Chapter 481: Chapter 225: Scoring a Top-Tier House for Free_2

Without advancing the relationship during private time and in intimate settings, it all ends up being a waste of effort.

Even if there’s some flirtation, it’s useless. Flirtation within the company is fake, and flirtation in messaging apps is even more pointless.

Flirting ten thousand times in WeChat can’t compare to embracing her small waist and nipping at it in person.

If she doesn’t get genuinely angry after being nipped, you might as well push your luck further!

Alright, that’s enough for this little lesson. See you in court...

Lü Shuli and Yue Xiu got off the car at the intersection of Shengping Street. Seeing the slightly dark residential complex, Han Lie took the initiative to walk them part of the way, escorting them for a bit.

"It’s too much trouble for you, President Han."

"Just call me Han Lie in private. We’re friends."

Good friend Han Lie was truly a gentleman, accompanying the two young women while keeping a respectable distance of at least a meter. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Lü Shuli detested Yue Xiu. If she hadn’t been in the way, she would have been the one linking arms with Brother Lie.

Annoying pest!

Yue Xiu was also quite annoyed. If Lü Shuli hadn’t insisted on dragging her along, she could have snagged a hotel room for the night and had more private interaction with Han Lie.

Busybody!

In truth, neither beauty intended to take things further with Han Lie or become one of his mistresses.

They just wanted to develop a bit of a personal connection with Han Lie and become genuine friends.

For this, a bit of flirtation was an acceptable price.

But, with both of them wary of each other, neither found an opportunity, which was incredibly frustrating...

Nothing noteworthy happened on the way. The public safety in Magic Capital was no empty boast. They both reached home safely, and Han Lie bid them an easy farewell.

There’s no need to rush the meat in the pot.

After getting back in the car, Liang Wu suddenly couldn’t hold back her laughter. "They are really amusing."

"Yeah."

Han Lie nodded. He was becoming increasingly relaxed and genuine in front of Liang Wu.

Because Liang Wu was truly like a clinging vine, completely incapable of growing independently of him, she was currently his most trustworthy assistant.

Having such an assistant was indeed incredibly fortunate.

Assistant Liang continued her enthusiastic flattery. "Boss, your charm is overwhelming! They probably knew they didn’t stand a chance, yet they still couldn’t help but try to undermine each other. I was getting thrilled just watching from the side!"

Pleasant!

Brother Lie’s lips curled slightly. He adjusted his seat to recline further and closed his eyes.

"Let’s go, back to the hotel."

Liang Wu immediately adopted a serious expression. "To the Hyatt on the Bund?"

"How are the negotiations going?"

"Not very ideal," Liang Wu shook her head. "They’re very firm on the price, and the Presidential Suite’s decor is quite outdated. However, the view is absolutely perfect. The rooftop bar and the Chinese restaurant are great. It’s one of those places with very distinct pros and cons."

Han Lie thought for a moment and decided to check it out himself.

"Let’s go. Take me to see it. We’ll try to settle it today."

So, in the dead of night, Brother Lie really did take his young assistant to pick out a hotel...

Upon arriving at the Hyatt, it was indeed as Liang Wu had objectively described: the Presidential Suite’s decor style was truly... hard to put into words.

Even with a mental age of over thirty, Han Lie still didn’t like it.

It seemed like a hotel that opened in ’06 or ’07, didn’t it?

How could it be so old-fashioned and dated?

However, their service and view were truly flawless. From the reception to the floor staff to the personal attendants, everyone was incredibly pleasant and welcoming.

"If you’re only interested in the 270-degree river view and the service, the Hyatt offers maximum value for money."

Brother Lie and his assistant shared their assessment, then turned and left.

Next, the only choice left on the North Bund was Banyan Tree.

Compared to the Hyatt, Banyan Tree was a dwarf.

It only had thirteen floors, but its tranquility attribute was maxed out.

Han Lie went straight in and asked about the Presidential Suite; the decor was fantastic.

Dim golden lighting, a gray-and-white patterned carpet, warm color palettes, and meticulously crafted details of exceptional quality.

The 300-square-meter suite wasn’t as large as The Ritz-Carlton’s, nor as opulent, but its comfort level for a long-term stay was considerably superior.

The pool, conference room, and spa center were all very nice, and the rooftop terrace bar was perfect—currently the best in Magic Capital.

"Alright, this is the place!"

Brother Lie was very satisfied. Assistant Liang immediately summoned the hotel’s general manager to begin price negotiations.

Even for a single night’s stay in the Presidential Suite, the price was negotiable.

In the future, some internet celebrities who filmed experience videos paid the official listed price simply because they lacked status.

In reality, when celebrities and business tycoons checked in on a whim, they all received discounts.

Han Lie wasn’t very famous. However, as a lifelong ambassador of the Marriott Group, that status alone gave him considerable bargaining power, not to mention he was planning a long-term stay.

The young assistant was confident, so she negotiated fiercely.

"Don’t even talk to me about your loyalty points. Your Banyan Tree Group only has two hotels in China and far fewer internationally compared to Marriott. What good are points?"

"Our boss is planning an extended stay. I need a reasonable price and the highest level of tangible respect, not just superficial platitudes!"

"But our Banyan Tree’s Presidential Suite has never struggled to sell. Last year’s revenue from individual bookings was close to 30,000,000. Your offer of 18,000,000 is simply..."

"Manager Xie, would you dare to show me the financial statements? If it’s really 30,000,000, I’ll pay the listed price!"

"And can the nature of a long-term stay be equated with individual bookings?"

"Do you take my boss for a young, inexperienced amateur?"

"A deceptive attitude is only suitable for one-shot deals. You’re in the service industry; surely you understand this principle?"

After being relentlessly barraged by the young assistant for ten minutes, Hotel Manager Xie Rong finally conceded.

The final agreed-upon price was 20,000,000 a year.
