NFBE Chapter 16: So Real
Chapter 16: So Real
"Eat! Forget it! Don't forget, for the next three days, you're going to serve me tea and water and take good care of me." Qin Fen once again raised the stakes.
Liu Kexin's face darkened, feeling extremely annoyed. How could she have made that bet! She really had a sharp tongue.
To prevent Qin Fen from making her more upset, she remained silent for the rest of the journey and focused on driving.
Lacking the joy of conversation, Qin Fen could only sit helplessly in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Jiangdu Grand Hotel, as one of the top hotels in the country, is located in the center of Jiangdu City and occupies a large area of land. In Jiangdu City, where land is extremely valuable, some people have calculated that this piece of land alone is worth at least several billion yuan.
As Liu Kexin parked her Volkswagen in the parking lot outside the Jiangdu Hotel, the three of them got out of the car and headed straight for the hotel entrance.
Two girls walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing as they went, while Qin Fen, left behind, was drawn to the various luxury cars in the parking lot.
Sports cars and sedans worth millions were everywhere, and even several limited edition sports cars worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars were parked there. The men and women heading to the hotel entrance were all dressed in designer brands. Not to mention the men, none of the women were ugly, and they were dressed in revealing clothes, which gave Qin Fen a good feast for the eyes.
Because they had only taken a quick look around, by the time they arrived at the hotel entrance, Qian Duoduo and Liu Kexin had already gone inside. Qin Fen lagged behind, arriving at the bottom of the gilded staircase. From the outside, one could glimpse the magnificent interior. Several maids stood at the entrance, dressed in cheongsams, their hands clasped politely in front of their abdomens, their heads bowed, showing utmost respect.
Above the hotel entrance hangs a sign with four brightly colored characters that flash: "Jiangdu Hotel".
The thought of having a meal in a place I never dared to even imagine before brought a bitter smile to my face. Money is indeed a good thing.
Just as they were about to walk inside.
Who knew!
Just as he stepped onto the stairs, a neatly dressed male supervisor in a suit and tie, with a flower pinned to his breast pocket, reached out a hand and blocked his way with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Those who are not properly dressed are not permitted to enter."
"What! Inappropriate clothing." Qin Fen was taken aback. After a moment's thought, he looked at himself and saw that his clothes were only worth about a hundred yuan from a street stall. This guy was just looking down on him because he was poor, and wouldn't even let him into the hotel.
He couldn't help but get angry: "Hey! What do you mean? Do you think I can't afford this meal?"
The male supervisor gave him a disdainful look, fanned his nose with his hand, and said with contempt, "Tch! With clothes like that, you dare to come in and eat? Don't you want to pollute the air and cause our customers to catch some disease? That would be a huge sin on my part."
"You..." Qin Fen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and calmed the anger in his heart.
Over the years, poverty and his status as an orphan have often led to him being looked down upon, which has tempered his character and made him mature.
Moreover, he already possesses the wealth to buy ten hotels in Jiangdu, so why is he arguing with a watchdog now?
He couldn't help but look towards the hotel entrance, but unfortunately, Liu Kexin and Qian Duoduo were so engrossed in their conversation that they went inside without noticing that he was being stopped at the door.
Moreover, even if he found out, Qin Fen could guess that these two girls would definitely take the opportunity to trick him because of the bet on the game that morning. Not only would they not help him, but they would also stand at the hotel entrance and gloat over his embarrassment.
How to do!
Force your way in!
Looking around, they saw several burly security guards with stun batons in their hands, drawn by the commotion.
Although he had been trained since childhood and Uncle Yang had taught him a few tricks, he could handle a few ordinary thugs, but he was not confident that he could withstand the impact of a strong voltage. Moreover, someone who could work as a security guard at the Jiangdu Hotel was probably quite capable.
It seems we'll have to find another way.
She glanced around and saw dignitaries getting out of luxury cars, elegant rich women, and beautiful young ladies passing by. The male manager, smiling like a foxtail grass and bowing at a 90-degree angle, greeted her as she entered the hotel.
Looking at their clothes, which cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, it seems that my clothes really do affect the city's appearance.
Unfortunately, by the time he goes to buy some nice clothes and comes back, the sun will probably be setting.
Just as he finished feeling down, he saw a very flirtatious young woman leading a teddy bear dog, stepping onto the hotel entrance amidst the compliments of the male manager.
Even more surprisingly, when the Teddy dog reached the gate, it lifted its leg and peed on the door frame. The male supervisor grinned and praised the Teddy dog for its excellent urination, saying it exuded an air of wealth and nobility, which made the young woman laugh heartily and jump around like a rabbit.
Damn it! Qin Fen realized that this meant he was less than a dog at this moment.
Since society is so realistic, Qin Fen no longer intends to be a law-abiding citizen, so he wants to throw out his Dragon Card and give this male foreman a good slap in the face.
He was pushed from behind and almost stumbled. After regaining his balance, Qin Fen turned around and saw that the person who had pushed him was a burly man in a suit and sunglasses, who looked like a bodyguard.
Beside him walked a bald man in his fifties, dressed in loose casual clothes that couldn't hide his large belly. Judging from his demeanor, he was clearly a wealthy and powerful person.
Qin Fen wanted to stop them and argue with them, but he noticed that behind them was a middle-aged man in his fifties, whose angry expression was mixed with a hint of confusion.
“Mr. Wang, this investment is really important to our Blue Star Group,” the man said in a humble voice as he followed.
"Old Wu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but Blue Star made a strategic mistake this time, resulting in such huge losses. How can we trust you with this money?" The obese General Manager Wang, perhaps getting impatient, turned and retorted to Old Wu.
"Mr. Wang, you have to trust us. With this money, we will definitely be able to complete this project, and the return on investment will be enormous."
"Old Wu, let me tell you the truth. Our board of directors has unanimously decided to invest this money in Zhenyu Group, so you don't need to think about it anymore."
"What? Zhenyu Group!" Old Wu's face showed surprise. Zhenyu Group was their group's biggest enemy. The two groups had basically the same business. If Zhenyu Group got this investment, it would be a disaster for their Blue Star Group.
"Alright, that's enough! Give up on that idea!" Old Wang looked at Old Wu's shocked expression, a hint of mockery on his lips, and said this before ushering the male supervisor into the Jiangdu Hotel in a servile manner.
Old Wu, however, seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant, his face full of worry as he lowered his head and prepared to turn and leave.
After taking only a few steps, he noticed a figure standing in front of him. Old Wu looked up at the young man dressed in cheap clothes, his face full of confusion: "Young man, is there something you need?"
Qin Fen smiled slightly: "How much money do you need?"
