Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Am Shaodong
Tang Yi and Xiao Jinhua stood side by side, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the glass curtain, and the ant-like traffic under his feet, Xiao Jinhua said lightly: "Standing too high, it will be easy to give people the illusion, from here, do you have a feeling that the busy beings are as small as ants." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly, and Xiao Jinhua sighed lightly: "What if no one patronizes this hotel?" The operator will be so anxious to jump down, the water carries the boat and capsizes the boat, and the officialdom of the shopping mall is the same, so for those who are in a high position, they need to remember their own duties and their own foundation. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled: "How can you not understand this truth?" It's because I've stood on a high place for too long, and I feel like I'm born, don't be too long-winded. ”
Tang Yi smiled and did not speak.
"Okay, let's have a drink with my mother." Xiao Jinhua pulled up the black gauze shawl and walked to the sofa, where a bottle of red wine had already been placed on the delicate black wood carved coffee table.
Tang Yi hurriedly walked two steps, ready to pour wine for his mother, who knew that he had just surpassed Xiao Jinhua, but he felt a trip under his feet, stumbled, almost fell, and turned back in shock, but saw Xiao Jinhua playfully sticking out his tongue, Tang Yi was speechless for a while, remembering that when she was a child, as a grandmother, she always teased herself like this, making the stumbling stumble and stumbling over herself, and then she hugged her heart and liver in her arms in distress to coax herself, Chen Ke likes to play with her little self is also thanks to her.
"Like a wooden man!" Seeing that Tang Yi seemed to deal with a naughty child, he just shook his head helplessly. Xiao Jinhua muttered lovingly, she still likes to tease this silly boy in her mind, but the silly boy is too uncooperative with herself.
"Hey, when will you give your mother a grandchild, the older you get, the less fun you are." Xiao Jinhua sat on the sofa and looked at Tang Yi with a smile.
Tang Yi poured her a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Then you have to wait, your prospective daughter-in-law is not yet 19, even if she really gets married, she will have to wait until she is born next year." ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled: "What's the problem with age, I heard that the two old ladies have met, and your marriage is going to be held in advance." ”
Tang Yi was stunned, married? He really never thought about it.
Xiao Jinhua took a sip of wine and smiled mischievously: "Or, you and Qi Jie will give birth to your mother?" ”
Tang Yi's old face turned red, he looked at his mother, lowered his head and went to drink, he knew that Qi Jie's every move was afraid that he couldn't hide it from his mother's eyes and ears, and the relationship with himself had been hot again recently, how could his mother not know?
Seeing that his stupid son was shy and speechless, Xiao Jinhua smiled slightly, changed the topic, took out a thick stack of materials from under the coffee table, and said, "This is the information of the New York Hotel, take a look." ”
Tang Yi opened the information and looked at the overall situation of the hotel, the New York Hotel is a five-star hotel with 4,033 rooms, and the price ranges from 100 US dollars to more than 10,000 US dollars. Its 300,000-square-meter venue facilities include a Garden Ballroom that can accommodate 8,500 people and 30 other fully functional meeting rooms that can accommodate meetings from 28 to 350 people. The hotel also features a 15,000-seat multi-purpose theatre and two theatres. Recreational facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, health club, tennis courts, sauna, golf and more, as well as an ultra-luxurious underground casino.
Flipping down, it is the personnel information of the hotel, the general manager, the heads of various departments, Xiao Jinhua smiled: "How about it, see which one is incompetent, replace him, this hotel is managed by you." ”
Tang Yi smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if it were in the Internet era, he would not be idle and bored to control this hotel remotely, let alone that communication is so underdeveloped now.
He sent the information to his mother's arms and said, "Mom, now I have carte blanche to entrust you to manage this hotel as my representative. ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled: "Then you have to hurry up and find an agent, be careful that I fill my pockets, hey, how about finding a little lover to take care of?" Tang Yi looked at Xiao Jinhua helplessly, Xiao Jinhua smiled coquettishly, she knew that her son was old-fashioned, and he had his father's infatuation in the affairs of men and women, so she liked to tease Tang Yi the most on this issue.
