Back to the rental room?

Stop kidding...

After having slept a few nights in a villa that costs nearly ten thousand a night, who would return to a tiny rental shack of just 30 square meters with an added toilet?

Of course, he could sleep there, but compared to a villa suite, his own rental seemed no different from a dog kennel, and holding over ten million in his hand, he could definitely buy a mansion-level home in Hang City, right?

He didn’t expect a villa just yet, getting a large flat was certainly no problem.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation – these four words have always been the basic essentials in the hearts of Chinese people.

Previously, Gu Heng’s greatest dream was to own his own large house of over one hundred square meters back in his hometown’s city area. Now, turning that dream into reality, let alone a hundred meters in a third-tier city, even a large flat in a top-tier city like Hang City was easily achievable for him, so of course, he planned to treat himself.

But buying a house was definitely not something to rush, it wasn’t something that could be settled in a day or two...

Thinking about this, Gu Heng let the GPS randomly pick a star-rated hotel for him, and he headed toward the route it set with his foot on the gas.

Although he wasn’t buying a house just yet, he was definitely not going back to the rental room.

He used to live in a cramped rental because his means were limited, and he had no other choice.

Now that he clearly had the capacity to live more comfortably and lavishly, it would be foolish to still seek hardship; that wasn’t being low-profile, that was being senseless...

....

....

A few minutes later.

Gu Heng followed the GPS to the Hangcheng Park Hyatt Hotel.

Initially, the GPS had suggested hotels like the Amanfayun Hotel and the Banyan Tree Hotel, all traditional Jiangnan water town style like the Alila Hotel, which Gu Heng glanced at and knew...

It’s not that they were bad, but always staying in those tranquility-cultivating, serene hotels, he feared he would lose all his passions, so this time he chose a modern business hotel to experience something new...

Gu Heng didn’t understand the differences between hotels; anyway, they were all five-star, and logically, they shouldn’t be too far off from each other, right?

He parked the car at the hotel’s open-air parking spot, and walked in amid the gentle and pleasant welcomes of "Welcome" from the reception.

Compared to the quiet elegance of the Alila Hotel, Park Hyatt Hotel was evidently much more urbanized, which made Gu Heng feel like he had suddenly returned from a hermit-like state to the realm of worldly life...

There were three receptionists at the front desk. Two were attending to other guests, so Gu Heng approached the only idle receptionist with a smile, "Hello, I’d like a room, please."

Saying this, he handed over his ID.

The receptionist respectfully took the ID, her face bearing a professional smile as she softly asked, "Sir, which room would you like to book? The available rooms are displayed on the LCD screen behind me."

Hearing this, Gu Heng looked up at the LCD screen displaying the remaining rooms...

Standard rooms and the like were instantly ignored by him; his eyes briefly swept over the suites before he said, "I’ll take an executive suite, please."

"Alright, sir. The price for an executive suite is 2299 yuan per night. How many nights would you like to book?"

Gu Heng pondered for a moment, then said, "Start with two nights, I’ll extend if I decide to stay longer."

"Very well, please wait a moment."

Gu Heng nodded, looking around idly, and noticing some fancy candies placed nearby, he casually picked one up, unwrapped it, and popped it in his mouth...

And they were quite good.

Such fancy packaging too, these would probably sell for fifty cents each outside, wouldn’t they?

Total steal.

Just as Gu Heng was listlessly waiting, the pleasant voice of the receptionist suddenly rang out.

"Mr. Gu, after inputting your ID, we detected you are a platinum member of the Hyatt Group, and you’re entitled to a 9.8% discount.

Additionally, due to a current hotel promotion, platinum members or higher can enjoy a discounted upgrade. We currently have two presidential suites available. Would you like to upgrade?"

As the lady finished speaking, the other two groups of guests checking in couldn’t help but turn their heads this way.

Gu Heng didn’t notice the changes around him and blinked innocently after listening to what the front desk lady had said.

What the heck is a ’Chairman Suite’?

He was clueless, only having heard of presidential suites, but this was the first time he’d heard of something called a Chairman Suite.

Isn’t that name a bit off the rules?

But he only said that to himself, realizing even in his naivety that the so-called Chairman Suite must surely be the equivalent of other hotels’ most luxurious presidential suites, much like the villa suite he had stayed in at the Alila Hotel.

Thinking about this, Gu Heng nodded and then asked, "What is the price per night for this... Chairman Suite?"

"The regular price is 8,999 yuan per night, and it includes free spa therapy, a private gym, an indoor swimming pool, chef’s cuisine, and a range of other services. However, as you are our valued platinum member of the group, you only need to pay an additional 5,800 yuan per night after the upgrade. With the discount, you would save about 1,000 yuan per night,"

The front desk lady quickly filled in Gu Heng with the details.

"Alright then, go ahead and upgrade me,"

Gu Heng didn’t show any change in expression.

An additional 5,800 yuan a night, making about 8,000 yuan in total, didn’t seem very expensive, considering those marketing guys online always talk about presidential suites costing tens or hundreds of thousands per night...

Now that I see it, they must be taking advantage of the naive who haven’t seen the world much, right?

However... not everything could be fake, perhaps there really were hotels where the presidential suite cost tens or hundreds of thousands for a night...

But! We must always experiment first! Only through practice do we have the right to speak!

Relying solely on those marketing gimmicks would sooner or later lead one to be swindled...

.....

A minute and a bit later, the front desk lady finalized all the check-in procedures, looked up with a smile, and said, "Sir, the Chairman Suite for two nights has been prepared for you, totaling 15,870 yuan after the discount."

Gu Heng didn’t dawdle, immediately waving his payment code over the scanner.

After a beep, the payment succeeded screen appeared on his phone.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for staying with us at Park Hyatt Hotel. We hope you will be satisfied with our services during your stay," the man said.

A middle-aged man in a suit, who had appeared beside Gu Heng at some point, repeated the thank-you message after the front desk lady had finished speaking and then introduced himself, "Hello Mr. Gu, my last name is Chen, I am the room manager at Park Hyatt, and I can take you to your room now if you wish."

There weren’t any grand gestures.

Yet the few words from the front desk lady and the room manager had drawn the attention of those around, and glances quickly swept over Gu Heng.

Although people come to hotels to get a room, staying in a Chairman Suite isn’t something astonishing. But you can’t help human nature’s love for comparisons; someone staying in a standard room for a few hundred a night seeing others in a Chairman Suite for thousands to tens of thousands can’t help but feel a bit envious.

Feeling the covert glances of those around him, Gu Heng’s vanity was slightly satisfied, and he nodded nonchalantly.

"Alright, let’s go see what the room is like,"

Having said that, he walked towards the elevator under the guidance of the room manager...

....

....

A few minutes later, the room manager carefully opened the door to the so-called Chairman Suite for Gu Heng, who glanced around.

He couldn’t help but mutter softly, "No wonder it’s only eight thousand a night, it really is somewhat lacking."

Room Manager: "???"

Listened to Gu Heng’s muttering, the room manager could only awkwardly smile beside him...

Compared to the presidential suites at five-star hotels Gu Heng had seen online, the Chairman Suite at Park Hyatt could only be considered decent. Aside from its top-floor scenic view advantage, the décor was a bit shabbier than Alila’s villa suite...

With a price of 8,000 per night, probably 6,000 of that went into the extra services...
