Chapter 119: Hong Kong Island is the Island of the Wealthy_3
Such combinations are quite common...
But upon hearing Xu Ying's explanation for the two of them, she wasn't too surprised...
Personal secretary, after all...
In Hong Kong Island, this international metropolis where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold and wealthy people are everywhere, having a personal secretary isn't anything particularly strange...
Now that she only needs to serve Gu Heng, she actually felt a bit more relaxed...
As for whether to improve the quality of her service...
That's a matter of personal opinion...
Generally speaking, at these world-famous top-notch hotels, as long as you've paid, even a beggar would enjoy almost the same service as a billionaire...
It's just that there might be a slight change in attitude...
A few minutes later, Zheng Jiayi led Gu Heng and Xu Ying to a rather empty parking space...
Two pure black Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked side by side...
Their longer bodies compared to regular cars and the golden Spirit of Ecstasy on the front declared an unmatched prestigious air...
The two men in suits next to Zheng Jiayi opened the car doors very quickly... Your next journey awaits at empire
"Please get in the car, both of you."
Seeing that there were two cars, Gu Heng turned back and asked Xu Ying, "Are you riding with me or in a separate car?"
"I'll ride with you, boss, it's more convenient that way."
"Okay."
Of course, Xu Ying wanted to experience what it was like to ride in a Rolls-Royce Phantom by herself...
But she reluctantly gave the opposite answer.
She was there to help Gu Heng with daily trivial matters, not to enjoy herself; the luxury of experiencing the back seat of a Rolls-Royce was appealing, but she knew all too well it wasn't for her to have.
After saying this, the two got into one car...
As for Zheng Jiayi...
She clearly had no say in such matters.
How the guests chose to ride was their prerogative, to say nothing of sitting in the same car, even if they wanted to ride in the trunk, it was her job to accommodate them.
As for wasting a Rolls-Royce's transportation power, it was obviously not her concern, and she promptly took the passenger seat in the car Gu Heng had chosen...
The car started moving slowly...
Gu Heng said with a smile, "Your hotel is quite generous, sending two Rolls-Royces to pick us up at once."
Hearing this, Zheng Jiayi quickly responded, "For us, our hotel has always pursued a one-car-one-guest pickup philosophy, but normally regular suite guests won't get a Rolls-Royce for their transfer. If they want to enjoy a dedicated Rolls-Royce transfer, an additional charge is required.
Of course, the Presidential Suite and the Executive Suite guests get to enjoy this service for free."
Gu Heng chuckled to himself...
Free my foot...
It's just that the cost was already included in the room rate...
In the ensuing minutes, Zheng Jiayi became a professional tour guide, introducing Hong Kong Island to Gu Heng through the car window...
Gu Heng had thought that Hong Kong Island would be congested...
But in reality, it was the complete opposite of what he had anticipated...
Even though there was a dense flow of cars, it was not only not congested but also quite smooth...
Gu Heng couldn't help but ask...
Zheng Jiayi said with a smile, "Actually, I think the root of traffic congestion is people's uncivil driving and jaywalking. These uncivil behaviors are the real reasons for traffic jams.
I've never been to the Mainland, but I've been to Thailand where two cars on a narrow road wouldn't give way to each other, ending up in a 'standoff' for nearly an hour. I was also stuck for an hour, until it was resolved by Thai traffic police...
But such incidents are almost impossible on Hong Kong Island. Not to mention standoffs, usually, when a car wants to merge into traffic, others often stop to let it quickly join the flow, to avoid affecting pedestrians and other vehicles."
As she spoke, she was filled with pride for Hong Kong Island...
Listening to her, Gu Heng smiled and nodded his head...
It wasn't just Thailand; most cities back home were like that...
In this world, the level of civilization of a city is always tied to money.
The wealthier the city, the more "civilized" it is...
Hong Kong Island, with only a quarter of Shanghai's population, has more than half its total output; this most straightforward data already proves everything...
.....
.....
After almost an hour's drive, they finally arrived at the tallest building on Hong Kong Island...
Which is where the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is located.
International Commerce Centre.
The moment the car stopped at the curb, service staff who had been waiting eagerly opened the car door with great care...
Zheng Jiayi respectfully guided Gu Heng and Xu Ying onto the red carpet at the entrance: "Mr. Gu, the hotel's lobby is on the 9th floor. Would you like to rest there first, or shall we go directly to the reception lobby on the 112th floor?"
The comfort in the back seat of a Rolls-Royce is no less than lying on the big sofa at home...
Despite sitting in the car for an hour, Gu Heng didn't feel tired at all. When he heard Zheng Jiayi's question, he replied, "Let's go straight to the reception lobby for check-in. I'm also quite excited to see what your hotel's Presidential Suite looks like."
"Very well, Mr. Gu, this way, please."
This time, Zheng Jiayi didn't ask for Xu Ying's opinion.
Once they were in the private lift, Zheng Jiayi mentioned that the elevator speed was 12 meters per second, and Xu Ying, as usual, reached out to cover Gu Heng's ears...
Even the Oriental Pearl Tower's elevators, at a speed of 5 meters per second, could be called super-speed, not to mention this one at 12 meters per second...
Zheng Jiayi wasn't surprised to see Xu Ying's actions; she just glanced briefly before focusing straight ahead, her eyes no longer wandering...