The mother and son chatted warmly, and in the middle, Xiao Jinhua clicked on the large-screen TV to play a short film about the New York Hotel for Tang Yi. When Tang Yi first came, he was only shocked by this behemoth, but he didn't have time to carefully observe the structure of the entire hotel, and then watched this short film, he couldn't help but be even more staggered.
The hotel is a unique exterior in emerald green glass, and the hotel is made up of four main buildings with Hollywood, South American, Casablanca and Desert Oasis themes. In particular, the bathrooms are made of Italian marble.
At the entrance of the hotel stands a huge golden lion surrounded by a fountain, and the hotel is just like the majestic master standing in front of the door, proud of the crowd, dominant, following the changing camera lens into the door, you will see the marble from Italy set off a variety of strange decorations, dazzling, extremely luxurious. It retains the ruggedness and enthusiasm of the development of the West, and its charm is that it reminds people of the pioneer West, followed by meeting rooms, swimming pools, various entertainment facilities, and so on.
However, after Tang Yi watched this short film, he was even more dizzy, if he was allowed to re-enter the hotel from the lobby now, and did not look at the hotel's tour guide icon, he still didn't know where the entertainment facilities were located.
After playing the short film, Xiao Jinhua looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Mom is going to cook for you, you wait!" ”
Tang Yileng paused, then nodded silently.
Dinner was just a simple white porridge, a plate of egg scrambled sauce, and a plate of dry-roasted oysters, but Tang Yi ate it with relish, Xiao Jinhua didn't eat much, just lovingly watched Tang Yi gobble it up.
Tang Yi took a bite of eggs and said with a smile: "Mom, you are really good at tinkering, it's really a tyrannical thing, scrambled eggs with caviar?" There are also delicious oysters for pickles, alas. He shook his head.
Xiao Jinhua said softly: "The soybean sauce here doesn't have the taste of home, in fact, I want to scramble you a plate of authentic egg scrambled sauce the most." ”
Tang Yien sighed, pursed his mouth, lowered his head and ate again, but his throat was a little bitter.
…… The luxurious elongated Lincoln drove on the Las Vegas Strip, Tang Yi looked out and enjoyed the night view of Las Vegas, the avenue was filled with the Statue of Liberty, desert oasis, skyscrapers, sculptures of the gods and other majestic models, behind the model stood a beautiful and luxurious casino hotel, under the night lights, every building is exquisitely carved, highlighting the extraordinary prosperity of Las Vegas.
Tang Yi looked at the beautiful Xiaoqi who was sitting quietly opposite Wen Wen, and couldn't help but shake his head, after dinner, his mother proposed that he must live the nightlife of Las Vegas by himself, saying that he was like a wooden man, and he would have to completely relax when he arrived in Las Vegas.
Tang Yi said that it was okay to play in his hotel, but Xiao Jinhua glared and said, how is it the same? And to Tang Yi rest assured, there will be no mistakes, beside his mother, how can Tang Yi not worry, he just doesn't like to join in the fun, go to luxurious and lively entertainment venues, and would rather read quietly in the room.
But Tang Yi couldn't screw his mother, so he had to get into the car obediently, and he also knew his mother's kindness, and he tensed his nerves all day in China, and his mother wanted to take a complete rest by herself.
"Mr. Tang, this is tonight's itinerary, can you see if there is anything that needs to be modified?" The blonde and blue-eyed beauty sitting next to Tang Yi speaks fluent Chinese, her name is Ruth, she is Xiao Jinhua's special assistant, and Tang Yi's tour guide this time, she has a hot figure, the black one-piece skirt with a sense of surname will hold her ** incomparable body tightly, the snow-white chest exposes the deep cleavage, the towering and huge ** is tightly bound, and the snow-white long legs are exposed to the air, wearing red strappy high heels on her feet, and her bare feet are painted with bright red nail polish, although they are not as pink and cute as the jade feet of Oriental women, Because of wearing high heels for a long time, the toes are slightly squeezed, but they look healthy and real, full of the temptation of the surname.
Tang Yi touched his nose, he really didn't know how his mother would call such a Western stunner to be his tour guide, but it seemed that Ruth was a close confidant of his mother, and seemed to vaguely know the identity of his heir, so he showed more respect and a strict attitude, as for clothing habits, it was not the standard for judging a subordinate.
