Chapter 963 because, so
The Peninsula Hotel's sea view restaurant not only provides a variety of delicacies, but also allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Victoria Harbour while dining.
However, the face on each round dining chair made Bao Wenxian and Wang Danfeng feel that this design was too weird.
But after discovering it, Mishasha covered her mouth and let out a depressing scream. She hugged Li Xueyao's arm and was so excited that she went crazy.
Li Xueyao also thought the faces on the dining chair were interesting, but she still pressed Mishasha tightly and lowered her voice to remind her. "Reserved, reserved! You want to be a lady!"
Mishasha's face was bitter in an instant. "Yaoyao! I definitely have no possibility of being a lady. Seeing these faces, I don't think I'm sorry for the designer. It's so cute..."
Xi Mengmeng, who came with Fu Zhengyi, saw that they had arrived, saw that they had arrived, but she walked to Mishasha and laughed. "Wow! Our big hero has arrived? Sorry, sorry, I'm talking to him just now..."
She called her this at the airport. Even if Mishasha was so embarrassed, she was embarrassed even if she was rough, but she saw Xi Mengmeng's cheongsam not only made her curves convex, but she still felt a sense of distance that made people dare not be close. She looked down at the airport on her chest and looked at the airport on her chest, but she still pouted on purpose. "Sister Mengmeng, don't say that, I will be proud..."
Although facing Mishasha, Xi Mengmeng's eyes fell on Li Xueyao who was holding her arm. She was both curious and jealous of this little girl, so she took Mishasha's arm and smiled. "It's okay! You should not only be proud, but also be more arrogant! You must face everything with this attitude! Don't be timid, you are the protagonist of the awards ceremony..."
Admire the sea view and enjoy the delicious food, the rich lunch relieves the mood of the mother and daughter.
When a foreigner wearing a red kitchen towel and a white chef's hat brought the desserts, he did not leave like the waiters before and introduced the name. Xi Mengmeng stood up in surprise. "Oh my God! You, aren't you the executive chef here?"
The old man nodded and greeted his chest, then asked. "Welcome to the Peninsula Hotel. I wonder if this meal will satisfy you?"
Mishasa, who was the fastest moving, had already tasted the dessert, and when she heard this, she gave the old man a thumbs up. "It's delicious! This is the best meal I've ever eaten..."
"Thank you! 'Taste' is the highest praise for the chef. Please give me any instructions if you need anything!"
Mishasa raised her hand. "Can you visit your kitchen?"
The old man hesitated for a while and smiled and raised his hand to signal, "No problem! Please come with me..."
"Yeah! You can visit the kitchen!" Mishasha screamed excitedly while picking up the camera from her bag. "Yaoyao! Hurry up..."
When Li Xueyao saw her mother glaring and shook her head, she only gave up the idea of going together. "Forget it, you'd better go, I'm not interested in going to the kitchen..."
"Go! This is the kitchen of a five-star hotel. Have you forgotten the scenes in the movies I watched before?"
"No! I'm not interested in the kitchen! It's oily and smells of smoke, it's choking..."
He bared his teeth at her to show his contempt, and Mishasha dragged her mother and followed the old man to the kitchen.
Seeing that Li Xueyao seemed to be a little resentful about her mother's stop, Xi Mengmeng tasted the dessert and narrowed her eyes and said to Fu Zhengyi. "By the way, why did she choose to live here? The distance here is a bit far from the awards ceremony venue..."
Fu Zhengyi glanced at the mother and daughter who were angry, and then smiled and said, "Can you see the moonlight in your room?"
Xi Mengmeng was confused and racked her brains and didn't know what this sentence meant.
"Is this sentence from Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in the City"?"
Li Xueyao's timid response not only made Xi Mengmeng stunned, but even her mother Bao Wenxian looked shocked.
Fu Zhengyi turned to Li Xueyao. "When did you read this book?"
"Well...it should be last summer vacation..."
"If you have the chance, you can look at the old movie "Love in the City". The scenes in the movie were completed in this hotel. It is precisely because this movie made the Peninsula Hotel famous and loved by people. Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in the City" can be said to have benefited the Peninsula Hotel a lot, especially 'I always want to go to your room to see the moonlight', which has become the most romantic unofficial advertising slogan of the Peninsula Hotel..."
Xi Mengmeng looked shocked. "Wow! Fu Zhengyi, can you know anything like this?"
Seeing that Li Xueyao's face was a little flushed, Fu Zhengyi turned to Bao Wenxian. "Auntie, did you notice the hotel doorman when you entered the hotel gate before?"
