The three of them arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Li Rui went to the front desk to check out.
The two receptionists saw that Li Rui came to check out not long after he booked a room. They also saw that he came down with Guo Xiaohe and Jia Yuanyuan. They thought that he booked a room because he wanted to do something with the two girls and leave as soon as he was done. Therefore, they looked at him with disdain.
The girl who helped Li Rui with the procedures said coldly, "If you check out like this, we'll still charge you based on a night's stay." Although Li Rui didn't spend his own money, he still felt a bit of heartache. He asked, "Why? I only stayed for a little over an hour. " The girl said unhappily, "I don't care if you stayed for an hour or ten hours. Anyway, when you booked a room, it was based on a night's stay. If you check out early, it can only be based on a night's stay."
The other girl said unkindly, "Look at you. Can't you just say that you want a room by the hour when you book a room? Why did you book a luxurious room? Tsk! "Li Rui frowned and looked at her." What do you mean by 'look at me'? What kind of person am I? " The girl pursed her lips and looked at Guo Xiaohe and Jia Yuanyuan. "You know very well in your heart." Li Rui thought about it and understood that they misunderstood. However, he was too lazy to explain. "We have something urgent to do and have to leave. Can you help us make an exception?"
The first girl said coldly, "We can't make an exception. Who told you not to book a room by the hour?"
Li Rui always felt that the words "room by the hour" were full of insults. It was as if they were saying that he booked a room to do that kind of thing. Although the truth was similar, knowing and saying it out loud were two completely different things. His face darkened and he was about to get angry.
At this moment, the beautiful manager from before walked out of the room. When she saw the confrontation at the reception desk, she hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?" The girl looked at Li Rui and said, "They just booked a room and then wanted to check out. I said that it would be based on a night's stay and he was unhappy. Why do we need customers to pay the deposit first? It's to prevent this from happening. "His tone was full of disdain for Li Rui's" trick ".
The beautiful manager walked to the counter closest to Li Rui and asked, "Sir, may I ask why you suddenly want to leave?" Li Rui said indifferently, "Of course there's something urgent."
Another girl said to herself, "Of course we have to leave now that we're done."
Li Ruixin was furious, but he didn't want to argue with her. That would only lower his status, so he just looked at her and didn't say anything.
The beautiful manager frowned. "Oh, I see." Li Rui said casually, "It doesn't matter if we can't. At worst, we won't come again." The beautiful manager pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Don't be angry, it's our staff's attitude that's not good enough, and the service isn't humane enough. I'll immediately have them correct their mistakes." After saying that, she said to the two girls, "Just charge this gentleman according to the time he stayed here. Don't charge him a cent more."
The first girl called out, "Manager …" The beautiful manager's face sank and said, "You don't understand what I'm saying?"
The girl didn't dare to say anything else. She looked at Li Rui with disdain and took the room card, preparing to pay.
The beautiful manager noticed her small movements and said to the other girl, "You settle the bill for this gentleman, you …" She pointed to the first girl and coldly said, "You come with me." She then walked into the room.
Li Rui saw that the beautiful manager handled things fairly and had a good impression of her. He didn't even have time to thank her before she disappeared through the door.
After paying, the three of them walked out of the lobby to the parking lot.
Li Rui saw Song Chaoyang and found that he seemed to be impatient. He hurriedly opened the car door and invited him to get in. Guo Xiaohe and Jia Yuanyuan also sat in their usual seats. After everyone was seated, the car drove out of the manor.
On the way back to the city, the car was quiet and no one spoke. The atmosphere in the car was gloomy and cold.
Li Rui's mind was filled with random thoughts. He vaguely guessed that the boss and Guo Xiaohe had a conflict, but he couldn't guess the reason. If the boss didn't say anything, he probably wouldn't know for the rest of his life. He turned his head to look at Jia Yuanyuan and saw that she was also looking at him. He felt sorry for her and thought about taking her to Shengjing Hotel when they returned to the city.
When the car reached the southern district, Li Rui parked the car at the spot where he picked up Guo Xiaohe.
Guo Xiaohe was silent for a moment and said to Song Chaoyang, "I'm going back. Drive slowly." She opened the car door and walked out.
Li Rui drove back to the Qingyang Hotel.
Song Chaoyang didn't say anything.
