Chapter 27 The First Arrival on Hong Kong Island
At Hong Kong Island International Airport, a plane from the mainland slowly stopped on the tarmac, and before the door was opened, Xiao Yu and Su Qing couldn't wait to take their luggage and prepare to get off the plane.
Although Xiao Yu had heard Su Qing introduce modern planes before, the first time he really got on the plane and flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, it still made Xiao Yu exclaim.
Think about your own era, even if you are a good person, you can only fly the eaves and walk the wall, even if the horse is very good, it can only travel thousands of miles a day, but now such a behemoth can soar above the nine heavens, fly higher than the goshawk, and fly farther than the migratory bird, which makes a martial arts master like Xiao Yu, who was originally equipped with unique skills and proud of the Quartet, have a sense of insignificance and inferiority.
Although Su Qing likes to travel and is well-informed, it is the first time she has come to Hong Kong Island, and she is also novel in the face of everything around her.
As soon as the two of them walked to the exit of the airport, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes greeted them and asked politely, "May I ask the two of you, Mr. Xiao and Miss Su from Shencheng?"
"We are. Who are you?"
"Hello and welcome to Hong Kong Island. My lord is a friend of Mr. Xiao, and he specially ordered me to welcome you. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took the initiative to take the suitcase in Xiao Yu's hand very politely, and took Xiao Yu and Su Qing to a Land Rover off-road vehicle in the airport parking lot.
On the way, Xiao Yu and Su Qing learned that the middle-aged man's name was Ah Zhong, and the old man's surname in his mouth was Sun, which should be his friend on Hong Kong Island as Old Man Xiao said. From Ah Zhong's respectful attitude and the luxurious decoration in the car, it can be seen that this old man Sun must be very rich and has a very high status, which made Xiao Yu and Su Qing curious about the identity of Old Man Xiao for the first time.
When the Land Rover drove to a five-star hotel on the edge of Victoria Harbour and stopped, Su Qing knew that the accommodation price of this hotel must be expensive, even if she had never been to Hong Kong Island again.
Su Qing thought about it and felt that it was better to make some things clear first, so she said to Ah Zhong: "Mr. Ah Zhong doesn't have to be so polite, in fact, you can take us to the city, we have already booked a place to stay, so we won't trouble you." β
Ah Zhong smiled and said: "Miss Su, please rest assured, my master has explained that Mr. Xiao and Miss Su can come to Hong Kong Island to play, that is his great face, all the expenses such as your accommodation and meals here are recorded in his name, the two of you just have to have a good time." β
"We don't know Mr. Sun, how can we be embarrassed?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, the relationship between my lord and Mr. Xiao is not ordinary, my lord said that Mr. Xiao's friend is his friend. Please don't brush off his old man's kindness. β
Xiao Yu and Su Qing looked at each other, an old man who was so poor that he needed to sleep in a bridge cave actually had friends who were so close and so rich, and the two couldn't help but have more questions about Old Man Xiao's identity and origin.
"If you come, you will be safe. Xiao Yu signaled that Su Qing didn't have to insist anymore, just follow Ah Zhong's arrangement. Xiao Yu also wanted to see what was behind this old man Sun and that old man Xiao.
After Ah Zhong completed the check-in procedures for the two, he handed over the room card to Xiao Yu and said respectfully: "The two of you have a tired journey, please rest in the hotel today." If you are interested in the evening, you can take a stroll around, the night view of Victoria Harbour is the most beautiful night view on Hong Kong Island. Meals, there is a buffet in the hotel, all recorded in the room fee, if you want to eat some local snacks, the hotel goes out and turns left a few hundred meters away from a snack street. Tomorrow morning, there will be someone to accompany the two of you for morning tea. β
"Thank you. Su Qing asked tactfully, "I wonder if I will be able to meet Mr. Sun tomorrow?" We hope to thank him in person. β
"I'll convey this to the master," Ah Zhong said, "Please rest assured, the master will meet you sooner or later." β
Seeing that Ah Zhong did not answer his question directly, Su Qing and Xiao Yu glanced at each other helplessly, but they were quickly relieved, after all, the guest is at will, and I believe that Mr. Sun has no ill will towards him at all.
Su Qing and Xiao Yu took the elevator up to the room, only to find that Ah Zhong had booked a suite, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room were facing the most prosperous section of Victoria Harbour, where they could enjoy the most beautiful night view of Hong Kong Island without leaving home.
Fortunately, the embarrassing thing did not happen, there were two bedrooms, but there was a master bedroom that was particularly large, with a particularly large and comfortable bed in the middle, and the other room was not so big.
Su Qing cheered, and naturally ran into the master bedroom and jumped on the big bed. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, and after bringing in all the luggage at the door and putting it away, he entered the guest room.
