Xu Yiyang said that if the school does not reimburse him, he will bear it himself. Mr. Hu and Director Li were immediately speechless.
They knew very well, how could the school not give it to them
I don't have the nerve to refuse.
When the time comes, the school arranges students to live in cockroach nests in order to save money. I am afraid that it will immediately spread throughout the school, and the school's image will be greatly affected immediately.
If Xu Yiyang is not reimbursed, and if word spreads that Xu Yiyang paid for it out of his own pocket to solve everyone's accommodation problems, the school's image will fall even further.
Therefore, even if Xu Yiyang chooses to live in a room that costs 1,000 yuan a day, the school will have to bite the bullet and reimburse him in full.
They really wanted to persuade Xu Yiyang to give up choosing a hotel that cost 600 yuan, but they also knew very well that persuasion was useless.
Xu Yiyang has just said that he is responsible for the money and has the final say on how to spend it.
Hu Bingwen knew Xu Yiyang's behavior style very well. Now that he had made up his mind, there was no point in trying to persuade him.
Shen Lele might be able to persuade him, but after all, Shen Lele and Xu Yiyang were of the same mind, and it was impossible for him to speak for himself.
Therefore, he had no choice but to acquiesce.
Just when Hu Bingwen was melancholy, Xu Yiyang's cell phone rang.
He answered the phone, and a man speaking non-standard Mandarin asked: "Is this Mr. Xu? I have arrived at the University of Hong Kong. Where are you?"
Xu Yiyang glanced at the 600-yuan Holiday Inn not far away and said, "I'm at the entrance of the Holiday Inn."
After that, he walked towards the Holiday Inn.
The other party immediately said: "Okay, I'll go over there right away. I drive a black Toyota Crown with the license plate number ending in 366."
As soon as everyone saw Xu Yiyang walking away, they hurriedly followed.
As soon as Xu Yiyang arrived at the door of the Holiday Inn, a black Crown parked on the side of the road, and his cell phone rang again.
As soon as he picked up the phone and connected it, the Crown's car glass lowered, and a middle-aged man in the driver's seat waved to him: "Xu Xiansen, here."
Xu Yiyang stepped forward, and the other party took a black leather bag directly from the passenger seat, took out a small bag wrapped in brown paper and handed it to Xu Yiyang.
"Xu Xiansen, please click."
Xu Yiyang was still wondering why the two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was so little, and it felt like just two bundles.
When I opened it, I saw that it was all Hong Kong dollars with a face value of NT$1,000.
Xu Yiyang expected that Fang Junhui had always done things safely, so there shouldn't be any problems with the money. Besides, counting so much cash on the street was indeed a bit ostentatious, so he said to him directly: "Thank you. Please tell Lawyer Fang that the money has been received." .”
The other party nodded and smiled and said, "A Fei told me that Xu Xiansen's matter should be resolved as quickly as possible!"
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "A Fei? That A Fei?"
The other party hurriedly said: "Ah Fei, Fang Junfei!"
Only then did Xu Yiyang realize that the word "fei" in his mouth actually meant "hui".
So he nodded and smiled: "I understand, thank you."
The other party added: "If Xu Xiansen still needs funds in Hong Kong these days, please contact Ah Fei at any time. We can solve it with any amount of cash, including Hong Kong dollars and US dollars."
Xu Yiyang nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, thank you!"
The other party said politely, then said goodbye and left.
Afterwards, Xu Yiyang took the money, waved to everyone, and went directly into the Holiday Inn.
Ten standard rooms, staying for 22 consecutive nights, 10% off, totaling HK$118,800.
When Xu Yiyang took out two stacks of thousand-yuan banknotes, all the students present cheered.
Subsequently, Xu Yiyang paid directly in cash, and the cash easily passed through the banknote detector without any problems.
Xu Yiyang, who successfully paid cash and booked a room, suddenly became a hero and even a savior in the eyes of all students.
Other fellow professors also felt relieved.
Although Mr. Hu and Director Li were horrified, they also felt pain in their hearts.
I was surprised that Xu Yiyang could actually pay for 200,000 Hong Kong dollars with just a phone call in Hong Kong. Isn't this a bit powerful
It hurts because the accommodation alone cost nearly 120,000 extra yuan, which is more than 125,000 yuan in RMB.
There is no doubt that the school will ultimately pay for this money, and both of them are outstanding school employees who care about the school...
However, the pain only lasted for a while.
Because the hotel's front desk clerk said that in the hotel room, the drinks in the beverage bar are free and refilled once a day; breakfast is self-service, and you can enjoy it for free with your room card; there is a gym and swimming pool on the basement floor, and you can also enjoy it with your room card. Free to use.
After hearing this, everyone realized that staying here for more than 20 days was like a vacation in Hong Kong.
To say you are unhappy is a lie.
Of course, school employees do feel sorry for the school, but Xu Yiyang and other students who come for exchanges do not feel any sympathy at all.
Everyone was relieved and felt that a new village had a bright future.
