After landing at Kai Tak International Airport, the group immediately inquired about hotel check-in at the airport service desk.

After all, this is Xiangjiang, and the waiters are prosperous. Even if you don't make a reservation in advance, you can make a temporary hotel reservation at the airport.

Since the end of the year is approaching, and today is Teresa Teng's 15th anniversary concert, there are many visitors, so the big hotels near Hung Hom, such as the Peninsula Hotel and the Sheraton Hotel, are almost full.

As for some ordinary hotels and the like, there are rooms, but Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to treat himself badly.

After spending a long time choosing at the customer service center, Cao Zhiqiang finally chose the Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon.

The Shangri-La Hotel in Xiangjiang was still a cutting-edge hotel at this time. After all, it was only officially opened in 1981, so all the equipment is very new.

Not only is it located in the most prosperous area of ​​Tsim Sha Tsui, it is also close to Victoria Bay, and the sea view is also unparalleled.

The most important thing is that this hotel is currently managed by Westin Hotels, not Xiangji's own management team, so it is basically the characteristics of Westin. In simple words, it can be said in five words - if you have money, you will be rich.

!

Apart from anything else, the Shangri-La Hotel at this time can provide at least luxury car pick-up and drop-off.

But the most important thing is that the deluxe rooms here are new.

Anyway, when it comes to staying in hotels, Cao Zhiqiang has always believed that the old is not as good as the new.

Because the newer the hotel, the more scientific the design, the more advanced the equipment, and the better the accommodation environment will be.

There is no doubt that there may be many top hotels in Hong Kong, but for now, the Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon is definitely one of the best hotels.

Not only does the location have a prosperous location and the scenery is great, but the service is also great. So which one should I choose if I don’t choose this one?

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang chose the Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon and asked the other party to provide a luxury car to pick him up.

As long as you are willing to pay a deposit, all kinds of services are easy.

Sure enough, after waiting for a short time while drinking tea and reading newspapers in the VIP lounge of the airport, the courtesy car sent by Shangri-La Hotel arrived.

The car is an authentic stretch Lincoln, and the driver is a Chinese man in uniform and gloves. His broken Mandarin is often mixed with authentic American English, which feels a bit nondescript.

But this is the characteristic of Hong Kong in this era.

Speaking in English is synonymous with nobility.

Well, it seems that later Xiangjiang also had this kind of virtue.

There is no way, as a colony, over time, it has always become a bit slavish, and it is difficult to change.

Fortunately, no one cares about this.

On the contrary, others were very excited and curious about this lengthened Lincoln.

After all, this kind of stretched luxury car has never been seen in China.

Hongqi does have an extended version, but compared with the extended Lincoln at this time, it is still almost boring.

Everyone rode in a luxury car, drank champagne and chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel.

After entering the hotel, because we had made a reservation in advance, the waiter was very attentive and took us to the room.

The room Cao Zhiqiang booked was two connected sea-view rooms.

One of them is a 100-square-meter ultra-deluxe sea-view suite, and the other is a 45-square-meter deluxe sea view room. There is a difference between the word "super" and the word "suite" in between. The area is more than half the difference, and the environment is naturally different.

In terms of accommodation, the two women, Zhu Lin and Xu Chun, stayed in the best super luxurious navy suite, while the two men, Cao Zhiqiang and Xu Qingdong, stayed in the inferior deluxe sea view room.

The two rooms are connected to each other and can be easily communicated. In theory, it can also be regarded as a very large suite.

There is no doubt that after staying in such a room and looking at the furnishings and scenery inside, Zhu Lin, Xu Chun and Xu Qingdong all took a deep breath.

They have never lived in such a luxurious room in their lives.

Let alone them, Cao Zhiqiang has never lived there in this life or his previous life.

He had only heard of this kind of room in his previous life, but had never lived in one.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Cao Zhiqiang never lived in a good house in his previous life.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang stayed in a presidential suite in his previous life, but it was not the presidential suite here, but the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in China.

If we simply talk about facilities and area, I'm afraid the presidential suite that Cao Zhiqiang lived in in his previous life is better, but in terms of scenery, it is far inferior.

After all, this place is adjacent to Victoria Bay, and you can see the incomparable sea view of Victoria Bay. Moreover, this is a famous hotel in Xiangjiang, which is different from the second-tier city hotels where Cao Zhiqiang lived in his previous life.

"Xiao Cao, is this really where we stay?" Xu Qingdong couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense, of course." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged and sat down on the sofa next to the viewing window.

