Chapter 279: Waldorf Astoria Courtyard Hotel
Chapter 279: Waldorf Astoria Courtyard Hotel
"Boss, it seems that the sky in Beidu is lower than where we are?"
Among the driving Audi cars, except for Miao Ying, who had stayed in Beidu for a short time, the other two It was also the first time for the two girls to come to this city. As the car entered the city, they all lay beside the window and looked out.
Hearing Yun Lan's question, Zhou Wang glanced at it and said casually: "The sky in the north is generally visually shorter than that in the south. This has something to do with longitude and latitude, temperature, air pressure, clouds, etc..." "
Wow, Boss, you know a lot!"
Yun Lan suddenly looked admiring.
But Zhou Wang didn't have any trouble in his heart. After all, the three girls sitting in the back seat could only take out a high school diploma and a technical secondary school diploma in total. Pretending to be a cultured person in front of them really didn't achieve much. Feeling...
"Read more books, you can also know these things."
Zhou Wang replied, then put down some windows and began to look at the scenery along the way.
In normal memory, this was also his first time visiting a first-tier city, and Zhou Wang still had great expectations.
Starting from the South Fifth Ring Road, in addition to the expected high-rise buildings everywhere, the biggest feeling when looking around is that there are so many parks in Beidu...
Yinluchi Park, Citizen Park, Jiugong City Forest Park... Have you left yet? Not far away, the car has already passed three parks.
After walking for a while, two parks appeared on both sides of the road, Flower of the World Park on the left and Wangxing Lake Park on the right.
"The original plan proposed by Beidu was to build a 'City of Thousand Gardens'. This is also related to the previous cleanup of some illegal land construction. It can not only make rational use of land resources, but also meet the leisure needs of citizens. It kills two birds with one stone..."
Drive The driver heard Zhou Wang's question as if he was talking to himself, and answered with a smile.
Zhou Wang looked sideways and could only sigh that he was the kind of driver who came from a family. He seemed so competent even in casual remarks. Maybe this was the average quality of Beidou people?
After all, we are in the Imperial City...
Soon, the car passed by the famous Temple of Heaven Park, and from here, it indicated that the group entered the core area of ????Beidu.
Passing Ciqimen and Chongwenmen all the way, Zhou Wang's biggest feeling was that the road planning in Beidu was really bad. Almost all the roads he saw, no matter the roads or small roads, were square and extremely smooth.
To put it another way, in this city, as long as you can distinguish the most basic directions from southeast to northwest, it will be difficult to get lost.
While Zhou Wang was internally praising Beidu's transportation construction... there was a traffic jam.
On Chongwenmen Nei Street, near Dongdan, Audi cars were mixed in the endless traffic flow, unable to move.
In the past, Zhou Wang didn't understand why some cities needed to limit numbers, but now he understood... Even the number limit was so congested. If there were no limit, it would probably become difficult to move forward.
Fortunately, it was his first time in this city, so even the traffic jam seemed unique. Zhou Wang was not impatient, he just watched the people coming and going on the street, and even took out his mobile phone to take a random photo.
But he didn't post it on WeChat Moments because he didn't tell his senior sister in advance that he was coming to Beidu. He wanted to give her a surprise.
...
After another forty minutes of stopping and walking, the vehicle passed Wangfujing, turned into Jinyu Alley, and then drove into a small road.
As the vehicle slowed down, Zhou Wang also knew that the destination had arrived. He looked up and saw the door of the hotel they were about to stay in -
"Beidu Waldorf Astoria Courtyard Hotel".
This hotel, rated "five-star" and self-positioned as "six-star luxury", belongs to the well-known multinational hotel management company Hilton Group. The hotel has also been selected for the 2024 Best Hotels China Hotel List.
As the name suggests, the characteristic of this hotel is that it integrates the history and culture of Beidu. Some of the suites in the hotel are Hutong courtyard houses that completely retain the characteristics of Beidu. It is very suitable for "out-of-towners" like Zhou Wang to stay and directly experience the purest. Characteristics of Northern Capital.
The hotel was naturally decided by Ding. After Zhou Wang told her before coming, he didn't think about anything else. With Ding Yi's intelligence, there was no need to worry about these things.
As Zhou Wang expected, Ding Yi did not abruptly let Zhou Wang live directly at her home. Zhou Wang would obviously feel more comfortable with this arrangement.
After driving Zhou Wang and others to the foyer, they were immediately greeted by a waiter at the door.
"Mr. Zhou, the lady has already booked a room for you. Just give your name. You go and settle in first. The lady will come to you when she is finished."
After a few people got off the car, the driver smiled at Zhou Wang. After saying that, he drove away in the Audi.
After Zhou Wang wrote his name on the newspaper, the waiter first led a few people to the VIP reception room in the lobby to check in. Then a young man with a decent smile walked over quickly and greeted Zhou Wang respectfully:
"Zhou Wang." Hello sir, I am your personal butler during your stay at the Waldorf Astoria Courtyard Hotel. You can call me Xiao Dai or Dave. Of course, you also have the right to change the butler at any time. If you need it, I can give you the roster. Take a look..."
