Chapter 5: Invisible Pretending is the Deadliest
The woman glanced at Lu Chuan, and then quietly pointed at him to the man. may think that Lu Chuan's dress does not match this high-end hotel, a bit like mixing in and sending small advertisements.
Lu Chuan walked with the man and woman, one after the other, to the elevator room on the 17th floor. Men and women come to travel from other places, the man's name is Jiang Xiaotian, his family has a little money, and he usually likes to take women in and out of high-end hotels. The woman's name is Wang Sina, and she is a second-tier Internet celebrity on Weibo. The two got acquainted through Weibo, then invited to dinner, watched movies, traveled, and finally the hotel snapped.
Lu Chuan didn't have the heart to care about the men and women behind him, he only felt that the woman's perfume smell was a little pungent.
Jiang Xiaotian behind him, hugged his newly picked up Internet celebrity, and the two followed behind Lu Chuan with a smile and a smile.
"Husband, where are we going to play today?" Wang Sina's whole body threw herself into Jiang Xiaotian's arms.
"Let's go out for a meal first, and find a restaurant with good dishes."
"Okay, but I want to have steak and seafood for lunch. Why don't we eat in the hotel? ”
After listening to the woman's request, Jiang Xiaotian suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face. Steak in a five-star hotel, as well as seafood, what price does it cost. The two of them ate this meal, at least a thousand. He only opened a house for more than 700, and the price is not very cost-effective.
"For seafood steaks, why don't we go out and eat them, it feels too cost-effective here."
"Don't, people just want to eat here, how good the environment is here, and people want to take two photos of their husbands!" Wang Sina wants to take pictures and then show off. Send it to Weibo and send it to Moments, which arouses the envy of friends.
……
Lu Chuan didn't have the heart to care about what the men and women said, anyway, he waited for the elevator to slowly descend from the 20th floor, and then took it and left.
When the elevator door opened, I saw a middle-aged man in a wide suit, who was slightly stunned in the elevator for a moment, and nodded at him with a smile.
"Oh! Hello Mr. Lu! I'm the hotel manager I met with you yesterday, my surname is Wang, do you remember me? ”
"Well, that's a bit impressive."
"Mr. Lu, is it okay to have lobster in the steak last night? The service of the hotel is also considerate, your luxury suite, do you need to send someone to clean it? ”
"Well, thank you."
He carried a backpack and walked into the elevator, and he didn't need to make any show to make people feel his status.
The man and woman behind them, arguing about where to go for lunch, suddenly stopped squirming and entered the elevator.
If you want to say that the aura between people will affect each other. Especially like Lu Chuan, who is not inconspicuous, but the people around him respect him very much. Such a low-key but noble temperament can always make some rabble obediently shut their mouths,
The atmosphere in the elevator was a little awkward, Lu Chuan didn't take the initiative to speak, and Manager Wang beside him couldn't find other topics to talk about. Jiang Xiaotian and Wang Sina, who were leaning on the edge of the elevator, could only pretend to be calm and pretend that they hadn't heard anything just now.
"Mr. Lu has arrived on the first floor, and I want to go to the underground parking garage, so I can't accompany you first."
"It's okay, you go get busy."
Lu Chuan carried his backpack and stepped out of the elevator first. Jiang Xiaotian and Wang Sina deliberately walked slowly, letting him go first. This is like the boss and the employee sitting in the same elevator, the employee will feel very uncomfortable, it is the sense of disparity brought about by status and identity.
As soon as Lu Chuan walked into the hall, a long-haired woman in a black suit walked towards him.
"Hello Mr. Lu, do you want to go out so coincidentally?"
The woman is Shirley who sent him WeChat in the morning. I don't know if Shirley was a coincidence or if she met in the lobby on purpose.
Lu Chuan nodded, ready to ask the front desk lady to give him a taxi. But when he walked straight past Shirley, he heard Shirley ask him gently, "Mr. Lu, are you going to that art gallery?" Why don't I send you off when I'm free? ”
Lu Chuan briefly thought about it, and then agreed. Since the other party has already asked for this, it will be a bit unbearable for him to refuse.
The two quickly left in the black Mercedes-Benz C200, leaving only Jiang Xiaotian and Wang Sina, who had just entered and exited the elevator together, looking at the Mercedes-Benz with fluttering eyes.
Wang Sina put her arms around her newly met husband, looked at Lu Chuan's Mercedes-Benz and asked, "The man just now looks like he has a lot of status, but he feels so young?" ”
Jiang Xiaotian pretended not to hear Wang Sina's question. He suddenly felt that the woman next to him was very annoying, a little tired. was stimulated by Lu Chuan's pomp just now. Now that the person is finally gone, the woman next to her is gossiping over there, and her good mood is annoyed by her.
……
In the Mercedes-Benz car, Shirley asked Lu Chuan with a gentle smile, "Mr. Lu, the portrait gallery you are looking for is to paint a picture for yourself?" ”
Lu Chuan looked at the familiar city outside the window and did not answer. Shirley obediently kept her mouth shut, so she had to drive and not ask anything else.
About an hour later, the car stopped steadily in front of an "Aimer Portrait Museum" on Liuzhou Road. The portrait gallery is a bit old, having been open here for about 25 years. The boss's name is Sun Guiren, and he is 65 years old this year.
Lu Chuan opened the car door and walked into the museum first, only to see the black and white portraits in the museum, vividly presented in front of his eyes.
"Hello old man, I would like to ask you to help me draw three pictures. The three people in the painting, I will state the image to you. ”
Sun Guiren was wearing a dark green painter's hat, looked at Lu Chuan with bright eyes, and smiled politely.
There are puzzles similar to facial features in the museum, which can allow Lu Chuan to match his own image. It took about half an hour before he matched the appearance of his parents and girlfriend in his previous life.
Shirley, who was obediently accompanying her on the side, stood in the hall without daring to ask anything. She didn't understand what Lu Chuan was going to do, she only felt that the three people in the painting were very important to him.
After confirming the basic image, Lu Chuan carefully explained to the old gentleman which parts were slightly different. It took about half an hour for the three portraits to be basically confirmed.
While the old gentleman was starting to paint, Shirley went out to answer a phone call. The call was from her boss Mr. Ma, and the content was very concise and clear, that is, he could return to the hotel tomorrow, and then sign a share transfer agreement with Lu Chuan.
After listening to the phone, Shirley was stunned outside the gallery for three seconds, and the whole person was surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Chuan was so young that he would have the ability to invest in their hotel? What kind of background did he have to do this? She didn't dare to continue thinking about it, the young man in front of her was deeply hidden, not her new secretary, who could figure it out.
She hurriedly ran into the hall, and said respectfully to Lu Chuan with a somewhat complicated expression, "That, Mr. Lu......"