Tang Yi took the itinerary from Ruth's hand, glanced at it casually, and nodded slightly.
Ruth blinked her big eyes as deep and charming as the blue ocean, and said: "Mr. Tang, the first stop is Wayne Club, I arranged for Mr. Tang for half an hour of indoor surfing, a game of indoor golf, VIP small gambling, and finally snooker leisure and massage." ”
Tang Yi frowned slightly and said, "I don't like it, and I can't play." ”
Ruth hurriedly apologized, as if she had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, then I'll rearrange it for you, this is the entertainment of their club, you can take a look." As he spoke, he handed Tang Yi a few pages of plastic colored paper.
Tang Yi waved his hand, thinking that he didn't have anything to like about these entertainment projects, and after a little pondering, he said: "Let's play a few billiards casually, but I'm not familiar with the rules of snooker, so I play the No. 8 rule." ”
Ruth was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said OK.
Tang Yi smiled, he really didn't look like a rich man, but Tang Yi always thought that leisure and entertainment, doing whatever he wanted, if it wasn't for interest, just for the sake of vassal elegance and learning the so-called high-end sports, it was really worth the loss.
Ruth picked up the phone and dialed, her English was very fast, Tang Yi could only understand a rough idea, it should be a call with the person in charge of the club, pushed away the scheduled entertainment items, and advanced the billiards box by three hours, which seemed to be a little troublesome, Ruth's scheduled VIP billiard room seemed to be booked out of this time period, and under Ruth's strong request, the other party finally said OK.
Tang Yi frowned and said: "Don't break the rules of doing business, even if it is a partner of a New York hotel, this kind of unreasonable request will destroy the good relationship between the two parties." ”
Ruth hurriedly explained: "The president has instructed that all arrangements today must be in the interests of Mr. Tang, and I have done everything in accordance with the president's instructions. ”
Tang Yi said: "Even if you follow the instructions of the president, you can change to another billiard room." As he spoke, he picked up the color pages and said, "Look at the introduction, there are dozens of VIP rooms in the club." ”
Ruth said sorry. Tang Yi also ignored her.
The luxurious Lincoln stops in front of a white castle that is the most luxurious entertainment city in Las Vegas, the Wayne Las Vegas Club.
Ruth led the way in front, Tang Yi walked in the middle, Xiao Qi followed last, and in the lobby of the club, it was also in milky white tones, warm and luxurious, and the blonde beauty in the red dress and uniform greeted the guests politely and guided the guests to their destinations.
VIP billiard room on the fourth floor, Tang Yi and three people followed a blonde beauty waiter into the VIP box, when I heard Ruth say to go to the No. 1 VIP room, the beautiful waitress happily introduced the marker of the No. 1 room, that is, the scoring lady, the original Marker of the No. 1 room was last year's national women's snooker champion Lilis, the top beautiful girl billiards master in the United States, and the No. 1 VIP room of billiards has also become the signature entertainment venue of the Wayne Club, because the marker is not just a pendulum score, If the guests need it, they can spar and guide the guests' billiards skills, and the rich children who love snooker are also eager to visit the Wayne No. 1 room.
Tang Yi knew why Ruth insisted on Room No. 1, and couldn't help but smile.
The VIP billiards room is really luxurious, with a double-storey suite, an outside room for guests to rest, similar to the luxurious living room of a star-rated hotel, with a crimson carpet, black leather sofa, and a large-screen TV, showing luxury everywhere.
Lilith is a very delicate American girl, wearing a standard scorekeeper black suspender suit, a snow-white shirt, a small black bow, black high heels, and blonde hair tied behind her head.
When she heard that Tang Yi was going to play the No. 8 rule, Lilith glanced at Tang Yi in surprise, but didn't say anything, just asked the service lady to get the No. 8 ball equipment.
