Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Atmosphere Terminator
"Want to go to the central top floor and take a look?"
As soon as they entered the Central Hotel, Jiang Yiyu immediately suggested going to the rooftop to take a look, but for some reason Cheng Shuze refused to agree and insisted on waiting until it was completely dark before agreeing to go.
Probably some surprise event or something.
We had lunch in the business hall on the third floor. The starry sky corridor covered with diamonds reflecting shimmering light and the pillarless banquet hall that can accommodate 4,000 people are undoubtedly the best choice for various summits, forums, evening parties and other large-scale events in the future.
Cheng Shuyi raised his hand with great interest and tried to touch the sparkling diamond surface embedded directly on the top of the corridor.
"Real diamond?"
"Yes." Huang Wen nodded. "Ten thousand small diamonds with a VVS1 clarity and weighing between 10 and 25 points."
Broken diamonds of this weight are usually used as auxiliary inlays. Of course, a single diamond is not as valuable as other diamonds, but to gather so many high-clarity diamonds, the cost of building this corridor alone is estimated to be at least in the hundreds of millions.
Even if ordinary banquet halls need that kind of grand and luxurious reflected light, they usually use artificial diamonds, crystals or glass to reduce costs. Cheng's actually inlaid real diamonds in one go, just like wholesale cabbages, and they can be displayed here without worrying about being stolen.
"Damn." Cheng Shuyi was a little distorted, and turned to glare at her brother in disbelief.
I know that the family has become much richer recently thanks to her brother's hard work, but I didn't expect them to become so rich. Her brother just told her a few days ago that she was too extravagant recently and should reduce the amount of pocket money she spends.
The bags she bought weren't even worth one tenth of the cost of building this corridor.
The financial constraints were just an excuse. He just couldn't stand her being so close to Sister Jiang.
"Like this?" Cheng Shuze rarely paid attention to his sister. "I remember there should be some left after the laying is completed. I'll ask them to give you one."
Cheng Shuyi: “…”
"I don't want it! Are you trying to trick me into giving me something like this as a gift again? I don't want it. I want a super big, bling-bling one."
He generously picked out a broken diamond from the pile of unused materials and gave it to her, which really fits the fake brother-sister relationship between them.
Cheng Shuyi firmly dispelled her brother's idea of just giving her a perfunctory gift for this year. Cheng Shuze felt a little regretful that he could not save a large sum of money this year.
It was the first day today and we were unable to shoot any big scenes, so we had to wander around the resort. After dinner and nightfall, we received a notice from our subordinates that Cheng Shuze, sitting in the driver's seat of the sightseeing bus, was excited to take Jiang Yiyu to the top floor of the hotel.
"I want to go too, I want to go too." Cheng Shuyi shamelessly moved into the back seat.
"Sister Cheng, sister, I suddenly remembered that I need to take a set of beach art photos for you. Why don't we take them now?"
Even though it was dark, President Cheng's glare was still as sharp as ever. In order to avoid being accidentally hurt by President Cheng's indiscriminate attack, Wu Jun and the others immediately rushed forward and took Cheng Shuyi down from the car from the left and right.
"I'm not filming, I want to see ummmmm!"
"Don't go, I want to see the garden too!"
The only sounds that responded to her were the approaching roar of the waves and the roar of the sightseeing bus going away.
Only Mr. Cheng can drive a sightseeing bus like a sports car.
Sitting in the enclosed passenger seat that didn't let in a single breath of cold wind, Jiang Yiyu warmed her hands with a hot and fragrant roasted sweet potato wrapped in a greaseproof paper bag, her eyes curved with a smile.
This roasted sweet potato was personally delivered to her by the general manager not long ago.
The dishes were small and exquisite, as was the standard for high-end business banquets, and each one was made with great delicacy. After the meal, Jiang Yiyu took a walk on the beach, sniffing the biting cold wind. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to eat some warm roasted sweet potatoes. Unfortunately, there were no carts selling sweet potatoes in the mid-to-high-end resort, so she could only complain regretfully.