"No, it's just you."
Zhou Wang was startled and then shook his head and smiled.
He had stayed in a five-star hotel before, and the personal butlers who served him were all women, but in his conscience, Zhou Wang didn't mean it. He was a casual person and was not particular about gender.
"Thank you for your trust. Mr. Zhou, and a few others, please come here. I will take you to your room."
Next, under Xiao Dai's guidance, Zhou Wang led the three girls through the underground corridor of the hotel. , came to the west courtyard of the hotel.
The surrounding environment is the standard design of hutongs + courtyards, very much like the old Beijing.
"Our hotel has a total of two courtyards like this, namely the east courtyard and the west courtyard. Although the east courtyard is a courtyard, it actually has four rooms. The west courtyard where you are staying, Mr. Zhou, is the only one in our hotel. A complete courtyard villa covering an area of ??1,050 square meters..."
"How much does it cost?"
Zhou Wang asked.
Xiao Dai was slightly startled, then opened the door and replied: "The normal booking price is about 140,000, and the price of the presidential suite in our main building today is about 78,000..."
Xiao Dai said behind his words. The meaning is obvious, this courtyard villa is the real "king of the building" of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Zhou Wang nodded slightly. The main reason he asked for the price was to know how much favor he owed Ding Yi so that he could repay it later.
Xiao Dai opened the door and entered the courtyard. The environment was not much different from the courtyard house in Zhou Wang's imagination. It was a red-painted attic, a standard Chinese style.
But when you push open the door of the central hall and enter the space belonging to the master bedroom, the unique modern luxury atmosphere begins to hit your face again.
Zhou Wang was hard-pressed to comment for a while, but after thinking about it, there wasn't much wrong with it. Feeling the atmosphere of Beidu in the yard, and then returning to the room to be alone and luxurious, all aspects have been taken into consideration.
"You guys also go and choose your own room."
After Xiao Dai confirmed that Zhou Wang had nothing to do and left for the time being, Zhou Wang turned to the three girls and said.
Including the upper and lower floors of the main building, this courtyard villa has four rooms, which is quite suitable for living.
However, Miao Ying left first, but Yun Rou and Yun Lan remained in the room. Instead, they consciously began to help Zhou Wang organize the room. They took out the clothes from the suitcase and hung them up for Zhou Wang.
While Yunlan was helping Zhou Wang check and make the bed, Yunrou went to the bathroom to help Zhou Wang drain the water.
In the past two days in Baicheng, there really was no time to take a good bath, and Zhou Wang did not refuse their kindness.
This has to mention another aspect of this master bedroom that makes Zhou Wang very satisfied...the classical bathtub, the overall shape is like a giant bowl.
Just big enough for three people.
Of course, Zhou Wang only used this to describe the size of the bathtub, and it had nothing to do with anything else.
Under Yunrou and Yunlan's attentive service, she first had a full-body spa treatment on the big bed, and finally soaked in the bathtub, enjoying the massage from four small hands, and soon became drowsy.
In a daze, Zhou Wang actually fell asleep leaning on the bathtub.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Zhou Wang opened his eyes, Yun Rou and Yun Lan had disappeared. Zhou Wang was a little confused. Normally, even if he fell asleep, Yun Rou and Yun Lan would probably stay here. After all, he fell asleep in the bathtub, and they would definitely not dare to leave rashly.
At this time, Zhou Wang heard some subtle movements coming from the cubicle outside, like the sound of pages turning. He looked through the half-opened hollow wooden door and saw an infinitely beautiful figure sitting on a desk. On the wooden chair next to the door, he lowered his head and read something.
Zhou Wang understood, and stood up from the bathtub with a "crash" sound. The girl who heard the movement did not turn her head abruptly, but just made a movement in her hands.
Zhou Wang put on his bathrobe, came outside, and said with a smile, "When did you arrive?"
"It's been a while."
Ding Yi put down the book in his hand and looked up at Zhou Wang.
The moment they looked at each other, the two of them were startled at the same time. A rather similar strange feeling arose in their hearts at the same time.
In Zhou Wang's sight, Ding Yi is still so beautiful. Her bright facial features are mixed with a bit of mixed-race genes. She is pure and charming at the same time. Her skin is so fair that it seems to be glowing. She does not need too much makeup to embellish it, but she can still shine. A thrilling charm.
The long hair with a slight curvature is spread loosely, one side is fixed with a simple hairpin, and the other side is braided into a small braid, hanging down in the long hair, giving Ding Yi some sense of belonging under his virtuous temperament. The beauty and agility of a girl.
Zhou Wang was not sure for a while whether this seemingly simple hairstyle was carefully designed to achieve such an effect, or whether it was because of Ding Yi's natural beauty that her hairstyle became so eye-catching.
