(Note: The citation in the article comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.) )
Because they were not traveling with their families, Su Ruilin did not use his private jet, they first drove from J City to Changsha, and then took the international air line AL916 flight to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, at Huanghua International Airport in Changsha, with a flight time of 11 hours.
Flight AL916 has a total of 28 business classes and 255 economy classes, all of which are full, most of them are summer vacation students who are led by their parents and relatives to Egypt for a so-called "adventure and mystery tour", which shows the boom of Egypt's tourism industry.
On flight AL916, which flew high above the blue sky like a swift bird, Su Ying was intently looking up some information about Egypt, especially the capital Cairo. Every time she goes to a place or is about to go to a place, Su Ying always habitually wants to take the lead in figuring out the basic common sense such as the local geographical situation, religious habits and customs, so that Su Ying's heart will be more relieved, when she tracked Cybertron from Japan to J City, and when the school organized a trip to the ancient city of Phoenix in Hunan, Su Ying was like this, otherwise she would not have found the top of the hill full of gorgeous roses in J City, where she took Liu Mo to be, I also didn't notice the heavy rain that Phoenix Ancient City suffered in 2014, so I paid special attention to it after that. Su Ying's good habit is conducive to the operation and communication with the locals, at least to ensure that in an emergency, he will not get lost, will not step on some mines, cause unnecessary conflicts such as religious customs in the local area and drag down the process of action, will not be played by the "native" false gods or apostles between applause, as for the language problem, Egypt also has most people speaking English for some historical reasons, so Su Ying, who is proficient in English, Japanese and Chinese, does not need to worry.
This seemingly easy trip, in fact, Su Ying has never completely and sincerely done a simple relaxing trip, and most of the purpose of her special visit to Egypt is because of what Dr. Q once said, "Africa has not been peaceful recently".
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. If I don't go to hell, who will?
Su Ruilin sat in front of Su Ying, and the circle of rich people naturally met rich people, so at the beginning of this trip, he got acquainted with a rich man who was based in Aswan, who had returned from a trip to China, and was also received by some municipal government officials, presumably participating in some mutually beneficial international projects. At this time, the rich man was talking with Su Ruilin in standard international English, the two talked very happily, and even admired each other, Su Ruilin and he made an appointment to have the opportunity to visit Aswan, maybe they could have a "win-win" cooperation, the other party smiled and nodded, saying that they would definitely be hospitable.
Such is the case with the minds of the rich, who will not miss the opportunity to meet future partners even if they only fly in international business class.
Su Yingzai carefully browsed through all the information that could be found on the Internet, and then cast her eyes from the small round window of the plane, and could already vaguely see a curved water belt under the clouds and fog - the mother river of Egypt, the Nile.
Mu Nianci, Mu Kong, and a group of executives who worked in Su Ruilin's company had already fallen asleep, or they were reading newspaper news all the way, or they were talking to each other after waking up, and they were in harmony.
An 11-hour flight is really just a matter of sleep.
Flight AL916 stopped at Cairo International Airport, which is located about 15 kilometers northeast of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, as soon as she got off the plane, she saw the rectangular flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the airport, which was the national flag of Egypt, the ratio of length and width was 3:2, from top to bottom by red, white and black three parallel and equal horizontal rectangles, the red of the national flag symbolized the revolution, the white symbolized purity and bright future, and the black symbolized the dark years of Egypt in the past. In the middle of the white part is the national emblem pattern, which is a golden eagle called Saladin's eagle. Standing tall and spreading its wings, the Golden Eagle symbolizes victory, bravery and loyalty, and it is the embodiment of the Egyptian people's freedom to fly high in the sky in the face of the scorching sun and storms. The eagle's chest is a shield-shaped national flag, and the base pedestal frieze reads "Arab Republic of Egypt" in Arabic.
A convoy of four Maybach S-class luxury cars was waiting outside the airport early, all pure and domineering black, so that most of the pedestrians inside and outside the airport cast curious glances or stopped to comment, and the language was indispensable for admiration, and the eyes were indispensable for envy. Su Ruilin and Su Ying took the team leader's car, Mu Kong and Mu Nianci took the second car, and the other four executives each took the remaining two. The Maybach S-Class convoy drove smoothly to Cairo City, and along the way, there were white dome-shaped buildings and glowing towers, those are mosques and minarets, in Arabic, minarets are also called "minar", referring to the place where the muezzin stands and calls people to pray, and Mu Nianci and Mu Kong in the second car are wide eyes and admiration, and their hearts deeply feel the different customs of a foreign country and the ancient charm of a long history.
