Seven-thirty at night, Triumph Grand Hotel.
Triumph Grand Hotel was a five-star luxury hotel, one of the landmarks of Qingshui City. It was located in the busiest area of the city center, just across the street from Qingshui City's pedestrian street.
At this time, the sky was completely dark. The sky above Qingshui City was covered in dark clouds. Lightning struck one after another, tearing through the pitch-black night sky. It complemented the lights of the tens of thousands of homes below, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder.
The air in Qingshui City was no longer stuffy. Instead, it was moist and cool. Once the wind blew, a storm would come.
Triumph Grand Hotel, fifth floor, magnificent banquet hall.
Compared to the gloomy weather outside, the banquet hall on the fifth floor of Triumph Grand Hotel was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The luxurious banquet hall was brightly lit, illuminating the entire living room as if it was daytime. Thirty-six round tables were already filled with guests. Under the illumination of the lights, the golden cutlery on the tables reflected a glistening yellow light, filling the entire banquet hall with a luxurious and extravagant atmosphere.
There were no empty seats, and the place was bustling with noise.
The celebration banquet for Li Tian, the nephew of the Jiangnan Provincial Department of Education's Director, couldn't be described with just the words "high-end, grand, and classy".
Now, there were more than 300 people in the banquet hall, but the guests who came to congratulate were still like a tide, endless. As soon as the elevator on the fifth floor opened, more than a dozen people would come out of the elevator and be led to the entrance of the banquet hall by the six beautiful receptionists who were guarding the elevator door to congratulate the top scorer of the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province and offer their red envelopes with both hands.
Of course, most of the guests didn't even know who Li Tian was. Congratulating him was actually just a matter of saying a few words. The main thing was to present their red packets.
There were four tables at the entrance of the banquet hall. Two people sat behind each table. One was in charge of opening the red packets and counting the money, while the other was in charge of bookkeeping. It had been more than two hours since 5: 30 pm. The eight of them didn't even have a chance to rest.
They were serious and solemn. They were even more serious than the cashiers and accountants in the bank!
They had been repeating the same thing, opening the red packets and counting the money!
Many reputable guests came and did not even take red envelopes. Instead, they directly took bundles of red hundred-dollar bills. There were bundles of one or two bundles, and there were even bundles of ten or eight bundles!
If it wasn't for the cash counting machine on every table, the eight of them would have been too busy!
Only God knew how much money Li Jiujiang's "College Entrance Examination Champion Celebration Banquet" could earn.
The nephew of the director of the Jiangnan Provincial Education Department had won the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province with a score of only one point short of a perfect score. This itself was a grand event in the education circle of Jiangnan Province. It had even been rendered into a popular story in various media in Jiangnan Province.
"College Entrance Examination Champion" Student Li Tian was accompanied by the head of Qingshui Ninth High, Principal Shi Debiao. They sat at the entrance of the banquet hall, welcoming wave after wave of guests.
That's right, Li Tian was sitting there to welcome the guests!
He was wearing a white branded shirt, a high-end tie, well-ironed trousers, and a pair of polished black leather shoes. He leaned comfortably against the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and smoked a Nine-Five Supreme cigarette that had long been out of sight on the market. He squinted his eyes and glanced disdainfully at the people who came to congratulate him and give him red packets. He had the image of a rich, rich, and handsome man.
If an ordinary person came in front of him, he wouldn't even look at them. At most, he would curl the corner of his mouth, snort twice, and wave his hand to dismiss them.
Headmaster Shi Debiao already knew what kind of person his "Zhuangyuan" student was. He was too lazy to care about it, and he didn't dare to care about it at all. He just bowed and waited on Li Tian, fearing that if he didn't serve Li Tian well enough, the living ancestor beside him would get angry at him.
On the right side of Li Tian's seat, there was a person standing there quietly. She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was a beauty that could bring calamity to the world.
If Ling Yun was present, he would have recognized this beautiful girl immediately. She was the poor female student he had saved from Li Tian when he went to Qingshui Fifth High's examination venue, Chi Xiaoqing!
Chi Xiaoqing's face was beautiful beyond compare, and her figure was graceful and exquisite. She wore a luxurious purple dress. She was beautiful, but she just stood there quietly, her face expressionless. Her beautiful eyes were dim and lifeless, staring at everything in front of her, as if she had lost her soul.
Chi Xiaoqing was the most beautiful scenery in itself, but all the prosperity in front of her did not cause the slightest ripple in her heart. It was as if she had nothing to do with what was happening in front of her, as if she was in another world.
This was numbness, a complete numbness. It was the kind of numbness that came from fighting hard but ultimately losing to reality and fate.
"Principal Shi, congratulations, congratulations. Your school has produced the top scholar of our Jiangnan Province, and he happens to be the nephew of Director Li. This is really a double blessing. Just wait for your promotion!"
"Yes, yes, this time, Principal Shi is really in the limelight for the college entrance examination. Sigh, why didn't such good things fall on our heads?"
Two guests of the same rank as Shi Debiao were praising Shi Debiao enviously.
