Chapter 9 Elevators
The waiter walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. The two suitcases lie side by side, the one on the left is small and the one on the right is heavy.
The waiter stretched out his left hand and put it on the handle of the suitcase on the left, with a little force, his arm trembled, and the suitcase moved slightly, "Oh?", the waiter frowned slightly, clenched the handle, and put the small suitcase firmly on the ground with force.
Then, he glanced at the heavy suitcase next to him, stretched out his hands, each held a handle, bit his lip tightly, and with a hard effort, the suitcase was suddenly lifted into the air, "Huh?", the waiter's eyes flashed, and the suitcase was gently placed on the ground.
The waiter closed the trunk door and the car asked, "Please make sure you have reached your destination safely and have taken all your belongings." ”
"Confirmed. Xiaolan said.
"Thank you again for choosing CZ's services and have a great trip. The car slowly drove out of the parking area, into the main road, accelerated, and gradually disappeared from the sight of the three.
"Let's go, go to the front desk", said, Xiaolan walked at the front of the group of three, the waiter pushed the suitcase one by one, walked behind Xiaolan, and Mo Yuan walked last.
-
"Miss Tang, hello, thank you for staying in our hotel, I am very happy to inform you that as our 50,000th guest who has completed the check-in procedures, you can upgrade from the standard room to the presidential suite for free, I don't know if you are willing to upgrade?" The front desk staff showed a standard professional smile and introduced to Xiaolan with a little excitement, "Our free upgrade service can only be enjoyed by every 10,000th guest who completes the check-in procedure, you are really lucky." ”
"Wow, Professor Xun, did you hear that?" Xiaolan turned to Mo Yuan who was standing at the end and shouted, her eyes full of joy and excitement.
"I heard it, I heard it, as a scientist, shouldn't I be so excited about this kind of probability event", Mo Yuan looked indifferent, "Your eyes are so big that they are almost catching up with the new screen we are developing, and you can stuff the keyboard in your mouth." ”
"Yes, yes", Xiaolan turned to the front desk staff and said, "Well, naturally I am willing to upgrade." Are there any additional restrictions, though?"
"No, then this will upgrade your room service?"
"Okay, thank you. ”
"Your formalities have been completed, please follow the service staff to your room and wish you a pleasant stay here. The front desk staff said politely and gestured in the direction of the waiter.
"Thank you. Xiaolan responded.
"Then please come with me. It was still the familiar unusually low and hoarse voice.
"Good. ”
In the group, the waiter led the way in front, Xiaolan followed, and Mo Yuan walked slowly at the end, observing the hall casually.
"We will now head to the elevator area," explains the waiter, "and since you are staying in the Presidential Suite, you are welcome to take the elevator that we have specially prepared for our valued guests – which leads to the ultra-luxury hotel area on the 145th floor." ”
"Great, I'm very tired from the red-eye flight, if I have to take two or three elevators to transfer", Mo Yuan sighed, "That's really a disaster for my old arms and legs." ”
"Professor, you're only thirty-five years old, very young. Xiaolan turned back to Mo Yuan as she walked.
"Well, hopefully, I won't be a forty-five-year-old professor in the future. ”
"No, you will always be a thirty-five-year-old professor," Xiaolan said, "and if you keep a good attitude, you will always be young." ”
"Oh, eternal youth is something that you women think about. ”
"Also, if it were to be the future and achieve eternal youth, it must be the result of a female scientist. ”
"Not necessarily...... Many of women's demands are fulfilled by men. Mo Yuan said casually.
"However, as far as I am concerned, whether the guests are male or female, I will do my best to meet their demands," said the waiter who led the way in front of him, extending his right hand and signaling to turn right with him.
"Do you have any brothers?" Xiaolan asked.
"Brother, are you still struggling with the man who looks like me? I don't have a brother. If I had the chance, I would have liked to meet him, it would have been interesting, if he didn't dislike my job, he was just a hotel waiter. ”
"If it's just a similar appearance, I won't easily admit it," Xiaolan said with a smile, "Your characteristic voice is the key." ”
"I see, did he have any lung wounds?" asked the waiter.
"I don't know. ”
The three of them continued to walk for a while, and four elevators appeared in front of them, numbered 8X1 to 8X4.
The waiter pressed the button of the elevator, and after a while, the door of 8X2 opened, which was a 270-degree viewing elevator, almost all composed of large transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, and the dawn of the early morning, unscrupulously through the glass, sprinkled all over the car.
"Please", the waiter stood on the left side of the door, bowed slightly, and spread his left arm.
Xiaolan Mo Yuan entered the elevator, and the waiter then also entered the elevator, and when the elevator door closed, the waiter said: "This sightseeing elevator can reach a speed of 27 meters per second, and it will reach the 145th floor of 719 meters high in 27 seconds......
"This elevator is fast enough, ranking ...... in the world," Xiaolan asked.
"No. ...... in the world"
Mo Yuan didn't care about this, he looked outside through the glass, the scene in front of him flew down, became smaller, and the whole horizon suddenly broadened, looking around, it was the center of the bustling city, the sparkling river meandered through it, the voices of Xiaolan and the waiter were blurred, and gradually faded away, Mo Yuan rubbed his ears, and just wanted to say "Tinnitus is really a bit serious", the figure on the glass caught his attention.
There was no Xiaolan, there was no waiter, there was a woman standing next to him, he couldn't name it, but he knew that he knew her, the kind he was very familiar with, and he didn't seem to know it at all, next to the two of them, there was still a man and a woman, and near the elevator door, there was also a man dressed in formal clothes.
"The living room on the top floor is located on the one hundred and twenty-first floor, with a height of six hundred and twenty meters, and if you feel tinnitus during the elevator climb, you can try this pill. The formally dressed man said, taking out a small jar, "Put it in your mouth, it will immediately relieve the discomfort caused by the difference in air pressure." "Everyone took a pill, and Mo Yuan didn't move.
Everyone suddenly turned to him, their eyes widened, "You, don't you eat?" saliva kept spilling from their mouths, "You, really don't eat?"
"Take one, it works great, and there are no side effects. The formally dressed man squinted and smiled.
"Eat. "Eat. "Eat. ”
Outside the window, the dawn is long gone, the boundless night has come down at some point, the starry neon spreads all over the city, and the stars in the night sky, reflecting each other, and the cold moonlight, familiar and strange.
