Chapter 109: Lin Wei's Elders
The Peninsula Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, on Salisbury Road.
The two vans stopped at the door of the hotel, and Li Huayong and others walked out of the cars. A total of 8 people came over this time, in addition to Li Huayong and other 5 people from the mainland, there were also Lin Wei and two staff members of the "Lin Group" working in the mainland.
Seeing the hotel in front of him, the surprise in Li Huayong's eyes flashed:
"Here, you arranged for us to stay here?"
"Yes. Lin Wei, who was beside him, said with a smile.
And looking at the palatial hotel building in front of them, the other people who were already a little restrained along the way became even more restrained.
Deng Chaoqun is the highest status among several employees of the "Huaxia Construction Association", so he can also be regarded as the nominal leader of this "tour group to Hong Kong". He spoke first:
"Yo, Director Lin, you're so polite! No, no, no, this place is too advanced, or let's change places?" ”
"Mr. Deng, you are really welcome, you have helped us so much in the mainland, and this time we have invited a distinguished guest, you can let us talk about it." ”
When the two of them were politely prevaricating, everyone looked at Li Huayong intentionally or unintentionally. If Deng Chaoqun is the nominal leader, then Li Huayong is the real backbone of everyone. Although he is the youngest and his status is the lowest, but unconsciously, Li Huayong has become the backbone of many people and many things.
Li Huayong was actually secretly surprised in his heart, this is the Peninsula Hotel, the Peninsula Hotel known as the "Far Eastern Lady". It may be an exaggeration to say that it is the best hotel in the world, but if you add "one of them", it is certainly fine. After all, this hotel has been ranked number one in the world's top 10 hotels. In his previous life, although Li Huayong had been to Xiangjiang many times, he had never lived in such a good hotel.
"Mr. Deng, the so-called guests are as they please, since Director Lin is so polite, then we might as well be respectful. ”
"This ....."
Deng Chaoqun pretended to hesitate, the politeness just now was just a necessary procedure, in fact, he also knew in his heart that since the Lin Group had arranged for everyone to live here, it would never be replaced. If this is really replaced, where will you put the face of the wealthy family?
The politeness of the "Lin Group" is not limited to this, when everyone arrives in Xiangjiang, it is already evening, and when everyone is settled, it is already time for dinner. Lin Wei didn't arrange to go to other places to eat, so he settled it at the Peninsula Hotel.
The Peninsula is home to a number of restaurants and bars, and its French cuisine is considered one of the best in Asia. Of course, the more famous thing here is their Lobby Café, which is actually a British habit, and the English afternoon tea served in the lobby of The Peninsula Hotel is very popular, and you can often see many local celebrities here, so it is sure to be crowded on holidays.
Considering the identity of today's guests, Lin Wei did not invite everyone to eat these things, she invited everyone to eat Cantonese food. Led by Lin Wei, the crowd arrived at one of the hotel's small buildings, which is said to specialize in serving exquisite Cantonese cuisine.
"Daddy, Mommy, huh, it turns out that the third uncle is also here....."
Waiting in the restaurant were Lin Yinglong, the chairman of the "Lin Group", and his wife, that is, Lin Wei's father and mother. And the other one who listens to Lin Wei's title should be her third uncle Lin Yingbiao.
To tell the truth, their appearance was a bit of a surprise to Li Huayong. Our Chinese courtesy is still paying attention to "reciprocal reception", which is if Old Man Cai and them come over, these few come out to show their faces, or come over to say hello, it is almost the same. But these ----- Li Huayong couldn't figure out why they came over anyway.
Of course, everyone has already come, and socializing on the scene is essential. Li Huayong paid attention to Lin Wei's elders, Lin Wei's father was kind and kind-eyed, and he looked like a middle-aged uncle who was harmless to humans and animals. Between his gestures, he can't see how much "bearing" he has, but his "demeanor" is excellent. And Uncle Lin Wei gave Li Huayong a similar feeling, the two of them stood together, making people look like brothers. The only difference is that Lin Yingbiao looks a little younger, and at the same time looks a little sharper.
In addition, Li Huayong didn't know if he was nervous, and he felt that although the few people who came over were also greeting others politely, they seemed to pay a lot of attention to themselves.
Among them, especially Lin Wei's mother, Lin Wei's mother looks like a wealthy wife. When Lin Wei's father was greeting the others, she basically didn't say much except to keep smiling the whole time.
But when it came to Li Huayong, it was different, she not only spoke, but also asked several questions.
This made Li Huayong very nervous. Although Lin Wei's mother asked some ordinary questions, Li Huayong still felt nervous for some reason.
