Chapter 150 - 115: Booking a Presidential Suite for the Fake Socialites to Share?
It smelled a bit musty.
Even though it had been deep-cleaned today, he still planned to let it air out for a few days to get rid of the smell before moving in.
After finishing up, he drove away from the villa complex.
But he didn’’t go home. Instead, he drove to the Carlton Hotel.
Boss Xu had already told him that all the cameras in the rooms had been removed, so he could stay without worry.
"Are there any Bund View Presidential Suites available?"
Chen Mo walked up to the hotel’s front desk and asked the pretty receptionist.
"Yes, sir. Our Bund View Presidential Suite has an excellent view and nightscape. Are you looking to book it?"
"The rate for the Presidential Suite is 120,000 yuan per night."
The receptionist explained with a polite smile.
"Mhm, I’ll take one."
Chen Mo handed over his ID card along with the Purple Gold VIP Card that Boss Xu had given him.
"Of course, sir. Please wait a moment."
The receptionist froze for a second when she saw the Purple Gold VIP Card Chen Mo handed her.
She quickly recovered, her expression immediately shifting to one of reverence.
She hadn’t even been that surprised when Chen Mo had asked for the Presidential Suite.
The Carlton’s Presidential Suite was expensive, but people booked it frequently.
But she had only ever seen a Purple Gold VIP Card once before, and that person had been a true VIP.
Chen Mo’s was the second one she had ever seen.
Clearly, Chen Mo was on the same level as that other big shot.
Her attitude naturally changed when facing a VIP of this caliber.
Chen Mo noticed the change in the receptionist’s expression.
He just smiled, feeling that the Purple Gold VIP Card from Boss Xu was proving to be more and more valuable.
"Mr. Chen, your room has been processed. A dedicated butler will escort you. If you need anything, you can contact your butler or call the front desk..."
The receptionist respectfully handed him the key card and his ID with both hands, explaining the services that came with the Presidential Suite.
The Presidential Suite came with separate services, including a dedicated one-on-one butler.
There was also a private car service.
Of course, the service fees weren’t cheap either.
They were typically 10-15% of the room rate.
However, the Purple Gold VIP Card waived not only the room rate but the service fees as well.
"Alright, thank you."
Chen Mo nodded at her, then followed the butler into the elevator and up to the 51st floor of the hotel.
After swiping the key card, Chen Mo stepped into the Carlton’s Presidential Suite with its unbeatable Bund view.
As soon as he entered the room, his attention was captured by the night view of the Bund through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.
He had been to the Bund more than once, but this was the first time he’d ever looked down on it from this angle.
The city glittered with decadent lights and flashing neon.
Below, the traffic was endless, and people milled about.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking down was a truly extraordinary feeling.
"Mr. Chen, our Presidential Suite is 410 square meters and is equipped with a private bathroom, a private dining room, a mini-bar, a walk-in closet, and more..."
"It also includes 24-hour butler service, access to the executive lounge, a complimentary pantry, high-end bedding, a private spa, and a meeting space..."
"In addition to the services, there is also the beautiful view before you. You can overlook the Bund and take in the entire magnificent scenery..."
The butler gave him a detailed introduction to the suite’s facilities and services.
"Thank you. I’ll call you if I need anything."
Chen Mo nodded at him.
"Then please get some rest. Just call me if you need anything."
The butler understood Chen Mo’s meaning and immediately left the room.
Chen Mo wandered around the suite and found it to be truly luxurious.
No wonder people were still willing to stay here even at a price of 120,000 yuan per night.
The view, facilities, and service were indeed top-tier.
’No wonder those wannabe socialites love to pool their money to rent a suite like this for photoshoots.’
Chen Mo recalled a news story he’d seen online about wannabe socialites creating group chats to pool money for photoshoots in presidential suites.
Each person would only have to pay a fraction of the room fee to get their pictures taken in the suite.
They weren’t allowed to eat the complimentary desserts and food that came with the suite; it was all just for props in their photos.
’If I ever fall on hard times, I could just book a presidential suite every day and rent it out to those wannabe socialites.’
