Chap 5- Collision With A Ferrari

The three room supervisors arrived in just a few minutes, accompanied by the room manager.

Song Lei took the lead in complaining, “Manager Chen, look at who you’ve hired, I was kind to help her, and yet was poured over by a bucket of water.”

“Look at the situation now, this set will cost me 30,000 yuan!”

He was furious, “It was your CEO Mr. Yang, who invited me to write in the monthly magazine for the hotel. And this is your way of hospitality?”

 
“Very well, I will go back and write a good article in the monthly magazine!”

As soon as these words came out, several supervisors became anxious, and even Manager Chen appeared to be in an awkward position.

There is no other reason but that “Global Travel” includes high-end hotels all over the world. Being able to be included in the magazine is a recognition and a supreme honor for the hotel itself.

If Song Lei added a few sentences, the reputation of the hotel would be greatly affected.

She bowed down to apologize to Song Lei, “Sorry, Mr. Song, it’s our fault, I…”

“Manager.”

A soft female voice interrupted her, Lin Zhinan’s already calm emotions once again surged up because of Song Lei’s few words.

But she endured desperately.

She lost her best chance to make a complaint due to losing control of her senses, and she will never repeat the same mistakes again.

Zhinan at that time, still had a heart of innocence, thinking that there was no way the truth would be hidden in the darkness.

Thus, she pointed to the top of her head diagonally, “The hotel has surveillance. He just grabbed my butt with his hand. It should have all been videoed at this angle.”

As soon as her voice fell, Song Lei’s face changed drastically, pointing to Lin Zhinan’s nose and yelling, “Aren’t you f*cking shameless? Who the f*ck wants to touch you, I wouldn’t want types like you even if you’re given to me for free!”

He is completely a dog in desperation jumping over the wall, “Manager Chen, where did you find such dubious staff? From the looks of it, you’re planning to extort me?”

“I didn’t lie!” Lin Zhinan trembled, “If you don’t believe it, look at the surveillance, then–“

“Lin Zhinan!”

Manager Chen interrupted with a tone of severity.

Zhi Nan forcefully held back her tears, staring tightly at her with both eyes.

She does not hope for others to help her complain about her grievances, but at least let there be justice.

She only wanted justice.

In front of those eyes that seemed to be holding a life-saving straw, Manager Chen looked away.

She smiled apologetically and told Song Lei that it was all their responsibility, and she made a mistake in employing staff.

That they’re very sorry for letting him encounter such a situation, as compensation, his hotel accommodation, and dining fee will be waived.

Then turned to Zhinan and said, “Lin Zhinan, apologize to Mr. Song.”

Lin Zhinan looked at her incredulously, “Manager…”

“I said to apologize!!”

---

Lin Zhinan can’t remember how she got out of the hotel, she was at a complete loss like there was no way out.

She seemed to be in a nightmare she would never awake from. In her dreams, everywhere was fangs that bared in ugliness, where money is supreme, and power is authoritarian.

She was an ant with nothing left being crushed in the face of reality.

She forgot if she ever apologized to Song Lei, maybe she did, otherwise, how could that person’s face be so rampant, facing her with their nostrils.

But how could she have said those words, how could she?!

What wrong did she have?

Is it wrong that she had indignation? Was it her self-esteem that didn’t allow her to be bullied? Is it wrong that she didn’t push her ass towards him to let him continue touching it?

What kind of world is this?!

Zhinan thought she had escaped, but turns out she was still living in the gutter– a mouse that anyone could trample on.

The surrounding shadows flickered, stumbling into her bewildered eyes.

Suddenly, a drop of water hit her head.

A few rumbles, and the torrential rain that fell from the sky that was still clear a second ago, turned Lin Zhinan into a soaked mess.

Everyone was hurrying back and forth on the long sidewalk, sheltering from the rain, but she didn’t feel anything, walking in a trance filled with numbness.

Suddenly, a familiar figure entered her line of sight.

The young girl stood in front of the Marriott Hotel, the slanting rain drenched her expensive dress.

The girl hid under the umbrella held by the man, but her hand was raised outside to catch the rain mischievously.

Not at all concerned about the expensive bag on her wrist.

The man with half of his face hidden under a black umbrella wore suits and leather shoes. He had thin lips. On his face that screamed unapproachable, a touch of indulgence appeared.

Until the passenger door opened and the girl got into the car.

As if he sensed that someone was looking at him. The umbrella was raised, he lifted his eyelids and looked over, his eyes were deep, as cold as a pool of pond water.

