Chapter 901 Special Treatment, Slapped in the Face
Without waiting for the staff to answer, the woman began to bombard——
"We're all consumers, so why are you being so partial to one over the other? What? Do I look like someone you can easily bully?"
She shrugged her shoulders, pushed Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan aside, stood in front of the counter, and spit on the receptionist's face.
"Believe it or not, I'll call the consumer complaint hotline and expose you! Let the entire nation see just how awful your hotel service is! And you dare to operate in a scenic area with this kind of quality? Who gave you the privilege to act like you're making a killing?"
The girl at the front desk was stunned at first, then she reacted and wanted to explain.
But before she could say anything, the woman's second round of bombardment had already begun -
"I don't care. You must give me a satisfactory explanation today, otherwise this matter will not end!"
Receptionist: "Ma'am, please wait and let me explain..."
"Explain?" the woman's voice was sharp. Seeing that the other party was speaking in a gentle and submissive manner, she became even more relentless. "Who do you think you are? Why should you explain to me? Call your boss! Let him explain if he wants!"
The receptionist looked embarrassed: "It's like this, we..."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Let your boss come!" Then, he suddenly turned to Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan, "Don't leave! We have to clear this up today!"
In order to effectively protect themselves from the sun, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan both wore big sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, and a polymer breathable mask. They were so covered up that their mothers couldn't even recognize them.
The woman's behavior instantly attracted a lot of onlookers.
"Yeah, why are they still treating people differently? They should punish these unscrupulous businesses!"
"Don't they say customers are king? I think they're more like slaves. From now on, I'll avoid this hotel."
"I was planning to book this hotel, but it showed online that it was sold out due to overbooking. I just asked at the front desk, and they said they didn't have any rooms. How come they had them right after these two people showed up?"
"Did you book it in advance?"
"Those who booked in advance are on the lower floors and have yellow room cards. Look, the man has a silver room card. Those rooms can't be booked and can only be booked at the front desk."
"Is that so... That's pretty disgusting. There are so many different levels of hotel accommodations. I'm dead early in the morning."
"The front desk's handling of the situation is also confusing. Shouldn't they calm the person down first to avoid damaging the hotel's reputation? She's still standing there whining and complaining..."
"This is the only hotel in the scenic area. They have a monopoly business. It doesn't matter if the service attitude is not good. It doesn't affect their profit anyway."
"This is too outrageous! Call the consumer complaint hotline immediately and expose them!"
"Yes! Support rights protection!"
"That doesn't make sense. Business is all about first come, first served."
“…”
A group of onlookers were filled with righteous indignation and took out their mobile phones to record the video.
Meanwhile, the receptionist was also irritated by the woman's unreasonable and refusing to listen to explanations, and couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Ma'am! Please calm down! Our hotel is not..."
"Calm down!" the woman said excitedly, pointing at the other person and warning, "Don't say anything! You have no right to speak here!"
"I'm saying the same thing again. If the boss doesn't come out and apologize in person today, you can expect to be complained about!"
The receptionist was so anxious that she almost cried. She tried to speak up several times, but was always blocked by the woman in an unreasonable manner.
"I told you to shut up! What qualifications do you have to talk to me?! Can you make the decision?!"
The onlookers nodded in agreement, making sarcastic remarks one after another.
"That's right! You, a receptionist, can't handle this. Find the person in charge right away."
"Is this boss hiding out of fear that things will get out of hand if they get out of hand?"
"This unscrupulous hotel doesn't even have the attitude to solve the problem - expose it! It must be exposed!"
"Okay! Cancel the reservation! As long as I run fast enough, this unscrupulous hotel won't be able to make money from me!"
"I was really looking forward to moving in, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of crap. Bye!"
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, chattering.
Almost all of them blamed the hotel and spoke up for the woman.
Seeing that everyone supported her so much, the latter raised her chin and felt that she was more justified and was the embodiment of justice.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, one of the receptionists left anxiously, probably to find the boss.
Seeing this, the woman's face flashed with pride. Isn't it going now?
Humph! Still pretending with her? What the hell?!
