NOVEL NEXT Chapter 123: Go Big!
The next day...
Sunlight streamed through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's presidential suite, spilling onto the pure white bed sheets...
As time passed, the gentle rays slowly climbed onto Gu Heng's face, the bright light causing his eyelids to tremble lightly, and after a slight flutter of his eyelashes, he opened his eyes... Continue your journey on empire
He had slept very comfortably...
Not to say that Gu Heng wasn't picky about beds, but even for those who were, sleeping on a mattress worth hundreds of thousands might ensure a quick and heavy sleep...
He checked his phone, and it was already ten in the morning...
Although he wore a watch worth over a million, Gu Heng had hardly ever used it to check the time...
More often, the watch served merely as a decoration...
Or perhaps just a simple tool for showing off...
He habitually opened WeChat, checked his Moments and unread messages, then got up from the bed.
He pushed open the room door...
Xu Ying and Zheng Jiayi, who had been waiting in the living room for who knows how long, quickly got up from the sofa.
"Mr. Gu, good morning."
"Boss, good morning."
Different greetings came out from the two simultaneously...
Gu Heng didn't have a habit of wearing pajamas to sleep; he always slept however he was comfortable, and because he was in a hotel, he had at least worn a pair of underwear. If he were at home, he might not even wear that...
But even so...
Facing two people of the opposite sex while wearing just a pair of underwear, Gu Heng still felt very awkward...
Just as Gu Heng was about to turn back to put on a jacket, Zheng Jiayi's voice rang out again, "Mr. Gu, are you going to wash up? I've already prepared your toiletries in advance, and even squeezed the toothpaste for you, it's right beside the sink."
Gu Heng was slightly startled by Zheng Jiayi's voice...
So considerate...
Apart from his mom, Xu Hong, who had done that for him when he was little, he really hadn't experienced such service before, not even in the presidential suites he had stayed in several times...
But yesterday afternoon, he had indeed witnessed the service quality of the Ritz-Carlton...
It was just a moment of surprise, and then he got used to it.
But Zheng Jiayi clearly misunderstood Gu Heng's reaction and explained again, "Is Mr. Gu worried about the toothpaste oxidizing?"
Gu Heng: "??"
Toothpaste oxidizing what now?
"Don't worry, toothpaste only starts to oxidize on the surface if exposed to air for over 15 minutes. I would generally change the toiletries every 15 minutes, and the ones in the bathroom now were prepared just a few minutes ago. You can use them with confidence."
Luxury...
Having experienced countless instances of excessive service, Gu Heng thought he was nearly used to it, but upon hearing Zheng Jiayi, he still felt a bit speechless...
"When did you come over?"
"8 o'clock."
After checking the time again, Gu Heng looked up at Zheng Jiayi's face and said, "So you've been here since eight and changed about ten sets of toiletries?"
"That would be nine sets."
"And the ones you changed out?"
"Disposed of."
Gu Heng really wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat...
He could only helplessly give her a thumbs up, turned around, put on a jacket, and walked towards the bathroom...
Zheng Jiayi thought Gu Heng was praising her service and smiled, "It's our honor to serve Mr. Gu."
In the bathroom, Gu Heng looked at the towels that had been folded and sterilized in front of him and the toothbrush placed beside the sink, and hearing Zheng Jiayi's voice nearby, he shook his head again...
Damn...
This is what a presidential suite is like...
Literally treating me like a president...
....
....
After coming out from the bathroom, Zheng Jiayi walked over carrying a set of clothes.
"These are the clothes and accessories you purchased yesterday at various luxury brands. Except for those custom-made ones that are still being rushed, the existing styles have all been delivered today.
These trousers are from Versace, the coat is from Chanel, and the shoes are by LV.
It's a combination that I discussed with the sales associates from the various brands yesterday. Please try them on, and if you're not satisfied, we can switch to a different combination."
"Okay, put it inside the room for me."
Gu Heng nodded in agreement.
Although Xu Ying and Zheng Jiayi didn't mind his odd attire with underwear and a jacket, having new clothes to change into, Gu Heng couldn't possibly continue being so exposed...
He wasn't an exhibitionist...
Entering the room, Gu Heng put on the whole set of luxury mishmash...
The result of consultations between seven or eight sales associates couldn't be too bad...
Though Gu Heng wasn't knowledgeable, he still had some basic aesthetic sense. Looking at himself in the full-length mirror, he nodded in satisfaction...
A couple of million weren't spent in vain...
In the next month, even if he changed his outfit daily, he'd have enough to wear...
In terms of outfit choices, he had officially moved beyond being fashion-ignorant...
After dawdling in the room for about ten minutes, Gu Heng finally opened the door and stepped out...
Standing at the door, chatting quietly, Xu Ying and Zheng Jiayi brightened up when they saw Gu Heng...
Better acquainted with Gu Heng, Xu Ying, who spoke more freely, smiled and said, "Boss, you look really handsome today!"
Everyone likes compliments, and Gu Heng was no exception. Hearing Xu Ying's praise, he smiled, "Wasn't I handsome yesterday?"
"A bit more handsome today!"
"Hahahaha."
As for Zheng Jiayi...
Though she had loosened up a bit while eating at a street stall last night, upon returning to the workplace, she resumed her professional demeanor, smoothing out the wrinkles on Gu Heng's clothes and respectfully saying, "Mr. Gu, breakfast has been served."
