"Naturally, it's a place close to the White Dew Building!"
Li Ziqi walked over. Leaving aside the fact that her teacher didn't lack money, even if he did, she could make up for it.
Zhang Hanfu felt so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood. Why did her highness always speak up for Sun Mo? He really wanted to retort back, but he didn't dare to.
"Xinhui, change to another place!"
Sun Mo didn't wish to stay here.
She also felt that it wasn't suitable to stay here. If one wanted the students to maintain a good state, the environment had to be guaranteed.
As for the money, she would help pay for a portion of it!
"Teacher Sun, don't be willful!"
Liu Mubai walked over, his handsome brows furrowed tightly. "Do you think Xinhui doesn't know how to stay in a good place? But you have to consider the school's financial situation. Even if you stay here, the money is something that Xinhui painstakingly saved up. "
"Hehe!"
Tantai Yutang was joyful, waiting to watch a good show. Liu Mubai's tone was as though he was saying that Sun Mo was a young master.
His teacher wouldn't tolerate such criticism.
"Teacher Liu!"
An Xinhui called out, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly. She didn't wish to hear such criticism. If it wasn't for Sun Mo, the Central Province Academy's situation would be even worse.
"Headmaster An, what's your decision?"
Sun Mo glanced at Liu Mubai, not bothering to argue with him.
"Boss Tang, I'm sorry!"
An Xinhui didn't hesitate and apologized directly. Teacher Liu had good intentions, but he basically didn't know the Central Province Academy's situation.
Although it hadn't been a long time since the giant medicine packet hit the market, it was simply too popular. Moreover, it was very expensive. Hence, An Xinhui still saved up some money.
"Headmaster An, don't think my words are unpleasant to the ears. Right now, it's the league tournament period, and many people have come to the White Dew City. The prices of the rooms have increased by over three times. The hotels near the White Dew Building have all been booked. Even if you have money, you won't be able to book a room.
Boss Tang's words were right.
"Thank you for your good intentions, Boss Tang!"
An Xinhui smiled and turned to instruct everyone. "Get on the car, change to another place!"
When Sun Mo called her earlier, he didn't call her Xinhui but Headmaster An. Clearly, he was cold and unapproachable. This caused An Xinhui to feel very perturbed.
If she didn't listen to him, the relationship between them that had eased up with much difficulty would break apart again.
An Xinhui's values were very upright. She felt that the school's money was earned because of Sun Mo's help. In that case, he should be the one to decide how to spend the money.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just spend it all. I'll just continue eating steamed buns!"
An Xinhui made her decision.
"Headmaster An, if you leave now, you won't be able to find a place to stay later. If you want to come back and stay, the price of the house won't be as agreed upon in the contract!"
Boss Tang threatened.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo urged. It was getting late, and he wanted to settle down earlier. After that, he would head to the White Dew City and have a sumptuous meal.
"Get in, let's go!"
After An Xinhui shouted, she looked toward Liu Mubai. "Teacher Liu, why don't you get on the carriage?"
Hearing this, Liu Mubai's expression changed. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he turned around and entered the carriage.
"Forget it. If I can't find a place to stay, I'll come out and solve it!"
Liu Mubai sighed. An Xinhui was really a traditional girl. She knew how to protect her fiancé's face in front of outsiders.
Hmph, Sun Mo, what capabilities do you have to be worthy of Xinhui?
Liu Mubai wasn't angry at An Xinhui, but he felt displeased toward Sun Mo. This fellow only cared about his own mood and didn't care about An Xinhui's difficulties.
How detestable!
"Headmaster An, the contract is written clearly in black and white. If you guys leave, I won't refund the deposit!"
Seeing that things had come to this, Boss Tang could only try his best to earn some money.
"This..."
An Xinhui deliberated over her words, wanting to recoup some losses.
"Don't waste time. I don't want the deposit anymore."
Sun Mo told An Xinhui to quickly get on the carriage.
The time of major characters was precious. If they had the time to wrangle, they might as well use it to guide their students.
"Eh!"
Boss Tang had thought that there would be some wrangling, but after seeing how straightforward Sun Mo was, he felt trepidation instead.
Sun Mo didn't even want the deposit. As expected, he was the son of a major character. If not, how could he be so wealthy?
At the thought of this, Boss Tang immediately gave his assistant a test.
The assistant instantly understood and immediately left.
The teachers and students started to get on the carriage, but they would occasionally glance at Sun Mo with strange expressions.
"He doesn't even want the deposit. Isn't he too generous?"
"I know that Teacher Sun has done a good job as the logistics department head and helped the school to save a lot of money. But he can't be so wasteful, right?"