Who would have thought that after a while, someone stuffed a steaming and roasted sweet potato into her hand. Jiang Yiyu couldn't help laughing when she thought about being asked to bury a roasted sweet potato in the kitchen that was preparing all kinds of exquisite top-quality Chinese and Western dishes in an orderly manner.
"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Shuze curled his lips. Seeing Jiang Yiyu start to peel the rough skin of the sweet potato, he couldn't help but remind her, "Be careful, it's hot."
After holding it in her hand for a long time, it was finally not as hot as before. Jiang Yiyu blew on it and peeled off the skin bit by bit, revealing the golden inside. She broke off a small half and handed it to Cheng Shuze's mouth. Cheng Shuze lowered his head and ate most of it in one bite with her hand, gasping for breath due to the heat.
"Slow down." Jiang Yiyu peeled off the remaining blackened skin and ate the remaining half. She was worthy of being equipped with a first-class team. The sweet potato was roasted until it was sugary and the rich aroma spread between her lips and teeth. She felt like she was stuffed into a warm cotton blanket. The taste was no worse than the sweet potato oven on the roadside.
"Is it sweet?" Jiang Yiyu asked.
"Not bad." Seeing that Jiang Yiyu liked it very much, Cheng Shuze pursed his lips and expressed his approval. He would tell someone to add roasted sweet potatoes to the menu.
The beach where they were strolling in the Central Hotel was not far away, and the sightseeing bus arrived in a few minutes. Cheng Shuze drove the car directly up the curved stairs and parked it at the hotel gate where parking was not allowed.
The sightseeing bus was quite cramped and dim, and the movements of the people inside could not be seen clearly from outside. Jiang Yiyu grabbed the sleeve of Cheng Shuze who was about to get off the bus.
"What's wrong..." Cheng Shuze just turned his head when an exceptionally soft and sweet kiss was imprinted on his cheek.
Or it could be said that it hit his side face. Jiang Yiyu obviously came over and did not brake, and bumped into him head-on.
The kiss was so sudden that even Cheng Shuze was stunned for a moment.
"..." Jiang Yiyun blinked her long eyelashes twice, then stepped back a little, her tone becoming more serious, "It was an accident, I kissed the wrong place."
Cheng Shuze: “…”
From the lobby all the way to the elevator, Cheng Shuze touched his cheek, which still felt soft, with a bit of disappointment.
The obvious meaning of Jiang Yiyu's last sentence was that this was supposed to be a kiss.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yiyun ran away immediately after her success. Before Cheng Shuze could react and catch her, she got out of the car. Cheng Shuze was left alone in the dark night, vaguely recalling the touch just now, and finally got out of the car reluctantly.
Jiang Yiyu was holding a paper bag containing the remaining roasted sweet potatoes, with a smug smile on her face, like a kitten that had successfully stolen some fish.
However, this feeling of pride only lasted until I entered the VIP elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Cheng Shuze used his card to swipe to the 101st floor, the highest floor that the super-high-speed elevator could reach. As soon as the door closed, the tall figure reflected in the clear door of the elevator completely enveloped her.
"Accident, huh? Did you kiss the wrong person?" Cheng Shuze's gentle breath penetrated into her eardrum, and the handcuffs around her waist tightened tightly.
At least it wasn't some old-fashioned press-against-the-elevator-wall pose.
Jiang Yiyu's mind was in a mess. She tried to break free from Cheng Shuze's embrace, but as soon as she raised her hand, she realized that there was probably no need to try anymore as she couldn't break free at all.
"I said it was an accident..." Jiang Yiyu finally struggled to defend herself.
Cheng Shuze chuckled softly: "You kiss me or I kiss you?"
Playing this same multiple-choice question again, Jiang Yiyun puffed up her cheeks and looked up at the top of the elevator: "There are surveillance cameras."
"No."
"impossible."
"I'll have someone strangle me then."
Jiang Yiyu wanted to say something else, but Cheng Shuze was already impatient to listen. He pressed the back of Jiang Yiyu's neck with his right hand to make her turn her head.
"Open your mouth and kiss."
