Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Spending Money Day 68 (Edited)…
After staying in the sanatorium hotel for four days, Liu Yue's biggest feeling was comfort.
Since binding the system, she has stayed in many hotels, but no matter how luxurious the decoration and design of other hotels are, their purpose is still to stay overnight.
Shuizhongtian is different. It is not located in the city, and it has no intention of asking guests to leave during the day because its courses and activities are too full.
There's breathing therapy at 7 a.m., yoga at 8 a.m., a health class with experts at 10 a.m., Pilates or boxing at 11 a.m., sound therapy, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, cooking classes in the afternoon, and a fitness session in the evening...
This schedule is even fuller than when Liu Yue was in school. Fortunately, these are optional programs and guests can choose whether to participate. Otherwise, Liu Yue would check out immediately when she saw the schedule.
The above is the stay experience for high-energy people, but this full arrangement is also friendly to lazy guests like Liu Yue, because when she wants to participate on a whim, she basically doesn't have to wait.
The scenery here is beautiful, and the pace of life is incredibly slow. Every guest who stays here, with the goal of a wellness getaway, has a peaceful, serene smile on their face.
Liu Yue deeply felt that this kind of hotel was perfect for her.
There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, far away from the fireworks of the world. There is only the exploration of the depths of the soul and the feeling of the tranquility of the unity of man and nature.
——Of course, this kind of leisure and comfort must be accumulated with money.
Including Liu Yue herself, there are five people and one cat in the team, so they need a suite and two single rooms, and they have to pay an additional pet cleaning fee.
If you add in the activities she participated in, the additional services she enjoyed, and the upgraded three meals a day customized for her... the cost of each night she stayed here was close to six figures.
There is no free peaceful life in the world. Only money can bring people peace and calmness.
Fortunately, the system had previously raised the upper limit of her small purse to one million, and Liu Yue also drew 100,000 three times in these four days.
She was still thinking of reasons and how to explain why she had to transfer 100,000 yuan into it every day, but later she found that no one asked her at all.
Liu Yue suddenly realized that all the team members were working for her, and she could do whatever she wanted without finding any excuses.
Even if they are really curious about this, they will never ask her, but will rationalize all her actions through their own imagination.
Yes, that's it.
Those in a higher position do not need to explain themselves, and proving yourself means acknowledging that others have the power to judge you.
During this period, Sang Yu also helped her make appointments with sales representatives from Song Jin and Wu Luo Studio.
Songjin was something she had wanted to buy before, and Wuluo was suggested by Sang Yu. This kind of fabric is relatively light and breathable, very suitable for summer.
Liu Yue sat in the rocking chair on the terrace, flipping through the album and feeling the samples and ready-made clothes they brought.
The touch of Song brocade is similar to that of Shu brocade, with only slight differences in weaving methods and patterns. Wu Luo feels much lighter and softer.
Liu Yue recalled a historical anecdote she had read before, which said that during the Tang Dynasty, an official went to court and others could still see the mole on his chest, but he was wearing five layers of clothes.
She asked the people at Wu Luo Studio: "Can modern clothes produce such an effect?"
There is also the famous Susha Zen robe, which is said to be as thin as a cicada's wing.
The people in the studio told her that these weaving techniques were not technically difficult, but the silkworms raised by the ancients were relatively thin and the quality of the silk they spun was not that good, so the silk gauze clothes in ancient times were much thinner than they are now.
Therefore, the reason why modern clothes are not as light as those in ancient times is not due to a mysterious technological gap, but rather the difference in raw materials.
So that's it! Liu Yue suddenly understood and felt like she had learned something new.
The studio also said that if she really wanted that kind of clothes, they could also try to control the silk from the source, but Liu Yue thought about it and decided not to.
She was just a little curious and just wanted to know what was going on. She couldn't go out wearing clothes that were too thin.
Seeing that Liu Yue was more interested in Wu Luo, Song Jin, who had originally regarded each other as competitors, became anxious.
They quickly took out the best-looking fabric samples, laid out the general outline of the clothes on the mannequin, and asked the model to change into several sets of Song brocade ready-made clothes, and circled in front of her, showing them in a 360-degree full range.