"Oh, yes! I was wondering at that time that the doorman should be a child or a teenager? Why are the doorman here so old?"
"Clark Gable, who has played the male lead in "Gone with the Wind", has once settled in the Peninsula Hotel. He once wanted to drink a cocktail again, but he didn't have the tools to mix bartenders, so he asked the doorman to provide him with a screwdriver. The doorman could have refused such a nonsensical request, but the doorman really found a clean screwdriver for Gable, so Gable rolled up his sleeves to demonstrate to the doorman, "How to make a cocktail with a screwdriver". So the Peninsula Hotel has since added a cocktail called "Screwdriver" to the bar..."
Bao Wenxian was shocked. "Oh! Such a service is really amazing..."
"The doorman who found a screwdriver for Gabor is named Johnny. He is one of the most respected doormans in Peninsula Hotel. It is said that he was the doorman of Peninsula Hotel at the age of twelve until he retired. The service time lasted for more than fifty years, and it also made the "door boy" service the biggest feature of Peninsula Hotel. If you are a guest who often stays here, the doorman can even call out the guest's name and know the guests' preferences..."
Xi Mengmeng was completely shocked. "How do you know so much?"
"Because I like Zhang Ailing's novels, I read the book "Fengcheng Love"; because I read the book "Fengcheng Love", it is impossible not to know the history of the Peninsula Hotel; because I know the history of the Peninsula Hotel, I will naturally become very interested in the present of the Peninsula Hotel..."
Three consecutive "because" and "so" made Xi Mengmeng look admiring, and Li Xueyao's eyes also lit up. There was surprise and search in her expression, which made Fu Zhengyi breathe a sigh of relief. She thought that if the information she found yesterday could not arouse her interest, she would really cry and faint in the toilet...
An inexplicable atmosphere spread on the dining table, and Bao Wenxian, who felt something, woke up. "Yaoyao! Why did you start reading Zhang Ailing's book last year? Didn't your father say that you could only touch her book when you go to college?"
"feudal!"
"How can you say that to your father? Isn't he for your own good? If you have time, read more books and listen to more tapes. You must pass the oral level. No matter whether you go abroad or not, your speaking must be good..."
Bao Wenxian's nagging, Li Xueyao turned her side and lay on the back of the chair and turned her eyes to the Victoria Harbor outside the window. The yachts and sailboats on the blue sea gradually raised her lips and her expression softened.
He had long noticed Fu Zhengyi's restrainedness and caution when facing this little girl, and Xi Mengmeng felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that the atmosphere on the dining table suddenly became a little dull, he came over and asked Li Xueyao. "By the way, can you swim?"
“Uh…not very good at…”
"Where is Sasha?"
"She? She is swimming very well..."
"Are you interested in boarding a yacht and going out to sea?"
Li Xueyao was finally a little stunned, raised her hand and pointed to a small yacht on the sea and asked, "Yes, is it going to sea with such a yacht?"
Following the direction of her finger, Xi Mengmeng laughed when she saw it was a small yacht. "No, no, that one is too small. Generally, only a yacht that is more than sixty feet is considered a superyacht. The one you refer to is a leisure yacht, which can only accommodate three or five people..."
"How could you have any research on yachts?"
Fu Zhengyi's question made Xi Mengmeng turn her face and roll her eyes. "Please! I am the head of the foundation. What I need on weekdays is to study how to deal with rich people. Ms. Xiao Fangfang told me at the beginning that I must be proficient in these things in order to find common topics with rich people who are willing to pay..."
"So how much donation has you received through these personal 'efforts'?"
Xi Mengmeng rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Don't embarrass me so embarrassing! The foundation has been established for a short time, and I haven't had much contact with the rich people here, but I went to the Jockey Club with some people and played golf twice, but the results are really not very good..."
"Ms. Xiao Fangfang's seedling protection fund receives most of the donations every year are Hong Kong stars. I think the Huagang Foundation does not need to take the initiative to seek donations. Do what you have to do first, so you can naturally operate it." Speaking of this, Fu Zhengyi saw that Li Xueyao was listening carefully, and hesitated before continuing. "Also, don't be wronged yourself! Your task is to review and inspect. It's already very hard to do it well. There is no need to deal with those rich people who are ill-hearted and hope to achieve their goals through donations..."
Xi Mengmeng couldn't help but feel bitter. "Please! You can't live without a single meal! The tree planting and sand fixing project will take several years to achieve results. Do you think I'm willing to deal with those fat guys..."
