Chapter 15: Hand Slipped

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya, his eyes brimming with undisguised lust.

"Two little sisters, I advise you to open your eyes and not be fooled by such a swindler; where would a truly wealthy person dress like this?"

"He just rents cars, watches, and clothes to pretend to be rich and trick young girls; don't fall for it."

Liu Bin spoke, revealing a greasy smile.

Su Qingqing had remained silent until now, but suddenly stood up.

She walked up to Liu Bin, her eyes ice-cold:

"You say Brother Qin is a swindler?"

Liu Bin sneered with reckless confidence.

"Isn't he? Little sister, if you..."

Before Liu Bin could finish, Su Qingqing raised her hand and slapped him.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound of a slap rang out.

Liu Bin froze.

Zhou Ying froze.

Even Manager Chen froze.

Su Qingqing withdrew her hand, shook her wrist, and said with a calm expression:

"Hand slipped."

Liu Bin covered his face, taking half a day to react.

"You... you dare hit me?!"

"So what if I hit you?"

Su Qingqing held her head high.

"You spoke disrespectfully about my boyfriend; hitting you was being lenient."

"Damn it!"

Liu Bin flew into a rage, swinging his arm to strike back.

"President Liu!" Manager Chen hurriedly blocked him, "Calm down!"

"Calm my ass! This little bitch dares to hit me; today I'm going to kill her!"

Seeing this, Qin Ze pulled Su Qingqing behind him and looked at Manager Chen.

"Manager Chen, is this your hotel's service standard, allowing just anyone to barge into a guest's private room?"

Manager Chen had been watching for quite a while and had already weighed the pros and cons.

He knew which side he should stand on.

Qin Ze had been at the hotel for less than three days, yet his spending had already reached the level of a Diamond Member.

As for this Liu Bin, although he was a regular customer, he only spent one or two thousand each visit, yet every time he acted as if he were spending tens of thousands.

Purely strong on the outside but weak within!

He couldn't compare to Qin Ze at all.

"Mr. Qin, I will handle this immediately!"

Chen Ming grabbed Liu Bin, his tone turning cold:

"President Liu, your unauthorized entry into this private room has already disturbed our other guests."

Liu Bin was stunned.

"Manager Chen, what do you mean?"

Manager Chen wore a stern expression.

"Mr. Qin is a Diamond Member of our hotel, entitled to the highest level of service."

"By offending our VIP guest in this manner, we have the right to ask you to leave."

Liu Bin thought he had misheard.

"Diamond Member?"

"Manager Chen, him? Can he even afford a Diamond Membership?"

"Does he know how much annual spending a Diamond Membership requires?"

Zhou Ying also chimed in:

"Exactly! Manager Chen, don't be fooled by him! He is my ex-boyfriend, and I know his conditions better than anyone!"

"He's been unemployed for half a year; where would he get the money to spend?"

Manager Chen's expression grew even uglier.

"President Liu, Mr. Qin's membership qualification was approved by our hotel headquarters."

Liu Bin immediately lost his composure, pointing directly at Qin Ze with his finger.

"Fine, Manager Chen, so for the sake of a poor boy pretending to be wealthy, you're disowning old customers, is that it?"

"I'm calling the police right now! Let the police judge this!"

"I just got slapped; your hotel must give me an explanation today!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his mobile phone.

Manager Chen panicked: "President Liu, please don't do this..."

"Shut up!" Liu Bin roared at him, "This isn't over today! Your hotel must also give me an explanation, or I'll complain to your headquarters!"

Qin Ze, however, laughed.

"Call the police? Fine."

Qin Ze turned his head to look at Chef Wang:

"Master Wang, you saw everything just now, didn't you?"

"Tell me, did anyone strike him just now?"

Hearing this, Chef Wang paused for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head:

"I saw it clearly; it was this Mr. Liu who first spoke rudely and even laid hands on President Qin's female companion."

"But from start to finish, no one laid a hand on Mr. Liu!"

Liu Bin was so angry he nearly vomited blood; immediately, he looked at Chen Ming, attempting to get him to uphold justice.

"Manager Chen! How can your people speak such nonsense?"

Chen Ming indeed offered a polite smile.

"President Liu! The surveillance cameras in our private room happened to be broken today."

"However, I truly did not see anyone strike you, so please stop being unreasonable!"

Liu Bin's face instantly turned green!

