Chapter 74: Visiting Three Hotels Without Hesitation
Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan returned to the car, the air heavy and silent.
Seeing Wang Wanwan with reddened eyes, sulking and refusing to speak, Xu Yong gently advised, "Booking a hotel isn't urgent. The family has recommended three hotels through the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association. Let's visit them all before making a decision, okay?"
Wang Wanwan replied, "Whatever you say goes. It doesn't matter what I say; you won't listen anyway. I just have to follow your lead. If things don't go well, you'll still blame me."
Xu Yong was speechless.
Well, there was no way to continue this conversation.
"Let's just go."
...
At this time, not only Lang Ai Hotel but also Warm and Beautiful Grand Hotel, Yue Mei Hotel, and Nanjing Glory Grand Hotel had received the invitation letter. Each of them was waiting for Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan's arrival.
Warm and Beautiful Grand Hotel:
Upon receiving the news, Xu Dashan waited at the hotel entrance early. It was the weekend, and the hotel was bustling. As soon as Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan got out of the car, Xu Dashan, sharp-eyed, greeted them, "Good morning, Mr. Xu! Hello, Ms. Wang."
Having done extensive homework, he was already very familiar with their photos and appearances.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. We share the same surname, so by age, I should call you 'big brother'."
Xu Dashan's enthusiasm was matched by Xu Yong's. Xu Dashan, known for successfully organizing Qin Li's wedding, appeared calm and collected but was actually quite shrewd. After a few casual exchanges, they were already patting each other's backs, feeling an instant connection.
Wang Wanwan, observing the courteous exchanges between Xu Yong and Xu Dashan, felt a slight disdain. Growing up in such an environment, she had seen too much of this kind of social flattery. She believed that if she weren't the daughter of the Wang family, Xu Dashan wouldn't even look at her. In Xu Dashan's world, everyone else was an ant unless they were on his level.
"Chen Boss is still the best," Wang Wanwan thought. Despite Xu Dashan's warm reception, she only nodded politely in response, her attitude quite cold. However, Xu Dashan wasn't bothered. People said Wang Wanwan had a cold personality, so her reaction was expected. Moreover, from the information he gathered, even though this was the Wang family marrying off their daughter, the future of the Wang family's business might rest on Xu Yong. Thus, his main goal was to win over Xu Yong.
With a clear objective, Xu Dashan enthusiastically led Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan into the hotel. "Our hotel is a gold member of the Coconut Umbrella Industry Association and is about to become a platinum five-star hotel. Whether it's the hotel's scale, the number of rooms, or the quality of service, we are top-notch in Nanjing City. Especially our banquet hall, which is grand and perfect for weddings!"
As Xu Dashan spoke, he slowly opened the banquet hall doors. Instantly, a grand, golden banquet hall appeared before Xu Yong. The golden crystal chandelier reflected on the mirrored walls, visually expanding the entire hall. Stepping on the luxurious gold-red carpet, it felt like walking on a path to the sky, giving a sense of ambition and achievement!
Xu Yong's demeanor changed instantly. Having studied abroad and fought his way to his current position, overcoming countless challenges, he finally secured a foothold in the Wang family and met the beautiful Wang Wanwan. Marrying Wang Wanwan would mark the pinnacle of his achievements.
"This banquet hall is tailor-made for me!" Xu Yong's heart surged with emotion. On the other hand, Wang Wanwan looked around, feeling disdain. She thought, "They spent all their money on appearances. It looks like a gold mine rather than a banquet hall."
"KO!" In her mind, Wang Wanwan gave Warm and Beautiful Grand Hotel a big "X". She couldn't understand why her aunt and uncle had chosen such a gaudy place for their wedding. She recalled the vow platform at the end of the glass bridge in Lang Ai Hotel, especially the painting of Venus on the ceiling, making the current banquet hall seem tacky. After a brief stay, she used the excuse of the glaring lights to drag Xu Yong away.
...
The second stop was Yue Mei Hotel. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw about ten people in identical uniforms standing at the entrance. Curious, Wang Wanwan asked, "Why do they have so many similar-looking staff at the entrance? Who's the boss?"
Xu Yong sighed, "They're all the bosses."
Indeed, as soon as Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan got out, the ten people rushed to greet them, each eager to shake hands, not willing to be second. Wang Wanwan, startled, hid behind Xu Yong.
Xu Yong quickly shielded her, fearing she might get hurt.
Wang Wanwan: (╬◣д◢)
Anger +1
...
After this unpleasant experience, they headed to their final stop of the day: Nanjing Glory Grand Hotel.
"I haven't heard much about this hotel before. Is it new?" Wang Wanwan asked.
Xu Yong replied, "I'm not sure either, but since the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association recommended it, we should check it out."
As soon as they got out of the car, a woman with glowing white skin and an ice queen demeanor, dressed in a professional skirt and high heels, greeted them at the entrance.
"Mr. Xu, Ms. Wang, welcome to Nanjing Glory Grand Hotel. I'm Liu Qinglu, the executive assistant."
"Hello."
Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan politely shook hands with Liu Qinglu and followed her into the hotel. Unlike the overwhelming warmth of Yue Mei Hotel, Liu Qinglu exuded a distant aura, making it hard to get close.
The hotel was unassuming, neither as grand as Warm and Beautiful Grand Hotel nor as imaginative as Lang Ai Hotel. It featured warm details and small surprises, making it comfortable and relaxing, even catering to Xu Yong and Wang Wanwan's preferences. Among the hotels they visited, besides Lang Ai Hotel, this was the only one that didn't earn a "KO" from Wang Wanwan.