When the car reached the courtyard of the Qingyang Hotel, Song Chaoyang finally spoke, "Xiao Rui, Yuanyuan, you must be exhausted from all the trouble tonight. Go back and rest. I'll go back first. "
Jia Yuanyuan didn't expect the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee to be so approachable. He even took the initiative to say such polite words. She had a good impression of him and understood that if Li Rui hadn't served him well, he wouldn't have said such words. In other words, his words showed that he valued Li Rui. Otherwise, why would he, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, care about whether a small secretary was tired or not? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Rui was outstanding. When she thought about having an extramarital affair with such an outstanding man, not only did she not have any worries, she was even happier.
Li Rui rushed to get out of the car and opened the door for Song Chaoyang.
After Song Chaoyang got out, he closed the door behind him and said, "Go and rest early." Li Rui said, "I'll send you back to your room." Song Chaoyang laughed and said, "It's just a few steps. Why are you sending me? Let's go. "
After leaving the Qingyang Hotel, Jia Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why is Guo Xiaohe crying? And why did she suddenly come back to the city? "Li Rui said," Don't ask me. I don't know who to ask. Let's not worry about it. It's not something we should be worrying about. If you want to worry, just think about how you're going to have fun later. Hehe, I'll take you to Shengjing Hotel. "Jia Yuanyuan scoffed," I'm so tired. What fun is there? Send me home. "
When Li Rui heard that Jia Yuanyuan wanted to go home, he was stunned. He smiled and asked, "Are you serious or are you kidding me? It's already the middle of the night. Why are you going home? I know I've let you down. I'll serve you well later and atone for my sins. Is that okay? " Jia Yuanyuan didn't even look at him. She glanced at the night scenery outside the window and laughed, "I don't need you to serve me." Li Rui said, "Then what do you mean?" Jia Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "I don't mean anything. I'm just tired and want to sleep." Li Rui laughed and said, "That's hard to say. I'll sleep with you later." Jia Yuanyuan said coquettishly, "Can I still sleep if you sleep with me?" Li Rui smiled and said, "You can sleep. When you're tired, you'll sleep." Jia Yuanyuan was embarrassed and said, "You're annoying. I shouldn't have agreed to come out with you."
Li Rui let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then I'll drive to Shengjing Hotel?" Jia Yuanyuan said, "Don't go there. It's a five-star hotel. It's so expensive. Won't it cost more than a thousand yuan to stay there?" Li Rui said with emotion, "If I was in the Water Conservancy Bureau, I wouldn't even have the money to stay in an ordinary express hotel, let alone a five-star hotel. I wouldn't even have the money to invite you to enjoy a night there. But it's different now. We can stay wherever we want. We don't have to pay a single cent for the places where we have connections. For example, Qingyang Hotel. If we don't have connections, we'll pay for it ourselves. Anyway, we're not short of money now. "
Jia Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Not short of money? Are you bribed by others? "Li Rui said," Then you don't have to worry about it. "Jia Yuanyuan sighed and said," It's better if you don't bribe others. I've seen on the news that corrupt officials were arrested because they bribed others. Don't go down that road. " Li Rui smiled and said, "Baby, thank you for your kind reminder. But you can rest assured that I won't do that kind of thing … Uh, let's not talk about this now. Let's talk about something happy. Then I'll drive to Shengjing Hotel." Jia Yuanyuan said, "Whatever. Anyway, I just want to sleep now." Li Rui said, "I understand. You can't wait to sleep with me. I understand your feelings. I'll drive faster. Look, it's going to be eighty miles per hour." Jia Yuanyuan was angry. She hit him lightly and scolded with a smile, "Get out! That's what you think! "
When the car arrived at Shengjing Hotel, Li Rui drove directly to the underground parking lot. He and Jia Yuanyuan took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. He asked her to wait in the elevator lobby while he went to the front desk to get a room. A few minutes later, they took the elevator to the 22nd floor and entered a luxurious room with full walls and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Jia Yuanyuan had never stayed in a five-star hotel. As soon as she entered the room, she was dazzled by the magnificent decoration. Her feet stepped on the soft, thick carpet embroidered with peonies. It felt light and soft. It gave her a kind of unreal feeling, like she was in a dream.
Li Rui walked around the room. He went to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out. He called her and said, "Come and see. The whole Qingyang City is under our feet."
