Chapter 290: The Peninsula Hotel
Hong Kong Island is a world-renowned international metropolis, the world's third largest financial center after New York and London, and has the reputation of "Oriental Pearl".
The whole territory of Hong Kong Island is composed of four parts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, New Territories, and Outlying Islands, with an area of about 1,000 square kilometers.
In addition to its relatively developed economy, Hong Kong Island is more striking about its wealthy community and its thriving entertainment industry.
The so-called ten richest people are still the most influential families in the Chinese circle, and those Hong Kong stars are still active on various TV stations in the mainland.
However, it is undeniable that with the rise of Shenzhen and Shanghai in the mainland, the location of Hong Kong Island has gradually become less important, and it has a downward trend.
Among the Chinese billionaires on the list of the richest people, newcomers from the mainland emerge in endlessly, such as Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Wang Jianlin, etc., but after so many years, the richest people on Hong Kong Island are basically still those of the last century.
At the same time, there is also a more representative performance, that is, its entertainment industry is also gradually declining.
In the last century and the past few years, the so-called Hong Kong stars were all angry, even if they were a third-rate young actor, they went to the mainland, felt that they were superior, and they were even better than the emperor, and they looked down on the actors and crew members in the mainland.
But you look at the present.
So, this is a declining cosmopolitan city, and its location is not as important as it used to be.
The distance from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island is about 1,500 kilometers, and it only takes three hours to fly by plane.
After the plane landed, Lin Xuan and Xia Lin went straight out of the ordinary exit, only to see that there were people of all races who spoke various languages around the airport hall, whites, blacks, and yellows, worthy of being an international metropolis.
The life festival on Hong Kong Island is much faster than that in the mainland, so everyone here is in a hurry, and no one notices the seemingly ordinary Lin Xuan, but there are many men peeking at Xia Xuan beside Lin Xuan
Xia Xuan's other style of beauty has both a woman's softness and a boy's heroism, and the lines on her face are very soft and look amazing.
Moreover, she was originally a person from Guoan, and it is estimated that she has not been exercised less, and she is in good shape, full of thrilling bodybuilding power between her gestures, giving people a very healthy and sunny feeling.
Strangely, her skin was also very good, as clear and round as jade, and there was not a trace of powder on her face, but she looked even more stunning than those women who had finished wearing makeup.
When I was in the cabin of the plane just now, several men came to talk to her, but she politely refused.
Lin Xuan could see that Xia Xuan seemed to have some faint resistance to men.
And he could see at a glance that Xia Xuan seemed to be practicing a kind of exercise, which is why her skin was so good. It's not martial arts exercises, it's somewhat similar to immortal cultivation exercises. But it is infinitely simpler.
"Could this be the Taoist practice that has been handed down in China? ”
Lin Xuan was faintly skeptical.
The cultivators he had seen before were only Chen Beixuan, the young master and the master of the Golden Corpse Sect, and Gu Qingcang, but their cultivation methods were not the right path, they were all crooked and evil ways that were cultivated with the help of ghost qi and corpse qi.
Only Gu Qingcang is still reliable, but the True Yuan Martial Artist in his body is not much stronger.
But the true element in Xia Xuan's body already has the rudiments of the spiritual power of an immortal cultivator.
This is a strange thing.
However, the gap between the true element in her body, whether it is quality or quantity, and Lin Xuan, can be described as a world of difference.
If it is divided according to the realm of cultivators on the earth, her strength is probably in the second realm mage, and according to the division of spiritual realm cultivators, she is probably barely a rookie at the first level of qi refining.
Lin Xuan didn't think much about it, after all, the items he found before showed that there was once an immortal cultivation civilization on the earth, and it was not strange that some exercises had been handed down.
Under the guidance of Xia Xuan, Lin Xuan went out from the exit of the airport and got into a black Audi car.
Guoan also has a branch on Hong Kong Island, and has long arranged for people to pick up the airport.
Shi Xinyue originally wanted to stop Lin Xuan to see if the two could go together, or if they had time, they could make an appointment to play together.
But because Lu Xinyao still had to pick up the checked luggage, she could only watch the black Audi slowly disappear in front of her eyes.
Lu Xinyao looked at Shi Xinyue, who was a little unwilling, and her heart was the same as that of Spiegel, but she pretended that nothing had happened, and stretched out her hand to stop a taxi.
Shi Xinyue glanced at Lu Xinyao meaningfully. Reluctantly, he got into the taxi, slammed the door shut.
"Master, go to The Peninsula. ”
The taxi started slowly and drove slowly towards The Peninsula Hotel.
This is Lu Xinyao's first time on Hong Kong Island, and originally invited her mentor to this academic activity, but it happened that the tutor was going to scream at the expert seminar organized by the Ministry of Finance, so the tutor asked her to represent herself in this academic forum.
My first impression of Hong Kong Island is that the buildings here are so tall and very dense, with skyscrapers crammed together like matchboxes.
