The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

With the work problem resolved, Xu Nian felt much better.

He put on a hat and mask, changed into his work clothes, and after a brief training session, he officially started working.

Although he is busy with work, no one cares about his past or views him with prejudice.

Wang Bin treated him well, and after learning that he had injured his left arm, he never assigned him any heavy work.

And so, Xu Nian began a regular life from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the day, I follow the morning rush hour crowd, take the subway to work, and work diligently.

After get off work, I buy some fresh vegetables, go home, and cook a dish or two myself.

At night, a person falls asleep peacefully while holding their phone and watching short videos.

Today's short video platforms offer an extremely rich variety of content.

He also took this opportunity to get to know this unfamiliar society better.

The video that appeared most frequently on his homepage was the beauty he once protected with his life.

Breaking news! The chairman of Sinian Group publicly announced his relationship, leaving countless fans exclaiming: "The sky has fallen, I'm heartbroken!"

...

"Recently, Sinian Group has partnered with the Taoxian Municipal Government to build a new energy and environmental protection enterprise, which will provide jobs for tens of thousands of laid-off workers in the area and boost local GDP. Group Chairman Xu Xi personally visited the site to inspect the progress of the project."

"During the visit, Xu Xi and the mayor of Taoxian City had in-depth exchanges on core issues such as industrial synergy, technological innovation and green and low-carbon development, and clarified the subsequent promotion path and long-term plan of the project."

"This collaboration between the government and enterprises is not only a key move for Sinian Group in its strategic layout in the new energy field, but also a strong green impetus for the industrial upgrading of Taoxian City."

...

This kind of life is pretty good.

A month later, Xu Nian received her first paycheck, 4500 yuan.

He used half of the money to buy two bottles of fine wine and poured them in front of Zhang Feng's tombstone.

He learned how to shop online, and as the weather got cooler, he bought himself several new clothes on the Sinian Mall website.

Standing on the balcony, Xu Nian, dressed in new clothes, looked at the fluffy snowflakes outside the window and smiled with relief.

The past is long gone, and that poor little girl has now embarked on a brilliant and splendid life.

Now, all he can do is grow old in the biting cold wind.

If he had another chance, what would he choose?

Perhaps, the same mistakes will be repeated.

One day in December, he was busy at the hotel as usual.

"Xu Nian, the karaoke bar on the 27th has closed. Go and tidy up."

"OK."

"Xu Nian, room 235 requires room service."

"OK."

"Xu Nian, go upstairs to report for duty in a bit. From now on, you'll be serving floors 8 to 16. Starting next month, your salary will increase by 1000."

"Oh? Oh! Thank you, Brother Bin!"

Wang Bin looked Xu Nian up and down, becoming increasingly satisfied with him.

Initially, Xu Nian was taken in entirely out of respect for Xu Hu, to give his friend a meal.

After spending several months with him, he found that the man was efficient and had a very serious work attitude.

He decided to give Xu Nian a promotion opportunity.

"You know what you need to be careful about when working upstairs, right?"

"I know, they're all VIPs, we can't neglect them."

Xu Nian replied.

At the Yuntianlou Hotel, distinguished guests who have a high frequency of consumption or a certain social status will be arranged to receive services on the eighth floor or above.

The higher the floor, the more important the guest.

The 15th and 16th floors, in particular, are vacant year-round and are only opened to the most important guests.

Correspondingly, the waiters here earn more and have a high probability of receiving substantial tips.

"Okay, go ahead, don't let me down."

Wang Bin patted Xu Nian on the shoulder and watched him take the staff elevator upstairs.

The senior management service department is bustling with activity at this moment.

"Zihan, Chendong, go and urge the kitchen! Postpone the dishes for the other rooms, but absolutely do not delay the meal for the table on the top floor!"

"OK!"

"Xiao Ming, take this bottle of wine upstairs. Be careful not to make any mistakes!"

Don't worry!

"Hello, my name is Xu Nian. Brother Bin asked me to come and report to you."

Xu Nian walked up to the head of the senior service team, who was spinning like a top.

"You've come at the right time. Take this spicy chicken upstairs, and make sure to place it flat and hold it securely."

"Which private room is this?"

"Number 1688".

Xu Nian gasped.

There are only two private rooms on the 16th floor, number 1666 and number 1688.

Among them, room number 1688 is privately known as the number one room in the "heavenly" category.

This is the highest-level private room at the Yuntianlou Hotel.

No wonder the senior service department is so busy; it turns out they have a top-tier VIP guest.

"understood."

He carried the plate of spicy chicken on his shoulder and walked steadily toward the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Xu Nian's eyes gradually became hazy as she smelled the aroma of spicy chicken wafting from the side.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who always hovered around him, and one of her favorite dishes was spicy chicken.

But because his income was low, he could only buy a chicken once in a while to cook for that girl.

Now, she should be able to eat her favorite dishes every day.

As the elevator reached the 16th floor, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Xu Nian pulled herself out of her thoughts and walked towards room 1688.

According to etiquette, he needs to stand outside the private room and wait for all eight dishes to be prepared before eight waiters bring them into the room together to minimize the number of times the guests are disturbed.

There is a transparent porthole on the door of the private room.

Xu Nian looked through the porthole and her eyes widened in surprise.

The spicy chicken on his shoulder slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, shattering the exquisite porcelain plate into pieces.

It was her...
