Chapter 12 No, wait, isn't she rich now?

She definitely couldn't stay in the rental house anymore.

Ling Yue told the landlord over WeChat that she was moving out.

She had rented it for two years, so technically, she should get her deposit back.

But Ling Yue didn't ask for it, leaving it for the landlord as a cleaning fee.

Because Ling Yue didn't take any of the junk in the room; she only took her computer.

Oh, and the packages.

She took the bag.

There was a large box of tissues that was too bulky to carry, so Ling Yue just gave it to the courier station.

After leaving the residential complex, Ling Yue planned to find a hotel for the transition.

She didn't have much capital on hand yet, not enough to buy a house.

Until she saved enough to buy a house, she needed to find a hotel with a beautiful environment that was suitable for recovery.

Ling Yue scrolled through her phone.

Hmm~ This one looks good.

First-line river view, five-star quality;

Private garden, exclusive detached villa;

Chinese and Western restaurants, adjacent to the business district.

A 190-square-meter luxury detached suite, promotional price of only 13,429 yuan per night.

Not bad~

Lucky Draw!!!

A large wheel appeared before Ling Yue's eyes.

"Hundredfold cashback, hundredfold cashback..." Ling Yue chanted piously as the wheel spun.

Bang!

A small cluster of fireworks erupted.

The pointer stopped on the blue triangle: [2x Cashback]

Ohoho~~

Let's book 20 nights first!

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

[Bank card ending in 4456 spent 268,580 yuan at 17:22 on February 3rd, balance 811,750.1 yuan.]

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

[Bank card ending in 4456 received a transfer of 537,160 yuan at 17:22 on February 3rd, balance 1,348,910.1 yuan.]

[Lucky Draw chances: 8]

Tsk tsk tsk, spending 260,000 in one go!

Thinking back to a few days ago, she was hesitating between Longjiang pig's trotter rice for 9.8 yuan and chicken leg rice for 9.6 yuan.

Now, she's really moving up in the world.

Off to stay at a five-star hotel~

Ling Yue took a private car to the hotel.

This low-key yet luxurious lobby.

Every employee had a smile on their face.

Ling Yue went straight to the front desk, "Hello, I have a reservation."

The receptionist glanced at Ling Yue and said indifferently, "Welcome. Please show your ID."

Ling Yue handed her the ID.

The receptionist scanned it and saw on the computer that the lady in front of her had booked 20 nights in the Exclusive Suite.

Looking at Ling Yue's outfit, she thought it was another fake socialite splitting the bill just to take photos.

Rich people are so low-key; her coat is pilling, yet she won't throw it away.

Ling Yue had grown up reading people's expressions and immediately realized the receptionist's look wasn't right.

She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"

"No, not at all!" The receptionist smiled to hide her embarrassment, handing back the chip card and ID with both hands. "Your room is secured. This is your room card.

Ms. Ling, please wait a moment in the lounge area. A private Housekeeper will come to take you to your room shortly."

How fancy.

There's even a private Housekeeper.

Ling Yue put her backpack in the lounge area and wandered around the lobby by herself.

Forgive her for not having seen much of the world.

Staying in a detached garden villa surrounded by lush trees in the city center, enjoying tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, was truly a bit shocking.

"Hello, Ms. Ling, I am your private Housekeeper." A young woman dressed in an elegant, traditional dress with her hair meticulously combed walked slowly toward Ling Yue with a smile. A faint scent of bamboo leaves followed her steps, elegant and refreshing.

Seeing that Ling Yue seemed curious about the hotel, she took the initiative to ask, "Ms. Ling, would you like a tour of the hotel?"

"No, just take me to my room." Ling Yue's head went into shaking mode.

She was exhausted from the day and just wanted to eat and sleep.

Housekeeper led Ling Yue out of the lobby and onto a shuttle.

On the way, she continued her dutiful introduction, "The glass building on the left is the hotel's Western restaurant, specializing in French and Italian cuisine. The head chef is a former Michelin chef. As an exclusive guest, you can dine there without a reservation.

The main building adjacent to the lobby offers Sichuan, Hunan, Cantonese, and Hangzhou cuisine.

Your suite comes with basic fitness equipment... If you'd like a SPA, just let me know, and I'll make an appointment for you..."

The shuttle arrived at the door of the room, where the indoor temperature had already been set to a comfortable 26 degrees Celsius.

The first floor of the villa featured a high-ceilinged living room, Chinese and Western dining areas, a tea room, a study, a gym, and a small garden.

The entire second floor was the bedroom, with a massive sleeping area. Opening the balcony doors revealed a lush green lawn and a shimmering lake view in the distance.

