I remained silent because of some feelings in my heart, but Yang Sisi misunderstood what I meant. She moved closer to me and asked, "Do you think my request is a bit excessive...? I know it's not easy to create an account with a few hundred positive reviews on Ctrip. If you feel it's difficult, then forget it... I won't force you."
I then replied, "I don't feel embarrassed. This account is useless to me anyway. If it can help him, then let him use it."
"Helpful, helpful..."
As Yang Sisi spoke, she took out paper and a pen from her bag and asked me to write down my account and password for her.
I took it from her without hesitation and wrote down the account I had painstakingly built on the paper. Then I said to her, "The peak tourist season in summer is coming soon. There will definitely be a lot of repeat customers on this account. Tell Cao Xiaobei to do a good job of providing service, because they are relatively high-end customers who care more about the accommodation experience than ordinary customers, especially in places that reflect details, such as the cleanliness of the corners. We must not be careless."
"Oh, how much would be a reasonable price per night for a room?"
"Normally it's four hundred yuan a day; during peak season, it can be eight hundred to a thousand. This is just a suggestion; he'll have to assess the customer flow himself before implementing it..."
"Hmm, hmm... could you help me predict whether his inn will be profitable in the future?"
"Ha... When I was working at Jiulongju, I had nothing; his current situation is much better than mine was back then... Unless he didn't put his heart into it, I really can't think of any reason why he wouldn't make money."
Yang Sisi snapped her fingers, and as she put the paper with the account number and password written on it into her bag, she smiled and said to me, "With you saying that, I feel relieved."
I smiled back at her and then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
Yang Sisi wouldn't let me leave, and said mysteriously, "You're just going to arrange a hotel for your parents... I have a really good suggestion... Why don't you arrange for them to stay at Cao Xiaobei's inn? It's already renovated, everything is brand new, and the environment is great... Most importantly, the inn shouldn't be too close to your studio, so they can experience the fruits of your labor this year."
I asked, "Are you thinking of him or me?"
Yang Si thought for a moment, then replied, "He gets a little more, you get a little less... I really hope he can have a great start. Wouldn't it be nice if your parents were his first guests?"
“No… His place doesn’t have a sea view, my parents only stay in rooms with sea views.”
"Rooms with ocean views are expensive! Tomorrow's the weekend, a room with an ocean view would cost at least 2000 yuan a night... But it's different with Cao Xiaobei, I can get him to give you a discount..."
"Money is no object."
Yang Sisi clicked her tongue at me and sighed, "I think you've gotten arrogant... But why do you want to become a nouveau riche?... Could it be that the decadent and corrupt ideas of the bourgeoisie have subtly influenced your mind?"
"Stop talking nonsense... Instead of wasting time, think about how you make a living. You're just drawing here every day, getting one job after another. Is that a proper job?!"
"I've discovered that you're a really, really boring person right now! ...I can turn my hobbies into a means of survival, can you?"
“I’m worried you’ll suffer too much here… You don’t know how strong the sun is here.”
"Of course I know, that's why you see a person's true character in times of trouble... Others would offer me an umbrella to protect me... But you, you just give me a lecture like a boss, saying a few bland and meaningless things, who's going to listen to you!"
As Yang Sisi was speaking, another tourist came over to inquire about the price of a painting. Taking advantage of the moment when she was talking to the tourist, I quietly left her stall...
...
After booking the hotel, I returned to the studio. After handling some work matters, Chen Jin took a break and asked me, "Have you made arrangements for Lu Jia's parents?"
"Um."
"Nothing happened?"
I asked impatiently, "What do you want to happen between us?"
"Look at you, why are you making yourself so resistant... We're just chatting for fun in our free time... I think his parents will definitely look at you in a new light when they meet you this time... Seriously, not to mention them, even I, who work with you every day, find it unbelievable... Tell me, what kind of discerning eye do you have to discover the business opportunities here at Jiulongju, and actually make real money from it!"
"Stop giving me that crap... When the business deal fell through, you were the one who most wanted to break up with us!"
Chen Jin laughed and said, "I was just trying to put some pressure on you. If I really wanted to break up, I wouldn't be the one sitting here with you sharing the spoils of victory right now."
I lit a cigarette and stared blankly at a lamppost outside the studio.
Chen Jin wasn't about to let me off the hook. He picked up where we left off and continued, "It's such a shame about you and Lu Jia! ... I saw everything between you two, even though others might not know how you got along... When you were going to work, didn't you ride your electric scooter for a while? ... Lu Jia would sit right behind you, worried you'd be cold, she'd even open her down jacket to wrap you up too... Think about it, with how materialistic girls are these days, who would treat you like that? ... She really cared about you! ... Now you drive a Mercedes, with such a big seat, is there really no room for Lu Jia anymore?"
