Chapter 937: Chapter 33: Socialite Splitting Group_3

Li Yunxi saw Yang Chen looking at his phone and laughing, so she asked, "What are you looking at that’s making you so happy?"

Yang Chen saw that she also had a smile on her face and said, "Nothing much, I took a passenger this morning who gave me a bad review. You look pretty happy too, did you find a boyfriend?"

Li Yunxi seemed very afraid that Yang Chen would misunderstand, and quickly showed her phone to him, saying, "Of course not, I don’t have a boyfriend. My university roommate added me to a socialite group. So I asked her what kind of group it was, and she told me to voluntarily withdraw and didn’t answer me anymore. I checked out the chat, and it almost killed me with laughter. Take a look; I guarantee you’ll laugh yourself to death too."

Yang Chen took the phone, flipped through the group chat messages.

Indeed, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

For example, a group member with the ID "Hold the Baby" sent a message.

"I’m planning to go on a date with a backup tonight and need a Hermes kelly25 milkshake white bag, 1500 for a month. Is anyone willing to split the cost? I only need it for the two days of Christmas, the rest of the time you can use it freely. Anyone interested, please press 1, I’ll create a smaller chat group."

Afterwards, a few group members really pressed 1, but it’s unclear if they created a smaller chat for discussion.

For instance, the group member with the ID "Cherry Meatball" also sent a message.

"I’m going on a date with a newly acquainted company president tonight, I’m planning to spend big and book a room at the Bulgari Hotel to have fun with him, and then get him to pay the full room fee and give me some gifts. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, any sisters thinking the same? I’ll find a way to leave before 12 o’clock, and afterwards you can use the time however you want. You can watch a movie, have a midnight snack, then return to the hotel room after 12 o’clock. The room costs 80,000 per night, daring sisters, go ahead and join me in this gamble, press 1 if you’re willing, I’ll create a group for detailed discussion."

Spending 80,000 to book a room at the Bulgari, that’s quite something.

And as expected, the sisters in the group were trying to talk her out of it.

"Wow, that’s way too risky, right? What if the guy doesn’t behave and refuses to pay the room fee? Then you’ll lose 80,000 and get humiliated, that’s a huge loss."

"Sister, you really have guts, that’s quite daring. But if it succeeds and he transfers the full room fee to you and gives you some decent gifts, then you’d make a huge profit. He might even see you as a rich and beautiful woman after realizing you can book such an expensive room and might want to be with you. I think sisters who have the means and guts might as well give it a try. You could potentially share it between three people tonight, one before 12, and then until mid-morning tomorrow before another checks out at noon."

"I wouldn’t dare to play like this, I’m not good at talking, if I fail to convince him to transfer the full room fee, then it’s truly a big loss."

"Haha... it’s okay if you’re not good at talking..."

"Damn! I hate this kind of instantly understood lifestyle."

...

Yang Chen was thoroughly engaged in reading when suddenly a popup message appeared: the group owner had removed Li Yunxi from the group.

"Well, can’t see it anymore," Yang Chen said with a smile, handing the phone back to Li Yunxi.

Li Yunxi: "I didn’t expect my university roommate would do such things, it really surprises me."

At this point, Wang Yuwei sent Li Yunxi a private message.

"Sorry, sister, this group really isn’t suitable for you. But, if you feel you need it, I can still add you back. I’m currently the head of the socialite group-buy. I saw the photos you posted on your feed, are you near Prince Gong’s Mansion now?"

Li Yunxi immediately replied, "Yes, I’m near Prince Gong’s Mansion, going to Yonghe Palace later."

Wang Yuwei: "You should’ve told me earlier, then I could’ve arranged to host you properly. Alright, I’m heading to Yonghe Palace now, we can meet there later. It’s rare for you to visit Beijing; I must take good care of you."

Li Yunxi replied, "No need! You just started this group and must be very busy. Don’t worry about me, take care of your things."

Wang Yuwei: "I only handle setting up the group and pulling people in for a 500 yuan entry fee, I don’t handle anything else. It’s not my business if they split costs, I wouldn’t do these demeaning things. That’s settled then, let’s meet at Yonghe Palace later. I’m signing off, going to pick up my boyfriend and we’ll meet you later. Bye."

Looks like Wang Yuwei is pretty clever, she even managed to come up with a way to make money like this.

Within such a short time she has over 500 group members, with each paying a 500 yuan group entry fee, that’s a 250,000 yuan income.

Tsk tsk tsk...

Quite the business acumen.

Li Yunxi said helplessly to Yang Chen, "Well, the group owner messaged saying she’s going to Yonghe Palace to find me later. If you think it’s inconvenient, then we can separate; you do your thing, and I’ll deal with her. Although we may be drifting apart, we’re still university roommates, so I have to do this."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay! You decide, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my visit."

Li Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Alright! Then let’s see how it goes later. Since she’s bringing her boyfriend, if needed, I hope you can pretend to be my boyfriend to save face. As long as you do me this favor, feel free to ask for anything in return. Okay?"
