Chapter 611: Chapter 393: Su Hang Residence, No Easy Task
"Ah~ it’s such a pity, why can’t we go inside and take a look!
The three people before were already so impressive, and from what they said, that unseen ’Hero of Guanzhong’ seems to be even more formidable.
In the end, who won? This is really keeping people on tenterhooks..."
On the way back, Tang Xiaoqi kept muttering, feeling very regretful that she hadn’t seen the final part.
It felt just like when Mr. Jin finished writing about Juxian Manor and Qiao Feng had his last drink, after building up the atmosphere to climax, and then telling you to continue watching you’d need to subscribe to a membership.
"...Junior? Junior? Are you listening to me?"
"Ah? Oh! Senior Sister, what did you say?"
Zheng Wan was still recalling the strange scene he had just witnessed, and it took Tang Xiaoqi calling him twice to snap out of his daze.
"I said, do you have Brother Meng’s contact information?"
"Ah?" Zheng Wan was stunned for a moment, and his gaze instantly became guarded.
"Senior sister, you want Brother Meng’s phone number? Why?"
"To ask him about the results of the match! Also, I hear he’s quite skilled in medicine, so maybe he could help if an elder at home gets a headache or fever.
Better safe than sorry, right? Hehe!"
"Oh! So that’s why." Zheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Right! I forgot to ask Brother Meng for his contact information again!"
"Ah? You don’t have it either, but aren’t you guys friends?" Tang Xiaoqi asked, puzzled.
"Uh... Actually, I’ve only met Brother Meng once before, he sa...helped me out a lot."
Zheng Wan quickly corrected himself.
Instinctively, he didn’t want to share his somewhat dark history with the girl he liked.
"I see..." Tang Xiaoqi was slightly disappointed.
"It’s a pity, I was actually thinking of asking him to let me watch if there is another match featuring the ’Hero of Guanzhong’ next time.
He must be an incredibly formidable fighter, I wonder what kind of person he is, whether he’s handsome or not..."
"Uh... Senior sister, don’t you think people who like boxing tend to be quite violent?" Zheng Wan tentatively asked.
"How could that be? Don’t you think people who box are very manly? They have good physiques and provide a sense of security, and if they are handsome that would be perfect!
Ah~ If only I could find such a boyfriend..."
Zheng Wan: "..."
Facing the girl who covered her heart, her eyes sparkling with stars, openly revealing her romantic expectations, his heart sank.
He looked down at his slightly frail standard otaku physique, neither manly nor reassuring.
Unless his face matched her aesthetic standards, his chances were probably slim.
Was love about to fade away before it even started?
The many troubles Meng Lang had previously created hadn’t weighed on his mind as heavily as this comment from Senior Sister...
At that moment, he made a decision that surprised even himself...
Silently turning around, he headed in the direction of Liang Shanbo.
"Hey! Junior, where are you going?"
To save my love...
He silently said to himself.
...
"Here we are, this place is close by, the environment is nice, convenient for treatment, and very suitable for Master Li to recuperate!
Brother Meng said since you two have come from far away, tired from your travels, he insisted on making sure you were well settled.
I looked around for half a day, and this is the best fit!
I’ve reserved the rooms, you two can just go and check in.
Master Li, you like the environment of the Shangri-La Hotel, don’t you?" Cheng Biao asked with a grin.
Li Lei and his disciple looked at the opulent hotel lobby, the mirror-like marble floors, and the professionally smiling receptionists and guests, and were momentarily lost for words.
Satisfied? It’s a five-star hotel arrangement, what could there be to be dissatisfied with?
Is it perhaps too luxurious?
But it was well-intentioned, and Li Lei was filially pious.
Considering Master needed a better environment to recuperate, Li Lei was willing to stay for a few days.
"Thank you, please make sure to thank Master Meng for us!"
Being in a strange city, the fact that they not only had their treatment arranged but also their accommodation considered, filled Li Lei with gratitude.
His opinion of Master Meng could be summed up in two words... noble!
"It’s no trouble at all, I, Cheng Biao, have a deep respect for martial arts experts like you, and it’s my honor to meet you!
Here, this is my business card, if you encounter any issues, feel free to call me anytime."
Cheng Biao said as he handed over two business cards with a smile.
The two took them and glanced at the business cards.
"Wanwu Security Service Ltd... General Manager?!"
They were somewhat surprised.
They had initially thought he was just a friend of Master Meng, not expecting him to be a company owner.
"Well, we won’t disturb the two of you any longer, rest well. You are welcome to visit our dojo anytime."
Before leaving, Ah Xing, following behind Brother Biao, looked at Li Lei and smiled showing his teeth.
"You’re very strong! We didn’t get to spar today, maybe next time we can exchange a few moves?"
"Haha! No problem!"
After the two left, Li Lei supported his master as they approached the reception to check in.
The receptionist, with a smile, said.
