Chapter 025 On spending money or being a younger brother
Lin Xi put on a Lin Tianwen T-shirt, but her lower body was still missing, and walked out of the room.
"Brother Tianwen, where are we going to play today?"
"Let's go to the beach today and relax."
"As long as you're with Brother Tianwen, it doesn't matter where you go." Lin Xi said and hugged Lin Tianwen for a while.
"Don't play with fire." Lin Tianwen pointed to his arm and said. This girl really doesn't know what it means to play with fire and burn yourself.
"Hehe, I'm going to wash up."
"Ding dong." The doorbell rang at the door.
Lin Tianwen walked over and opened the door: "ICON."
"Uncle, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"Isn't Sister Xixi not here?"
"She's washing up upstairs."
"Oh." ICON walked into the room. Before Lin Tianwen closed the door, he turned around and rushed towards Lin Tianwen. With a slight jump, his legs were already wrapped around Lin Tianwen's waist, and he hugged him with his arms.
neck, and then Qingying's little mouth kissed Lin Tianwen.
It wasn't until he heard some movement upstairs that ICON let go of Lin Tianwen and stood on the carpet.
"Why are you doing this?" Lin Tianwen touched his lips. Fortunately, ICON doesn't usually wear lipstick.
"Uncle, I know you the first. Now you are not even ranked third. Even Sister Xuanxuan is ahead of me."
"This is not a competition, there is no point in ranking first or second. How do you know that Xuan Xuan is second?"
"Although I'm young, I'm not stupid. When we were playing games, she treated you differently. Only you don't know. Even Sister Jijiu knows it."
"Uh... Then why do you do it if you know it is like this?" Lin Tianwen made a kissing gesture and asked.
"Because I like uncle."
"Don't mistake being moved with liking."
"I don't like uncle, why did I come to Sanya?"
"Are you all in need of love? Netizens are so gay, where does the love come from?"
"At that time, we would face each other day and night, and we would be in love for a long time."
"Okay." Playing a game can also express your feelings, which is a good thing for a long time.
"Uncle, I'm going back to my room first." Seeing that his goal was achieved, ICON jumped back to his room.
What can Lin Tianwen say? Just accept it.
After Xia Tian woke up, she was led to the restaurant by the housekeeper.
As soon as she entered the private room, she saw two fish in the fish pond, which were really good. Xia Tian chose a middle seat to sit on the huge table. When she raised her head, she could see Lin Tianwen. ICON and Lin Xi were on the left and right.
Sit on either side of him.
Yang Chao and Xu Wenwen looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
Throughout the whole lunch, Lin Tianwen ate with both enjoyment and discomfort. After all, ICON and Lin Xi were young, and their tit-for-tat confrontation was obvious. You picked up the vegetables and I picked them up, and you fed me.
Xia Tian doesn't do this. She just often drops her chopsticks. She drops her chopsticks more than ten times during one meal. She won't come out until she picks them up for five minutes each time.
After finally finishing the meal, Lin Tianwen was quite happy, but he just didn't let go. After all, Yang Chao and the others were here.
On a certain beach in Haitang Bay, Lin Tianwen was playing in the sea alone with three beautiful girls.
This made the other tourists on the shore look at him frequently, especially the handsome boys. They couldn't figure out where he lost, why he had to play with his sweetheart who was about to celebrate his 60th birthday.
"Tianwen is really awesome." Xu Wenwen looked at the three girls surrounding Lin Tianwen and said with emotion.
"We have to add the two who left two days ago." Yang Chao nodded and said. To say he is not envious would be a bit false, but he is self-aware.
"Don't imitate him." Xu Wenwen warned.
"Definitely not. I only want you." Yang Chao jumped up, knelt down on one knee, and expressed his determination.
After playing all afternoon, I tried motorboating and parasailing. ICON was so tired that she fell asleep. Lin Xi graciously let Lin Tianwen carry her back.
After dinner, Lin Xi said he wanted to stay in the underwater suite that was still available.
"Okay, why do you want to live alone?" Lin Tianwen asked.
"I have reached a gentleman's agreement with ICON. I will not live with you for these two days."
"Childish." Lin Tianwen thought to himself that the two of you have reached an agreement. Isn't there another one outside? Wouldn't it be stupid for someone to take advantage of it?
In the middle of the night, Xia Tian knocked on Lin Tianwen's door. He hurried back to his room just before dawn.
And Lin Tianwen got up after she left. Oh, it was flooded again yesterday. Fortunately, there were two beds in the suite, otherwise the two of them would have to sleep on the sofa.
