He Zhou glanced at He Jing: "So you were just saying you wanted to pay for it yourself, right?"
He Jing covered her face: "..."
OMG, we've been seen through!
"Spend your money wisely, or I won't have any left to give you when you've spent it all."
He Zhou said lazily, and pressed the elevator button to go up.
He Jing stood next to him, hunched her shoulders, and whispered, "Um... actually, I can earn it myself."
He Zhou sneered sarcastically, "Then you really are capable."
Fortunately, the competition organizers were not stingy. The hotel they chose was not only high-end, but the rooms they provided for the contestants were also huge. The room He Zhou entered by swiping his room card was not only a deluxe king room, but it also had a living room.
Perhaps to take into account the diverse needs of the guests, there is a gray sofa bed in the living room, which is exceptionally soft to sit on, and there is also an extra quilt in the cabinet.
He Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She wasn't mentally prepared to sleep with He Zhou yet, but thankfully the hotel thoughtfully solved her problem.
That way, she can sleep in the living room, and He Zhou can sleep in the bedroom, since he has a competition.
He Zhou put down his luggage and knew what He Jing was thinking without even turning around. He went into the room and saw the landline on the bedside table. He immediately called the front desk and said, "Someone, move the sofa out of room 3027."
Having probably never heard such a bizarre reason before, the receptionist was genuinely stunned for a moment before cautiously confirming, "You mean moving the sofa out of room 3027, right?"
“Yes, that’s right.” He Zhou’s tone was absolutely certain. “Bring over a bigger table.”
The receptionist hesitated for a moment: "May I ask what you would like to do, sir?"
"Never mind."
"Please wait a moment while I consult with my manager."
...
Five minutes later, the front desk answered the phone again: "Sir, please wait a moment, our housekeeping staff will be up shortly."
This culinary competition is a major event in the province, attracting widespread attention and attracting investment from several large enterprises to boost GDP. As a result, the hotel was temporarily requisitioned by the government. Hearing such an absurd request, the lobby manager wasn't surprised. He gave a few instructions to the front desk, and from then on, similar requests were to be complied with.
Only He Jing was in a bind. After seeing the beautiful sofa bed being dragged away by the hotel staff, she looked at He Zhou in shock: "Third Brother, what's going on?"
"To save money." He Zhou didn't even lift his eyelids. "Since we can't rent a restaurant's kitchen outside, we'll do it here."
Upon hearing this, He Jing immediately calmed down, pointed to the flashing smoke alarm above, and reminded him, "We can't fire here."
We'll figure something out when the time comes.
"..."
That works too.
He Zhou added, "Old Taro's room is definitely big enough to cook."
Rooms with kitchens are few and expensive, and the organizers can't afford to let all of them stay in such rooms in order to save money. However, to avoid the players having a bad experience, at least one person from each team must have a room with a kitchen.
The wealthy contestants certainly wouldn't care about these things; they could simply leave the hotel and find their own place to showcase their skills. But there were also poor chefs like He Zhou who were extremely stingy in terms of food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation.
Seeing that he had thought of everything, He Jing immediately stopped talking. So what if she was sleeping in the same room as her brother? She would just sleep there.
Suddenly, He Zhou asked with a cold smile, "Last time you went skiing with that kid surnamed Yan, this was where you stayed, wasn't it?"
He Jing's cheeks flushed bright red, and her beautiful eyes widened: "Absolutely not!"
