Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Initially, Ye Leng’an hadn’t intended to get involved in the commotion at the counter. However, after hearing a few words, she realized that the commotion was related to her. So, she decided to stay, holding Huangfu Ruiling’s hand and standing to the side, waiting to see how the homestay would respond.
The staff member maintained a formulaic smile and repeated the same response as before, “That room is already occupied, miss. Perhaps you should consider choosing another room.”
Seeing the unyielding attitude of the waiter, the girl slammed the table, “You…”
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by a female voice behind her, “Lingling, is it ready?”
With the sound of the voice, a girl in flowing white attire entered from outside. With delicate features and a graceful demeanor, she looked like a refined young lady nurtured from genuine wealth and status within a prominent family.
The arrival of this woman instantly captured everyone’s attention.
“Senior Sister Murong, it’ll be ready soon.” The previously arrogant girl immediately changed her demeanor when faced with the woman in white, adopting a much humbler stance and even speaking with a hint of flattery, “Please wait a moment.”
The girl referred to as Senior Sister Murong by the arrogant girl, who was none other than Murong Yumeng, wore a delicate expression on her face at that moment, tinged with a hint of impatience. “It’s just booking a room, what’s taking you so long?”
At this point, a few other young men and women arrived, standing behind Murong Yumeng. One of the men spoke up, “Xiao Lingling, what are you doing? Is it really that difficult to book a room?”
The expressions of the others weren’t much better. They had been here for quite some time, and yet they still hadn’t secured a room. Xiao Lingling had volunteered to book one earlier, but it had been nearly half an hour, and still no luck.
“Very soon,” Xiao Lingling replied, turning to the staff member with a worsening attitude. “You’ve seen it. Is this your idea of service? Keeping us waiting like this. Let me tell you, if you don’t get us a room soon, I’ll file a complaint against you.”
Xiao Lingling was starting to feel anxious.
This trip was attended by young masters and ladies from the prominent families in the capital. Her family was just an ordinary wealthy family, and she wouldn’t normally have any contact with these prominent heirs. However, as a student at Capital University, she had met Murong Yumeng by chance. Through her deliberate flattery, she had become Murong Yumeng’s follower.
It was because of Murong Yumeng that she was even able to join this group. Therefore, upon arriving here, she took care of everything, including booking the rooms.
Even before coming here, she had heard Murong Yumeng mention wanting to stay in the most luxurious suite in this homestay. Hence, her current dilemma.
“Miss, no matter how many times you ask, and no matter who comes, I have the same answer. The most luxurious suite you want has been booked, and the guest has already checked in,” the staff member said, unyielding. “I’m not authorized to ask the guest to give up their room. Even if you complain, my answer will remain the same.”
Xiao Lingling was furious at the waiter’s response. However, she couldn’t lose her temper in front of so many people. Nevertheless, her eyes held a deep resentment towards the staff member. Clearly, she now detested him because of this incident.
After glancing at Xiao Lingling, Murong Yumeng stepped forward and addressed the staff member with a gentle smile. “I’m sorry, my friend is a bit anxious. Actually, the main purpose of our trip is to stay in the most luxurious suite. I’ve seen online that the room offers the most beautiful view. Since this is a rare trip for us, I wonder if you could help. Of course, I won’t trouble you. I just want to know who booked that room. Perhaps we could negotiate with them to see if they’d be willing to switch.”
Although it was the same request, Murong Yumeng’s attitude was much more pleasant. Coupled with her humble words, no one felt she was being domineering
However, Xiao Lingling couldn’t help but shiver when Murong Yumeng glanced at her.
Observing from the sidelines, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but smile intriguingly. Then, she turned to Huangfu Ruiling and asked, “Ruiling, do you think the staff member will divulge our information?”
Although she asked the question, she had already noticed the wavering expression on the staff member’s face.
A glint of cunning flashed in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes before he spoke firmly, “Yes.”
“Just as I suspected.” Ye Leng’an smiled. “Murong Yumeng truly understands how to manipulate people’s minds!”
First, she revealed her identity through Xiao Lingling, and then she lowered her stance while speaking to the staff member, making him feel flattered. Now, he perceived Murong Yumeng as even more approachable.
Under such circumstances, he obviously wouldn’t refuse a request that wasn’t too excessive.
Sure enough, the staff member began to waver, albeit with some reservations. “However, our homestay has rules. We cannot casually disclose guests’ information.”
Murong Yumeng wasn’t angered by his attitude. She continued to smile and said, “Why don’t you first communicate with those guests? Inform them that we are willing to offer double the price as compensation and book another luxurious suite for them. Ask if they would be willing to switch. Is that acceptable?”
For her, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem at all.
Thus, she couldn’t fathom why Xiao Lingling, that fool, couldn’t handle even such a small matter properly. As expected, those from less privileged backgrounds had never experienced the world.
Although Xiao Lingling didn’t hear any reprimand, her expression revealed her displeasure.
