Chapter 145: West Lake Hotel

About 35 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a double-story tiled roof building in the style of a Jiangnan courtyard.

Assistant Hong hurriedly got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Lucy, while Xu Xincheng also quickly got out of the car and politely opened the door for Angela.

Angela gave him an appreciative look, nodded her head, and thanked him, "Steve, thank you!"

Assistant Hong and a hotel bellman rushed over to take the suitcase out of the trunk and put it on the luggage trolley, and then he quickly returned to the car and drove the car to the parking lot.

On either side of the entrance of the West Lake Hotel, two lush welcome pines welcome the three of them through the circular arch-shaped hotel gate, through a corridor full of Chinese classical atmosphere, to a very chic hotel lobby.

The lobby is about 15 meters high, 30 meters long and wide, with a brown solid wood structure, antique and at the same time quite stylish and chic, this unique combination of Chinese and Western, ancient and modern architectural style is refreshing and impressive.

The most impressive is the dragon-shaped crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the lobby, only to see a crystal dragon falling from the sky, spiraling down from the roof, the body length of the dragon is about 20 meters, the widest part of the dragon body is about 0.5 meters, the dragon's head is slightly upturned, the dragon's mouth is slightly open, like a chant, the aura is pressing, in addition to the two big eyeballs are black crystal balls, the other parts of its body are transparent crystal balls with a diameter of only 1.5 cm, under the illumination of the spotlights, the crystal dragon appears crystal clear, shining, lifelike, magnificent.

Last night, before booking a room for Lucy, Xu Xincheng specially inquired and asked her if she needed to book the best presidential suite in the hotel, which was a matter of course, but she said that she didn't need to, she didn't need to live in such a big suite, first, it was a waste, and second, the room was too big and the space would make people uncomfortable.

She said that if there is no special advice, when booking a room, it is enough to book the highest single room, and she has only one request for the room, quiet.

So, he booked a suite for Lucy and specifically asked for the quietest room. And he booked himself the cheapest room, but the so-called cheapest room type here is also a luxury room, which costs about 3200 per night, which is staggeringly expensive.

The three of them checked in at the front desk of the hotel, and the front desk manager checked the computer and learned that Xu Xincheng was a VIP who came to attend the dinner, and specially upgraded the room type for him for free, and upgraded to the Garden View Xuan Suite, he was a little surprised, he remembered that the room price of this room type should be about 4500.

After checking in, Angela accompanied Lucy to her room, while Xu Xincheng was led to his room by the hotel bellman.

The moment the door was opened, a beautiful scene came into view, and he realized that there was a good reason why the prices here were so high.

The rooms are spacious, should be 80 square meters, and the décor is both quaint and incorporating some modern elements.

The whole room is mainly white and brown, white solid wood ceiling, brown solid wood wall, three long strips of satin embroidery hanging side by side on the back wall of the bed, three flower and bird patterns embroidered on satin, every stitch and thread of the embroidery are delicate and exquisite, six emerald green azalea birds rest and play in the flowers blooming with pale red azaleas, they are either leaning on each other, or looking around by branches, or raising their necks and whispering, or flying low and gliding, vivid and lifelike.

There is a very elegant relaxation area in the room, in which there is a set of brown Chinese solid wood sofas, and in the middle is a brown solid wood coffee table, on which a pot of azalea bonsai is placed. Separating the lounge area from the lounge area is a brown Chinese desk with a pot of azaleas on it.

Both pots of azaleas are pale red in color, and their size and color are the same as those in the three satin embroideries on the wall.

Xu Xincheng suddenly felt that the flowers were in the painting, the painting was in the scene, and the people were swimming in the scene and in the painting, and the feeling was very wonderful.

He walked out of the room and walked to the balcony of 10 square meters, the room is on the third floor, overlooking by the railing, a beautiful and colorful garden scenery comes into view, the pavilions in the garden, the small bridge and flowing water, elegant and quiet. Plants such as willows, ginkgo, canna, and pine trees make the garden green and vibrant.

Looking at the railing, you can look over the lush garden, you can see the beautiful scenery of the corner of the West Lake, only to see a stream of winding water, the fine willows are gently slanted, and the blue waves are rippling.

The beautiful scenery in front of him is like a dream, and the unique gardens of Hangzhou and the shore of West Lake are like a super-earthly painting of Tang and Song Dynasty gardens and lakes, which makes him have an urge to write poems. However, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a poem that could more accurately describe his mood at the moment and the beautiful scenery in front of him.

When ancient literati and writers wrote about the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, they either added their feelings of various circumstances at that time, all kinds of sorrow and hatred, or used the West Lake to express their feelings for their home and country, and most of them were sentimental and sad works.

Among the well-known poems, there are really not many people who write about the beautiful scenery and the good mood when they see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. In addition to Su Shi's "the water is shining and the sun is good, and the mountains are empty and rainy." If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. Besides, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of the second famous poem that purely wrote about the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

It seems that the bard can't be chanted. As for endowment, forget it, people are self-aware.

When Xu Xincheng was in middle school and university, he had a very strong interest in Tang and Song poetry, modern poetry and English poetry, and he also tried to write some poems, he wrote some ancient poems and modern poems, and even wrote some English poems, and he once dreamed of becoming a poet. However, he soon realized that he really did not have enough talent and talent to become a poet.

At this moment, looking back on the past, he was not only moved by his enthusiasm back then, but also ashamed of his frivolity, but the so-called "people are not frivolous teenagers", it is normal and even beneficial to be frivolous when he is young.

However, at this time, he has come to his senses, he is no longer frivolous, and he is already self-aware, so let's stop making jokes, let's break off the idea of being a gift, and do something that I am really good at.

So, he walked back to the room from the balcony, walked to the suitcase, opened the box, first took out the suit, shirt, tie, etc. placed inside, hung it in the closet, and then picked up the briefcase, walked to the Chinese solid wood desk in the corner of the room, sat down, took out the laptop from the briefcase, turned on the computer, and began to do what he does best, work.
