Chapter 21: The Feeling of Showing Off Is Really Cool
(Today's first update, Youmeng had a heat stroke today and may not be able to post for everyone. Let me see if there are any friends who can help me post!)
The receptionist frowned at the sight of a few people's dress, but due to work relationship still asked: "What can I do for you?" However, her tone was not as good as that towards other customers.
Tang Feng hated this kind of person who looked down on others, and coldly hummed: "Trouble to open 2 double rooms and a single room for me."
The receptionist shook her head and muttered to herself: "Nowadays, people really have no self-awareness. What kind of place is this where anyone can afford to live? Hopefully, they won't be scared to death by the housing prices later."
Although the voice was small, it was heard clearly by Tang Feng. Before Tang Feng could speak, Xu Qiang said: "Damn, are you looking for trouble? Dare to look down on us, I'll tell you, don't be a dog who looks at people with low eyes."
Xu Qiang's voice was very loud, and the surrounding guests turned their heads to look over, even some people said to those next to them: "Nowadays, oh my, there's no way to say it, but with farmers like them living here? It's really unbelievable, if they can afford it, I'll book a presidential suite for a month." The people around burst out laughing and echoed in agreement.
Tang Feng was about to get angry, but Yin Fei pulled his arm and said loudly: "Brother, we don't have money, we can't afford to live here. But we're better than those flashy guys who are actually worthless. Let's go."
Tang Feng nodded in approval and looked at Yin Fei, saying loudly: "Miss, stop looking." After a pause, the front desk miss had an expression of watching a good show and said: "What's wrong, sir? Is the money you brought not enough?" The word 'you' was pronounced particularly heavily.
With a scornful smile, Tang Feng said: "I've changed my mind. Would you please arrange for us to have a presidential suite? I think it should be able to accommodate the five of us. If not, then book two rooms."
Tang Feng's words caused the people around him to start discussing again, and occasionally there were comments like "He's just pretending to be rich, he'll definitely have no money to pay the bill later."
The front desk lady was still in a daze, and Wang Sheng furrowed his brow, saying: "Hurry up, what are you spacing out for? Later on, if we're not happy, you'll be the one to suffer."
The front desk lady said vaguely: "Oh, oh okay, the presidential suite is 18,888 yuan per night." She then handed over the card reader.
Tang Feng smiled slyly and said: "Who says I want to swipe a card? Can't I pay in cash?"
The receptionist Miss Zhang opened her mouth and said slowly: "Well, of course, it's possible, but are you sure you want to pay in cash?"
Tang Feng didn't say a word, and looked at Guan Zhiyong who was carrying the suitcase. Guan Zhiyong nodded, put the suitcase on the marble table, opened it, and started taking out money while counting: "Ten thousand, twenty thousand." After taking out two bundles of cash, Guan Zhiyong picked up the suitcase again, and "accidentally" spilled the rest of the money all over the floor.
The guests and staff around were stunned by the scattered money, who had ever seen someone carrying so much cash? Nowadays, everything is paid by card, and it's rare for people to carry more than 10,000 yuan in cash. But these people, dressed in shabby clothes, are carrying so much cash, at least tens of millions. What do they do? They can't be bank robbers, right? If they were, wouldn't they be low-key instead of staying in a hotel? Some self-proclaimed smart people quickly thought that Tang Feng and the others must have a special identity, and some even planned to go up and make friends with them.
Tang Feng ignored the strange looks from the people around him, stretched his waist and said to the front desk lady: "Miss, hurry up, we need to rest. The remaining amount can be considered as a tip, can you give me the key now?"
The front desk lady mechanically handed over the key and said, "Sir, your room is 2222 on the top floor. This is your key. We don't accept tips here, please wait a moment." As she spoke, she was typing something on the computer. At this moment, her tone was so respectful.
Tang Feng didn't wait for the receptionist to find the money and walked towards the elevator, Xu Qiang followed at the end. Under the pressure of his strong and somewhat terrifying physique, those who wanted to come up and make friends also stopped in their tracks.
