As the most upscale five-star hotel in Ningzhou, the entire Sihai Hotel is magnificently decorated, and the banquet hall is in short supply, so reservations must be made in advance.
Ye Chen walked into the lobby and was immediately attracted by the luxurious decoration here.
Especially the crystal-clear oversized crystal lamp hanging in the lobby. Each crystal is inlaid with gold edges. Ye Chen knows that these are Swarovski crystals. It is initially estimated that this lobby lamp alone is worth fifty million!
"son in law!"
At this moment, a "Hedong lion's roar" came from the lobby.
Ye Chen turned around and saw Li Xiangqin dressed very stylishly and walking towards him happily.
"Auntie, I've been waiting for a long time!" Ye Chen smiled.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can book a banquet hall in the world, it's worth waiting as long as you want!"
Li Xiangqin said with a smile: "I'm going to give your uncle a grand party this time. I've invited all my relatives and friends, probably hundreds of people!"
A grand event?
Ye Chen had a black eye. What he had heard the most was 'a grand funeral'!
"Uh... Auntie, wait a minute, I'll go talk to the person in charge of the hotel!"
"I will go with you!"
"..."
The two walked to the front desk and explained their intention. The lady at the front desk picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke a few words.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie with shiny hair walked over quickly.
"Manager Ai, they are the ones looking for you!" The front desk lady pointed at Ye Chen.
"Hello, I am Alvin, the hotel manager. What do you want from me?" The man smiled slightly.
"We want to rent a banquet hall!" Li Xiangqin said first.
"Oh, it turns out to be a banquet hall!"
Manager Ai nodded, looked at the sofa not far away, and said with a smile::
"You two, let's sit down and talk!"
Marven didn't say anything, and sat on the sofa with the manager. The two parties introduced each other, and then the manager introduced the situation in the banquet hall in detail.
Coincidentally, the hotel's smallest banquet hall had a schedule, so the manager came to receive it in person!
"Manager Ai, let's book this banquet hall!"
Li Xiangqin was overjoyed. Although it was the smallest banquet hall, it could still receive around two hundred guests!
"Yes, but the cost is a bit high!" Manager Ai reminded.
"How high?"
When Li Xiangqin heard that the cost was high, she felt anxious again. She didn't want to spend her birthday at a loss...
"The venue fee is 50,000 yuan, and the minimum consumption is 200,000 yuan! If it is a banquet, drinks are not included!" Manager Ai said.
"What? Drinks are not included, and the minimum purchase is 250,000?" Li Xiangqin's eyes almost popped out when she heard this!
You can't let guests come and drink boiled water. After all, if the birthday party doesn't cost RMB 300,000, you can't even think about it!
Ye Chen also thought about it in his mind. For the wealthy class, this price is definitely not expensive, but for the Su family, it is indeed a bit expensive!
Seeing that Li Xiangqin wanted to back down, the manager couldn't help but smile: "Sister Li, it's hard to book a banquet hall here! Besides, I think you and your brother are also very particular people, so this money is definitely worth spending!"
"What did you say?"
Li Xiangqin was stunned and looked at Manager Ai suspiciously.
"I say this money is definitely worth it!" Manager Ai repeated.
"No, the previous sentence!"
"You and your brother are very particular people..."
"Hahaha, you are such a good manager!"
When Li Xiangqin heard the manager say that Ye Chen was her brother, she immediately laughed so hard that she happily said:
"Actually, 250,000 is not expensive, so just order it!"
"..."
Ye Chen on the side has a head full of black threads. It’s really easy to make money from women, but only if you tell them what they like to hear without conscience...
"Sister Li, if you think it's okay, please pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan first!" Manager Ai said with a smile.
"no problem!"
Li Xiangqin happily opened WeChat, only to find that there was not enough money in it.
"Ye Chen, why don't you lend me some first?" Li Xiangqin said awkwardly.
"OK!"
Ye Chen didn't think much and immediately transferred 50,000 yuan to Li Xiangqin.
The advance payment was given, and the manager also brought the contract, but as soon as the contract was signed, Manager Ai received a phone call and immediately stopped the transaction.
"Sorry Sister Li, we can't give you this banquet hall!" Manager Ai smiled apologetically.
"What? Have we finished signing the contract?" Li Xiangqin frowned immediately upon hearing this.
"Manager Ai, it's really inappropriate for you to do this. The contract is still in our hands. Do you want to breach the contract?" Ye Chen said.
"no way!"
Manager Ai smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, Mr. Jiang just called me and asked me to leave the banquet hall to him. I dare not disobey!"
"Then we have to talk about first come, first served...wait, who are you talking about Mr. Jiang?" Li Xiangqin was stunned.
"Jiang Yingjie! Sister Li, your accent sounds like a local. I don't need to tell you more about Mr. Jiang, right?" Manager Ai said.
"This... okay, then I don't want it!"
What Ye Chen didn't expect was that Li Xiangqin, who had always had a strong personality, would immediately become frightened when he heard the words 'Mr. Jiang'?
"Auntie, who is Mr. Jiang?"
Ye Chen had a rough guess in his mind, but he still wanted to get Li Xiangqin's confirmation.
"The heir to the Jiang family is also the eldest son of Ningzhou. We can't afford to offend him!" Li Xiangqin sighed.
"Yeah?"
Ye Chen had a ferocious expression on his face. He had already met Jin Yeyu and Xu Bo, but the Jiang family had not yet interacted with them. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
After thinking about it, he said directly to Manager Ai: "Manager, I don't want to embarrass you! Please call Jiang Yingjie and tell him that he wants a banquet hall, but according to the contract, he has to compensate ten for one, which means
I’m half a million!”
"Of course, I feel that I have lost half a million yuan! If you really want to break the contract, you can pay me another one million yuan in mental damages!"
"ah?"
Aiwen wanted to die when he heard that, and Ye Chen even said that he would not embarrass him. At this moment, he felt like he was about to embarrass himself to death!
"Ye Chen, stop being so serious, you can't afford to offend Jiang Yingjie!"
Although Li Xiangqin was unwilling, Ye Chen's "lion's big mouth" also scared her. Isn't this blackmail?
"Auntie, leave this matter to me, it will be fine!" Ye Chen remained unmoved.
"Brother, Mr. Jiang has a bad temper. Are you sure you want to do this?" Manager Ai looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.
"Then how about the hotel pay me the 1.5 million?"
Ye Chen smiled coldly. He was sure that the manager would not lose money, otherwise the hotel would have to fire him!
And a young man like Jiang Yingjie wants face the most. If he learns that someone is blackmailing him, it would be strange not to show up!
"Okay, I'll give you a call to Mr. Jiang!"
Manager Ai sighed and glanced at Ye Chen sympathetically, thinking that this man would soon pay the price for his impulsiveness!
Sure enough, when the manager mentioned the matter, Jiang Yingjie's angry roar came from the other end of the phone:
"This is unreasonable! The person who dares to blackmail me in Ningzhou has not yet been born. Tell him not to leave. I will come right away!"
"I want to see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and blackmailed me!"
"..."
Before the manager could reply, Jiang Yingjie had already hung up the phone. The other party was obviously very angry!
