I update my girlfriend's financial power every month.

Chapter 44 Tips for Saving on Hotel Costs

Starting from Shushui City, take the high-speed train to Yangzhou, which takes 4 hours.

Su Ying'er didn't find it boring. She and Zhou Lang chose to sit side by side and chatted quietly together.

When they encountered passengers sleeping nearby, the two of them would fall silent and communicate by typing on their phones. Once the passengers woke up and got off the bus, they would resume their quiet conversation.

The four hours they spent together gave them a good opportunity to talk about many things.

"Brother, my only slight worry is—will your family pressure you to get married soon?"

Su Ying'er looked nervous. After developing feelings for Zhou Lang, she thought about it again and again. Her biggest fear was that Zhou Lang would be of marriageable age and she wanted to find someone she could marry as soon as possible.

Zhou Lang smiled and shook his head: "My mother is a little anxious, but she's not pushing me to get married within a year or two."

Given that his money-power system refreshes one empty slot every month, he will at least have to unlock enough money-power to achieve complete financial freedom before considering settling down and getting married, or it's okay if he doesn't get married at all.

"Want to have a few more years of freedom before getting married?" Su Ying'er asked softly. She was only 18, two years shy of the legal marriage age. If Zhou Lang was in a hurry to get married, she couldn't possibly satisfy him...

"Whether we get married or not is still uncertain. Let's wait and see. Who can predict the future?"

Since the conversation had turned to views on marriage and relationships, Su Ying'er continued to ask, "So, brother, if your partner is very young, and you inevitably have to wait many years to get married... what if something goes wrong along the way? Would you simply choose not to start because you're worried about it not working out?"

Zhou Lang's true situation is that his money-power system desperately needs many girlfriends, so he's not afraid of relationships ending badly. On the contrary, in fact, no relationship ending well might actually be beneficial to him...

But I definitely can't say this to Su Ying'er directly.

He thought for a moment and then crafted a few words: "Ying'er, just like the 'Hakone Ekiden' you've seen, twenty teams compete for the championship, but there's also a student joint team that was drawn from other schools that weren't qualified to participate."

When Su Ying'er heard Zhou Lang say this, her eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"The students in the joint team were destined from the beginning to have no results, no ranking, no honors for their section, and no new records would be counted—but they all dreamed of participating and ran their section seriously."

"Brother?" Su Ying'er happily took Zhou Lang's arm. "So you watch it too! We have the same hobby!"

Zhou Lang gently pinched the tip of her nose: "No, it was when I was filming the movie 'Shai Qiu Niang' in Xiashan County that you mentioned it, so I've been cramming on it ever since."

They didn't share the same hobby, but Zhou Lang's words touched Su Ying'er even more: "Brother~"

"So, just like the Hakone Ekiden, even if you know there's no outcome, as long as you embark on this journey and start running, your dream has come true."

Zhou Lang said, "Similarly, just knowing you and spending time with you has made me incredibly happy."

He took Su Ying'er's small hand in his hand, which was warm and soft, with the smoothness unique to young girls: "Enjoy this journey that belongs to us. Don't worry about not reaching the end. Every day we spend together counts."

"Um!"

Su Ying'er leaned gently against Zhou Lang's shoulder, looked down at their hands, pouted, and whispered, "Brother, does this count as holding hands?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Lang squeezed her delicate white hand again. "You can break free anytime you want."

"I won't let go, hmph~"

……

Upon arriving in Yangzhou, the phrase "In the third month of spring, amidst the fireworks, I went down to Yangzhou" has ensured that this beautiful city has never lacked tourists for thousands of years.

Zhou Lang and Su Ying'er checked into a hotel, choosing the Yangzhou State Guest House.

The hotel, which covers an area of ​​over 400 acres and features a Jiangnan-style garden, boasts a prime location and is known for its high standards due to its frequent hosting of dignitaries.

The hotel offers scenic views at every turn, leading some tourists to claim that "staying at the Yingbin Hotel means you don't need to visit Slender West Lake separately."

Zhou Lang booked a family suite with two bedrooms in Guanfangyuan, Building 18.

The room is 100 square meters, with two separate 2.2-meter king-size beds, connected to a living room in the middle.

The price is 2400 yuan per night, including a hot spring ticket.

Zhou Lang naturally used the money ability of the [Savings Account].

[Is "Yangzhou State Guesthouse" designated as the participating venue for today's promotion?]

"Yes."

The 5000 yuan daily allowance can cover two nights' room fees, with some change left over to order a buffet breakfast.

This was the first time Zhou Lang had stayed in such an expensive hotel. If he were to pay for it himself, a chain hotel costing 300 yuan would be his limit. Back in college, he would often stay in youth hostels that cost 50 or 60 yuan a night.

The system never fools people, and Zhou Lang felt that if the organization were to hold a major competition to determine the most conscientious systems, his money-making system would definitely be on the list.

The system not only enabled him to earn millions a year, but even before he received his first million and it would be his last, it allowed Zhou Lang to live a life comparable to that of a billionaire.

Tian Wei's ability to rely entirely on her agility allowed him to freely change luxury cars worth millions.

Su Ying'er's "savings account" has resulted in a deposit of 50 yuan, with an annualized rate of 365%, and an annual allowance of 182 million yuan. Who wouldn't be confused by this?

After putting away her suitcase, Su Ying'er looked at the toiletries provided by the hotel while washing her hands: "It's Ferragamo, I think these are included in the room rate. Can I take them with me?"

She lay down on the bed and browsed Qunar.com: "Hey bro, there seems to be a cheaper room in Wanfangyuan, Building 3. A single double room is 500 yuan, so it's only 1000 yuan for two people."

Zhou Lang sat down next to her and reached out to touch her soft hair: "Building No. 3 was built the earliest and is the most affordable. Many tour groups book there now, so it's quite noisy."

"I see~"

"Building 18 here is a new building, and the price is a bit higher, but the service and attention to detail are better. It's a pity we couldn't book the best building, Building 8."

"Hehe, bro, your plan is so thorough."

Su Ying'er also pulled out her travel guide: "Then we'll try some local delicacies later. I think shrimp roe dumpling noodles and bamboo shoot and pork potstickers are a must-try!"

Zhou Lang couldn't resist teasing the young high school girl: "Hmm, I suddenly remembered, Ying'er, if you really want to save on room fees, is there another way?"

"Hmm?" Su Ying'er sat up, in a duck-like position, with her hands resting on Zhou Lang's shoulders, her eyes full of clear curiosity: "What is it?"

"Converting it to a standard room will save half the cost," Zhou Lang said.

Su Ying'er's face flushed, and she bumped her chin on Zhou Lang's shoulder, but she did not refute him. She just lowered her eyebrows and her eyelashes trembled.

Zhou Lang silently thought to himself, "Oh": It seems that these past few days, he's been indulging in more than just Yangzhou cuisine...
