Chapter 307: At the End of One's Rope
The man wanted to say something else, but the woman pulled him: "Honey, don't bother with these lower-class people anymore; it's beneath our status."
"Fk you!" the man cursed again with a ferocious face, turned around, and went back into the room. "This country is finished, there's no saving it. With this kind of people's quality and this kind of investment environment, they deserve to be poor and hungry for a lifetime; they aren't even worth pitying if they starve to death."
The woman advised: "Alright, don't be angry. If we don't stay here, it's the same if we go to another hotel."
The two packed their luggage and walked out of the room with livid faces. The waiter had been standing outside waiting for them, and when he saw them, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Please this way!"
The two snorted coldly. Originally, they thought about not asking for the deposit and the room fee already paid, but they still felt a bit of a sting, so they endured the impatience and handled the check-out procedures.
After getting the returned deposit and room fee, they turned and left. Truly, today's incident made them feel an unbearable humiliation.
"Pah!" The waiter stood at the main entrance and spat, "Because of you, I even had a month's salary deducted."
Yesterday, when the hotel was sealed, she and two other waiters knew it was their own fault and were truly scared. It wasn't until Jiang Chengjie returned in the afternoon and fined the three of them a month's salary that they felt completely at ease; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sleep well at night.
The man and woman had been in Coconut City for a while and were quite familiar with the place. After leaving the Wanghai Building, they walked toward the nearby Binhai Hotel without thinking.
When they arrived at the hotel, a waiter looked them over, and before they could speak, they heard the waiter say.
"Sir, Miss, I'm sorry, our hotel is already full."
The two didn't think too much and went to another hotel, but the result was still full. Then they went to the third, the fourth...
After running to more than ten hotels in a row, without exception, they were all full. At this time, they already understood that they had been jointly banned by the hotels in Coconut City.
It must be said that Jiang Chengjie is still very good at handling things. Thinking that since he had started it, he might as well finish it, he notified several bosses he had a good relationship with not to provide accommodation for that man and woman.
These bosses were also sharp people. Even if they didn't give Jiang Chengjie face, they couldn't offend the legendary big shot from the capital. If they provided accommodation to that man and woman and angered that big shot from the capital, Jiang Chengjie's head would be shaved off; how could they withstand that?
Then they continued to notify their friends. Just like that, in one night, the appearance and image of this man and woman spread throughout the hotel industry in Coconut City.
"Fk you, fk you, fk you!"
The man angrily kicked the street lamp pole by the side of the road, venting the anger and humiliation in his heart.
The woman could no longer hide the anger in her heart and also cursed fiercely: "Fk you!"
"Bang!"..
"Ah!"
The man kicked off-target, and a sharp pain came from his toe. He screamed, holding his foot and jumping around. He didn't know if it was from the heat or the pain; his face was covered in sweat.
"Honey!" The woman hurriedly supported the man, "What's wrong with you?"
The man was grimacing in pain, cursing one after another: "I want to write a report to the Xiangjiang headquarters. The investment environment in the mainland is too terrible and not suitable for investment."
"I also want to hold a press conference to warn those wealthy businessmen who want to come to the mainland to invest that the people here are very unfriendly, and coming here to invest might result in losing everything."
The woman said with a cold face: "No need to write a report. Finish the work here and return to Xiangjiang."
The man looked up at the setting sun: "Let's find a place to stay first. If we leave, it will have to be tomorrow."
The two discussed it. They definitely couldn't stay in a big hotel, so they would look for a small inn. They didn't believe that in such a big Coconut City, they could really cover the sky with one hand.
The woman supported the man, limping for more than an hour. When they were almost exhausted, they finally found a small inn that looked acceptable.
A big fat woman wearing a floral undershirt and floral shorts was sitting on a stool at the entrance, cracking melon seeds.
Seeing them walk over, the big fat woman stood up with a "swoosh" and said with a face full of smiles: "Are you two looking for a room?"
The woman nodded but didn't speak.
The fat woman's fat face bloomed with joy: "Welcome, this shop is clean and hygienic, guaranteed to satisfy you."
After speaking, the fat woman went inside: "Eight yuan per person, sixteen in total."
The two were exhausted and paid the money readily. Holding the key, they walked up the narrow stairs to the second floor and found the room. As soon as they opened the door, a musty smell rushed into their noses.
The woman frowned immediately, but looking at the hygiene inside the room, she had the urge to turn around and leave, but in the end, she endured it, constantly reminding herself in her heart: just one night, just one night, endure it.
The two put their suitcases by the bed and lay back on the bed. They were tired and hungry, and they didn't even care that the bedding under them was a bit damp. They really wanted to sleep right now, but their grumbling stomachs forced them to pull themselves together.
The woman said weakly: "Take a shower first, then go out to eat."
The man nodded: "You go wash first."
The woman tilted her head and looked at the man: "How is your foot?"
The man said: "It's nothing now, don't worry."
The woman didn't say anything else and got up to open the bathroom door. Suddenly, a dark, fat, and long rat darted out from inside, then "whoosh," it burrowed under the bed, scaring the woman into a scream.
"Ah!" The woman sat on the ground with a "thump."
The man flipped up and helped the woman up: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The woman looked at the bottom of the bed in horror: "There... there... there's a rat. We aren't staying here. Let's go, let's go, take the train to Yangcheng overnight, and take a plane from Yangcheng back to Xiangjiang."
The woman grabbed the man's arm tightly, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
The man nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, let's go."
The two carried their luggage downstairs. The woman was very angry. When she saw the fat woman, she didn't speak English anymore, nor did she think speaking Chinese was a humiliation: "There's a rat in the room, check out, we aren't staying."
The fat woman wasn't happy when she heard this. She stared and said: "Little girl, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately. My place is clean, where would a rat come from?"
The man endured his anger and also said in Chinese: "We saw it with our own eyes, could it be fake?"
The fat woman sneered: "Cut the crap, you can check out, but no refunds."
The woman's face was livid. She dragged her suitcase and turned to leave, and the man followed quickly.
"Pah!" The fat woman spat in disgust, "Dressed like a human, if you have money, why don't you go to the Wanghai Building? Why come here to run to me? Still complaining about this and that, what a piece of work." ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
