Chapter 18: Holiday Hotel

Celestial Paradise Holiday Hotel, Room 1808—a one-bedroom Advanced apartment.

The modern minimalist style and smart home appliances left Su Yunzhou deeply satisfied. The price of two thousand yuan a night was well worth it. Of course, that was assuming money wasn't an issue.

He reclined in the comfortable single sofa, staring blankly at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun was setting in the west. A few rays of the afterglow spilled onto the exterior walls of a nearby upscale residential complex, as if bidding farewell to the day.

CLICK.

This beautiful scene was captured. Su Yunzhou opened Little Blue Book and habitually looked up a certain someone. They hadn't posted any new updates. After a moment of thought, he drafted a post to share the beauty of this moment.

"Working hard at living life~"

Attached image: the clouds outside the high-rise window.

Putting down his phone, he stretched luxuriously. As expected, staying in a hotel was a wise decision. With his current funds, buying a house would mean settling for something mediocre. He was better off keeping his cash to make more money.

Besides, hotels were fantastic! There was food, drinks, and room service. If he got tired of a place, he could just switch to another one. This was what true, unbridled freedom looked like!

Right at that moment.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

A knock on the door sounded, followed by a gentle voice. "Mr. Su, hello! Is now a good time? Based on your request, I've brought the hotel's butlers over."

"Come in!" Su Yunzhou called out.

A supervisor in a black hotel uniform swiped a keycard and walked in first. She was a woman in her forties, very well-maintained, and exuded an elegant temperament. Right behind her, one man and four women in the same black uniforms entered. The four female butlers were as uniquely beautiful as the four seasons, making them incredibly pleasing to the eye.

The supervisor introduced them, "Mr. Su, allow me to brief you on the basic information of these butlers..."

Su Yunzhou listened quietly, his gaze assessing each candidate as they were introduced. But the system showed no reaction at all. He sighed inwardly, realizing that Tong's standards for selecting mature women were surprisingly high.

Seeing this, the supervisor immediately asked, "Mr. Su, is there a problem?"

Su Yunzhou shook his head. Although his body really wanted to choose a female butler, from a long-term perspective, he needed to avoid unnecessary trouble to increase his Affinity as quickly as possible. Finally, his gaze settled on the only man in the group.

"I'll choose him!"

The supervisor was slightly surprised. The vast majority of young men would pick a female butler, while female clients would choose a male one. The reason, of course, went without saying.

After confirming the choice of butler, the supervisor led the four female butlers away.

One of the young, pretty female butlers felt a bit indignant. She wondered why this handsome guy hadn't chosen her, the prettiest of them all. She reasoned that he must be putting on an act, as she had never lost when it came to charm.

Once they left, the man—who sported a buzz cut, had resolute features, and looked to be in his thirties—introduced himself.

"Mr. Su, hello! My name is Jian Shan. Starting today, I will be your private butler.

"Just let me know whatever you need while you're at the hotel."

Su Yunzhou nodded. "All right! I haven't eaten yet. What does the hotel have for dinner?"

Jian Shan thought for a moment before recommending, "On the ninth floor of our Celestial Paradise Holiday Hotel, there's a highly rated establishment called Mobei Western Restaurant. The head chef was specially recruited by our boss from a Michelin Restaurant.

"They only serve twenty outside guests a day and require advance reservations.

"However, VIP members staying at the hotel can dine directly without a reservation.

"The menu is customized based on the fresh ingredients available each day. I suggest you give it a try."

Su Yunzhou nodded with interest. "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to take a shower and then head down to eat."

"Mr. Su, will any friends be joining you?"

"Just me!"

"Understood! I will go arrange it immediately."

After confirming there was nothing else, Jian Shan turned and took his leave. As soon as he stepped out the door, he called the ninth floor to arrange the meal.

A guest's spending at the hotel was directly tied to their butler's performance metrics. When his employer had asked, he actually had several backup options in mind. But recommending a premium option meant a higher commission. Why wouldn't he? Besides, that exclusive feeling was exactly what these rich heirs were looking for.

Back in the room, Su Yunzhou strolled toward the bathroom. He really was a bit tired after running around all day.

The water temperature was perfect and incredibly comfortable. It was just a pity it had been a long time since he'd gotten any action. But at the current pace, it shouldn't be long now. For a man showering alone, five minutes was more than enough.

Su Yunzhou walked out wearing a bathrobe and picked up his phone. There was a message from Jian Shan: "Mr. Su, everything has been arranged. You may head down to dine at your convenience."

He replied with an "Okay," dried his hair, and changed into a white T-shirt and black shorts. Wearing a pair of slippers, he headed downstairs.

Ninth floor. Mobei Western Restaurant.

This establishment was quite famous. Thanks to its upscale atmosphere and various gimmicks, business was booming.

Food vlogger Miaomiao had been on the waiting list for a month and was finally going to taste their food today. She wore a white short-sleeved top that exposed her slender, fair arms and tiny waist. The generous curves at her chest were on full display; who knew what she had applied there, but the skin was unnaturally pale.

With her long hair cascading over her shoulders and a sweet smile on her face, she held up her phone in one hand while waving her queue number in the other.

"To all my family members in the stream, there's only one person left ahead of me! I'm so excited. I'm about to taste a Michelin chef's culinary masterpieces.

"It's a pity the restaurant has a no-livestreaming rule, but Miaomiao will definitely record all the food and share it with everyone when I get home tonight!"

The chat in the livestream rolled rapidly.

A fan complained regretfully, "What kind of trash restaurant is this? Why can't you stream? One star!"

"To the guy above: this Western restaurant costs two thousand a head. Think about the caliber of people who eat there! And you want to livestream?"

"Makes sense! Rich people don't like showing their faces in public!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You guys are too shallow. It's because their mistresses and side chicks don't like showing their faces in public!"

"The guy above speaks the truth! Even when I take a female coworker out for spicy hotpot, I keep it strictly on the down-low. If anyone dared to film me, I'd smash their phone."

"Spicy hotpot? You're a hardcore dude!"

The chat was buzzing with discussion. This scene was exactly the result Miaomiao wanted. Internet celebrities thrived on traffic. As for these gullible followers, the more they argued, the better!

"Thank you to '180/18' for gifting the Big Airplane!

"Brother 18, I received the package you sent! At 10:30 tonight, I'll wear it just for you!

"Family, they're calling my number, so I'm signing off for now. Love you all! Heart hands!"

After Miaomiao ended the stream, the sweet smile on her face vanished in an instant. She slipped on the light-colored jacket she had brought with her and leisurely stood up, walking toward the server calling out the numbers.

As she walked, she transformed into an elegant, slightly aloof lady. Even her voice changed, carrying a hint of haughtiness.

"I'm number 20!"

After verifying her number, the server said, "Your table is in Zone C. Please follow me!"
