Chapter 22 Century Dance

Gulu, gulu, gulu.
CC sat on the edge of the dance floor, holding a glass of red wine and gulping it down. She had already lost count of how many glasses she had drunk... Not that the red wine was particularly good. It was just that she felt it was a waste of such an expensive ticket to come in and not eat or drink.

Gulu, gulu, gulu.
CC sat on the edge of the dance floor, holding a glass of red wine and gulping it down. She had already lost count of how many glasses she had drunk... Not that the red wine was particularly good. It was just that she felt it was a waste of such an expensive ticket to come in and not eat or drink her fill.
This was the Century Dance, an annual top-tier social event. As a newly wealthy individual, CC was fortunate enough to be invited to participate and naturally wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. She looked around, seeing elites from all walks of life, all dressed impeccably and behaving elegantly. She couldn't help but feel a little envious of these people, who belonged to the social circles she had long aspired to join.

Just as CC was lost in her thoughts, a familiar figure appeared before her. It was her old friend Lily. They hadn't seen each other for years, and now they were meeting here.
"CC, long time no see! I didn't expect you to attend this event too," Lily greeted enthusiastically.

"Lily, I really didn't expect to meet you here," CC said with some surprise. "It's my first time here, and I feel a bit out of place."

"Don't worry, the people here are very friendly. Just relax and enjoy yourself," Lily said with a smile. "By the way, did you come alone? Would you like me to introduce you to some friends?"

"No, I'm fine on my own," CC politely declined Lily's offer. "I just want to quietly enjoy the atmosphere here."

Lily nodded and didn't say much more, simply smiling and leaving.

CC once again sat alone in her chair, watching the dancers swirling on the dance floor. She couldn't help but lament that these people were all social elites, while she was just a newly wealthy individual. Compared to them, she was far behind.

Just then, a man walked up to CC, extended his hand, and said, "Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"

CC was a little surprised but still took his hand and stood up.

"It's a pleasure to dance with you," the man said with a smile.

The two slowly entered the dance floor and began a gentle, slow dance to the elegant music.

CC felt as if she were in a dream. This stranger gave her a sense of security she had never felt before. She forgot her identity, forgot her anxieties, and simply immersed herself in the beautiful dance.

As the music gradually reached its climax, their dance steps became more intense. CC felt as if she had transformed into an elegant swan, soaring through the sky.

When the music finally stopped, the two stopped dancing. The man gently released CC's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for the dance. This was the most wonderful moment of my evening."

CC nodded a little reluctantly and watched the man leave. She felt as if she had awakened from a dream and returned to reality.

She sat back in her chair, watching the crowd on the dance floor. This time, a hint of confidence and expectation appeared in her eyes. Her experience of dancing with the stranger had made her feel her own charm and worth.

She looked around and noticed that more and more eyes were focused on her. It turned out that their wonderful dance had attracted the attention of the crowd. CC couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling as if she had become the focus of this dance.

Just then, another man walked over and extended his hand to CC. "Beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

CC took his hand without hesitation and stood up. This time, her dance steps were more confident and elegant, as if she were showing everyone her charm.

More and more people on the dance floor were drawn to CC's presence. Some marveled at her graceful and captivating dance moves, while others envied her ability to dance with so many wealthy individuals. CC felt her status steadily rising and her heart filled with confidence and satisfaction.

When this dance also ended, CC had become the star of the dance. Wealthy businessmen from all walks of life came forward to invite her to dance, hoping to establish connections with this newly rich woman. CC smiled and agreed to each request, knowing this was a rare opportunity to further expand her social circle.

Throughout the night, CC was immersed in this feeling of being the center of attention. She felt like she had found her place, no longer an outsider. This Century Dance became the most wonderful night of her life.

When the last dance ended, CC was exhausted but her heart was full of satisfaction and pride. She knew that from this day on, she would officially become a member of this circle, beginning a new chapter in her life.

CC walked off the dance floor, feeling light on her feet. The dance she just had filled her with unprecedented joy and confidence.

She looked around and saw that more and more people were looking at her with admiration. This made her feel incredibly proud, as if she had become the leading lady of the dance.

Just then, a woman in a black evening dress walked over and extended her hand to CC, "You danced wonderfully, I admire your dance moves. I am the organizer of this dance, and I am very happy to meet you."

CC took the hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, it was the inspiration brought by the dance party you carefully planned."

"Oh, you are too modest," the organizer said with a smile. "I heard that you are a newly rich woman who has risen recently. I would like to invite you to participate in some of our private events. I hope you can join our circle."

CC was overjoyed, this was the opportunity she had always longed for. She quickly said, "I am honored to be invited by you. I will definitely participate actively."

The organizer nodded and introduced CC to several important figures. CC carefully noted their names and backgrounds, afraid of missing any important connections.

In this way, CC gradually integrated into this high-end social circle. She chatted with wealthy businessmen and celebrities from all walks of life, showing her conversation skills and unique charm. Everyone looked at this newly rich woman with admiration and extended olive branches to her.

CC felt as if she were in a whole new world. The people here are all social elites, and their lifestyles and values are completely different from hers. But she did not feel repelled, but full of longing and yearning for this kind of life.

When the last dance music sounded, CC once again walked onto the dance floor and danced with another rich businessman. Her dance moves became more elegant and moving, as if she were showing everyone her charm and status.

That night, CC completely integrated into this high-end social circle. She knew that from this day on, her life would undergo earth-shattering changes.
