Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 30 A Night Destined to Be Unromantic

Both the arson case and the economic dispute case require time to go through the procedures. Seeing Zhu Hongying frowning and sighing, Jin Yuanyuan could only comfort her and tell her aunts to eat something good and relax.

She's not thinking about those things anymore; she's focused on getting more orders as soon as possible to get the cash flow of Jin Yaya Socks Factory moving so she can pay next month's wages.

Zhao Zhuoran sent her a WeChat message asking if she had any thoughts on the bamboo fiber socks and if she wanted to chat again.

"A friend of mine is organizing an event for Christmas and the end of the year. You guys can come and join the fun, it's going to be a lot of fun."

"Your restaurant is too expensive, I can't afford it," Jin Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain.

"It's okay. This is a Hanfu fashion show, there will be a lot of people. You can come and help me as a waiter. The food is free."

Zhao Zhuoran added a playful smiley face, which prompted Jin Yuanyuan to send a "humph" in response.

"You can bring your friends too, it's all about having some fun at the end of the year." Zhao Zhuoran quickly added, "I've also invited a lot of friends from the 'Colorful World' group. You can meet up offline, chat more, and bring a few pairs of your own unique socks to distribute. They're Christmas stockings made by Santa Claus, so everyone can get gifts and remember you."

"Hmm." Although it was obvious that Zhao Zhuoran had gotten Jin Yuanyuan to sponsor the restaurant event, it made a lot of sense upon reflection. Everyone chatted in the group for a while, and many people enthusiastically offered suggestions. Meeting and talking in person was also very important.

Cao Xiaoyu wanted to come along, saying he didn't want to spend Christmas alone. Ye Huanxi was coming from Shanghai, saying her boyfriend was working overtime and couldn't spend the holiday with her. Lan Xiaohui also wanted to come, because she didn't have a boyfriend, only work... Anyway, they were all going to bring their own, and Jin Yuanyuan asked Zhao Zhuoran for four sets of work clothes.

"Thank you so much! I'll set up a separate table for you and serve you only one grouper for a hot pot!" Zhao Zhuoran sent five smiley faces, clearly genuinely pleased.

Jin Yuanyuan finally took off her light pink down jacket, and her mood improved considerably. Although it was snowing in Hangzhou, it didn't stop her from carefully applying her makeup.

Looking at such a beautiful face, I smiled more often.

These people initially complained a bit when they changed into the work uniforms of Zhao Zhuoran's Hangzhou Wanghuge Restaurant, but when they saw Zhao Zhuoran starting to cook hot pot soup bases and 82 Lafite for them in the kitchen, they immediately smiled and pulled Zhao Zhuoran aside, praising him for being young, promising, handsome, and rich.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are so snobbish." Jin Yuanyuan looked at him with disdain. "I'm rich too! I'm an only child from the Yangtze River Delta region, don't you understand?"

"Hey, I'm also an only child from the Yangtze River Delta region, okay?" Ye Huanxi was tall and slender, and she had a special kind of charm in this workwear, attracting everyone's attention. "Although I'm not as rich as Jin Yuanyuan, I still own a house and a car with no loans, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you're all amazing!" Lan Xiaohui pouted. "I'm from Anhui, I won't compare myself to you..."

"Okay! My belly, typical of people from the Yangtze River Delta region, can eat a lot!" Cao Xiaoyu patted his small belly, which was bulging out by his work clothes, and said with great pride.

The Hanfu event was a lively affair, attracting over a hundred people who packed Wanghu Pavilion to capacity. Dressed in ancient attire, both men and women exuded an exceptionally graceful Eastern charm, leaving Jin Yuanyuan mesmerized. She couldn't help but exclaim, "I want to wear one too! They're so beautiful!"

"I also want to wear an outfit like that, and stand majestically at the restaurant entrance like an ancient general..."

"Isn't that a stone lion?" Jin Yuanyuan, ever quick-witted as ever, responded to Zhao Zhuoran's imaginative remark, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Despite the snow falling outside, the restaurant was warm and cozy. There were many designers at the Hanfu fashion show, showcasing their creations and chatting about the process, which Jin Yuanyuan listened to with great interest. Of course, the socks she brought as gifts were especially special—five-toe socks! Anyway, there were still 90,000 pairs left in the warehouse…

Although the event didn't end until the early hours of the morning, everyone felt it was still too short and was in high spirits. After seeing off the last guest at the door, they looked at the long road leading to West Lake, which was covered with a thin layer of snow. Under the streetlights, the snow was crystal clear and full of a unique beauty.

"West Lake is at its most beautiful at this time of year. Perhaps the ancients also witnessed such a beautiful scene," Lan Xiaohui exclaimed. "A lifetime of devotion to one person, that couple really knew how to choose a place..."

Following her gaze, everyone saw a couple passionately kissing under the dim yellow streetlights by the lake. It was a truly romantic scene, perfectly complementing the pristine white snow.

However, Jin Yuanyuan suddenly felt that the man in the couple looked very familiar. She didn't dare to say anything and glanced at Ye Huanxi. Ye Huanxi was staring intently at the couple when she suddenly walked over.

"Hey..." Cao Xiaoyu reacted quite quickly, but Jin Yuanyuan stopped him, "Wait a minute."

"What's going on?" Lan Xiaohui asked.

Ye Huanxi quickened her pace, and when she reached them, she yanked the woman away and slapped the man across the face. The sound was extremely crisp and clear, and it was even louder in the deep night by the lake.

"You!" the man roared, but froze when he saw that it was Ye Huanxi.

The woman reacted and tried to pull Ye Huanxi away. Jin Yuanyuan, afraid that Ye Huanxi would be taken advantage of, quickly followed and tried to pull the woman away as well.

Cao Xiaoyu and Lan Xiaohui naturally wanted to help Jin Yuanyuan, so they ran over as well.

Ye Huanxi was glaring angrily at the man, yelling, "Liu Zheng, weren't you working overtime? You've worked overtime all the way to West Lake, haven't you? You've even gotten intimate with a client during a heart-to-heart talk, haven't you? You really love your job!"

This man's name is Liu Zheng, and he is Ye Huanxi's boyfriend.

He probably hadn't expected to run into Ye Huanxi so coincidentally. He covered his face, stunned for a moment, before suddenly shoving her and yelling, "What's wrong? We kissed, so what!"

"Hey, you think you're right?" Jin Yuanyuan couldn't stand it anymore and helped Ye Huanxi up when she almost fell. "How could you treat Huanxi like this? She's your girlfriend!"

"So what if I have a girlfriend? I have plenty of girlfriends!" Liu Zheng raised his hand again, as if to hit Ye Huanxi. "What right do you have to hit me?!"

"What do you want to do?" Jin Yuanyuan saw that Ye Huanxi was stubbornly refusing to move, and she couldn't let her suffer this loss. She immediately stepped in front of her, ready to defend herself. Just as Liu Zheng was about to strike, Zhao Zhuoran ran straight over and shoved Liu Zheng aside. Liu Zheng slipped on the thin layer of snow on the ground and fell flat on his backside.
