Although, the leader was still skeptical: "You two are quite enthusiastic about business trips, huh?" Ever since last year, it seemed like these two had secrets, and their colleagues also suspiciously observed them. The two of them kept a straight face: "Always staying in the office gets boring. It’s spring, and seeing the scenery might give us some good spots to take our families to later..." The crowd immediately dispersed: "Young people indeed are energetic, just wanting to run outside in spring." "I just wish there won’t be a day-off swap during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, I’m tired of these swaps." "On holidays, I just want to lie at home..." "What are you dreaming about? The kids have a school sale on Saturday, parents have to man the stalls." "Your kid’s school has a sale? My kid’s school has me on duty on Monday..." "It’s annoying, my kid’s social activity is picking up trash. After work, I’m dead tired and still have to pick up milk cartons with him..." "Tch! Are you stupid? You can buy that stuff online! Spend a bit to save hassle..." "No, the kid takes it seriously..." Chatter filled the room, and soon the topic shifted to child education and parental issues. Those employees whose children were already in college and the yet-to-be-married young employees exchanged a glance and began to check their wallets. This trip will yield lots of great stuff, at the cost of an emptied wallet... it’s a bittersweet joy! While everyone was worried about the Chinese Merganser, Lun Jing received notice from Lun Chuan: "The production team wants to book our guesthouse. Don’t book out the remaining rooms from 4/17 to 5/10." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Lun Jing was delighted: "How much will they pay?" Lun Chuan had already made a decision — the multicolored macaron mushrooms took up a lot of space, although the rooms were spacious enough, the three-storey house with an attic had 25 rooms. Among them, two rooms were already booked, and the two rooms on both sides of the attic belonged to Lun Chuan and Lun Jing. The remaining 21 rooms ranged from 777 to 1288 in price. All in all, the daily room rates were around 18,000. But since there’s no need to provide meals, and it is a nearly month-long stay, the discount was similar to what was offered to Top Brother and the downsizing guy. After all, they were the first batch of guests: "Let’s round it to 360,000." The price might sound shocking, but Lun Chuan had worked with production teams before, understanding the living expenses of actors nowadays — rooms are arranged based on their rank, and catering standards are tiered. If anything displeases them, fans and agencies might cause a fuss. Of course, most actors in this crew were newcomers, but even newcomers can have significant followings. "Isn’t this too expensive?" Lun Jing was a bit hesitant, but having stayed at thousand-yuan hotels in scenic spots, it didn’t seem that exorbitant... "It’s fine," Lun Chuan was calm: "Mom, remember, running the guesthouse is just to give you something to do, a place to stay; making money isn’t the point." Hearing this made Lun Jing relax: "True, I do have money and am retired now, not making money seems normal." Thinking this way, she quickly made a quote and sent it to Secretary Xiaozu. After hanging up, Lun Chuan looked toward Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you need a shower and freshen up first?" The two had become dusty while cleaning. After finishing his work, Lun Chuan did want to help out, but recalling his delicate nature, the two brothers pushed him out the door— His brand-new knit sweater ended up with two gray handprints. When Zhang Yanping returned, he saw that Lun Chuan had changed into another light gray knit sweater — such attention to detail! He really seemed ill-matched with Song Tan, who wouldn’t mind wearing a parka all year round. Zhang Yanping suddenly realized: "Never mind being sloppy, we’ll have to work again in the afternoon anyway." While talking, they dusted off their clothes, and Lun Chuan instinctively covered his nose, stepping further to the side. Zhang Yanping himself coughed twice, but when he saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh: "Look at you and Tantan, aside from your faces, everything else is highbrow versus folksy — she has just a few outfits, while you have almost two changes a day." It wasn’t quite two changes a day, but hearing this, Lun Chuan realized he indeed had... Apart from that buttery yellow dress she bought with him before New Year’s, Song Tan’s daily clothes were extremely simple, her style solely depended on what she grabbed. Even though her looks could carry anything, sincerity or effortlessness was quite apparent. Realizing this, Lun Chuan fell silent, then made a decision, decisively opening a shopping app. When Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun finished freshening up and came back, they saw Lun Chuan intently staring at his screen. As Zhang Yanping approached, he immediately locked the screen. The gangster didn’t notice and instead smiled happily towards him, eager to share the good news with the world: "Our guesthouse is booked! Secretary Xiaozu said we’ll receive full payment within three days, this really solves our urgent need!" "Congratulations." Lun Chuan also smiled, understanding these two were indeed broke. His genuine sincerity made him all the more appealing. Xin Jun was also visibly pleased: "We invested what was needed in the early stages, with this money, supporting expenses for the next few months won’t be an issue— By the way, Lun Chuan, is your guesthouse booked too?" Lun Chuan was about to say no when a message on his phone caught his eye, so he nodded: "Just got word that it is." "For how much?" Zhang Yanping curiously chimed in, "We must thank Zhao Fangyuan and Old Xu. Their excellent design and hard work made it possible for our guesthouse to open at such an ideal time!" "Oh, if I tidy up a bit more, we could even advance the trial opening—could you check the Almanac for an auspicious day?" Lun Chuan nodded, calmly replying: "Indeed, I gave an individual bonus to Boss Xu, every worker got one, your portion included." "Designer Zhao doesn’t seem short of money, and isn’t here, a direct transfer felt too formal, so I pre-ordered a gift from a brand store, to be sent with your shares." "The guesthouse was booked with a large discount, roughly 360,000 upfront." "Let’s hope both our businesses see a prosperous start." His response was unhurried and sincere, ensuring no oversights, even considering Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun’s embarrassment. Yet, at this moment, the Xiaokang duo couldn’t help but murmur, bitter with envy. Others not only had more guests, but the production team booked for a month, and the price was even four times higher than theirs!
