Changxi Grand Hotel, the nineties, the only three-star hotel in Changxi County, and the only hotel that was involved in serving foreigners.
The Changxi Grand Hotel had twelve floors and was the iconic building of Changxi County at that ti. Many people who ca to the county from rural areas would specifically visit to see it and take a photo with it.
It's fair to say that Changxi Grand Hotel was trendously prestigious, and those who could often be seen entering and leaving were among the most influential figures in the political and business circles of Changxi County. Ordinary folk hardly dared or would even think of setting foot in this hotel, as the cost of a single banquet could equate to half a month's inco for an average person, and if one ordered the more expensive dishes and drinks, it could amount to half a year's inco, which was not unusual here.
Even the sowhat wealthy families in the city would only consider coming here during festivals, celebratory events, or to entertain important guests.
In short, at that ti, Changxi Grand Hotel was the most luxurious high-end venue in the whole of Changxi County. In fact, the requirents for a three-star rating then were high standard and high specification, so of which are now the requirents for four-star and even five-star hotels.
For example, the requirent for dedicated porters to provide luggage services for 18 hours, duty managers to attend to guests 24 hours a day, having an enclosed bar, a small shopping center, providing turn-down service, a café (simplified Western restaurant) offering buffet breakfasts, and 18-hour al delivery service for Chinese and Western-style breakfasts and als, are now the requirents for four-star hotels. Likewise, requirents such as the front desk manager providing 18-hour service, rooms with bathtubs, accessible rooms for disabled guests, providing formal Western als, and the ability to provide Chinese and Western banquet services are now requirents for five-star hotels.
Because of this, Changxi Grand Hotel had an extrely high social image and status throughout Changxi County at the ti, and Lin Jinnuo, the owner of Changxi Grand Hotel, had beco an influential figure in Changxi County due to the hotel. As for his son, Lin Kun, he too beca one of the notable figures among the second generation in the political and business circles of Changxi County, due to this the county's only international three-star hotel. Below him, there was a group of underlings who eagerly followed his lead.
It was already eleven o'clock at night, and on the second floor of the hotel, in the splendidly decorated KTV room, the singing was still loud and the drinks were flowing. Won dressed in white tight tops and ultra-short skirts, showing off their long, white legs, could be seen standing in the lobby or moving in and out of the various private rooms.
"Look here, Chen Zihao, it's rare that your dad is on a business trip and your mom is too busy with the restaurant to mind you, and you're sulking all evening. Who are you trying to impress? If you don't want to stay, then just scram!" In a luxurious KTV private room, Lin Kun leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He blew a ring of smoke and pointed at Chen Zihao, who was sitting on the other side, drinking morosely.
"It might be better for you to go ho early, after all, Chen Zihao is still a student," a woman's voice chid in, and it was Yue Ting.
Today, Yue Ting was not wearing her Chanel suit, but a low-cut vest and denim shorts, revealing a deep cleavage and her plump, white thighs, which made the n in the room steal glances at her, though they dared not stare.
That's because Yue Ting was the big sister of their circle.
"Yue Ting's right, Chen Zihao, you better co here less often in the future. Anyway, every ti you co, you just look like a corpse," Lin Kun waved his hand impatiently at Chen Zihao.
"Sister Ting, Brother Kun, I'm sorry for ruining everyone's good ti with my moodiness. I'll punish myself with this bottle," seeing that Lin Kun and Yue Ting were sowhat annoyed, Chen Zihao panicked, quickly stood up, grabbed a bottle of beer, and downed it in one go.
"That's more like it. Speak up, what's bothering you so much? Is it 'cause you have to repeat a year at high school? If that's it, there's nothing I can do to help!" Lin Kun's mood seed to lighten after Chen Zihao chugged the bottle as an apology. He blew another ring of smoke and asked.
"It's not about that. Repeating a year doesn't really bother , especially with the school beauty by my side—I'm actually looking forward to it. What's annoying is that soone ssed up a good thing for ," Chen Zihao responded, waiting for Brother Kun's question, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Damn, so soone was hitting on your girl, huh! No wonder you've been so down today. But let tell you, Chen Zihao, you're a repeater after all, and you're a big guy. While your looks aren't great, you could still pass for handso at a glance. Damn, soone steals your girl and you don't fight to get her back, but drown your sorrows in booze instead. Are you even a man?" Yue Ting said, pointing at Chen Zihao and scolding him harshly, completely lacking the deanor of a business magnate's daughter—she was totally acting like a tough girl.
"Haha, Sister Ting, Chen Zihao is still a student after all; he's hardly a man! Brother Kun is the real deal." A guy as fat as a pig burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"Shit, Shen Fatty, you're no man. If you've got the guts, pull it out and let's compare." Chen Zihao was feeling extrely depressed by Yue Ting's scolding but didn't dare retort, so when he heard the fat guy mocking him, he imdiately pointed and cursed at him.
"Yeah, pull it out, let's compare!" Everyone in the room started egging them on, even the won joined in.
Instantly, the one called Shen Fatty chickened out, but his mouth was still tough, "What's there to compare with your 'embroidery needle'? A win would be aningless!"
"Tsk!" Everyone let out a sound of disdain upon hearing this.
"Enough!" Lin Kun and Yue Ting, ultimately the bosses of the group, didn't really want things to go too far, and seeing how things were going, they simultaneously waved their hands to stop it.
Seeing Lin Kun and Yue Ting speak up, no one dared to continue mocking.
"Actually, what Yue Ting said just now makes a lot of sense. Chen Zihao, you're a repeater and a big guy, yet you're too scared to take back your girl. Is that guy soone with a big backing or what? But that's unlikely, looks like the big shots' kids in Changxi County are either not yet in high school or have already gone to university," Lin Kun pointed out after the room quieted down.
"That guy has had so martial arts training. I can't beat him!" Chen Zihao said in extre frustration.
"Damn, you can't even beat him? You're such a wimp, I can't believe how big and tall you are. You're just a pretty face—not useful at all!" Shen Fatty, having just been despised, imdiately mocked him gleefully.
"Enough, Shen Fatty!" Lin Kun glared at Shen Fatty, then turned to Chen Zihao, "Isn't he just a high school student? Have him et you here next Saturday at three in the afternoon. You'll all be free from class, and it's a good ti. I want to see what high school kid is so cocky, daring to hit on my bro's girl."
"Thanks, Brother Kun!" Chen Zihao, seeing that Lin Kun agreed to help him, couldn't help but feel overjoyed and quickly bowed in thanks.
"Alright, you've got school tomorrow, now get lost!" Lin Kun waved him off, not really concerned about a re high school student.
