From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Trip to Lijiang

"China Eastern flight MU9726 to Lijiang is now boarding. All passengers, please proceed to your gate for ticket inspection."

Hearing the airport announcement, Su Chen slowly rose from his seat in the VIP lounge. With his prior experience in the Imperial Capital, he navigated the process with practiced ease.

Yesterday, after chatting with Pei Rang and Aik, an idle Su Chen had an idea: it was time for a spontaneous trip.

He had so many places he’d wanted to visit before, but a tight budget had always constrained his dreams, so he had buried all those desires deep in his heart.

But things were different now. Su Chen had money, and he wanted to see the places he had only dreamed of before.

The first stop Su Chen chose was Lijiang! As for the reason... well, he wanted to see what the "City of Romantic Encounters" was really like.

Ahem, it wasn’t that he was looking to get lucky, of course. He was just purely trying to fulfill the travel dreams of his youth.

The flight from Shanghai to Lijiang took about four hours.

By the time Su Chen walked out of Lijiang’s Sanyi Airport, it was already three in the afternoon.

Since it was a spontaneous trip, he hadn’t done any research. The one saving grace was that he had booked a guesthouse in the ancient town, and to his surprise, it even included an airport pickup service!

Just as he stepped out of the airport, he saw a young man in his thirties holding up a sign, craning his neck and looking around. Su Chen’s name was printed clearly on it.

"Hello, I’m Su Chen!" Su Chen said, walking toward the man with his suitcase in tow.

Hearing it was Su Chen, the owner enthusiastically took the suitcase from him. "Hello! I’m the guesthouse owner, Yu Feng!"

Su Chen was a little surprised by the man’s introduction. ’Are guesthouses this competitive nowadays? The owner himself is doing airport pickups.’

The pickup vehicle was a minivan, though Su Chen didn’t recognize the brand.

"Judging by your accent, Boss Yu, you sound like you’re from the Northeast," Su Chen asked, curious.

"That’s right! From Ice City in the Northeast. I’ve been here in Lijiang for several years now! And from your accent, Brother Su, I’d say you’re from the Sichuan-Chongqing area, right?"

"Yep, from Wudu! Boss Yu, don’t all you Northeasterners flock to Sanya? What made you decide to open a guesthouse in Lijiang?"

"Lijiang is a place that leaves its mark on you."

Yu Feng’s face was filled with melancholy as he said this. Perhaps there was a moving love story hidden here.

Sanyi Airport was about thirty kilometers from Lijiang’s ancient town, a drive of about forty minutes.

The two chatted happily the whole way, especially when Yu Feng told him which places in Lijiang were worth seeing and where to be careful not to get scammed.

"Ink Hidden Inn!"

After a glance at the inn’s sign, Su Chen carried his luggage inside.

The inn was a standalone small building. The entrance opened into a large courtyard, giving it the feel of a traditional courtyard home. The yard was planted with all sorts of beautiful flowers, creating a particularly warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The entire inn was a wooden structure with two floors, and the room Su Chen had booked was on the second floor.

Just as Su Chen finished admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, Yu Feng strode in after parking the car.

"Brother Su, let me take you to your room first. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!"

Seeing Boss Yu’s confident expression, Su Chen’s anticipation grew.

There were only four rooms in total on the second floor, and Su Chen’s was at the end of the hall.

The moment he walked in and saw the wide-open window, Su Chen was stunned.

The view from the window overlooked more than half of the Lijiang ancient town. He could even lie in bed at night and enjoy the town’s nightscape.

"Boss Yu, I’m more than satisfied with this room!"