Cairo is one of the few ancient cities in the world that has suffered the least damage from war, with a continuous history of 5,000 years, and is not only the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Egypt, but also the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. Straddling the Nile River, Cairo is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the entire Middle East, located in the northeast of Egypt and at the southern end of the Nile Delta.
Su Ruilin and his entourage successfully arrived at the Ritz-Carlton five-star luxury hotel on the Nile River in Cairo that was booked in the center of Cairo, between the Nile River and Tahrir Square, adjacent to the Egyptian Museum, under the pick-up and drop-off of the Maybach S-class convoy specially arranged by the booked hotel. Otherwise, even if the average price is 1,500 yuan per person per night, including the presidential suite and the Ritz-Carlton suite, which is as high as 7,000 yuan per night, the five-star hotel will be so full that they can't find a room, just like the tourists from all over the world and different skin colors behind Su Ruilin and his party, they know from the way they dress and dress that they are definitely masters of high status or luxury status, but they can only reluctantly change to other hotels, because they are already full.
Su Ruilin and his party have a total of eight people, and he has already chartered eight top suites with great wealth, but Mu Kong said that he and Mu Nianci can live in one room, otherwise he will not worry about her, so Su Ruilin can only show a regretful expression and return one, and then make a favor to a white tourist in a suit and leather shoes, at a glance, he knew that it was a white tourist who came out to work, and the handsome white tourist thanked him again and again, and left his contact number, asking Su Ruilin if he could accept the invitation to have a meal these days, Su Ruilin looked kind and amiable, He said that he didn't have to be polite, it was just a trivial matter, but he knew in his heart that this favor sent out by pushing the boat out of the river would not be given away in vain, and he could see that the executives brought by Su Ruilin secretly admired it in his heart, and he was worthy of being the company's big boss, and it was really comfortable to treat people and things, and it was not leaky.
Su Ruilin's seven top suites are as high as 50,000 yuan per night even if they don't include other additional costs, and they are still discounted with the Centurion Black Gold Card, which makes the dark-skinned hostess at the front desk show a positive look.
As soon as the money comes out, don't say it's a ghost pushing a grind, let the grind push a ghost.
"The rooms at this hotel are spacious and stylish, and there is a work desk, TV, coffee machine, and a private bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and walk-in shower, and there are more than nine restaurants and bars nearby, as well as a fitness center around the clock, a luxurious spa, and a sunny outdoor pool all year round, and most importantly, we are short of all the time, and this hotel is only 25 kilometers from Cairo Airport, and the surrounding transportation is also well-developed, so it is easy to arrive and leave this hotel. It is arguably the highest rated hotel in my mind in the whole of Egypt. Su Ruilin smiled at everyone while distributing the room card handed by the front desk and explained the reason why he chose this hotel, so that all the executives showed an expression of admiration without hesitation, and one of the most appreciated henchmen executives in Su Ruilin was the right time to take a good look at the back, with a thumbs up in his hand, saying that the boss has a good vision, it is really an honor for me to have such a leader, and the company is very lucky, so that Su Ruilin smiled and couldn't close his mouth.
Su Ying didn't feel too much, she wasn't a greedy person for pleasure, even a wooden bed surrounded by a stone wall could sleep soundly, as long as the walls weren't leaking from all sides, and her real thoughts on this trip weren't on what hotel she wanted to stay in, or what kind of superior treatment she would enjoy.
It was already evening, and it happened to be the opening time of the restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, Nile, Cairo, so Su Ruilin and his party arrived at their respective rooms under the guidance of several well-dressed hotel waiters, asked the waiters to bring their luggage and put it away, and then gathered at the Bab El Sharq restaurant in the hotel. Bab El Sharq's Middle Eastern and local dinners are served with a dazzling array of desserts that Mu Nianci exclaimed, "These never-before-seen and unheard of dishes are not only beautiful, but also fragrant and outstanding, and when combined with the soft lighting, sophisticated backdrop and tranquil ambience of the venue, this meal is a sensation. Everyone began to feast, especially Mu Nianci who was eating so much that he was addicted, and after provoking Su Ruilin and others at the other table to laugh for a while, Mu Nianci scratched his head embarrassedly, showing a look of shame, and then laughed with a grin.
