Chapter 81: Teach Me to Swim!
Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi not to worry, and then communicated with the front desk attendant, saying that he and Lin Zhi were from the same unit, and she came to Huacheng on a business trip, and her supporting documents were lost, can you be accommodating?
The waiter said no, without a business trip certificate issued by the unit, you can't check in, this is the rule.
In the era when there was no ID card, the certification document of the unit was the best proof of identity. This is equivalent to the future generations to have an ID card before the hotel will check in.
Lin Zhi has always lived at home, or he traveled with his parents, and he never paid attention to this kind of thing, and when he heard this, he said: "Li Yunhai, you open a single room, and we will get together for one night." β
Without waiting for Li Yunhai to ask, the waiter asked, "Did you bring a marriage certificate?" If you have a marriage certificate, you can live together. β
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi looked at each other stunned, and at the same time shook their heads and said no.
The waiter was also enthusiastic and pointed them out a clear way: "Why don't you go to the White Swan Hotel to stay?" There is no marriage certificate to check over there. However, the housing price over there is very expensive, can your unit reimburse it? β
Li Yunhai heard that there is a place to live, where it doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, it's better than sleeping in a bathhouse or sleeping on the street, right?
He immediately took Lin Zhi to the White Swan Hotel.
Huacheng is the southern gate of our country and an important foreign trade port. However, the hotel's capacity is increasingly stretched. Especially during the Canton Fair every year, it is even more difficult to find a bed.
After the reform and opening up, a number of foreign-related five-star hotels came into being.
The White Swan Hotel is one of the best, and it is also the first five-star hotel in the mainland, with a total investment of 180 million yuan, with 28 floors and 99 meters high, which can be regarded as standing out in the flower city at that time. Towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, like a white male goose spreading its wings and ready to fly.
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to the hotel lobby.
First-time visitors will be attracted by the hotel's exquisite dΓ©cor and luxurious atmosphere.
Marble floors, ornate chandeliers and sculptures highlight the luxury and taste of the hotel.
When the hotel was being built, many building materials were not available in China, and almost all of the equipment, building materials, and furniture were imported, and even a single piece of wood was shipped from the Philippines.
The staff is friendly and welcoming.
Everything is good here, no marriage certificate is checked, and even the business trip certificate of the unit is dispensable.
But the house price is expensive!
The front desk has a sweet appearance and a crisp and beautiful voice: "Hello, sir, welcome." β
Li Yunhai asked, "Hello, is there still a room?" β
The front desk smiled and replied, "Yes, the double bed room, 688 yuan per night." β
688 a night rate! It is equivalent to a year's salary of a Chinese person!
After all, Li Yunhai is a person who has seen the world, and knows that the price of a five-star hotel in this era is indeed very expensive, because this is a foreign-related hotel, and the decoration, service and price are all in line with international standards. Those who can live here are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or cross-border businessmen.
Lin Zhi snorted lightly, and then whispered: "It's so expensive!" Li Yunhai, let's go! β
Li Yunhai is rich now, and he doesn't care about these hundreds of yuan, and says, "I live here." Expensive but comfortable to stay. β
Lin Zhi covered his mouth with his hands and whispered, "Then it's enough for you to open a room, don't waste money!" We'll squeeze it's fine. β
Li Yunhai felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He opened the room, took the room card, and took the elevator with Lin Zhi to the 22nd floor.
The carpet in the aisle is very thick and very soft to the touch.
Li Yunhai opened the door, entered the room with Lin Zhi, and closed the door.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, full of modern design elements, equipped with high-quality furnishings, soft and comfortable two-metre beds, luxurious bathroom equipment, and color televisions.
Lin Zhi's mouth flattened and said, "It's all my fault, I lost the business trip certificate, and I spent so much money!" β
Li Yunhai put down his luggage and said with a smile: "Isn't life in the world just about working to make money and enjoying life?" β
Lin Zhi grinned: "You sleep in the bed at night, and I sleep on the floor!" The blanket on the floor is very thick and comfortable! β
Li Yunhai laughed and said, "It's better for you to sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor!" β
Lin Zhi walked to the big bed, leaned on it, and said with a smile: "Li Yunhai, this bed is very big, let's sleep half of it alone!" β
She turned her face sideways, smiled with her pretty eyes, and looked at Li Yunhai shyly.
