Chapter 6 Would you like to come in and sit for a while?
Before Wang Guanxi could even speak, the young woman smiled and shoved the fruit platter into his arms, her voice soft and sweet:
"Sir, this is the fruit left over from the hotel today. I was going to take it home, but there was too much for me to eat, so I brought some over to you."
After saying that, she laughed and added, "After all, you rented an executive suite for a month, so you're one of our big clients, hahaha."
Wang Guanxi took the fruit plate, looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
He suddenly found the scene particularly interesting.
First of all, if this was the hotel's idea, she should have come in her work uniform, not her own casual clothes.
Secondly, if the hotel has leftover fruit, it can be saved for breakfast the next day or the staff can take it home, but there is no need to deliver it to guests late at night, around 10 p.m.
Finally, she said, "It's too much for me to finish."
Why don't you just put it in the refrigerator and eat it tomorrow?
It's so late at night, and a young woman is delivering fruit to a single male guest's room. That's a really flimsy excuse.
Although Wang Guanxi isn't exactly a Casanova, he can still see through these things.
The receptionist girl has a crush on him.
No, to be precise, it was his "generous decision to book an executive suite for a month" that caught her eye.
That's quite normal.
A hotel receptionist in a small county town earns at most three or four thousand yuan a month.
A young man walked in, and without even blinking, booked an executive suite for a month, costing nearly 40,000 yuan.
Anyone would take a second look.
Wang Guanxi smiled and took the fruit plate.
He couldn't help but smile and said to the young woman, "Thank you! Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
He thought the other party would readily agree.
After all, they came to deliver fruit late at night wearing their own clothes. Isn't the meaning obvious enough?
The receptionist's reaction surprised him.
She quickly shook her head, waving her hands in front of her like a frightened little rabbit.
"No, no, it's too late, I need to get home."
His expression was very serious, not like he was faking it.
Wang Guanxi was stunned for a moment, and then a faint sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
He had thought there would be some interesting stories tonight.
But he didn't mind and casually said, "Okay, let's add each other on WeChat then."
This time she did not refuse.
She paused, as if she hadn't expected him to ask for her WeChat, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, before readily taking out her phone and opening the WeChat QR code: "Okay."
After scanning the WeChat QR code, the young woman was about to turn and leave when Wang Guanxi quickly called out to her, "By the way, my name is Wang Guanxi. I don't know your name yet."
The young woman turned around, smiled at him, and said in a sweet voice, "My name is Cecilia Tse."
. . . . . .
The next morning, Wang Guanxi was having a dream.
In his dream, he and Cecilia Cheung went to the beach together. Cecilia Cheung was wearing a bikini and Wang Guanxi took many photos of her as souvenirs. Then she asked him to help her apply sunscreen. As soon as Wang Guanxi reached out his hand, his phone exploded.
It didn't actually explode; the ringtone just went off.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
Wang Guanxi groggily reached for his phone, squinted at the caller ID, and saw it was an unknown number with the location listed as "Jiangcheng".
He cursed "Fuck Bucky!" before answering, his voice hoarse as he said, "Feed?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Wang Guanxi? This is JD.com. You have a package that has arrived and you need to come down to sign for it."
Wang Guanxi rubbed his eyes and said impatiently, "Just put it at the front desk, I'm too lazy to go down there."
The deliveryman insisted, "Brother, this item is too expensive. You must sign for it yourself, otherwise I can't fulfill my obligation."
Too expensive?
Wang Guanxi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the Huawei triple-fold laptop he had ordered must have arrived!
Wang Guanxi had no choice but to slowly put on his pajamas, kick off his slippers, and reluctantly walk downstairs.
Upon arriving at the lobby, I saw a fat man with tattoos all over his neck and arms, holding an exquisitely packaged box and waiting.
When the fat man saw him coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile and handed him the packaging box to show him: "Brother, look, the packaging is intact, no bumps or scratches."
After saying that, he quickly opened the box, took out the Huawei Mate XT Master, turned it on in front of Wang Guanxi, and took several photos with the phone. After confirming that there were no problems, he handed the phone to him.
The fat man leaned closer, asking curiously, "Brother, I heard this phone costs over 20,000 yuan, is that true?"
Wang Guanxi took the phone, his fingertips touching the brand-new body. He was so busy fiddling with it that he casually replied, "Yeah, that's right."
The fat man's eyes widened, and he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Wow, bro, you're really something!"
Wang Guanxi pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "It's alright, it'll do."
Before leaving, the fat man glanced at the phone one last time, his eyes practically overflowing with envy.
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and his gaze darkened.
Then he sighed, took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it.
"Alright, bro, I'll be going now, I still have another delivery to make."
After saying that, the fat man turned and walked towards the hotel entrance.
After taking a couple of steps, he took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette in his mouth with a "snap," and took a deep drag.
Smoke billowed from his mouth and drifted into the air of the lobby.
"Damn it, if I were as rich as I used to be, I would definitely have gotten one and shown it off everywhere!"
He walked out without looking back, got on an electric tricycle painted in bright red, started the engine, and disappeared at the end of the street.
Wang Guanxi was playing with his new phone when it rang again as he returned to the elevator. It was the deliveryman calling again; the item he had ordered last night had arrived.
It has to be said that although Jiangcheng is just a small county, the express delivery is quite fast, especially JD.com. He placed the order in the middle of the night last night, and it all arrived the next day.
One package after another arrived, piling up in the lobby to the brim. How could Wang Guanxi possibly go downstairs to sign for them all?
He would have the deliveryman leave the less valuable items, which didn't require a signature, at the front desk.
For valuable items that require a signature, he would directly send a WeChat message to Cecilia Cheung, asking her to sign for them.
After all, he's no longer in the hotel. He's already changed his clothes and gone out to continue shopping. He's got money, so he can buy whatever he needs without hesitation.
When Cecilia Cheung received the WeChat message, she immediately agreed. It was just helping to sign for a few packages, no big deal.
As long as she can improve her relationship with Wang Guanxi, she'd be happy to do anything, from signing for packages to helping him with other small favors.
But looking at the ever-increasing pile of packages in the lobby, from cell phones and watches to clothes and sneakers, Xie Baizhi was completely dumbfounded. Her lips twitched, and she silently complained to herself: The lives of the rich are too extravagant!
Despite her complaints, the envy in her eyes was impossible to hide.
