Chapter 24: Chinese New Year's Eve (Middle)
Walking into the Grand Hyatt Jinmao Hotel, the 56-story large atrium, 152 meters high, and more than 20 golden light and shadow corridors suddenly calmed He Handan and brought her an incomparably shocking experience.
She pulled the white fawn, "Fawn, it's so beautiful here!" Heck, this time I came with you to watch the fireworks, and I can finally enjoy it! Don't worry, I'm very conscious, absolutely not a light bulb, not bad for your good things! ”
Bai Xiaolu felt that He Handan was a plastic sister flower, and was very helpless, "Sister, did you betray me so easily?" You're still ready to wait for me to become a star and be my assistant, just an assistant like you, I'll open one a day! ”
Zheng Wentong ignored the frolicking of their sisters and asked the hotel waiter to take them to the room.
The presidential suite of Grand Hyatt is not large, that is, about 180 square meters, which is about the same size as the Peninsula and Waldorf Astoria executive suites.
But fortunately, it has just been renovated this year, and from the furniture, decoration and artwork, it is full of strong Chinese style.
The door opens to a large spacious living room with a beautiful view of the Pujiang River and Puxi, and it is also the best place to watch the sunset and fireworks show.
In the evening, the golden sunset shines on Puxi, the river surface is glittering, and the cruise ships passing by from time to time are beautiful.
Zheng Wentong sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, and Bai Xiaolu and He Handan stood side by side in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows watching the sunset.
He Handan couldn't suppress his curiosity, "Mr. Zheng, I want to ask, how much does this kind of presidential suite cost for a night?" ”
"My side is a member price, twenty or thirty thousand, what's wrong? Are you ready to pay out of pocket? He took out three bottles of drinks from the minibar, and then handed them to Bai Xiaolu and He Handan.
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, but I can mortgage the fawn to you." He Handan joked.
Bai Xiaolu was angry, "Okay, you ate me, used mine, and slept with me yesterday, but today you actually want to sell me, you white-eyed wolf." ”
After watching the sunset, the two of them began to tour the room, on the left is the dining room and kitchen, the dining room has a Chinese dining table that can seat 6 people, and the minibar is in the kitchen.
On the right is the large bedroom, with two 1.8-meter-high executive beds arranged side by side, sleeping four adults no problem.
He Handan ran to Bailu's ear and whispered, and looked at Zheng Wentong with strange eyes, which inevitably caused Bailu to be beaten, "What nonsense, he is not such a person." ”
The three of them rested in the hotel room for two hours and then went downstairs to eat. The taste and quality of the food can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but the people who come here to eat mainly want to experience the environment.
He Handan originally wanted to go to the hotel's swimming pool to experience it, but the pool was densely populated, just like dumplings, so he immediately dispelled the idea.
The three of them went downstairs to the riverside for a walk, blowing the wind, and chatting together.
He Handan and Bai Xiaolu are both only children, so they are quite envious of Zheng Wentong having an older brother.
Zheng Wentong said that he and his brother are only two years apart, and they often fought when they were children, so having multiple brothers may not be a blessing. In the first month of next year, my brother will get married in his hometown, and he has to go back to help pick up his relatives.
Zheng Wentong and they met many acquaintances by the riverside, Xu Ru and her husband, Yu Qiao and her best friend, Jiang Nan and Meng Qian got together.
Xu Ru was very happy to greet Bai Xiaolu and them, because everyone brought female companions, so they didn't talk much.
Yu Qiao and Zheng Yaqing greeted Mr. Zheng together, and she and her best friend left first.
But the little girl's voice was a little loud, "Yaqing, I'm not wrong, right?" Is Zheng always a girlfriend very beautiful? I suspect that Zheng always planned this fireworks show specifically for her girlfriend. ”
Bai Xiaolu and He Handan looked at Zheng Wentong, and he touched his nose weakly, "It's not like this, it's mainly to make the subsidiary famous and attract external investors." ”
"Let me tell you, not long after the establishment of Puhai Interconnection, an investment company in Yanjing City invested 2 million yuan."
He Handan questioned, "But 2 million, I'm afraid it's not enough to even set off fireworks, right?" ”
"When investors invest in a company, they need to be patient to accompany the company's growth. If we spend millions of dollars planning a fireworks show today to make the company's fame out, then tomorrow the company's valuation will skyrocket. ”
"The money invested in front will be earned back from other aspects, besides, I don't have a girlfriend, how can I plan a fireworks show for my girlfriend?"
He Handan felt that Mr. Zheng didn't understand the amorous feelings, so it was better to generously admit that he had prepared a fireworks show for Bai Xiaolu, maybe Bai Xiaolu would be moved and promise tonight.
