Heartbroken and lovelorn

  The next thing that happened was unexpected. Ling Yuwen, who had spent a sorrowful night, received a call from Manager Xia the next day while she was still half asleep. He said that the Zhonghua Hotel had decided to hire her and would discuss salary based on what she had mentioned in her job application. He also asked if she had any problem starting work the following Monday.

  Her hand holding the phone trembled non-stop, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and it wasn't until half a ring later that she realized she had replied with a series of stuttered "no problem".

  Manager Xia smiled and said "see you then" before hanging up the phone.

  The lingering sorrow and pain were washed away in an instant, and Ling Yuqian was caught up in excitement and agitation. She seemed to have returned to a certain night three years ago, when Tianyou took her to the top of the mountain and shared with her the chocolate he had bought, smooth and rich, sweet and fragrant, a sweet and gentle feeling spreading throughout her body, her heart filled with soft and soothing ripples and boundless fantasies. That was the taste given by her lover, that was the expectation and hope given by her lover.

  She urgently needed to share the joy with someone, so she dialed Cai Lan's phone number again. Cai Lan was shocked when she heard the good news, and after her initial astonishment, she felt more happy and relieved for her friend, even though she still couldn't understand her friend's strange behavior last night.

  They chatted casually for a while before wrapping up.

  After that, Ling Yuqian couldn't wait to tell her mother and sister the good news. Her mother and sister were overjoyed too, and the quiet little house was filled with a long-lost sense of happiness and joy.

  Ling Yuqian considered that the Zhonghua Hotel was a large institution, and to stabilize her footing there, she would have to spend more time and energy. Moreover, she had another important task when she went to work, so she might not have much time at home. Therefore, taking advantage of these few days off, she helped with the household chores and also took her younger sister out for a trip.

  Of course, she didn't forget Xiao Yifan's promise either.

  She dialed his cell phone and seriously told him that she would go to watch the final, cheer for him and witness his championship.

  On Saturday night, she left home early and arrived at the TV station according to Xiao Yifan's instructions, where they met backstage.

  Tonight, he has a completely new image, more sunny, more spirited, and the faint sadness between his eyebrows has also been hidden. Only then did she see clearly that he was so handsome, so gentle, and so captivating.

  "Yǔ Yuān, thank you for coming!" Xiao Yifan thanked her again, his face as calm and peaceful as a spring breeze. He noticed that Ling Yuān had been staring at him with pursed lips, and gradually he too began to feel slightly uneasy, awkwardly asking, "Does my outfit tonight look okay?"

  Ling Yuqian smiled and gave him a thumbs up instead of speaking directly.

  He cracked a smile, his tense muscles relaxing, and after a moment, the instructor called him. He apologized to Ling Yuqian and asked her to wait for a moment before temporarily walking away.

  Ling Yuqian came to the TV station's backstage for the first time, her curiosity was piqued, she walked slowly and prepared to take a look around, when passing by the restroom, she went in to relieve herself.

  As it happens, both toilet stalls are occupied and the people inside are chatting with each other.

  "Xin Xin, why not show your identity to the judges or hosts? If they know that your grandfather is He Yunqing and your father is He Yixiang, who are well-known figures in politics and business, maybe they will directly let you advance and win the championship." The first speaker was a delicate voice.

  "Let's see how things go, I don't believe that with my strength, I won't be able to beat them." Another voice spoke softly and slowly, with an air of nonchalance.

  "I certainly believe in your strength, and other opponents don't need to worry, but it can't be denied that the one called Xiao Yifan is a formidable opponent."

  "This is exactly the kind of opponent I need!" The tone of his response was still arrogant and disdainful.

  Listening to their conversation, Ling Yuqian bit her lip and pondered whether she should leave first. Before she could act, the two pale yellow wooden doors that were tightly closed suddenly opened, and two girls walked out.

  The girl called "Xinxin" is tall and slender, with a beautiful face and a stunning performance costume that catches the eye. She should be one of the contestants participating in tonight's competition, just like Xiao Yifan.

  As for the other one, wearing a light blue short skirt, she also has bright eyes and white teeth, youthful and charming, exuding an air of nobility all over her body.

  They saw Ling Yuqian, all showing a look of astonishment. The girl in blue skirt walked closer, her tone as if interrogating a prisoner, "Tell me, why did you eavesdrop on our conversation? How much did you hear just now?"