After the meal, Mu Kong took Mu Nianci to the children's playground in the hotel to play, and Su Ruilin went to rest early, he also had to prepare for a meeting with his partners tomorrow, and when he left, he also told his company executives to rest early, and tomorrow they had to meet with some local government officials to discuss cooperation projects. Some went to the Ritz Bar in the restaurant to get drunk or have a sexual encounter, some went to the leisure and fitness center for a spa, and some went to the indoor casino and games room to relax.
Su Ying also went back to her presidential suite, she and her temporary father Su Ruilin said that she would take Mu Nianci and Mu Kong to the surrounding attractions tomorrow, and not follow your itinerary, Su Ruilin nodded, and then gave Su Ying a thick stack of Egyptian pounds and a credit card with a limit of two million yuan, and suggested that Su Ying could go to the Egyptian Museum near here or the Giza pyramids not far away to visit, Su Ruilin finally reminded Su Ying not to approach the "Karafa" cemetery group, as its nickname " Cairo's City of the Dead "is generally an ominous place, and because it is a slum, it has poor security and a lot of criminal activity.
Su Ying took the elevator that revealed luxury everywhere to the top floor, and then swiped her card to enter her luxurious and spacious presidential suite.
Su Ying took off her clothes, revealing her white jade body, first took a hot bath in the independent bathroom, and after taking the bath, she walked out wrapped in a bath towel, turned on the embedded TV on the wall, and casually watched some local channels that spoke French, English and Arabic, and turned off the TV after feeling that she was not interested, and brewed a cup of coffee with the coffee machine equipped in the presidential suite that was highly rated on the Internet for this hotel, and then walked to the viewing balcony specially equipped with the presidential suite, From the balcony of this Presidential Suite, you can see the 187-meter-high Cairo Tower, which glistens in the dark of night in the distance, guarding Cairo like a majestic giant.
Although Egypt is dry and rainless, the Nile Delta and the northern coastal region have a subtropical Mediterranean climate, so the climate is relatively mild, and the Ritz-Carlton, Cairo Nile is even more pleasant at night.
The refreshing cool night breeze blows slowly, the wide Nile River sparkles under the light on the shore, Su Ying admires the beautiful scenery along the Nile, and at night, there are hotel guests walking or chatting under the colorful lights, or swimming in the outdoor pool.
The night wind suddenly became stronger, and some of the summer blooming flowers under the viewing balcony were swayed by the wind, and some petals that were separated from the flower body were constantly fluttering with the wind, first in a straight line, and then flying up and down, swirling left and right, full of poetry, Su Ying especially noticed this, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, as if a long-standing problem had finally been solved, so a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I see."
Su Ying, who was physically and mentally comfortable, suddenly looked up at the starry night sky, and at this moment she thought of a certain stupid melon, so she sighed lightly, and she didn't know how he was doing in J City, whether he had encountered an unsolvable crisis or an unsolvable difficulty, and whether it was a little inappropriate to leave him alone in J City like this, after all, he was not able to take charge of himself now.
I don't know when, Su Ying found that she seemed to like Liu Mo.
But Su Ying was a little depressed, the confession should be done by the boy, but Liu Mo didn't confess to himself for a long time, did he not like himself?
"Liu Mo, you're really a fool." Su Ying puffed out her cheeks and sulked a little.
Then Su Ying remembered Sydney, who had left the organization, and didn't know if she was happy after returning to the family, Su Ying always faintly felt that something should have happened to Sydney's family, otherwise why would she come to look for Sydney and her sister to bring back to the family now? However, Su Ying believes that Sydney can handle it smoothly with her own ability, because she is the eldest sister of the Iron Triangle where she was at the beginning.
Su Ying took a sip of the mellow coffee in the cup, and then looked to the south, in the direction where the Giza pyramids were located, and she suddenly remembered some information she had inquired about during the day.
"On April 17, 2007, Cairo, the capital of Egypt, was hit by the largest sandstorm in the 21st century. Cairo International Airport was also affected, closed for more than four hours. The city of Cairo is even more windy, the yellow sand is everywhere, and the sandstorm has also caused a number of traffic accidents in the city of Cairo, and some people have also been hospitalized for respiratory discomfort. ”
Su Ying's foxy eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sense of vigilance and coldness in her eyes.