When an ultra-high-speed elevator rises rapidly from the first floor, changes in air pressure usually cause people to experience symptoms such as tinnitus. Actions such as swallowing or chewing can effectively balance ear pressure and relieve symptoms.
Jiang Yiyu didn't feel that she had any tinnitus at all. She actually hoped that she could have some short-term tinnitus symptoms so that she could temporarily stop hearing the lingering sounds that echoed in her ears as if they were deep enough to penetrate into her nerves and bones.
"Breathe, dear." After a fierce exchange of breathing, Cheng Shuze had time to pause, then stroked her neck and pinched her jaw to make her continue to raise her head.
The numbers on the floor display were scrolling rapidly, and when they reached three digits, Cheng Shuze calmly let her go.
Jiang Yiyu closed her misty eyes and grabbed Cheng Shuze's collar, trying to cover up the spreading marks.
Cheng Shuze held her hand: "No one."
The smooth metal elevator doors slid to both ends, revealing the hazy silhouettes of the interior.
"You are the first one to see the entire sea of flowers in the clouds."
Apart from the staff who came up to arrange the sea of flowers in the clouds, Cheng Shuze and Jiang Yiyu were the first to arrive in this fleeting world.
The 101st floor had obviously been decorated. The flower sea built on the outer layer only revealed vague and undulating shadows in the dark night. The aerial flower sea inside was hanging with vines and had a rich fragrance. The lights and candles lit every five meters on the ancient path became the source of all light and shadow in the room.
Thousands of plump flowers drooping from the branches stretch out their most gorgeous postures in the hazy and swaying firelight.
When Huang Wen introduced the flower sea to them outside, she said that not many flowers were used. This was an understatement. When they looked closely indoors, they saw that the large indoor area plus the outer circle alone showed that the number of flowers used in the cloud flower sea was no less than she had expected.
The waves overlapped to form a vast ocean.
Jiang Yiyu lowered her fingertips and brushed across the petals, discovering that the place was full of roses of various colors and varieties.
"It's quite suitable for a marriage proposal." Jiang Yiyu murmured softly.
Cheng Shuze raised his eyebrows slightly.
There is a spiral staircase on the 101st floor leading to the 102nd floor, which the elevator cannot reach directly. When you go up to 102nd, you will see a wide area in the middle which is a temperature-controlled greenhouse covered entirely with glass. From a distance, you can see an upright platform in the center of the greenhouse, but you can't see clearly what is on the platform.
"What's in there?" Jiang Yiyu was quite curious.
"That..." Cheng Shuze tightened his clasped hands and looked at Jiang Yiyu deeply, "I won't tell you for now."
It was rare that Cheng Shuze didn't tell her something. Jiang Yiyu raised her eyebrows and was about to ask, but Cheng Shuze had already pushed open the isolation door and pulled her onto the terrace.
The resort has just started operation and many lighting equipment on the surface have not yet been deployed, so there is no visual effect of a starry sky from a high vantage point.
However, Cheng Shuze didn't ask her to look down, but to look up at the sky.
Jiang Yiyun suddenly had an idea: "Do you want to set off fireworks?"
As soon as the question was raised, a bunch of brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed in the boundless sky.
Jiang Yiyun almost pounced on Cheng Shuze and held him down: "Wait! Wait!"
Cheng Shuze, who brought Jiang Yiyu to the highest skyline on time, was startled.
"Tell them to wait a moment. I remember I need to record it with the camera."
"? Why take pictures at this time?" Cheng Shuze was stunned. He was showing it to Jiang Yiyu, what did she want to do?
"We must have materials for the promotional video." However, at this time, Jiang Yiyu showed her extraordinary professional stubbornness.
"Never mind the promotional video."
"No, just ask them to wait a moment, I'll be right back."
"Hello!"
Cheng Shuze didn't even bother calling out to Jiang Yiyu. Someone stuffed the bag of leftover roasted sweet potatoes into his hand, and he watched Jiang Yiyu trot down the stairs.
"Tell them to stop immediately! Wait a moment before setting off again!" The atmosphere was ruined, and Mr. Cheng, who was furious in an instant, immediately issued an order to his subordinates.
