Chapter 1277: Rats Scurrying Across The Street
Xu Cheng’s words made the manager freeze, and he immediately said, “Our employees only found these things in your rooms, and they even specifically asked Mr. Du Gang. He said that Ms. Lina didn’t need these things, but he still asked us to organize them in case the two of you came back to get them. “We temporarily kept these things for a while, but we didn’t find the luxury goods you mentioned.”
The manager cursed inside. She was a poor person who relied on pretending to be someone else’s daughter to freeload. She was simply an insatiable lazy person, yet she was still lecturing them!
Of course, the manager could only think about that inside. This was something unavoidable when working in a hotel. No matter who you were facing, you had to always maintain a polite smiling face.
Xu Cheng shook her head and grabbed the manager’s collar. “Are you bluffing with me?! Did you pilfer my things?! Tell me! Was it you?!”
Upon hearing this, the manager’s face finally darkened. The guests could throw unreasonable tantrums, but they couldn’t doubt the staff’s ethics. Therefore, the manager no longer paid attention to Huang Ying and Xu Cheng and immediately threatened to call the police. He would let the police handle this matter and see where the so-called luxury goods were.
Upon seeing that the manager wanted to call the police, Huang Ying and Xu Cheng quickly stopped him.
It wasn’t easy for them to be released on bail. During the period of bail, they had to keep a low profile. If they got involved in another skirmish and the police were called, the police would definitely have an even worse impression of them.
Moreover, from the hotel staffs’ attitude, since they dared to call the police, it meant that they really didn’t steal their things.
After thinking this through, Huang Ying and Xu Cheng quickly took the bags with their things and left the hotel quickly. From time to time, the contemptuous and mocking voices of other guests could be heard. Feeling like rats scurrying across the street and being despised by everyone, Huang Ying and Xu Cheng gritted their teeth.
This was insufferable to Xu Cheng, who had always been prideful. Both of her hands were clenched so tightly that they were about to bleed.
In the end, Huang Ying and Xu Cheng found a small hotel in the alley and rented the cheapest room.
Usually, this kind of small hotel would be privately owned. The environment was dirty and messy, and the facilities were old. The people who lived here were shady, and there were all sorts of people there.
Huang Ying and Xu Cheng chose the cheapest room. There were no windows inside, and there was only a nearly broken ventilation fan. The walls were full of black mold, and the entire room was filled with the smell of mold.
The bathroom door was broken and couldn’t be closed at all. There was no toilet, only a squat pit, and flushing was done by pulling the rope.
Xu Cheng’s family had stopped using this kind of toilet before she even went to primary school. Their current situation was even worse than that of the Xu family back then.
Xu Cheng could tolerate all of this. What she couldn’t tolerate the most was the disgusting spots and yellow marks on the bed sheets and pillows, as well as the sour smell from the quilt.
Finally, Xu Cheng couldn’t take it anymore and rushed downstairs to directly argue with the innkeeper.
“It’s fine that our room doesn’t have windows, but the toilet door is broken and the room is filled with a musty smell. The bedding on the bed also smells. Is this how you run a hotel?! I want to file a complaint against you!”
“Complaint?” The innkeeper chuckled. “If you don’t want to stay, then leave. There are plenty of people waiting to stay! You guys spent 50 yuan to stay in a room for a night, so how good can you expect it to be?”
“You!” Xu Cheng was furious, but at this moment, she could only endure it. At least change the bed sheets, quilts, and pillowcases for us.”
The innkeeper couldn’t be bothered with her. “It’s a new one! If you can’t stand it, then buy a new one and change it yourself. That’s how we do it in our inn!”