The service lady just took Ruth's tip, and said enthusiastically: "Sir, if you are not familiar with the rules of snooker, you can be taught by Miss Lilith." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly, it was good to do what he liked, but blindly insisting on it was like he was deliberately playing with his surname, so he said: "It's not about teaching or not, I still remember some snooker rules, just play for a while." ”
Playing billiards, Tang Yi is naturally far inferior to Lilith, but Lilith is very skillful in playing, just a few points ahead of Tang Yi, so that Tang Yi will always have the hope of catching up, which will not make Tang Yi's lead seem too fake, and will not go down in a few strokes, so that Tang Yi will fall far behind and lose interest in playing ball.
After Tang Yi shot down a very difficult goal, Lilith smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, in fact, you are very talented, if you practice hard, you may become a first-class player." ”
Tang Yi smiled and did not speak.
After saying a few words, Tang Yi responded casually, but Lilith became curious about this oriental young man who was always calm and calm on his face and had an indescribable special temperament, so she asked: "Mr. Tang, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, are you an American?" ”
Tang Yi shook his head, and Lilith asked curiously, "Myself?" Korean? ”
Tang Yi said: "Chinese. ”
Lilith sighed and laughed, "It's an ancient and mysterious country. ”
Tang Yi shot down a flower ball again, and said lightly: "It will become a modern country." "When foreigners mention China, they like to say that it is mysterious and ancient, but in fact, because they don't know anything about China, they have the impression that it is a poor and ignorant country, and they can only use words such as mysterious and ancient to compliment it.
Lilith was slightly stunned, nodded slightly, and asked again, "Mr. Tang is here to do business?" She is actually very reserved, if it is not a snooker topic, often the guests ask her ten words, and she only answers one, but when she meets this wooden man, an oriental youth who is ten times more reserved than her, Lilith changed her role and gossiped rarely.
Tang Yi nodded slightly.
Lilith asked again: "Mr. Tang......" "Ding", Tang Yi shot down the last colored ball, and said with a smile: "I won!" You're not very dedicated! ”
Lilith was stunned, just now she only cared about talking to Tang Yi, and when it was her turn, she also dealt with it casually, but she didn't want to unknowingly that Tang Yi had overtaken the score.
Hearing Tang Yi criticize herself for being disrespectful, Lilith laughed and said with a coquettish smile: "One more game, I won't let you." ”
Tang Yi nodded, put down the club, and said, "Go out and have a drink." ”
In the leisure living room, Xiao Qi stood in the corner, standing with his hands in his hands. Ruth took a white towel to help Tang Yi wipe his sweat, Tang Yi waved his hand, playing billiards for a while, where would he sweat.
Ruth wanted to go out and call the waiter, but Tang Yi pointed to the refrigerator: "Just take two cans of drinks." ”
Drinking the cool mineral water, Tang Yi leaned on the sofa, but he couldn't help but think of the work of the inspection room again, and shook his head, he really couldn't relax forever.
Lilith looked curiously at this strange combination of men and women, wondering what their relationship was, lovers? It's not like, bosses and subordinates, it's not like, how can anyone bring two female subordinates to the club for recreation, unless it's a lover. But they don't look like lovers at all.
Tang Yi didn't speak, Ruth flipped through the itinerary there, and learned a little about Tang Yi's surname, and Ruth began to revise the original schedule.
Just when everyone fell silent, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then the door was slammed open, and a bloated white fat man rushed in with an angry face, followed by two big black men behind him.
"**, I booked room No. 1 the day before yesterday, why should I give it to someone else? Why? Damn Sandy, he doesn't have any credibility to speak of! "The fat man came in and yelled, Sandy was the public relations manager at the Wayne Club.
Xiao Qiyi stretched out his arm and stopped these uninvited guests.
Lilith was startled when she saw it, this fat man she knew, Sampras, one of the Las Vegas underworld giants, was ruthless and well-known in Las Vegas.
"Ah, Mr. Sampras, what's wrong with you?" Lilith hurriedly walked over with a smile on her face.
Sampras's face was slightly softer when he saw Lilith, and he complained: "Lilith, you know, how much I like billiards, I set a time the day before yesterday, but that hateful Sandy, just called me to inform me that I can't see you until ten o'clock, you say, should he be fired?" I'm going to have to tell Wayne that old thing to fire him. ”
Sampras glared at Xiao Qi again: "Beautiful young lady, please take your noble arm away from my sight." ”
Lilith's heart was pounding, she knew that Sampras was ruthless, and it was none of her business, but she still had a good impression of Tang Yi, and she didn't want to see this mysterious oriental young man being hit with his head blown up in front of her eyes.
