chapter 15 Don't even think about it in this life

After leaving Cuikakuan, Bradlety Ye did not immediately go home.
He wanted to give his wife a complete surprise on their wedding anniversary.
The surprise was not just an emerald necklace; he also wanted to give her a romantic wedding ceremony.
Initially, Bradlety Ye and Lorcia Xiao had to get married hastily under the insistence of the elder, and they did not have time to organize a wedding ceremony.
The elder wanted to pick a good day for a grand wedding, but soon after they got their marriage certificate, he fell severely ill and was hospitalized, delaying the wedding indefinitely.
After the elder passed away, Bradlety Ye was looked down upon by everyone in the Xiao family, so the chance of having a wedding ceremony became even more remote.
But now, Bradlety Ye, being wealthy, decided to give his wife the grandest and most dignified wedding ceremony!
Thinking about organizing the wedding, the first place that came to his mind was the sky garden of the Buckingham Palace Hotel!
The Buckingham Palace Hotel was the best in Jin Ling, with no close second. It had a vast area, luxurious decorations, and a large, high-end shopping mall inside.
The sky garden, located at the top of the mall, was entirely made of crystal glass and designed by a top Italian designer. It was adorned with high-end flowers freshly air-flown from abroad, appearing like a grand garden floating in the air from afar.
It was also the grandest and most luxurious banquet hall in Jin Ling. Hosting a wedding there could cost millions, even tens of millions.
Now that Bradlety Ye had money, a few million was nothing to him. Making his wife happy was all that mattered.
So, he went to the Buckingham Palace Hotel, intending to book the sky garden for their wedding anniversary.
However, Bradlety Ye was unaware that the hotel operated a membership system. Whether dining, staying, or hosting a banquet, one must be a member.
The memberships varied: regular members could only eat in the hall and stay in standard rooms; silver members could dine in private rooms and stay in luxury rooms; gold members could dine in luxury private rooms and stay in luxury suites; platinum members could dine in the sky garden and stay in top luxury suites.
The highest level was the diamond membership, only granted to those with significant social status. Diamond members could book the entire sky garden for events and stay in the presidential suite.
When Bradlety Ye arrived at the Buckingham Palace Hotel, he was stopped by the staff.
"Sorry, sir, please show your membership card."
Bradlety Ye's clothes, totaling less than 200 yuan, made him stand out starkly against the well-dressed, affluent guests.
Bradlety Ye quickly said, "I want to speak with your customer manager about booking the venue."
They coldly replied, "Sorry, you can't enter without a membership card."
Bradlety Ye suggested, "Can I apply for a membership card now?"
They shook their heads, "Sorry, memberships require a qualified referral."
Frustrated, Bradlety Ye suddenly remembered a college classmate, Delune Bi, who worked at the hotel.
He immediately called her, and after explaining his situation, Delune Bi said, "Leave it to me, I'll come over right now!"
Bradlety Ye thanked her, appreciating their bond from their year together in college.
Soon after, a woman's exclamation came from inside the hotel.
Looking up, Bradlety Ye saw a woman in an OL outfit, heavily made-up and flamboyant, emerging from the hotel.
Delune Bi? She had changed so much he almost didn't recognize her!
Seeing the flamboyant lady, the two security guards hurriedly bowed respectfully, addressing her as "Group Leader Bi."
Bradlety Ye was surprised, "Delune Bi, you've become a group leader at the Buckingham Palace Hotel in just a few years, impressive!"
Delune Bi modestly replied, "You're too kind. I'm just a small group leader in the HR department, a mid-low level leader here."
Bradlety Ye admired, "That's still amazing. I heard the management at the Buckingham Palace Hotel has high standards."
Delune Bi smiled smugly, then turned coldly to the guards, "Were you two the ones who stopped my college class leader at the door?"
The guards looked at each other, and one hurriedly explained, "Sorry, Group Leader Bi, I didn't know he was your classmate. He doesn't have a membership card, and I was just following the hotel's rules..."
Delune Bi scoffed, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Don't you understand that?"
Bradlety Ye thought Delune Bi was going to punish them and quickly intervened, "Delune Bi, don't be hard on them. They were just following rules."
Delune Bi looked at Bradlety Ye and suddenly burst into laughter, revealing a mocking tone, "Bradlety Ye, you think too highly of yourself. Did you really think I'd trouble my subordinates for you?"
Bradlety Ye frowned, "What do you mean, Delune Bi?"
"What do I mean?" Delune Bi sneered, "Isn't it obvious? You think someone like you, a loser, can enter the Buckingham Palace Hotel? Forget about it, not in this lifetime!"
Angered, Bradlety Ye clenched his fists, demanding, "What are you trying to say?"
"I'm just teasing you!" Delune Bi laughed uncontrollably, "I never liked you in college. A loser who only knew how to study, couldn't even afford a meat dish in the cafeteria, and yet you were our class leader? Criticizing my grades? Pathetic! Look at yourself!"
Bradlety Ye's face darkened, "Delune Bi, I never provoked you. Why do you keep mocking me?"
