Vol V Chapter 25

"I bumped into Secretary Zhao in the elevator this morning. She was carrying an evening gown, and we chatted a bit," Liu Xue hurriedly said.

"Oh, I see," I nodded thoughtfully. "Tingmei, please book a flight and a hotel to Hainan for tomorrow. Xiaoxue, help me find out the nature of the cocktail party Mr. Wang is attending."

"Sure thing, Brother Nan."

"Got it, Brother Nan."

As they left, I took a deep breath. I couldn't let Sun Dan continue to have the upper hand over me. Once I gain something on her, she wouldn't act so arrogantly in front of me again.

At noon, Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue invited me to a nearby shopping mall for a meal, where I learned that the cocktail party was a small gathering of fashion brands and was attended by some upper-class figures in the fashion industry. Mr. Wang was attending and brought only Secretary Zhao and Sun Dan with him. While Secretary Zhao and Mr. Wang had been long seen together, Sun Dan's presence was the outlier.

"Brother Nan, the Palm Tree Hotel is in the bay. It's quite far from here, but there's a rumor going around in the company that Mr. Wang not only has an affair with Secretary Zhao but also seems to be getting closer to that slave-driver. It seems like after the new year, he's planning to appoint her as the sales director for the East China region." Liu Xue quickly spoke up.

"I see," I nodded.

"Brother Nan, are you planning to go tonight too?" Zhang Tingmei asked uncertainly.

"Don't overthink it, you two. This trip to Hainan is strictly business. Just make sure to pick out the samples as soon as possible," I reassured them.

"Alright, Brother Nan. We won't let you down," they both agreed.

After returning to the company, I kept thinking about the matter and made up my mind to go to the hotel where the cocktail party was being held that night.

When the workday ended, I watched Sun Dan leave the company. She was looking awfully smug. I sneered to myself.

Upon arriving at the company's underground garage, I got into my car, turned on the GPS, confirmed the location of the hotel, and headed home to change clothes and get a haircut.

By around 6 pm, I was driving towards the bay.

The Palm Tree Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in the suburbs and a tourist attraction in Shanghai due to its special location. As it was a cold season, there weren't many tourists at the beach.

I parked my car a few hundred meters away from the hotel in an open-air parking lot. After taking a deep breath, I walked towards the hotel.

I arrived early to scout the location and realized that I needed an entry pass to get inside. These passes were given to guests in advance.

"D*mn, what should I do? How can I sneak in?" I felt anxious and looked around, but couldn't make up my mind.

Then, I spotted a BMW 730. It took a quick glance at the license plate for me to immediately recognize it as Mr. Wang's car. The driver parked the car in front of the hotel, and the back door slowly opened. I saw Mr. Wang stepping out, followed by Secretary Zhao and Sun Dan.

I muttered to myself, "You tigress, you're dressing quite provocatively!"

Indeed, Sun Dan was wearing a black lace skirt that hugged her curves and exposed her back. The skirt's hem stopped above her knees, revealing her long legs covered in black stockings.

"Sir, is this the place for the Dis Grand Commercial Party?" I was surprised when a young woman in a white pleated skirt approached me.

The young woman was about 5 feet 3 inches tall and had a baby face, looking cute and innocent. She had an entry pass hanging on her chest and blinked her big eyes at me.

"Yes, it is. And who are you?" I looked her up and down, then asked.

"I'm a designer. I'm new to the industry. I'm here to observe the fashion show at the cocktail party," she blushed and replied nervously.

"An invited guest?" I raised an eyebrow and inquired further.

"I applied myself. As long as an authoritative fashion designer approves, I can always apply for an invitation," she explained.

"Oh, I'm an invited guest too, but I forgot my pass. Do you mind if I go in with you?" I suggested.

She chuckled, "Of course not, as long as the organizer knows you. My name is Jiang Lili."

"I'm Lin Nan from Daifen." I grinned and handed her a business card.

"Nice to meet you." She nodded slightly and took the card with both hands.

"Let's go in together," I said with a smile.

While adapting my actions to the situation, I entered the hotel with Jiang Lili. The venue was filled with well-dressed guests wearing formal attire and evening gowns. A red carpet platform had been set up in the central hall for models to walk down. As we entered, I spotted Mr. Wang and Secretary Zhao chatting with others in a corner. Jiang Lili looked around curiously. She was clearly intrigued.

I took a glass of red wine from a waiter's tray and observed the situation from afar. Mr. Wang whispered something in Secretary Zhao's ear, and then she walked away. Later, I saw Mr. Wang embrace Sun Dan's waist. Sun Dan smiled back while blushing.

"You seductress, you're dressed so provocatively!" I cursed silently.

After taking out my phone, I took a few discreet photos. Then, I saw Mr. Wang take Sun Dan upstairs, so I followed them.

A few minutes later, I arrived on the hotel's second floor, where many private rooms were located. I got a bit lost in the maze.

"Mr. Wang, don't be in such a hurry. We have plenty of time tonight."

"Who asked you to dress so sexily? Don't worry; there's no one here. Let me pamper you!"

"No, no, Mr. Wang, don't lift my dress!"

While listening to their conversation, I followed the voices and came to a fire escape door.

Through the gap in the door, I saw Mr. Wang lift Sun Dan's dress, exposing her voluptuous buttocks to the air. He touched her and kissed her neck.

"You're so impatient, Mr. Wang."

"Hehe, it's more thrilling here. Dandan, I've missed you so much. I'm going to take good care of you tonight!"