Hearing that Wu Luo could customize the raw materials, the Songjin sales said they could customize the patterns for her.
Whether it's artifacts drawn from archaeological discoveries or new designs filled with modern popular elements... as long as she likes it and can pay extra, anything can be discussed.
Once their competitive spirit is aroused, salespeople's initiative and dynamism are endless.
Liu Yue was very interested in the customized pattern. She brought Lucas over and asked if they could design a new sample for her based on it.
"no problem!"
"sure!"
Several salesmen agreed in unison. Seeing that others had agreed, they began to bargain frantically for price, service, and deadlines, trying their best to win this big customer.
Compared with Shu brocade, Song brocade is relatively cheaper, and Wu brocade is not expensive either.
Liu Yue had originally thought of placing a large order and using the money to pay the balance when she received a high commission. However, perhaps because she had bought too much Shu brocade before, she wasn't very interested in Song brocade's regular fabrics except for the patterns customized for her.
Wu Luo was quite curious about it, so she bought a little more. But this was just a contract worth a few hundred thousand yuan, and it didn't seem like she needed to wait for a large amount of money to be paid. She paid from her own savings, and she didn't feel anything at all.
Even if the clothes she wears now are second-hand, costing a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan each, it is really not expensive.
Liu Yue suddenly realized that the happiness that money brought her seemed to be limited...
Oh my god, is this the trouble of being too rich?
Liu Yue was only melancholy for a moment, but she didn't think much about it and decided to just let things take their course.
Thinking about where troubles come from will only create more and more troubles, so she won't cause trouble for herself.
While eating and drinking, Liu Yue also developed a new hobby, yoga.
Aerial yoga, to be exact.
In fact, she had never even practiced ground yoga. At best, it was just a whim. She opened a fitness app and did a few moves, and then nothing happened.
Liu Yue thought that when she went to class, she could only listen to theories, but she didn't expect that she could get the hang of it so quickly.
Aerial yoga requires a hanging cloth. The entry-level move for beginners is to step on the hanging cloth and stand steadily in the air.
The action wasn't difficult, it just required maintaining balance in the air. Liu Yue tried it several times, and at first it was wobbly and there was a risk of falling at any time, but once she stood on it, it was only a few dozen centimeters off the ground, so she wasn't afraid at all.
After shaking a few times, Liu Yue grasped the key to maintaining balance.
Not only was she able to stand on the drape, but she was also able to control her core and move backwards. The teacher demonstrated the standard version of this movement, with both feet still on the drape, but the body sitting back, with the upper body and legs forming a 90-degree angle.
Liu Yue, who had no basic training, acted with the courage of a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. When asked to sit back, she did so boldly. Seeing this, Sang Yu next to her was sweating, fearing that she would fall to the ground.
Even if there is a cushion underneath, it will still hurt.
After successfully completing this move, Liu Yue began to try aerial rotation.
She placed one leg inside the drape, grasping one side of it with both hands, then exerted force with her other leg, using her core strength to pivot in the air with the drape as support...
The above is the picture imagined by Liu Yue. In fact, she had just lifted up her other leg and had not yet found the feeling to exert force when she fell backwards and fell on the mat.
Sang Yu hurried over and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Liu Yue said happily: "I didn't expect it to be so fun!"
Sang Yu was afraid that she would be discouraged, so she comforted her: "You are a beginner, and these movements are quite difficult."
"Well, it's fun when it's difficult." Liu Yue said casually, "It would be boring if it was too easy."
Liu Yue continued to practice, and Sang Yu watched from the side, thinking about what she had just said.
In fact, she didn't expect Liu Yue to say that, but then she thought about it, Liu Yue also likes skiing and skydiving. Although she said that lying down every day is the most comfortable, if she is really asked to challenge some exciting projects, she can have a lot of fun.
Maybe she doesn't really like lying down that much, but few people pay attention to her needs, let alone satisfy her. Considering her previous life situation, she may not have the conditions to satisfy her own preferences...
Therefore, actively cutting off interest in the outside world, locking herself in a small space where she doesn't have to think about anything and emphasizes taking things as they come, may be Liu Yue's subconscious self-protection.
