A deposit of 2.5 million for a luxury suite was already outrageous.
But the presidential suite required a deposit of 7 million!
Why don't you just rob us!?
No matter how dazzling Lu Jiancheng's entrance had been earlier, at this moment, he wanted to quickly turn off the lights and projections and leave as inconspicuously as possible.
He felt heartache over the cost of the luxury suite.
Because this was not what he had expected at all.
Didn’t Baidu say it started at one million?
How did it become a deposit of 2.5 million?
Damn it, it's a scam!
At this moment.
Lu Jiancheng hesitated.
“Baby, how about we change to…”
Whoosh!
Tian Chengcheng turned her head, staring at Lu Jiancheng with eyes that could kill: “Do you not love me?”
Hiss~
“Love! Of course, I love you! But…”
“Loving me isn’t just words; you have to show it with actions!”
After Tian Chengcheng finished speaking, she shouted to the service staff: “Book us the luxury suite!”
“Okay.” The service staff nodded with a smile, operated for a while, and then asked Lu Jiancheng, “Sir, will you be paying by card or?”
“Ca-card!”
Lu Jiancheng pulled out his bank card with a green face.
In his heart, he was cursing Tian Chengcheng’s ancestors up to eighteen generations.
Wasteful woman!
Damn it! With this money, I could book a club membership for a year!
Despite his anger and complaints, the wedding still had to happen.
Not only because Tian Chengcheng was the school beauty during university, but also because her parents could help him in business.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he had to go through with the wedding~
He had to spend this money~
But it was painful~~
Feeling annoyed, Lu Jiancheng glanced around and targeted Ye Xiu.
Having spent so much money, he needed to show off.
This pretense had to be witnessed by others to have any real value!
Immediately.
Lu Jiancheng smiled at Ye Xiu and said, “Ye Xiu, you’ve probably never attended a wedding with a deposit of over two million, right?”
Ye Xiu: “Indeed, I haven’t.”
Lu Jiancheng laughed: “This is your first time at the Pangu Hotel, right?”
Ye Xiu: “Yes, it is.”
Lu Jiancheng felt a bit better: “Don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to come. When I hold my wedding banquet, I’ll definitely send you an invitation.
Then, not only can you come, but you can also eat king crab, emperor shrimp, and all sorts of delicacies that only upper-class people can afford!
I guarantee you’ll never get to eat these in your lifetime otherwise!
Rest assured, we’re old classmates. I, Lu Jiancheng, always keep my word. I won’t forget you.”
Seemingly out of old classmates' affection, but actually just showing off.
Thanks a lot.
Ye Xiu smiled: “Alright, I’ll definitely come.”
“Hmm, make sure you do!”
Lu Jiancheng, with a "I’m the protagonist" demeanor, smiled at Ye Xiu.
After saying this, he turned to leave.
But after taking two steps, he found Ye Xiu still standing at the counter.
Lu Jiancheng laughed: “Ye Xiu, what are you doing?
It’s time to go.
Don’t tell me you’re so mesmerized by this place's luxury that you’ve lost yourself?”
Ye Xiu turned around: “Oh, you guys go first, I have something to do.”
Something to do?
Lu Jiancheng laughed. You, Ye Xiu, have something to do? At the Pangu Hotel?
What could you possibly have to do!
You just want to separate from us to ease your embarrassment, right?
These old tricks, who doesn’t know them?
Want me to leave first to ease your awkwardness?
Hehe! I won’t!
I just love to see you embarrassed!
Lu Jiancheng held his girlfriend and said, “It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“Alright.”
Ye Xiu replied, then turned to the service staff and said, “Call your manager over; I have something to discuss with him.”
Hearing this, Lu Jiancheng almost burst out laughing.
Calling the manager, do you think you’re the owner of the hotel?
Can you just casually call for the manager?
The service staff didn’t show any disdain despite Ye Xiu’s simple attire. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Sir, may I know your name?”
Ye Xiu smiled and said, “My name is Ye, Ye Xiu.”
The service staff’s face changed slightly: “Please wait a moment.”
Then she immediately called the manager.
Seeing this, Lu Jiancheng almost laughed out loud.
Ye Xiu, do you really think that as a ride-hailing driver, you have any connection to a seven-star hotel?
Ha!
I’ll just watch quietly~
I love seeing you get awkward and unable to keep up the pretense~
Soon, the service lady hung up the phone, her eyes shining brightly, and with an incredibly charming smile, she said, “Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, the manager will be right here~”
Lu Jiancheng’s smile froze~
Mr. Ye?
Suddenly, something felt off.
Soon.
Ding.
With the sound of the elevator, the doors opened, and a middle-aged man quickly walked toward Ye Xiu.
He hadn’t even reached Ye Xiu when he extended his hand enthusiastically, exclaiming, “Ah, boss, why didn’t you give us a heads-up before coming? I would have prepared a feast to welcome you!”
Lu Jiancheng’s face was no longer smiling, and he felt a bit dumbfounded: Welcome?
Ye Xiu smiled and said, “I just happened to be passing by, no need for a big fuss.”
The manager enthusiastically responded, “Haha, I understand, I understand the boss’s style~ but we can’t skip the ceremony. You must stay for dinner tonight and taste the skills of our top chef at the Pangu Hotel.”
“Alright.” Ye Xiu smiled. “But for now, why don’t you show me around? This is my first time here.”
“No problem, boss, please follow me~”
“Okay.”
Ye Xiu nodded, then turned to Lu Jiancheng and said, “Lu Jiancheng, you guys go ahead, I might stay here tonight.”
Lu Jiancheng: “……”
He was starting to have a hard time processing this.
You were just driving for a ride-hailing service, and now you’re telling me you’re staying here tonight?
Ye Xiu took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned around: “I’ll definitely attend your engagement banquet, see you then.”
After saying this, he followed the manager into the elevator.
Lu Jiancheng: “……”
Internally, he felt a massive blow.
The service lady suddenly approached with a smile: “Sir, due to your spending level, we have prepared a gold VIP membership card for you, please keep it.”
Lu Jiancheng: “Wait, who exactly is Ye Xiu to you?”
The service lady smiled: “He’s our boss, the entire Pangu Hotel belongs to him.”
She then walked away.
Lu Jiancheng: “……”
He felt a mental blow of 999+.
Looking down at the membership card in his hand, Lu Jiancheng fell into deep thought.
The entire Pangu Hotel belongs to Ye Xiu?
I booked an engagement banquet in Ye Xiu’s hotel?
A luxury suite with a deposit of 2.5 million, how much is the annual revenue of the Pangu Hotel?
What is Ye Xiu’s net worth?
I spent 2.5 million trying to show off in front of him?
Lu Jiancheng was utterly defeated~
He quickly grabbed his girlfriend and left in a hurry.
Outside the hotel, he flagged down an approaching taxi: “Taxi!”
The car stopped.
The two quickly got in, and after getting some distance from the Pangu Hotel, Lu Jiancheng finally breathed a little easier.
Looking at the bustling scenery outside, Lu Jiancheng’s eyes were filled with a sense of desolation~
Why?
Why exactly?
Why can’t I outshine Ye Xiu?
Why does he always win when it comes to showing off?
Why!?
As Lu Jiancheng was feeling overwhelmed with frustration, Tian Chengcheng beside him suddenly spoke with bright eyes, “Lu Jiancheng, that old classmate of yours… is really handsome~~”
Pffft!
Lu Jiancheng spat a mouthful of blood onto the car window~~~
He felt an internal blow of 999999999+.
