Everyone was utterly impressed by Qin Yi.
Feeling at ho? Only a fool would return for a second ti!
Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu exchanged glances, actually starting to worry for those coming to challenge Qin Yi.
These people might leave without even clothes on their backs.
Qin Yi was pleased with himself, truly feeling he was a genius.
"Alright! From now on, let’s all work together to make big money and achieve a comfortable life."
...
In the following days, everyone was busily preparing.
"Qin Yi, help take a look at the clothes I custom-made. This is a sample."
Lin Hongzhuang called out as she walked in from outside.
Since it was Saturday, both Xia Yanbing and Qin Wan’er were there.
Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few tis, "Look at your uncle, can I even see with these eyes?"
Lin Hongzhuang was holding a gold-colored, diagonal-buttoned, Ancient Martial Style outfit.
Xia Yanbing’s mouth twitched slightly.
"Honey, do you think this gold-colored outfit suits those Qi Refiners?" Xia Yanbing asked.
Qin Yi looked disdainful, "It’s such a gaudy color, how tacky can you get?"
Duan Yiyi ran over, "Oh my gosh...this outfit is simply unbearably tacky. I bet those Qi Refiners would rather go naked than wear this."
Lin Hongzhuang was puzzled, "Is it really that bad? Aren’t Qi Refiners all rich? This gold just suits them, doesn’t it?"
Qin Yi sighed, "Who told you all Qi Refiners are rich? Except for the Guardians from the city or those from the Sects, most Loose Cultivators are quite poor. Of course, as poor as they may be, they are still richer than ordinary people."
"So what color should I choose?" Lin Hongzhuang asked for advice.
Qin Yi thought for a mont, then said, "Sothing with a bit of flavor, like black base with white, or blue base with white, with plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum patterns on top. And don’t forget the female Qi Refiners, you could make it into Hanfu."
"Got it, thanks!" Lin Hongzhuang hurriedly left. Qin Yi said this business could earn tens of millions, how could she not be eager?
At that mont, Qin Yi’s phone rang; it was Duan Xinyuan calling.
"Qin Yi, so Qi Refiners have already entered Yinfeng City. They all ca looking for you. If news about you spreads around Yinfeng City, more people might co."
"Alright, got it! Everything will go according to the full plan."
Qin Yi hung up the call, his lips curling up, "Everyone get ready; the fat sheep have co to us."
...
Four young n arrived at the i Hua Hotel and walked to the front desk.
"Get us four nice rooms." The leader, a tall and handso young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, smiled at the beautiful front desk receptionist.
The young man was nad Xue Haoping. He had worked hard to find where Qin Yi was staying in Yinfeng City.
The receptionist maintained a professional smile, "Would you like standard rooms, luxury singles, or presidential suites?"
"Then the presidential suites," Xue Haoping said.
Judging by their attire, these four clearly had money to spare.
"Alright, it’s five million per room. How many nights are you staying?"
Xue Haoping and his companions looked bewildered and were stunned!
Xue Haoping laughed, "Miss, we want to stay, not buy."
"Yes, indeed! It’s five million for one night in a presidential suite." The receptionist’s smile remained unfazed.
On her computer screen, the photos and nas of these four people were marked with a ’√,’ sent over earlier. She had been trained these past few days on how to charge them.
All four were dumbstruck.
"Are you robbing us? Five million a night for a presidential suite? Are your rooms made of gold?" an angry young man said.
The receptionist bead, "Sir, these prices are set by the higher-ups. We’re just following the rules, please understand!"
You don’t hit a smiling face.
Xue Haoping and his companions had no retort.
"How much for a luxury single room?"
"One million a day!"
Xue Haoping and his companions were dumbfounded, isn’t this daylight robbery?
"What about a standard single room?"
"Also one million a day," the receptionist said with a smile.
The four were left speechless.
"Why is it so expensive here?" Xue Haoping asked.
The receptionist smiled, "Gentlen, these prices are set by the higher-ups. We’re just carrying out our duties per company policy."
"Damn, this is just ripping people off; let’s try another place," said a slightly shorter young man furiously.
The receptionist said with a smile, "Gentlen, right now the hotels across all of Yinfeng City have the sa prices, it’s the sa wherever you go."
"I don’t believe it. I refuse to believe every place is as greedy as yours! This hotel of yours will go bankrupt one day."
The four left with dark expressions.
But after inquiring at several other hotels, it turned out the prices were indeed the sa: five million a night for a presidential suite, one million for regular rooms, and no haggling.
"Let’s go ask the Duan Family what exactly is going on here? This is daylight robbery," soone suggested.
Xue Haoping frowned slightly, "Forget it, let’s find a hotel to stay in, then head out to challenge Qin Yi, and leave tomorrow. We can afford the four million."
"If we go to the Duan Family for four million, it makes us look petty."
The other three nodded slightly; they all hailed from Guardian Families and were not short on money. A million wasn’t much to them, but it was unpleasant to feel like they were being ripped off.
Ultimately, the four found a hotel and checked in.
They tidied up a bit, then t in the lobby.
Xue Haoping said, "Let’s eat sothing first, then go find Qin Yi."
The other three agreed.
The four went to a restaurant, ate and drank to their fill, and almost exploded with anger when they settled the bill.
"What did you say? Say that again?" a young man glared angrily at the waiter.
The waiter greeted them with a smile, "Ten thousand per person, forty thousand in total for four. Would you like to pay by card or make a transfer?"
Xue Haoping frowned, "We just ordered four dishes and a soup, plus a bowl of rice, and you’re charging forty thousand? Are your als made of gold or pearl powder? Do you think we’ll complain to the consur association?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Please don’t be angry, these are the regulations set by the higher-ups, we’re just following the rules."
"You’re just robbing tourists, it’s too much; I want to file a complaint against you."
The waiter continued to smile, "Gentlen, we have clearly marked prices! It’s really unjust to accuse our hotel like this. Look around you, no other guests have ever complained about our high costs."
Xue Haoping and his companions looked around, indeed the other guests seed to be enjoying their food without a care.
Little did they know, everyone else was paying normal prices! Only these four were targeted as fat sheep, and they were fleeced openly.
The four left the restaurant with dark faces after paying.
Even though forty thousand was sothing they could afford.
As they exited, Xue Haoping frowned, "Do you guys think there’s sothing off about this? It seems like all these prices are targeting us."
"Forget it, the money’s spent, and we’re not short on cash. Let this be a lesson learned. Let’s just go find Qin Yi first," one young man suggested.
At that mont, a nearby security guard walked up with a smile, "Are you gentlen looking for Mr. Qin?"
