At 7:30 p.m., Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan, who was slightly disguised, came to the place where Zhou Guocheng made an appointment with him, the Peace Hotel at the intersection of Nanjing East Road, the earliest existing hotel in Shanghai, the south building was built in 1906, called Huizhong Hotel at that time, it was a balanced apartment building imitating the Renaissance, with a symmetrical and solemn appearance; The biggest feature of the building is that the façade color red brick does the waist line, the white wall brick does the veneer, it looks solemn and elegant from afar, and has a unique style, it is a rare masterpiece, the north building was built in 1929, formerly known as the Chinachem Hotel, it belongs to the Gothic building of the Chicago School, the building is 77 meters high, a total of 12 floors. The Chinachem Hotel was founded by the then wealthy British Jew Ellis. Victor. Sassoon built it, so it is also called the "Sassoon Building". The exterior wall is made of granite stone blocks, entered by the revolving hall door, the lobby floor is paved with milky white Italian marble, and the top bronze openwork chandelier is luxurious and elegant, and has the reputation of "the first floor in the Far East".

The taxi stopped at the door of the hotel, when Wu Tianlin paid the fare, walked out of the car with Wang Yuxuan, looked at the Peace Hotel with the reputation of the first floor of the Far East in front of him, and said to Wang Yuxuan on the side with a smile: "I have never been late, but today because of the traffic in Shanghai, I was late for the first time, and the traffic in Shanghai is really not flattering, from Jiangbin Road to here it has been driving for more than half an hour, and it seems that no matter where you go, you have to mention it, and you must not calculate the time so punctually. Now it is estimated that Zhou Guocheng should be in a hurry, let's go in quickly. ”

When Wang Yuxuan heard Wu Tianlin's words, he replied with a smile: "This time is the peak time for getting off work, and this is the case in any city. After speaking, she softly held Wu Tianlin's arm, snuggled up to Wu Tianlin's tall body like a bird, and followed Wu Tianlin into the lobby from the revolving hall door.

Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan stepped on the milky white marble floor together, walked into the hotel hall and immediately saw Zhou Guocheng who was already waiting there, so he greeted him with a smile, shook hands with Zhou Guocheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou! I'm so sorry! Because of the traffic jam on the way over, it turned out to be late, and it was too long for you to wait. ”

Zhou Guocheng since he made some inferences about Wu Tianlin's identity, he attaches special importance to Wu Tianlin, so he rushed to the Peace Hotel from more than six o'clock in the evening, personally arranged some related matters for the evening banquet, and then went to the hotel lobby to wait for Wu Tianlin, although Zhou Guocheng is a impatient person, but he still waited in the lobby of the Peace Hotel without any complaints for more than an hour, and now he saw Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan walking into the hotel lobby together, happily hurriedly stepped forward, and warmly held Wu Tianlin's hand, Excitedly replied, "Mr. Wu! Look at what you said, this traffic jam is a major feature of our Huhai, and when Mr. Wu is used to living in Shanghai, you will get used to it, please come inside! ”

Zhou Guocheng's eyes are higher than the sky and his impatient character, Zhou Guocheng's female secretary and driver are very clear, but today's Zhou Guocheng's actions surprised them, from Zhou Guocheng to the Peace Hotel, he personally arranged the dinner, and even waited in the hotel lobby for more than an hour without saying a word. But when they saw that the guests invited by Zhou Guocheng turned out to be a pair of young men and women, almost both of them showed incredible expressions on their faces, and it was not until Zhou Guocheng personally led the two young men and women into the elevator that the two of them reacted from the incredible scene in front of them and began to guess the identity of the young man in front of them.

Zhou Guocheng invited Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan to walk into the box together, and then apologized apologetically to Wang Yuxuan beside Wu Tianlin: "Miss Wang Yuxuan! Hello! Just now, because in the lobby of the hotel, people come and go, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble to Mr. Wu and you, so I didn't dare to say hello to you, tonight you and Mr. Wu accepted my invitation, it is really a great honor for Mr. Zhou. ”

Although Wang Yuxuan has always been developing in Beiping, it is not the first time she has dealt with Zhou Guocheng, so she has some understanding of Zhou Guocheng, and knows that the reason why Zhou Guocheng will put down his identity and talk to himself like this is entirely because of Wu Tianlin's face, but her current identity is Wu Tianlin's girlfriend, so she did not need to lower her status as before, but smiled and greeted Zhou Guocheng with an elegant demeanor: "Mr. Zhou!" Hello! Look at what you said, your actions are completely for me and Tianlin, I thank you too late, how can I think you are rude? ”

When Zhou Guocheng heard this, he laughed, but quickly stabilized his emotions, and respectfully greeted Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan: "Mr. Wu! Miss Wang Yuxuan! Take a seat, two of you! ”

The three of them sat down in turn, and Zhou Guocheng immediately ordered the waiter in charge of the service on the side to serve the food immediately, and then said to Wu Tianlin and Wang Yuxuan with a smile: "Mr. Wu! Miss Wang Yuxuan! Welcome to Huhai, especially Mr. Wu! Being able to know you really makes Zhou feel fortunate to have three lives, so tonight Zhou specially prepared a little thin wine to show the friendship of the landlord! ”

Wu Tianlin didn't know how many such scenes he had experienced when he was in Sweden, and those who invited him to find any one of them were hundreds of times more prominent than Zhou Guocheng, so he was naturally handy when dealing with Zhou Guocheng, and replied with a humble face: "Mr. Zhou! You are so polite, you have already helped me a lot in the matter of the house, and now it stands to reason that I and Yuxuan should invite you, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to rush first, and I feel embarrassed when I think of this. ”

Of course, Zhou Guocheng understood that Wu Tianlin was just polite words, but his purpose was mainly to be able to get in touch with Wu Tianlin, and it was best to let Wu Tianlin treat him as a friend he could trust, so he climbed up the pole with Wu Tianlin's words, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Wu!" Look at what you said, it is right for friends to help each other, and besides, I just sold you the house that I didn't sell, if I really want to say thank you, then I want to thank you, Mr. Wu! Do you know that from the time I first saw you, I felt that I had a special relationship with you, and I wanted to make friends with you in my heart, so if you think that I am a friend of Zhou, let's not be so polite, and keep putting the words thank you and sorry on your lips, so that everyone becomes a lot more angry, are you right when you say what I said? ”

Hearing Zhou Guocheng's words, Wu Tianlin couldn't help but admire Zhou Guocheng's communication methods in his heart, a few simple words, let each other have less of the kind of students who just met, making the atmosphere obviously much more relaxed, Wu Tianlin listened to Wang Yuxuan introduce Zhou Guocheng before coming, although he didn't know why Zhou Guocheng wanted to know him so hard, but in the end he blamed all this on Liu Yunlong, who led him to know Zhou Guocheng.