Before going out, I called room service and asked them to change all the wet sheets and other items.
In the past two days, Lin Tianwen did not go out for a morning jog, but exercised in the gym.
There is no itinerary planned today. Xu Wenwen said she wanted to go shopping at a nearby duty-free shop. She is going back tomorrow and she has to bring something home.
"I'll pay for whatever you three like," Lin Tianwen said, looking at the dazzling array of merchandise.
"My dear, the quantity that everyone can buy here is strictly limited." Xia Tian's career requires her to fly around, so she also knows the requirements of duty-free shops.
"Then just watch and buy."
Whether girls go shopping or not is another matter, but since they are all here, they must take a look.
Shopping time always feels short. One afternoon, except for Xu Wenwen who brought some things to her mother and several cousins, the other three girls didn't buy anything.
Early on the morning of the 5th, Xia Tian was the first to leave. She had to fly to Chang'an at noon and had to enter the cabin.
Others went to the airport after lunch.
ICON's flight was four earlier than Lin Tianwen's, and Lin Tianwen sent her to the security check alone.
"Uncle, when will you come to Yanjing?"
"When I buy the house in No. 7 Courtyard of Diaoyutai, I will come to Yanjing to see you."
"Well, then I'll wait for you in Yanjing and take you to our school. There are many beauties there."
"Okay. The time is up. Come in quickly."
ICON stood up on tiptoes, kissed Lin Tianwen, and walked in with tears in his eyes.
Lin Tianwen felt a little hesitant for the first time.
At 2:30 p.m., the plane landed safely at Xiaoshan Airport.
After taking their luggage, the four of them came to the parking lot.
"There are too many luggages. Yang Chao, please drive to the Cayenne in Xixi. Just put your luggage over there." Lin Tianwen looked at his own Black Badge and said.
"Okay. Come on, give me your luggage." Yang Chao took away Lin Tianwen and Lin Xi's luggage.
The two cars drove out of the parking lot one after the other and went straight to Yaocheng.
As soon as he arrived in Yaocheng, Su Yu called.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Hello, Su Yu. Has the house in Yanjing been settled or the house in Pengcheng?"
"The houses in both places are settled. I will send you two account numbers later, and the total number of each house will also be sent to you. Don't make the wrong transfer."
"okay."
After hanging up the phone, I received a WeChat message from Su Yu, with two accounts and two totals. The one at Diaoyutai No. 7 in Yanjing had a total of 60.24 million including tax, and the one at Pengcheng Bay No. 1 had a tax of 89.36 million.
Lin Tianwen transferred the two amounts of money.
"Brother Tianwen, here is your express delivery." Lin Xi was looking for his own express delivery at the property and saw the express delivery from Su Yu.
"It should be the house book for the house I bought in Shanghai." Lin Tianwen came over, took the express delivery, and took a look.
"Brother Tianwen, have you bought a house in Shanghai? Are you going to Shanghai?" Lin Xi looked at Lin Tianwen and asked.
"Yeah. I plan to open a company there."
"Then what should I do?" Lin Xi almost cried when she thought that the two of them were about to separate.
"You come with me to the Magic City."
"Going to the Magic City with you? My father probably won't agree. I'll talk to my mother first in the evening."
"It's okay, the Magic City is not far away anyway. Besides, I'm not always in the Magic City."
"okay."
"Let's go home and cook for you."
The next day, I went for a morning run as usual, asked Lin Xi to get up, and had breakfast together.
After Lin Xi went to work, Lin Tianwen, who was staying at home, received a number from Shanghai Magic City.
"Hello, boss." Oh, it's a female voice with a nice voice.
"Hello. Who is this?"
"I am Xiao Lingfei. I am the general manager of Wishing Company and the professional manager you entrusted. We communicated through emails before. Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, I didn't forget." Lin Tianwen then remembered that he was a professional manager arranged by the system.
"Boss, I have completed the registration of the company and the recruitment of personnel. The office is located in a 4-story villa in the Binjiang Center of Lujiazui that you bought. It can be opened tomorrow."
"I understand. I'll come over tomorrow morning."
"Okay, boss. Then I'll wait for you to come over."
"okay."
Since I plan to go to Shanghai tomorrow, I need to make some arrangements.
I didn’t bring anything with me, so I drove the Cullinan back to my hometown.
"Mom, where's my dad?" As soon as they entered the house, they saw Lin's mother busy in the kitchen. Putting down the dishes in her hands, Lin Tianwen stepped forward and asked.
