Chapter 106: Encountering an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Country, Jiang Sheng Smiled Triumphantly!
At seven o'clock the next morning, Jiang Sheng boarded a direct flight from Zhonghai to Dubai.
Dubai still attaches great importance to him, the Asian marathon record holder, and provides him with a round-trip first-class ticket.
This is the first-class cabin of the Emirates 380 plane, and the discounted price is usually 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a ticket.
In addition to reimbursing him for the full cost of a first-class round-trip ticket, he can also bring 1 assistant with him.
The first-class ticket of the Emirates for 100,000 yuan in the peak season is not blown, and he knew for the first time that there was a special car to pick him up at home when he took the first-class cabin.
The Rolls-Royce car with the starry roof sent him all the way to the China Shipping First Class VIP Lounge.
According to his "assistant" Jiang Yuanzhou, the plane they took today is also known as a "Michelin flight", which means a flight to eat and eat all the way.
So Jiang Sheng started to eat from the VIP lounge, what red stewed beef, pan-fried cod, and fried pork cutlet.
The staple food is porridge, which is filled with a large number of shrimps, fried noodles and steamed dumplings, and dozens of different drinks, champagne wines.
For cigar smokers, Cuban Havana cigars are also available for free.
Jiang Sheng ate three or four servings by himself, if Jiang Yuanzhou hadn't reminded him that there were more delicious things on the plane, he would have to show off a few large pieces of pork chops that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
After living for 39 years, Jiang Sheng took a plane for the first time, and it was also the first time he went abroad, and he was very excited.
But when the plane took off and pulled upward, he actually felt fear and fear, a sense of powerlessness that had lost control of his life.
When the plane entered the stratosphere, everything fell silent, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.
Jiang Sheng took out his mobile phone and took a video of the interior of the first-class cabin for his wife Chen Wenjing, which was full of glittering local tyrant colors, full-featured airline seats, and a bar counter that could be raised and lowered.
Naturally, he took the menu for the first time, and there were all kinds of delicacies on it, and he ordered them one by one, what salted chicken, sauced beef, smoked fish and prawns, sugar lotus, sauced beans and so on.
Finally, there are a few "hard dishes", tens of thousands of yuan a kilogram of caviar with finger cakes, golden prawn fried rice, and dates known as "desert gold".
In addition to food and drink, there is also a bath and sauna massage in the first class cabin......
In short, the first-class cabin let Jiang Sheng know for the first time, how cool are rich people?
And Jiang Sheng let the people of Emirates United Airlines see what it means to be "really TM can eat"?
After the poor man's overeating, and then he became a little bored, Jiang Sheng began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Last night, he went to the sea in Jinshan District to practice until two o'clock in the morning, and after he came back, he read biology books for two hours, and rushed to the airport at four o'clock.
Although his spirit is still quite full, after all, the data is still much lower and needs to be replenished.
……
Ten hours later, the Emirates 380 aircraft landed safely and smoothly at Dubai International Airport.
Dubai was four hours behind Chinese time, which was 1 p.m. local time.
The special car has been sending Jiang Sheng and Jiang Yuanzhou to the seven-star hotel "Burj Al Arab".
When I got out of the car, even though I had known about this world-famous building for a long time and had seen its video on the plane, I was still deeply shocked when I saw it with my own eyes.
The hotel building is flanked by two pillars, the top of which is blazing with flames, like a "sky lantern" standing in an oil field.
On the other side of the hotel building is a tall black stone monument with a fountain flowing down the black stone monument.
Just when Jiang Sheng wondered what this nondescript decoration was for, Jiang Yuanzhou, who had obviously done his homework, explained: "Brother Sheng, this torch and fountain imply the superior natural gas resources of the Emirates, as well as the history of the oil that is gushing out of the ground. ”
Jiang Sheng nodded and walked towards the hotel.
The hotel reception staff immediately greeted them and introduced Jiang Sheng and the others while walking in fluent English.
Jiang Sheng looked at the interior decoration of the hotel all the way, it can be called a seven-star hotel, can you imagine how luxurious it is?
In addition to a large number of Elama elements, Western elements, African styles, and the symbols of China's water, fire and wind can be seen everywhere.
And there are also various high-tech technologies that are integrated into it.
According to the information revealed between the lines of the hotel reception staff, the perennial occupancy rate of the Burj Al Arab Hotel has reached more than 80%, and the people who live here are all big people, big guys and elites......
However, as soon as Jiang Sheng entered the room, before he had time to see the beautiful scenery outside the window, the doping test personnel of this competition called him and asked him to go to the doping testing center for testing.