But these are not the main reasons for Zhou Wang's confusion. After all, he is already very familiar with Ding Yi's "face". What really surprised him was the change in Ding Yi's temperament...
Although he was wearing a more casual long skirt and Xiaoshan, Dante's eyes showed something similar to a "sense of distance".
In the past, when Ding Yi was on campus, although she was stunningly beautiful, in the impression of her classmates, she was also very friendly, generous, and loved to laugh and make fun.
But at this moment, something about Ding Yi that was "high and distant" that belonged to an aristocratic lady suddenly came out.
If Zhou Wang hadn't gotten to know her well before, he might have been a little cautious when seeing a girl like this.
In Ding's eyes, Zhou Wang also experienced great changes.
It was obvious that the last time the two met was only two months ago, but at that time they were just young men who were just showing off their talents. At this time, his temperament had become deeper and calmer, and he was completely different from the Zhou Wang in her memory.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Wang was the first to speak with a smile, breaking the strange silence:
"Why don't you wake me up and just sit like this and wait?"
"I've been busy lately. Apart from class, I I also went to a legal office in Beidu for an internship, and then I have to go to newspapers, TV stations, and the Youth League Committee... Anyway, the next year will be very busy, so sitting in your luxury suite and reading a book is a rare quiet moment, which is quite good for me Not bad."
Ding came to his senses and replied with a smile.
"Why do you need to go to so many units?"
Zhou Wang was surprised, but also felt a little emotional for no reason.
In the past, it was impossible for him not to know that Ding had started his internship, but now, it was not until they met again that he heard about the other person's current situation.
Many things are different after all.
"Because my parents' opinions are different from my choice. This is a compromise. I have to try them all before I can convince them..."
Ding Yi smiled and glanced at Zhou Wang's faintly muscular figure exposed in his bathrobe. Chest, pursed his lips and said: "Are you going to keep talking to me dressed like this? I'm not your two little assistants, so I have to be careful
, right?" Zhou Wang could only smile awkwardly, of course, it's definitely not the case. Because he was "disheveled", but because when Ding Yi came, he didn't know if Yun Rou and Yun Lan were "disheveled"...
"Wait for me."
Zhou Wang coughed lightly and then went Changed clothes in the cloakroom.
When he came out, Ding Yi was walking around the room with his hands behind his back, and commented: "This kind of imitation courtyard house that was later built still lacks a bit of feeling. I will take you to my grandma's house tomorrow to take a look. , you will know the difference..."
"Okay."
Zhou Wang replied with a smile, "Will your parents be here?"
"They are both working in other provinces, and my dad will be transferred back at the beginning of the year... You are very afraid of seeing me. Did you see them?"
Ding Yi said, glancing at Zhou Wang.
"Of course not, I just want to prepare a few door-to-door gifts..."
Zhou Wang laughed, not caring whether he could deceive Ding Yi or not.
Ding Yi didn't hold on and said with a smile: "Quanjude for dinner?"
"I heard it's not to our southerners' taste, but since I'm in the northern capital, I definitely want to try it..."
Zhou Wang nodded in agreement. After making a sound, he was about to ask about Jiang Mo, when his phone suddenly vibrated.
Coincidentally, Ding Yi's cell phone rang at the same time.
The two looked at each other funny, and then Ding Yi took the initiative to walk out, while Zhou Wang answered the phone in the room.
"Hey, Sister Ran, what's wrong?" The
person who called Zhou Wang was Lin Ran. Zhou Wang only thought that Lin Ran was here to urge him to shoot the next short video, so he asked casually.
"Mr. Zhou, I want to confirm with you, are you and Xia Xiwei... that kind of relationship?"
Lin Ran probably didn't know the appropriate way to ask, so after a slight hesitation, he asked directly.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Wang frowned slightly, mainly because of Lin Ran's identity, such an abrupt question would inevitably make Zhou Wang a little unhappy.
"Mr. Zhou, don't get me wrong... Well, why don't you check the hot searches on the Internet first? Five minutes ago, Xia Xiwei updated an update on her account. Although it was quickly deleted by her, someone had already taken a screenshot. , the content inside is related to you."
Sensing Zhou Wang's impatient tone, Lin Ran quickly explained.
...
At the same time, in the corridor outside, when he heard the content on the phone, Ding Yi's original smile couldn't help but froze.
"What did you say she did? Please repeat it."
After listening to the person on the phone repeat it, Ding Yi's expression became calm.
"I understand, thank you."
Ding Yi hung up the phone, but did not put down the phone. Instead, he found another number in the address book and dialed it.
When the call was connected, Ding Yi had already put on a smile again:
"Hey, Aunt Lin, it's me, Yiyi, I want to ask you, is Brother Chengyu still working at the media headquarters... Yeah , he has been promoted again, so I just want to congratulate him, um, please give me his phone number... Okay, thank you Aunt Lin, I will come to see you on the weekend. "I
will try to see you in the middle of the night . Write another Chapter and everyone will read it tomorrow.
