They walked out of the airport and grabbed a bite at the nearby KFC and called for a private hire car with an app that would send them to the hotel to rest.
He Xiyan was very puzzled when she realized that they were taking more than an hour to reach their destination and turned to ask Li Yue, “Ms. Li, which hotel did you book?”
Why were they taking more than an hour to get to their hotel?
Li Yue said with a smile, “The Lemster.”
“The Lemster?” He Xiyan repeated in shock as she stared at her colleague in disbelief.
They were here to learn, so although the company would bear the cost of their travel, there was a strict policy in place, so each person’s accommodation could not exceed $300 a night and any excess cost will have to be borne by themselves.
The Lemster was a five-star international hotel chain that had a presence in many large cities. The standard of living was higher at Ye City, so it would cost at least $1,000 a night at this hotel.
Was her colleague crazy? How could such a young woman spend such an exorbitant amount of money without a second thought? Did she have more money than she knew what to do with or was she simply foolish?
Li Yue smiled. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her actions.
“Alright, Ms. Chen. I’ve already made the reservations and The Lemster has already prepared our rooms. It is also merely one kilometer away from the place that we are supposed to undergo training. Most importantly, the hotel is by the riverside, so we’d be able to admire the view at night.”
Li Yue didn’t think much of her actions and didn’t mind paying extra to stay at The Lemster. Moreover, wasn’t Ms. Chen the owner of the school? Her salary was definitely more than a million dollars a year, so she didn’t understand why Ms. Chen was so unwilling to spend.
He Xiyan looked away. She was completely speechless.
She should have known girls who were pampered by their parents would never understand how hard it was to earn money and didn’t mind spending extravagantly.
Forget it. She could afford to stay in the hotel but she didn’t have anything in common with this teacher.
They took almost two hours to reach The Lemster that was located in the western district of Ye City.
The hotel looked very grand and luxuriously decorated. The hotel guests looked very rich and elite.
They seemed to stand out like a sore thumb with their peasant airs as compared to these rich guests.
They went to the front desk to check in and went to their assigned room.
It was a standard twin room that was around 30 to 40 square meters. The hotel room was also more luxuriously decorated than average hotel rooms.
However, He Xiyan who wasn’t picky in the first place, so the luxurious decor didn’t make a difference to her.
Li Yue was extremely excited and immediately drew the curtains to look at the flickering lights on the river and the trees that were all lit up after she put down her bags. These trees looked like fireworks from a distance and they were extremely beautiful.
“Ms. Chen, come here and have a look!” Li Yue said as she called He Xiyan who was in the midst of unpacking to come over.
He Xiyan wasn’t interested at first but after she saw the view, she was also impressed by the scenery and snapped a few shots to send to Jiahang.
“Ms. Chen, I bet you don’t regret staying here now, right?” she asked.
He Xiyan was speechless.
Li Yue laughed happily as she leaned against the window to admire the view. There were several mansions lined along the other side of the river and almost all these mansions had their lights turned on since it was night time. She could see several dozens of mansions from her point of view.
Li Yue pointed at the mansions and said enviously, “Ms. Chen, look at these mansions. I heard that this is the most expensive residential area within Ye City and each mansion costs at least $200 million. The residents of these mansions are either high-ranking officials or incredibly rich families.”
