Chuxia and Cen Huai’an returned to Beijing, and Jiang Zhida brought Zhang Lu to pick them up, taking them directly to the entertainment venue.

It was completely different from the dirty, rundown building they had seen before.

The entrance was grand and luxurious, with the name “Yunmengze” written in large, elegant characters.

Below that, it read “Entertainment World” in smaller text.

Chuxia hadn’t been involved in naming Yunmengze; she knew Jiang Zhida had asked her grandfather for the name.

Seeing it, Chuxia smiled and said, “It’s very fitting, a beautiful and dreamlike world.”

Jiang Zhida grinned, snapped his fingers, and the doors opened with a whoosh.

A row of well-dressed, attractive young men and women stood in two lines, striking a welcoming pose and smiling at Chuxia and her group.

“Welcome, distinguished guests, to Yunmengze!”

Chuxia couldn’t help but want to cover her face and retreat.

Fortunately, they didn’t shout, “Welcome home, Miss!” Otherwise, she would have felt even more embarrassed.

It was a scene she had only imagined in dramas and never thought she would experience in real life.

Cen Huai’an also looked at the crowd with confusion.

“Cousin, do you like this welcome ceremony?” Jiang Zhida asked with a look of pride, clearly pleased with his idea.

Chuxia forced a smile despite her embarrassment. “It’s fine. Maybe next time, don’t do it. Let them get back to their posts quickly.”

“Cousin, I followed the methods you mentioned to train these staff members. No guest at Yunmengze has ever disliked it,” Jiang Zhida said, waving his hand to dismiss the staff and leading Chuxia and the others inside with a proud stride.

“No one dislikes being treated like royalty, and no one dislikes being treated like a god,” he continued.

At that time, the concept of service was still developing.

Previously, at the supply and marketing cooperative’s department store, the sales clerks had their eyes in the sky, so people naturally preferred warm and attentive service.

Once inside Yunmengze, Chuxia and Cen Huai’an were immediately impressed by the decor.

When choosing the decoration style, Chuxia had rejected the typical entertainment venue style, so Yunmengze had a low-key, luxurious, and dreamlike design.

The moment you stepped inside, you were struck by its beauty.

Soon, with the help of the staff, you would fall in love with the various entertainment activities, easily becoming addicted.

But an entertainment venue is meant for relaxation.

Yunmengze was free from smoke and dust, only offering joy and dreams. It was even more perfect than Chuxia had imagined, with its beautiful bridges and flowing water, misty atmosphere, and each entertainment room being unique but connected to the overall theme.

Chuxia and Cen Huai’an arrived at the ice skating rink, which had a more flamboyant atmosphere. Various lights shone down, and energetic music played, offering a different experience from the initial impression of Yunmengze.

At that moment, the rink was crowded, with staff nearby to prevent any accidents.

Most of the skaters were young people, who were prone to bumps and conflicts. Yunmengze, being a business, had to address such issues promptly to avoid affecting its reputation.

“Anan! I really like this ice skating rink. Do you want to go in and play?” Zhang Lu’s eyes lit up at the sight of the rink.

Cen Huai’an looked at Chuxia.

Chuxia patted his head. “If you want to play, go ahead.”

“Yes!” Jiang Zhida waved grandly, “Don’t hold back here. Have fun! Cousin, are you coming?”

“I will!” Chuxia and Anan had eaten on the plane and didn’t feel hungry or tired from the journey.

Jiang Zhida called over the staff to get new skates for Chuxia and Anan.

“I’ll have someone specially store and clean your skates to keep them spotless. The same goes for Zhang Lu and the others.”

“Thank you, Dazi. You’ve thought of everything,” Chuxia said.

Jiang Zhida leaned against the rink’s railing, casually observing. “Isn’t this what I should do? Cousin, you’re also a shareholder in Yunmengze. Enjoy yourself.”

Chuxia put on her skates, stood up, and smiled at Jiang Zhida. “Then Anan and I will make sure to experience it fully.”

With that, she skated into the rink, followed by Cen Huai’an and Zhang Lu, who eagerly joined.

Jiang Weixi was also accompanied by a staff member.

She had heard that her uncle was picking up Chuxia and Anan, so she came along.

Jiang Zhida helped by bringing her as well.

Jiang Weixian didn’t come this time as he had recently visited his grandfather’s home less frequently.

Jiang Zhida stayed outside the rink, needing to oversee things.

He leaned against the railing with a casual, smirking expression, watching the kids on the rink.

Chuxia, wanting to satisfy her skating craving, skated quickly at first. The rink had a wave bridge and high platforms, which beginners like her didn’t dare to try.

Chuxia enjoyed herself, trying out all the facilities in the rink, feeling exhilarated.

She loved this feeling of letting go.

Zhang Lu, like Chuxia, enjoyed the thrilling attractions, laughing and playing.

Cen Huai’an skated alone, zoning out.

Jiang Weixi, who didn’t know how to skate yet, was being guided by the staff.

Seeing how much fun Chuxia and the others were having, she eagerly wanted to join.

However, the staff strictly followed the boss’s instructions, keeping a watchful eye on her and guiding her but not letting her enter the main area.

The rink was full of trendy young people, swaying to the music.

Their attention focused on the more eye-catching individuals.

Chuxia’s hair was styled high today, and she wore flared jeans and a long black coat, which seemed mismatched with the rink’s relaxed atmosphere.

However, when she took off the coat and changed into a short black leather jacket, her charm was undeniable as she glided across the rink.

Especially when she played on the thrilling facilities, anyone who looked at her couldn’t take their eyes off her.

It wasn’t just her attire but also her unique aura and outstanding looks.

Jiang Zhida saw many men’s gazes lingering on Chuxia from outside the rink.

