âIt cost nearly 90,000 yuan in total. Are you sure you want to foot it yourself?â
Lin Yi smiled and asked.
âYou can always transfer the money back to me. You spent more than 80,000 yuan on me. My heart aches when I think of this. â
Du Yao and Fang Fei did not speak and waited for Guo Fei to transfer the money.
After all, he said that this meal was on him.
Guo Feiâs gaze was a little evasive.
âAll my money is in my card. I canât transfer it to you. Let me withdraw it first.â
âLetâs go to the bank,â Lin Yi said, âWe still need money to pay for the accommodation.â
âHow about this? You paid for the meal, so Iâll pay for the hotel. That way, weâll be even.â
âWait, didnât you say that all our expenses in Zhonghai will be on you? Do I have to pay a portion?â
âCough, cough, cough..
Guo Fei said, âWho asked you to pretend to be generous? It has nothing to do with me.â
This time, Guo Fei did not dare to pretend anymore. He could not afford this high a. bill.
âAlright, itâs not much anyway. I wonât demand that you settle it. â
âTsk, arenât you just a farmer? Why are you pretending to be generous?â Guo Fei muttered softly.
âBrother Lin, we can just find a random place to stay. Thereâs no need to find such a good place,â Du Yao said.
âYou canât ask me about this. You have to ask Guo Fei. Heâs the one who will have to spend on the hotel.â
âForget it,â Du Yao said. âActually, we have money here too. Itâs enough to stay in a hotel.â
âYaoyao, what are you talking about? Everyone agreed that I would take care of the expenses today. How can I let the two of you spend money?â
âThen how much money do you have in your pocket? What grade of hotel can you go to?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âDonât tell me you want to cheat me.â
âWhat are you talking about? I spent my money on the food. What did I cheat you of?â
âYou guys can choose the hotel. I have no opinions.â
âI really like going out with you tycoons.â
With that, Lin Yi drove Du Yao and the others to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
âWhat do you think of this place? Is it good enough?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
He saw Ritz-Carlton âs magnificent architecture.
Guo Fei felt a little more confident.
The prices of places like this were basically uniform. It was just like a restaurant. It was not expensive.
If he was dragged into a villa, it would cost him a lot of money.
Moreover, places like hotels usually supported digital payments.
Other than the cash in his pocket, there was still a limit of 45,000 yuan that he could use. In short, there was no need to be afraid.
âThis place is okay.â
âSince you donât have any objections, you can stay here.â
âBrother Lin, isnât this place too good?â Du Yao whispered.
âWeâre not important people. We can just find any random boutique hotel to stay in.â
âSince youâre here, you have to enjoy yourselves.â Lin Yi smiled.
âMoreover, someone is paying for the bill. What are you two worried about?
Just be bold.â
With that, Lin Yi walked in first and went to the reception.
âFour presidential suites.â
âHello, sir. Our presidential suite costs 78,000 yuan a night. The four rooms cost 312,000 yuan.â
Hearing the price of 78,000 yuan a night, Du Yao and the other two were shocked.
The meal only cost 80,000 yuan, but staying here for a night actually cost the same amount?
Even robbers wouldnât be so bold, right?
âBrother Lin, thereâs no need to book four rooms, right? Feifei and I can just stay in one room.â
âThen letâs book three.â
Lin Yi looked at Guo Fei, âItâs time for you to show your strength.â
âLin Yi, you âre going too far. Donât you know your identity? You actually want to stay in a presidential suite?â
âWhat kind of room do you want to book, then?â
Guo Fei glanced at the price tag on the wall and said,
âI think the room for 1888 a night is not bad. Itâs not like heâs a big shot. Why are you talking about pomp and circumstance? Besides, do you have money in your pocket? Why do you want such an expensive room?â
âI do.â
âYou just spent more than 80,000 yuan. Isnât your card maxed out by now?â
Lin Yi took out his bank card and waved it in front of Guo Fei. âSorry, I really have money.â
âGet me two presidential suites.â
âAlright, sir. Please wait a moment.â
Soon, the waiter at the counter handed the room card to Lin Yi. âLetâs go back and sleep. We still have work to do tomorrow morning.â
âWait a minute!â Guo Fei stopped Lin Yi from behind, âWhy did you only get two rooms?â
âDonât you want to stay in the 1888 yuan room? Iâm not used to the standard room, so I wonât be staying with you.â
With that, the three of them walked straight into the elevator.
Guo Fei was left dumbfounded on the spot.
When they reached the presidential suite on the top floor, Lin Yi handed the room card to Du Yao. âGo back and rest. Call me tomorrow morning.â
âBrother Lin, we made you spend a lot of money this time.â
Originally, Du Yao wanted to go all out with Lin Yi this time. She would either treat him to a meal or spend money on the accomodation.
However, she couldnât afford any of it, so she felt a little apologetic.
âI donât have much money. Go back and rest.â
âYes, yes. Thank you, Brother Lin.
After returning to his room, Lin Yi took a shower and chatted with Ji Qingyan for a while. After saying goodnight to each other, he played games with Chen Yan until the latter half of the night before going to bed.
The next morning, after Lin Yi washed up and dressed up, he went next door to look for Du Yao and realized that the three of them had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Lin Yi again, Guo Feiâs attitude had improved a lot.
After a night of reflection, he realized that he really couldnât compare to Lin Yi.
Even if his family still had some money, it was impossible for him to spend more than 200,000 yuan overnight without blinking.
Hence, he became much more obedient and did not say anything disrespectful.
âBrother Lin, should we set off now?â
âLetâs get something to eat at the hotel before we leave.â
âYes, yes, okay.â
After packing up, the four of them went to the hotel for breakfast and drove away.
âBrother Lin, what are your plans for today?â Du Yao asked.
âArenât you guys going to buy books? Iâll drop you off at the bookstore first, then Iâll buy some weed killer. After Iâm done, Iâll pick you up.â
âIt wonât take us long to buy books. Why donât we go with you? We have nothing to do anyway.â
âThatâs fine. If you donât mind the trouble, come along with me. Thereâs not much to do anyway. It can all be done in a day.â
âYes, yes, thatâs what I think,â Du Yao said.
There was a bookstore near the hotel, and it wasnât small, so Lin Yi brought Du
Yao and the others there.
As the third largest bookstore in Zhonghai, Crossing Bookstore was visited by many people every day.
Seeing the books everywhere, Du Yao and the other two went straight to the postgraduate entrance examination area to buy some revision tools.
Lin Yi was bored, so he looked around and picked up a book called Semiconductor Device Physics.
âBrother Lin, did you study computing in university?â Du Yao asked curiously..
