Chapter 54 Black Card Open House
The two of them went to college after returning to university. Zhou You thought about going to Disney in Xiahai City. There were many people there, and recently, a "roller coaster" was added to the popularity. It was a good occasion for treating He Jinxi's social fear. Zhou You told her about this, and He Jinxi had heard of Disney for a long time, but when she thought of the crowds of people, the girl couldn't help but be afraid.
"It's okay to have me here." Zhou You encouraged her.
He Jinxi nodded.
Zhou You pulled her into a taxi and rushed towards Disney. In the car, Zhou You talked to the girl about the interesting things about teaching in Danfu University. When a classmate came to ask for trouble and was taught a lesson well, He Jinxi couldn't help laughing.
The driver was looking at the couple from the rearview mirror, and he was so envious. He thought that it was better to be able to speak well. Look, the joke about Danfu University lectures is the same as it is.
As he was talking, Ye Ruoshui called him.
"Brother Zhou You, are you still giving a lecture in Danfu??"
"The lecture has been finished. I'm in the car now, what's wrong?" Zhou You asked when hesitated when he saw Ye Ruoshui's tone.
"I received a red peach three..." Ye Ruoshui thought about it and explained honestly.
Since learning behind the scenes from Ye Ruoshui, Zhou You has been asking Ye Ruoshui to pay attention to playing cards. Then this afternoon, Ye Ruoshui received a postcard to bless her birthday in advance. Ye Ruoshui didn't care yet, but later he found that there was a red peach three playing card pattern printed inside and then he remembered it.
Of course, this may be a coincidence, but Zhou You talked about this last time and Ye Ruoshui thought about it and told this brother first.
"Where are you now?"
"Waiting for me in People's Square, I'll come to find you."
"Is something wrong?" He Jinxi couldn't help asking when he saw Zhou You's abnormal seriousness.
"I can't go today if I have something to do, so I'll go and play some other day." Zhou You said embarrassedly.
He Jinxi nodded in understanding.
In order to avoid He Jinxi being pulled into the whirlpool behind the scenes, Zhou You sent the girl home to go to People's Square. Ye Ruoshui was in a cafe near the square. The girl was playing with the postcard in her hand, while vigilant about every move around her. When she saw Zhou You appear, Ye Ruoshui waved her hand happily.
"Show me that postcard." Zhou You said.
Ye Ruoshui handed the postcard to Zhou You, which looked just a very ordinary postcard with a short sentence: "Ye Ruoshui, I wish you a happy birthday in advance." This sentence seems to be nothing wrong, but if it is really a warning from behind the scenes, it means completely the opposite.
"Blessings in advance means there is no next time?" Zhou You said with interest.
"elder brother?"
"Have you investigated?" Zhou You asked.
Ye Ruoshui replied: "I have investigated. The three square patterns of the postcard were printed afterwards. I don't know who sent them. This kind of postcard is very ordinary."
Zhou You took the postcard and sniffed it, with the smell of perfume remaining on it.
"Brother, what should I do? You really want to assassinate me, right? He is a otakus, and he will be assassinated." Ye Ruoshui was so aggrieved.
"Anyway, you have been targeted. You were by my side before you haven't found the killer these days." Zhou You thought about it and was still not relieved that the Ye family's security system was safer to stay by his side.
Ye Ruoshui, who had a bitter face, heard that he could be with Zhou You for twenty-four hours, his eyes glowed. "Do you have to sleep together?"
Zhou You knocked on the table: "This is about your life, don't mess around."
"I just like to sleep with you, brother. Besides, you always slept with your sisters and the others in the past." After Ye Ruoshui said this, the waiter brought the coffee and cake. When he heard this, he almost shook his hands and spilled the coffee. "Ah, I'm sorry." The waiter was in a hurry, with an exaggerated expression of a brother and sister acting against ethical principles.
"You are still calculating about things when you were a child." Zhou You smiled and saved his image by the way.
Ye Ruoshui muttered a few times while drinking coffee, as if he was talking about someone who made you partial to the past.
"But I don't like being passive. It's better to take the initiative to be targeted by an assassin."
"Is it a counter-assassination?" Ye Ruoshui was very excited.
"But brother, since you say that this assassin is so powerful, you can't find anyone at all."
"We can start with this postcard." Zhou You smiled.
Ye Ruoshui was confused. She had already investigated the postcard. It was easy to buy it on the roadside. When it was sent, the postcard was secretly placed on a courier, so no one could know who sent it. "The perfume on the postcard."
"Perfume?" Ye Ruoshui sniffed it hard. The perfume smelled very lightly and almost disappeared. "It smells very fragrant." The girl suddenly realized: "Is the assassin a woman?"
"This postcard is printed with the pattern of Red Peach Three, which means that the postcard has been prepared for a long time, not bought casually. If the postcard can leave a perfume smell, it means that the postcard has been left for a long time. The perfume smell on it is not a perfume for women, and there are no spices such as cardamom and vanilla. I guess it should be blended with air freshener."
Ye Ruoshui blinked, not understanding.
"There are only a few high-end hotels that can have high-end air freshener in Xiahai City every day. In other words, the assassin stayed in a hotel in Xiahai City, and because the postcards are often placed in the room, they smelled of perfume."
"But there are too many high-end hotels in Xiahai City." As the most prosperous economic center in China and the largest financial center in Asia, there are countless hotels in Xiahai City. It will take several days to search for them one by one. If you call the police, it will obviously alarm the assassin, and this clue will be useless.