"I feel that it's not bad to stay here!"
An Xinhui's character wasn't bad and she treated the teachers very well. Hence, everyone was very considerate of her. If they could make do with this hotel, they would.
Why did they have to be so extravagant?
Liu Mubai's expression sank. He didn't know that Sun Mo had given An Xinhui the giant medicine packet. He thought that the money was saved up by An Xinhui through scrimping. Hence, he was very angry and felt that Sun Mo had wasted it.
"Hmph, I want to see what you will do if you can't book a hotel later."
Zhang Hanfu coldly laughed in his heart.
The convoy set off.
After that, Boss Tang took a stack of banknotes and ran to Sun Mo's side.
"Teacher Sun, according to the rules of our industry, the deposit can only be refunded by half. There are 25,000 taels here, please count it!"
Boss Tang surveyed Sun Mo. He didn't give the money to An Xinhui but looked for Sun Mo instead. He wanted to take the opportunity to get to know Sun Mo.
One must know that it would be very beneficial to his business if he could form a good relationship with such a major character.
"Boss Tang is really considerate. I will take this money as compensation for your losses!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he didn't even look at the money and directly boarded the carriage.
The coachman was stunned. He looked at the banknotes and then at Sun Mo, mentally musing, (So you are actually so rich? That's 25,000 taels!)
(My god, this is enough for me to drive for half my life!)
"Let's set off?"
Ying Baiwu urged.
"Oh! Oh! "
The coachman's attitude became even more respectful.
"Eh? Teacher Sun, Teacher Sun, don't be in a hurry to leave. You must take this money! "
Boss Tang chased a few steps, but it was useless. Sun Mo basically ignored him.
"Tell me, did I offend someone?"
Boss Tang looked at the departing carriage, stirring up a cloud of dust. This caused him to feel panic in his heart.
"Boss, someone who doesn't care about tens of thousands of taels shouldn't care about you!"
The assistant mentally mused. (You are just a minor character. Is there a need for people to waste time with you?)
"Let's hope so!"
Boss Tang turned back and walked a few steps. The more he thought about it, the more worried he felt. "Go and follow them. Let's see where they are staying in the end."
Before this, Boss Tang had heard that the Central Province Academy had declined and the teachers couldn't afford to pay their salaries. In addition, they were staying in the southern part of the city for the league tournament this time around. This further proved this rumor. But who knew that this wasn't the case at all!
An Xinhui had latched onto a powerful backer!
In the carriage, when Liu Mubai saw the scene of Sun Mo rejecting the deposit, he felt even angrier. (You are really being generous with others' money!)
"Why doesn't Teacher want to return the deposit?"
Ying Baiwu didn't understand and felt a little heartache. That was a lot of money.
"Because he represents the face of the Central Province Academy now. In a place like a hotel, news would spread the fastest. If Teacher accepted the deposit, it would have an impact on the school's reputation."
Li Ziqi explained.
What was acting cool?
This was it! I'll let you know that my Central Province Academy doesn't lack money!
(If a school were to accept the 25,000 taels, what if Boss Tang said that you were being calculative? No matter if you explained or not, you'd be the scapegoat for sure.)
"This matter itself is a type of humiliation!"
Tantai Yutang interjected.
A top-notch famous school wouldn't consider staying in such a place and wouldn't haggle over the deposit. This was why Sun Mo wanted to shake off that boss as soon as possible.
A famous school wanted to develop?
By relying on what?
By relying on great teachers and students, they could forget about recruiting great teachers if they stayed in a place like this.
As the saying went, humans strive to climb higher while water flows lower. This had always been the case since ancient times. As long as a great teacher had some ability, they would want to join a top-notch famous school to teach.
Moreover, Sun Mo was a tycoon now. It was less than 30,000 taels, and he'd be able to earn it back after selling ten giant medicine packets. If he were to sell a giant spirit potted plant, one pot would be far more than enough.
In the carriage, An Xinhui looked at Sun Mo who was surveying the streets and a smile appeared on her face.
Regarding that sum of money, An Xinhui wanted it, but she knew that she couldn't accept it.
An Xinhui viewed the Central Province Academy as more important than her own life. She wouldn't do anything that would damage the school's reputation.
If she didn't want the 25,000 taels, it would appear that the Central Province Academy was magnanimous and generous. It would continue to retain the foundation of a famous school and wouldn't be like a calculative woman!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 100. Respect (2,870/10000).
The Eastern City District was the business district of the White Dew City. The White Dew Building was located on the Reeds Avenue.
Sun Mo's intention was to directly head to the most luxurious hotel. However, An Xinhui didn't agree, feeling that it was too extravagant. In any case, this place was quite close.
