Chapter 189: Lengthening Lincoln
At more than 8 o'clock in the morning, the 228 express train arrived at Beijing Railway Station on time, Zuo Jiang and Li Biyu got off the train and went straight to the Great Wall Hotel, asked for four suites of luxury private rooms at the main station, and took the elevator to the 1st floor with Li Biyu, although I slept in the sleeper of the train all night, I still felt tired, there was a feeling of fatigue, breakfast was eaten on the train, and I had to make up for sleep in the room
The luxury large private room is still the same as the last time I lived in the Great Wall Hotel, a large living room when I entered the room, the difference is that this time I want four suites, one for Zuojiang, one for Li Biyu, one for George and his wife, one for their son Harvey, and the small suites are all with a small living room, bedroom and separate bathroom, Li Biyu became an assistant to Tao Fei, although he was a little used to the luxury of the East Lake Hotel, but when he saw the decoration of the Great Wall, he could only describe it as extravagant.
Zuo Jiang told the waiter to wake them up at 11 o'clock and go back to their suite to rest, Li Biyu lay on the sleeper last night and listened to the train all night, basically did not sleep, at this time was also very tired, yawning back to his suite to rest.
At noon, Zuo Jiang took Li Biyu to eat French Western food, and then went to the main station to contact the car rental matter, Zuo Jiang explained to the waiter at the main station the requirements for renting a car, and the waiter handed Zuo Jiang a car rental model and price list, let Zuo Jiang choose by himself. Zuo Jiang took the price list and sat on the sand in the hall with Li Biyu to study what kind of car to rent.
The Great Wall Hotel provides various brands and models of car rental business, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari, Toyota, Crown, Dayu, Hongqi, Nissan, and Santana. It is everything, the price of high-end cars is ridiculously expensive, the Santana rented when Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei Bai Xiaoyi came here last time, was busy with relatively low-end cars, and this time they had to rent a car to pick up George's family.
When Li Biyu and Zuo Jiang checked into the Great Wall Hotel, she was dumbfounded when she saw the price of the room, and then she couldn't accept the cost of renting a car, so she carefully reminded Zuo Jiang and said: "Zuo Jiang, you just came to Beijing to receive friends you met in the United States." How much does it cost to live in such a high-end hotel and rent such an expensive car, can Sister Tao Fei agree? In her heart, she thought that Zuo Jiang spent all of Tao Fei's money.
Zuo Jiang said: "Sister Biyu, you don't have to worry about how much it costs, our main task now is to receive them well, you see, what kind of car is good to rent?" ”
Li Biyu saw that Zuo Jiang didn't care about the question of money, she didn't know what to say for a while, and when she saw Zuo Jiang asking her what kind of car to rent, she pointed to the longest Lincoln with the most expensive rent on the price list and said angrily: "Zuo Jiang." I think this car is good, so let's rent this car! ”
Zuo Jiang saw Li Biyu's appearance and knew that she was angry with herself, just now Zuo Jiang didn't think about renting this extended Lincoln, it wasn't a matter of money, it was considering that such a car was more eye-catching in Beijing. Just want to rent a mid-range car. On his side are him and Li Biyu, George's family of three, together is 5 people, if you take into account that you have to hire a professional tour guide to travel in Beijing, that is 6 people, renting a car will definitely not be able to sit, he wants to rent a mid-range business car. And in the mid-range commercial car, he liked Toyota, but Li Biyu immediately changed his mind when he was angry with him, and replied with a smile: "Sister Biyu, listen to you, just rent this car!" ”
"Ahh Li Biyu didn't expect that when she said angrily, Zuo Jiang really rented this car, and she was stunned for a while!
Zuo Jiang glanced at Li Biyu with a teasing smile on his face. I took the price list to the front desk and went through the procedures for renting a car. And asked the waiter if the hotel provides tour guide service, and got a positive answer from the waiter. Zuo Jiang said: "I need a professional tour guide to visit Beijing's places of interest. ”
The waiter asked with a professional smile on his face, "Sir, are you in a tour group, and how many people are there?" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "It's not a tour group, it's that I want to receive a few foreign friends, a total of 5 people, how much time does it take to tour the scenic spots in Beijing?" ”
The waiter saw that Zuo Jiang only 5 people were going to ask a professional tour guide, and couldn't help but glance at him, when he handled the car rental business just now, although Zuo Jiang rented the most luxurious car of the Great Wall Hotel, but thought that Zuo Jiang was just a local officer, and did not care, the Great Wall Hotel received countless dignitaries every year, and there was no surprise in the general affairs, but I heard Zuo Jiang say that he was receiving a few foreign friends, and then I knew that this sunny young man was the real gold owner.