Li Yunhai's heart was pounding, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said, "Let's go down to eat first, and then go out shopping!" The night market street in Huacheng is more lively than Xizhou. β
Lin Zhi rolled on the bed and said with a coquettish smile: "Li Yunhai, this bed is too soft, I can't get up, you pull me." β
Li Yunhai smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and grabbed her little hand that was as warm as jade.
Lin Zhi took advantage of the situation to sit up, her buttocks flicked on the bed, and said, "This Simmons is better than mine, soft and elastic." β
She bounced a few times, got out of bed, walked to the window, looked at the world outside the glass window, turned around and smiled: "Li Yunhai, you come here." β
"What's wrong?"
"This is the Pearl River, right? It's beautiful! β
"Yes, the Pearl River is down there."
Seagulls occasionally fly around on the river, and pleasure boats pass by non-stop, creating ripples on the river. The open river view makes people's mood instantly relaxed.
Lin Zhi suddenly said: "It's good to be rich!" β
She turned around, grabbed Li Yunhai's hand, and said with a pretty smile: "Take me to dinner!" I'm so hungry! I feel like I can eat a pig! β
The two came to the Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant on the third floor of the hotel.
The decoration of this restaurant is antique, with a traditional Chinese charm, and the middle of the lobby is a garden-style pavilion and patio-style decoration, with a rockery in the middle, and many koi swimming in the pool, adding a smart atmosphere to the restaurant.
Around the pool is a row of dining tables.
Lin Zhi looked at the price of the dishes, stuck out his tongue slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, eating in such an expensive hotel, naturally everything is more expensive than outside." A bowl of noodles is only sold for 2 cents in Xizhou, and it is sold for 4 yuan here. Others are more expensive. Let's eat a bowl of noodles by ourselves, right? β
Li Yunhai leaned over, glanced at the price list, and said, "Just order whatever you want!" The house price of 688 is out, are you still afraid that you can't afford to eat this meal for dozens of yuan? β
Lin Zhi called the waiter and ordered two bowls of wonton noodles.
She said, I have heard for a long time that there are many snacks in Huacheng, and I want to keep my belly and eat it when I go to the night market!
The two ate noodles, walked around the hotel, watched the "hometown water" landscaping in the atrium, and saw that there was a gym and swimming pool in the back.
Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai if he could swim?
Li Yunhai said of course it would! I grew up bathing in the river, and I was able to swim back and forth several times in the reservoir in my hometown.
Lin Zhi became interested: "You teach me, right?" I've always wanted to learn to swim, but I didn't have the chance! Good no good? β
Li Yunhai said okay, then should we go swimming first? Or do you want to go shopping first?
Lin Zhi saw that there were many people in the pool, and there were foreigners inside, and said, "Let's go out shopping first, go outside to buy swimsuits, and then swim again!" The swimsuits sold in this hotel must be expensive! β
Li Yunhai said okay.
The two walked out of the hotel door just in time to see a Rolls-Royce driving up, surrounded by a group of people, and reporters were present.
Lin Zhi asked curiously, "What kind of character is this?" What a big show! β
The doorman pulls open the rear door of the Rolls-Royce.
First, a delicate woman wearing black glass stockings and black high-heeled leather shoes stepped out.
This is a beautiful woman covered in jewels, about forty years old. She has a teenage girl next to her who is even prettier than a Barbie doll.
A group of people surrounded the two of them and walked past Li Yunhai.
Li Yunhai heard the receptionist say to the glamorous woman: "Mrs. Chen, the room is booked in the presidential suite on the 28th floor. β
That Mrs. Chen snorted slightly.
She walked forward dignified and elegant, her waist straight, and her head was not deviated.
Lin Zhi asked, "Li Yunhai, do you know her?" Who's this? β
Li Yunhai shook his head and said that he didn't know who it was, it was most likely the wife of a wealthy man surnamed Chen in Xiangjiang.
Lin Zhi no longer paid attention to others, and happily went shopping with Li Yunhai, and said with a smile: "I don't know where to sell swimsuits?" β
"The last time I went to the night market, I saw that there were some of them for sale."
"Then hurry up!"