This is due to the geographical environment of Hong Kong Island, in this small area, there are nearly seven or eight million people living in this small area, and there is so much land available on Hong Kong Island that there is no way to build buildings higher and higher.
According to statistics, more than half of the world's tallest 100-odd skyscrapers are on Hong Kong Island.
The taxi was moving slowly, but the atmosphere in the car was a little weird, no one spoke to anyone, even the driver felt the subtle atmosphere of the two women in the back seat of the car.
I don't know how long it took, Shi Xinyue suddenly turned her head and said coldly: "Cousin, how did you meet Lin Xuan?"
The head teacher in the university can't see each other twice a year, except for the class committee and a few students who love to pick thorns, the others can't be named, and they probably don't know each other when they meet.
What's more, Lin Xuan has just transferred over. And Lu Xinyao's tone of voice and demeanor and eyes all indicate that her relationship with reason is not ordinary.
This question was buried in Shi Xinyue's heart from the beginning, and she really couldn't help it at this time, so she asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that when he went through the transfer procedures, he met a few times. ”
"That's right. Shi Xinyue was suspicious, paused for a moment, and asked, "Then what do you think of him?"
Lu Xinyao's heart suddenly rose, and she said what did this little girl want to do.
"It's okay, it looks pretty honest. ”
What she actually wants to say is that this person is very good, a rare good man.
After all, if he hadn't saved himself at the beginning, he would have been in danger at the door of the nightclub.
And after that, he borrowed the strength of the wine, and the sullenness caused by being dumped, and deliberately ** him, but he didn't expect that in the end he was indifferent, put himself in the hotel, and left on his own.
In fact, to be honest, she has a good impression of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan is different from the boys in the school who have not grown up, on the contrary, he gives her the feeling that he is a man, a man who has matured.
Only a woman like her who has experienced some things understands that it doesn't matter if a man is good-looking or not, it doesn't matter if he has money, and it doesn't matter if he has knowledge and talent.
Otherwise, no matter how rich, handsome, and talented he is, he will eventually become another woman's man.
As long as he matures and understands responsibility, even if he is down at this time, there will always be a day when he will stand up.
In her heart, such a man is the most attractive.
Shi Xinyue said with a smile: "Really, you think the same way, it's really good." ”
"Hmmm, I think so, what do you mean?"
Before Lu Xinyao could figure it out, Shi Xinyue told her the answer.
"I'm in love with Lin Xuan, and I want him to be my boyfriend. ”
"So possible!!" Lu Xinyao asked categorically like a big cat with its tail stepped on, "Don't you joke with me anymore." ”
"Cousin, do I still need to lie to you about this, I really like him and want to be his girlfriend. ”
"But this..."Lu Xinyao seemed to want to say something.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I think we're a good match. ”
Shi Xinyue asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's quite... Perfectly matched. ”
"Hee-hee, cousin. Then you must give me more ideas. ”
Lu Xinyao was afraid that Shi Xinyue would see her abnormality, so she nodded, then turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the car window.
For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable just now, as if her own things had been snatched away.
Seeing Lu Xinyao's appearance, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Shi Xinyue's mouth.
......
"How is this possible, aren't you mistaken?"
At the front desk of the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel, Lu Xinyao's tone was a little unkind.
The woman in a black professional suit at the front desk smiled: "This lady, I'm really sorry, our hotel is hosting an important event recently, and it is temporarily closed to the public. ”
"But we've already booked a room. ”
Lu Xinyao is making a final effort.
"I'm really sorry, our hotel will compensate you for the inconvenience, and I will also help you contact other hotels. ”
At this moment, Shi Xinyue saw Lin Xuan and Xia Xuan, who had just walked into the elevator, and was startled at first, and immediately pointed to their figures and asked, "How can they get in?"
"They are the guests of our hotel and the invitees to this event. ”
The woman replied politely, still smiling.
The Peninsula is one of the top hotels on Hong Kong Island, with the cheapest room costing more than 5,000 RMB a day.
The reason why they are so extravagant this time is because this time to participate in the academic forum is at public expense.
But they didn't expect to encounter this situation, and the whole hotel was chartered.
Really TM has money.
"What kind of event are you holding here?" Shi Xinyue asked as she looked at the elevator door that had been closed.
She said in her heart, why is this Lin Xuan so mysterious, the mayor's secretary was respectful to him last time, and this time he mysteriously went to Hong Kong Island to participate in some activities.
What exactly is he?
"Sorry, this is the privacy of the guests and we can't disclose it. ”
Shi Xinyue just wanted to get angry, but was interrupted by Lu Xinyao: "Forget it, let's find another hotel." ”
Shi Xinyue stomped her feet and said, "Really, what's the big deal, if you don't say it, I'll know, do you see it, the man who went in just now is my friend, a very good friend." ”
After speaking, she dragged her suitcase and followed Lu Xinyao away.
