"Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised, the plane is about to take off!"
As the cabin crew began the takeoff announcement, Luofeng’s chat with the uncle also came to an end. Luofeng actually felt a sense of relief.
After all, an uncle like this loves to show off, which is bearable. But the key is his lack of experience. Is forcing himself to show off really that fun? Isn’t it just too awkward?
The plane quickly taxied for a while and then soared into the sky.
However, the uncle started his grandiose talk again, and even deliberately raised his voice so that the young woman in sunglasses next to him could hear.
"Young man, if your travel budget isn’t that abundant, you can actually choose some boutique chain hotels like Home Inns. Our company has a partnership with Home Inns. When the time comes, I’ll arrange an internal agreement price for you, guaranteeing you a comfortable stay."
When Luofeng heard this, he felt like laughing.
Home Inns? Can it be considered a boutique chain hotel? Even they wouldn’t dare claim that, right? A quick search on Baidu would show it’s clearly an economy chain hotel. Of course, their market position is economy. But if you want to stay somewhere expensive, they have options for that too.
While Luofeng silently made complaints, the young woman in sunglasses beside him spoke up, "Uncle, I’m begging you, please stop talking. I’m about to get a cramp from laughing so hard..."
At that moment, the middle-aged uncle’s face was a mask of confusion, like a little boy.
Did I tell a joke? Why is it so funny? Or did Luofeng say something that made her laugh so much?
Seeing the uncle’s bewildered expression, the young woman in sunglasses continued, "Keely Hotel is a well-known luxury hotel in Capital City. It’s not some unknown little hotel. Of course, I understand if you’re not familiar with it. After all, you even called Home Inns a boutique chain hotel..."
Home Inns might be large and well-known, but its actual positioning is as an economy hotel! If their management knew you described their hotel that way, they’d be worried. What if people thought it was too expensive and didn’t dare to book, so no one stayed there in the future?
"Also, just to let you know, the starting price at Keely Hotel is around three to four thousand per night, and the slightly better room types are even more expensive."
The young woman in sunglasses added, "And this young man said he has booked the pick-up service, so it’s unlikely to be an ordinary room..." As she finished, she glanced at Luofeng.
Luofeng, however, just smiled. "I suddenly think Home Inns isn’t so bad after all, especially since Uncle has that internal agreement price..."
"HAHAHA!" The young woman in sunglasses burst into laughter.
At this moment, the uncle’s expression flickered unpredictably. So, I’ve been made a fool from the very beginning... And I’m that fool?
The greasy uncle took a deep breath and said through clenched teeth, "Young man, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far?"
"How have I gone too far?" Luofeng asked in confusion.
Before the other could reply, Luofeng continued, "Uncle, I understand you want to show off. Men are often like that in front of a beautiful woman; it’s normal. However, I already told you I’m staying at Keely Hotel, and you just kept blabbering on. If you don’t even know about this hotel, who can you blame for being made a fool of?"
"Err..." The uncle fell silent, looking as though he had completely withdrawn into himself.
After Luofeng finished speaking, the young woman in sunglasses passed her phone to Luofeng, with a message typed in the notes app.
Luofeng knew that someone with her manners wouldn’t say such things directly to the uncle, so this was her only option.