"Totally worth it! The view alone is worth 8,888!"

She couldn't imagine how happy she would be waking up in such a room every day, eating breakfast on the balcony with an unobstructed view of the scenery, and soaking in the sunshine!

"The Exclusive Suite is built on high ground, the best location in the hotel, surrounded by greenery, with pleasant scenery and a private lake view."

While the Housekeeper was speaking, a waiter came up in the indoor elevator, pushing a dining cart.

Housekeeper walked to the cart to introduce it to Ling Yue, "These are the welcome refreshments prepared for you. All the fruit is freshly picked, the desserts are made daily by the hotel's pastry chef, and for drinks, we have Pu'er, Zhuyeqing, Tieguanyin, fresh fruit juice, and more.

You may choose anything you like from this cart."

Ling Yue: "I can choose from the whole cart? Can I have it all?"

Housekeeper nodded, "Yes."

Ling Yue scanned it up and down.

What a pity, such a pity!

Why did it have to be when she was sick? There were so many things she couldn't eat.

Ling Yue took a glass of apple juice from the cart and reluctantly looked away, "I don't need the rest. Please prepare some more hot water for me."

"Certainly." The waiter pushed the cart away.

Housekeeper handed the tablet in her hand to Ling Yue, "Ms. Ling, there are three gifts to choose from in your order.

First is a romantic French dinner for two valued at 3,888 yuan;

Second is a La Mer facial treatment valued at 3,599 yuan;

Third is a shoulder, neck, back, and foot essential oil massage trilogy valued at 3,299 yuan.

You can only choose one of the above."

Ling Yue didn't hesitate, "I'll take the facial treatment."

"Alright, when would you like to have it? I'll make the appointment for you."

"Tonight."

Housekeeper clicked on the reservation center and scrolled through the times, "Is 8:00 PM tonight okay?"

Ling Yue gave an OK gesture.

"The time is set. A shuttle will pick you up for the SPA center before 8:00 PM. Do you have any other requests, Ms. Ling?" Housekeeper stood respectfully to the side.

Ling Yue rubbed her stomach, "I want to order food!"

Taking the tablet from Housekeeper, Ling Yue's expression was intoxicated.

Soft-boiled rich shrimp, I want to eat that!

Nostalgic short ribs, I want to eat that!

Fish maw and yellow croaker soup, honey-glazed char siu, braised spicy snail meat—I want to eat them all!

Wuuu...

Drooling, Ling Yue tearfully ordered a bowl of plain white porridge for 58 yuan.

She had been eating porridge every day lately; the blandness of every bite made her lose all desire.

Housekeeper carefully caught Ling Yue's mood, "Ms. Ling, are you feeling unwell, or are you on a diet?"

"Unwell, I'm unwell! I can only eat semi-liquid food for the next two weeks!"

Ling Yue pushed the tablet away, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Housekeeper maintained her smile and handed the tablet back to Ling Yue, having pulled up a new page.

"Our hotel has partner nutritionists who can create exclusive meals based on your physical condition. Would you be interested?"

Nutritionist, exclusive meals.

Ling Yue had only heard of them but never experienced them.

688/meal, 888/meal, 988/meal, 1188/meal, 1288/meal.

Five tiers in total.

Ling Yue was a bit confused, "What does 'per meal' mean?"

"One time is one meal. Three meals a day would be three times.

1,288 yuan per meal includes the ingredients.

Once you pay the nutritionist's fee, there's no need to pay extra for ingredients." Housekeeper seemed to have anticipated Ling Yue's follow-up question and answered in advance.

Holy crap.

This is way too luxurious.

Ling Yue thought 1,288 was for the whole month!

Turns out it's per meal.

So if she stays for 20 days, that's 60 meals.

Sev... seventy-some thousand?!

Is this the life of the rich?

Wait, isn't she rich now?!

"Let's do it, the 1,288 yuan per meal one! Give me 60 meals first."

Housekeeper was ecstatic inside.

Another commission!

Ling Yue went to the bathroom under the pretext of using the toilet to do a lucky draw. This time, it was still [2x Cashback].

2x again?

How many times has it been? Has the newbie protection period ended?

Buzz.

The nutritionist arrived quickly.

She first reviewed Ling Yue's medical report.

Then she conducted an in-depth physical examination and recorded data, while also noting dietary restrictions and taste preferences.

She looked very professional.

Within twenty minutes, she had prepared tomorrow's menu for Ling Yue to review.

Ling Yue took a look; the list was so detailed it even included the origin of the ingredients...
