The delegation arrived at the hotel in silence. The hotel was decorated magnificently and the receptionist greeted everyone.
"Hello, do you have a reservation?" The receptionist smiled brightly and spoke fluent Cantonese.
"Yes." Yu Qi said, "Yu Qi, three double rooms and one single room have been booked." This was booked by the institute over the phone before departure.
There were eight of them in total. Except for Su Qingyun and Yu Qi who lived in single rooms, the rest of them lived in double rooms.
Hearing the unfamiliar Mandarin, the receptionist was visibly stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and switched to unskilled Mandarin with a strange and somewhat awkward intonation. "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll check the reservation records."
Soon, after confirming my identity, the receptionist smiled and said, "Everyone, please follow me upstairs."
Everyone who thought they had to take the stairs was taken to the elevator by the receptionist. In that era, there were very few places in Beijing with elevators, and most of the team members had never taken an elevator, so this was another novel experience for everyone.
Su Qingyun took a look and found that this elevator was one of those old-fashioned ones with manual sliding doors, but at that time, it was considered advanced.
In the elevator, someone suddenly said, "It would be great if every building we have has an elevator."
Yu Qi patted his shoulder and said, "I will." His tone was firm, as if he had already seen that day coming.
Yes, Su Qingyun said in his heart, not only elevators, not only high-rise buildings, but also many, many things will come, just need to wait for the flowers to bloom.
The elevator went all the way up to the third floor. The rooms for several people were next to each other. The receptionist gave the key to Yu Qi and said, "You can choose the room among yourselves."
"Thank you." Yu Qi took the key and gave it to Su Qingyun, the key to the innermost single room. He asked with some concern, "Is it okay for you to live alone?"
After all, she is just a little girl, and she is in such an unfamiliar city. Even if she is precocious, she will inevitably be a little scared. Thinking of this, Yu Qi felt a little regretful. He should have chosen a female team leader. They are all big and strong men, which would be inconvenient.
"No problem." Su Qingyun smiled easily. She was not really a girl in her teens. Besides, she had been to Gangcheng many times in her previous life and was much more familiar with it than Yu Qi. Of course, she couldn't say this out loud.
"That's good." Yu Qi felt a little relieved.
The receptionist smiled and said, "I'll be leaving first. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."
"OK, thanks."
The receptionist went downstairs.
Yu Qi distributed the keys to everyone and said, "Everyone, please stay in a room according to the group you were in before you came here. Now go back to your room to put your luggage, and then we will go out to eat."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
Su Qingyun also returned to the room and looked around. Although it was a single room, it was spacious enough and had everything it needed. She was still a little tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time. She lay down to rest for a while, and then she heard Chen Zheyu calling her outside the door.
"Qingyun, let's go out for dinner."
"Coming right up."
Su Qingyun got out of bed and washed his face. He felt more energetic before opening the door and going out. "Let's go, Senior Brother."
The delegation took the elevator downstairs again. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and before they had time to walk to the door, everyone heard the voice of the receptionist. She seemed to be chatting with someone.
"Hey, do you know how many guests from mainland China arrived at our hotel earlier? (Do you know how many guests from mainland China arrived at our hotel just now?)"
"No."
"There were about seven or eight of us, all from mainland China, and at first we didn't even know how to use an elevator."
"Hahaha, really?"
"That's right, it's so funny that he looks so naive." The receptionist laughed a few times.
No one in the delegation could understand Cantonese, except the Guangdong team member and Su Qingyun. When the Guangdong team member heard it, anger appeared on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Su Qingyun shaking his head at him.
He was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but still said nothing.
Everyone walked towards the door. When the receptionist saw them, she stopped laughing. Everyone felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it and walked out of the hotel.
Only the Guangdong team member and Su Qingyun heard it. Behind them, the receptionist continued to talk to someone else, "You know, someone said they wished their mainland China building had an elevator."
"I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. Their buildings in mainland China are only two or three stories high. Why would they need an elevator?"
“Hahahahahaha!”
The two of them smiled wantonly.
The Guangdong team members clenched their fists.
The smile on Su Qingyun's face disappeared. Looking at the passing taxi, she suddenly shouted loudly: "Taxi!"
He speaks very standard Cantonese.
Behind him, the laughter stopped abruptly.