An interesting idea suddenly popped into Chen Mo’s head.
The original price was 120,000 yuan per night.
He could just rent it out for 100,000 yuan a night to 24 of them.
That’s 4,200 yuan each for one hour. They could take as many photos as they want.
If they thought that was too expensive, he could just get more people to chip in.
Forty-eight wannabe socialites, 2,100 yuan each for half an hour.
He could even order food for them to use in their photos, so they wouldn’t have to look so pathetic, posing with just the hotel’s complimentary desserts.
After all, he could order up to 3,000 yuan worth of food for free.
When you thought about it, it would be a huge bargain for those socialites and their Jimei to rent from him.
’It’s a decent thought, but if I actually did it, Boss Xu would probably hunt me down.’
Chen Mo shook his head and laughed at himself. The idea was highly feasible, just a bit scummy.
He probably wouldn’t do it unless he was truly desperate.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Chen Mo glanced through the peephole before opening the door.
"What’s with the presidential suite today?"
When the door opened, he saw the lovely Pan Kejia standing in the doorway.
Her eyes were full of surprise as she looked at Chen Mo and asked curiously.
The hotel rooms they usually stayed in were nice, but why the sudden, drastic upgrade today?
She had never stayed in the Carlton’s Presidential Suite, but she knew the price.
Given how often they stayed in hotels, even if they were rich, staying in the presidential suite seemed too wasteful, didn’t it?
"A friend of mine owns this hotel. He gave me a VIP card, so I can stay in any room for free."
Chen Mo stepped aside to let her in, explaining casually.
"Your friend is so generous."
Surprise appeared on Pan Kejia’s charmingly beautiful face.
Staying in any room for free... she knew exactly how valuable that card was.
Just for tonight, he was saving 120,000 yuan.
She remembered the three-star Michelin restaurant they’d eaten at before, where Chen Mo could also eat anything under 10,000 yuan for free.
"The night view is beautiful, isn’t it?"
Chen Mo took her hand and led her to the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
"It’s gorgeous!"
Pan Kejia looked down, gazing at the nightscape of the Bund below.
Her eyes filled with awe, and she couldn’t help but take out her phone and start taking pictures of the scene below.
"Tell me, wouldn’t it be a whole new experience to... go for a ride while watching the scenery outside?"
Watching her graceful back, Chen Mo’s lips curved into a slight smile as an idea formed in his mind.
"You’re so shameless!"
Pan Kejia turned her head and shot him a playful, coquettish glare.
But despite what she said, deep down, she couldn’t help but start imagining the scene Chen Mo had described.
It seemed like it really would be just as he said—a very unusual experience...
Chen Mo smiled and looked at her outfit for the evening.
She was wearing a tight, black, off-the-shoulder dress that hugged her hips.
It perfectly showed off her figure, revealing her fair shoulders and long, pale legs, making her exceptionally eye-catching.
A pair of black high heels made her posture even more statuesque.
The only negative was that she had come bare-legged.
She was missing a pair of black stockings.
"Didn’t I tell you? It’s cold out, you should add some stockings."
Chen Mo came up behind her and patted her shapely rear.
"They’re in my bag. You and your little hobby, how could I forget?"
Pan Kejia mumbled without turning around, still taking pictures.
Hearing this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. ’What an observant and considerate girl.’
Since she was being so considerate, Chen Mo certainly wasn’t going to waste any time.
He and she got onto the racetrack together.
It was just that the scenery from the racetrack today was exceptionally beautiful.
"Enjoying the view?"
Chen Mo asked with a laugh, his lips close to her ear.
"I wasn’t paying attention to the view..."
Pan Kejia answered, her voice languid and weak.
When you’re speeding down the racetrack, who has the mind to pay attention to the scenery?
"That won’t do. The night view is this suite’s biggest selling point. It would be a shame if you didn’t look."
"Let’s take another look. You can’t get distracted this time."
Chen Mo said with a look of mock regret, and then once again, he joined her in watching the night view of the Bund below the floor-to-ceiling windows.
