OFR – Chapter 271 Luxurious Birthday Party

At this moment, even the high-end clientele coming and going in the hotel were visibly surprised by the top-tier, most prestigious reception being held.

After all, apart from the last time when Chen Yunzhi, Nanjing’s richest man, had visited, the Oasis International Hotel had never gone to such extravagant lengths again.

Now, with over a hundred professionally trained etiquette hostesses welcoming guests at the entrance, it was clear just how much importance the Oasis International Hotel placed on this visitor.

A few minutes later, under the personal welcome of the lobby manager, Mu Bai and his group entered the Oasis International Hotel.

It seemed Yun Xiaokun had already informed the lobby manager of Mu Bai’s identity—someone whose status and wealth ranking surpassed even Mr. Pulvin, the chief representative of the Anglo Financial Group in China.

As a result, throughout the reception, the lobby manager spoke with great deference, almost obsequiously, saying, “Mr. Leng, we sincerely apologize. Mr. Pulvin is away from the hotel today. Otherwise, he would’ve definitely welcomed you in person. If there’s anything unsatisfactory in our reception, please let us know. We will do our best to improve.”

He was, indeed, showing deference to the point of flattery.

But in the face of this young man—who, despite having only recently burst onto the scene, had stirred up waves in Nanjing and whose background remained a mystery—the manager didn’t dare show even a hint of disrespect.

He knew very well that if he were to anger this young man, the consequences would be far beyond what a small hotel manager like him could bear. Even Mr. Pulvin himself would likely have to pay a price for any offense.

So he had to be extremely cautious.

After respectfully finishing his statement, the young man in front of him calmly nodded and said, “It’s fine. The level of reception you’ve arranged is already beyond my expectations. I have no complaints. Also, could I trouble you to arrange the top floor’s best private room? We’ll head up now.”

“Yes, certainly, Mr. Leng. There are several themed rooms on the top floor. May I ask what the occasion is for your visit this time?”

“It’s a friend’s twentieth birthday. A birthday-themed room will do.”

“Understood. However, sir, would you like some top-tier entertainers to liven up the atmosphere? Recently, we’ve recruited a group of popular influencers from Douyin, Kuaishou, Huoshan, and Xigua, along with some C- and D-list celebrities from entertainment companies. Some of them have even appeared in popular dramas and films in recent years. Would you…”

What the manager said was meant kindly.

After all, wealthy people often liked to hire celebrities or influencers with lots of followers to elevate the prestige of their events. It was common practice—just like how some internet-famous weddings or birthday parties invited many stars to make a splash.

For instance, when the eldest son of Qianda Real Estate Group had his birthday, he booked an entire hotel floor and invited over a hundred popular streamers and young models, causing a sensation online.

But now, after hearing the well-intentioned suggestion, Mu Bai and those behind him—Zhou Xiaoyu, Mu Xiaoxiao, Liu Feier—couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Because in terms of prestige or atmosphere, no influencer or celebrity could compare to the likes of Mu Xiaoxiao, Zhou Xiaoyu, and Liu Feier—the most popular goddesses of the entertainment industry.

If word got out that five of the nation’s top female celebrities were all gathered at the Oasis International Hotel, it wouldn’t just attract fans from out of town—fans from all over Nanjing alone would likely surround the hotel completely.

With that thought, Mu Bai smiled and shook his head, then gently told the lobby manager, “Heh, no need for that. Thank you.”

“Of course, no problem at all, Mr. Leng. As it happens, the birthday-themed room is available today. Please follow me.”

The lobby manager showed no change in expression at the young man’s refusal, maintaining his respectful demeanor.

Of course, he hadn’t recognized the goddesses of the entertainment world standing behind Mu Bai. Had he realized, he wouldn’t have made such a laughable suggestion.

Soon, just a few minutes later, he led Mu Bai and the others into the top-floor private room.

As a super six-star hotel, the top-floor private suites of the Oasis International Hotel were among the most luxurious in the world.

Once inside, the group each found a comfortable seat, chatting while beginning to order drinks and dishes for the birthday celebration.

Since it was Mu Xiaoxiao’s 20th birthday—and Zhou Xiaoyu, Liu Feier, and the others were celebrities with annual incomes in the hundreds of millions—they didn’t care about the cost, only ordering the finest options available.

During this time, Mu Bai glanced at the wine list handed to him by the manager.

He casually ordered a few famous, delicious, and extremely expensive wines with low alcohol content, such as:

• A limited edition Louis XIII Cognac worth over 2 million RMB
• Romanée-Conti priced at $300,000 USD
• The world-renowned Haig Clubman
• Chambolle-Musigny, and more

The sight of these astronomically priced drinks caused the manager—despite his mental preparation—to tremble inwardly.

He had never imagined meeting a young man who could spend money so effortlessly, so casually.

Indeed, in his decade-long hotel career, this was his first—and likely last—time encountering someone like this.

Even when Nanjing’s wealthiest man Chen Yunzhi visited, he had only ordered two bottles of wine totaling about 5 million RMB.

That dinner had cost roughly 8 million RMB and was already considered the most extravagant private dinner in the hotel’s history.

But now, just the few wines this boy had ordered already totaled over 15 million RMB—surpassing even Chen Yunzhi’s legendary dinner and setting a new record for the Oasis International Hotel’s most expensive private gathering.

And the spending hadn’t even stopped yet.

Mu Bai then picked up the birthday cake menu, browsed for a moment, and turned to ask, “Princess’s Romance? This cake is ranked first—what’s special about it?”

“Sir,” the lobby manager’s tone became excited, “many years ago, Prince William of the British Royal Family had this cake specially made for his beloved princess. It was later named ‘Princess’s Romance’ by the Anglo Financial Group. Aside from those flashy diamond-encrusted cakes, this is the most expensive and delicious cake in existence—priced at 1.6 million USD. But because of its high cost, no one has ever ordered it. In fact, the only place in the world currently capable of making it is right here at the Oasis International Hotel, and its original production team is part of our hotel staff…”

Clearly, upon hearing that the young man showed interest in the “Princess’s Romance” cake, the manager was visibly thrilled.

He had a strong hunch—perhaps tonight, he would finally witness this legendary cake reappear in the world.
