Wu Lei waited for a bit, and seeing that no one else intended to get on the bus, he got into the first tour car himself. Clearly, the second tour car he had specially brought over had no use.
As Su Yajing reluctantly said goodbye to Zhou Wang, Su Man, who had been watching for a while, finally couldn’t resist any longer. She went up and asked, "Guide Wu, can I ask what kind of room you arranged for Zhou Wang?"
Wu Lei seemed a bit puzzled but still smiled and said, "That depends on Mr. Zhou’s needs, but if it’s just for two people, it should be a courtyard suite."
"How much is it per night?"
Su Man asked immediately.
Wu Lei was taken aback again, but seeing Zhou Wang without any indication, he still answered truthfully, "The discounted price is about 2000 yuan."
Su Man was stunned for a moment, her lips moved slightly, but she said nothing further.
Not until the tour car carrying Zhou Wang and Miao Ying had gone far did Shen Yutong, who had probably overheard the conversation between Su Man and Wu Lei, curiously ask, "Aunt, what’s up with that price? Is it very high?"
"No, it’s not..."
At this time, Su Man seemed to come back to her senses. She shook her head, her expression a bit complex. "The courtyard suite is the best room in Li City’s InterContinental Hotel. The regular price is usually above 3000, and in July and August, it often rises to 4000 and is hard to book..."
"Ah, so how could Zhou Wang stay at that price?"
Faced with Shen Yutong’s puzzlement, Su Man also seemed to have no answer.
But she knew that her worry about whether Zhou Wang was being ripped off... was obviously unnecessary.
From Guan Yue Inn to the InterContinental Hotel was not far, since both were within the ancient city. However, many small alleys were inaccessible to the tour car, which could only move along the few wide main streets.
Since it was not very late yet, there were also many tourists on the street, so the tour car did not drive fast.
Zhou Wang was not in a hurry, chatting and laughing with Wu Lei on the way while admiring the nightscape of the ancient city.
Mainly because, amidst this already beautiful scenery, there occasionally appeared some dazzling figures, either young women taking photos or influencers live-streaming, which made the mood even better.
After ten minutes or so, the tour car slowly drove into the InterContinental Resort Hotel in Li City.
Last time Zhou Wang stayed, he was in a small hostel costing a hundred or so per night, and throughout his life, this was only his second time staying in a five-star hotel and still a special one within a tourist area, so he paid some attention to observe.
Located at the entrance of the ancient city, the luxury hotel’s site area was indeed huge, presenting a style completely different from the Wanda Reign Hotel built in a modern city.
(The InterContinental Hotel entrance)
The entire hotel’s environment was crafted into a retro garden style, embedded with typical Naxi-style houses, exuding a kind of flat luxury.
Judging by the land area alone, this hotel was at least dozens of times bigger than Su Man’s inn...
The hotel even built two small artificial lakes.
From the hotel entrance, one could also faintly see the summit of Yulong Snow Mountain, but now it was night, and everything was pitch black. At least, when Zhou Wang looked up, he saw nothing.
"Mr. Zhou, would you like to stay in the courtyard suite? The discounted room rate is 1999 per night..." Wu Lei asked after entering the hotel lobby.
"No problem, I’ll go with your arrangement."
Even though it was a price that he couldn’t afford before, Zhou Wang could only express...
"Only 2000 a night? That’s practically free!"
However, the high-end hotel prices in Li City were generally not too expensive. Zhou Wang had previously checked, and the most expensive suite at the "Aman Dayan Hotel" was only 6000 yuan.
Wu Lei had talked about this with Zhou Wang on the way, mentioning that, at least in Li City, the InterContinental did not have a regular presidential suite like a typical five-star hotel.
This might involve a space utilization issue. In the common architectural layout of the ancient city, it was difficult to create a room larger than 200 square meters, let alone a presidential suite of three to four hundred square meters.
In fact, these houses at the InterContinental were redesigned to preserve the local features to the greatest extent.
Zhou Wang didn’t have to worry about checking in or anything. Wu Lei directly led the reception to the resting area and efficiently completed the formalities.
Then, Wu Lei, along with a server, personally took Zhou Wang and Miao Ying to the courtyard with a 212 sign.
The courtyard had a separate fence, and the yard was spacious yet private, making the environment very nice. Although including the house, the entire courtyard only occupied slightly more than a hundred square meters...
Seeing Zhou Wang nodding his head, Wu Lei said a polite "not to disturb" and then, together with the server, withdrew and closed the courtyard gate.
Miao Ying was carrying a shoulder bag. While Zhou Wang was wandering around the courtyard, she went inside first to put down her luggage. At this moment, Zhou Wang’s phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar call again, but still a local number in Li City, with the last eight digits being "88788788."
Seeing this ridiculously impressive number, Zhou Wang paused for a moment, unable to resist thinking...
"Should I also get myself a ’fancy phone number’ that people would actually pick up when they see it?"
Currently, his phone number was not only chaotic and irregular but also contained two "4s" that were generally unpopular. Just looking at the number, Zhou Wang seemed like a "nobody!"