Then, she turned around and stared at Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan. "Don't even think about running away! We're all watching! There are cameras on the scene!"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
The woman looked them up and down, then suddenly sneered, "You two have connections, right? Whose connections did you use? Tell me."
“…” I’m speechless.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. There are so many people recording the scene anyway. Once it's posted online, people will naturally find out your information. But by then, no matter how powerful your background is, you will be uprooted!"
In modern society, there are countless companies that have been boycotted, collapsed companies, ruined families, and notorious rich young celebrities, high-ranking officials, and socialites and ladies who have become infamous due to online revelations.
Therefore, many local tycoons and nouveau riche now know to avoid cameras, not to mention those who are truly prominent.
This also shows from the side the powerful destructive power of public opinion.
Seeing the two men remained silent, the woman thought they were intimidated by her, and her voice became even more cheerful: "You're so embarrassed to face people after wrapping yourself up like this? Haha, you have some self-awareness."
It’s just that the spectators are so easily influenced by the rhythm, especially when it comes to issues such as social class, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the abuse of privilege. The hatred of the rich directly buries their IQ.
"Yeah! If he can get special treatment, he must have used a backdoor."
"A relative of the boss? Or some high-ranking official?"
"These two people look quite young, and they are more likely to be second-generation wealthy people."
"Oh, with children like this, no wonder wealth can't last more than three generations. The downfall of a wealthy family begins with unfilial descendants."
"They say that dandy young men are the surefire way to destroy wealthy families. I didn't understand it before, but now I do."
"Stop talking, the lid of my ancestor's coffin is almost broken."
"Quickly take a picture and post it online."
"Are these two people really stupid? They just stood there motionless without even a word of rebuttal."
“…”
Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue looked at each other, seeing the helplessness and dullness on each other's faces.
It was a kind of boredom that felt like "the opponent is not on the same level so I'm not even interested in dealing with him."
The woman punched hard, but each time she hit cotton, and the other person didn't respond at all.
She was so angry that her eyes widened and her teeth clenched.
But the two people still looked like they couldn't hear what she said -
It's so infuriating!
At this moment, amid the angry discussions and condemnations of the crowd, the "boss" finally came out.
I saw a slightly hunched figure jogging towards me, sweating and panting from exhaustion.
As the distance got closer, the appearance of the person coming became clearer and clearer. The next second, everyone's pupils trembled and they were shocked.
Isn't this "boss" Director Zhao who just introduced the plant specimens to them in the exhibition hall in front?!
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment: What's going on? Why is the curator here?
The woman's face quickly darkened, and she pointed her gun at the front desk: "I told you to find the boss, but you called the director instead. What do you mean?"
"Want to mediate? Sorry, I won't accept it! I have to see the boss today. Not to mention the director, even if the emperor comes, it won't help!"
"If you guys want to delay and wear out my patience, hey, excuse me, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"
Harsh words were hurled one after another, accompanied by cheers from the crowd; the scene was like a pot of boiling water.
Director Zhao is 79 years old this year. After retirement, he was re-hired to continue serving as the director of the botanical garden. In addition, he is also a well-known botanist and a leading figure in the relevant field.
He spends most of his time in the laboratory or in the cultivation fields. Today he came to the visiting area to welcome two distinguished guests. On a whim, he gave an on-site explanation to the tourists.
Unexpectedly, the girl at the hotel front desk suddenly ran over to find him and said something had happened.
How can this be?
Director Zhao hurried over.
He had bronchitis, and he had just been jogging, so his shirt was soaked with sweat and his hair was messy, making him look a little disheveled.
After hearing what the woman said, he took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and said calmly, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to trouble you. The hotel is a direct subsidiary of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. It is an asset of the garden and indirectly state-owned, so it has no owner."
"But as the director, I'm in charge of the botanical garden and, naturally, the hotel as well. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The old man with gray hair kept calling everyone "you" with a humble and kind attitude, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
The woman also blushed, but then she thought again and realized that she was the one who was right!
What is she afraid of?!
"Director, I'm not trying to pick a fight on purpose, but your approach is just too annoying!"
"This...where do I even begin?"
"Hmph! I came to book a room, but the front desk was full. These two people arrived later than me, and your front desk checked them in directly. They even arranged a VIP room on a high floor. I'm confused. Since we're guests, shouldn't we follow a first-come, first-served basis?"
