There is a happy inn in the capital.

The man, with protruding earlobes and a sunken forehead, glanced back at the woman and said, "Hurry up, what are you dawdling about?"

Perhaps because her husband was urging her, the woman became impatient, and it looked like he was about to fall.

Li Shuchen had been watching closely, and just as she was about to fall, he caught her and whispered, "Madam, be careful."

The woman, barely able to steady herself, blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, young lady."

Li Shuchen: "You're too kind, Madam."

The man glared at the woman, his expression extremely impatient: "Hurry up and come here."

Turning to Boss Li with a beaming smile, he said, "This is my wife. I'm so sorry she's made a fool of herself."

Mr. Li said indifferently, "Mr. Ding, didn't you want to stay at the hotel?"

He then asked his wife gently, "Has your wife decided which room you'd like to stay in?"

Mrs. Li: "I want to live in a secluded valley, surrounded by orchids."

Boss Li: "Alright, give me a secluded, secluded room."

Manager Xu: "Please, the room is on the second floor."

After taking the cards, Mr. Li led his wife away, carefully helping her up the stairs and even considerately lifting the hem of her dress.

Mrs. Ding looked on with envy, then turned to look at her husband.

Mr. Ding was unaware of Mrs. Ding's gaze and expectant look; he only saw Mr. Li leave.

In a hurry, I ordered a room called "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" and chased after them.

Completely forgot that his wife was still downstairs

Li Shuchen was speechless. What kind of person was this? With such a good example as Boss Li right in front of him, he didn't even know to learn from him. He had no moral compass whatsoever. Did he even deserve to be a husband?

Li Shuchen walked up to Madam Ding and said, "Madam, let me escort you upstairs."

Madam Ding nodded to Li Shuchen, her eyes slightly red: "Okay."

Li Shuchen supported Madam Ding, whose every step was heavy.

Li Shuchen didn't know how to cheer her up, so she could only bring up some desserts later, hoping it would make her happier.

Li Shuchen led Madam Ding to the entrance of the chrysanthemum-scented gate: "Madam has arrived."

Mrs. Ding: Thank you.

Soon after, Xiao Jizi's voice came through the broadcast.

Happiness level +20

Happiness level +2

Li Shuchen knew without a doubt that the +20 happiness value belonged to Boss Li and his team.

And this happiness value of +2 is what Boss Ding and his team...

Li Shuchen was delivering menus and tea to Boss Li when he happened to see Boss Li giving his wife a shoulder massage.

Li Shuchen couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Li, you're so good to your wife!"

Mr. Li replied, "What's this? Without my wife, I wouldn't be who I am today. It's only right that I treat her well."

After hearing this, Li Shuchen imagined: "But Madam Li saved Boss Li's life."

Mr. Li then massaged Mrs. Li's temples, saying, "No, but it feels like being reborn."

Li Shuchen was puzzled. What did this mean? Perhaps noticing Li Shuchen's confusion, Boss Li kindly explained:

“Every time I gave my wife a gift, my business dealings went exceptionally smoothly. I always felt that this wealth was brought to me by my wife. Unconsciously, I went from being penniless to owning a house and shops.”

Li Shuchen nodded, and Boss Li picked up the menu and glanced at it.

He asked, "Are there still any of these 'spring specials' left?"

Li Shuchen: "Yes, it's a new product from our inn. It's sweet and pink overall."

Mr. Li: "One set, please. My wife loves sweets."

Li Shuchen: Okay

Mr. Li ordered several more dishes, a good mix of meat and vegetables; he really knows how to eat.

Similarly, Li Shuchen also delivered menus and tea to Boss Ding's place.

Before even entering the door, I could hear Boss Ding's resentful voice: "Put some effort into it! Can't you even give a proper massage? I've traveled all this way, do you know how hard it is to earn money for you?"

Li Shuchen wondered why Boss Ding was also using PUA tactics on Mrs. Ding.

Li Shuchen knocked on the door, interrupting Boss Ding's spellcasting.

