"Oh, right! Boss, there's another piece of good news!" Tao suddenly thought of something and immediately raised her head.

"What good news?" Ling Youmei could not help but be curious.

"Master Ho from the VIP room checked out." A happy smile hung on Tao's face.

"Is that so?" Ling Youmei was slightly startled, a little surprised.

That Master Ho actually left just like that?

Could it be that he didn't come back after attending her sister's ex-boyfriend's wedding in A City?

"Yes, I personally checked him out a few days ago." Tao nodded affirmatively.

"Alright then." Ling Youmei's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, it was a good thing that the arrogant and despotic Master Ho had left.

She had been hoping that he would check out as soon as possible, but she didn't expect him to really leave.

"The people in our inn have been tortured by him for nearly a month. Now, everyone can finally be free." Tao also had a relaxed expression.

"You continue with your work. I'm going back to the office." Ling Youmei smiled and reminded him.

"Yes, boss." Tao said happily.

The holiday lasted for more than ten days, and Ling Youmei was exceptionally busy during these ten days.

Her inn's business was full every day, and she had to participate in various activities in the ancient city.

Ling Youmei could basically only sleep for four hours a day. She stayed in the inn every day and did not even return home once.

The other staff in her inn also worked overtime every day.

Finally, when the holiday ended, the tourists left one after another. Her inn was no longer as busy as before.

Ling Youmei only wanted to go home immediately and have a good sleep.

Just as she walked out of the office, she saw Manager Wang, the person in charge of the ancient city, walking towards her in a hurry.

"Boss Ling, luckily you're still at the inn. I happen to have something to talk to you about!"

"Manager Wang, what's the matter?" Ling Youmei asked curiously.

She had a meal with the manager of the ancient city, Manager Wang, when she took over this inn two years ago. After that, Tang Kou had been in charge of socializing.

Previously, when she bumped into him and the big boss in the ancient city, Manager Wang did not recognize her. Why did he take the initiative to come and find her today?

"Of course I came to look for you for something important." Manager Wang came up to her and invited her with great hospitality: "There is a dinner tonight, which can be considered a celebration dinner for this year's Tourism Festival. I will be there with a few of the core members in charge of the ancient city, as well as a few leaders from the city. I would like to invite you to come with me."

"Me? Why do you want me to go too?" Ling Youmei was startled for a moment and asked in surprise.

She hadn't been invited to the celebrations two years ago.

Besides, she was only the owner of a small guesthouse, and only leaders attended the celebrations. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to join them.

"Your inn has always been popular on the internet. It's very famous in our ancient city, and it's always been popular with tourists. This year's Tourism Festival, your inn's business is especially good." Manager Wang's tone was sincere, and he reminded her with a smile.

Hearing him say that, if Ling Youmei still wanted to continue running her inn in the ancient city, she would naturally be too embarrassed to refuse.

"Alright, I'll go!" She nodded in agreement.

"Remember to dress up nicely." Before Manager Wang left, he specially reminded her.

When Ling Youmei returned home, she simply washed up, opened the wardrobe, picked out a relatively formal and expensive dress from inside, and put on a light makeup in front of the mirror.

She did not deliberately dress up, but since she was attending such an occasion, it was necessary for her to dress elegantly.

Looking at her delicate and beautiful self in the mirror, she did not lose the air of a capable and successful businesswoman. Ling Youmei nodded her head in satisfaction and went out with her bag.

Tonight's celebratory dinner was held in a classy clubhouse in S City, a membership system where only the rich and the powerful could become members.

Ling Youmei was not a member here. When she drove over, Manager Wang was already waiting for her at the door.

"Boss Ling, didn't I tell you to dress up nicely? Why are you dressed like this?" Manager Wang frowned the moment he saw her.

"What, can't I do this? Isn't it very appropriate?" Ling Youmei raised her eyebrows, not thinking that there was anything wrong with it.

Wasn't her dressing tonight very consistent with her identity as the host?

"Dinner is supposed to be relaxing and comfortable. You're dressed so formally, and you look like you're going to work. It's too formal." Manager Wang's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he shook his head.

Ling Youmei pursed her lips and smiled, "Manager, I'm used to being casual. It's already very good that I'm dressed like this today."

It had to be known that this kind of social event was usually attended by Tang Kou on her behalf. Today, she had deliberately dressed so formally to attend the leaders' celebratory dinner, which was already very difficult for her.

"Alright, let's go in." Manager Wang sighed and led her in.

