At 10 p.m. local time, Sherlock landed at Pulkovo Airport. The convoy sent by the Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace St. Petersburg had been waiting for a long time. After picking up the group, they went straight to the hotel.
The Lion Palace is a Tsarist palace built in the 19th century, close to the Winter Palace, the Mariinsky Theatre and Nevsky Prospekt. Xia Yu prefers this type of hotel with ancient buildings as the main body to the newly built skyscrapers.
When we arrived at the hotel entrance, we saw that under the light, this lemon yellow building exuded a unique charm. The stone lions on both sides of the door stepping on stone balls were full of exotic style, and their shapes were very different from those in China.
Just like he booked half of the Adlon Kempinski Hotel in Berlin before, Xia Yu also booked most of the Four Seasons Hotel Leo Palace for temporary accommodation for the 500 people participating in the interview.
Such luxurious conditions attracted the cash-strapped girls. They couldn't help but imagine how wonderful life would be after being selected.
Well, the pay might be good, but you have to learn how to clean up the shit first.
Xia Yu was lucky enough to smell some fresh shit at the zoo during the day. It was 10 times more lethal than cat feces, worthy of being a carnivore.
As a master, he certainly wouldn't clean up the shit, so these tasks naturally fell on the maids. There were also tasks like pruning the plant nursery, unclogging the sewers, and changing light bulbs. These were all part of Xia Yu's customized housekeeping classes.
Want to make money without doing anything?
Everyone, get up and work, no one is allowed to be lazy!
After checking in in the room, Xia Yu took a shower and went to bed. When he opened his eyes again, it was already 5 o'clock the next morning.
Xiaoxue and the others were in charge of the initial interviews, so he had two days off and could go shopping in St. Petersburg.
As the economic and political center of the United States, Moscow is more developed than St. Petersburg, but in terms of culture, the city under our feet is more beautiful.
Xia Yu asked the suite's private butler about the performance schedule at the Mariinsky Theatre.
How can you come to the United States and not watch ballet, not to mention that St. Petersburg is the cradle of American ballet.
He personally likes this form of artistic expression. Xiaoxue said that among the 500 people who came for the interview, dozens of them had studied ballet, and some were even working ballet dancers.
If you can't climb into the top few, no matter how good you are at ballet, you can't be as good as a maid. After all, if you don't get any performance invitations, you can only get a basic salary, and the prices in big cities like St. Petersburg are not low.
If Xia Yu wants, she can form a private ballet troupe among the maids and have a rich cultural and entertainment life on Kana Island.
"Mr. Sherlock, there's a performance by the Kirov Ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre tonight. They'll be performing the classic repertoire, Swan Lake."
Guests staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace generally won't miss the Mariinsky Theatre, so the private butler not only memorizes the daily performance schedule, but can also help get VIP tickets.
"Thank you so much, I don't have anything to do tonight."
Xia Yu directly set the itinerary for tonight.
Symphony is a feast for the ears, and ballet is a feast for the eyes and ears, and he will enjoy it.
As for the daytime itinerary, Xia Yu planned to visit the Winter Palace, which is one of the four largest museums in the world along with the Daying Museum. It has countless art collections, not to mention that the October Revolution successfully occupied the Winter Palace with a single gunshot.
Since he was in St. Petersburg and lived so close, of course he had to go and take a look, and he also liked visiting museums.
The ticket issue was taken care of by the private butler named Shelov. The young man offered to act as a tour guide and accompany Xia Yu to visit the Winter Palace.
This is quite good. Feng Manxue and Yuan Qiansui are both busy with interviews, and the newcomers don’t know much about Osmium Country. He is in need of a local guide.
"Sherov, let's speak Russian. I've learned Russian."
Xia Yu renewed his Slavic language buff for another week yesterday. It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the language land, so he took this opportunity to accumulate more language learning experience.
"Mr. Sherlock, I didn't expect you to speak Russian so well."
Shelov praised with some surprise.
After he knew that the hotel would serve this young Chinese tycoon, he learned a lot about him, and the more he learned about him, the more impressed he was with his achievements.
"I'm good at languages. I can speak a little French and Italian."
Xia Yu learned these two languages during his communication buff period, but he didn't learn German at that time.
While chatting with Shelov, breakfast had already been delivered to the room. Xia Yu started eating breakfast and then picked up his mobile phone to read the electronic version of the briefing.
Although I am abroad, I still have to pay attention to domestic affairs. If I encounter important matters, I can even give remote commands. Fortunately, everything has been calm during this period and nothing major has happened.
After reading the briefing and finishing breakfast, Xia Yu logged into the system again to sign in.
“Sign in!”
"Ding, 340 million rubles have been deposited into your foreign currency account!"
With so much money, Xia Yu instantly felt like a rich man, but these 340 million rubles were still converted to 30 million RMB, the same as before, neither more nor less.
If you have money, you should go shopping. This money alone is enough to cover all his expenses in the next few days, but he receives 340 million rubles every day, which he can never spend.
Alas, the troubles of happiness.
Xia Yu switched to the lottery interface.
"lottery!"
[Congratulations to the host for winning the special item: Amber Room Treasure Map]
It was another special item. Seeing that this time it was a treasure map, Xia Yu became interested.
In addition to the secret base, the man also likes treasures. He read treasure hunting novels such as "Treasure Island" when he was a child. When he grew up, he liked reading online novels. He has read many novels about treasure hunting around the world, treasure hunting on the battlefields of World War II, and treasure hunting at auctions in Magnesium warehouses. He also longs to search for treasures everywhere like the protagonists in the novels.
