Chapter 072 [Deep Sniff]
At the beginning of late August, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun embarked on a trip to Europe.
With the expansion of his career, Lin Zhichao's career cannot be limited to Hong Kong, so he has to go abroad often; So it's useless to worry about the safety of the plane, because he doesn't have a choice.
This time, he went abroad for an inspection because Cheung Kong Real Estate has no new projects, and Cheung Kong Silver has been handed over to Lee Shau Kee for management, and Cheung Kong needs new development opportunities to reach a higher level; Otherwise, Cheung Kong can only not retreat.
Before leaving, Lin Zhichao still arranged everything at the lawyer in accordance with the usual practice, just in case.
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Song, don't worry, I will take care of Caiyun!" Standing outside the arcade, Lin Zhichao was saying goodbye to his family.
Tang Zhongyuan and Song Qiaoling are not stupid, they have already understood that their daughter has been dead set on Lin Zhichao; So it is self-evident what will happen to the two of them going abroad this time.
Although before leaving, Song Qiaoling vaguely reminded Tang Caiyun to pay attention to the girl's honor, but the couple was still very worried.
Fortunately, the wedding of the two has been scheduled for January next year, and many friends have been invited.
So even if there is anything, it is not that it cannot be completely accepted, otherwise the two of them would not allow Tang Caiyun to follow.
"You are calm and knowledgeable, and you are proficient in various Chinese, I am very relieved to have you take care of Caiyun!"
Tang Zhongyuan couldn't get up in front of Lin Zhichao, after all, Lin Zhichao was the backer of his career. In particular, once the zipper factory expands again, he has already thought of the prospect of his textile factory also expanding.
He has two sons, so the career is important, probably more important than the daughter.
Song Qiaoling came to Tang Caiyun's side, the mother and daughter talked quietly for a few words, and then Tang Caiyun came to Lin Zhichao's side with a slightly red face.
Lin Zhichao also said goodbye to his family, just to let Wu Wenying and Lin Xin'er not worry.
Soon, Lin Zhichao pulled Tang Caiyun into the car and drove towards the Central Wharf.
.......
Day 3.
What was Britain like in 1948?
Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun, who were sitting in the taxi, were curiously observing the traces of shell attacks during World War II and the buildings being rebuilt, all of which were being carried out in an orderly manner.
Since London had just finished hosting the Olympic Games, the breath of post-war healing could be clearly felt, and women and children on the roads no longer worried about bombing.
Of course, none of this could stop the fall of the British Empire, and as the colonies became self-reliant, the economy of Britain did not develop well.
According to Lin Zhichao's memory, the pound will depreciate by 30% in September next year. Due to the declining economic strength of the United Kingdom, the worsening inflation, the long-term deficit in the balance of payments, the serious capital outflow, and the sharp decline in foreign exchange reserves, the credit of the pound has deteriorated. And through the depreciation of the pound, the competitiveness of British exports can be strengthened.
The depreciation of the pound naturally means the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, because the Hong Kong dollar at this time is pegged to the British pound, and a fixed exchange rate of 16:1 is implemented.
"Brother Zhichao, the security environment here seems to be very safe!" Tang Caiyun looked at the harmonious picture of women and children on the street, and couldn't help but sigh.
As Hong Kong's population grew, so did the crime rate, and there were cases of J being killed on the street. Coupled with Lin Zhiyue's actions to protect his family, Tang Caiyun felt that the environment in Hong Kong began to become worse and worse.
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "At present, the security environment in London is not good, the city is full of cheap guns, these guns are brought back from overseas, American GIs sell one for only 25 pounds, and British soldiers also get a lot from overseas." Add to that the widespread resentment of shortages, the rampant black market, etc., so what you see is always superficial. When you're away from home, you still need to be careful. ”
Although he will not let Tang Caiyun go out alone, the vaccination still has to be done.
Sure enough, Tang Caiyun was frightened, and then held Lin Zhichao's arm, the softness made Lin Zhichao's heart shake, looking forward to the life of the night.
"If I follow you, won't it be safe!" Tang Caiyun whispered.
This is an intuition, as long as she sticks to Lin Zhichao, her fear has disappeared.
Lin Zhi said supernaturally gentlemanly: "Of course! I'll protect you! "Scaring girls first, and then intervening as a white samurai is a trick that men have tried and tested.
Since the two of them avoided trouble, they both used English to communicate so as not to be overly discriminated against by the locals.
Therefore, after hearing Lin Zhichao's words, the taxi driver said: "This gentleman, I think Britain is very safe, as for the problems you mentioned, although they do exist, but since this year, the crime rate in London has begun to decline." In particular, we held the Olympic Games, which symbolized 'peace', and London was already very safe at this time. Of course, I hope you have a great trip! ”
Lin Zhichao naturally didn't argue, after all, he didn't want to get into trouble, and immediately said: "That's really good, in fact, I'm here to do business." ”
This is good for improving your status!