The sky is getting dark, and there are more and more tourists on both sides of the Pujiang River. Quiet. The bureau monitored in real time that the flow of people on both sides of the strait began to grow rapidly, and traffic control began to be implemented in the Xiaolujiazui area and Zhongshan East Road, and people and vehicles were separated.
People on duty. Police and Wu. The police have begun to be in place, Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street Wu. The police body is used as a parapet to protect tourists from passing through the intersection in an orderly manner and going to the next location.
Zheng Wentong asked Bai Xiaolu if the two of them would like to go to the IFC or Super Brand Mall, where there are also some New Year celebrations.
He Handan said that she would not go, and planned to stay in the river beach to play for a while, wanting to meet a single little brother.
I finally came over, if I was a light bulb for too long, I was afraid of annoyance, and when she was tired of playing, she would go back to the suite to take a bath.
She loved the bathroom just now, with a walk-in closet, two vanities facing the view, and a dry steam room. The best thing is the big bathtub with a view of the river, she can soak in the bath while looking out the window, and she wants to experience it as soon as she enters the room.
"You should go shopping for a long time and come back on time to watch the fireworks show in the evening." Even on New Year's Eve, she didn't want to see Bai Xiaolu and President Zheng join forces to abuse dogs.
Bai Xiaolu also wanted to be alone with Zheng Wentong for a while, Zheng Wentong was wearing a red down jacket from Bosideng today, and Bai Xiaolu was wearing a white down jacket.
Bai Xiaolu was walking on the side of the road, "Lao Zheng, do you know? My first wish after working was to earn a lot of money and buy my mom a big house. ”
"Like me, after I started a company here, I bought a homestead for my parents in our hometown. Then a four-story building was built, and the house has been built, and when it is renovated, it will be ready to move in after the Spring Festival. Zheng Wentong can understand Bai Xiaolu's mood.
"I'm actually very obsessed with Korean dramas, and I can watch a bloody drama like this when a domineering president falls in love with me."
"But if you really spend millions to plan such a fireworks show for me, I may be moved at first, but afterwards I am very uncomfortable."
"Because the money you spend overnight may allow me to earn it for ten years, and millions of dollars can buy a very good house in Hangzhou."
"Can this kind of relationship piled up with money still be love? I hope that the relationship between us can be a little more pure and not mixed with too much money. It's good to have money, of course, but didn't you say before that you want to use it to do something more meaningful? ”
Bai Xiaolu didn't hide it, and directly said her feelings.
Zheng Wentong took Bai Xiaolu's little hand and pulled her to the pedestrian bridge in Lujiazui.
"At the beginning of August, I returned to China to start my own business. The first employee of Slope Capital is Jiang Nan, by the way, you added her WeChat. ”
"I didn't know what I could do at the time, when she was drinking in the open air on the 14th floor of the Peninsula and sitting next to me."
"On a whim, I went to chat with her, 'Believe it or not, if you have five years at most, I will buy a building here in Lujiazui and name it after my company'!"
Bai Xiaolu didn't interject and quietly listened to Zheng Wentong tell the story.
"Jiang Nan was mentally ill, so I created Slope Capital, and then recruited her, at first there were only the two of us and Aunt Cleaning Tao."
"As of the end of December, the company has a total of 67 employees, and the salary paid to employees is more than 1.5 million per month."
"The operating cost of this fireworks show is 4 million, which is actually a reasonable expenditure that can be borne by Slope Capital."
Zheng Wentong did not count the huge promotion expenses of 6 million, nor did he count the loss of the valuation of the shares that were forced to buy shares in the Stock Connect.
"This summer, I had a long dream, in which I dreamed that this year's light show was cancelled and there was no big celebration in the Bund Scenic Area, but the tourists didn't know about it, and no one informed them, so they spontaneously went to the Bund to celebrate the New Year."
"As a result, the people inside wanted to come out, and the people outside wanted to go in, so a crowd hedged and finally someone fell, so I woke up from my dream."
Bai Xiaolu covered her mouth in surprise, she felt that Zheng Wentong's expression was filled with indescribable sadness.
She hugged Zheng Wentong distressedly and wrapped her hands around his back, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, we don't have to worry about what didn't happen." ”
"Is that why you can't sleep at all? That's why you want me to accompany you to Happy Valley? ”
Bai Xiaolu's chin rested on Zheng Wentong's shoulder, and the bodies of the two people were close to each other. Obviously it was just a dream, but she could clearly feel the sadness in Zheng Wentong's heart.
"If there is any unexpected event on Chinese New Year's Eve, not only this year, but from now on, there may be no large-scale New Year celebrations."
"I saw Puhai at the APEC summit in 2001 on station B, when the fireworks were brilliant and colorful."
"I don't want these post-00s and post-10s children to grow up in their memories, and only in the video can they feel the fireworks in life, I want to see a Chinese New Year with bright lights and fireworks."
"I believe that today must be a peaceful, happy and happy New Year." White Fawn was sure.