Boss Ding's tone was particularly aggressive: "Who is it?"

Li Shuchen wanted to throw the tea in his face, but took a deep breath and tried to speak gently, saying, "I've brought the tea and the menu."

Boss Ding: "Come in."

Li Shuchen placed the items on the table, and Boss Ding picked up the menu to look at it.

Li Shuchen deliberately said, "Our store's new 'Spring Special' tastes quite good. Judging from the description, Boss Ding is the kind of good husband who dotes on his wife and earns money only to spend on her. I'm sure he'd be willing to buy some for Mrs. Ding to try."

Li Shuchen showered Boss Ding with compliments, making him feel quite pleased.

Just when Li Shuchen thought Boss Ding was about to place an order

Then, Mr. Ding casually remarked, "My wife doesn't like sweets."

Li Shuchen frowned. What? You don't like sweets? How many women don't like sweets? Look at your golden crown, your gold thumb ring, and the fine jade pendant at your waist. Those must have cost a fortune. It's not like you can't afford them. If you don't want to buy them, just say so. Why are you trying to fob me off with this?

Mrs. Ding, did you hear that? He's lying to you. Don't believe his nonsense.

Li Shuchen glanced at Madam Ding; the light that had just appeared in her eyes quickly faded.

Li Shuchen felt a pang of pity watching this, and thinking that he must persuade Boss Ding to buy this dessert set for Madam Ding, he casually remarked, "Boss Li did order a set for Madam Li to try, saying that a man who treats his wife well is the one who can make a lot of money."

Mr. Ding asked, "Did Mr. Li really say that?"

Li Shuchen nodded solemnly: "Yes, absolutely true."

Boss Ding muttered, "Make big money, make big money."

He said to Li Shuchen, "Then give me one too."

Li Shuchen smiled, his eyes narrowing: "Okay, Boss Ding."

Li Shuchen took the menu to the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Two orders of special items sold out, not bad."

Go and take a walk around the living room to see if the guests need anything.

A figure in purple immediately came into view; wasn't that Ziying?

Li Shuchen stepped forward: "Ziying, what brings you here? Did you come to see if I'm alright?"

Gu Ziying tapped Li Shuchen's nose a few times and said, "You'll definitely do it. The guest room is full of people; I'm here to eat."

Also, a business friend of mine needs to stay at a hotel. Let me introduce you to Ms. Bai, a southerner, who's here to discuss some business.

Bai Yanran greeted Li Shuchen: "Greetings, Miss Li. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me."

She possesses the classic beauty of a southern woman, with a face as delicate as a lotus and eyebrows as graceful as willow leaves. Her voice is gentle and soft, like a spring breeze, so soothing and comforting.

Li Shuchen returned the greeting, saying, "Hello, Miss Bai. Don't worry, I always give extra attention to beautiful women." He then winked at Miss Bai, causing her to blush deeply.

Even though Miss Bai had traveled far and wide and met many people, she had never seen a girl like Li Shuchen before, and found her quite rare.

Li Shuchen took the room key and led the group up to the second floor.

As Li Shuchen walked, he said, "I noticed that Miss Bai's hairpin is in the shape of an orchid, so she must like orchids. I took the liberty of choosing this place, 'Orchid in a Secluded Valley,' with an orchid theme. I hope Miss Bai will like it."

Bai Yanran: "The room has a theme, this is the first time I've seen one like this. I'll definitely take a good look at it later."

This clearly piqued Miss Bai's interest.

"This is the first time I've heard of this either. Where did you get this idea?" Gu Ziying smiled and tapped Li Shuchen's forehead.

Li Shuchen smiled and remained silent.

Upon entering, to the right is a rosewood bed with a carved crane design, draped with double-layered gauze curtains—a thin inner gauze and an outer layer of silk.

There was a small flower stand nearby, on which sat a pot of orchids. The fragrance of orchids wafted through the air, clear and pure, without being overpowering.