In the past, she had no expectations for the people around her or the world. As long as there was something good that exceeded her expectations, she would feel the greatest happiness.
Now that she is rich, everything she wants is within her reach. The happiness that lying down can bring her is becoming increasingly limited. Although Liu Yue's subjective initiative has not yet changed, her subconscious mind has already had higher aspirations.
Sang Yu lowered his eyes, thinking about what he should do next.
Liu Yue's interest in aerial yoga has lasted for a long time. Not only did she attend the class completely without leaving, she also planned to ask Sang Yu to hire a coach for her and continue teaching her when she returned to Shenzhen.
Speaking of this, Sang Yu and Liu Yue said that she planned to return to Shenzhen first.
Ren Zhen and Zhang Cheng are both her bodyguards, but because Liu Yue goes to safe places, they actually also do the work of secretaries and assistants.
Liu Yue didn't have much to do; just the two of them was enough. The renovation of the new house was about to begin, and Sang Yu had to go back to monitor the progress. He also had to take over Liu Yue's helicopter and yacht and arrange for a captain and crew.
If you think about it carefully, Sang Yu has a lot to do in Shenzhen.
Liu Yue let her go back. She felt quite sorry that she didn't take Sang Yu to Disneyland this time.
But the number of people around her did not decrease at all, and there were more and more of them, and it was getting more and more lively.
Initially, she invited them to Suzhou to play together during an online poker game with Zhong Yingying and Sheng Zhou.
Ren Zhen was already in talks about renting out the entire theater, and since everyone was going to Disneyland, why not come to Suzhou and experience this spa first? Its 12-step heat therapy circuit was truly amazing, perfect for a relaxing and wellness getaway after filming.
Zhong Yingying responded first, and Sheng Zhou fell silent.
Unfortunately, he failed to snatch Zhong Yingying away.
Either of them can come, but not together. If they were photographed together in the hotel after the filming was completed, they would have no way to explain it.
However, before Zhong Yingying could be proud for too long, Sheng Zhou came up with a new idea - since two people were not enough, just call a few more people.
He brought a bunch of friends with him, all of whom were netizens who had played UNO and Werewolf with Liu Yue, and they were all handsome men and beautiful women in the circle.
In fact, Sheng Zhou planned to organize a party on the day Liu Yue was performing as an extra, but Zhong Yingying and Cheng Tang attracted Liu Yue's attention too much, so he canceled the plan for everyone to play together.
But the situation is different now. If only Zhong Yingying can go, he would rather bring more people with him. In short, he can't let her gain favorability alone.
Zhong Yingying was so angry that she simply called Cheng Tang.
——Originally, Cheng Tang was not in their group. She and Sheng Zhou quietly formed a tacit understanding to exclude him and never called him when playing cards. But this time Sheng Zhou did not abide by the ethics of the game, and Zhong Yingying directly tore up the alliance. You can't expect to have an easy time if you are the main one.
Liu Yue had no idea that she just wanted to ask someone out for fun, but they were secretly acting out some intrigue behind her back.
But she was very happy to see this result. There were only handsome men and beautiful women among the young people, which was very friendly to her eyes.
Her villa is the largest in the hotel, with a huge terrace outside. A group of young people gathered together, and although they were in the most health-conscious hotel, they had a barbecue on the balcony.
They said they would do it themselves, but they couldn't even light the charcoal fire. After trying to prepare the ingredients for a few minutes, they started to slack off and play around. Fortunately, Ren Zhen had anticipated this and she invited a professional team.
Putting aside the taste of their baked goods, the food safety was not guaranteed. As a bodyguard, Ren Zhen would not allow Liu Yue to eat such food.
Liu Yue also started slacking off after the experience. She tried to cut the ham sausage, but the result was exactly the same as the chef's. She was too embarrassed to put it on the tray and just picked it up and ate it herself.
Knowing they were coming, Liu Yue prepared a lot of party toys in advance.
For example... hehe, the water gun that she is about to use to do something bad.
At this time, Sheng Zhou was closest to her, so it was decided to be him!
Liu Yue hid the water gun behind her back and walked in front of Sheng Zhou as if nothing had happened.
The next second, the gun was pointed at him and water was sprayed out quickly.
