The Peninsula Hotel's sea-view restaurant offers a variety of cuisines and views of Victoria Harbour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that the face on each round dining chair makes Bao Wenxian and Wang Danfeng feel that this design is too weird.

But Mi Shasha covered her mouth and let out a suppressed scream after she found out, holding Li Xueyao's arm and going crazy with excitement.

Li Xueyao also thought that these faces on the dining chair were interesting, but she still pressed Mishasha tightly and lowered her voice to remind. "Reserved, reserved! you're going to be a lady!"

Mishasha's face instantly became bitter. "Yaoyao, I'm sure I don't have the possibility of being a lady, I don't think I'm sorry for the designer when I see these faces, it's so cute......"

Xi Mengmeng, who came with Fu Zhengyi, saw that they had all arrived, but she walked up to Mishasha and laughed. "Wow, our hero has arrived, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was talking to him about something......"

was called so by her at the airport, Mishasha's temperament was embarrassed even if it was rough, but seeing Xi Mengmeng's well-fitting cheongsam not only made her curves uneven, but still had a sense of distance that made people dare not get close to him, she looked down at the airport on her chest and was a little frustrated, but she still pouted deliberately. "Sister Mengmeng, don't say that, I'll be proud......"

Although facing Mishasha and Kexi Mengmeng's eyes fell on Li Xueyao, who was holding her arm, she was both curious and a little jealous of this little girl, so she took Mishasha's arm and laughed. "It's okay! You should not only be proud, but you can also be arrogant! You should face everything with such an attitude! Don't be afraid, you are the protagonist of the awards party...... "

Enjoying the sea view and enjoying the food, the hearty lunch soothed the emotions of the two mother and daughter.

And when a foreigner wearing a red kitchen towel and a white chef's hat brought the dessert, but he didn't leave after introducing the name like the waiters before, Xi Mengmeng stood up in surprise after being stunned. "Oh my God, you're not going to be the executive chef here, are you?"

The old man nodded, stroked his chest, and asked. "Welcome to The Peninsula, I wonder if this meal will satisfy you?"

Mishasha, who was the fastest, had already tasted the dessert, and when she heard this, she gave the old man a thumbs up. "It's delicious! It's the best meal I've ever had......"

"Thank you!" 'Delicious' is the highest praise for the chef, if you need anything, please command!"

Mishasha raised her hand. "Can you take a tour of your kitchen?"

The old man hesitated, then smiled and raised his hand. "No problem! please come with me......"

"yes, you can visit the back kitchen!" Mishasha screamed excitedly as she grabbed her camera from her bag. "Yaoyao! hurry up......"

Li Xueyao saw that her mother was glaring and shaking her head, but she only dispelled the idea of going together. "Forget it, you better go, I'm not interested in going to the kitchen......"

"Go, go, go, this is the kitchen of a five-star hotel, have you forgotten the scenes from those movies you watched before?"

"No, I'm not interested in the kitchen, it's oily, it smells of smoke, it's choking......"

Baring her teeth at her in disdain, Mishasha dragged her mother and followed the old man to the back kitchen.

Xi Mengmeng saw that Li Xueyao seemed to be a little resentful of her mother's stopping, tasted the dessert, narrowed her eyes, and said to Fu Zheng. "By the way, why did you choose to live here? It's a bit far from the award venue......

Fu Zhengyi glanced at the mother and daughter who were angry, and said with a smile. "Can you see the moonlight in your room?"

Xi Mengmeng was stunned, racking her brains and not knowing what this sentence meant.

"Is this sentence in Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in a Fallen City"?

Li Xueyao's timid response not only stunned Xi Mengmeng, but even her mother Bao Wenxian was stunned.

Fu Zhengyi turned to Li Xueyao. "When did you read this book?"

"Hmm...... I guess last summer......"

"If you have a chance, you can look for the old movie "Love in a Fallen City" and watch it again, and the filming in the movie was done in this hotel. It is precisely because of this film that the Peninsula Hotel is famous and loved by people, and the novel "Love in a Fallen City" by Zhang Ailing can be said to have benefited The Peninsula Hotel a lot, especially "I always want to see the moonlight in your room", which has become the most romantic unofficial advertising slogan of The Peninsula Hotel......"

Xi Mengmeng's face was shocked. "Wow, pay justice, you can know this kind of thing?"

Sensing that Li Xueyao's face was a little red, Fu Zhengyi turned to Bao Wenxian. "Auntie, did you notice the hotel doorman when you entered the hotel gate before?"

