Because the central government had repeatedly ordered them to be frugal, and considering that Chen Hong was also a county magistrate after all, Zhao Gangjun booked a decent three-star hotel for them.
Of course, this hotel is not booked casually. Although it is only a three-star hotel, in a place like Beijing where dragons and tigers are entrenched, this hotel is actually enough to be regarded as a four-star hotel. It does not have a four-star brand, mainly because it is here.
Many of the people who spend money in the hotel are from the government.
Therefore, although the hotel is a three-star hotel, the supporting facilities and various things inside are all four-star standards. According to Zhao Gangbeng, this is considered acceptable, because even if the Fang Ya Group receives municipal cadres,
I have been to this hotel several times and no one thought it was downgraded.
"Three-star!"
Liu Yuanling frowned and looked around.
This Liu Yuanling is Chen Shi's mother.
"Don't forget that this hotel has a three-star brand, but it is actually a four-star hotel. The facilities are relatively good among the four-stars, so uncles and aunts can rest assured to stay here. I'll give it to you."
You two have booked a large suite. As for this sister, I haven't booked a room yet because I didn't know she was coming, but I will book one now," Zhao Gangjun said.
"I'm not a younger sister. Don't treat me like an elder just because I'm young."
Sophie rolled her eyes at Zhao Gangjun, and then said, "You don't have to book it for me separately. Just change Uncle Chen's room into a presidential suite. The presidential suite has more than one room. We can live together. Uncle Chen, what do you think?"
right?"
"That's okay, but the presidential suite is not cheap. Xiao Zhao, if it doesn't work, just open another room for her." Chen Hong said.
"it's okay no problem."
Zhao Gangjun smiled and said, "It's a rare occasion, so I'll change rooms."
After saying that, Zhao Gangjun pushed his luggage towards the front desk, and Zhao Yan quickly followed.
"Brother, you have been wronged."
Zhao Yan whispered.
"What's wrong with it?"
Zhao Gangjun said with a smile, "You and Chen Shi are getting along. If people come to see you and don't give you a thumbs up, who will listen to who if you two really get married in the future? We are also in the capital after all, and we both have the capital's registered residence.
Regarding these people from outside, no matter what we do, they will always feel that they are inferior to us, so we don’t blame them for making things difficult for us. If I were in their position, I might be like this, haha.”
"Brother, you are so kind."
Zhao Yan put her feet up and kissed Zhao Gangjun on the face. By chance, Chen Hong and others behind him saw this scene.
"Son, this Zhao Yan seems to be a bit unstable." Chen Hong frowned and said, "Although she is from the capital, her family background is still a bit different from ours."
"Dad, Yan'er's temperament is like this. She won't hide it. She has a very good relationship with her brother. It is said that her brother raised her since she was a child, because her parents don't take care of things." Chen Shi said.
"No wonder he looks a little uneducated."
Sophie on the side wrinkled her nose and said, "Chen Shi, I don't like her."
"You, you, Yan'er is fine. Let me tell you, don't make things difficult for her. Although her family situation is not as good as ours, at least she is a good person." Chen Shi said.
"We have our own rules, so don't worry about it." Chen Hong shook his head and said, "I will take you to have dinner with the old leader tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night? Fourth brother Zhao has plans for tomorrow night." Chen Shi said hesitantly, "He specially found a restaurant and wanted to treat us..."
"Then let's postpone it to the day after tomorrow."
Chen Hong said with a straight face, "It's rare for the old leader to be free. I'll go to the Great Wall tomorrow morning and noon, and I'll have dinner with the old leader tomorrow night. That's it. Then, you can bring Zhao Yan and Zhao Si with you.
We are outsiders, and when we come to a place like the capital, we have to do something to support the scene, so as not to make people look down on us. Of course, they have nothing to look down on us, haha."
Chen Shi frowned and said nothing more.
"Okay, the room is ready."
Zhao Gangjun walked up to Chen Hong and others with the room card and said, "908, let's send the luggage up first."
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Xiao Zhao."
Chen Hong smiled and nodded to Zhao Gangjun, then turned around and led Liu Yuanling and Sophie towards the elevator.
Chen Shiyong was originally going to come over to help with the luggage, but Sophie grabbed his arm and had no choice but to follow him to the elevator.
"It seems that Chen Shi and Sophie are not very clear about each other."
Zhao Gangjun said to Zhao Yan as he walked.
"They are childhood sweethearts."
Zhao Yan said nonchalantly, "But Chen Shi treats her just like his younger sister."
Looking at Zhao Yan's indifferent look, Zhao Gangjun sighed. His sister, because of her family background and her own relationship, has basically had so much self-confidence that she can be compared with him. Therefore, some women are petty, and she is basically the same.
No.
Only women who are absolutely confident will not be petty, because they will not be afraid of anything, such as the provocation of other women.
