Chapter 347 Black Tang Monk and the Spider Spirits
At the entrance of the "Huang Gongzi" private kitchen restaurant, Sha Yongshan and Geng Liang sent Shen Yuan to the back seat of the Maybach and watched the black car slowly drive out.
"Director Sha, do you need to ask Lao Gao to keep an eye on Director Shen's schedule in the Magic City and the people he came into contact with during his time there?"
Geng Liang asked. He was Sha Yongshan's absolute confidant, otherwise he would not have been sent to pick him up at the airport, let alone stay here with him.
"No need. If he really wanted to participate in management, he wouldn't have come to the Magic City with such fanfare, and he certainly wouldn't have used the car I prepared for him."
The reason why Sha Yongshan has been able to work hard until now is not only because he has benefited from the dividends of the times, but also because he has his own way of doing things.
Although Zhu Lei supports him openly and secretly, Lao Sha will not blindly believe it, so he invited Shen Yuan to come to the Magic City.
Even though Shen Yuan was honest this time, he didn't completely believe it. He had to wait until Zhu Lei's son joined the company next year to confirm what he said was true.
"The way he speaks and acts really doesn't seem like a 22-year-old."
Sha Yongshan watched the Maybach turn the corner and disappear from sight. He gave his own evaluation and then asked, "Geng Liang, what do you think of him?"
Geng Liang thought for a moment and said, "I have a 22-year-old cousin. His family is actually quite well-off, but he has a very dull personality. He doesn't even know how to greet guests when they come. He's nowhere near as young and promising as Mr. Shen."
"yes."
Sha Yongshan said with emotion: "I have also come into contact with many capable young people, but they are basically in the 30-40 year old range. The key is that Shen Yuan is more than that, he also has a background. If you make an enemy with such a person, it will be a headache."
"No, Mr. Sha, Mr. Shen's visit is a signal of sincerity."
"I hope so."
After Sha Yongshan finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the restaurant. Suddenly, he remembered something: "My bastard is the same age as Shen Yuan. If he could speak and act half as well as he does, I wouldn't have to worry about him."
Geng Liang followed behind with a smile. Sha Yongshan was his direct leader. He could speak to his son, but not to himself.
"Geng Liang, you only have one son now. I suggest you have another one while your wife is still young, so you can train two more characters. Even if one fails, you still have the other one."
Geng Liang laughed it off and said, "Mr. Sha, Xiaoyu actually has a good foundation. Growth is always a process. Maybe he will be sensible in 1-2 years."
Sha Yongshan sneered, "You expect him to be sensible? He's lucky he doesn't cause me any trouble. This time he even asked his family to send a car to pick him up at the high-speed rail station. I'm too lazy to do that. I can just take a taxi myself."
"I don't know him yet. I guess he wants to show off in front of the girl again."
At this moment, Shen Yuan was sitting in the back seat of the Maybach with his eyes closed, resting. During this time, his cell phone rang twice. It was a message from Zhou Peiwei.
"Scumbag, I'll be at the high-speed rail station in less than two hours, remember to pick me up."
Shen Yuan shook his head. He had just drunk some wine and didn't have a lunch break, so he wanted to rest for a while.
And women can’t be spoiled. If I pick her up this time, I’ll have to pick her up every time next time, so Shen Yuan replied: “I’m still entertaining, I’ll send a car to pick you up.”
Zhou Peiwei: "Ah? But you promised to pick me up!"
Shen Yuan: "I did agree to pick you up, but I didn't say I would come to pick you up personally."
Zhou Peiwei: "!!!! I believed your lies again! If I could get off the high-speed train right now, I wouldn't even look back!"
Shen Yuan: "I'm sorry, on the day you return to Yanjing, I will definitely take you to the high-speed rail station or the airport in person, okay?"
Zhou Peiwei: "That's not enough! You still have to take care of food, drink and entertainment for the next two days!"
Shen Yuan: “No problem.”
After sending the message, Shen Yuan looked at the driver in the driver's seat and asked, "What's your name?"
“Mr. Shen, you can just call me Lao Gao.”
The driver was about 50 years old, with a simple and honest smile on his face, but there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and on his face.
