou Trade Fair Training Conference was being held at the City Welcome Hotel.
The hotel was newly built for the purpose of attracting investment and accommodating foreign guests and leaders from various organizations.
Consequently, it was well-equipped with all necessary facilities.
The building that Zhang Rong had previously asked them to invest in was also constructed for the purpose of attracting investment, serving as a landmark.
Zhou Chenglei helped Jiang Xia off the motorcycle, carefully removing her helmet and straightening the strands of hair that were pressed and marked by it.
"Is it messy?" Jiang Xia also reached up to fix his hair, but there wasn't much to do as his hair was short.
"No, it's just a bit flattened. I'll loosen it for you."
Jiang Xia allowed him to fix her hair, and she took off the blue knitted cardigan she was wearing to avoid getting hot later.
This little jacket was something Zhou Chenglei had found in the closet and put on her before they left, worried that she might get cold due to the strong wind and the early morning chill while riding the motorcycle.
At that moment, Wen Wan also rushed over. She had let Zhou Guohua go home by himself after handling his discharge from the hospital yesterday, and she had immediately returned to school and stayed there overnight. Then, she had walked over from school early this morning.
The school was a bit far away, and the autumn morning was cool, so she had worked up a sweat, and the bangs on her forehead were damp.
She looked disheveled as she watched Jiang Xia being helped off the motorcycle by Zhou Chenglei, who was fixing her hair.
Unconsciously, she compared the two men in her mind.
Although Zhou Guohua claimed to love her, he couldn't compare to Zhou Chenglei's gentleness, tenderness, and thoughtful care for Jiang Xia.
He truly couldn't measure up!
Zhou Guohua couldn't compete with Zhou Chenglei in any aspect!
Wen Wan observed Jiang Xia's all-white top and light blue floral skirt, which looked somewhat formal but also had a touch of sweetness due to the style of the top, making it suitable for a girl in her early twenties.
Jiang Xia's outfit exuded not only softness and charm but also a hint of freshness and elegance, making her stand out.
Wen Wan glanced at her newly bought clothes—a white shirt, a red plaid skirt, and a belted waist, with the skirt length reaching just above her ankles. This outfit made her appear tall and slender.
Moreover, the red color was more eye-catching than the light blue, but Jiang Xia's clothing material was of such high quality that it glowed in the morning sunlight, making Wen Wan's white shirt look dull and cheap in comparison.
She had spent sixty or seventy yuan on this outfit at the mall!
Looking down at her own shoes, she noticed that her black leather shoes had gathered a layer of dust during the walk, making them appear even cheaper compared to Jiang Xia's pristine white lambskin loafers.
Wen Wan pursed her lips. Dressing up like this, one might think she was here for a beauty pageant!
How much did her outfit cost? It must have been at least one or two hundred yuan!
With so much money, why would she come to work as a translator?
She should have left the opportunity for those who genuinely needed to earn money!
Wen Wan didn't immediately approach them but instead turned and squatted in a corner to clean her shoes.
After fixing Jiang Xia's hair, Zhou Chenglei said, "I'm going to the publishing house. I'll wait for you in the lobby here when I return. If the meeting ends and I haven't come back yet, wait for me in the lobby, and don't wander around, okay?"
"I understand. Be careful on the road."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Jiang Xia nodded and headed towards the hotel entrance.
As soon as Jiang Xia stepped onto the stairs, a hotel staff member promptly approached with a smile and politely asked if she was attending the Guangzhou Trade Fair Training Conference.
Jiang Xia smiled and nodded, "Yes, where is the conference room?"
The staff member personally led her inside without even remembering to ask for her work permit or invitation letter.
Wen Wan cleaned her shoes and watched as Jiang Xia entered the hotel. Then, she made her way inside and deliberately approached Zhou Chenglei, speaking softly, "Brother Zhou, did you bring Sister Jiang Xia here for the conference?"
Thank you for saving me last time. I haven't formally thanked you yet."
After seeing Jiang Xia enter, Zhou Chenglei lowered his head to straighten out Jiang Xia's discarded jacket and helmet. Hearing her words, he didn't even glance at her, remaining unresponsive. After putting away the clothes, he expressionlessly started his motorcycle and left.
Wen Wan bit her lower lip. Did Jiang Xia speak ill of her?
Otherwise, Zhou Chenglei wouldn't have ignored her like this before!
Feeling embarrassed, Wen Wan lifted her foot and began walking towards the entrance of the Welcome Hotel.
Another staff member stopped her with a smile, "May I ask what brings you here, comrade?"
"I'm here to attend the Guangzhou Trade Fair training," Wen Wan replied.
The staff member smiled and said, "Please show your work permit and invitation letter, comrade."
Feeling discriminated against again, Wen Wan became uncomfortable. "Why didn't the female comrade who just entered need to show her work permit and invitation letter, but I do?"
The questioned staff member's smile disappeared, and they responded without expression, "I know the female comrade who just entered. She's a colleague of mine, and I know she's here for the Guangzhou Trade Fair."
Wen Wan pursed her lips. See!
Jiang Xia always had it easier than others.
It's all because of her good fortune, having a well-connected father!
Everything is arranged for her!
Wen Wan didn't say anything further. She took out the temporary translator work permit and invitation letter given to her by the textile factory and showed them to the staff member.
After checking the documents, the staff member informed her of the location of the meeting room but didn't offer to escort her there, as someone needed to remain at the entrance to greet guests.
Wen Wan pursed her lips again, not bothering to argue. She walked briskly towards the meeting room.
When it came to Jiang Xia, Wen Wan had experienced unfair treatment multiple times, and she didn't care anymore.
The staff member who had escorted Jiang Xia happened to come out and smiled, asking Wen Wan if she was heading to the meeting room. Then, they personally escorted her there.
Jiang Xia wanted to make a quick trip to the restroom first. After clarifying the locations of the restroom and meeting room with the staff member, she headed to the restroom on her own, without needing an escort.
Due to this timing, both Wen Wan and Jiang Xia arrived outside the meeting room together.
The meeting room was spacious, accommodating over a hundred people.
It was still early, and many representatives from various factories hadn't arrived yet, making the room seem empty.
Jiang Xia noticed that the nameplates on the tables mentioned companies like 'XXX Machinery Factory', 'XXX Agricultural Machinery Factory', 'XXX Aquatic Products Factory', and 'XXX Textile Factory'.
Only representatives from these four factories had arrived; the others were yet to come.
Jiang Xia only recognized the people from the textile factory, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she had a working relationship with the textile factory. She walked over to greet them.
At that moment, someone from the textile factory waved at Wen Wan, "Little Wan, over here! We saved you a seat."
Jiang Xia recognized the person; she was the one who had been in the office with Factory Manager Peng Yuhua the other day.
Wen Wan smiled and quickly walked past Jiang Xia, approaching the textile factory group. She greeted Factory Manager Peng first, "Good morning, Factory Manager Peng."
Then, she smiled and nodded at the others.
Peng Yuhua's assistant invited her, "Little Wan, please take a seat!"
Wen Wan smiled and sat down in the last available spot among the textile factory group. Then, she watched as Jiang Xia approached with a graceful stride.
There were no more seats available on the textile factory's side.
Wen Wan sat down and observed where Jiang Xia would sit.
Each factory only had a fixed number of seats.
She believed that the other factories would be the same and wouldn't prepare a seat for a part-time translator.
At this moment, Jiang Xia also walked over and smiled, "Good morning, Factory Manager Peng! Good morning, everyone!"
Wen Wan smiled and scrutinized Jiang Xia, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