After hearing this, the curator followed the direction the woman pointed and looked towards Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan. The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Professor Xie?! Ms. Jiang?! Are you here?!"
This...why didn't anyone inform him?
Out of courtesy, the two took off their sunglasses and masks.
Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly: "Hello."
Xie Dingyuan stepped forward and shook his hand: "Thank you for your help."
Director Zhao was flattered. The two distinguished guests he was waiting for were the couple in front of him.
But I didn't expect that we would meet awkwardly in such a situation...
"Sorry, I made you laugh. Please wait a moment, I'll take care of this matter first."
"good."
Xie Dingyuan held out his hand: "Whatever you want."
At this moment, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded——
"Is this an illusion? Why do these two people look so familiar?"
"Professor Xie? Ms. Jiang? Is that the 'Xie' and 'Jiang' I'm thinking of?"
"Oh my god! I actually saw the professor and Sister Yue in person! I'm so excited!"
"I apologize for my ignorance and vulgarity."
"I also take back what I said before. There is no such thing as a rich second generation, a prodigal son, or a dandy boy."
"I'm a die-hard fan of the Yuanyue CP, but I didn't recognize the real one at first sight! My heart aches and I can't breathe."
"Whisper—Professor and Sister Yue are wearing matching outfits! Mom, I'm hooked again. This is so sweet!"
“…”
But there are also a few discordant voices——
"Let's talk about the matter at hand. Are Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue trying to be special?"
"You didn't take off your mask just now because you were too embarrassed to see anyone and didn't dare to take it off? Now that you see you're about to be exposed, you're revealing your identity in an attempt to confuse everyone and change the subject? You're an expert!"
"What? Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue can't abide by the first-come, first-served rule and ask for special treatment? Ha, who gave you such power?"
"What are you talking about? Professor Xie and Sister Yue have made so many contributions to the country and the world. So what if they cut in line and enjoy some special treatment? Some people are so narrow-minded and petty!"
"Ha! This is the first time I've heard someone describe being special as so refreshing and refined. Are you Yuanyue's dog?"
"Whether I'm a dog or not is none of your business, but it's true that your impotent barking sounds like a dog."
"you!"
Just as the crowd split into two factions and argued endlessly, Director Zhao suddenly walked up to the woman and said, "Madam, I think you may have made a mistake."
"……What?"
Director Zhao subconsciously raised his voice and spoke loudly, "The Botanical Garden Hotel is a direct subsidiary of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It evolved from the former 'Scientists Activity Center'. Therefore, the hotel shoulders multiple missions within the park, including reception, academic exchanges, education and training, and scientific research. It is not a purely commercial hotel."
"So, they can live here, but you can't. Most people don't qualify either!"
The woman was stunned, her face turning pale and red.
…
That night, the video was uploaded to the Internet and two hours later, it successfully became a hot topic.
[Pfft—I feel embarrassed for that woman.]
[Are you dumbfounded? A bunch of melon-eating groundhogs!]
[As soon as the curator opens his mouth, you will know if there is any]
The two receptionists were probably trying to explain it this way, but the woman didn't even give them a chance to speak.
[Ah—what kind of modern face-changing drama is this?]
[Please give me more of this kind of cool storyline, thank you! ]
[The person who filmed the video initially said that the professor and Sister Yue must have used a backdoor, but... hahahaha, they didn't need to use a backdoor, because they are the backdoor masters themselves, the strongest cheat! ]
The Botanical Garden Hotel is primarily for scientists, and only opens to tourists if there are vacancies. And yet, some people are actually using it as a hotel? They keep complaining to the Consumers Association. How shameless!
So Professor Xie and Sister Yue went on a trip to Banna?
[Oh my god! This is too sweet!]
[Traveling together, waiting for the wind, appreciating flowers and the moon, and discussing life... They have become the hero and heroine in a fairy tale love story. I envy them so much.]
[Calculating the time, Mingda University just had its winter break, and Sister Yue is already out with the professor. KSWL!]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Professor Xie and Sister Yue only took one room card?]
Netizen: “!”
