As Cheng Gang's voice fell, Lin Chen also turned his head and looked around.
He found that there was indeed not a single person in the hotel today, which made him a little unhappy.
"Also, don't think that the prices here are expensive."
"But what kind of place is Zhonghai? It's the financial center of China, full of rich people."
"Honestly, if Zhonghai didn't only have this one Emperor International Hotel, I would have thought I came to the wrong place."
Seeing Cheng Gang throw out several questions, the hotel service staff standing by and waiting all felt a jolt in their hearts.
Especially Chen Liming, the hotel lobby manager standing not far away, trembled uncontrollably after hearing these words.
At the same time, he thought: This is bad. I've been thinking about how to serve Chairman Lin well, but I overlooked the most important point: logic.
In such a large hotel, wealthy people from Zhonghai usually come here to spend money. Now that there isn't a single person here, there's obviously something wrong.
"What should I do?"
Just as Chen Liming was regretting how to improve the situation, he heard Lin Chen say not far away:
"This... perhaps the hotel has some other reason."
"Or perhaps... you're today's lucky one?"
Lin Chen didn't know how to explain himself and could only come up with some random reasons.
But even to his own ears, the reasons sounded too far-fetched.
To be honest, Lin Chen had already started to get angry when he saw that the hotel was empty.
Before coming, he had repeatedly emphasized that the hotel staff must pretend not to know them and that the gathering tonight must be held successfully.
Now it seemed that the staff were indeed pretending not to know them, but perhaps the gathering was being held a bit too extravagantly.
Once it was too much, it would seem a bit deliberate and fake.
Chen Liming, not far away, also felt a jolt when he saw Lin Chen frowning.
However, after that jolt, upon hearing Lin Chen's remarks, he immediately thought of a solution.
He immediately laughed heartily and walked over, pretending not to know them.
"Hello, are you the classmates invited by Cheng Gang for the gathering?"
"Yes, I am the coordinator for this gathering."
"Oh, hello, I am Chen Liming, the lobby manager of this hotel. On behalf of all the staff here, I would like to congratulate you."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Not only Cheng Gang was confused, but Lin Chen also had many questions in his mind at this moment.
He wanted to see how this guy would explain himself.
If he messed up, he would definitely give him some punishment later.
Receiving Lin Chen's meaningful gaze, Chen Liming knew exactly what was going on.
It was precisely because he knew that he felt scared.
He was so terrified that his back was already soaked with sweat.
He forced a smile and explained:
"It's like this, because today is the hotel's first anniversary celebration in fifteen years."
"According to the plan, we were preparing to receive the 1000th guest who made a reservation today."
"And you happen to be the 1000th guest to make a reservation at our hotel today, so to welcome a lucky customer like you."
"This hotel has specially cleared out the venue to celebrate for you, in order to commemorate our hotel's first anniversary celebration in fifteen years."
"Really?"
"Really."
Hearing this, Cheng Gang's entire face turned red.
It was obvious how excited he was at the moment.
One had to know that the Zhonghai Emperor International Hotel was a top-tier hotel in Zhonghai, and a meal here usually cost at least hundreds of thousands.
And this person, who looked like a manager, actually said they were the lucky customers for the hotel's fifteenth anniversary celebration.
And they had even cleared out the entire hotel for this occasion.
This meant that their class reunion had booked out the entire hotel?
It had to be said, this was incredibly fortunate.
"Lin Chen, did you hear that? Heaven is helping me."
"With this auspicious start today, I'm definitely going to succeed in confessing my feelings."
Cheng Gang was beaming with excitement. He then said a few words to Lin Chen and went to order food with the lobby manager Chen Liming.
As the two of them left, Lin Chen took the opportunity to observe the hotel's interior.
The decor and design here could truly be considered world-class.
It was even more incredibly luxurious than the designs I'd seen at Guomao Mall before.
"Ever since I got the system, my horizons have really broadened,"
"At least I don't get as ecstatic as before when I see expensive and luxurious things."
Lin Chen marveled at the huge changes he'd undergone in just a few days, feeling a touch of wistfulness.
However, just as he was lost in his thoughts, a familiar voice called out from behind him again.
"Wow, it really lives up to its name as Zhonghai's top hotel."
"Just the decor and style alone set it apart from other major hotels."
"Yeah, it's my first time coming here. If it weren't for Young Master Cheng hosting this reunion, I probably wouldn't have had the chance in my lifetime."
Lin Chen instinctively turned his head and saw that the newcomers were his old classmates, with whom he'd gotten along reasonably well during university.
Seeing the two men and three women softly discussing the hotel's decor and design, he smiled and walked over to greet them.
"You guys are here."
"Huh? You're... Lin, Lin Chen?!"
"Whoa, it really is Lin Chen! You've done well for yourself after a few years."
"Look at the fancy clothes you're wearing, they must be expensive, right?"
Upon seeing that it was Lin Chen, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately stepped forward to chat with him.
The other three women standing nearby, upon realizing it was Lin Chen, couldn't take their eyes off him.
Back in the day, Lin Chen was the school's heartthrob, captivating countless senior and junior girls.
Even when his family was struggling, many beautiful girls still pursued and confessed to him.
And now, Lin Chen's charm was even greater than it was back then.
Especially accentuated by the luxurious clothes he wore, his appearance seemed almost otherworldly, exuding a subtle noble aura.
It was precisely this transcendent, noble presence that made the girls inwardly squeal with delight.
If not for the crowd present, these three women might have even joined forces to 'devour' Lin Chen on the spot.
"They're alright, not too expensive,"
Lin Chen casually replied, trying not to intimidate everyone with his status.
Afterward, the six of them continued their conversation.
Just then, Cheng Gang returned after ordering their food.
Seeing many old classmates arrive, he smiled and stepped forward to usher them to the private room that had been reserved.