"Not at all. Although I am Li Tian's principal, Li Tian's good results are all because of Mayor Li and our Director Li's guidance. Li Tian is also talented and diligent …"
"Hehe, I'm the one who benefited from the student …"
Shi Debiao said modestly and politely, but his radiant face and proud expression betrayed him.
"Please come in, the banquet is about to begin …"
Shi Debiao greeted the two of them politely and invited them into the banquet hall.
Another wave of guests went in. Li Tian pouted and looked at the time impatiently. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "What time is it? Isn't the host already here? Why isn't the banquet starting yet?"
When Shi Debiao heard Li Tian's impatient words, he immediately apologized and bent over with a smile on his face. "Li Tian, don't be anxious. It's going to be eight in ten minutes. The banquet is about to begin …"
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to get the waiter to get you something to eat first?"
If someone who didn't know better saw this scene, they would definitely not think that Shi Debiao was Li Tian's principal. Instead, they would think that Li Tian was Shi Debiao's biological father!
Even if Shi Debiao served his biological father, he wouldn't be so attentive and careful!
This celebratory banquet was organized under Li Jiujiang's instructions. Shi Debiao used his own little treasury in Qingshui Ninth High to celebrate Li Tian's achievements and to show off his own merits!
Of course, Shi Debiao also benefited greatly from sucking up to the leader. Li Jiujiang had already arranged for him to be the Deputy Director of Qingshui City's Education Bureau.
Young Master Li Tian didn't appreciate Shi Debiao's flattery at all. He glanced at Shi Debiao as though he was looking at an idiot, then turned to look at Chi Xiaoqing behind him. His eyes were filled with greed and possessiveness.
"Are you stupid? Why would I be hungry? I just want to finish this as soon as possible. I want to consummate my marriage with her tonight!"
Because of Chi Xiaoqing, Li Tian had already been beaten up by Ling Yun and Tang Meng. Now that he had finally gotten his hands on her, he couldn't wait any longer.
Li Tian's father was the Deputy Mayor of Hudong City. He held a high position and his uncle was the Director of Jiangnan Province's Education Bureau. He had experienced events like this countless times since he was young. His family was rich, so he didn't take it seriously at all. It was very annoying!
The red packets he received tonight amounted to at least ten million yuan. However, in Li Tian's eyes, ten million yuan was far from being able to spend the night with Chi Xiaoqing and take her virginity!
Young Master Li Tian's angry scolding alarmed the surrounding people. They all looked over, which made Shi Debiao feel as though there was a knife on his back. The smile on his face became awkward. He cursed viciously in his heart, but he still grinned and said, "Yes, yes, yes, on our wedding night, during the golden roll!"
"Both of you are my students. One is the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and the other is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Our school took the first and second place in Jiangnan Province. The two of you together will definitely be a match made between a talented man and a beautiful woman …"
Shi Debiao's conscience had long been fed to the dogs. His flattery was in full swing, but he still didn't forget to brag about his' contributions'.
Hearing Shi Debiao's words, Chi Xiaoqing finally reacted. Her cold and empty eyes stared at Shi Debiao with intense disdain. She was already disgusted to the point of vomiting!
Li Tian noticed Chi Xiaoqing's expression. He laughed coldly. Chi Xiaoqing, Chi Xiaoqing, aren't you a fierce horse? No matter how fierce you are, I still managed to subdue you. If you're not a fierce horse, I don't want you. See how I deal with you tonight!
"Chi Xiaoqing, I say, tonight is our wedding night. Can you stop poking at me like a zombie?"
"Do you still want to save your mother? Do you still want to treat your sister? Do you still want to fill in your college application? "
He asked three questions in a row, revealing Li Tian's trump card!
Chi Xiaoqing's delicate body trembled. Her beautiful eyes instantly overflowed with tears of humiliation and indignation. However, she clenched her teeth and didn't cry out!
Her family's lives and her future were all in Li Tian's hands. She had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
Li Tian looked coldly at the pained Chi Xiaoqing and sneered. "For you, I got beaten up. I haven't even settled this debt with you, and now you're crying first?"
"You were lucky last time. Let's see who can save you this time! Cry once, laugh once. Do what you want. I don't care! "
Li Tian said wantonly. His voice wasn't soft. Everyone around heard him, but they all kept quiet out of fear. No one dared to say a word.
Five minutes before eight o 'clock, there were finally no more people at the elevator. Obviously, most of the guests who received the invitation had arrived. Naturally, the people below wouldn't be late for no reason at all.
"Um … Li Tian, all the guests should be here. The host is already on stage. What do you think …"
Seeing that it was almost time, Shi Debiao respectfully invited Li Tian into the banquet hall.
"I've been waiting for a long time. Let's go in!"
Li Tian muttered as he stood up. He raised his hand and grabbed Chi Xiaoqing's chest. She was so frightened that she instinctively dodged.
At this moment, the elevator door opened!
"F * ck … A peerless beauty!"
Li Tian turned around and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. He cried out in surprise! (To be continued.)