Xu Qingdong rubbed his hands and did not sit down. Instead, he looked around, then looked at the invincible sea view behind Cao Zhiqiang and said, "But this is too luxurious. How much does it cost?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to spend money, I'll pay for it."

Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang calmly took out a cigar from the cigar box, and calmly used cigar tongs to remove the end of the cigar. Then he lit an extended match and began to slowly bake it.

After toasting twice, Cao Zhiqiang put the cigar into his mouth, lit it, and took a nice puff.

Phew, cool!

Although Cao Zhiqiang does not usually smoke, at this time, he still needs to smoke some cigars to calm down.

After all, to put it bluntly, he was on the run.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang smoking a cigar to himself, Xu Qingdong blinked, clapped his lips, walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, then shrugged his nose and said: "Is this a cigar? It smells good, isn't it good to smoke?"

"

Cao Zhiqiang glanced at Xu Qingdong, vomited again, and then said calmly: "You can take it if you want, it will be included in the accommodation fee."

"Really?" When Xu Qingdong heard this, he immediately picked up a cigar, "Then I have to try it, otherwise it would be a pity."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled lightly, said nothing, and continued to smoke his cigar.

In fact, although cigars and other items are placed in the guest room, they are actually charged separately.

If you use it, you will have to pay extra during the final settlement.

However, Cao Zhiqiang knew that if he told Xu Qingdong the truth, he would definitely be embarrassed to smoke.

But he obviously wanted to smoke, so he simply said it would be included in the rent.

Anyway, this is not wrong. After all, it does have to be added to the room fee and settled together at the final checkout.

After Xu Qingdong picked up a cigar, he also followed what Cao Zhiqiang had done before, using cigar cutters to cut off the cigar head along the red line of the cigar head to expose the shredded tobacco. Then, he did not smoke the tobacco, but directly held the cigar in his mouth.

, then picked up the extended match and started lighting the cigarette.

"Old Xu." Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but said, "Cigars are more hygroscopic. Before smoking, it's best to toast them first to make them taste better."

"Bake it?" Xu Qingdong was stunned and suddenly remembered Cao Zhiqiang's previous operation.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingdong took out the cigar again, first used an extended match, and followed Cao Zhiqiang's previous method to quickly bake the cigar.

Facts have proved that for a long-time smoker like Xu Qingdong, toasting cigars is not a difficult task.

After a few quick toasts, Xu Qingdong pinched the cigar, then smelled it under his nose, then picked up the cigar again, lit another match, and slowly lit it.

After finally taking a long time to smoke the cigar, Xu Qingdong took a deep breath, and then his lungs were stuffy for a while, then he half-squinted his eyes and puffed out the smoke with great pleasure.

"Okay, okay, that's good!" Xu Qingdong nodded cheerfully after taking a puff of his cigar, "I knew I could live a good life by following you, Xiao Cao, hahaha."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "What does this mean? If you like it, I can just buy a few boxes for you when I go back."

"Really?" Xu Qingdong glanced at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang, who blew out another smoke ring, said: "Is this true or false? Just accept it when the time comes. Just don't be afraid to accept it."

"Is there anything I dare not accept?" Xu Qingdong said cheerfully while smoking a cigar, "I'm just a movie maker, not a big boss, and it's a gift from you, why shouldn't I accept it?

Of course, if it belongs to someone else, I can't accept it.

I can still tell which one is light and which is serious."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "I'm very pleased that you think so."

After taking another puff of cigar, Cao Zhiqiang said calmly in the smoke: "Old Xu, you are the first person to help me, and you are also a talented person, so I hope our friendship can last for a long time.

So, I hope you can understand that we will still have good days in the future, so don’t screw yourself up just for a little profit."

"Don't worry." Xu Qingdong chuckled, "I know what's good, and I won't do anything unless you give it to me."

Hearing what Xu Qingdong said, Cao Zhiqiang nodded and said: "It's best if you think so.

Also, I plan to leave the details of the Hongguang Film Factory to you in the future.

As for me, I will at most provide some script, funding, equipment and market support in the future, and will not easily interfere in the specific management.

So you, the deputy director, will have a lot of power in the future. You will basically have the final say on the specific personnel arrangements and what movies will be filmed.

Once powerful people cannot control themselves, they tend to become inflated and become the kind of disgusting bureaucrats they are.

I don't want you to become that person.

If you become that kind of person, our friendship may be over, do you understand?"

"You can continue to rest assured." Xu Qingdong chuckled.

"I, Lao Xu, don't be incompetent, just know how to film.
To be continued...
