Chapter 136 Peace Hotel
Upon hearing Wen Yaozu's words, Su Guilan's face visibly darkened, her wrinkles deepening as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Where did Wen Ci go?"

"They went south."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Chen began to nag, "She was brought back to take care of Huo Jingyuan, so what's the meaning of her running off to the south without a word?"

Yu Qing, unable to bear it any longer, retorted, "Are you even a woman? How can you be so gossipy? How do you know that Commander Huo didn't approve Wen Ci's trip to the south?"

the other side.

It took Wen Ci and his party three hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai.

As they landed, the setting sun cast its last rays, and fiery clouds dotted the horizon. Xiaochuan looked up at the sky, paused, and said, "What a beautiful sky."

Wen Ci followed the gaze and smiled, "Indeed beautiful."

Xu Jinghe glanced at Wen Ci and said, "Let's go home first, and then go to the factory to check on the goods tomorrow morning. My factory is in the suburbs, and it will be dark by the time we get there."

After hearing his explanation, Wen Ci nodded.

The Xu family's old residence is located in the HP district, which is the most prosperous area in Shanghai. There are several department stores there, representing the vision of the entire southern region.

"President Xu is back."

Xu Jinghe nodded in agreement. There are only so many people doing business in the HP district, and almost everyone knows each other. It's just a matter of courtesy to greet each other.

"Mr. Xu, who is this gentleman?"

"My sister-in-law."

Xu Jinghe openly and honestly explained Wen Ci's identity.

Suddenly, Wen Ci remembered that moving into the Xu family's old house would mean dealing with Xu's parents, and being socially awkward, she really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

She suggested, "How about I stay at a hotel?"

Shanghai is a big city with hotels.

The difference between a hotel and a guesthouse is that a hotel doesn't require a certificate from your work unit, but it's more expensive, costing around twenty yuan a night.

Wen Ci brought her bankbook with her when she went out this time.

She planned to withdraw a large sum of money from the bank to pay Xu Jinghe for goods; it wouldn't do to be in debt. Xu Jinghe asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Ci spoke frankly: "I'm not good at dealing with elders. I'll accompany Jingyuan to visit your uncle and aunt after he recovers from his injury."

Xu Jinghe considered it for a moment.

Since Wen Ci is not good at talking to elders, then let's just leave it at that.

"Then I'll get you a room at the Peace Hotel."

Wen Ci's eyes widened, and she repeatedly stopped her, saying, "No, no, no, forget about the Peace Hotel. We're here to make money, not to spend it."

The Peace Hotel was a very famous hotel in the 1980s. A night's stay would cost around 500 yuan for a standard room, and the top-class rooms were even more expensive.

Wen Ci asked curiously, "May I ask how much you are worth?"

Xu Jinghe did some mental calculations. The clothing factory was a business he had recently started, and the millions of yuan worth of goods stockpiled in the factory were just the tip of the iceberg of his wealth.

But he has always been about generating high returns with low costs.

"It must be tens of millions, right?"

Wen Ci was dumbfounded.

That mere million is nothing, isn't it?!
Wen Ci's mouth went dry. She raised her hand and gave Xu Jinghe a thumbs up, sincerely praising him: "You're really amazing! You actually have tens of millions in assets!"

"What is this?"

Huo Jingyuan's aunt is even richer.

Compared to Huo Jingyuan's aunt, his wealth is truly a drop in the ocean.

"Just consider it an experience?"

Wen Ci hesitated, wanting to experience the Peace Hotel of the 1980s but reluctant to spend the money. "Staying in a regular hotel is fine."

Xu Jinghe didn't press the matter, and jokingly said with a smile, "Then when you make money this time, it's the same if you stay at the Peace Hotel with Huo Jingyuan next time."