Just as they reached the elevator, Tang Feng seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to face the man who had just insulted him, saying: "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you were just saying that you wanted to book a presidential suite for a month. You don't look like someone who can't afford tens of thousands of dollars." Then he turned to the front desk receptionist and said: "Please help this gentleman open a presidential suite, just one month will do. I think he'll be happy to hand over his credit card to you."
The man's face was as colorful as it could get, jokingly, he was just a department manager of a small company, here on a business trip, and he couldn't even afford to stay in the most ordinary room, let alone be put up in the presidential suite for a whole month? He wouldn't be able to afford it even if he sold himself.
That man was about to slip away quietly, but Guan Zhiyong's words scared him so much that he didn't dare move: "My brother's words have never been unfulfilled. If you walk out of this door today, you'd better pray that we don't find you. Otherwise, your second half of life will be very interesting. I heard that Africa is experiencing famine again and they seem to like eating human flesh. Hehe, but with our abilities, it's not difficult to find one or two people." After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at the man, this was Guan Zhiyong's first sentence spoken today.
What Guan Zhiyong said was absolutely intimidating, not to mention that they didn't have the power at the time, even if they did, they wouldn't be bored to this extent. However, others didn't know, and the scene where the banknotes were scattered all over the floor and several people acted as if nothing had happened had already intimidated everyone. Now their words are credible in the hearts of the crowd, and that poor man was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption, coincidentally, he just happened to be in the same prison where Tang Feng and others had served their sentence, only in a different district. When he arrived at the prison and saw the photos of Tang Feng and others from back then, he reportedly went crazy.
Tang Feng and several others were about to get on the elevator when they were stopped by someone. Turning around, they saw a hot and sexy woman who was probably around thirty years old.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I am the manager of this hotel. I have already heard about what happened earlier. As the person in charge of this hotel, I feel deeply sorry. The fees for all of you will be waived as an apology from me. If there are any other conditions you would like to make, we will try our best to satisfy them."
The manager knew something was wrong after hearing the whole story from his subordinate. Such a person must have a very strong background, and if she gets angry, her own days will be difficult to pass. So he hurriedly came in person to apologize. If she finds out that Tang Feng and others are just ordinary fugitives, I don't know if she will go crazy like the man before.
Tang Feng sneered, "No need to bother, this amount of money is nothing to me. However, I'm very disappointed in your hotel and can't understand how a place with such low quality still has customers. To be honest, I'd rather stay at the small inn near the train station, I think their service attitude would be much better than here. If you don't mind, maybe I can help your boss retire early."
The manager was shocked to hear this and hurriedly said, "I apologize, the previous incident was a personal problem of the front desk staff, it has nothing to do with our hotel, I hope you can accept my apology."
"Alright, let's consider this matter settled. If it happens once, it can be considered a mistake, but if it happens twice, it's dereliction of duty."
Five minutes later, several people in the presidential suite on the top floor were holding their bellies and laughing loudly, they seemed to have gotten it out of their system.
Xu Qiang rubbed his aching stomach and said, "Well, I'll be. The way Stabber and Boss performed was quite convincing. For a moment there, I even doubted whether we really had such abilities. Especially Stabber, who's usually so quiet and cold towards everyone except Boss, making others feel like they owe him money. Who would have thought he'd pull off something like this today?"
"What's it like? Is this feeling good? Any thoughts?"
"I don't have any ideas, I just feel great and very comfortable," Guan Zhiyong said.
Tang Feng sighed and said, "I only now understand why so many people want to gain power. This feeling is really great, the feeling of being able to control others' lives and deaths in an instant is truly exhilarating."
Yin Fei looked at these big men, holding back her smile and said: "Alright alright, I'm starving, let's go eat. I believe in your abilities, one day you will have this right, or even more, my intuition is quite accurate."
Several pairs of eyes collided in mid-air, filled with fighting spirit. The four nodded firmly, and everything was understood without a word.