When everyone expressed their gratitude to Xu Yiyang, Xu Yiyang smiled casually and said: "After all, he is the student council president in name, so he always has to help everyone solve their problems."
Everyone hurriedly agreed. Hu Bingwen sighed softly and said to Xu Yiyang: "The student council president not only has to solve problems for students, but also occasionally has to share worries for the school..."
Xu Yiyang said: "Isn't this just to share the school's worries? Otherwise, how can the school solve the problem at hand? We can't sleep on the street waiting for the school to come to help. If the school asks someone we know to help again, then we may not be able to go back. "
Hu Bingwen blushed and nodded: "You are right."
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and asked everyone to issue room cards.
After everyone was assigned the room card, they immediately returned to the extremely dirty small hotel, took out their luggage, and left that ghost place as if they were running away.
After settling back into the Holiday Inn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After such a long trip, it was already getting dark, and no one wanted to go to Victoria Harbor or the city center for a stroll.
Director Li invited everyone to eat together at a nearby Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
After entering the tea restaurant, twenty people were divided into four tables and sat down. Director Li picked up the menu and looked at it, and was immediately shocked by the prices on it.
This is an inconspicuous tea restaurant that is similar to Shaxian snacks. A portion of noodles or barbecued pork rice costs more than 20 yuan. If you add a drink, you can’t buy it for 30 yuan. live.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous the food standard of fifty yuan per person per day was.
After all, Shen Lele was a girl who had attended a summer camp in the United States and had seen the world. She was shocked when she saw the price.
She whispered to Xu Yiyang: "This is too expensive. Just eating for one person costs thirty or forty yuan..."
Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "Hong Kong is like this. Everything is high, including high income, high prices, and even higher housing prices. There are many people who earn tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan a month, but very few people can afford to buy a house."
Zhang Wei, who was in the same room with him, exclaimed: "You can't afford a house with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan?"
Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "Two or three years ago, when Hong Kong's housing prices were not collapsing, a house of 100 square meters might have a market value of about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If you took out a loan to buy such a house, you could repay the loan in one month. It’s around 50,000 yuan. Even if a family of three all work and earn 15,000 yuan a month, the combined income is not enough to repay the loan, so how can we live on?”
"Oh my god..." Zhang Wei sighed: "The housing prices are too scary..."
Another boy said: "Maybe it's because Hong Kong has less land and more people, so housing prices have naturally gone up."
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "It is true that there is less land and more people, but there is still a lot of undeveloped land. To put it bluntly, the reason why housing prices in Hong Kong are ridiculously high is because the market is controlled by a few big families. They have increased housing prices step by step. With speculation reaching the current level, as long as Hong Kong's economy is not hit by a major financial crisis, they can ensure that Hong Kong's housing prices will only rise but not fall."
After a pause, Xu Yiyang continued: "So you see Hong Kong is so prosperous and so many people earn such high wages, but a large part of them are actually long-term workers who work for several big families, accounting for more than half of their income. , all contribute to several large families by buying houses. Some families of three or four work hard, but 80% of their income is used to pay off the mortgage, and this life will last for at least twenty years."
Ning Ruolin asked in surprise: "Xu Yiyang, haven't you ever been to Hong Kong? How come you know Hong Kong so well?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Have you ever heard that a scholar is a troubled person if he doesn't go out? I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run away?"
Ning Ruolin smiled and said nothing, but her eyes shone brightly.
She found that Xu Yiyang seemed to be more and more attractive.
At this time, at another table, Director Li looked over the menu tremblingly, and said with a bitter face to Hu Bingwen next to him: "Mr. Hu, judging from the price, fifty yuan per person a day is really not enough to eat. .”
Hu Bingwen nodded and said, "I just saw the wonton noodles ordered by the next table. It's such a small ball. Even an old man like me has to eat two bowls."
A slightly plump young professor said: "Hey, I guess I need to eat three bowls to be full."
Director Li immediately said: "If you eat less, think of it as losing weight, and you can't help spending money!"
Hu Bingwen sighed and said, "Xu Yiyang still has a lot of cash. How about we borrow some from him first and double the food standard for everyone, up to 100 per person per day."
Director Li hummed: "That's all we can do."
With that said, Director Li stood up, walked to Xu Yiyang's table, and whispered in his ear: "Xu Yiyang, can you lend me some money? I may not have enough cash on hand."
Xu Yiyang nodded and asked, "How much does Director Li want?"
Director Li said: "I plan to increase the catering budget by 50 Hong Kong dollars per person per day. There is a gap of more than 20,000. In addition, I feel that everyone seems to have underestimated the consumption level in Hong Kong. In the future, expenses in other places may also exceed the budget. , so if it’s convenient for you, you’d better lend me more.”
Xu Yiyang asked him: "Is fifty thousand enough?"
Director Li immediately nodded excitedly and said, "That's enough, that's enough. Fifty thousand is definitely enough."
Xu Yiyang said, "Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back to the hotel in the evening."
Director Li said with a smile: "Sure! Then I can order the dishes with confidence!"
