Chapter 550
C550 – An Invitation from Ann Chuxia
Upon hearing the invitation, Su Ming paused briefly before checking the time.
To his surprise, it was already noon.
With no pressing matters at hand, he decided to accept the offer.
“Alright, where is it? I’ll head over now.”
“We’ve arranged it at the Dragon Lake Hotel, in a private room on the fourth floor. Once you’re there, just tell the waiter you’re a friend of Miss Ann, and they’ll escort you up. Where are you currently? I can arrange transportation immediately…”
“No need for that, I’ll drive myself.”
“Very well, Mr. Su. We’ll see you shortly!”
“Sounds good!”
After ending the call, Su Ming prepared to leave.
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit, you can stay here on your own…”
Initially, Su Ming intended to leave Xiaoqing at home, but then it occurred to him that Xiaoqing appeared just like anyone else now; no one would be able to tell the difference. Perhaps it would be better to bring Xiaoqing along?
The person he was meeting was a prominent celebrity with an agent.
Maybe Xiaoqing could act as his agent for the day?
Of course, Su Ming was merely entertaining the thought.
He simply wanted to introduce Xiaoqing to more people.
“Xiaoqing, are you able to eat?”
Su Ming inquired.
“Yes, Brother, Xiaoqing can consume food. It converts to my energy source,” Xiaoqing responded.
”Great, then come with me.”
Su Ming nodded, led Xiaoqing to the garage, selected a car, and they set off for the hotel.
Eastsea City’s outskirts boasted the expansive Dragon Lake, nestled among picturesque mountain ranges.
Despite being on the city’s fringe, the area buzzed with activity comparable to the city center, thanks to its renown as a major tourist destination.
Adjacent to Dragon Lake stood a vast hotel, modest in height with only five floors but sprawling in its footprint, housing numerous structures akin to a large campus.
This was the Dragon Lake Hotel.
As a pinnacle of five-star luxury, the Dragon Lake Hotel’s amenities and services were unparalleled.
Many celebrities and business magnates visiting Eastsea for performances or work would invariably choose to stay at this hotel.
Owing to its location, the hotel bustled with tourists by day yet offered a serene retreat by night. The transient and diverse clientele ensured a degree of anonymity, making it an ideal spot for those seeking privacy.
Ann Chuxia was busy setting up in a presidential suite on the fourth floor.
“Brother Liu, Mr. Su should be arriving soon. Please go down and personally welcome him.”
“Also, I rode in his car last night. It’s quite valuable, so he must be a wealthy and influential individual. Make sure to treat him with the proper respect.”
“Additionally, have the kitchen ready for both Western and Chinese cuisine. They should start cooking immediately after the order is placed.”
As Ann Chuxia gave her instructions, she pondered whether she had forgotten anything.
Once she finished, her manager, Liu Dashan, descended to the lobby to greet the guest.
Alone in the presidential suite, Ann Chuxia’s thoughts drifted to the previous night’s events, which still left her shaken and had kept her from sleeping well.
Having started her career as a child star, Ann Chuxia had never encountered a peer who spoke to her with the same casualness as Su Ming. He treated her like an ordinary friend, completely disregarding her celebrity status. While this might be commonplace for most, it was something Ann Chuxia had always longed for.
Glancing at the clock, she guessed that Su Ming would soon arrive, stirring a small sense of excitement within her.
Meanwhile, Su Ming had already reached the hotel with Little Qing.
Liu Dashan stood at the hotel entrance, scanning the crowd. He had never seen Su Ming before and only had Ann Chuxia’s vague description to go by—a young, somewhat handsome man, dressed simply and with an approachable demeanor.
Truth be told, Ann Chuxia’s description was incredibly vague. Any well-groomed young man on the street could fit the bill, dressed plainly and exuding a friendly vibe.
How on earth was he supposed to find him?
Nevertheless, Liu Dashan couldn’t afford to take this lightly; he had to handle the situation with care, as per Ann Chuxia’s instructions.
Just then, Liu Dashan’s eyes brightened as he spotted a sports car speeding towards the hotel.
“Holy smokes! Is that a Hennessy Venom GT?!”
He was astounded: “Eastsea really is a place of hidden talents. The Hennessy Venom GT is a globally limited edition, with each car costing over a hundred million. Many affluent celebrities can’t lay their hands on one, yet someone in Eastsea can actually afford it?”
As Liu Dashan marveled, the car door swung open, and Su Ming, along with Little Qing, stepped out.
Hmm?
Liu Dashan’s eyes brightened. The young man was strikingly handsome, dressed simply, exuding a casual and approachable vibe.
Could this be the Su Ming that Ann Chuxia was eagerly awaiting?
Without a moment’s delay, Liu Dashan approached.
Even if he was mistaken, a brief embarrassment could be quickly resolved with an apology.
But if this man was indeed Su Ming, missing the opportunity would be unforgivable.
“Excuse me, sir, might you be Mr. Su?”
Liu Dashan’s demeanor had softened considerably, his tone shifting to one of great respect. After all, anyone who could afford a Hennessy Venom GT was no ordinary individual.
He had to be someone with a significant background, perhaps the scion of a powerful family or a political heavyweight!
“Yes, I am. And you are?”
Su Ming paused, looking puzzled.
“Good day, Mr. Su. I’m the person who called you earlier, Miss Ann’s agent, Liu Dashan.”
Liu Dashan introduced himself with due reverence.
Initially, Liu assumed Su Ming was just the offspring of some local Eastsea tycoon—wealthy, sure, but no match for Ann Chuxia. Having encountered numerous celebrities, Liu hadn’t initially given Su Ming much thought.
But now, his previous assumptions had vanished.
So what if he dressed plainly?
This was the epitome of understatement, a hallmark of the truly affluent and capable.
“Ah, Mr. Liu, it’s quite a scorcher today. My apologies for making you wait,” Su Ming said, his smile warm.
”Mr. Su, you jest. As Miss Ann’s lifesaver, it’s only right that I wait. Mr. Su, Miss Ann is upstairs awaiting your arrival. Please, this way.”
Liu Dashan beamed as he led the way. “Mr. Su, Miss Ann had intended to welcome you herself, but as you understand, she has her own challenges. Being a public figure, her presence could easily stir up a frenzy.”
“No problem, I understand.”
Su Ming was unfazed as he followed Liu Dashan into the hotel and took the elevator up to the fourth floor.
Leading the way, Liu Dashan rounded a corner and they arrived at the end of the hallway. He then pushed open the door to reveal an extremely luxurious presidential suite before Su Ming.
