Chapter-4: Conflict In The Hotel

Chapter-4: Conflict In The Hotel

"Good evening and welcome to Gade Dragon Pavillion! How may I assist you today? It would be a pleasure to help you."

The lady at the receptionist welcomed Xiao Chen.

Her words were filled with sweetness, but her tone was full of haughtiness and disdain.

"Where does this poor boy come from? Doesn't he know that this is a 5-star hotel? Today's kid sure got guts." she thought, disregarding Xiao Chen as capable of staying a day at the grand hotel.

Obviously, those previous glances of contempt and disdain and the attitude of the receptionist were due to Xiao Chen's poor appearances. His clothes were of no luxury brands. His hairstyle was shabby. These all things lead to other rich people's view towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen felt the sense of disdain from the receptionist but ignored it. He was already so excited from the appearance of the system, that he spared no brain thinking about her actions.

"I would like to know the price of VIP suites."

Xiao Chen spoke nonchalantly. But the woman no longer had the facade of politeness in her. She was already irritated by Xiao Chen's lack of reaction, and when he talked about getting a VIP room, she was angered by the thoughts that Xiao Chen was just wasting her time.

"What did you say, sir? I think I missed it."

"Oh, I said that I want to take a look at the prices of Vip room–"

She didn't let him finish and shouted," You said that you want to get a VIP room? Do you know what you are saying?"

Xiao Chen was irritated by her behavior and now she even shouted at him.

"Yes, you heard it right? Now, can I get to know the prices of those rooms?"

Xiao Chen said, irritated by her. 

"No, do you think that you can afford these hotel rooms? This is a five star hotel, not your local hotel. It would cost you one arm and one leg to get a room here."

Xiao Chen was normally an easy going person, but when faced with such mockery, he couldn't control his anger.

"Is this how you treat your patrons? How do you know that I can't afford it?"

A crowd had already gathered around the reception area, eager to watch the drama unfolding there.

People loved conflict. Conflicts were a medium of entertainment for humans. Without conflicts, one's life would be boring. They started whispering around themselves.

"Where did this joker come from? I didn't see a circus nearby."

"Nowadays, poor people lack awareness. "

"Yes, these types of people are everywhere, trying to benefit from the gathering of rich people."

"Does he think that we can't figure out his social standing by looking at his clothes?"

"Likewise, earlier this week, a poor man had come to my car showroom with the intention of window shopping. I kicked him out at the end."

Few moments earlier, Xiao Chen was sent some glances of disdain due to his clothing. Rich people have superior complexity, thinking that they were the top of the world, not considering them beneath them deserving of respect. They would ridicule and belittle people at any given moment.

Now, they got the chance to mock and belittle Xiao Chen, who they thought was a poor person overestimating himself. But Xiao Chen was not enjoying the limelight.

"Call your manager here! I want to file a complaint!"

He shouted, not willing to entertain those people any longer. He wanted to call the manager and file a complaint so that he could take action against the receptionist, and she knew it. She couldn't let it happen, because she knew that the manager was a serious and strict man, and if Xiao Chen turned out to be a real deal, she might get into trouble.

Confidence in herself, an assured by other guest's actions, she spoke,

"What do you think you are doing kid? Trying to disturb the experience of our patrons? Guards! Kick this man out!"

She shouted towards the guards, who rushed and arrived in the reception area thinking that some was causing trouble. After learning about the situation from the receptionist, the guards turned towards Xiao Chen. The head guard spoke.

"Sir, please willingly leave this hotel quietly. You are disturbing our guest's experiences."

The head guard ordered Xiao Chen, but he refused to move a bit. 

"Why should I move? I was not the one that caused the noise. This woman here already assumes that I have money, and is mocking me. Then, why should I be the one to move?"

"Is this the so-called the most famous and luxurious hotel of Qingshan City treating its guests?"

The temperature of the room increased by several folds after this sentence. The previous mocking and ridiculing expression of the receptionist turned 180 degrees to a serious and grave expression. She then spoke some words that should not be spoken by her in the presence of a certain someone there.

"Who do you think you are to complain about the code of conduct of our hotel? Guards, drag this boy out here and throw him in the gutter out the street!"

Hearing those orders, those guards perked up and surrounded Xiao Chen. Those guards were secretly sympathetic towards Xiao Chen. They thought that Xiao Chen was a poor boy, and as such, they felt sympathetic. But it was a situation that they could do nothing about. Xiao Chen brought this trouble upon himself. If they refused to accept or follow orders, they would also be kicked out. For who wants an employee who doesn't comply with his/her employer?

And, they slowly but steadily surrounded Xiao Chen. 

The young and beautiful employer was joyful, and confident that she could teach Xiao Chen a lesson. She was smirking watching the whole scene. It was such an ego satisfying moment for her. "This is what you get for messing with me.

Xiao Chen was also irritated by all of the action. First, he came to a 5-star hotel wanting to spend a night at the luxurious hotel. Not only did they ridicule and mock him, they even dared to kick him out like a common dog. 

But, just as the guards were about to approach Xiao Chen, a loud voice rang up.

The powerful voice commended attention and respect.

"Stop! What is going on here?!"