Of course Zhou You knew this. "Most of the assassins behind the scenes are from Europe, and the hotels they want to stay must be operated by foreign capital. First, they are familiar with each other, they are safe." There are many hotels in Xiahai City, but there are still five-star hotels run by foreign capital.
"Hilton, Arc de Triomphe, Elizabeth... Let's go and have a look first."
"Okay." Ye Ruoshui was so excited that he could not wait to hear that he could book a room with Zhou You.
Zhou You first went to the Arc de Triomphe Hotel, which is auspicious. The Arc de Triomphe Hotel is quite luxurious in Xiahai City. The gate of the hotel is a French Arc de Triomphe, which is also the feature of the Arc de Triomphe Hotel. When you arrive at the front desk, Zhou You asked the waiter about the air in the sea city with the excuse that the air freshener room was not easy.
Every room in Arc de Triomphe Hotel has air freshener, but the air freshener ingredients are different in different grades. The highest-end presidential suite is compared to the precious perfumes of Champs Elysees.
"I am a little allergic to me, so I want to go and check out the air fresheners in those luxurious suites first." Zhou You said.
"Ah, this... this guest, do you want to see the room?" The waiter looked at Zhou You with big eyes open.
"Yes, look at the room first." Zhou You wanted to see if the room air freshener could match the postcard. If it didn't match, he would run away from home.
"The deluxe suite costs 5888 per night. If you want to see the room, you must pay a deposit first." The waiter said politely.
"You need a deposit when you see a room? You're too domineering." Ye Ruoshui complained.
"Where did this come from the local bun? Come to a five-star hotel to see the house?"
"Do you want to steal something?"
"Now couples are too vain, they don't read well, and they think about comparing every day."
There were many guests in the front desk lobby who were surprised to see a couple visiting a five-star hotel and laughed at Zhou You's request for a house viewing. Zhou You then thought that who would go to see a house if he could live in a five-star hotel? Ye Ruoshui had never lived in it and was not very clear about these rules.
"Do you want to see the decoration of the luxury suite and show off to your friends?" A man in bright clothes next to him smiled.
"Husband, do you want to pay for them? That little girl is quite beautiful. It's a pity that I can't afford to live in a luxurious suite." The enchanting woman with heavy makeup beside the man echoed frivolously, looking at Ye Ruoshui's eyes with deep jealousy and superiority.
Jealousy comes from beauty, and superiority comes from money.
Ye Ruoshui was so angry that he actually said that the second lady of the Ye family had no money and that she could buy the Arc de Triomphe Hotel from her assets outside. The girl was about to take out her credit card, but Zhou You stopped her and took out a black card from her pocket: "If you are considered a luxury consumption, this card should be useful."
"This is a card, it's so dark, so ugly." The mistress looked disgusted.
The man nodded in agreement.
The waiter was shocked when he saw this black card. Zhou You looked a little surprised and his tone was a little nervous, "Is it a black... card... member? Sorry, I have to verify..."
"Yes." Zhou You also gave her the ID card.
"What kind of black card membership, do you have a husband?"
"I have lived in Arc de Triomphe so many times, and it's the first time I've heard it. It's probably a lie." The man curled his lips.
"Can you wait?" said the waiter carefully, with a much respectful attitude than before, which confused those who were watching jokes.
"So troublesome?" Zhou You frowned.
"The black card member consumption must be received by the manager, which is the regulation." The waiter said apologetically.
"No need, I just want to see the room." Zhou You said.
"The manager is coming down right away, please wait a moment." The waiter was about to cry.
Zhou You nodded helplessly.
"Brother, what's the card this?" Ye Ruoshui asked curiously.
Zhou You didn't know that he used acupuncture to save an old man when he was in Europe. The old man gave it. According to him, this card represents a member of the black card club. If you spend luxury all over the world, as long as the luxury item is on the club's list, you will have discounts. Zhou You doesn't like the so-called luxury items very much. Instead, he tried to buy drinks in the store with this black card, but almost acted as a liar. If it weren't for the exquisiteness of this card, Zhou You would have thrown it away long ago.
However, the five-star hotel is considered a luxury consumption. Zhou You didn’t have much money at all, so he tried it with this card, but he didn’t expect it to make the waiter feel nervous.
The people next to them were already talking.
The hotel manager quickly went downstairs, and the front desk waiter immediately led the manager to Zhou You. "Hello, hello, I am the hotel management manager Elsie. This is the first time you are using a black card to spend in our store. The presidential suite is free. I will take you there now." The Frenchman spoke fluent Chinese.
"No need, just go to the luxury suite first." Zhou You looked at the black card in his hand. He could actually stay in the presidential suite once for free. If he had known it would be so good, he had been busy all the way and was sleeping in the open.
"Brother, this card is so handsome. I will get one when I go back." Ye Ruoshui shouted excitedly.
The two followed the manager into the dedicated elevator in the luxury suite.
Originally, he was still mocking Zhou You and the guests were completely stunned.
"Husband, we also want to get one, the presidential suite is free?" The mistress shook the man's arm jealously.
"Waiter, what should I do with this black card?" The man suppressed his jealous anger.
"This guest, I'm sorry, the hotel does not have the right to apply for such a black card." The waiter said embarrassedly.
