Chapter 95 I have a surprise for everyone
Returning to the hotel, the swimming pool had already been filled with water.
The constant temperature display on the side showed that the water temperature was currently at 30 degrees.
Perhaps because the outdoor climate was quite cold, the water temperature had been deliberately set higher.
It was very thoughtful.
Zang Lanyi contacted housekeeping, asking them to take the swimsuit down to be cleaned and dried.
Turning around, she saw Ling Yue dragging a suitcase as she walked out.
She hurriedly put away her walkie-talkie and followed.
Ling Yue arrived at the door of another presidential suite.
She swiped her card to enter the room.
The decor style of the two rooms was similar, but the layout was completely different.
In short, it was luxurious without lacking quality, and high-profile while still maintaining a comfortable experience.
Ling Yue placed the suitcase flat on the floor, crouched down, and unzipped it.
Zang Lanyi was completely confused, "Boss, what are you doing?"
Ling Yue jumped in surprise and turned around abruptly, "Why are you here?"
She remembered that Zang Lanyi had been busy with the walkie-talkie at the time; she shouldn't have seen her slip away.
Zang Lanyi tilted her head, "?"
She indicated that she didn't understand.
Ling Yue gave a light cough, stood up, and pointed outside the door, "You go wait outside for me, and don't peek."
"Huh?" What was this for?
Ling Yue reached out and pushed Zang Lanyi to the door, "This is the first group activity of this trip. You need to participate in it too, so you can't peek!"
Zang Lanyi scratched her head.
The rooms had all been checked by Liang Hanlin and the others, so there shouldn't be any issues.
"Then I'll wait for you at the door." Zang Lanyi took a step back and steadied herself.
"OK." Ling Yue closed the door without mercy.
This presidential suite was officially listed at 566 square meters.
In total, it had 2 bedrooms, 2 meeting rooms, 2 living rooms, 3 bathrooms, as well as a media room, a gym, and so on.
Ling Yue pushed aside the greenery in the meeting room, stuffed a thick stack of RMB inside, and covered it with vines; if one didn't look carefully, they would absolutely not discover that money was hidden inside.
She hid a stack in the refrigerator.
She hid a stack behind the sofa backrest.
She hid a stack behind the floor-length curtains.
She hid a stack in the drawer of the shoe-changing bench.
She hid a stack in the bathroom vanity...
...
Over on Cheng Jiao's side, a very rapid house-viewing process had taken place.
Ultimately, she selected 8 villas that matched Ling Yue's description.
She packaged the videos filmed on-site and sent them to her boss.
At this moment, having just finished hiding the last stack of money and currently marveling at what a good boss she really was, Ling Yue received an information bombardment.
She unlocked her phone.
She climbed onto the sofa and leaned back.
She unfolded the foldable screen.
She opened the videos one by one.
Each video was about ten-plus minutes long.
Ling Yue viewed all the content at 3x speed.
She returned to the chat interface.
Ling Yue: "The last two videos are neighboring units in the same residential complex, right?"
Very quickly, Cheng Jiao gave a reply from her end: "Yes."
Cheng Jiao: "The two houses have the same layout, both with 7 rooms, gardens in the front, back, left, and right, and are equipped with outdoor swimming pools. Villa 1324 is priced at 65 million, modern American style; Villa 1325 is priced at 68 million, French light luxury style."
Cheng Jiao: "It's a lake-view villa complex developed the year before last. The environment and air quality are quite good, the occupancy rate is not high, and the surrounding amenities are relatively complete. Both units are located in the front row on higher terrain, offering a full view of the lake."
Ling Yue wanted to buy a large one directly, like the Bamboo Forest Residence.
Among the videos Cheng Jiao sent, there were also manor mansions covering several acres.
However, she really didn't like the decor style; perhaps it was quite old, with heavy signs of habitation, always giving people a feeling of being rustic and outdated.
Clearly, it wasn't suitable for moving in as soon as possible.
The villas in the last two videos, although separate and only about 500 square meters each, wouldn't be impossible to live in if they were opened up.
The key was that the furniture and aesthetic were very new.
The living experience should be better.
Ling Yue finally made the decision: "Buy both villas in the last two videos, and sign the contract as soon as possible."
Cheng Jiao on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.
Pounding her sore feet, she went to talk to the agent about the follow-up matters.
Real estate has a certain delivery cycle.
Coupled with the fact that it was a commissioned purchase, the procedures were relatively complicated.
Today, only the deposit was paid to lock in the properties; they still had to wait for the owners to rush back before the purchase contract could be signed on-site.
At this time, Cheng Jiao was standing by the swimming pool of the presidential suite, reporting the situation to Ling Yue.
Ling Yue, wearing a nude-pink, flat-angle one-piece swimsuit, swam slowly from the water toward the shore.
She swept all the wet hair clinging to her face back, revealing a full forehead and a petite face.
Water droplets clung to her fair, delicate face.
Cheng Jiao thought to herself that she looked even more like an otter!
Ling Yue did not know what the head housekeeper was thinking.
Her tone was gentle: "I am very satisfied with your work efficiency; you've worked hard. You probably haven't eaten at this hour, right? I've had the chef prepare dinner for you; contact the front desk and have them send it to your room. At about nine o'clock, I will gather everyone to hold a group activity. Before that, you are free to do as you please."
It was now 6:30.
There were two and a half hours left.
"Okay, thank you, Miss." Cheng Jiao did not decline; in order to save time, she was truly exhausted today.
Fortunately, her boss was considerate and had booked king rooms for all the employees.
There was also a super-sized bathtub where she could soak while admiring the magical city night view.
The night grew darker.
In the night in Suzhou, a cool breeze blew gently.
At a certain night market stall, Luo Shanshan clutched her belly: "I can't eat any more, I'm going to burst!"
Qu Shu poked at the remaining skewers on the plate, "There's still so much left, what a waste; let's pack it up and take it back as a late-night snack."
Saying this, she raised her hand to call the stall owner.
Luo Shanshan rubbed her stomach and mocked herself: "I overestimated my appetite. I feel like even if I ate a whole pack of digestive tablets, the food in my stomach wouldn't digest before bedtime."
"What a pity." Qu Shu looked longingly at a certain milk tea brand not far away, "I heard that the milk tea shops of that brand only open in Suzhou. I just drank a cup of Biluo Spring, it was so delicious! I still wanted to try the Biluo Spring ice cream~"
"It's fine, we can order delivery." Luo Shanshan picked up the bag packed by the stall owner and called for Qu Shu to get up.
Just at this moment, her phone rang.
The light from the phone screen appeared particularly bright in the dimly lit night market, shining on Luo Shanshan's face and making it look pale.
Qu Shu: "Who is it?"
"The boss wants us to gather on the 42nd floor as soon as possible! Let's go, go, go!"
Luo Shanshan pulled Qu Shu and started jogging.
As she ran, Qu Shu said: "It's fortunate we didn't go far."
Rushing to the exit of the night market, they met Hu Liyun's team, who had also come to visit the night market, and the group chatted and laughed as they returned to the hotel.
Ling Yue changed into a light green loungewear set and curled up on the sofa of the suite where she had hidden the money.
The employees returned one after another.
Looking at their round bellies, it was obvious that they had all been out foraging for food.
"Very good, everyone is here." Ling Yue stood up, walked with her hands behind her back to the front of the group, "In order to bring the team members closer together, and to ensure that this group trip leaves everyone with deeper memories, I have prepared a surprise for everyone."
