Chapter 117 Reunion with Xu Yue, Two Different Fates in Two Lifetimes.
"Me! Me! You!" The receptionist had gotten away with a lot by being unreasonable, but she had never met anyone more unreasonable than her.
Hearing Zhang Chaosheng's arrogant words, he couldn't even refute them.
Seeing his boss's impatient expression, the bodyguard stopped listening to the woman's nonsense and dragged her towards the door.
Because it was the weekend, many pedestrians on the street saw this scene.
"Huh? What's going on? Why were they thrown out like that?"
"This woman looks somewhat familiar."
"How could you not recognize it? Didn't that video go viral last month? The one about kicking the customers out!"
"Oh! Now that you mention it, I remember! You got fired? Serves you right!"
When passersby saw the receptionist's disheveled appearance, they pointed and whispered, their words filled with disdain.
Seeing the three leave, Zhang Wangyue didn't linger at the hotel. Instead, she told Zhang Chaosheng to stay and look for new employees.
"No? Why is it me again?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Chaosheng instantly felt like he was some kind of ancient, vengeful spirit!
"Or you could go back to China to handle the miscellaneous matters related to Douyin and macro photography?" Zhang Wangyue wasn't in a hurry when she heard this, and directly let Zhang Chaosheng choose for himself.
"Haha... well... the more capable you are, the more work you should do!" Zhang Chaosheng immediately shut up upon hearing this.
Keep in mind they've been in Thailand for over a month! Even if they had to return home for any unresolved issues, who knows how many documents they've accumulated in such a long time!
Upon hearing Zhang Chaosheng's words, Zhang Wangyue simply chuckled helplessly and didn't say much.
Since working with Jiang Chengcheng, both of their personalities have changed significantly. These changes are largely related to their job duties. Zhang Wangyue is in charge of the group's internal operations, while Zhang Chaosheng is in charge of external public relations.

Beijing University dormitory.
"Chengcheng, do you have time today? Come with me to buy some clothes. I'm going to a social party that a friend is organizing in a couple of days, but it's cold now and I don't have any suitable clothes."
It's the weekend, and Jiang Chengcheng had a rare chance to sleep in. Right now, she's lying in bed scrolling through Douyin videos.
Liu Xixi suddenly came over from the opposite side, and she was so startled that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Seeing Liu Xixi staring at her pitifully with her big, bright eyes, Jiang Chengcheng sighed helplessly and reluctantly got out of bed.
Although it's the weekend, Huang Qing and Gao Xuanyi both had to go out, so Liu Xixi was the only one who could accompany her.
"Shall we go? Grandma, I'm really scared of you." Jiang Chengcheng said to Liu Xixi while changing her clothes.
"Little Chengcheng! I knew you were the best! Let's go! We're going to Shengjing Commercial Building, I've already prepared the car!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xixi's mouth, which had been looking sullen and aggrieved, instantly turned up in a smile.
She hurriedly climbed out of bed and quickly put on her makeup and shoes.
What would normally take several hours to complete took less than half an hour today.
……
It's November now, and the weather in Beijing has turned cool. The old locust and ginkgo trees along the roadside change almost every day, and the fallen, withered yellow leaves are swept up by the sanitation workers, only to fall again.
The entrance to the lobby of Shengjing Commercial Building.
As soon as Jiang Chengcheng entered the door, she rubbed her face, which was red from the cold. Because she had left in a hurry, Jiang Chengcheng hadn't paid attention to the weather. Who would have thought that the temperature would drop so quickly in less than a day?
"...Jiang Chengcheng?"
Jiang Chengcheng and Liu Xixi were still stomping their feet to warm up when a strange yet familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.
Jiang Chengcheng looked up at the person behind her upon hearing the sound.
The person who arrived was Xu Yue.
Upon seeing the other person's face, Jiang Chengcheng was momentarily stunned. It had been more than a year since the incident at school.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't bother to find out where Xu Yue went afterward, since she was now a complete stranger to her.
Now, whether it's because the world is too small or something else, Jiang Chengcheng has unexpectedly reunited with Xu Yue in Beijing.
However, there was one thing that puzzled her no matter how she thought about it. If she remembered correctly, Xu Yue should have been admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University in her previous life. How come she is here now?
Looking at the heavily made-up girl next to him, Jiang Chengcheng had a gut feeling that this person might be involved in some shady industry.
Even from some distance, Jiang Chengcheng could smell a rather vulgar odor emanating from the other person.
"Yueyue, who is this?" The heavily made-up woman touched her newly permed hair and asked Xu Yue with a somewhat arrogant expression.
“Hey classmate, let’s go. The shopkeeper’s in a hurry. Let’s go home early after you finish shopping.” Xu Yue’s expression visibly stiffened when she heard the woman’s words.
He wondered if he had been blinded by greed!
Why call Jiang Chengcheng? If she knew my current situation, she'd probably laugh herself to death!
"Chengcheng, is this your classmate?" Liu Xixi glanced at Xu Yue with some curiosity and asked Jiang Chengcheng next to her.
Liu Xixi, being from a prominent family in Hong Kong, had seen her share of dirty deeds, so she was very familiar with the demeanor of these two men.
Thinking that Chengcheng's classmates should be around the same age as her, why would they do such a thing?
"Hmm, not familiar with her, let's go." Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly when she saw Xu Yue's unfamiliar expression.
It's as if she's the one who greeted us.
The heavily made-up woman looked older than Xu Yue, and seeing that she didn't want to say much, Xu Yue didn't press her for more information.
The strange thing is that they were all heading to the same floor.
At first, when they went up to the same floor, Jiang Chengcheng didn't pay much attention, but neither of them spoke, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
Jiang Chengcheng and her companion went up four floors before they could roughly tell that the group was going to the same floor.
Fortunately, once they reached the fifth floor, Xu Yue whispered something in the woman's ear, and the two went to different shops.
……
Here.
Jiang Chengcheng and Liu Xixi entered one of the Chanel boutiques.
Because she had been busy with work and studies, Jiang Chengcheng hadn't been shopping for a long time.
Looking at the dazzling array of clothes and accessories in the shop, I couldn't help but feel an urge to buy everything.
"Gentlemen, what do you need?" Because Liu Xixi and Jiang Chengcheng had the aura of "young ladies," they received very good treatment as soon as they entered the store.
Red wine and desserts were served all at once, as if they were free.
"Ladies, this is a special treat for our members. You can eat and watch at the same time," Sister Sa said respectfully as she placed the food from her plate on the table.
"Yueyue! What are you afraid of? It's just that we're shopping at the same store. Is she going to eat you up?" Just as Jiang Chengcheng was about to speak, a sudden voice came from the direction of the door.