"Son, why are you here? Your dad is fishing in the pond next to the village." Mother Lin was very happy when she saw her son. She wiped her hands on her apron, took his hand and said, "Skinny
It looks better." Since the last time I hugged my parents, the parent-child relationship of Lin Tianwen's family has become different. They are much more harmonious and their love can be expressed.
"I'm going to work in Magic City starting tomorrow. I'll come back to see you today."
"Why do you have to go to the Magic City?"
"My friends and I have opened a company in Shanghai, and I have to go there to watch it."
"You're still young, you might as well go out and make a living. Do you have enough money?"
"Enough, I have money. When I come back this time, I want to give you some money."
"If your parents are rich, keep your money for yourself."
"Mom, there are 200,000 in this card. Even if you don't use it, you can keep it for emergencies." Lin Tianwen took out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into Mother Lin's hand.
200,000 was a decision he made after careful consideration. It didn't matter if he gave 1 billion to his parents. However, if he gave 1 billion, Father Lin would probably beat him to death.
Parents must know their children's abilities best. When they suddenly give a large amount of money, the first thing they think of is where did the money come from? The surprise turns into surprise.
If you want to improve their lives, you can only do it slowly. Moreover, Father Lin and Mother Lin have lived in the village for a long time. Whether they are willing to go to the magic city with him is also a question. They can only do it step by step.
"200,000? Is the company you run so profitable?"
"I was lucky. I came across a big order and made some profit."
"Okay, then I'll keep it for you. You can use it when you marry Xixi in the future. By the way, you go to the magic city, what will Xixi do?" Mother Lin happily accepted the bank card.
"Xixi, I asked her to go to the Magic City with me. She probably has to discuss it with her parents."
"Xixi, such a good child, don't let her down."
"Mom, no. By the way, I bought some food from the market. I will cook a meal for you today."
"Hey, okay." Mother Lin looked at her sensible son and couldn't help but want to cry again.
At noon, the family happily finished their meal, and Lin Tianwen left.
"Xixi, uncle and aunt are willing to let you go to the Magic City with me?"
"Brother Tianwen, my dad doesn't agree." Lin Xi on the other end of the conversation was in a very depressed mood.
"In this case, I will go to the Magic City first, and after I get settled, I will talk to your father."
"Ah, Brother Tianwen, do you want to meet my dad?"
"That's right. I guess your dad doesn't trust me. After all, he hasn't seen me before."
"Oh, why did we meet so suddenly?" Lin Xi, perhaps thinking of something good, suddenly became shy.
"We have to meet, it's better to meet early."
"Okay. I'll listen to you."
"Well, that's okay. Since you won't go for now, I'll rush to the Magic City in the evening."
"Oh. Brother Tianwen, please pay attention to your own safety."
"Um."
Returning to Junyue Community, Lin Tianwen packed up a few clothes, took two watches and the MACBOOK worth more than 50,000 yuan, and also took away all the house books.
Then we rushed to Green City Mingyuan, put all the house books in the safe, and left with the house books for the house in Shanghai.
Before getting on the expressway, I sent a WeChat message to Yang Chao and Lin Xi.
Three hours later, Lin Tianwen parked his car in his parking space in the underground garage of Suhewan Residence.
Entered the elevator, swiped the access control, and pressed the button for floor 43B (actually the 44th floor).
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and a girl wearing a mask and sunglasses came in, followed by a pleasant smell of perfume. Lin Tianwen could not smell the brand of perfume.
However, he felt that this girl was so weird. She was wrapped up so tightly in the summer. He saw her swiping the access control and pressing the button for the 43rd floor. He thought, this is the neighbor downstairs.
The elevator soon stopped at the 43rd floor. As soon as the door opened, the girl hurried out.
Lin Tianwen looked at the girl again through the door that was about to close. She was covered in luxury goods and knew how to match them. The key was that she had a good figure, but she didn't see her face. How did she look?
The elevator soon reached the 44th floor. Lin Tianwen carried his luggage and computer, entered the password on the door lock, and entered the door. He easily changed the password and recorded his fingerprints.
As soon as the door is opened, the spacious living room is connected to a long balcony. Standing on the balcony, you can still see the scenery of the Bund and Lujiazui without any obstruction.
The house Lin Tianwen bought has four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms. It is decorated in a Shanghai-style style. The style is the type he likes. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to knock it down and redecorate it.
The house is fully equipped with household appliances, kitchen supplies, and furniture, but it lacks bedding.
The house was very clean. Apparently Su Yu had someone clean it after she bought the house.
After putting down his luggage, Lin Tianwen took out his mobile phone and started recording what was missing in the house.
