Chapter 63: The disgraced Ning family
Looking at this bloated crowd that was no different from what he remembered, Ye Yi couldn't help but think of his past life.
In the previous life, she lived hard in the melting pot of HK, and until she was twenty years old, she only had the opportunity to come to the self-help mountain with the Ning family for a good meal during the New Year's holiday.
At that time, she even felt that the self-service mountain revolving restaurant was a step above the Peninsula Hotel!
But because of the fence, every time he came to self-help mountain for dinner, Ye Yi was ordered to stay in his seat to show the Ning family the position.
The three members of the Ning family were looting their favorite food in front of the buffet counter, but she could only share the little extra leftovers on their plates.
Adolescent children are inevitably greedy for food, but Ye Yi does not dare to eat and drink recklessly even when she comes to Self-Help Mountain, because the Ning family always laughs at her as their pastime:
After eating too much, they scolded her for being reincarnated as a starving ghost; Eating less, they blamed her for not getting the meal back!
Perhaps in the eyes of the Ning family, Ye Yi will always be just a cheap maid brought back from the mainland by the Ning family, cheaper and cheaper than the Filipino maid. No matter what she has done for them or how well she has done it, it should be!
Ye Yi followed the flow of people into the cafeteria.
As in previous lives, the buffet counter was packed with diners who wanted to eat enough in two hours, arguing and arguing, and the whole restaurant was so messy that it was not possible to hear face-to-face.
Ye Yi only took himself a cup of dessert and sat by the window, looking at the scenery below.
As the restaurant turns, the scenery of Victoria Harbour flows into Ye Yi's field of vision like a marquee.
Every grass and tree, every mountain and every water is exactly the same as in the previous life, but it is completely different.
The mountain is expensive, the water is rich, but HK is two.
HK is located in the Lingnan Mountains, which form a feng shui pattern of "Kowloon going to the sea" in the New Territories. Kowloon's original momentum was steady and magnificent, but in the New Territories, it paused to settle down, echoing the pattern of the "Double Lions Playing Ball" on the main island of Hong Kong and the pattern of the "Phoenix Returning to the Nest" on Lantau Island, forming a rare feng shui Quaker of yin and yang, and the main fortune is prosperous.
In addition, nearly half of the water vapor in the Pearl River is contained in Victoria Harbour.
Victoria Harbour is one of the world's three major natural harbours, with an ingenious pattern, blocked by mountains on both sides of the east and west, which just happens to converge the water vapor of HK Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
And HK's wealth comes from this cornucopia.
However, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be open and secret battles.
Following the angle of the revolving restaurant, Ye Yi saw HSBC built in the treasure land of "Tianma Drink".
After the completion of HSBC, in order to prevent new buildings from blocking the pattern in front of the building, HSBC simply bought the entire land in front of the building to the HK ferry terminal and built it into a park to maintain the feng shui advantage.
Perhaps it is really the power of the dragon's lair, HSBC has been operating exceptionally well since its completion, and its performance has been booming until-
Bank of China Tower completed!
At that time, due to some reasons that could not be put on the surface, the Bank of China Tower was only built in a very small location in Central and a small part of the traffic was poor, and the construction budget was only 130 million US dollars. However, the Bank of China Tower invited international architects to design, and built a 300-meter-high artwork with mushrooming shapes!
However, in the eyes of HSBC Tower, this ingenious design is a sharp knife that is shining with cold light, and the blade is pointed directly at HSBC, which not only takes advantage of feng shui, but also destroys HSBC's luxury.
Since then, the feng shui war in Victoria Harbour has begun.
In order to avoid the bad luck brought by sharp knives, HSBC creatively erected two "cannons" on the roof of the building, forming a pattern of "sword and cannon battle" with Bank of China;
The Citi Tower, built next to the Bank of China Tower, adopts the design of a book-opening page, with the opening corresponding to the sharp corners of the Bank of China Tower to block the murderous atmosphere.
The Yangtze River Building, which is still under construction, is unfortunately sandwiched between the two buildings of HSBC and Bank of China, and chooses to completely sacrifice the appearance and design the building in the shape of four shields, which is impermeable like a fortress, and the height is also deliberately to avoid the position of guns!
Ye Yi in the previous life didn't understand these feng shui exquisiteness, and regarded the feng shui battle behind the building as a topic of conversation after dinner, but in this life, it is ......
Ye Yi turned his head, ready to add some ice cream to himself.
At this moment, a middle-aged bloated woman rushed over with her skinny husband in tow, followed by her impatient son.
"Son! There's a seat available here! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
The son was very helpless, and pointed to Ye Yi, who was watching the scenery by the window, and said, "Mom, there is someone in this position!" ”
The woman hurriedly apologized to Ye Yi: "I'm sorry, sir! Let's find another location! ”
"No, sit down!"
Ye Yi stood up and gave up his position to a family of three who rarely came to the self-help mountain for a luxurious time.
The middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed, and thanked Ye Yi again and again: "Sir, you are really a good person!" Otherwise, ...... with us."
"It's okay, I've already finished eating."
Ye Yi said politely and left the buffet mountain revolving restaurant.
Looking at the back of the young man in white who was out of place with his surroundings, the man said to his wife, who was busy setting the plates: "Wife, I don't look like he came to the self-catering mountain for dinner at all!" Is it ......?"
"Probably which writer is coming to experience life?"
Zhou Dayi took the plate handed by his mother and placed it on the table.
……
……
When he left the restaurant, Ye Yi's eyes were a little moist.
When she got off the plane, she had a hunch that she would meet an old acquaintance in Self-help Mountain, but she didn't expect to meet -
Zhou Changgui and Xia Dongmei, and their son Zhou Dayi.
In the previous life, the Zhou family and the Ning family were originally neighbors.
The Zhou family has a lap-mei shop, which is opened downstairs in the Ning family's company, and every time Ye Yi goes to work in the Ning family's company, he always has to pass by in front of the Zhou family's lap-mei shop, and he is also an old acquaintance with the Zhou family.
Zhou's husband and wife have honest personalities, and they have never lacked catties or two pounds for 20 years, so although Zhou's lap-mei shop is full of good products, it can only barely keep its capital. The Ning couple also looked down on them, thinking that they were too stupid and born poor.
Ye Yi likes the Zhou family, because their family is the only local on the whole street who doesn't look down on her because she is a mainland girl, and Zhou Dayi has also beaten and scolded her boys.
Later, Ning's company moved into the office building, and the Zhou couple bought a flower basket to send it to celebrate Ning's housewarming.
However, the flower basket was thrown out by the Ning family and his wife just after it was delivered, and Shen Manwen pointed at Zhou Dayi's nose and scolded: "You are embarrassed to send such a small flower basket, isn't it a shame!" ”
However, even the workers who were hired by the Ning family to move things felt that it was Shen Manwen who was really ashamed at that moment.