"Oh, yes! I wondered if the doorman was supposed to be a child, or some teenager, and why was the doorman so old?"

"Clark Gable, who played the leading role in "Gone with the Wind", once settled in the Peninsula Hotel, he once again wanted to drink cocktails, but he didn't have the tools to mix, so he asked the doorman to provide him with a screwdriver, this kind of nonsensical request, the doorman could have refused, but the doorman really found a clean screwdriver for Gable, so Gable rolled up his sleeves and showed the doorman 'how to make a cocktail with a screwdriver', so the Peninsula Hotel has since added a bar called ' Screwdriver's cocktail up ......"

Bao Wenxian was shocked. "Oh yes, that's a great service......

"The doorman who got the screwdriver for Gable is Johnny, he is one of the most respected porters of The Peninsula, it is said that he served as the porter of the Peninsula Hotel at the age of 12 until his retirement, and the service time is more than 50 years, which has also made the 'doorman' service the biggest feature of the Peninsula......

Xi Mengmeng was completely stunned. "How do you know so much?"

"Because I like Eileen Chang's novels, I will read the book "Love in a Fallen City", because I have read the book "Love in a Fallen City", it is impossible not to know the history of The Peninsula, and because I know the history of the Peninsula Hotel, I will naturally have a strong interest in the present of the Peninsula Hotel......

Three consecutive 'because' and 'so' made Xi Mengmeng's face admire, and Li Xueyao's eyes also lit up, with both surprise and exploration in her expression, which made Fu Zhengyi breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that if the information she inquired yesterday couldn't arouse her interest, then she would really cry and faint in the toilet......

The inexplicable atmosphere spread on the dining table, and Bao Wenxian, who felt something, woke up. "Yaoyao, why did you start reading Zhang Ailing's book last year? Didn't your father say that you could only touch her book when you went to college?"

"Feudal!"

"How can you say that about your father? He is not here for your good? If you have time to read more books and listen to more tapes, you must pass the level of speaking, whether you go out to study abroad or not, you must be good in speaking......"

Bao Wenxian's nagging, angry Li Xueyao leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the Victoria Harbour outside the window, the yachts and sailboats on the blue sea made the corners of her lips gradually raise and her expression softened.

had long noticed Fu Zhengyi's restraint and caution in the face of this little girl, Xi Mengmeng's heart was very uncomfortable, and seeing that the atmosphere at the table was suddenly a little dull, she leaned over and asked Li Xueyao. "By the way, do you know how to swim?"

"Uh...... Not very good at ......"

"What about Sasha?"

"She's a good swimmer......

"Are you interested in getting on a yacht and going to sea?"

Li Xueyao was finally a little stunned, raised her hand and pointed to a small yacht on the sea and asked. "Yes, did you go to sea on a yacht like that?"

Following the direction of her finger, Xi Mengmeng smiled when she saw that it was a small yacht. "No, no, no, it's too small, usually only a yacht over sixty feet is considered a superyacht, and this one you're referring to is a recreational yacht that can only accommodate three or five people......"

"How did you come to the idea of a yacht?"

Fu Zhengyi's question made Xi Mengmeng turn her face and couldn't help but glance at him. "Please, I'm the head of the foundation, all I need on weekdays is to study how to deal with the rich, Ms. Xiao Fangfang told me at the beginning that I must be proficient in these things in order to find common ground with the rich who are willing to pay for it......

"So how much money have you received through these personal 'efforts' so far?"

Xi Mengmeng rolled her eyes dissatisfied. "Don't mess me up like this! The Foundation has only been established for a short time, and I haven't had much contact with the rich people here, but I have gone to the Jockey Club with some people and played golf twice, but the results are really not great......

"Most of the donations that Ms. Xiao Fangfang's seedling fund can receive every year are from Hong Kong stars, and I don't think there is much need to take the initiative to go out to seek donations at present, and if you do what you have at hand first, you will naturally be able to operate," said Fu Zhengyi and saw that Li Xueyao was also listening carefully, and hesitated before continuing. "Also, don't be wronged! Your task is to review and investigate, and it is already very hard to do a good job, and there is no need to deal with those rich people with bad intentions who hope to achieve their goals by donating......"

Xi Mengmeng couldn't help but have a bitter face. "Please! It won't work out of the mountains and mountains! It will take years for the tree planting and sand fixation project to see results, and you think I'm willing to deal with those guys who are full of brains......