"Okay, Lao Gao, I have a friend who's going to the high-speed rail station at 5 o'clock and I need you to pick her up. Her last name is Zhou. I'll send you her phone number later."
“Okay, Mr. Shen.”
Lao Gao nodded in agreement.
Shen Yuan often rides in the Alphard driven by Lao Xiang, and he can easily feel whether the car is driven steadily. He thinks Lao Gao also drives relatively steadily.
There is no aggressive acceleration or sudden braking, and the distance between the car in front and behind is maintained relatively well. In short, sitting in the back row gives people a sense of security.
It wasn't long before we arrived at the lobby of the Bulgari Hotel. Quite different from the Chinese courtyard style of the Waldorf Astoria, the Bulgari's lobby building is a fusion of Italian architecture and the unique Shanghai style.
I informed the front desk of my reservation, and soon a lady wearing black stockings, a dark business suit, and high heels came in.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Shen. Welcome to Bulgari. I'm your exclusive housekeeper, Wei Ya. This is my business card. From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly. I'll take you to your room now."
Viya showed a professional smile and handed over her business card with both hands, looking capable with her exquisite makeup.
"good."
Shen Yuan nodded, and Wei Ya even took Shen Yuan's suitcase considerately.
It was not known whether she did it intentionally or not, but the moment she took it, her tender fingers lingered on the back of Shen Yuan's hand for a while.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen."
Wei Ya said she was embarrassed, but there was no awkward expression on her face. She walked in front and said, "Mr. Shen, let's go."
Shen Yuan followed behind, shaking his head in his heart, going out to play for once, and there are fairies everywhere.
Wei Ya wore a tight skirt, twisting her steps to reveal the curve of her plump hips, and the black stockings under the skirt gave people a sense of unknown reverie.
Shen Yuan felt like he was Tang Monk, who had fallen into the Spider Cave, with spider spirits coveting him everywhere.
However, I should belong to the Black Tang Monk, the type who can eat spider spirits. Whether to eat it or how to eat it depends on myself.
While riding the elevator, Wei Ya asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, do you need me to introduce our hotel and the room type you booked?"
"Can."
"Mr. Shen, first of all, Bulgari is a well-known Italian luxury brand, affiliated with the LVMH Group. It was originally known for its jewelry and other businesses. Since 2001, Bulgari has begun to enter the field of luxury hotel management."
"The Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai opened in 2018 and is divided into two parts: the Chamber of Commerce Building where we just checked in, and the 48-story Bulgari Building. The top eight floors are the main part of the Bulgari Hotel."
"The hotel has 82 guest rooms and offers a variety of services including accommodation, dining, spa treatments, and fitness. The fitness area and swimming pool are located on the B1 floor. The entire fitness center covers an area of 2,000 square meters."
“.”
Going up to the 45th floor, Wei Ya almost finished introducing the background and situation of the hotel, then walked through the carpeted corridor and finally arrived at the suite booked by Shen Yuan.
Wei Ya helped Shen Yuan open the door and continued to introduce: “Mr. Shen, this is the room type you booked, the Deluxe Bund View Room.”
"This is one of our most expensive room types. It's 120 square meters and includes two bedrooms. The living room offers a 270-degree view of the Bund, which is even more beautiful at night."
Wei Ya introduced Shen Yuan with a smile.
Shen Yuan said "hmm" and followed Wei Ya into the room. If the Waldorf Astoria in Yanjing is a combination of modern and classical, then Bulgari is a combination of luxury and art.
Light yellow walls, simple ceiling, oak desk, the only abrupt color is the vermilion sofa, but it does not affect the style of the entire room.
The view outside the window is also quite nice.
Because I had stayed in a courtyard suite at the Waldorf before, I felt the strong Beijing flavor and down-to-earth nature of Yanjing.
This time, we were in a high-rise building in Shanghai, so when the entire Bund came into view, especially with the Oriental Pearl Tower opposite, I felt an indescribable sense of comfort in my heart.
“Mr. Shen, Bulgari has one of the best views of the Magic City Hotel. Not only can you overlook the entire Bund, but you can also see the Center Building, the World Financial Center, the Jinmao Tower, and the Oriental Pearl Tower.”