Even the most unrestrained Li Huayong was nervous, so the atmosphere of this meal can be imagined. Lin Yinglong and Lin Yingbiao may indeed be very personable and very polite, but they are by no means the kind of masters who will provoke the atmosphere.
The most feared thing at the wine table is politeness. Due to the lack of a person at the wine table to adjust the atmosphere, and there was not much common language between them, so there was not much communication between everyone, and the meal ended hastily in less than an hour.
Lin Yinglong and Lin Yingbiao looked very gentlemanly from beginning to end, and after they put down the dishes and chopsticks, they politely shook hands with everyone and said goodbye, politely invited everyone to eat and have fun, and after asking Lin Wei to continue to stay to greet the guests, they took the lead in saying goodbye and leaving.
After they left, Li Huayong obviously felt relieved. Li Huayong could even see that Deng Chaoqun and Li Er were stunned, and they also seemed to be relieved.
What Li Huayong didn't know was that when Lin Wei's elders left everyone's sight, they seemed to be a different person.
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?"
Lin Yinglong laughed as he walked, his smile looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha, so Lin Yingbiao couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yinglong did not respond positively to Lin Yingbiao's words, but he came out of nowhere:
"What do you think?"
Although he had no clue about this question, the two people around him seemed to know what he was doing.
"Not very good. ”
Mrs. Lin was the first to speak: "Although it is not convenient to comment on others, I really don't see anything surprising. ”
Lin Yinglong was noncommittal to his wife's answer, he turned around and asked the third brother:
"Ah Biao, what do you think?"
Lin Yingbiao was not as arbitrary as Mrs. Lin, he thought about it, as if he was recalling the situation at the dinner table just now:
"Although I didn't see anything outstanding, I said that the performance of this later life was still good, and I didn't hear anything in the conversation, but his demeanor was still very decent. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yingbiao shook his head: "As my sister-in-law said, now there is only one side, and I can't see anything, so it's inconvenient to evaluate others." ”
"I really don't see anything, don't you, Ah Biao, you claim to be the most perceptive in our Lin family, you can't see it? This makes me very disappointed. ”
There have always been rumors in Xiangjiang that the three brothers of the Lin family are not harmonious with each other, especially the eldest brother and the third brother. However, at least judging from the current performance of the two, this kind of rumor is not reliable.
Lin Yingbiao shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Big brother, don't joke with me, don't I know my catties yet? But big brother, you must see something, yes, yes, you just laughed, then tell me, what do you see?"
Not only Lin Yingbiao, but even Mrs. Lin looked at her husband as a matter of course, as if her husband, who was like Maitreya Buddha, was really observant.
"I see at least two things:"
The chairman of the Lin Group raised his fingers: "First, I don't know if you have noticed? Although this descendant is young, and I heard Lotus say that he is just a worker, it stands to reason that his status should not be high, but haven't you noticed? When he speaks, everyone follows, what topic he talks about, everyone talks about what topic, he says to raise a glass, he says to drink, he drinks..."
Speaking of this, Lin Yinglong shook his head: "Although there are not many times like this, and the speech and demeanor of this descendant seem to be decent, but some people seem to be born with such a bearing." This offspring is a person who was born with that kind of bearing, and it is no wonder that Ah Quan admires him so much. ”
Lin Yingbiao and Mrs. Lin, look at me, let me look at you, they really didn't expect Lin Yinglong to say such a thing, of course they didn't feel this way, so they didn't say anything about it.
"And what's the second point you see?"
"You didn't pay attention to the second point? The second point is the girl from the lotus flower. ”
Speaking of this, Chairman Lin's voice became indignant:
"If other mainlanders look at him, forget it, but the lotus girl is good, didn't you notice it just now, she only talked to him alone at the dinner table just now, I think our baby daughter, that is a heart is all placed on this offspring. ”
"Huh?!"
Mrs. Lin let out an "ah" in surprise, while Lin Yingbiao laughed:
"Hahahaha, big brother is amazing. Then big brother, tell me, if Abba were to see this offspring, what would he say?"
Hearing Lin Yingbiao mention his father, Lin Yinglong showed a complicated expression:
"There's no rush for this, there's still time anyway. ”
Just when Lin Wei's elders were talking about Li Huayong, at the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Wei was in Li Huayong's room:
"Ah Yong, where do you think I'll take you tomorrow?"
Li Huayong smiled bitterly: "Miss, this is your territory, you also ask me about this kind of thing?"
"You can also suggest my territory. ”
"Then you will enter the city as a hillbilly, this hillbilly will enter the city for the first time, then of course where is the most prosperous place to lead. ”
"The most prosperous place ..... okay! Then it's decided, I'll take you there tomorrow, Central!"