The interior of the clubhouse was decorated with a vintage style. There were pavilions, pavilions, carved beams, paintings, artificial mountains, and flowing water. There were exquisite gardens everywhere. The scenery was pleasant and pleasing to the eye.

Tonight's celebration dinner was set in the biggest private room inside.

He pulled open the mahogany sliding door. The floor and furniture inside were all made of wood. It was very elegant and poetic.

When Manager Wang led her in, there were already a lot of people inside.

Ling Youmei was slightly shocked, and could not help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

She was a small fry, and the people who could attend this dinner tonight were all people that City S could not afford to offend.

She only hoped to keep a low profile as much as possible and lower her presence. After all, she didn't know anyone.

Manager Wang brought her to greet people she was familiar with. Ling Youmei was able to deal with him, and smiled when she saw him.

"Who is this beauty?" Suddenly, a well-dressed middle-aged man came in front of them, his dignified gaze falling on Ling Youmei.

"Mayor Cui, this is the female boss of the Internet celebrity hostel, Ling Youmei." Manager Wang immediately introduced respectfully.

"Ling Youmei? Boss Ling?" Mayor Cui slightly narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze sizing her up.

"Hello, Mayor Cui!" Ling Youmei braced herself and greeted, she was secretly shocked in her heart, she did not expect the Mayor of S City to come to tonight's dinner.

It seemed that everyone who attended tonight's celebration banquet was undoubtedly a big shot.

"Boss Ling, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Mayor Cui's deep eyes sparkled as he asked calmly.

Hearing this, Ling Youmei's body couldn't help but tremble, and her heart felt a little weak.

When she first saw Mayor Cui, she thought he looked familiar. Now that she thought about it, when she was Qi Yueze's girlfriend, she should have seen him at the Qi Family.

After all, Qi Yueze's father was also a politician, so Mayor Cui must know the Qi Family.

It was just that she had already broken up with Qi Yueze. Besides, her identity as the daughter of the Ling family had always been kept a secret since she ran away from her marriage and opened this guesthouse in S City.

"Maybe I have a common face." Ling Youmei replied awkwardly but politely.

Mayor Cui's eyes darkened as he smiled and praised, "Boss Ling is too modest. You are so young and beautiful, and you can run a guesthouse so well. You deserve to be called a strong woman."

After receiving the praise of the mayor himself, everyone present looked up to her.

After the dinner officially began, she was arranged to sit at the main table with Mayor Cui, next to Manager Wang.

Although she and Manager Wang both sat at the end of the table, it still made many people envious.

Especially the representatives of the ancient city merchants who had been invited to the celebration feast today. Only Ling Youmei had the honor of sitting at the main table.

Very quickly, everyone sat down one after another. Basically, everyone who was going to attend tonight was present.

- Except for one person!

Ling Youmei noticed that the seat of honor beside Mayor Cui was still empty. There should be another big shot who had yet to arrive.

But even the Lord Mayor had personally made a move, which big shot would dare to drag it out until now?

Asking so many officials, bosses, and people in charge to wait for him alone?

Time passed slowly, but this big shot still didn't show up.

Without him, the celebration couldn't begin. Everyone was waiting for him.

Seeing that the group of leaders present were all very patient, no matter how unwilling Ling Youmei was, she had to maintain her appearance.

However, she was cursing this man in her heart for not being punctual.

He actually made so many of them wait for him!

Time passed minute by minute, from 6: 30 to 7: 30.

The door of the private room finally opened. Everyone looked over at the same time.

A tall man walked in with several people.

He was a man in a limited-edition, intricately handmade black suit that outlined his tall, straight figure. His features were chiseled and chiseled, and his lips were thin.

The moment Ling Youmei saw him, she could not help but be dumbfounded.

Wasn't this man the man who looked like Joe that she had met in the ancient city?

At that time, he was like a star surrounded by the stars. He was surrounded and flattered by many managers and managers around him, and today, he had made so many leaders, big and small, wait for him alone.

Could it be that his background was not small? Was he really a big shot that could not be provoked?

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Just as Ling Youmei was thinking, Huo Shi'ou had already walked in and said politely.

"Director Huo, welcome!" Mayor Cui was the first to stand up with a smile on his face.

The others also stood up and greeted him with smiles.

Ling Youmei also looked over, but she did not expect that this glance would actually meet the man's deep gaze. It was so fast that she did not have time to dodge.

Their eyes met. The man's deep gaze was filled with an unfathomable sense of judgment, as if he wanted to look into the depths of her soul.
