Chapter 326: Journey South Part 4: Really Patient
I put my phone in my trouser pocket and called Mr. Chen immediately. He took it out and looked at it, and was about to speak. I said, "Mr. Chen, Director Lu wants to see you."
It's clearly my phone number, why is it Director Lu's? He was stunned for a moment.
I said to Mr. Shu, "Mr. Shu, wait a moment, someone is looking for Mr. Chen."
Mr. Chen understood. I followed him out of the living room, but unfortunately Secretary Ma and Ning Jing were completely unaware.
I winked at Mr. Chen and gestured for him to hurry up.
Mr. Chen was stunned again. If someone else had hinted at him like this, he would definitely not have listened. And in his mind, Wan Shanhong always seemed to have some kind of superpower.
He seemed to understand and turned to go back in. Ning Jing had already spent 8,000 yuan to buy a jade pendant.
Mr. Chen clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shu, we still have some things to deal with. We came back from Hanoi and then came to visit you."
Everyone stood up to say goodbye. Ning Jing and Secretary Ma, in particular, actually thought that Mr. Chen was dealing with something.
Boss Shu walked them to the door of the store, and seemed to have forgotten about giving each person a piece of jade.
When we turned around, I looked back and saw Boss Shu immediately turn around and walk into the restaurant. After getting in the car, I sent a WeChat message to Mr. Chen.
When he saw it, he saw it was a message from me: Don't talk about jade in the car.
As soon as Mr. Chen got in the car, he said, "I need to rest, everyone should rest too. The distance is not far, but there is no highway. It will take six or seven hours."
Everyone fell silent. Even Hongzhi half-closed his eyes to rest.
After all, six hours was unbearable. As we approached Hanoi, Hongzhi noticed that everyone was busy checking their phones and began to introduce us: "Hanoi is a thousand-year-old capital, and now has a population of over 7 million..."
In fact, everyone has already searched for these basic things on the Internet, so they can feel the real fireworks life through the car window.
Due to the time difference, it should be 8pm in China, but 7pm in Hanoi. It's still light out, and the streetlights are gradually illuminating. It's truly a nation of motorcyclists, one per person. Some people are even crossing the road carrying baskets of vegetables.
This scenery, which has almost disappeared in major cities in China, piqued our interest. Hongzhi said, "Hanoi doesn't have a subway, and the best light rail was built with our help."
The world's chain of contempt is first built on the perception of material things.
For example: If the shirt you wear costs one thousand yuan, you will look down on those that cost one hundred yuan.
If you live in a city where vegetable vendors only walk around in the market, you will despise those who walk on the streets.
In your city, almost everyone has a car, so you will look down on people who ride on electric motorcycles.
Everyone immediately found a psychological advantage and became more active.
As the car entered the old city, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.
The capital? What's the capital like?
Hongzhi had already booked dinner at a fairly fashionable restaurant. It was a regular Vietnamese meal. I don't remember the restaurant's name, but I saved a copy of it. Next time you're in Hanoi, you can look for it. The address is:
55DuongThanhStreet,Floor6thofHanoiMarvellousHotel,HoanKiemDistrict
The environment can be described as "elegant". Unlike the round tables in China, most of the tables here are square or long, with chairs around and wooden floors.
Although the streets are not very good, Hanoi's catering industry is very developed. There are street food stalls that are full of the flavor of life, and the environment of high-end restaurants is no less than that of first-tier cities in China.
Hongzhi said, "Let's eat authentic Vietnamese food."
After a while, Vietnamese girls in Ao Dai costumes served us spring rolls, crab meat and asparagus soup, Hanoi grilled fish, Vietnamese rice noodles, desserts and other delicacies.
Everyone tasted it and found that it really had a unique flavor.
Having bought the "authentic" jade, Ning Jing clenched her fists and swayed her body from side to side: "Let your tongue taste the world, that is the real world."
Secretary Ma must have realized that she had been cheated out of buying the jade bracelet, and she said with a double meaning: "Your tongue will never deceive you. If it tastes good, it tastes good."
Ningjing didn't hear it.
After dinner, we checked into the Green Diamond Hotel. We showered first and then went to the night market.
My pen is too weak to describe the prosperity and bustle of the night market. Simply put, the subtropical monsoon brings seeds to the ground and flowers to bloom.
The night market here is the same, with all kinds of snacks everywhere and a constant stream of people, making people feel that everyone is paying and everyone is making money.
Hongzhi said, "Mr. Chen, investing in the restaurant industry in Hanoi is a good choice. You see, all they do is eat. Just kidding, a friend of mine is renovating his hotel. To meet deadlines, he offered his workers double the wages for overtime, but they refused to work and went out to drink beer that night."
Everyone laughed and said that this place is comparable to Chengdu, Changsha and Guangzhou in China.
Secretary Ma said: "When people from Chengdu travel, they move their mahjong table to another place. When people from Changsha travel, they move their late-night snack stalls to another place. When people from Guangdong travel, they move their morning tea to another place."
Ning Jing said: "It's all the same. When Chinese people travel, they just take pictures in different places and post them on WeChat Moments."
After she reminded me of this, I immediately asked Ning Jing to take several photos of me and took some street photos myself and sent them to my brother-in-law.
We swam for three hours before returning.
Mr. Chen was really calm and composed. When we got back to the hotel, he said to me, "Come to my room and sit down. Let's talk about Hongzhi."
