Chapter 38: Testing before Farewell



Oasis Hotel's business was booming, and Gu Huaiwei didn't return to the real world for several weeks.

Mu Lingxi was extremely busy in the real world.

When university started, Mu Lingxi successfully paid her tuition and used her time after school every day to help Gu Huaiwei deal with her troubles.

At the Oasis Hotel, during lunch break, Gu Huaiwei returned to the staff lounge to have a cup of coffee when Mu Lingxi called.

Her voice came from the other end of the receiver, full of excitement: "Huaiwei, Sister Jin wants to ask you, do you still have the gold you sold her before?

Now there is a mysterious buyer who is paying a high price for this kind of gold coin."

"Mysterious buyer? Maybe we can find out who's behind this?"

This mysterious buyer made Gu Huaiwei alert, and she cared more about the safety of the transaction.

"Well, I asked a senior from the computer science department for help. He knows some hacking skills, but the buyer hid it very well and we couldn't find out at all."

Mu Lingxi was a little distressed. She had tried her best to mobilize her connections to prevent anyone from disrupting their business, but the mysterious buyer was hiding too deeply and she couldn't dig him out.

"However, their price is very high. If you are not worried, you can cooperate with Sister Jin. Sister Jin will come forward to negotiate with them, and you and Sister Jin will split the profits equally."

The station is under construction and Gu Huaiwei has not received the park card yet.

Before she fully understood the surveillance rules of the park, Gu Huaiwei didn't dare to act rashly.

Gu Huaiwei said carefully: "The other party's identity is unknown, so I won't sell it for now. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll go back and see Sister Jin to discuss this matter in detail."

"What about the car? The salesperson at the 4S dealership said that the SUV you had your eye on is now in stock.

If you invest 5 million yuan, you can apply for a three-year interest-free loan."

"I already have a new car." Gu Huaiwei took a photo and sent it to Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi looked at the armored car in the photo: "What a cool modified car!"

"I won it from a bet."

"Oh, it's free, that would be even better."

The door of the lounge was half-open. Gu Huaiwei was chatting with Mu Lingxi. Lin She stood at the door and knocked three times.

Gu Huaiwei raised her hand and asked Lin She to wait for a moment. She spoke a few more words to Mu Lingxi before hanging up the phone.

"What's the matter?" She walked towards Lin Snake.

Lin She: "A customer wants to check out."

"Then help him with it. The rooms are in short supply right now, and there are a lot of people queuing behind." Gu Huaiwei is not worried about the source of customers now, so there is no need to retain customers.

Lin She stood at the door without moving: "That customer wants to see you in person. He lives in room 302."

"Hmm?" Gu Huaiwei thought about it carefully and realized that the person living in room 302 was Xiao Youqi.

Ever since we stopped doing business with him, he rarely shows up in the hotel. He's been missing for a while now, and I don't know what he's busy with.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Gu Huaiwei returned to the front desk, where Xiao Youqi was already waiting. She took the room card from Xiao Youqi and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to check out?"

"Something happened in the dungeon, I have to go back." Xiao Youqi, wearing the leather jacket he came in, tapped lightly on the desk at the front desk. "Miss Gu, have your new goods arrived?"

"Not yet. The hotel business is very good recently and I am busy." Gu Huaiwei skillfully helped him with the check-out procedures.

A barely perceptible glint flashed across Xiao Youqi's deep silver-grey eyes. "That's such a shame! I really enjoy doing business with you. I really hope we can continue this business forever."

He was speaking the truth.

He likes this hotel very much.

If possible, he would also like to stay by relying on business.

"Wait a minute. I have to see how the situation develops." Gu Huaiwei heard the disappointment in his voice and comforted him. "After the post station is built, if business can continue, I will contact you."

"Don't you want to leave here and see the outside world?" Xiao Youqi extended an olive branch, "Since I came here to stay, I haven't seen you leave this hotel.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, would you like to go out with me? I'll take you to see the downtown area, it's guaranteed to be interesting."

Gu Huaiwei shook her head and refused: "I'm a working man, I don't have time to hang out on vacation."

"What a shame." Xiao Youqi withdrew his hand, speaking with melancholy, "After I check out, it will be difficult for me to get a hotel room again."

"You can become a member..." Gu Huaiwei always spared no effort to promote.

"No, I'm not one of those rich guys from Midtown." Xiao Youqi stopped thinking about it. He snapped his fingers and a copper rabbit appeared from his palm like a magic trick. "Here, I give it to you as a parting gift."

The copper rabbit was the size of a palm, squatting in Xiao Youqi's palm, with its tail slightly raised, its body round and shining with a metallic luster.

"It's very cute, you can keep it for yourself." Gu Huaiwei didn't want to accept it. She and Xiao Youqi had always been doing business and had no personal relationship.

"Take it. The next time we meet, it might be somewhere you least expect." Xiao Youqi stuffed the copper rabbit into Gu Huaiwei's pocket. "After all, I'm the first customer to open your store. I have to be a little different from the others."

"Thank you." Gu Huaiwei no longer refused and accepted the gift generously.

She stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the rabbit's ears. They felt cool and smooth, perfect for decoration at the front desk.

This little rabbit gift reminded Gu Huaiwei of when she was little and her sister liked to buy a bunch of cute ornaments to make her happy.

Gu Huaiwei unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth with a faint smile: "I still have two men's clothes. They are not bought specifically for you, but if you need them, you can use them."

From the time Xiao Youqi arrived at the Oasis Hotel until he checked out today, he wore the same clothes every day, which were now so worn out that they couldn't be any more.

Gu Huaiwei didn't like to owe favors to others. She still had a few pieces of Lin Snake left over, so she gave them to Xiao Youqi as a way of repaying a favor.

"Clothes?" Xiao Youqi seemed surprised by Gu Huaiwei's return of the courtesy. Only then did he realize that his clothes were already in tatters.

It seems that since he was born, no one has ever cared whether his clothes are torn or whether he has enough food to eat?

Xiao Youqi raised his eyes and looked at Gu Huaiwei, a complex emotion surging like an undercurrent.

What a pity, what a pity, he didn't want to go this far.