Wei Ya is a hotel staff member. She has seen many of these landscapes, but she is still very enthusiastic in introducing them to Shen Yuan.
“It’s really good.”
Shen Yuan nodded. If it were night time, the visual effect would be even better, because the buildings would be illuminated by lights and covered in various colors, which would definitely be dazzling and dreamy.
After Shen Yuan finished looking at the living room and bedroom, he came to the bathroom. He didn't expect that the area of the bathroom was not smaller than the bedroom, and like the living room, it also had a 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window.
"Mr. Shen, the bathroom is next to the dressing table. There's also a bathtub here. You can take a bath at night while sipping red wine and enjoying the night view of the Magic City."
Wei Ya sat next to the bathtub and smiled charmingly.
Shen Yuan smiled playfully: "This bathtub is so big and the night view is so beautiful, it would be a pity to soak in it alone."
"What does Mr. Shen mean?"
Wei Ya blinked her eyes provocatively, and before Shen Yuan could speak, she changed the subject again: "We also have professional spa and massage technicians, but whether they are willing to take a bath together depends on their wishes."
"We'll see when the time comes."
As expected, it was another old driver. Shen Yuan did not respond. He walked to the French window, overlooking the city for a while, and then walked out of the bathroom, casually saying:
"It's almost time. I want to take a nap first. Wei Ya, you can go ahead and do your thing. I'll call you when I'm free."
Wei Ya was slightly stunned. She didn't expect to be driven away like this. Could it be that her charm has not been fully released yet?
Those who can stay at Bulgari are either rich or noble, not to mention staying in the luxurious Bund view suites that cost five figures a night.
It is obvious that Mr. Shen has age and appearance in addition to wealth.
A hint of regret flashed across Wei Ya's eyes. She thought she had a good figure and appearance, but she didn't expect to be driven away like this.
Mr. Shen neither brought any girls with him nor showed any interest in her.
Could he be a bend?
But since he had already said that, Wei Ya had no choice but to walk out of the bathroom and greet Shen Yuan in the bedroom:
"Mr. Shen, I'll be leaving now. You should have a good rest. If you need anything, please call me at any time."
Shen Yuan was packing his luggage, and when he heard this, he simply sent her to the door.
When Wei Ya was about to go out, Shen Yuan gently patted her buttocks: "You should have a good rest too."
Wei Ya's face flushed, and she looked at Shen Yuan in embarrassment and shock. She really didn't expect him to do this suddenly.
But if it weren't for this, she would have thought Shen Yuan was gay.
"Why don't you leave and wait for me to eat you?"
Shen Yuan looked at her with a smile.
This disrupted Viya's rhythm and she ran out of the room in panic, but her heart was still beating fast until she got off the elevator.
Wei Ya, who hadn't felt this kind of throbbing for a long time, felt inexplicably nervous and excited.
Shen Yuan turned off all the lights and curtains in the bedroom, took off his clothes and pants neatly, got into bed, and then sent a message to Wei Ya.
"My friend will be here around 6:30. Could you please bring her up for me then?"
After sending the message, Shen Yuan sent a message to Zhou Peiwei, gave her his room number and Wei Ya's phone number, and then fell into a sweet dream.
When Zhou Peiwei received the message, the high-speed train was about to arrive at the station. She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Chen Yuan is really something, how can you ask a girl out like this, and let her go directly to his hotel room to find him!"
Zhou Peiwei puffed up her cheeks in anger and whispered to the girl next to her, "Bingying, I suddenly regret coming to the Magic City."
Luo Bingying, who was sitting by the window, was reading On Crime and Punishment. She glanced at Zhou Peiwei calmly and said, "You are rich anyway. After arriving in Shanghai, you can take the high-speed train back to Beijing."
"I'm sick. It takes another five hours to get back to Yanjing."
Zhou Peiwei said unhappily that she agreed to let Shen Yuan go out to play this time because, on the one hand, she really wanted to go out and relax, and on the other hand, Bingying was coming here to attend a wedding on behalf of her family, so she just happened to have a companion.
“Why are you unhappy? Didn’t Shen Yuan say he would come to pick you up?”
Luo Bingying asked.
Zhou Peiwei said bitterly, "He said he would send a car to pick me up, but he was busy with a social event and couldn't leave."
