After Wang Yuyan emerged from the garage, she headed towards the hotel's main entrance.
Seeing Qin Xuan standing there obediently, like a statue, inexplicably lifted her mood. She smiled and said,
"Let's go. I'm in a good mood today, I'll take you to an upper-class room. Rooms like these aren't for just anyone, you know."
The layout of the Yi Si Grand Hotel bore some resemblance to ancient times.
It was divided into regular rooms, mid-tier rooms, upper-class rooms, VIP rooms, and top-tier VIP rooms.
The better the room, the better the service.
VIP rooms were not only luxurious but also offered impeccable service; whatever you could think of, the hotel had it.
Even the 'ladies' services were of the highest caliber, incomparable to those found on the streets.
For those attending the gem auction, arrangements had been made in advance.
Since Wang Yuyan's grandfather hadn't come, they were only assigned an upper-class room this time.
However, in Wang Yuyan's eyes, even an upper-class room was an incredibly luxurious place for Qin Xuan, something he had likely never seen in his life.
Qin Xuan remained silent and handed Wang Yuyan a set of keys.
"I've already booked it, let's go."
"You've booked it?" Wang Yuyan raised her beautiful eyebrows.
"You managed to book a room here?"
Rooms at the Yi Si Grand Hotel weren't easily obtainable.
Even a regular room required a White Card issued by Millennium Jewelry.
Those with White Cards were either business partners of Millennium Jewelry or prominent figures.
Qin Xuan shrugged and casually replied,
"A former classmate of mine happens to work at this hotel. I just ran into him, and he got me a room."
Wang Yuyan nodded, a hint of regret in her voice.
"No wonder. I was planning to treat you to an upper-class room tonight, but you booked it yourself. Well, we'll just have to make do for tonight. It's a shame you won't get to experience the high-class room service. The abalone there is the best I've ever tasted; you'll miss out on that delicacy."
The two entered the elevator together.
Qin Xuan directly pressed the button for the eighteenth floor.
This was the highest floor in the Yi Si Hotel.
"Qin Xuan, why did you press eighteen? Did you press the wrong button? The eighteenth floor is for top-tier VIPs, quickly cancel and press three," Wang Yuyan urged him.
The third floor was for regular rooms.
In Wang Yuyan's opinion, Qin Xuan's classmate could at most get him a regular room, and Qin Xuan must have made a mistake.
Even her grandfather only stayed on the fifteenth floor.
Qin Xuan smiled.
"I didn't press the wrong button. It's the eighteenth floor. My friend booked me a room on the eighteenth floor."
Just then, a woman with heavy makeup, who was passable in appearance, standing in the same elevator, scoffed.
"You're trying to make me laugh. The eighteenth floor? Why don't you say you're staying on the rooftop? The view is better there, and you can feel the natural breeze. It's more suitable for your bragging. If you're staying on the eighteenth floor, I'll kneel down and polish your shoes!"
Wang Yuyan felt as if Qin Xuan was completely embarrassing her.
This guy, he can't even brag without using his brain. The eighteenth floor, is that something an ordinary person can stay in?
Qin Xuan shifted slightly towards Wang Yuyan, a hint of disdain in his voice.
"No need. With the amount of powder on your face, I'm afraid it'll stick to my shoes and be hard to clean."
"Pfft..." Wang Yuyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You!" The woman stamped her foot in anger. Some of the powder on her face indeed fell off, but she ignored it. Instead, she fumed,
"I'll go up with you today and see if you're really staying on the eighteenth floor, you broke pauper who only knows how to brag." With that, the woman canceled her own floor selection.
Qin Xuan smiled playfully.
"What if I really am staying on the eighteenth floor? Then you don't have to polish my shoes. Your face has too much powder; let's do something else."
The woman gritted her teeth, suppressing her rage, and said,
"Fine. Then let's bet a million! If you're truly staying on the eighteenth floor, I'll give you a million! But if you lose, judging by your attire, I doubt you can afford a million. So, if you lose, you'll kneel and lick my shoes, how about that?"
Hearing this demand, Wang Yuyan felt indignant. A million, who couldn't afford a million?
Although she knew Qin Xuan was just trying to save face and bragging, this was too insulting. She was about to say she would pay the million for Qin Xuan.
But Qin Xuan immediately and decisively replied,
"Alright, it's settled then."
A sly smile crept onto the woman's lips.
Hmph, still bragging about the eighteenth floor. When you're kneeling to lick my shoes, I'll record a video and post it online. How impressive would that be?
Wang Yuyan hadn't expected Qin Xuan to agree so readily. Was he an idiot? To agree to such a humiliating bet.
Even if he lost, it was just a million.
Didn't her grandfather give him a hundred million? Couldn't he spare a million?
"Hmph, I don't care about you anymore, you scoundrel. Don't say you know me afterwards."
Wang Yuyan pouted, crossing her arms and turning her face away, ignoring Qin Xuan.
The elevator quickly reached the eighteenth floor.
The three of them exited the elevator.
Qin Xuan glanced at the corridor, which felt both familiar and strange.
Using the memory in his mind, Qin Xuan led Wang Yuyan and the woman to a room named "Splendor."
"This is it," Qin Xuan pointed to the room and said to Wang Yuyan.
"Open the door. I gave you the key earlier."
"Hmph, still pretending. Fine, today I'll see how you open this door," the heavily made-up woman behind them sneered.
Wang Yuyan felt her face had sunk eighteen fathoms deep.
Open, open what? This is an embarrassment beyond measure.
Reluctantly, Wang Yuyan took out the key and, with great reluctance, inserted it into the lock of the room door.
Instantly, all three pairs of eyes fell on Wang Yuyan's hand.
"Click!" As Wang Yuyan turned the key, the door swung open!
Wang Yuyan's delicate face was filled with surprise.
It... it opened!
It actually opened!
The woman was also in disbelief.
"This... how is this possible!"
Qin Xuan pushed the door open and said to the woman,
"The door is open. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
"Impossible, this is impossible!" The woman shook her head frantically.
"How could you possibly have the key to the eighteenth floor? Impossible! You must have stolen it! Yes! You stole it! I'm going to report you! I'm going to report you! Stealing here, you're finished!"
"If you want to report me, go ahead. I'll be waiting," Qin Xuan had no desire to waste more words on this clown. He gently pushed Wang Yuyan inside and then smiled at the woman.
"Remember this room number. Whenever you're ready to deliver the million, I'll be here."
The woman stood frozen, unable to accept it.
How could this guy possibly stay on the eighteenth floor?!
Could he be some young master from a wealthy family? But his attire didn't suggest that.
Could it really be stolen keys? No, I have to report him!
With that, she quickly turned and headed downstairs.
