Chapter 11: Could You Help Me Up There?

“Damn! That guy is amazing! The aura of a rich man hits you in the face.”

“Are rich people always this arrogant? This is so infuriatingly enviable!”

“Did you see Zhang Qingsong’s face just now? It turned green! That was hilarious! Isn’t he usually so full of himself?”

Zhou Fan, Liu Chao, and Li Qi all burst out laughing. Although they were being a bit crass, they all felt a sense of unprecedented satisfaction.

“Alright, alright, let’s not mention him anymore. He’s just a loser. Come on, let’s have a toast.”

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, wearing the expression of a nouveau riche. He acted as arrogantly as he could, wanting to release all of his long-suppressed emotions at once.

This is a common syndrome for those who suddenly become rich. However, in time, this behavior will fade and he will gradually become more restrained.

“Come on, let’s drink to celebrate Shaochen’s rise out of poverty and his ascent to the peak of life.”

“Cheers!”

After the meal, Xu Shaochen paid the bill and then escorted the three to the hotel entrance. He said, “You guys can take a cab home. I’m not going back just yet.”

“Why not?”

Zhou Fan, a bit tipsy, hiccupped and asked. The other two also looked at Xu Shaochen in confusion.

“Hehe, I have a date with Xie Wei tonight.” Xu Shaochen gave a meaningful smile and shot the three a knowing look.

“Damn! Xie Wei, the beauty of our department?! How did you manage that!”

Hearing this, the three sobered up significantly. After all, this was explosive news. Xie Wei, the ice-cold goddess, was their dream girl.

Xu Shaochen sneered dismissively, “She was the one who messaged me first. Get it? All that ‘goddess’ stuff is nonsense.”

“Have fun.”

The three looked a bit conflicted upon hearing this. Who would’ve thought that the ice-cold goddess they had admired would turn out to be like this? They felt like their faith had been shattered.

“I’ve seen it all now. What’s with the long faces? Next time I’ll treat you all to some young, pretty girls at a club.”

Seeing their downcast faces, Xu Shaochen waved his hand dismissively.

“Hehe… That would be awesome, but I’d feel guilty. So it’s settled, I’ll take two then.”

“I’ll take five. I want to go all out!”

“I’m not greedy, just one will do.”

The three who were just feeling down became increasingly perverted as they heard this. They all started making suggestive expressions toward Xu Shaochen.

After the three left, Xu Shaochen turned and re-entered the hotel, planning to book a room in preparation for his time with Xie Wei later that evening.

“Good evening, sir. How can I assist you?”

Noticing Xu Shaochen approaching, the receptionist gave him a warm smile, knowing he had just spent over ten thousand yuan on the meal.

She realized that this youth, who dressed plainly, was actually a wealthy and handsome man. It’s true what they say: you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

“I’d like a room, your best one.”

Xu Shaochen slapped his ID card on the counter and smiled at the receptionist, his gaze unabashedly tracing over her curves.

In a five-star hotel, staff must meet certain requirements in terms of both appearance and education, especially for roles like receptionists, who represent the hotel’s image. At the very least, they’re never unattractive.

As the saying goes, a full stomach leads to amorous thoughts. Now, seeing the pretty receptionist, Xu Shaochen felt a powerful impulse.

“Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment.”

The receptionist gave him a sweet smile and quickly helped Xu Shaochen complete the check-in process.

“Miss, could you help me up there? I’ve had a bit to drink and my head’s a little fuzzy.”

Xu Shaochen flashed a roguish grin. As he spoke, his gaze lingered openly on the receptionist.

“This… sure, sir. It’s our duty to serve our guests.”

Although the receptionist knew what Xu Shaochen meant, she hesitated only briefly before agreeing. After all, Xu Shaochen was very handsome, not to mention rich.

Young, wealthy, and suave—no woman could resist such a combination.

Xu Shaochen smiled with satisfaction as he walked into the elevator with the receptionist’s help, his arm naturally slipping around her slim waist.

“Sir, please stop. There’s a camera in the elevator.” The receptionist’s face flushed red. Although she spoke as if reprimanding him, it was more of a playful protest.

Hearing this, Xu Shaochen leaned in close to her ear, grinning mischievously. “So, are you saying it’s okay once we get to the room?”

“Sir, you’re so bad.” The receptionist flirtatiously glared at Xu Shaochen, biting her lip, looking temptingly alluring.

After stepping out of the elevator and entering the room, Xu Shaochen nonchalantly sprawled out on the bed and closed his eyes to relax.

Soon, the room was filled with harmonious sounds. Three hours or more of details omitted here…

More than forty minutes later, peace returned to the room.

The receptionist’s face still held the lingering traces of passion, her half-open eyes misty like a pool of autumn water.

“Sir, I’ll be going back downstairs to continue my shift now. Here’s my number. Feel free to contact me in the future.”

A few minutes later, the receptionist finally caught her breath. Blushing, she hastily tidied herself and began getting dressed. She left a personal business card on the bedside table.

“Run a bath before you go.”

Still lying comfortably in bed, Xu Shaochen spoke without even opening his eyes, completely at ease. The recent activity left him feeling quite satisfied.

To date, this receptionist was the most attractive woman he had ever really had. Both her figure and her looks could easily score an eight.

“Of course, sir.”

The receptionist still felt her face flushing slightly. This man was simply too handsome. How could a man be this good-looking?

After the receptionist left, Xu Shaochen finally got up from bed and went to take a shower. Glancing at the business card on the bedside table, he casually tossed it into the trash.

He’d never lack for women in the future. Once was enough; doing it again would be boring.

Indeed, love is all nonsense. What matters is having fun. With money, you can be happy. All his previous worries had vanished without a trace.

After calling the hotel staff to clean the room, Xu Shaochen left the hotel and called Xie Wei, asking her to come to the Longteng Hotel to help him buy a car.

He had the money now, so he wouldn’t skimp on himself. After all, he couldn’t keep taking taxis everywhere, as that would be too inconvenient.

From today onward, the naive, weak, and easily bullied Xu Shaochen was gone for good.