Lin Zhinan watched the car drive away from the hotel, moving further and further away.

She recognized her. It was the girl from the western restaurant.

They looked about the same age, but their fate was very different.

Heavy rain still poured down into the earth, and it is as cold as usual. She has a body of armor to shield her from wind and rain for a lifetime.

But not her.

At this moment, Zhinan felt unprecedentedly sad, and even her vigorous heart was as if stabbed by a knife– full of holes.

She thought that as long as she worked hard enough, fate would one day favor her.

She doesn’t ask for much, she just wants stability, to be respected by others, and to have her own peaceful home.

But it was on this very ordinary day, that Zhinan understood how ridiculous her thoughts were.

This world is terribly deformed, where fairness was bullsh*t, and the rules and regulations exist just to suppress ordinary people like her.

If it is the girl who was bullied today.

The result would absolutely, absolutely be different.

Zhinan felt so tired, she covered her face with her hands, and the tears slid down between the gaps of her fingers.

She felt powerless in front of the mountain called reality. She is still the Lin Zhinan bullied by others in the small county town.

Her body is obviously exhausted, but she still walked aimlessly, letting the rain wash her entire face, soaking her tired body together in the sea of rain.

People come and go, moving away under their umbrella, but no one paid attention to her grief.

Several car horns sounded in her ears, and Zhinan turned her head with dullness, unknowingly she was already on the zebra crossing.

As a blue sports car approached quickly, she was caught off guard– falling to the ground.

“F*ck!”

The car stopped, Tang Ziyu cursed in a low voice.

He put the phone to his ear and coaxed, “It’s okay baby, it’s just someone who hasn’t got eyes… I will pick you up, definitely pick you up later. I’m worried about leaving you alone in such heavy rain.”

“Then you continue dancing while waiting for me obediently, I’ll get out of the car and have a look.” He added, fooling around, “Kiss your husband.”

“Hurry up, or make up for it in bed.”

Unknown what was said on the other side of the line, but he smiled wickedly, then hung up the phone, and slowly pushed the door open with an umbrella in hand.

He had occurrences with accident fakers once or twice a year, but oh was she unlucky to have crashed into his car.

The person on the ground still sat there with their head down, seeming very pitiful in the rain.

Tang Ziyu approached, a little impatient, “Shall I call you a taxi?”

“I say, you rushed up by yourself, didn’t you see the green light there? And I didn’t even touch you, you—”

The girl’s abrupt lifting of her head, made the words that followed came to an abrupt end, his mind suddenly blanked.

There is nothing but her stunning beauty left in the depth of his eyes.

Her tearful eyes seemed to be full of breathtaking power. Tang Ziyu was self-proclaimed to have seen countless beauties, but none was even close to the one before him.

Raindrops hit her full forehead, and beads of fine pearls fell on her long eyelashes.

Her slightly lifted head exposed the enchanting arc of her white neck, raindrops slid down the white neck like crystals.

What’s a word for this scene– thrilling.

As if in the heavy rain, he picked up a peony with a beautiful color that could topple cities.

“Are you alright? Hurt anywhere?” Tang Ziyu’s tone changed drastically. Seeing her still sitting on the ground, he squatted down and shifted the umbrella over her.

A faint fragrance hit, and the man’s mind rippled even more frantically.

Lin Zhinan shook her head, “It’s okay.”

She didn’t want to be too entangled, but when she was about to prop herself up, she saw skin that was peeled off on her palms.

A few drops of red blood oozed out, and it was a little painful when mixed with muddy water.

“How is this okay, I’ll take you to the hospital!” Tang Ziyu didn’t plan on letting her go, at the very least he should get her phone number first.

He squatted down and suggested, “A friend of mine owns a hospital, we can just go there to get it bandaged.”

“It’s really not necessary.” Lin Zhinan refused, “Thank you.”

Even a fool would know the reason why the pair of eyes before her stared.

“Don’t worry, I am not a monster who cannibalizes people.” Tang Ziyu jokingly said, “But you really have to go and see if you are hurt, otherwise my responsibility would be huge.”

The girl’s face was flawless when he looked up close, and her affectionate eyes when focused on others were electrifying.

Even though Tang Ziyu is famed as someone who’s passed through thousands of flowers*, he still can’t move his eyes from her.

Lin Zhinan stared at him and was about to refuse when she stopped the words on the tip of her tongue the second she noticed the car behind him.

A sign she only remembered a few days ago.