β¦β¦
The next morning, Su Qing opened the curtains and saw the beautiful scenery of the entire Victoria Harbour under the morning sun. The rows of high-rise buildings, the clear and bright coastline, and the clear blue water give off a different style from the night when the sun shines on it. Coupled with the sound of the steamer's whistle in the distance, it reflects the bustle and prosperity of this beautiful harbor.
"It's so beautiful!" Su Qing couldn't help but praise. Even though Shencheng, where she is located, is the most dazzling and fastest-growing metropolis in the Orient, she cannot deny that Hong Kong Island is more prosperous and open, and deserves to be known as the "Pearl of the Orient".
When Su Qing was still indulging in the beautiful morning light of Victoria Harbour, Xiao Yu had already been meditating on the balcony for a long time. With the completion of a week's luck, Xiao Yu opened his mouth slightly, and a mouthful of Donglai purple qi with the essence of the sun and moon was swallowed into the dantian. Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked extremely satisfied. The air here is very good, which is perfect for practice.
Just as Xiao Yu and Su Qing finished washing up and were thinking about where to try Hong Kong-style morning tea, Ah Zhong's phone call came in. Ah Zhong had already arrived downstairs in the lobby, and it was said that there was also a nephew of Mr. Sun's son and nephew who came to accompany them for morning tea.
When the two came to the lobby of the hotel, they saw Ah Zhong standing respectfully with his hands down from a distance, and whispered something to a young woman in casual clothes next to him, and the young woman quickly greeted him, smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "I heard that you are friends of Uncle Sun, welcome to Hong Kong Island!"
Su Qing and Xiao Yu shook hands with the young woman, and Su Qing said with a smile: "This time we came to Hong Kong Island for a vacation, Mr. Sun was really flattered by such warm hospitality. My name is Su Qing," he pointed to the side again, "His name is Xiao Yu." β
Xiao Yu greeted politely, but secretly looked at the woman in front of her.
This woman is not very old, she looks like she is in her early twenties, she has short hair, and she looks very energetic and generous. Delicate facial features, a little powder, beautiful appearance with a hint of arrogance, makes people feel a sense of brightness. Although she wears casual clothes, she still can't hide her shrewd and capable working woman's demeanor. But with Xiao Yu's keen eyes, she noticed that there was a state of exhaustion between her eyebrows.
The young woman smiled slightly: "My name is Xiao Rubing, I will accompany you to have a good time on Hong Kong Island these days, I hope I am a competent guide." β
"Oh, you are also surnamed Xiao, it seems that the surname Xiao is quite common. Xiao Yu had a playful look on his face.
"Yes, that also means that we are indeed destined!" Xiao Rubing said with a smile, "I booked the most authentic tea restaurant in Hong Kong, and I chatted while eating for a while." As he spoke, he walked out of the hotel with a few people, Ah Zhong had already driven a Land Rover off-road vehicle and parked at the gate, and a few people got into the car and drove to the tea restaurant.
Hong Kong Island's morning tea is very famous, many tourists from other places often queue for hours, just want to taste the authentic Hong Kong-style morning tea, some people will even make an appointment with three or five friends, spend the whole day in the tea restaurant, chat, eat snacks, it is also a great joy in life. Of course, Xiao Yu and Su Qing have heard of it for a long time, and they are very much looking forward to experiencing the morning tea culture on Hong Kong Island.
However, for this woman named Xiao Rubing, the two of them were also full of question marks. After all, a discerning person can see at a glance that this woman has an extraordinary temperament, and she can feel her dignity in every move.
Xiao Rubing was actually very confused. A few days ago, her father called her to tell her to put down all the work in her hand for the time being, and entertain these two guests from Shencheng in the name of Steward Sun's nephew, and repeatedly instructed her not to reveal her true identity for the time being, especially Xiao Tengfei's identity.
Xiao Rubing didn't know what medicine was sold in his father's gourd. In recent years, her father, as the chairman of the group, has slowly faded out of the daily management of the group, and she, as the only daughter of the chairman and one of the vice presidents of the group, is under greater pressure than ordinary people.
In the past two years, the company has not been as united and stable as before, and there always seems to be an undercurrent surging. Her two cousins, who are also company executives, have been secretly vying for power, all of which has left her physically and mentally exhausted.
At this moment, her father asked her to put down her work first and accompany two strangers who were visiting Hong Kong Island for the first time, and she really couldn't guess his father's intentions.
Could it be that these two young people have any special identity or background? If so, the father should also say hello to him first. Xiao Rubing was puzzled, but she still chose to trust her father unconditionally, and for the time being, she would touch the details of the two young people first.
After a while, the car stopped at the door of a tea restaurant, and several people got out of the car, and Xiao Yu and Su Qing noticed the tea restaurant in front of them. The narrow faΓ§ade is inconspicuous in the middle of the city, and it does not have the grandeur of the most authentic restaurant on Hong Kong Island as they expected, only the four dark red characters "Jin Yuen Restaurant" on the plaque hint at the restaurant's long history.