Sheng Zhou subconsciously reached out to block it, but Liu Yue moved closer and closer, her hands moving non-stop.
The water gun didn't produce much water, and Sheng Zhou quickly adapted to it and snatched the water gun from Liu Yue.
But this is not an ordinary water gun, it is a prank toy.
Only by pressing another switch of the water gun will it spray water from the muzzle. If the trigger is pressed, the water will come out from the back and splash onto the user's face.
When Sheng Zhou triumphantly pressed the trigger, the water really splashed onto his face.
Being sprayed once was not enough, Sheng Zhou pressed it several times in a row, not believing in evil, until the water flowed down his chin into his shirt and wet his chest. Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with this thing, and looked at Liu Yue in disbelief.
Liu Yue laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back. Even now, Sheng Zhou still hadn't found the mechanism behind it.
She couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she demonstrated it to him herself - of course, the gun was still pointed at him during the demonstration, and a large area of his clothes was wet again.
Because Shengzhou was soaked in too much water, the wet clothes stuck to his chest and abdominal muscles, outlining their distinct contours.
Liu Yue couldn't help but stretched out her hand and poked him: "Oh, you usually exercise well."
Sheng Zhou raised his eyebrows confidently and was about to say something, but then he remembered Liu Yue's previous comment that he was "most handsome when he didn't speak", and silently closed his mouth again.
Liu Yue had been prepared for him to be a bit narcissistic, but she didn't expect that he would actually hold back this time.
"How strange!" Liu Yue said, "Have you been poisoned and become mute?"
Shengzhou:......
Sheng Zhou snorted, "I'm trying to be handsome without even realizing it. Lately, I've been using light and oil-removing shampoo."
Wow, you work really hard.
Liu Yue: "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to get off Sheng Zhou from now on."
After hearing this, Sheng Zhou took out the water gun and sprayed her again.
But he seemed to have forgotten that this was a prank toy - water flowed out from behind again, wetting his face that had just been wiped dry.
Seeing him like this, Liu Yue laughed so hard that she fell on the sofa and couldn't get up.
Shengzhou finally learned how to use the water gun this time, but it was useless because there was no water in it.
He was furious and helpless, so Liu Yue told him to leave quickly and find someone else to play with with the water gun.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to see Sheng Zhou again, but he looks so funny now. She wants to laugh when she sees him, but if she keeps laughing like that, her stomach will really hurt.
Oh my God, why didn’t she realize before that Sheng Zhou also had the talent to be a comedian?
Seeing Liu Yue so happy, Cheng Tang, who was concentrating on picking vegetables in the kitchen, was speechless.
He was working honestly here, but Sheng Zhou was able to use his silly energy to tease Liu Yue into this state and increase his favorability.
Why does he have the right? Just because he is not smart, is God giving stupid people food?
He complained quietly to Zhong Yingying beside him, who rolled her eyes inwardly.
"You said Sheng Zhou was stupid?" She glanced at Cheng Tang and sneered, "You are the fool."
Cheng Tang reacted and was stunned for a moment.
No, buddy, your acting isn’t that good when you’re filming!
No wonder he thought Sheng Zhou's water gun was held at a strange angle...
When Liu Yue's face was wet, and when Sheng Zhou's shirt was wet, it was because of the water gun he used himself.
Men's schemes are so terrifying.
The barbecue wasn't ready so quickly, and someone else organized a game of Werewolf.
It just so happens that, not counting Liu Yue’s team members, there are nine people here in total, which can play the standard configuration of three wolves, three gods and three people.
Zhong Yingying sat next to Liu Yue. At this moment, everyone was discussing the punishment after failure.
The most classic one is Truth or Dare. Zhang Cheng made two boxes and put the paper balls they wrote down their inspirations into them.
If the good camp wins, three werewolves will be punished; if the werewolf camp wins, three people will be randomly selected from the good camp to be punished.
Liu Yue asked Zhong Yingying: "What punishment do you think is good?"
She wanted to have some fun, but she was meeting many of the people for the first time and wasn't sure what level they would accept.
"Write boldly," Zhong Yingying said, "Everyone here can afford it."
