"It's okay, we'll just find a spot in the lobby!" Su Qiao quickly said the moment she heard the minimum expense was ten thousand Yuan. Ten thousand Yuan! She couldn't even earn that much in a year, let alone worry about her rent this month!
"No worries. Isn't it just ten thousand Yuan? Bro's got money!"
But just as they reserved the private room, a sarcastic voice came from behind. Yun Hao turned to see a woman with heavy makeup. Her powder seemed ready to fall off with every word she spoke!
"Oh my, these days anyone can eat at Sea Sky Hotel. Just look at how you're dressed, what a pair of bumpkins!"
"Don't be mad, they're just two bumpkins. Let's just go and enjoy our meal!" The woman beside her, a middle-aged man with a big head and ears whose belly nearly touched his toes, spoke in clumsy Mandarin as he pulled out a membership card from his wallet and handed it to the receptionist.
"Hello sir, this is our store's silver card, which provides a 12% discount on purchases below fifty thousand Yuan!" The receptionist, who had just attended to Yun Hao, politely informed the middle-aged man without any noticeable difference in service quality from that offered to Yun Hao.
"Get us a room for seven!" The middle-aged man requested, without much expression on his face, but Yun Hao noticed a hint of pain in his small eyes.
"I'm sorry sir, we no longer have rooms for seven available. That was the last one. We only have rooms for ten or larger now, or you could choose to dine in the lobby or wait in the waiting area for a bit!" The receptionist spoke considerately, with no change in expression, making Yun Hao nod to himself, impressed with the quality service at Sea Sky Hotel.
"Honey, why don't we book a room for ten, I really don't want to dine at the same level as those bumpkins!" Just as the middle-aged man was about to suggest dining in the lobby, the woman beside him clung to his arm, her ample bosom pressing against him as she spoke sweetly and softly.
"Hmph, I'm insisting on that room for seven. I don't believe my fifty-thousand silver card would give worse service than a couple of bumpkins!" The middle-aged man's eyes showed hesitation, but upon seeing Su Qiao looking timid beside Yun Hao, he turned and spoke harshly, assuming that Yun Hao and Su Qiao were just a small-time couple hoping to experience a slice of luxury.
"I'm telling you, if you don't give me that room for seven, I'll cancel my silver membership with Sea Sky Hotel. You decide!"
The middle-aged man spoke with authority, pointing and shouting at the receptionist's nose!
"Yun Hao, why don't we let them have the room, and we can just eat in the lobby!" Seeing how aggressive the other party was, Su Qiao couldn't help but whisper to Yun Hao. It wasn't that she was afraid of conflict; she just thought that since it was just a meal, did it matter whether it was in the lobby or a private room? What's important is who's dining with you, right?
"Alright, we'll dine in the lobby then!" Yun Hao didn't care much about these things. Since Su Qiao suggested it, he had no reason to refuse and agreed, much to the receptionist's gratitude who thanked them profusely!
However, people can be quite petty. Take this fat man for example; when Yun Hao and Su Qiao voluntarily gave up the room, a strange sense of achievement inflated him, making him stand tall as if he were king of the world!
"See, wasn't that better? Two bumpkins pretending to be rich, seriously unlucky!"
"Are you talking about me?" Yun Hao really didn't want to entertain these two scumbags, but surprisingly, they were trying to push their luck. If this were abroad, Yun Hao vowed they would be corpses by now!
"No, I'm not talking about you; I'm talking about the two of you. Don't pretend to be rich if you're not!" The middle-aged man, seeing Yun Hao dare to question him, became more arrogant and grabbed Yun Hao's collar as if ready to hit him!
"Be gentle; if you tear this shirt, you can't afford to pay for it. Even the shirt underneath is beyond your means!" Yun Hao glanced disdainfully at the fat man. This fat idiot dared to grab his collar. Not that anyone would dare generally, but did he think he could afford these clothes?
Indeed, the undershirt Yun Hao wore was handcrafted by over a dozen renowned Italian designers, custom made to fit Yun Hao, worth more than thirty thousand Euros. Even a single button was worth over ten thousand Euros!
The unattractive khaki outfit Yun Hao wore was even more frighteningly expensive. It wasn't an ordinary set of clothes but made from specialized materials, not only waterproof but also fireproof, an essential piece when conducting missions in the harsh deserts of Africa!
Just this unattractive outfit on Yun Hao alone was worth twenty million Euros, about 170 million Xia Coin, and it wasn't something you could buy with money!
"Damn it, stop pretending. I'll tear this shirt off you today and see if I can afford it!" The middle-aged man, like a mad dog, furiously tugged at Yun Hao's shirt, but soon found to his frustration that he couldn't damage it at all.
Looking up at Yun Hao's mocking smile, the middle-aged man exploded in rage, grabbing a dagger from somewhere, and directly slashing Yun Hao's shirt open!
"Hey, everyone saw that, right? If you try to weasel out and not pay, I'll be very angry, and the consequences of that are usually severe!" Yun Hao laughed, a laugh so joyous that it seemed to many to be forced composure!
"Could you call your manager or whoever here knows quality best? Thank you!" Yun Hao easily flicked away the fat man's grasping hand, then smiled at the receptionist.