The waiter smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo, please wait, I will call the manager of the tourism department and ask her to come and talk to you." ”
After a short time, a beautiful woman in her 30s wearing a professional suit and skirt walked over, saw Zuo Jiang stretched out her hand and said enthusiastically: "Hello! I am the assistant manager of the tourism department of the Great Wall Hotel, and I am very happy to serve you. ”
Zuo Jiang got up from the sand and shook her hand and said, "Hello manager, that's the case, I came to Beijing with my American friend and family today, hoping to visit Beijing's scenic spots, and I am not familiar with Beijing, so I would like to ask a tour guide to provide services for us." ”
The assistant manager smiled and said: "I'm not the manager, you can just call me Assistant Wang, our tourism department is very willing to serve you, Mr. Zuo, please sit down and talk!" He made a gesture to sit down.
After Zuo Jiang sat down, he said: "Assistant Wang, I need a tour guide who is very familiar with Beijing's scenic spots and historic sites, and at the same time is proficient in Beijing's traditional culture, which is very helpful for my American friends to be familiar with our Chinese and familiar with Beijing. ”
Assistant Wang said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo, please rest assured, we will definitely send you the best tour guide according to your requirements, if you have a general tour of Beijing's scenic spots, it will take at least 5 days." ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Assistant Wang, then we will set the tour time to 5 days, starting tomorrow." ”
Assistant Wang said: "Mr. Zuo, please take a look, this is the price list of our tour guide services. As he spoke, he took out a price list from his handbag and handed it to Zuo Jiang.
Zuo Jiang waved his hand and said, "Assistant Wang, I won't look at the price, I will pay according to the price you set!" ”
Assistant Wang smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo is a cheerful person, please ask which room you live in, I will send the tour guide lady who arranged for you to go to your room in the afternoon to discuss the tourist route with you." ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Assistant Wang, I live in room 1508, you let the tour guide come between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I may not be in the room at other times, when I come, I will make a tour route in advance, and I will have a reference at that time." ”
Assistant Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo, no problem!" Saying that, she stood up and stretched out her hand to Zuo Jiang: "I wish you a happy trip!" ”
After sending off Assistant Wang, Zuo Jiang and Li Biyu returned to the room to rest for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they called the main station to transfer the lengthened Lincoln RV, and then went downstairs with Li Biyu. When they came to the lobby on the first floor, the driver was already waiting for them there, and after the receptionist introduced Zuo Jiang and the driver to each other, the driver led the way in front, and went out of the hotel gate to the extended Lincoln RV parked in front of the door, and opened the door for Zuo Jiang and them.
The driver Lao Zhou is a middle-aged man in his 40s, the service is very thoughtful and talkative, the quality is very high, Zuo Jiang thinks that this kind of high-end luxury car is generally rented to the hotel's distinguished guests, for the convenience of the driver's hotel is of course carefully selected.
When he arrived at Du International Airport, there was still half an hour before the arrival time of the plane taken by George's family, Zuo Jiang told the driver that Lao Zhou was waiting outside, and he entered the pick-up hall with Li Biyu. Zuo Jiang is quite familiar with this place because he goes to the United States and comes back to the international airport, but Li Biyu is the first time to come, so he leads her to look around.
Li Biyu felt very fresh about everything here, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, she stopped to take a look at what fresh objects she saw, and even reached out to touch it, and before she knew it, the time was up, and after hearing the news that the plane of George's family was about to enter Hong Kong on the radio, Zuo Jiang pulled Li Biyu to the exit and waited.
It didn't take long, travelers of all races poured out of the exit like a tide, Zuo Jiang and Li Biyu stood in a place with the most observation angle and looked at these travelers of different skin tones, although Li Biyu was used to seeing Simon and their foreign engineers and technicians at the construction site during this time, but it was also very curious to see so many white-skinned and dark-skinned foreigners.
As soon as George's family came out, Zuo Jiang saw it, and pulled Li Biyu and walked over quickly, Li Biyu didn't know George and them, his eyes were still looking at him aimlessly, here Zuo Jiang had already walked in front of the George family who were looking around, and he shouted: "Uncle George, Aunt Stephens, Harvey, I'm here!" As he spoke, he opened his hands.
George's family was immediately pleasantly surprised when they saw Zuo Jiang, Stephens moved the fastest, stepped forward and hugged Zuo Jiang and said, "China Zuo, you want to die aunt!" ”
Zuo Jiang hugged George and Harvey one by one, and then introduced him to them, and said that Li Biyu was an assistant in his sister's company, and he accompanied him to Beijing to pick them up, which caused a burst of exclamations from George's family!
Zuo Jiang led George's family out of the pick-up hall to the extended Lincoln car, the driver Lao Zhou had already opened the car door and stood next to him to make a gesture to invite them to get on the car, the extended Lincoln is also a very high-end car in the United States, George's family saw that Zuo Jiang was using this high-end car to pick them up, and their faces suddenly showed a surprised expression.