This is a fact - although Sheng Zhou wanted to gather the number of people, he also selected them carefully.
After all, if someone gets upset after losing during the game, it will really affect Liu Yue's mood, and it might even implicate him.
In that case... Liu Yue had an idea.
She called Zhang Cheng over, said a few words to him quietly, and then wrote a note.
The loser has to wear a particularly ugly wig and take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments.
This is a very common punishment in variety shows, and the latter part was added by Zhong Yingying. As for the wig, Zhang Cheng will arrange it and he will be able to get it quickly.
At the beginning of the game, Liu Yue drew the werewolf identity.
After she opened her eyes, she found that her wolf teammates were Sheng Zhou and Zhong Yingying.
Werewolves cannot speak at night, but can communicate using actions.
Zhong Yingying gestured for a long time, and Liu Yue roughly deciphered what she meant -
She stabbed herself to get the antidote from the witch, Sheng Zhou pretended to be a prophet and went to the police, and Liu Yue was responsible for voting in vain to hide her identity.
OK, very good arrangement. Liu Yue trusts her two teammates very much.
When she closed her eyes, she was still thinking that this game had hope.
But unfortunately, they met a witch with a heart of stone.
The witch failed to save anyone on the first night, and Zhong Yingying died.
During the voting for the sheriff, Sheng Zhou's role as the prophet was full of energy and health, his words were well-reasoned and his logic was clear.
To be honest, if Liu Yue hadn't recognized him last night, she would definitely believe that he was a good person.
She testified that Sheng Zhou's acting skills were indeed underestimated!
But the Wolf Team was really unlucky. In order to make others believe that he was a real prophet, Sheng Zhou boldly gave gold water to the player who was running for sheriff in the latter position, saying that he had been proven to be a good person.
As it turned out, this person was the real prophet. When he turned against them and became a police officer, Sheng Zhou had no choice but to implode.
Liu Yue: ...
She lost two teammates at the beginning. How can she continue to play this game?
It was dark, so she could only eliminate the prophet first and then slack off in the daytime speaking session.
But this won't work. If she keeps slacking off, she will also be thrown out, because if they can't find a werewolf, the good camp will first throw out the civilian who is easiest to impersonate, rather than the god who dares to change his identity.
But Liu Yue didn't dare to change her identity! If she changed her identity, the real witch would poison her at night.
If she jumps to the hunter, the real hunter will definitely come out and jump to the opposite side of her, which means that everyone will have to choose one of the two options when voting. Even if they vote wrong, the hunter can still shoot and take the werewolf away.
On the third night, Liu Yue thought about it and decided that she had to kill the witch with her knife.
The one who didn’t save Zhong Yingying on the first night...it’s possible that this is how the witch plays, not saving anyone who is stabbed, but it’s also possible that he is someone who is familiar with Zhong Yingying.
Most of the people at the scene were Sheng Zhou's friends, and Sheng Zhou was her wolf teammate...
Liu Yue stabbed Cheng Tang tonight and then closed her eyes.
At dawn, she won.
Last night she stabbed the witch with a knife, and at the same time the witch poisoned the hunter with a potion - although the werewolf camp had a bad start, this game has an excellent matching mechanism, and the good camp also has the smart Cheng Tang.
Liu Yue was very happy and jumped and danced with Zhong Yingying.
I thought this game was hopeless, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events and I turned the tide!
Cheng Tang, who poisoned the wrong person, took the initiative to claim a punishment spot. He did not draw the one written by Liu Yue, which was to wear a wig, but drew one written by someone else, which was to hold hands with a person of the opposite sex at the scene and look into each other's eyes for one minute.
The content drawn by other people who were selected to complete the adventure challenge was basically the same.
Liu Yue was choked for a moment. So this is the style of their dare games.
This made her wig seem out of place, and she was the only one in the audience who was seriously trying to play a prank.
Cheng Tang's eyes moved around, and finally asked Liu Yue if she was willing to cooperate with him to complete this.
Liu Yue refused: "I'm not the one being punished! I won!"
Cheng Tang: ...
Cheng Tang was speechless, and Sheng Zhou almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Try your romantic tricks with rich women, they won't fall for it.