"Is there no law left in this damn place?"

"President Liu," Manager Chen directly interrupted Liu Bin, his tone turning completely cold.

"Although you are a long-standing customer, you must still abide by the laws and regulations."

Voice just fell, and four security guards ran in.

Manager Chen pointed at Liu Bin and Zhou Ying:

"These two individuals trespassed into the private room and harassed other customers; please escort them out."

The security guards immediately stepped forward.

Liu Bin panicked.

"Manager Chen! Are you damn well serious? I've spent over a hundred thousand here; is this how you treat me?"

Manager Chen remained expressionless:

"President Liu, how much you spend is your own affair, but offending our Diamond Member is absolutely unacceptable."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"Furthermore, effective today, you have been added to the Fusheng Hotel Blacklist; please do not return in the future."

At this moment, Liu Bin felt as though the entire world was targeting him.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying was also stunned.

Was Qin Ze a Diamond Member of this hotel? And was the hotel showing such blatant favoritism toward him?

Could it be that he had actually become wealthy?

Two security guards escorted Liu Bin and Zhou Ying out through the hotel's main entrance.

Liu Bin shook off the guards' hands, turned around to point at the hotel entrance, and trembled all over with rage:

"Chen Ming! Just you wait! This matter is not over!"

The security guards looked at him expressionlessly, saying nothing, merely standing at the entrance like two door gods.

Zhou Ying stood to the side, her face deathly pale, her fingers tightly clutching her bag strap.

Several passersby nearby looked over curiously, making her face burn with shame.

Liu Bin stopped walking, turned his head, and glared at Zhou Ying.

"Explain this to me clearly! Didn't you say he was just an unemployed loser?"

"How did he become a Diamond Member of Fusheng Hotel?"

"Today you caused me to lose such immense face, and even let that little bitch slap me?"

Shouted at like this, Zhou Ying felt a panic rise in her heart, tears welling up in her eyes:

"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, it's all my fault..."

"Of course it's your fault!"

Liu Bin suddenly raised his voice, startling Zhou Ying so much that her whole body trembled.

"Yingying, I suffered this humiliation tonight entirely because of you; tell me, how will you compensate me?"

Zhou Ying's heart tightened.

She had finally managed to find a wealthy man and absolutely could not let this opportunity slip away, so she hurriedly expressed her compliance.

"Brother Liu, whatever compensation you desire tonight, I will do as you say..."

Inside the hotel's private room.

The atmosphere quietly returned to calm.

Qin Ze, Su Qingqing, and Xiao Ya all looked completely unperturbed.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Manager Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"Mr. Qin, I am truly sorry; it was my negligence that allowed such people to disturb your meal."

"To express my apologies, I have a proposal."

"The two Executive Suites you previously booked, I will upgrade to Deluxe Suites free of charge."

"The Deluxe Suite is our hotel's finest room type: 150 square meters, featuring an independent bedroom, a reception hall, a dining area, and equipped with a dedicated butler."

Qin Ze became interested:

"Free upgrade?"

Manager Chen nodded.

"No additional charges; it will still be billed at the price of the Executive Suite."

Qin Ze laughed; this Manager Chen really knew how to handle things.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Manager Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll arrange for someone to change your room immediately!"

He took out his walkie-talkie, said a few words, and soon several waiters arrived.

"Mr. Qin, please follow me," Manager Chen said, leading the way personally.

Qin Ze, accompanied by Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya, followed Manager Chen into the elevator up to the twenty-second floor.

Arriving at the door of room 2208, Manager Chen swiped his card to open it.

Qin Ze walked in, and his view suddenly opened up.

The living room was large enough to play badminton in; beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows lay Jiangcheng's night scene, brilliant with lights.

The sofa was leather, the coffee table marble, and in the corner stood a grand piano.

Moving further inside was a separate dining room with a long table that could seat eight.

Beyond that lay the bedroom, featuring a king-size bed and a walk-in closet larger than Qin Ze's former rental apartment bedroom.

The bathroom was even more extravagant: a double bathtub, separated wet and dry zones, and toiletries all by Hermès.

After looking everything over, Qin Ze felt quite satisfied.

This environment was indeed several grades higher than the previous Executive Suite.

"Mr. Qin, please rest now; I won't disturb you further."

Manager Chen gave a few more instructions before leading his staff away.
