Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 479 The lady at the front desk was a little embarrassed
Seeing this, the front desk lady was a little embarrassed and said, "I need to ask the manager for instructions, please wait a moment."

After a while, a man in a formal suit came over and said, "Mr. Lin, I am the manager here. I apologize for the problems you encountered. Today, due to special reasons, some customers need to adjust their room types."

"Special reasons?" Lin Ke interrupted him, "Could it be that there are 'special reasons' hidden under the merchant's claims of integrity to deceive consumers and attract clicks?"

The manager's face turned ugly, "We never meant this! It's just..."

"Just what?!" Lin Ke raised his voice. "How can we call it five-star service if we can't even provide basic integrity?"

Other guests around began to pay attention to the movement here.

Lin Ke's brows furrowed, and his voice echoed in the hotel lobby, attracting more and more curious eyes. Faced with the manager's explanation and apology, Lin Ke did not calm down.

"Special reason? Is this what you call five-star service?" Lin Ke smiled sarcastically, "I think it's a five-star fraud!"

The manager's face became even more ugly. He tried to comfort him: "Mr. Lin, please calm down. We can provide you with other compensation -"

"Compensation? What I need is not compensation, but the respect and commitment I deserve!" Lin Ke interrupted him, his voice gradually rising.

At this time, the front desk lady quickly walked up to the manager and whispered a few words in his ear. After the manager nodded, the front desk lady turned around and gestured to the security guard.

Two uniformed security guards quickly walked over and stood in front of Lin Ke. "Sir, please come with us." One of the security guards said.

Lin Ke frowned, "Why? I'm just asking for my rights."

"Sir, your loud noise here has affected other guests." Another security guard said and tried to grab Lin Ke's arm.

Lin Ke broke away and said, "Don't touch me! What kind of service is this? You are obviously cheating!"

The security guards moved resolutely and surrounded Lin Ke. The atmosphere in the lobby is so tense that you can almost touch it with your hands.

"I want to see the manager! I want to see him now!" Lin Ke's voice was high-pitched, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes.

The manager walked over with a gloomy face, trying to remain calm in the face of the angry Lin Ke. "Mr. Lin, please understand our difficulty. This is due to instructions from superiors and is not our intention."

"The difficulty? Do you treat your guests as fools?" Lin Ke almost shouted, "I want you to admit your mistakes and give a reasonable explanation!"

The manager waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, please leave. If you continue to disrupt order, we can only ask the police to intervene."

Onlookers around began whispering, and some took out their mobile phones to record the scene. There was a sense of anticipation in the air, like watching a play. Lin Ke took a deep breath, his eyes blazing. "Okay! I'm leaving! But all netizens will know what happened today." He waved his arms and his voice was loud and firm.

The security guards exchanged glances with each other and slowly backed away. Lin Ke strode out of the hotel lobby without looking back, stopped at the door, turned around and shouted inside: "Remember my name - Lin Ke! This name will make you regret what you did today!"

The sun was shining brightly outside. Lin Ke waved for a taxi and reported the address of another hotel to the driver. The scenery outside the car window receded quickly, but his heart never calmed down.

When I first entered the lobby of the new hotel, it was indeed very different from the previous one. The waiters here had smiles and respectful attitudes, and I clearly felt that they were respected and valued.
"Welcome, do you need any help?" the receptionist asked gently.

"Book a sea view room." Lin Ke nodded slightly. Although his heart was still a little heavy, at least this reception gave him some relief.
The new environment brought a new mood. After setting up his luggage, he stood in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the boundless ocean. The sea breeze gently moved the curtains, bringing some coolness and freedom.
"From extras to red stars," Lin Ke said to himself, "every step is not easy." Looking at the rough waves in the distance seemed to cheer him up.
At this moment, the phone vibrated - it was a notification that tens of thousands of followers had been added on social networks. Obviously, today's incident has become the focus of conversation.
Lin Ke sat in the sea view room of the new hotel, tapping his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop. His brows were furrowed, his eyes burning like flames, and he typed out the infuriating truths word by word.

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Ke. Today I am going to reveal an unfortunate truth - about the fraud of a so-called five-star hotel in China." Lin Ke started the live broadcast, and thousands of fans quickly poured in in front of the screen.

"This hotel uses false advertising to induce consumers! They promise that deluxe sea view rooms are actually ordinary rooms! When you question, they will threaten you!" Lin Ke's tone was passionate, and every word was like a bullet being thrown.

The screen shows several comparison pictures - the spacious, bright, luxuriously decorated room on the booking page and the small, old room with no sea view that was actually obtained. The difference was so large that netizens posted angry comments.

"That's too much!" "We trust you, Brother Lin!"

Later, more victims shared their similar experiences in the comment area. “I was cheated too!” “Same experience, I never want to go back after staying in this hotel.”

Lin Ke looked at the scrolling updates on the screen, "Look! Is this their so-called high-standard service? It's all lies! Now, please help forward this Weibo. Let more people know the truth, and don't let anyone else be fooled. Deceived."

Network effects explode quickly. It was retweeted tens of thousands of times on Weibo and attracted attention and discussion among users on other social platforms. Soon, the incident became a hot topic online and even made headlines.

In the next few days, the five-star hotel's passenger traffic dropped sharply, and its online rating dropped to freezing point. Tourists who were originally waiting in line to check in canceled their reservations and chose other accommodations with better reputations.

Lin Ke sat on the balcony of the new hotel, holding a glass of iced lemonade in his hand, with the boundless sea view in front of him. The phone suddenly vibrated and displayed an unknown number.

"Hello?" Lin Ke answered the phone.

A male voice came from the other end of the phone, with obvious nervousness and hesitation, "Mr. Lin, I am Wang Hao, the manager of the five-star hotel in Huaxia. We are deeply sorry for the unpleasant experience you had before..."

"Oh? Did you think of apologizing now?" Lin Ke's tone was cold, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Wang Hao coughed, "Yes, we did not handle it well enough. As for the content you posted on the Internet...can you please take it down? We are willing to compensate for this."