"We in the UK are a country founded on business, and you will definitely reap the rewards."
After a brief chat with the taxi, they arrived at their destination.
Taxis stop at the Langham Hotel in the Mayfair area, a luxury hotel in the upper neighbourhood that pioneered many hotels – the first to install electric lights, the first to offer hot and cold water in Europe, and the first to install elevators.
Everything went smoothly and nothing unpleasant happened.
Putting his luggage on the ground floor of the hotel room, Lin Zhichao checked the hotel room, which was his habit.
What's more, in this hotel room, he and Tang Caiyun have to experience the first time in their lives.
After everything was fine, Lin Zhichao came to Tang Caiyun's side like a gentleman.
"Ma'am, do you need a hot bath?"
Tang Caiyun nodded shyly and said, "Hmm"
Next, everything was very gentlemanly, Lin Zhichao did not do anything excessive, on the contrary, he took care of Tang Caiyun very well.
in the bathroom.
Tang Caiyun showed a shy look on her face while taking a bath, thinking of coming out with Brother Zhichao this time, she was both expectant and shy.
"Brother Zhichao is so charming!"
"Sure enough, if it wasn't for my father taking his family to Hong Kong for refuge, I wouldn't have met Brother Zhichao."
"Tang Caiyun, Tang Caiyun, didn't you miss the magic capital at the beginning?"
Thinking of this, Tang Caiyun showed a happy smile and was very grateful to her father for bringing her to Hong Kong.
Soon, she thought about what was about to happen again, her face began to burn, and her breath began to increase in frequency.
Because she knows that Lin Zhichao is good at everything, but it is more astringent.
Not long after the two dated, Lin Zhichao had crossed over many times, of course, only kissing, touching hands and legs, hugging, etc.
"Every time Brother Zhichao's eyes are so scary!"
"But he's a gentleman today, hehe!"
When Tang Caiyun finished taking a bath, she wrapped her hair in a towel and walked out with a red face.
Lin Zhichao asked curiously, "Is the water in it very hot?" ”
Tang Caiyun's flush was even worse, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Zhichao will find out if you go wash it!" After speaking, he pushed Lin Zhichao towards the bathroom.
Lin Zhichao smiled and picked up his clothes, walked into the bathroom, and prepared to take a comfortable bath.
Unexpectedly, he soon discovered a tempting thing, Tang Caiyun's 'dirty clothes' suddenly appeared on the shelf.
Lin Zhichao couldn't help but stretch out his guilty hand!
The underwear of this period did not have an underwire sponge, so it would not have any shaping and gathering effect, and the West had just taken off the corset and pursued the emancipation of the body, and the same was true for China (the magic capital has been very fashionable, and European luxury perfumes are not uncommon).
The underwear of this period is more like shorts, the material is soft and silky, there are rubber bands on both sides of the thighs, which are strictly guarded against going away, and there is a circle of a few centimeters of offcuts under the rubber bands to increase the overall beauty.
During this period, glass stockings were worn almost all year round and became fashionable.
At this time, Tang Caiyun suddenly remembered outside that she had forgotten to pack up her clothes just now, and she couldn't help but walk towards the bathroom. When I got to the door, I didn't dare to go in, so I could only think about it.
"No matter! Anyway, it's Mrs. Lin soon! Tang Caiyun comforted herself.
Seeing that there was no sound of running water, Tang Caiyun couldn't help but say at the door: "Brother Zhichao, why don't you take a bath?" I'm so hungry! She vaguely guessed something.
Lin Zhichao, who was inside, heard Tang Caiyun's voice, sniffed deeply, and then mixed his clothes with Tang Caiyun's clothes and handed them over to the hotel for cleaning later.
"Caiyun wants to come in?"
"No! Wash it slowly! ”
Frightened, Tang Caiyun hurriedly ran away!
When Lin Zhichao walked out of the bathroom, he mixed the clothes of the two.
When Tang Caiyun saw this scene, she naturally felt a deer in her heart.
"These clothes will be washed by the hotel, and the underwear will be in the bathroom, so you can wash it later." Lin Zhichao said as a matter of course.
Tang Caiyun immediately said: "Okay, Brother Zhichao's will also be given to me, and we will wash it together later." At this time, she can't care about being shy, because she must be virtuous.
In her relationship with Brother Zhichao, although she is the eldest lady of a rich family, she feels that she is far less good than Brother Zhichao. Brother Zhichao can speak many Chinese, know a lot of things, and is very responsible and very business-talented.
Therefore, Tang Caiyun felt that she couldn't play a little bit of a young lady's temper, and she needed to be a good wife and mother; Of course, because Lin Zhichao was very good to her, Tang Caiyun was willing to do better.
The two quickly walked towards the restaurant, intending to have a beautiful meal to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
