The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 5 – Shameful (2)

She was a very pretty girl, even in the night scene she stood out among all the other pretty girls. Even though she would only drink with her customers and not leave with them, she was still easily bringing in tens of thousands a month. Her life was enriched in terms of her financial standings, and at the same time, she had been exposed to a world that she never had before.

Having experienced eloping, having a child out of wedlock, and losing her spouse before she joined the night scene, the original owner had discovered the world of riches. She had a crazy thought all of a sudden – find herself a rich man, marry him, so her child can also become one of the top ten percenter.

Having been in this field for a few months, the original owner knew that customers went there for entertainment, nobody would seriously look for a wife at a place like that. It’d be crazy to think that she’d be able to find her a rich man. Not to mention that most of these men were middle-aged men who had let themselves go; she couldn’t even imagine being in bed with them, let alone anything else.

After some careful consideration, the original owner came to the conclusion that her best option was to take the money she had saved up and retire from the night scene. And that was how she ended up in Hotel Dorsett.

At the time, the original owner had no idea that the well renowned Hotel Dorsett was also one of Zhou’s properties. She hadn’t even heard of Zhou Qinhe. The reason she picked Hotel Dorsett was simple – it was the most famous hotel in the area. Words had it that everyone that went there was either officials or wealthy individuals. If she was to find herself a rich husband, a 5-star hotel seemed to be a good choice.

 Getting into Hotel Dorsett wasn’t easy. The original owner quit midway through senior high school, meaning her highest completed education level was only junior high school. Most upscale hotel required their candidates to be at least college educated. Hotel Dorsett, being a world-class hotel, naturally had even higher requirement. Their candidates must have a degree in Hotel Management or equivalent experience. The original owner knew that if she just sent in her resume, she’d never hear anything back. She resorted to dressing herself up and just going there in person, and that actually worked!

The original owner was well prepared for this job. She decided on a new setting for her personality and tried her darndest to create the image of an independent single mother – compared to a working girl, an outstanding mother had much better odds of scoring herself a rich man.

Opportunities were for those who were well prepared. The Original owner’s beauty, and her mild and tender temperament made a perfect combination and she immediately because the most well-loved stewardess at the hotel. She was more popular than other single girls with higher education.

All sorts of qualifying suitors came out of the woodwork, making the original owner dizzy from all the options and didn’t know who to choose. While she was looking at the sideline, the big boss of the organization’s headquarters, who rarely ever showed up, had arrived. His first appearance was stunning. The original owner and her coworkers were summoned into the lobby and lined up to welcome the big boss. The young and handsome big boss, surrounded by all his elite workers, walked passed them and didn’t even take a look at any of the young and hot stewardesses. He only exchanged a couple of words with Han Yu, the hotel manager, before he entered the elevated while surrounded by everyone.

The original owner’s eyes lit up suddenly.

At this point in time, she still didn’t dare to make the big boss her target; she was merely aiming for the few elite upper management personnel around the big boss – even Manager Han was quite eager to appease them, so she figured they were fairly high up within the organization.

Partly it was her luck, the internal news had it that for whatever reasons, the big boss would be staying at their facility for a while. Manager Han specifically hand picked the team that would wait on the big boss – a senior manager as their butler and the original owner and two of her colleagues, none of them had ever received any complaints, as their housekeepers, and promising 24 hours, around-the-clock service for the big boss.

And just like that, the original owner had landed the opportunity to get up close and personal. And, just as she had hoped, all the elite upper management personnel also came daily to meet up with the big boss.

Yet, an even more brazen idea occurred to the original owner: why go above and beyond for an employee instead of going for the big boss right in front of her?
