It was already half past six when the makeup and hair were done; several people hurried downstairs, and Xiao Jie had already brought some bodyguards to wait downstairs.
In this way, Lan Zi helped Xu Xia into the car, under the protection of Xiao Jie and several bodyguards in two cars, heading to the hotel opening site.
The grand new hotel was not far from where Xu Xia lived; after a dozen minutes, the three cars had already driven into the venue, where countless bodyguards in black suits were managing reception and security with orderliness.
The hotel owner evidently had a considerable network; the parking lot was filled with luxury cars, comparable to a luxury car show.
Despite this, when Xu Xia’s car entered the venue, it still attracted quite a number of glances.
Arriving with three cars, all of which were valuable, as soon as the cars stopped, well-trained bodyguards jumped out from the front and back cars; guests who had just arrived or were preparing to enter were all curiously trying to see who might come out of these cars.
Xiao Jie opened the car door; Xu Xia extended her leg out of the car, with slender, straight calves paired with ten-inch golden crystal high heels.
Then, she emerged from the car, appearing in everyone’s line of sight.
With her tall figure, untamed wild vibe, and somewhat European-like deep features, she easily captured the gaze of many men.
Yet Xu Xia did not even glance at the crowd, accompanied by Lan Zi and under the protection of Xiao Jie and others, walking onto the red carpet.
"I recognize her, she’s Xu Xia!" a Chinese-American girl exclaimed.
"So it’s her!"
"I didn’t expect her to be in Italy!"
"Just a celebrity, yet such a grand entrance?"
...
Upon hearing the name Xu Xia, many people revealed expressions of sudden realization.
In recent years, Xu Xia had become quite famous among the Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, even in America and Europe. Her voice was naturally bold, and her singing skill could rival major stars in Europe and America. Moreover, this year she acted in a movie by Emperor View, her deep features easily recognized by Europe and America, even in a supporting role, she has gained significant fame.
"Miss Qing Qing, hello!"
Lan Zi smiled as she walked to the bottom of the stairs, greeting Lei Qingqing who stood on the steps.
"Welcome, everyone." Lei Qingqing also smiled politely as she walked down from the steps.
Tonight, she was also wearing a formal dress; due to her personality, she never liked too many colors, and thus chose a black formal dress, which was, however, strapless, appearing even more simple and crisp.
"Let me introduce you!" Lan Zi stood sideways between the two women, "Xu Xia, this is the hotel manager, Miss Qing Qing!"
"Hello, Miss Qing Qing." Xu Xia courteously extended her hand, "Miss Xu is truly young and capable, able to manage such a large hotel."
"Thank you!" Lei Qingqing smiled as she shook her hand, "I’ve heard of Miss Xu’s reputation for a long time; it’s an honor to have Miss Xu attend the hotel’s opening ceremony today."
Xu Xia smiled, "The honor is mine."
She initially thought that such a large hotel and its investment manager would be someone not young; who would have thought it would be a girl similar in age to her? Xu Xia always appreciated capable girls, plus Lei Qingqing’s competence also made her appreciative, hence her first impression of Lei Qingqing was quite favorable.
The reporters had already gathered around. Xu Xia posed for photos with Lei Qingqing, cooperating well with the photographers.
