Jingcheng Hotel.
Its history can be traced back to 1900 at the beginning of the last century. It is located in the center of Beijing, adjacent to the Forbidden City, the former imperial palace.
It is only a stone's throw away from Chengtianmen, the Great Hall, the National Center for the Performing Arts, Wangfujing and other historical and cultural attractions.
Every corridor and every leisure space is unique and beautiful.
The coexistence of classical and modern, traditional and emerging, and the blending of East and West give this well-known hotel an extraordinary historical heritage.
The unique development history and geographical location have given this five-star hotel, which combines history, humanity, aesthetics, and modern technology, a special political status. It has received countless visiting international dignitaries since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although Lin Haitang is a native of Beijing, this is his first time to eat in a place like this, let alone a VIP room that is not open to the general public...
All the utensils are antique and of high quality ancient porcelain.
One living room, three dining rooms, all furnished with rosewood and rosewood, shelves full of antiques, exquisite bonsais, famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, the room is elegant and fragrant with flowers...
At first, Lin Haitang was a little confused by such a big battle, but soon, under the guidance of Meng Lang, he couldn't help but take pictures of the exquisite dishes in front of him.
"Crack!"
"Click! Click!"
Luohan prawns, grilled black ginseng, braised shark's fin, duck in wood, braised beef brisket in a pot...
Coupled with the wonderful explanation of the dishes by the waiter on the side, it was an eye-opener for the two of them...
This table of intangible cultural heritage - Tan's cuisine, is the only authentic heirloom. It is said that it was introduced under the personal instruction of the Prime Minister.
The color, aroma and taste are certainly outstanding, and even the presentation of each dish is almost a work of art.
Mr. Hu was used to seeing the two of them, Grandma Liu, being surprised when they entered the Grand View Garden.
"Xiao Meng, is the food still to your liking?"
Meng Lang swallowed a mouthful of beef brisket and gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah! It's fragrant, glutinous and smooth, with a full aftertaste in your mouth! It's indeed a famous dish!"
"Haha! As long as it's to your liking, if we hadn't specially asked Master Tan to work overtime, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so lucky today.
But don’t worry, we’ll give you enough overtime pay.” Mr. Hu said with a smile.
"Well……"
Meng Lang thought to himself that this little old man was quite serious.
As for the chef, can that be called overtime?
What's more, is the feeling of being worked overtime the same as enjoying the overtime service of others?
"In addition, I also booked a room here for you two. You have come all the way, so you can have a good night's rest here today.
If necessary, I will ask Xiao Chu to arrange internal passage tomorrow and take you two around to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in the capital."
Internal passage?
It sounds like there is no need to queue?
Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh.
If you didn’t come here, you wouldn’t know that few people can withstand this kind of sugar-coated bullet of enjoying privileges...
The reason why ordinary people hate privileges is probably because the privileges are not in their hands. Once they enjoy the privileges, the only thing most people want to do is to hold on to them...
For example, when it comes to overtime work, isn't Meng Lang inevitably subject to double standards?
If possible, he wouldn't mind enjoying the privileges, but what makes him more aware than ordinary people is that privileges usually come with corresponding risks...
A person was sitting at home when a 62mm bullet was drilled into the ventilation duct and hit his head accurately...
This life experience asks you whether you are afraid or not?
He put down the chopsticks in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"Thanks for the hospitality, but it's no reward. I'm still used to walking through the ordinary passenger channel."
"How can it be in vain? Just for your help to Yifei, I should do my best to serve as a landlord."
Mr. Hu looked at Meng Lang with hidden meaning.
"Not to mention Ms. Gao Yuan's outstanding contribution to the country in fighting this northern disaster..."
Um?
Meng Lang's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this.
Why do you blame me for Gao Yuan's contribution?
Could it be that such a secret fact that he is Gao Yuan’s behind-the-scenes boss has been discovered by the relevant departments?
Seeing Meng Lang's expression of shock, Mr. Hu had a smile in his eyes.
"What? Xiao Meng, are you trying to deny your relationship with Gao Yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Haitang silently put down his chopsticks and pricked up his ears.
Meng Lang sweated on his forehead. "Hey! Mr. Hu, please stop talking nonsense. What relationship can I have with Gao Yuan?"
"Haha! I heard that before Gao Yuan's rise, she had a divorce dispute with Xu Jinsong of the Xu Group.
And just on the evening of March 31 this year, the Jiangsu City Criminal Police Team received a call from enthusiastic people and called the police. Xu Jinsong and Gao Yuan were both involved in the case...
This matter...Xiao Meng, do you know?"
"Huh?" Lin Haitang stared at Meng Lang with a puzzled expression.
"Ahem! I've heard a little about this..." Meng Lang coughed dryly.
March 31st…
That is the dividing line between Gao Yuan's "first half of life" and "second half of life".
With Gao Yuan's current status, especially the amazing breakthroughs made by Evergreen Biotech and Bai Yeji in sensitive technology.
It is not surprising at all that he has received national attention and his background has been investigated in detail.
The grudge between her and Xu Jinsong that night was naturally not an airtight secret in the face of national power...
"Although I don't know which enthusiastic member of the public called the police, it is a coincidence that a large transfer of 5 million was received in Ms. Gao Yuan's account that night..." Mr. Hu looked at Meng Lang with a smile.
Well……
Meng Lang couldn't help but touch his nose.
Sure enough, the "underground transaction" between himself and Gao Yuan was exposed that day...
The slightly rough transfer operation at the time did indeed leave some hidden dangers.
After all, my "life experience" at that time was not rich enough, and all I could think about was the low-level stage of battling wits and courage with Alzheimer's disease...
Even at the peak of his life, he was just one of the angel investors of Evergreen Biotech, and he never thought that he would be involved in competition between great powers, or even in a life-and-death battle with aliens.
Therefore, there is a serious lack of awareness of the dangers of establishing an "identity firewall"...
"Haha! Outsiders don't know that it was these 5 million that helped Gao Yuan get through the most difficult period of litigation, and later led to the rapid rise of the company Evergreen Biotechnology.
Later, the same account provided 5 million funds to Gao Yuan again."
The second 5 million that Mr. Hu mentioned was actually used by Meng Lang to invest in Mengshan Animal Husbandry. For the same reason, he used Zhifu Bao...
Mr. Hu said with admiration.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Meng, you are not only excellent in Chinese martial arts, but also good at investing.
Not only did he earn 14 million in the stock market with just one venture capital investment, but he was also very precise in his judgment of people.
At that time, Gao Yuan had never set foot in a shopping mall or run a company. You would dare to bet most of her net worth on it. I have to say that young people are courageous!
It's ten million before and after. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's timely help, right?
No wonder he was able to speak in front of Gao Yuan and help Yifei and Bai Yeji connect..."
"This..." What else could Meng Lang say? He could only say haha.
I have to say, their intelligence work is really sharp.
He even made a rough guess about his relationship with Gao Yuan, and even automatically figured out his role in the cooperation between Gao Yuan and Hu Yifei...
To be continued...