Because they are fully confident that any provocation from a woman will be just a cloud in front of them.
Zhao Gangjun didn't know whether this kind of confidence was good or bad for Zhao Yan. Although he was a playboy himself, he really didn't want his sister's boyfriend to have another woman.
If Chen Shi really had an affair with Sophie, then Zhao Gangjun would definitely not mind burying them both, even if his sister objected.
In the Zhao family, it is Zhao Gangjun who has the final say. Even if it is what kind of man or woman his younger brothers and sisters find, he still has the final say.
This is Zhao Gangrong's absolute rule over the Zhao family.
It can be said that, except for the first ancestor of the Zhao family who laid the foundation of the Zhao family, Zhao Gangjun's dominance over the Zhao family is definitely the strongest and most authoritative among all the Zhao family heads.
Even though he usually looks like a harmless person with a smile on his face, no one in Zhao Mansion dares to truly offend Zhao Gangjun.
Zhao Gangjun and Zhao Yan pushed their luggage toward the elevator together. When they reached the elevator entrance, they didn't expect that there were already many people in the elevator, so they had to get off.
After finally going upstairs, the two pushed their luggage to the door of the presidential suite opened for Chen Hong and the others. As soon as they entered, they heard Liu Yuanling's voice.
"This is the presidential suite?"
Liu Yuanling said dissatisfiedly, "Look at the decoration and the furniture. Is this hotel really a three-star hotel? Isn't it a cheap hotel?"
"That's right, Aunt Yuanling, look at this sofa, how old it is!"
Sophie pointed to the old sofa next to her and said.
Zhao Gangjun was a little speechless. This hotel has been in the capital for a long time and has received many foreign guests. In the capital, when you look for a hotel, it’s nothing special. You have to find a hotel with a bit of age.
That's what it means to really understand the capital. Obviously, the two people in front of them don't understand, and they don't understand that the so-called old sofa has been used by many leaders in the past.
Zhao Gangjun naturally can't say this to others, otherwise you will be showing off.
People can be stupid or uneducated, but if you show off, it's your fault. Especially if you show off to uneducated people, it will appear that you are of lower class.
"Mom and Dad, this is Brother Zhao's wish. How could you do this?"
Chen Shi couldn't stand it either, and said angrily, "That's not how you behave at home."
"Okay, okay, I think this room is nice, at least the view is good."
At this time, Chen Hong came out and made a fool of himself, which actually relieved the atmosphere.
"Okay, let's just stay here for a while. Who, Xiao Zhao, can help us carry our luggage up there?" Liu Yuanling said and walked upstairs.
Zhao Gangjun directly picked up the luggage and followed him upstairs.
After settling in, Chen Hong and Liu Yuanling said they wanted to go see their old boss first, so they would not go with Zhao Gangjun and the others. Sophie, on the other hand, suggested going shopping in Wangfujing, a relatively familiar place in the capital.
"Okay, let's just take a stroll. When you're tired of wandering, you can just eat nearby." Zhao Gangjun said with a smile.
A group of people drove a Buick business car to Wangfujing Street.
At this time, Sophie had already put on a pair of sunglasses.
Although the sun is not very dazzling, the LV logo on these sunglasses is quite conspicuous.
"Where is the LV store here, Zhao Yan?" Sophie asked as soon as she started shopping.
"I don't know either."
Zhao Yan shook her head.
"Why, you haven't been there?" Sophie asked in surprise.
"Never been."
Zhao Yan continued to shake her head.
"Oh, Zhao Yan, you are going to be my sister-in-law after all. From now on, the taste and quality of life will have to be improved a bit." Sophie sighed, "Luxuries, for you,
, it may be difficult to achieve, but it is okay to buy some entry-level things, which cost 1,800 yuan, otherwise how can you compete with our brother Chen Shi? Brother Chen Shi, don’t you think so?"
"This thing is of no use."
Chen Shi frowned and said, "I don't think it is necessary to use these luxury goods."
"Luxury...product?lv?"
Zhao Yan seemed a little surprised.
"Yes, what else?" Sophie looked at Zhao Yan like she was a country bumpkin.
Zhao Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhao Gangjun, with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Zhao Gangjun sighed. For the children who grew up in the Zhao family, things like LV are really no different from Adidas. Even Hermès can barely be regarded as daily necessities. For people like Zhao Yan, it is really
The only things that can be considered luxury goods are those that are personally customized.
For example, the suit Zhao Yan wears was specially customized for her by a senior designer in Milan. There is only one set in the world. There is no logo on the suit, but the sleeves of the suit are embroidered by one of the designers.
Sign, the material of this set of clothes alone is enough to buy half a car of LV bags, not to mention the design and workmanship of the clothes. The cost of this set of clothes is more than seven figures.
