In the car, Si Mingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Xueyi, I want to ask, you said before that people in our family can awaken superpowers when they turn eighteen. Is this also the case for other people who awaken superpowers?"
"Those with inherited family traits like yours are rare. Most people awaken by chance."
"Then how did you find these people with special abilities? Of course, if it's confidential, just pretend I didn't ask." Si Mingyu was also very curious.
"There's nothing to keep secret about this. You'll have the opportunity to recruit new people in the future." Jiang Xueyi explained as she drove, "Superpowers are called superpowers because science has been unable to explain them, at least for the most part. Therefore, there's no effective way to detect them."
"These people with special abilities cannot be detected with current technology unless they use their own abilities. This is why the company wants to recruit you. After all, there are some places with strict security where ordinary weapons cannot be brought in, but a powerful person with special abilities cannot be detected."
"Sister Xueyi, is it okay for you to tell me such a confidential matter?" The latter part of the sentence was obviously not something a normal person could do.
"It's okay. These are public matters in the circle, but outsiders don't know about them. I believe you won't talk nonsense. Besides, some senior executives in the company have some connections with your family, otherwise I wouldn't come here today." Jiang Xueyi said indifferently.
"I think I understand now." Since the family inheritance has the chance of awakening superpowers, and it is recorded in the relevant departments, it is normal for the other party to come to the door. Si Mingyu has completely resolved his doubts.
"For those who accidentally awaken superpowers, if they use their abilities, someone will always find out. The relevant departments will eventually contact the company and we will be responsible." Jiang Xueyi continued.
"Since someone witnessed it, why hasn't the relevant news spread?" Si Mingyu asked the crux of the matter.
"The initial effects of awakening superpowers aren't strong, and they don't cause much of an impact, so many people don't take it seriously. Even if these superpowered people perform on the street, people who see them will either think they're scammers or magic tricks. Even if they film it and post it online, how many people will take it seriously? There are so many people on TikTok, WeChat, and other platforms who are experiencing tribulations, cultivating immortals, and transforming. Of course, if someone really did this, we would immediately block the news."
"So that's how it is." Si Mingyu thought thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Jiang Xueyi dialed a number.
"Hello, Minister Jiang, this is the office. What can I do for you?" A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm looking for a hotel near the Minhang campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I'll book it for a year, based on the Class E treatment."
"Okay, I'll get back to you later."
About twenty minutes later, a call came from the office: "Minister Jiang, after comprehensive selection, we have chosen the Courtyard by Marriott Zizhu for you. It is approximately 2.3 kilometers from the Minhang campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, about a 35-minute walk."
"Okay, that's settled then."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xueyi said to Si Mingyu, "Get the navigation, we're going to the Zizhu Courtyard by Marriott."
"Okay." Although Si Mingyu was confused, he did not ask any more questions and opened the navigation.
"The hotel is booked for you. Superpowers require diligent practice, and you can't practice in the dormitory, right?" Jiang Xueyi said.
"I can just practice secretly when no one is around. There's no need to be so extravagant, right? Besides, is it okay not to live in the dormitory?" Si Mingyu was shocked. This is really treating money as if it is not money. It costs so much to subscribe for a year.
"It's not safe to practice secretly. It would be troublesome if we were caught. Don't worry about the school. I'll take care of it."
"Then I can rent a house nearby." As an ordinary person, Si Mingyu still couldn't accept such a costly thing.
"The company pays, so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, the hotel has good confidentiality. We are all guests, so no one will care about others."
"Okay, then I'll listen to Sister Xueyi." Since I don't have to pay for it myself, it would seem pretentious to refuse further.
This four-star hotel is located in Zizhu High-tech Zone, with a commercial area nearby. It is less than two kilometers away from the subway station and is considered a relatively good hotel near Jiaotong University.
Si Mingyu followed Jiang Xueyi into the hotel lobby.
"Hello, welcome." The lady at the front desk greeted warmly.
"Hello, I'm from Shenzhou Group, checking in." Jiang Xueyi said.
"Please wait, I'll process it for you right away." The lady at the front desk called the manager on duty while preparing the procedures.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Zhou Youlin, the hotel's duty manager. Welcome to the Zizhu Courtyard by Marriott. As per your request, you need to call them to confirm after your arrival." The manager said very politely.
Jiang Xueyi made a gesture to indicate that she was welcome to go ahead.
Zhou Youlin dialed the number: "Hello, I'm the manager of the Shanghai Zizhu Courtyard by Marriott. Your representative has arrived. Oh, okay, I'll put her on the line."
As he spoke, Zhou Youlin handed over the phone.
"We're here. Okay, got it." Jiang Xueyi said and handed the phone back.
"Okay, I understand, I understand." Zhou Youlin said politely. "Please come over here to handle the formalities."
Zhou Youlin personally completed the check-in procedures for Si Mingyu, and then took the two to the room.
"This woman is not very old, and the man should still be a student. Why is the manager so enthusiastic?" asked a receptionist who had just taken over.
"You may not have known this before, but Shenzhou Group has booked an executive suite in our hotel." The young lady who first received us whispered.
"The manager won't lead the way himself, will he?"
"It's a one-year subscription."
"Our executive suite is 1,500 per night, and we've booked it for a year?"
“It won’t be that expensive in the long run, but it’s still close to 400,000 yuan a year.”
"That's too much. Why would you subscribe for a year?"
"You said you were a student, so you probably can't get used to the dormitory. Rich people think differently from us." The receptionist said as she entered Si Mingyu's phone number and sent a WeChat friend request. Let's see if it works.
After a brief introduction, Zhou Youlin concluded, "The Zizhu Courtyard by Marriott is affiliated with the Marriott Group. Mr. Si Mingyu will automatically receive Marriott Group Lifetime Gold Card membership. When checking in at any Marriott hotel, simply provide your mobile phone number to enjoy the corresponding services."
"Thank you for your help, Manager Zhou." Jiang Xueyi nodded to express her gratitude.
"Then I won't bother you two anymore." Zhou Youlin said goodbye politely.
"Okay, it's time to go. I've finished what I was responsible for, and someone will call you about training matters in the future. The group will deposit 20,000 yuan into the hotel account every month, which is your expenses during your stay. If you can't use it all that month, it can be accumulated. Don't think it's too little, the company has regulations that the treatment for Level E is like this." Jiang Xueyi reminded.
"Thank you, Sister Xueyi. I'll take you there." Si Mingyu was truly grateful. After all, the other person had been running around for a long time for his own business.
After watching Jiang Xueyi's car go away, Si Mingyu did not return to the hotel but walked back to school. After all, the school had not yet agreed to let him live off campus.