After walking around for a while, he got bored.
It's really troublesome not having a woman in the family. Women are naturally gifted at buying things, but he can't.
Dial Xuan Xuan's phone number.
"Hey, Neptune called me." The call was quickly connected, and Xuan Xuan came up and joked.
"Where are you?"
"I'm still in Rongcheng. What's wrong?" Xuan Xuan said softly, perhaps sensing Lin Tianwen's slight unhappiness.
"I'm in Magic City. But I still need a lot of things to buy at home, and I don't know how to do it. When will you come to Magic City?"
"I have to sign the last document tomorrow, and I won't be able to come until the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'll stay at the Bulgari Hotel next door for a few days. When you come, we'll go shopping."
"Well, okay. I'll hang up now. There's still a meeting here."
"OK."
After Lin Tianwen made the call, he stopped worrying, picked up his travel bag, and went downstairs.
The Bulgari Hotel is located in Suhe Bay, less than 100 meters away from the house Lin Tianwen bought.
A few minutes later, he walked into the lobby of the hotel. The Bulgari Hotel opened in June this year. It is the sixth store in Asia and the second in China.
At first glance, it is full of luxury. The interior of the hotel was created by the Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. It not only retains the essence of Italian architecture and design style, but also incorporates the unique Shanghai-style style of Shanghai.
The hotel lobby uses a large area of black walls and sofas to create a high-end texture.
Through the high floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the beautiful Bulgari Garden outside.
The design of the front desk and concierge has a strong texture and looks cool, suitable for taking static pictures.
Going further inside is the rest area. The screen with the octagonal star pattern is located in the center, which is in line with the decoration of the Bvlgari flagship store on Via Condotti in Rome. Behind the screen is a more private area, open 24 hours a day, with free books
Can be borrowed.
Sit here for a while, and the enthusiastic staff will serve you drinks thoughtfully. If you feel that the air-conditioning temperature in the lobby is too low, you can also borrow a blanket from them, and you can also grab cutely packaged candies.
Throughout the lobby and public areas, precious black and white photos of stars can be seen everywhere. If you look closely, you will see that these stars are wearing Bvlgari brand jewelry, highlighting the brand’s indissoluble bond with the red carpet.
When he came to the front desk, Lin Tianwen took out his ID card and bank card and said to the front desk: "I want a Bulgari suite and stay for three days first."
The receptionist at the front desk saw that her name was Susan on her name badge. She was wearing a gray hotel uniform with a ponytail. She had a stunned expression on her face, but she returned to normal in an instant. Her good professional habits prevented her from doing this.
A low-level error.
"Okay, sir. I'll check you in right away." Susan took the ID card and bank card and skillfully checked in for Lin Tianwen.
Sign, swipe the card, sign again, accept the card, and the 480,000 is gone.
As soon as he checked in, the butler of the suite appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am your personal butler Amanda." A young woman walked up to him, bowed slightly, and introduced herself.
"Mr. Lin, you can leave your luggage to our staff." Amanda gestured with her hand.
Lin Tianwen turned around and saw a staff member following him. He was so considerate. He handed his luggage to the staff member and followed Amanda to the elevator.
The Bulgari Suite is located on the 45th floor of the hotel, where you can see the scenery on both sides of the Suzhou River, as well as the Bund and Lujiazui.
Opening the door, Amanda invited Lin Tianwen into the room. This room was 400 square meters, larger than the house he bought.
While introducing, Amanda operated all the switch equipment in the room, inadvertently letting the guests know about the various facilities in the room without making you feel embarrassed.
The entire suite has a double-height, showing a sense of spacious space. From the living room, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city.
Guest room furniture and lighting are all custom designed or hand-selected by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and tailor-made by world-renowned Italian brands.
The bed in the room is large, wide, and soft. The classical four-poster bed frame is very retro, showing a low-key and subtle Chinese charm. The quilt is covered with a thick Bulgari blanket, which sets off the classical charm of the furniture.
The large-screen TV is hidden in the custom-designed cabinet. If Amanda hadn't said it again, I would have spent half a day looking for it if I wanted to watch TV at night.
The bathroom is right next to the bedroom, and the design of the entire bathroom is open and transparent. The countertops of the double washbasin are inlaid with Calacatta marble from Tuscany, and the long mirror surface is unique, breaking through the tradition in design.
The bathtub is made of a whole piece of rare Pakistani green onyx, equipped with a mirror TV, a private steam room and a massage room. Take a bath, watch the scenery, and play with the king, it will definitely be great!