"Hello, you have reserved two deluxe scenic king rooms, each at 1888 per night, including breakfast. How many days would you like to stay?"
Li Lei: "..."
All I have is a mere 30,000 for emergencies, how many days can I stay?
Master Meng was indeed generous, maybe just a tad too generous...
"Ahem! No need for such an expensive room, just switch to a regular double room!"
Seeming to notice his disciple’s awkward situation, Master Li coughed and waved his hand as he spoke.
"Alright, a standard double room costs 888 per night, breakfast not included. How many days would you need?"
The receptionist still wore a smiling face, demonstrating her professional demeanor.
Li Lei and his disciple: "..."
A standard room costs 888? That’s almost as much as three or four days’ room rent back home!
Is the hotel expense in Su City really this outrageous?
However... observing his master’s rosy complexion, which seemed to have genuinely improved, Li Lei gritted his teeth.
"No need, Master, I snore so loudly at night, how could you rest well if we share a room? Let’s get two of those scenic-view king rooms!"
"Lei Zi..." Master Li wanted to say something else, but Li Lei cut him off.
"Don’t worry, Master, your health is what matters. It’s just a bit of money, you really shouldn’t worry about it!
Besides, we’re only staying a few days. I’ll find a suitable rental in a couple of days, and then we can move there," Li Lei said, trying to sound nonchalant.
Seeing Li Lei’s insistence, Master Li could only nod in agreement.
After the two completed the check-in, the receptionist handed them two room cards.
Noticing that it was getting late and remembering that his master hadn’t eaten yet, Li Lei asked.
"By the way, do you have a dining area here?"
"Yes, sir. Besides breakfast, our hotel offers a buffet dinner on the 2nd floor for 288 per person. You’re welcome to dine!"
Li Lei: "..."
The receptionist’s smile remained sweet, yet somehow it seemed as if horns had grown on her head when she quoted the prices.
1888, 888, 288... Does your hotel have any expenses under three figures at all?
"Lei Zi..."
"Let’s go, Master! Let’s eat first!"
Wincing at the cost, Li Lei treated his master to a lavish seafood buffet, then made sure he was well settled for the night before heading back to his room. He immediately took out his phone and opened DonkeyNet.
The top priority was to urgently find a rental nearby...
Having just paid a hefty medical fee and kept 30,000 for emergencies, he thought that amount was more than enough to last a while. Now, it seemed a bit doubtful.
New in town and considering underground boxing to earn some cash, he couldn’t find an entrance for the time being...
"Damn! Robbery! A two-bedroom is 3500 a month?!" Li Lei’s eyes widened.
After scrolling through DonkeyNet for a while, he couldn’t find a suitable house under 3000.
Either the decor was too shabby or the location too remote.
Anything slightly decent was priced outrageously high.
Even at the minimum of 3500 a month, requiring one-month deposit and one month rent, plus utilities, agency fees...
He hadn’t even started anything, and it felt like at least ten thousand were already gone...
Although he wasn’t wealthy before, relying on boxing for income, single Li Lei felt he was still living above a reasonably comfortable level.
But it wasn’t until he came here that he realized how difficult living in Su Hang could be...
In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, one of the most developed coastal areas,
especially around Su Hang, local wages may not match Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, but the per capita disposable income is certainly not inferior.
Moreover, being a renowned national tourist area with a pleasant environment,
The characteristic of this tourist city meant that while wages might not be very high, the cost of living certainly was!
Li Lei looked up to the sky and sighed deeply.
Tough indeed for a hero without enough money!
Fortunately, with the money left, there should just be enough for the return fare after the treatment.
Luckily they met a real Divine Doctor; just one treatment session greatly alleviated the master’s illness.
As long as his master was cured, earning money was something he could do once they returned home.
During this period, he must ensure his master stayed in the best environment and used the best medicine!
Right, the medicine!
Li Lei just remembered Meng Lang had given him a prescription earlier, advising him to get it filled to help his master replenish his energy and blood.
His master’s treatment couldn’t be delayed!
He immediately went out.
With many shops and full amenities near the hotel, he soon found a fairly large pharmacy.
"Master, could you please prepare a few doses according to this prescription?"
"Sure, let me take a look first."
The pharmacist took a sip of tea and then casually took the prescription, glanced over it and seemed a bit stunned.
After a more careful look, he couldn’t help but look up at Li Lei.
"This dose is for one day. How many would you like to buy?"
"Hmm... let’s start with a week’s supply."
Upon hearing this, the old pharmacist’s face bloomed into a smile as warm as the sun, and he became much more enthusiastic.
"Please wait a moment, I’ll have your medicine ready shortly!"
Ten minutes later...
"Here you are, sir. That will be 5888 yuan. Will you be paying through Alipay or WeChat Pay?"
Li Lei: "..."
He stood there dumbfounded.
The fare for the return trip?
He felt that he might need to reconsider that.
And how to ensure that he and his master wouldn’t end up sleeping on the streets...