Jiang Yuanzhou was not surprised at all when he learned the news, "Bolt was stared at by the IAAF Anti-Doping Center every day when he was at his peak, and he had to be sampled 7 times a day at the peak, and he didn't even dare to go to the toilet because he had to take a urine test at any time." ”
"And Brother Sheng, you won the Zhonghai International Marathon as an amateur, and in such an incredible way, it is normal for the AFC and the Tournament Committee to suspect you of doping."
Jiang Sheng heard that the bad mood caused by being asked to do a doping test just after landing calmed down a little.
Then I took the special car provided by the hotel and went to the competition venue for a urine test.
When I was done, I returned to the Burj Al Arab, and it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
They got out of the car some distance from the hotel and walked slowly along the huge curved sidewalk, with the tall hotel standing in front of them, and on their right hand side the golden sandy beach and the sparkling Persian Gulf Sea on the left.
According to previous staff, the cost of planting a tree here is more than $3,000 because of the lack of fresh water in Dubai.
On both sides of the sidewalk, flowers are blooming and rows of palm trees are in full swing.
"It's really a big dog!"
Jiang Yuanzhou also said with envy: "No way, who let people have oil and gas underground!" With a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world. ”
Jiang Sheng bared his teeth and said: "It's no wonder that Eagle Sauce is making trouble here every day, and the child is holding gold to pass the market, who is not greedy?" ”
Jiang Yuanzhou nodded again and again.
The two of them walked and talked.
At this time, the sun is setting, the scenery is particularly beautiful, and there are many tourists taking pictures on both sides of the road leading to the hotel, black, white, and yellow.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng heard a "eggplant", so he turned his head to look.
I saw five or six middle-aged people taking pictures with their backs to the Burj Al Arab and taking pictures with selfie sticks.
Jiang Sheng looked at a few people, feeling that several of them were very familiar, and then suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, Qiu Qicheng? Wu Yi? ”
The two middle-aged men over there who were comparing scissorhands looked at Jiang Sheng.
After looking closely, I found that I didn't know it, and wondered: "Who are you?" ”
Jiang Sheng walked over quickly, stared at two of the other four people, and said happily: "Feng Zixin, Lei Qingfu, right?" ”
After several people confirmed that they didn't know Jiang Sheng, they all looked at him vigilantly and said, "Who is you?" ”
Jiang Sheng laughed and said: "You nobles are so forgetful, of course you don't know if you recognize me as an old classmate." ”
These people were all his college classmates back then, but he didn't expect to meet them in a foreign country, which is really amazing.
"I'm sorry, we don't know you!"
After saying that, a few people turned around and left.
Jiang Sheng didn't understand it for a while, and Jiang Yuanzhou next to him said: "Brother Sheng, didn't it be said on the Internet that the fellow saw the fellow shoot in the back, it is said that the Chinese abroad like to pit the Chinese the most, so they will quickly avoid you when they see you." ”
Jiang Sheng suddenly said: "Ah, I see!" I said so. ”
He had often seen such remarks on the Internet before, but when he actually went abroad, he found that he still felt cordial when he saw his compatriots.
Jiang Yuanzhou said: "Actually, this is also a very normal thing. On the territory of foreigners, once there is a dispute, the government must also help its own people, and if they suffer too much, they will not dare to casually pit foreigners, but they can only pit their compatriots. ”
"Yes, it does!" Jiang Sheng nodded, "Let's go, let's have dinner." ”
"Huh? Brother Sheng, you ate so much on the plane, are you still hungry? ”
"It's rare to have a chance to eat a big dog, so you can't eat it with an open stomach......"
When I came to the door of the hotel, I didn't expect to meet a few people from before, who were taking pictures of the hotel from a distance.
Inside the Burj Al Arab, guests are not allowed to enter, so most visitors can only take photos with it in the background on the street
Of course, if you order food at a hotel restaurant, you can also enter with an order.
The cafeteria is also inexpensive, around US$110 per person, about AED 395.
When those people saw that Jiang Sheng was also "chasing over", they were so frightened that they didn't take pictures, and hurriedly prepared to run away.
Jiang Sheng laughed when he saw it, and shouted to Feng Zixin at the back: "Hey, Feng Zixin, I'm Jiang Sheng...... You said you were going to marry me, did you forget? ”
Feng Zixin, who was about to run away with her husband, heard the words coming from behind her, and immediately stayed on the spot, turning her head to look at Jiang Sheng.
"Don't look at it, it's really my ......" Jiang Sheng leaned back with a smile, "Come here." Don't worry, you're so ugly, I won't have any intentions on you. ”
When Feng Zixin heard this, he immediately ran over, looked Jiang Sheng up and down, and said in shock: "Damn, you are really Jiang Sheng?" You, you, you...... Why did you look like this? ”
"Hey, hey, hey......" Jiang Sheng smiled proudly, his mouth was about to crack to the back of his ear, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are richer than back then." ”
