Chapter 121: Little Three
When night falls, the lights on the skyscrapers on the Bund come on.
The flashing neon lights on the roofs of Jin Mao Tower and Shangri-La Hotel are like the crown of the Queen.
At this moment, the beautiful Bund finally showed her charming brilliance and enchanting demeanor in this charming night.
Because he ate too much at night, Cai Hongming simply took Kou Yunxiang's mother and daughter out for a walk. The fan who was holding his stomach and shouting that he was full saw the bright night scene outside, he was immediately attracted, and kept pulling his mother to ask this and that curiously, and he was very excited.
The boats on the Huangpu River are decorated with colorful lights, like palaces and dragon boats, and each boat has a different shape and changes.
At this time, the Huangpu River can be said to have become a flowing ribbon, and all kinds of high-rise buildings on both sides of the river are like diamonds inlaid in the ribbon.
The most dazzling of these diamonds is the Oriental Pearl Tower, which is conical in shape and consists of two spheres, upper and lower, supported by a steel frame in the middle. The Oriental Pearl at night is particularly conspicuous, with two huge spheres flickering and blurring lights, constantly changing colorful colors, and the beauty is abnormal.
In the evening breeze, it is a wonderful pleasure to take a walk on this Bund and enjoy the beautiful night view.
After walking a few steps, the three of them came to the famous Bund 18.
Bund 18 was originally home to the first foreign bank to enter China, the British merchant Liru Bank. Soon after, it became the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in China, and later called it "Macquarie Bank" after the Chinese transliteration of the name of John Mackellar, the first manager of the Shanghai branch of Standard Chartered Bank.
Maccalli Bank Shanghai Branch was merged into Hong Kong Branch after liberation.
In 1955, the Shanghai Municipal Housing Management Department took over the building and renamed it "Chunjiang Building", and was later used by Shanghai Home Textile Company, Zhongbo Steamship Company, Shanghai Fisheries Bureau and Aquatic Products Association. Later, Shanghai Hengyi Real Estate Management Co., Ltd. took over the site, and after two years of renovation, it was completed at the end of 2004. Started operation under the name "Bund 18".
After two years of renovation, Bund 18 has become a top-notch comprehensive consumer building with flagship stores of world-class fashion brands, internationally renowned restaurants, bars and art exhibition halls.
Cai Hongming has never been in it, and now that he has some money in his pocket, he wants to go and see it.
It's not that you can't go in if you don't have money, it's just that you don't have money in your pocket, and you can't help but feel scared. It is said that "money is heroic courage", and this is nothing more than that.
So, he took Kou Yunxiang and a fan and walked to the Bund 18.
Pushing open the two-color bronze gate of No. 18 on the Bund, you can see a round pattern of broken marble paving under your feet, and look up to see the ceiling lined with square reliefs, and a few glittering ancient Greek marble columns not far away stand majestically and quietly on both sides of the lobby.
At a cursory glance, Cai Hongming felt that this place was full of elegance and nobility.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a little spare money in his pocket, and the clothes he wore were tastefully modified Hanfu specially designed by his wife, he wouldn't dare to step on the floor here. I'm a little ashamed of myself.
As soon as you enter the door, you are attracted by everything dazzling in front of you. Kou Yunxiang too. When she arrived at such a high-end place, she was inevitably a little hesitant in her heart, and only said to Cai Hongming for a long time: "I don't buy things." She didn't have to look to see it to know that the prices sold here were very expensive, and although she had a little savings, she didn't dare to spend it like that.
"I don't buy a fan." The small fan also chimed in.
"Don't worry, we don't sell, just see."
Hearing Cai Hongming's words, Kou Yunxiang was relieved.
The first and second floors of 18 on the Bund are dedicated to world-class luxury clothing, accessories and jewellery. It represents the consumption concept of the elite crowd, and also makes every guest who lingers here overlooking the elegant atrium and looking at the bright chandelier. In an instant, it became a vanity fair full of clothing and jewelry. The 4th to 7th floors are home to gourmet food and bars from around the world, the 5th and 6th floors are among the world's top 50 restaurants, and the terrace on the 7th floor is a must-see for nightlife in Shanghai.
Here, in fact, is the fashion landmark of Shencheng, the epitome of this drunken and bizarre city, a charming Vanity Fair.
Cai Hongming, Kou Yunxiang, Fan Fan and the other three were strolling around the hall. There are all kinds of luxury brands that I have heard of before, and there are even some that I have never heard of, and the prices are even higher and scary. They never thought that a small thing would be in the thousands, and some would be more than tens of thousands. It's all better than robbery.
Kou Yunxiang looked at the price and found that her pitiful deposit of hundreds of thousands of dollars could only buy a few bags here. I originally thought that there were more than 100,000 people, but now it seems that there are actually few pitiful.
"Yiyi, Yiyi, come here, who do you see is that?"
Yan Ling and Yi Yi rarely had a free time to go shopping today, but they didn't expect to run into Cai Hongming, and hurriedly shouted to the sisters who were trying cosmetics on the side.
"Who?" Yi Yi walked over and asked curiously.
"Look over there." Yi Yi looked in the direction of her finger, "Hey, isn't that Chu Chu's husband Cai Hongming, why is he here?" Who are the women and children around him? ”
"You said it could be his junior outside, right?" Yan Ling whispered.
"No, it won't!" When Yi Yi heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, "He has only been married to Chu Chu for a year, how can there be a junior, besides, the children are so old, yes, we Chu Chu is a junior." ”
"No, I must tell Chu Chu about this." Yan Ling was in a hurry, so he picked up his mobile phone to make a call.
"Don't mess around, now Chu Chu is pregnant, if something happens, you'll be finished."
"So what do you say?"
"I think we might as well go up and ask directly, so as not to be suspicious here."
Yan Ling thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go." If it's really the junior he raised outside, see how his aunt and grandmother clean him up. After speaking, she walked towards Cai Hongming angrily, walked closer, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
Cai Hongming felt as if someone was behind him, and suddenly turned around, only to find that it was Yan Ling and Yiyi.
Yan Ling's outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, embarrassed. But she is also a person with a big heart, and immediately reached back and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to do some errands, and you guys are going shopping!"
"Well," Yan Ling responded, then looked at Kou Yunxiang and asked, "This is"
"This is Sister Yun, she wants to go to my side to play, so she left together, this is her daughter's fan." Cai Hongming taught the fan fan again and shouted: "Fan fan, call Auntie." ”
When Yan Ling heard this, he hurriedly stopped, "What auntie, you want to call my sister." ”
"Sister?" Cai Hongming's face turned strange.
"Or what do you think? You don't look at your aunt's little face, which is about to drip water, standing with her, everyone thinks they are sisters, and the aunt is a lot older all of a sudden. ”
People still think you've just graduated from kindergarten?
Cai Hongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Now this woman, if she is really shameless, she is really shameless. (To be continued......)
