"My loan company is dedicated to helping those in desperate situations! Since you've put it that way, I'll extend you six hundred thousand, but you'll need to sign a promissory note for one million—it's a rule," said Wang Dahan as he extinguished his cigarette and looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen appeared conflicted for a moment before slapping the property deed down on the table. "Fine!"
Wang Dahan snapped his fingers, and a man in a suit immediately brought over a printed contract.
Without hesitation, Su Chen signed the contract!
The money was transferred instantly!
As Su Chen left, Wang Dahan grinned, "Once you turn a profit, come back for more."
After Su Chen was gone, Wang Dahan took another puff of his cigarette, muttering to himself, "Still thinking about profits, what an idiot."
The suited man stepped forward, saying, "If we had a few more customers like him, we'd be rolling in wealth!"
Meanwhile, Su Chen had just exited the office building when he spotted Wang Haoyu cursing as he got out of a car with Jiang Xiaoqian.
Wang Haoyu had changed into new pants.
"Sis! Don't hold me back this time! I'm going to make that punk pay! How dare he lay a hand on me! I'll get my brother to deal with him!"
Jiang Xiaoqian crossed her arms and scowled, "If you kill him, what about the house? It's worth over a million! Are you going to give me that money?"
Wang Haoyu glanced at her and laughed, "Sis, you clearly don't understand. My brother has connections; he's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve! Once he steps in, that guy will have no choice but to hand over the house! Besides, I can't swallow my pride without teaching that guy a lesson!"
Jiang Xiaoqian clenched her teeth, "Neither can I! That pathetic sycophant dared to hit me! He even ghosted me before! What gives him the right?"
Wang Haoyu insisted, "Let's go find my brother and make that guy pay! My brother has a lot of contacts in the business district!"
As they walked inside, Jiang Xiaoqian suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
"Xiao Yu, look! Isn't that Su Chen?"
Wang Haoyu turned and frowned, "Damn, it really is that punk! What's he doing here?"
Jiang Xiaoqian shook her head, "I don't know."
Wang Haoyu's eyes sparkled with curiosity, "Come on, let's follow him. I want to see what he's been up to these past few days."
"Right! Let's go!"
Jiang Xiaoqian was also upset; that guy had mysteriously disappeared for so long, came back without apologizing, and even had the audacity to lay hands on her!
She just wanted her house back. What was her crime?
The two got into their car and followed Su Chen.
At that moment, Su Chen had hailed a taxi headed for the Green City Hotel.
In his memory, the Green City Hotel had withstood various natural disasters and remained standing while other buildings couldn't handle the surging seawater and frigid temperatures.
The Green City Hotel had made it to the last!
The hotel was also a star-rated establishment, known for its luxurious presidential suites.
They even had a swimming pool!
It was a great place to use as a base—long-term lodging would work out nicely.
During a previous zero-dollar purchase event, there were many essentials that went unbought.
Ice, anthracite coal—big supermarkets didn't stock these items…
The extreme heat and cold ahead would determine whether he could pull through based on how much of these supplies he could accumulate.
He also lacked ice machines and fireplaces, which he had to purchase now.
And of course, there was food!
While he sourced some supplies from large warehouses, nothing beat freshly prepared hot meals.
So, he headed to the Green City Hotel.
It wasn't far from his neighborhood, just about a kilometer away.
The dining area was on the lower five floors, with guest rooms above.
"Hello, I'd like to order a thousand tables for a banquet," he said directly to a staff member.
The staff member was stunned. "A thousand… tables?"
Su Chen glanced around the hotel lobby, which was genuinely magnificent!
Gold and splendor everywhere!
"A thousand tables, can you handle that?"
"Uh… yes! Please wait a moment; I'll get the hotel manager!"
The staff member hurried off, and shortly thereafter, the hotel manager arrived, flustered.
Upon hearing about the request for a thousand tables, he was equally taken aback!
Wow! What a big spender!
To put it in perspective, for wedding receptions, each table typically costs at least five thousand yuan! At the higher end, it could go over ten thousand or even one hundred thousand yuan per table! A thousand tables!
The minimum would be five million!
The manager excitedly ran out and froze when he saw Su Chen.
Hmm?
Just one person, young and imposing…
He must be one of those hidden rich second-generation types!
"Hello, I'm Liu Xinrui, the manager of the hotel's catering department!"
Su Chen took a one-over.
At 1.7 meters tall, she was attractive and possessed a fine demeanor—a true hotel manager indeed!
Her curvy figure completely eclipsed that of Jiang Xiaoqian.
"Hello, can you handle a thousand tables?"
Liu Xinrui hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes! Shall we discuss inside?"
"No need. If you can handle it, let's do it now. I'll give you a deposit, and we'll settle the final payment in a week."
"Alright! What kind of specifications do you need? We have five thousand per table and ten thousand per table; online we even have options for thirty thousand and one hundred thousand."
Su Chen hadn't anticipated that a five-star hotel would have such high standards.
"I'll take the ten thousand yuan per table for a thousand tables. That's a total of ten million. Here's a five hundred thousand yuan deposit."
Liu Xinrui appeared a bit hesitant, "A five hundred thousand yuan deposit… okay! We'll take it!"
For wealthy clients, a little more or a little less on the deposit mattered little; the key to business is to know how to be flexible.
Without further ado, Su Chen transferred the money, leaving an address behind. "Once it's ready, contact me to deliver it to this address."
"Of course! We'll ensure it's delivered at the first opportunity!"
Liu Xinrui quietly asked, "Um… Mr. Su, are you getting married?"
Su Chen thought for a moment and casually fibbed, "Yes, it's for a wedding."
"Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! May I ask when your wedding is? Is the banquet hall booked?"
Su Chen said, "Just focus on doing your job well, and contact me as soon as possible."
Liu Xinrui nodded hurriedly, "Absolutely!"
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen asked, "By the way, do you have a presidential suite available? I'd like to book it for five days from now."
Liu Xinrui's eyes lit up, "It's available! If you want to book it, the rate is thirteen thousand per night."
Su Chen promptly initiated another transfer, leaving Liu Xinrui star-struck.
Wow, he's planning to honeymoon here!
Booking a presidential suite like that!
How lucky anyone would be to marry him!
Su Chen felt blissful too; ten million worth of food secured, with just a five hundred thousand deposit!
As for the remaining balance?
Ha! In this extreme heat apocalypse, a single block of ice could be worth billions.
As Su Chen left the Green City Hotel, Jiang Xiaoqian and Wang Haoyu were both taken aback.
"Done? What did that guy go in there for? This is a five-star hotel; I heard a meal can cost thousands or even tens of thousands!" Wang Haoyu grumbled.
Jiang Xiaoqian considered it. "Let's go in and take a look."
The two went inside and spotted Liu Xinrui directing staff in the lobby, so they approached her to inquire.
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask, what was that guy doing here just now?"
Liu Xinrui looked puzzled. "Just now? Are you talking about Mr. Su?"
Jiang Xiaoqian nodded vigorously, "Yes, Su Chen, my boyfriend."
Liu Xinrui appraised Jiang Xiaoqian and thought, *Meh, only about seventy percent. She doesn't even compare to me; I don't understand why wealthy people go for girls like her.*
"Oh, your boyfriend! Oh, how lucky you are! He just ordered one thousand tables with us! At ten thousand each! A deposit of five hundred thousand was made right on the spot! With a boyfriend like that, you really are living the good life!"
Jiang Xiaoqian was shocked!
Wang Haoyu was equally stunned!
"A ten million dollar feast!"