"Oh, that's it."
After hearing this, Luo Bingying felt quite sympathetic towards her best friend, but for some reason, she also felt inexplicably relieved.
That's really strange.
Pretty girls always attract attention wherever they go, let alone when two of them sit together.
There are quite a few young people in this carriage. Their restless hormones make them go back and forth to the bathroom frequently just to take a few more glances.
There were even a few brave ones who wanted to come up and chat with them.
Unfortunately, there was a disgusting boy sitting opposite the two girls. He always looked down on the boys who passed by, just like a tomcat peeing in public to declare that this was his territory.
So the boys had to put out the fire.
The boy was sullen to those around him, but he showed a flattering expression to the girl in front of him: "Pei Wei, since we're already in Shanghai, let me be the host. There's nothing in Shanghai that I'm not familiar with."
Zhou Peiwei frowned and said, "I told you, Sha Jiayu, call me by my full name. And I'm here to hang out with friends, so I don't need you to take me with me. Thank you."
"Your friend is my friend, we can play together. Besides, your friend is from another place, so he must be unfamiliar with this place. I'll take you guys."
The boy called "Sha Jiayu" said confidently.
Zhou Peiwei shook her head in her heart and didn't want to say anything more. This Sha Jiayu was really annoying. He had been bothering her since the beginning of the school year.
This time, I don't know where I got the news that she was coming to Shanghai, and I even found out the train number and bought a high-speed rail ticket for the same train.
In fact, he was not in the same carriage with the two of them, but in order to sit closer to them, he ran over and exchanged seats with the passenger opposite them.
The passenger didn't want to change at first, but Sha Jiayu transferred 500 yuan to him.
Zhou Peiwei felt that he was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be gotten rid of no matter what she did.
Before the train arrived at the station, Zhou Peiwei didn't say another word to him, but Sha Jiayu was still unwilling to give up and followed the two of them out of the station.
When he arrived at the exit parking lot, Zhou Peiwei looked around in confusion, not knowing which car it was, so he picked up his cell phone to make a call.
Sha Jiayu had already notified his family to send a car to pick him up, and sure enough, he saw the black Maybach.
"I thought it was the old 7 Series, but I didn't expect Dad to ask the driver to drive out this Maybach to show off his skills."
The corners of Sha Jiayu's mouth couldn't help but rise. Although his father spoke harshly, he actually had a soft heart.
"Pei Wei, my driver and car are here. I'll take you to whichever hotel you're staying in."
Sha Jiayu smiled and pointed at the Maybach.
Zhou Peiwei followed his gaze and saw the car, and was slightly startled.
In the afternoon, the driver called him and said that he had a black Maybach with the license plate number 668. How come Sha Jiayu's family also had a Maybach, and the license plate was 668?
Sha Jiayu was quite satisfied with Zhou Peiwei's expression. In his opinion, it was the Maybach that played a role. Coupled with the license plate number 668 of Shanghai A, the car was already very impressive.
And that's not all. Sha Jiayu also saw his driver, Lao Gao, get out of the car, wearing white gloves and a neat suit, and jogging towards him.
"Dad, that's great! He just gave me the most pomp and circumstance!"
Sha Jiayu was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He never received such treatment normally. Old Sha really gave him enough face today.
Sha Jiayu was even a little touched. He always went against Lao Sha at home, but he didn't expect Lao Sha to be so considerate of his feelings. It seemed that he really needed to learn something.
"This is my family's driver, his name is Lao Gao. He drives very steadily and has been with my father for 20 years."
Sha Jiayu introduced with a smile, took two steps forward, and said politely: "Uncle Gao, there's no need to be so polite, we can just get in the car by ourselves."
Lao Gao was also slightly stunned when he saw Sha Jiayu. Why was the young master here too? However, he came here today to pick up two girls on the instructions of a customer.
"What's the matter, Uncle Gao?"
Sha Jiayu's expression froze, as if he realized something was wrong.
The corners of Lao Gao's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to explain, so he nodded to Sha Jiayu first, and then said to Zhou Peiwei: "Miss Zhou, it was Director Shen who sent me to pick you up. Please give me your luggage."