However, after asking two hotels consecutively, they were indeed booked.
The group of carriages stopped.
"What did I say? It's the peak season now. Even if you want to spend money, you won't be able to book a room! "
Zhang Hanfu mocked.
Sun Mo didn't waste words. He took out a map of the White Dew City from his bag.
"Teacher, I've marked it. There are a total of 37 high-grade hotels that can accommodate so many of us within 1,000 meters of the White Dew Building!"
Li Ziqi jogged over and spread out a map.
Jin Mujie and the others were at the side. They only took a glance and their eyes brightened, revealing a look of approval.
On the map, with the White Dew Building as the center, three concentric circles were drawn. The distance between them was 500 meters, and the size and price of the hotels were marked with different colors.
"There are 12 top-grade hotels. However, these hotels value their reputation a lot. Hence, even if you spend money, you probably won't be able to get a room."
Li Ziqi analyzed. "Hence, I suggest we start searching from the second-tier hotels. We can give all five of them a try!"
"When did you gather this information?"
Gu Xiuxun was curious.
"Half a month before we set off!"
Li Ziqi was only preparing for a rainy day. Moreover, she wanted her teacher to stay in a better place. Hence, if the hotels arranged by the school weren't comfortable, she would use her private funds to book a room for her teacher.
"Which hotel do you think is the best?"
Sun Mo asked. He was already used to the little sunny egg's stunning performance.
"This one is the Ten Thousand Maple Hotel. Although it's a little far from the White Dew Building, the scenery is very good. At night, we can see the beautiful scenery of the White Dew River!"
Li Ziqi had done her research before and immediately gave an answer. "Also, I heard that their maple-leaf grilled fish is top-notch!"
"3,000 taels is the price for a night, right? My heavens, there are so many of us. How many rooms do we need? At least 50, right? That's over 100,000 taels for a night! "
Zhang Hanfu clicked his tongue.
"Not only so, their rooms would have been booked long ago. If we want to stay there, we have to pay at least three times the price."
Jin Mujie shook her head. This price was too high. It wasn't worth it.
"How many people can stay in their rooms? I'm afraid it won't be enough even if we book 50 rooms, right? "
Zhang Hanfu continued to pour cold water, but before he finished speaking, Li Ziqi retorted.
"What rooms? It's too troublesome. Just book them all! "
Li Ziqi spoke with the words' tycoon '. A little rich lady who didn't lack money could do whatever she wanted.
"Book? What are you going to pack? "
Ying Baiwu didn't understand.
"Naturally, it's to book the entire hotel!"
Li Ziqi's tone was as it should be, but it shocked everyone. This was especially so for Zhang Hanfu. He was dumbfounded.
"Ah? How much money would that cost? "
Ying Baiwu felt that she couldn't react. Or rather, the concept of booking an entire hotel had never appeared in her mind before.
The poor wouldn't understand the world of the rich.
"It's this one then!"
Sun Mo decided.
Not long later, the convoy arrived at the Ten Thousand Maples. An Xinhui's group went in to negotiate while the others waited outside.
Li Ziqi took the responsibility and followed behind Sun Mo like a little secretary.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Our rooms have all been booked."
The boss's surname was Lei and he was a middle-aged man. His stomach was fat and his eyelids were swollen. Clearly, he hadn't slept well recently.
"How much is the penalty fee?"
Li Ziqi asked. For such a small matter, she mustn't trouble her teacher.
Boss Lei surveyed Li Ziqi and didn't dare to slight her. Those in this line of work were all intelligent people. He could tell from the little sunny egg's demeanor that her background wasn't bad. She was definitely from a great clan.
"Usually, it's 30%. Now, it's 70%!"
Boss Lei smiled.
"We will pay for the penalty fee. You go and explain to the tenants. We will pay three times the price..."
Before Li Ziqi could finish speaking, another group of people entered and interrupted him.
"Boss, we'll book this hotel of yours."
After the young man in the lead spoke, he turned his head and explained to the girl beside him, "The grilled fish here isn't bad. You can try it tonight!"
"Why are you still standing there? Come and take the luggage! "
The young man called out to the receptionists at the side, putting on the airs of a big boss.
Boss Lei felt his teeth aching. What day was it today? Was the God of Fortune here? However, he was afraid that this money would burn his hands!
There was no need to talk about this girl. Her demeanor was outstanding, but that young man wasn't bad either. He wanted to book the entire hotel but didn't say how much he wanted. He was either a tycoon who didn't lack money or he was a swindler.
However, it shouldn't be the latter.
"Where's the tea? Where's the pastries? Why are you so blind? "
