How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

It’s obvious that he’s not very satisfied with the hotel facilities...

But as a mere hotel butler, that wasn’t something I could decide. I had to take a roundabout approach, aiming to win over Gu Heng with our service...

With that thought, Xu Ying hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, I’ve already introduced the basic facilities of our hotel. Is there anything you’d like to arrange for your itinerary?"

During your stay, our hotel has prepared a dedicated car for you, to make your travel convenient.

In addition, if you wish to dine at any restaurant in Shanghai, even without a reservation, we can arrange it swiftly for you. If you prefer not to go out, our hotel chefs can quickly prepare Western or Chinese cuisine from any region for you personally.

This is an exclusive level of service that is hard to find at other hotels."

It wasn’t until he heard this that Gu Heng’s eyelids twitched slightly...

"Your hotel also offers this service?"

Seeing that Gu Heng was interested, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and regained her confident demeanor.

"Of course!

Although our 230 Sky Hotel is the most inconspicuous among the many hotels under the Oriental Pearl Group, it is nonetheless valued!

Since it represents the face of our group, as long as you need something, I can immediately contact our external affairs department and fulfill your requests as fast as possible."

Gu Heng nodded slightly when he heard this.

If this level of service could be reached...

I might not need to switch hotels after all...

This kind of service alone could make up for all the shortcomings.

Otherwise, if I planned to stay in Shanghai for a longer period, and wanted to enjoy fine food, good drinks, and fun experiences without the hassle of reservations and waiting, what would be the fun in that?

What? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ordinary shops don’t require reservations?

Are you kidding me?

With a not so small sum of a hundred million in my bank card, would I go spend at ordinary shops?

Gu Heng wasn’t someone who would forget his roots just because he had money; his attitude was completely normal.

Now that I’m so wealthy, why would I go through the trouble of squeezing in at a roadside stall with everyone else? Was it just to show that I’m both down-to-earth and refined, sharing joys with the common folk?

Roadside stalls and small restaurants are fine to eat at, but that’s a choice based on mood.

In the current state of wealth, these places certainly wouldn’t be my first choice. Enjoying life is about pleasing oneself, so who am I being low-key for?

Besides, I’ve eaten at roadside stalls for so many years; I’m well and truly fed up with it...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng directly instructed Xu Ying, "Are there any decent restaurants open at this time? Arrange one for me."

"Certainly, Mr. Gu, I will arrange it for you right away!"

...

...

A few minutes later, having confirmed the restaurant details, Xu Ying came back to Gu Heng, who was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window admiring the view.

"Mr. Gu, I have confirmed the information of four restaurants for you.

They are Baoli Xuan, Rongfu Banquet, Jean Georges, and Utsusemi Kaiseki Cuisine. These four restaurants cover Jiangzhe Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Western food, and Japanese cuisine, and all four are Michelin-starred restaurants."

Gu Heng pondered upon hearing the names of these restaurants...

The Japanese cuisine was immediately passed over...

Luxury Japanese restaurants usually import ingredients from their place of origin by air.

Had it been in the past, this would have indeed been something to brag about.

But now it’s 2024, and I’d have to be out of my mind to go eat seafood contaminated with nuclear wastewater...

Then, eliminating Western cuisine and the uninteresting Jiangzhe cuisine, it seemed the only choice I had left was Cantonese Cuisine...

"Which one is the Cantonese Cuisine you mentioned?"

"Baoli Xuan Chinese Restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine."

"Alright, let’s go with that one."

Hearing Gu Heng had made his choice, Xu Ying hurriedly continued, "The average cost per person at this restaurant is about 1200 yuan, and it’s located at the former site of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, approximately 6 kilometers from us. Assuming no unexpected delays, we should be able to get there within 15 minutes."

Gu Heng listened to her detailed introduction and nodded in satisfaction...

The idea of getting a personal butler for myself became even more appealing...

With a butler as professional as Xu Ying, I can only imagine how easy regular travel would become!

I’d practically be reduced to a pampered good-for-nothing, with everything handed to me on a silver platter...

"OK, then that’s settled."

"Just a moment, I will arrange your transportation right away."

After speaking, she picked up her phone and walked to the other side to make a call...

As for Gu Heng, he was already familiar with taking a few photos with his phone of the hotel’s amenities and the Lujiazui scenery outside his window, filling up a nine-grid post, and added the caption, "What’s it like living inside the Oriental Pearl Tower?" and shared it on his Moments...

The moment he posted, an familiar avatar appeared among the list of likes...

Gu Heng’s heart skipped a beat as he saw Lin Ran’s avatar...

Shoot!

I seem to have forgotten to block her...

We had barely any contact recently, and the distance had created a sense of beauty...

And now, my simple act of showing off broke that...

Gu Heng had no choice but to open the chat with her and make a call...

"Mr. Gu seems to be living the good life, even making it all the way to Shanghai."

The phone connected quickly, and Lin Ran’s sarcastic tone reached Gu Heng’s ears...

Gu Heng could only offer a bashful smile and say, "Just arrived, just arrived. I’ve just gotten to the hotel, planning to go out for a meal. Are you free right now, Mr. Lin? Would you honor me with your company for dinner?"

When in Rome...

I don’t really have much aversion towards her...

The main reason is that I just can’t treat her the same way I would Lin Jiayun or Fang Xun...