He signaled to the staff, knowing how his cousin Cen Zhengnian treated Chuxia.

He couldn’t afford to let his cousin see her being flirted with at Yunmengze, or he’d be in for a beating.

Chuxia stopped, adjusted her wind-tousled hair, and was about to head outside to rest and get something to drink.

A young man in a brown leather jacket skated up to her, “Hi, beautiful, let me introduce myself! I…”

Before he could finish, Chuxia waved her hand to refuse. “Sorry, I’m married and don’t want to meet you.”

With that, Chuxia turned to skate away, but the man’s expression changed, and he reached out to grab her. “Hey, don’t go! Let’s skate together. You should come up with a better excuse than that!”

“Bang!” Before the man’s hand could reach Chu Xia, a foot kicked him hard in the backside, sending him crashing onto the ice rink.

The man’s companions and the onlookers around all burst into laughter.

The way the man fell was just too funny.

“Who! Who kicked me!”

The man was fuming, his face turning red.

At this moment, the staff who hadn’t managed to get there in time and Jiang Zhida arrived.

The other staff dispersed the curious spectators, while Chu Xia, holding Cen Huai’an, said, “It was my son who kicked him. What do you want to do?”

The man looked at them in shock, his face alternating between white and red, visibly enraged.

“Damn you…” He recognized Chu Xia as a beautiful woman but lost face.

He started yelling curses at Chu Xia and Cen Huai’an.

“You know who my brother is? He’s the boss of Yunmengze! You’re finished!”

“Take him away,” Jiang Zhida, who had just arrived, said, frowning at the man with visible anger.

The man struggled desperately, still cursing Jiang Zhida and Chu Xia.

Jiang Zhida’s frown deepened, and his demeanor became intimidating, completely different from his usual carefree self: “Gag him. By the way, I’m also the boss of Yunmengze. Later, I want to have a good talk with you about who your brother is.”

Once the staff took the man away, Jiang Zhida quickly asked Chu Xia and Huai’an if they were okay.

Zhang Lu had just skated over, looking protective of Chu Xia and Cen Huai’an.

“We’re fine.”

Jiang Zhida felt quite apologetic: “This kind of thing has never happened at the ice rink before.”

There had been attempts to flirt before, but they were always dismissed with just a smile.

None had escalated to the point of physical confrontation.

Chu Xia shook her head: “It’s nothing. There will always be such arrogant, uncouth men wherever you go.”

Cen Huai’an’s face was tightly set, and he was visibly angry.

If Chu Xia hadn’t stopped him, he would have beaten the man when he was cursing.

“Mom, you should have let me beat him up,” Cen Huai’an said, his eyes still carrying a hint of hostility.

“There’s no need to dirty your hands on such a scum. And with the ice rink being slippery, even if you’re skilled in martial arts, a big man struggling might hurt you. There are other ways to vent your anger.”

Because the incident had indeed marred the experience for some at the ice rink, Jiang Zhida announced with the microphone: “To make up for today’s disturbance, everyone can get a free drink and snack from the counter later!”

Yunmengze’s drinks and snacks included both purchased and homemade items. The homemade ones were expensive but particularly tasty, often something people liked but couldn’t afford to buy frequently.

Today, they were being given away for free, and the young people at the ice rink immediately became excited and rushed to grab drinks and snacks.

As for the man who had been taken away, he deserved it.

Who told him to be so uncouth and aggressive?

Chu Xia, having experienced the incident, no longer felt like skating.

The group changed their shoes and left.

Jiang Weixi had also wanted to help her aunt and brother but was stopped by the staff.

She was too young, and running over could result in accidental harm.

Now, she stood in front of Chu Xia and Cen Huai’an, raising her little fist and saying with an angry face: “Auntie, Xixi will help you fight bad guys!”

Chu Xia, hearing her adorable words, smiled and rubbed her little face: “Thank you, Xixi. The bad guy has already been dealt with by your little uncle.”

Jiang Weixi hugged Chu Xia and patted her back with her small hand, saying: “Auntie, don’t be afraid. Xixi will protect you.”

Chu Xia felt her heart melt at her embrace, and with Cen Huai’an and Zhang Lu’s protection, she was not only unscared but also felt warm inside.

“You’re amazing, Xixi!”

Cen Huai’an and Zhang Lu also praised her.

With the cheerful Jiang Weixi around, the unpleasant atmosphere from the earlier incident began to dissipate.

Jiang Zhida took Chu Xia and the others to a large private room with a billiards table.

This room had various entertainment options for guests to enjoy.

“Cousin-in-law, An’an, I’ll handle the issue with that scumbag. You all play here. If you want anything to eat or drink, just let the staff at the door know.”

“Okay.”

Cen Huai’an stood up and grabbed Jiang Zhida’s arm: “Uncle, I want to come with you.”

Jiang Zhida glanced at Chu Xia, who nodded: “Let him go.”

Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi also wanted to go but were refused by Jiang Zhida.

Chu Xia understood Cen Huai’an’s temperament.

If he didn’t see how Jiang Zhida dealt with the man, he would keep thinking about it and might become obsessed.

He had a bit of stubbornness, especially when it came to matters involving Chu Xia.

Cen Huai’an was even more upset than she would be about things that affected her.

Chu Xia was also worried but couldn’t follow An’an around for everything.

She had to trust him and Jiang Zhida’s handling skills.

In the private room, the TV was turned on, and the table was filled with food.

Zhang Lu and Chu Xia had no interest in watching or eating, and even Jiang Weixi kept staring at the room’s door, waiting for Jiang Zhida and Cen Huai’an to return.

Time seemed to drag on endlessly until the door finally opened.
