Five-star hotels

“Chen Xiao, are you really going to give me something?”

“Of course, I am. Otherwise, why would I wait here for you for an hour?”

Li Wenli pouted, “You clearly enjoyed yourself for an hour!”

“That was also to wait for you, otherwise, why would I be hitting a hammer here?”

“Alright…”

…

Chen Xiao once again experienced the horror of shopping with a woman.

Half an hour later—

“I say, have you found anything you like yet?”

Li Wenli, full of enthusiasm, pulled Chen Xiao and said, “Come on, let’s go to the gift shop ahead.”

Chen Xiao was speechless; the most expensive item in that gift shop probably wouldn't even cost a thousand.

“Forget the gift shop, follow me!”

After saying that, he led her down to the first floor.

He chose a high-end cosmetic store with luxurious decor.

“Pick out a set for me here.”

Li Wenli clutched Chen Xiao tightly and whispered, “This, this place feels really expensive…”

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said to the sales associate, “Hey, beautiful, come over here and help me pick out a suitable skincare set for her.”

“Alright, sir.”

Upon hearing this, the sales associate enthusiastically started introducing products to Li Wenli.

Ten minutes later, Li Wenli, carrying over a thousand yuan worth of cosmetics, followed behind Chen Xiao with a dazed expression.

In this era, over a thousand yuan worth of cosmetics was already considered a luxury for her, equivalent to a month’s living expenses.

Chen Xiao then turned into a sports brand store and picked out two sets for himself and Li Wenli, including shoes.

Only then did he finish shopping, feeling satisfied.

“Sigh, in this era, prices are really cheap,” Chen Xiao sighed with emotion.

He had bought so many things, yet only spent five thousand yuan.

In the future, a single pair of collaboration sneakers would cost that much.

Chen Xiao walked ahead, hands in his pockets, dressed in a brand new sports outfit.

Li Wenli followed behind, carrying large and small bags, her face full of resentment.

Chen Xiao’s spending habits truly shocked her.

Someone who lived on a thousand yuan a month casually spent over five thousand in just over an hour.

What kind of concept was this?

He couldn’t have spent his tuition fees, could he?

But looking at his relaxed expression when paying, it didn’t seem like it.

It was like spending 50 yuan to him, not like spending 5 yuan to me…

Chen Xiao had no intention of carrying bags, no matter who the other person was.

In his previous life, he carried bags for ten years, only to be betrayed. In this life, it was impossible.

“Hurry up, next stop.”

Chen Xiao spoke as if his money would expire if he didn’t spend it quickly.

“Chen, Chen Xiao, I’m hungry, can we eat first?”

Chen Xiao checked the time, “Oh, you’re right. There’s a private kitchen nearby. Let’s go.”

Li Wenli was already a bit numb. Looking at the restaurant whose decor seemed to scream “very expensive,” she mustered her courage and followed Chen Xiao inside.

“Two people, and please check these items.”

“Alright, sir, please come in.”

The waiter enthusiastically took the large and small bags from Li Wenli’s hands, placed them at the front desk, and then led the two to a private room.

The private rooms in this private kitchen were very secluded, and even the soundproofing was excellent.

Taking advantage of the waiter’s absence, Li Wenli quietly asked, “Is it safe to leave so many things outside?”

Chen Xiao: “…”

“Eat your meal.”

“Oh.”

Li Wenli was much more well-behaved than she was at school. In such a private place, she was very proper.

Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly, not knowing how long she could maintain this good behavior.

Once she got used to frequenting such places, she probably wouldn’t be like this anymore.

The two ordered three small dishes, a pitcher of juice, and two bowls of rice.

Chen Xiao was not someone who wasted things.

Things could be expensive, but they could not be wasted.

Li Wenli was still shocked by the price of 28 yuan for a plate of stir-fried greens.

At school, a plate like this would cost at most 6 yuan…

“Are you going back tonight?” Chen Xiao asked.

Normally, Li Wenli might have taken the initiative, but after all these events, she was feeling shy.

“Anything, anything is fine. I’ll listen to you.”

Chen Xiao nodded, “There’s a five-star Hotel nearby. Let’s stay there tonight.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Ah? Fi-five-star…”

Chen Xiao watched Li Wenli’s adorable, dazed expression with interest. He probably wouldn’t see it once she matured a bit more.

“Yes, there’s a computer there, and I have some work to do this afternoon.”

“Oh.”

After eating, the two arrived at the Hotel. Before booking the room, Chen Xiao specifically requested one with a computer.

Looking at a room whose one-night fee was more than a month’s living expenses, Li Wenli saw for the first time that money could be spent like this?

Upon entering the room, Li Wenli put down her things and began to look around at the decor, which exuded an aura of wealth.

Chen Xiao, meanwhile, called Su Tang.

“Hello? Is it done?”

“It’s done, Mr. Chen. All the documents are with me. When would you like me to bring them to you?”

“Bring them now. Junyi International Hotel, 803.”

“Alright, I’ll be there shortly.”

…

“Is, is someone coming?” Li Wenli asked.

“Yes, don’t worry, it’s not anyone from school.”

“Oh, oh.” Li Wenli wisely didn’t ask further questions.

Chen Xiao’s behavior today was completely different from how he was at school.

He definitely had many secrets that she didn’t understand.

Soon after, the doorbell rang.

Chen Xiao said, “Go open the door.”

“Oh.” Li Wenli obediently responded.

When she opened the door and saw a super beautiful woman, she was momentarily stunned.

Upon seeing a beautiful girl open the door, Su Tang instinctively took a step back. She thought she had gone to the wrong room.

But this was indeed Junyi International 803.

“Excuse, excuse me, is Mr. Chen here?”

Li Wenli: “Ah? Mr. Chen… Oh, Chen Xiao is here.”

After saying that, she stepped aside to let her in.

Su Tang looked through the doorway and confirmed it was Chen Xiao at the computer.

She nodded to Li Wenli and quickly walked into the room.

“Mr. Chen, all your documents are here.”

“Alright, thank you for your trouble. Please help me link the account.”

“Alright.”

After Su Tang’s operations, Chen Xiao had his own financing account.

Today’s hidden information was:

“On June 1st, Qingtian Steel had a maximum increase of 6.87%.”

Chen Xiao found this stock and saw that its performance today was mediocre.

Such a small increase?

Chen Xiao grumbled, but didn’t pay too much attention.

Sun Ying’s money was not needed for now. Chen Xiao spent ten thousand today on two phones, and six thousand on himself and Li Wenli.

Moreover, he still had a few thousand in spare cash before financing.

Chen Xiao combined 140,000 with the 200,000 from the financing account, totaling 340,000. He then used 300,000 with a ten-fold leverage to buy all into Qingtian Steel.

The remaining money served as a margin to prevent a sharp decline during this period, which could lead to a forced liquidation.

Chen Xiao’s transaction directly bought 3 million yuan worth of Qingtian Steel shares.

By tomorrow, even with only a little over six points of profit, he could earn over 180,000 yuan.