Amanda took Lin Tianwen around and said, "Mr. Lin, if you need anything, you can contact me."
"OK, thanks."
"Have a nice day." After saying that, Amanda went out and closed the door.
Lin Tianwen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at Lujiazui in the distance, thinking that he had to come to a big city, otherwise he would not know how much money he could spend. The decoration cost of each room of the Bulgari Hotel actually reached an average of more than 24 million.
.
After working all afternoon, I was feeling a little hungry. I looked at the time and it was already past 5 o'clock.
He was thinking about going to the IL Ristorante on the 47th floor for dinner. He looked down at his clothes and thought, change your clothes. You can't go there wearing shorts and shorts to eat. Although he didn't mind, he was afraid of being called rich behind his back.
You can call me rich, but you can't accept being humble.
I called Amanda and asked her to take the Hermès ready-made clothes and iron them. The clothes were almost wrinkled when Lin Tianwen stuffed them in the travel bag.
After changing his clothes, wearing loose long-sleeved trousers, and wearing a Vacheron Constantin full-diamond watch, Lin Tianwen, who is 1.8 meters tall, looks a bit elegant and a bit arrogant.
Take the elevator to the 47th floor.
I asked the waiter to ask for a corner location in the restaurant, not to keep a low profile, but because that location has an unparalleled view and I can see the night view of Lujiazui while dining.
Don't tell me that you need to make a reservation two weeks in advance to book this location. Isn't it a privilege to stay in a Bulgari Suite worth 160,000 yuan a night?
As meal time approaches, more and more people dine in the restaurant, and it quickly fills up.
The other tables were all in pairs, or there were three or five friends gathered together, but Lin Tianwen was the only one who occupied the best seat.
Everyone in the restaurant was looking at Lin Tianwen, so why wasn't Lin Tianwen observing them?
The Bulgari Hotel has only just opened, but it has almost become an internet celebrity.
Looking around, Lin Tianwen was embarrassed to look at the young ladies in groups, one-third of whom had had their faces operated on. They were all dressed in beautiful clothes. Lin Tianwen was embarrassed to look at them, but none of them had a face value of over 90.
.
Don't think twice, she is wearing a small dress, but it has slits at the front and back.
I called the sommelier and asked for a bottle of Latour. The one I drank last time in Sanya was pretty good.
The sommelier Jina smiled and said to him no, yes, let’s have a bottle of Perrier-Jouët champagne.
I called Nancy over again. Nancy was a waiter, but she had an English name.
Lin Tianwen looked at the menu and almost vomited something sweet. He was really asking for trouble by pretending.
Italian cuisine is really not acceptable to everyone.
A sharing menu costs RMB 1,988 per person, plus an additional RMB 2,588 if paired with wine. A tasting menu costs RMB 1,688 per person, and a wine pairing with the meal costs RMB 2,688 per person. Of course, you can also order a la carte.
Look at the people in the restaurant, most of them order the set menu.
“Grilled Australian M8 sirloin wagyu steak with herbs, crispy suckling pig with orange caramel sauce, pan-fried Icelandic crayfish with potatoes, garlic, olive oil and paprika, bluefin tuna belly with anchovy sauce, basil and white beans
Salad, herb-marinated Australian carpaccio. That's it, right?" Lin Tianwen closed the menu and said, he really couldn't order anything. Several beauties at the next table were laughing at him. They all ordered the main course, so why not?
OK.
"Sir, would you like dessert?" Nancy asked with a smile.
"Just watch it."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Nancy took the menu and went to place the order.
The sommelier Jina brought the Perrier-Jouët over and poured a small half glass for Lin Tianwen.
I conveniently put the wine bottle on the wine rack.
Lin Tianwen raised his glass, shook it, smelled it, and added a little more alcohol to the sparkling water. He was so awesome, he used his photographic memory skills here.
While sipping champagne, I looked out the window at the lights, and the beautiful night view of Lujiazui unfolded in front of me.
Nancy came over quickly to serve the half-cooked dishes. Apart from the time required to arrange the dishes, Lin Tianwen thought that these dishes would not take more than 10 minutes in the hands of the chef.
He was lucky. Three of the five dishes he chose were in line with his taste, and he would order them next time. The other two were probably difficult.
The lady at the next table spent half an hour taking photos from serving to eating. In this time, Lin Tianwen had already finished the five dishes, and the table was already empty.
Nancy brought the dessert menu, and since she had never tasted it, Lin Tianwen chose three. They were cheap anyway, the most expensive one only cost 150.
Chapter completed!