Lilith hurriedly walked over to the round: "Mr. Sampras, something must be wrong, don't be angry. He turned back to Tang Yi and said apologetically: "Mr. Tang, please go out with your friends first, and I will accompany you to practice another day." ”
Tang Yi didn't want to do much, not to mention that he and Ruth were also to blame for this matter, forcibly occupying other people's time, so he stood up and said, "Xiao Qi, let's go." ”
Xiao Qi slowly lowered his arm and took two steps back.
Ruth said in Tang Yi's ear: "Mr. Tang, you don't have to be afraid of him, it's just a hooligan." ”
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Let's go." How did he not know that the so-called underworld giants, in the eyes of the real rich, were indeed ruffians and hooligans.
Seeing that Ruth and Tang Yi were intimate, Sampras snorted and muttered, "**, inferior yellow monkey!" "Like many Caucasians, they don't like to see white beauties mingling with men of color.
Tang Yi frowned and stopped: "Mr. Sampras, please apologize to me." ”
Sampras narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Yi, spat on the ground with a "bah", and said viciously: "Before I get angry, it's best to get out of here!" ”
Tang Yi stood still, Lilith wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to speak, after all, in the United States, racist surname language is the most serious provocation.
Sampras waved his hand: "Throw these pieces of garbage out!" ”
A big black man's fists squeaked, striding towards Tang Yi, Xiao Qi turned sideways, already blocked in front of the big man, the black strong man stretched out his hand and pushed towards Xiao Qi, thinking that this thin girl would be pushed down by himself, who knew that as soon as his arms were stretched out, he saw that the beautiful girl raised her hands and grabbed her elbows, and then felt a sharp pain, and the two arms were suddenly numb.
From Tang Yi's point of view, Xiao Qi's movements are full of rhythmic beauty, as if he was watching Jet Li's action movie, and saw Xiao Qi's two small hands grabbing between the elbows of the black strong man and twisting it, and the black man's arms hung down softly, and then Xiao Qi turned over and kicked a beautiful side kick, and the shiny black leather shoes kicked firmly on the face of the black man, and the face of the black man seemed to be distorted at that moment, staggered back a few steps, and fell softly.
Sampras's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately reached into his arms and took out a revolver, only to find that the small Bucklin in the hand of the delicate girl had been put on Sampras's head.
The black man was a little at a loss, and Xiao Qi said lightly: "Put down the gun and get on the ground!" ”
The black man just hesitated, and with a crisp gunshot, he fell down with a miserable scream, rolling on the ground with his legs covered, blood oozing from his fingers, bright and dazzling.
Lilith was completely stunned, looking at Tang Yi in amazement, but saw that Tang Yi had already turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Feeling the cold muzzle on his head, Sampras's legs and stomach turned a little, but after all, he had seen strong winds and waves, and snorted coldly: "Little guys, do you know who I am?" You will pay a terrible price for your actions now. ”
Ruth threw a ball of tissues in his face and said disdainfully, "Sampras, go back to your east coast!" Tang Yi was amused to find that this capable white-collar beauty was not inferior to Sister Lan compared to the fox and fake tiger.
The club manager Sandy got the news and rushed over, Ruth stayed to negotiate with Sandy, and Xiao Qi escorted Tang Yi downstairs.
After waiting for a long time back to Lincoln, Ruth hurried out and got into the car, Ruth had another series of sorrys, Tang Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's quite exciting." ”
In the next few days, Tang Yi said that he accompanied Xiao Jinhua to drink tea and chat, but in the evening, Xiao Jinhua had to Tang Yi to relax accompanied by Ruth, Tang Yi was helpless, these days he lived a young life in Las Vegas, riding horses, playing golf, and occasionally going to a small gamble, purely relaxing. Of course, I didn't forget to visit Las Vegas' Chinatown and eat a Chinese meal rich in Western flavors.
