Chapter 4 The Guanshan Grand Hotel

• The Guanshan Grand Hotel, the only five-star hotel in Lijiang City, is magnificent and splendid, like a shining pearl embedded at the foot of Guanshan Mountain.
• This is not a place where people like Fang Shuotian, who are poor and destitute, can set foot.
• When Fang Shuotian arrived at the hotel entrance, he was stopped by the security guards.
• "Do you even know where you are? Do you think someone of your status can enter here?" The security guard sneered, looking Fang Shuotian up and down.
• "I recognize him, isn't he the 'Green Hat King'?" Another security guard mocked.
• "Oh, who do we have here? It turns out to be the esteemed son-in-law of the Su family. What brings you here?" Fang Shuotian quickly took out a cigarette and handed it over, smiling apologetically, "I'm here to see Mr. Su about something. I hope you can let me in, brothers."
• He put on a smiling face, but deep down, he felt extremely frustrated.
• In Lijiang City, he was someone that anyone could ridicule.
• The security guard took the cigarette and said, "I'm sorry, but that won't do. Tonight's gathering is extremely important and requires an invitation to enter. Do you have one?"
• Fang Shuotian forced a smile and said, "Can you help me inform Mr. Su then? I just need her to come out and see me. Once we're done, I'll leave."
• The security guard waved his hand, signaling him to leave. "Mr. Su is in the middle of the gathering. Do you want us to disturb her? Do you want to cause trouble for us? Get lost, you're not welcome here."
• Just then, an Aston Martin pulled up at the hotel entrance.
• After the car stopped, the driver got out and opened the back door. A handsome man in a black suit with slicked-back hair stepped out of the car.
• The man was Shen Feng, the one who gave Fang Shuotian the nickname 'Green Hat King'.
• Shen Feng saw Fang Shuotian at a glance but ignored him, walking towards the hotel.
• Fang Shuotian gritted his teeth and walked up to Shen Feng, smiling, "Mr. Shen, could you do me a favor? I need to see Mr. Su about something. Can you help me get in?"
• Shen Feng sneered, shook his head slightly, and didn't pay any attention to him, continuing to walk.
• Fang Shuotian didn't give up and stopped Shen Feng again.
• Seeing this, one of Shen Feng's subordinates pushed Fang Shuotian away and pointed at him, shouting angrily, "Take a good look at yourself before you try to stop Shen Gongzi. Is this a place you can come to?"
• Fang Shuotian was speechless and felt ashamed.
• Shen Feng held back his subordinate, smiling, "Hey! Don't be like this. After all, he is the esteemed son-in-law of the Su family. It's only right to let him in."
• Then he said to the security guard, "Let the esteemed son-in-law of the Su family in!"
• "Yes!" The security guard nodded.
• Fang Shuotian felt a mix of emotions but managed to squeeze out a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
• He then hurried into the hotel.
• Shen Feng's subordinate was puzzled, "Shen Gongzi, tonight is the gathering for General Tan Lang. Is it appropriate to let someone like him in?"
• Shen Feng sneered, "If we don't let him in, where's the fun?"
• Inside the hotel.
• Su Lingxue was wearing a wine-red shoulder-baring dress, heavily made up, and extremely eye-catching.
• An elegant and noble old lady led her to drink and socialize with the big shots from all walks of life.
• This old lady was Su Lingxue's grandmother, the dowager of the Su family, Li Huilan.
• Li Huilan introduced her granddaughter to two middle-aged men with big bellies, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, this is the beloved granddaughter of the dowager, Su Lingxue."
• One of the men complimented, "I've heard your name before, and you are indeed beautiful. It's clear that you are the dowager Li's granddaughter."
• Su Lingxue nodded gently, raised her wine glass, and smiled, "Mr. Wang, you flatter me."
• The other man clinked glasses with her and said with a smile, "I don't know if Miss Su is married yet. I have a useless son at home. If possible, I hope he can marry into the Su family."
• These businessmen were visiting Lijiang for the first time and were not familiar with the Su family's situation.
• Li Huilan's face showed a hint of difficulty, but she immediately turned it into a smile, "Mr. Zhang, my granddaughter is not yet married. She is just a young person, and her career is more important at the moment. Marriage is not being considered for now."
• Mr. Zhang sighed, "That's a pity."
• But at this moment, Fang Shuotian rushed over.
• As soon as they saw him, both Li Huilan and Su Lingxue's faces turned extremely ugly.
• Su Lingxue cursed inwardly, "This useless person, why did he come here?"
• She then bowed to the two businessmen and said, "Gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment. I will come back later to toast you."
• After that, she walked towards Fang Shuotian.
• Seeing this, Mr. Wang pointed at Fang Shuotian and asked Li Huilan in confusion, "Madam Li, who is that?"
• Li Huilan suppressed her displeasure and smiled, "He's just a servant from our family. Something must have happened. Please don't think too much of it."
• "I see!" The two men suddenly realized and nodded.
• Su Lingxue approached Fang Shuotian.
• "Old...Mr. Su!"
• Slap...
• Before Fang Shuotian could finish speaking, Su Lingxue slapped him across the face.
• "What are you doing here? Are you here to embarrass me?" Su Lingxue scolded.
• Fang Shuotian quickly bowed and apologized, "It's an urgent matter, so I rushed over..."
• Su Lingxue bit her lip, "What the hell is it this time?"
• Fang Shuotian hesitated for a moment, struggling internally, before timidly saying, "I...I need to borrow...money!"
• "Didn't I give you ten thousand this morning?"
• "I need more for some other things."
• "How much do you need? Hurry up and say! I'll have my secretary transfer it to you. Now get lost!"
• "Thirty..."
• Before Fang Shuotian could finish his sentence, a man walked over and interrupted him.
• "Isn't this my brother-in-law, Fang Dashao from the Fang family? Long time no see!"
• The man was Su Lingxue's cousin, Su Guangming.
• Behind Su Guangming was his wife, Sun Wei.
• Sun Wei looked at Su Lingxue with ill intentions and said, "Lingxue, don't you know what occasion it is today? Why did you let this useless person come?"
• Su Lingxue sighed, "I didn't ask him to come. He came on his own."
• Su Guangming laughed, "I heard just now that my brother-in-law came to borrow money, right?"
• Then he walked up to Fang Shuotian, looking up at his tall figure, "Tell me, how much do you need? I'll give it to you!"
• Fang Shuotian glanced at Su Lingxue and saw that she wasn't looking at him. He tentatively said to Su Guangming, "Thir...thirty-five thousand!"
• "My brother-in-law sure asks for a large amount!" Su Guangming's face suddenly changed, and he angrily said, "Are you treating my Su family as an ATM? Thirty-five thousand, today! Don't even think about taking a single penny from my Su family!"
