Yunshui Manor is located in a secluded mountain forest on the outskirts of Beijing.

In summer, the area is lush with green grass and trees, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Compared with the noisy and bustling city center of Beijing, it seems like a completely different world.

It was winter at that time, and Beijing had already seen several snowfalls. Looking out from the main building of the manor, one could have a panoramic view of the snowy scenery of the surrounding mountains and forests. The mountains and plains were dotted with white snow, which was unique in style.

Yunshui Manor covers an area of ​​thousands of acres. The manor has a unique style, with distinctive gardens and buildings everywhere. The overall architectural style is unified, exuding a classic and romantic atmosphere.

There is even an artificial lake in the manor. In winter, a layer of ice forms on the lake surface. The crystal clear ice surface is like an unpolished mirror. When the sun shines on it, it reflects a cold and clear light. It is like being covered with sparkling diamonds, and a mysterious and cold atmosphere blows towards you.

Yunshui Manor has always been a leisurely and elegant place, with not many visitors coming and going on ordinary days. Only at this time of year will it usher in the most prosperous and star-studded time of the year.

The reason is simple. In recent years, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce has arranged its annual end-of-year dinner here. By then, not only the upper echelons of Beijing's business community, but also the leaders from all walks of life will gather here.

At this moment, the sun has not yet completely set, but the main building of the manor is already brightly lit. The parking area outside the manor can be used to host a luxury car show, with all kinds of limited edition sports cars.

When Chu Jiamiao arrived at the manor, more than half of the guests for the dinner had already arrived.

She was wearing a moonlight gauze haute couture dress borrowed for her by Xing Yunlu, and she got out of a Mercedes-Benz GTC holding Mr. Tan's arm in a very intimate manner.

Maybe it's because fame brings wealth, her every move now really has some top-notch temperament. Director Tan was obviously very satisfied with her outfit tonight, and before getting off the car, he did not forget to put his hand on her slender waist and pinched it.

"Oh, Mr. Tan, you are so annoying..." Chu Jiamiao felt pain, turned around with a coquettish look on her face, and lightly hit Mr. Tan's chest.

……

Melodious violin sounds were heard from the huge banquet hall. The lights were bright and the place was bustling with people, all holding wine glasses and toasting each other.

Chu Jiamiao's eyes seemed to be insufficient, and his eyes were bright and bright, and he cried out in surprise in his heart——

That bastard Xing Yunlu really didn't fool her this time. The scene was filled with many familiar faces that she had only had the opportunity to see in magazines and news reports.

Before this, the most impressive dinner party Chu Jiamiao had ever attended must have been the birthday party of the old man of the Gu family.

Most of the guests at that dinner party were people that Chu Shengfeng and his wife could not get close to. And now here, she saw several powerful faces that even the Gu family could not get close to.

Chu Jiamiao once again realized what it means that there are always mountains beyond mountains and there are always higher grounds beyond grounds.

She only secretly hated herself for being so short-sighted and for having ended up in her current state just for the sake of a worthless Gu Tingyan.

……

Although there were many celebrities at the scene, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the protagonists of tonight's dinner were only those upper-class people who were successful in the business world and stood at the top of the pyramid.

They were dressed in gorgeous formal gowns, holding high-heeled glasses under the bright crystal chandeliers, gathering in groups of three or five to greet each other, and frankly accepting the flattery of those below them, with an air of arrogance and nobility in their every move.

A few crisp clinks of glasses may confirm the cooperation on several future projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars; a few brief exchanges may determine the development trend of an industry in the next few years.

This is the charm of this dinner that makes people flock to it. The air is filled with the smell of power and money.

Since ancient times, money, power and beauty have been inseparable. Of course, there was no shortage of all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women at the dinner party. Chu Jiamiao only took a cursory glance, and countless familiar names in the entertainment industry flashed through his mind.

But here, appearance seems to have become the least valuable thing. No matter you are a top star who is highly respected by everyone, a supermodel who dominates the red carpet, or an actress who has won numerous huge awards, you can only be a supporting role here.

To be precise, the existence of these people is more like a social tool for the upper class, a symbol to show their identity.

Chu Jiamiao had a slight feeling of inferiority in the previous second, thinking that all the guests at the dinner were out of her reach and that she was just an insignificant minion. But the next second, she realized that she was really famous.

When she walked into the banquet hall holding Mr. Tan's hand in a pearly white moonlight gauze dress, she attracted at least 80% of the attention from everyone.

Chu Jiamiao knew without thinking that these people must have been stunned by her stunning beauty. After all, every day when she woke up and looked in the mirror, she couldn't wait to hug her face and lick it a few times.

The gazes of the crowd were her stimulant. She immediately straightened her back with a proud look - it seemed that the two or three million yuan spent on plastic surgery was not wasted. This was the courtesy that a top beauty should receive when she appeared.

She was familiar with the next step. Even if she stood there silently, many men would surely come up to her and chat with her, while the women would gather together and stare at her with unfriendly eyes.

——Sure enough, she guessed it right. The next second, several men in suits and ties walked towards them with wine glasses. While greeting Director Tan, they kept glancing at her with indescribable amusement in their eyes.

"Well, Mr. Tan's recent taste..." One of the men holding a goblet clinked his glass with Mr. Tan's and glanced at her with an indescribable look: "It's really unique."

Even a fool could hear the obvious mockery in his tone.

Mr. Tan's family is wealthy and owns the nearest freight port to Beijing, which means he is destined to play an important role in the business world. Unless these people don't want to do import and export trade anymore in this life, they will never openly mock him.

So, it was obvious that the contempt was directed at her.

Chu Jiamiao immediately grasped Mr. Tan's sleeve and looked at him pitifully.

Mr. Tan has many ways of torturing people in private, but he always appears cheerful and good-tempered in front of others:

"Haha, what's the big deal? Women are just like clothes. It's fun to try all styles."

Chu Jiamiao's face fell instantly.
