The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1352 - 524: Lesson (Part 2)

Zhou Wang, who had been silent all along, was almost amused by this unscrupulous boss.

In the city, "the geographic center" and "the commercial center" are obviously two different concepts; you can only say he understands the literal meaning.

"You..."

Shen Yutong obviously didn’t expect the boss to be so shameless, and was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, yet she didn’t know what to say.

"But... but even if everything you mentioned is true, this room couldn’t possibly be worth 1888!"

Yu Duo spoke up boldly for the first time, saying indignantly, "Even in a star-rated hotel, it wouldn’t cost this much, would it?"

"Is this your first time in Peng City?"

The boss smirked with disdain as he spoke, "This is a top-tier city. Do you know how much the housing prices are here? 1888 is just a discounted rate for newcomers; it usually costs over 2000. This price is already very cheap for you."

Su Yajing and the others were rendered speechless. Essentially, as merely third-year students, they ultimately lacked social experience.

Among them, Su Yajing had quite a complex life experience and was considered relatively experienced, but compared to this seasoned guesthouse owner, she was still quite naive.

Seeing Zhou Wang still silent, Shen Yutong took a deep breath and stood up to say, "Boss, you’re selling sheep’s heads while selling dog meat. Either you refund our room and transportation fees, or we’ll lodge a complaint on the platform."

"Complaint?"

The boss sneered, "Do as you please. But let me remind you, I don’t know what the outcome of a complaint would be, but if you choose this route, then sorry, not only won’t you get a refund on the room fee, but also don’t even think about getting back your room fee and deposit."

"You..."

"Calm down, I’m not finished."

Just as Shen Yutong was about to explode, the boss, with a smile, continued, "Either stay peacefully and give me a five-star rating, then I may consider giving you a discount. The room fee that was originally 1888 per night, I’ll only charge you 1500. How’s that, a bargain, right?"

Seeing Su Yajing and others momentarily speechless, the boss flashed a victorious smile.

"Then wish you all a happy stay. Oh, and because there’s a problem with the water meter, there’ll be no hot water until after eight in the evening. If you want to shower, please wait until then."

With that, the boss shut the door and left on his own.

Su Yajing then discreetly glanced at Zhou Wang, seeing that he didn’t seem angry, she felt somewhat relieved. However, she still didn’t understand why Zhou Wang hadn’t spoken or reacted, leaving her anxious as she twisted her fingers and said:

"Ladies, why don’t we find another place to stay?"

"Finding another place is possible, but what about the room fee already spent? The way that boss talked, it seems the deposit won’t be refunded either. We booked for two days, and that’s nearly six thousand yuan."

Shen Yutong frowned, "Is it really okay to just give it to him? I feel so unwilling..."

"Or... why not just stay one night and decide tomorrow?"

At this point, after sneaking a glance at Zhou Wang fiddling with his phone on the sofa, Yu Duo timidly voiced her opinion.

"I think that’s fine."

Cui Min’er, looking rather discontented, finally spoke up, "I’m unfamiliar with the situation in Huaxia, but where I come from, such complaints may not be very effective. Besides, we’re only staying in Peng City for two days, so we can tolerate it..."

Cui Min’er actually had her own unspeakable predicament: the room fees are to be shared among the five of them, and if they were to book a hotel again, there’d be additional expenses. Thousands of yuan wouldn’t be much for Su Yajing, but if the refund isn’t prompt, she’d be financially strained in booking a new hotel.

However, this reasoning couldn’t be expressed, which is why, despite Cui Min’er being the most dissatisfied with the poor conditions, she hadn’t spoken up.

"Then let’s split the rooms, ladies, you can choose first. We’ll stay one night, and I’ll take some time to check out options, and we’ll move to another hotel tomorrow..."

Su Yajing forced a smile, indicating the other three girls to pick their rooms first.

Three rooms were originally arranged with Su Yajing and Zhou Wang sharing one, Yu Duo and Shen Yutong another, and the severely germophobic Cui Min’er in a room by herself.

Upon hearing about room allocation, Cui Min’er didn’t hesitate, dragging her suitcase and choosing the only secondary bedroom with a window.

She didn’t dare to compete for the master bedroom, after all, the man who left her a severe psychological shadow was still sitting there, and Cui Min’er kept a bit of discretion.

Yu Duo and Shen Yutong also went to place their luggage in the smallest bedroom, as for Su Yajing, after biting her lip, she sat beside Zhou Wang, nervously whispering:

"Brother..."

"What’s up?"

Diverting his gaze from the phone screen, Zhou Wang smiled at Su Yajing.

"You... you’re not angry, right?"

Su Yajing cautiously checked Zhou Wang’s eyes.

"I wouldn’t get angry over something like this."

Zhou Wang shook his head, "It’s just..."

"Just what?"

Su Yajing picked up on Zhou Wang’s hesitation, just about to inquire further, when suddenly a scream erupted from the bedroom Cui Min’er had entered.

Zhou Wang reacted first, holding back the other three girls who were also about to step forward, he rushed to the bedroom door, but only reached the doorway when Cui Min’er already had opened the door and dashed out.

Zhou Wang hadn’t yet reacted when Cui Min’er threw herself into his arms, clutching him tightly.
