Life 1984

Chapter 81 Teach me how to swim!
Li Yunhai told Lin Zhi not to worry, and then communicated with the front desk clerk, saying that he and Lin Zhi were from the same company, and they were on a business trip to Huacheng. Her certification documents were lost. Could you please accommodate her?
The waiter said no. You can't check in without a business trip certificate issued by your employer. This is a rule.

In the era when there were no ID cards, the company’s certification documents were the best proof of identity.This is equivalent to the fact that in future generations, you will need to have an ID card to check in at a hotel.

Lin Zhi had always lived at home or traveled with her parents. She had never paid attention to this kind of thing. Hearing this, she said, "Li Yunhai, you can rent a single room and we can spend the night together."

Before Li Yunhai could ask, the waiter asked: "Did you bring your marriage certificate? If you have a marriage certificate, you can live together."

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi looked at each other in astonishment and shook their heads at the same time.

The waiter was very enthusiastic and pointed out a clear path for them: "How about you go to the White Swan Hotel to stay? They don't check marriage certificates there. But the house prices there are very expensive. Can your employer reimburse you?"

Li Yunhai heard that having a place to live, regardless of whether it was expensive or not, was better than sleeping in a bathhouse or sleeping on the street, right?

He immediately took Lin Zhi to the White Swan Hotel.

Huacheng is the southern gate of my country and an important foreign trade port.But the hotel's reception capacity is increasingly stretched.Especially during the Canton Fair every year, it is even harder to find a bed.

After the reform and opening up, a number of foreign-related five-star hotels came into being.

The White Swan Hotel is one of the best. It is also the first five-star hotel in the mainland, with a total investment of 1.8 million yuan, 28 floors and 99 meters high. It was also considered outstanding in the Flower City at that time.Towering into the clouds, it is majestic and majestic, like a white gander spreading its wings to fly.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to the hotel lobby.

Guests who come here for the first time will be attracted by the hotel's exquisite decoration and luxurious atmosphere.

Marble floors, gorgeous chandeliers and sculptures highlight the hotel's luxury and taste.

When the hotel was being built, many building materials were not available in China. Equipment, building materials, and furniture were almost all imported. Even a piece of wood was shipped from the Philippines.

The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, and the service is attentive.

Everything is fine here, no marriage certificate is required, and even a business trip certificate from the company is optional.

But the house prices are expensive!

The person at the front desk has a sweet appearance and a clear and pleasant voice: "Hello, sir, welcome."

Li Yunhai asked: "Hello, do you still have a room?"

The front desk smiled slightly and replied: "Yes, double bed room, 688 yuan per night."

The price is 688 per night!Equivalent to a year’s salary of a Chinese citizen!

After all, Li Yunhai is a person who has seen the world and knows that five-star hotels in this era are indeed very expensive, because this is a foreign-related hotel, and the decoration, service and price are all in line with international standards.Those who can stay here are either high-ranking officials or nobles or cross-border businessmen.

Lin Zhi exclaimed softly, and then whispered: "It's so expensive! Li Yunhai, let's go!"

Li Yunhai is rich now and doesn't care about the few hundred yuan. He said, "I'll live here. It's expensive, but it's comfortable."

Lin Zhi covered her mouth with her hands and whispered: "Then it's enough for you to rent a room. Don't waste money! We can squeeze in and it'll be fine."

Li Yunhai felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He checked into the room, took the room card, and took the elevator to the 22nd floor with Lin Zhi.

The carpets in the aisles are thick and soft to the touch.

Li Yunhai opened the door, entered the room with Lin Zhi, and closed the door.

The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, full of modern design elements, equipped with high-quality furniture, soft and comfortable two-meter beds, luxurious bathroom equipment, and color TV sets.

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and said, "It's all my fault for losing the business trip certificate, which cost you so much money!"

Li Yunhai put down his luggage and said with a smile: "Isn't life in this world just about working to make money and enjoying life?"

Lin Zhi chuckled: "You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor! The blanket on the floor is very thick and very comfortable!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "You should sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor!"

Lin Zhi walked to the big bed, lay down on it, and said with a smile: "Li Yunhai, this bed is very big, let's sleep half of it each!"

She turned her face sideways and looked at Li Yunhai with a smile on her face.

Li Yunhai's heart was pounding, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said: "Let's go down to eat first, and then go shopping! The night market in Huacheng is more lively than in Xizhou."

Lin Zhi rolled on the bed and smiled coquettishly: "Li Yunhai, this bed is too soft. I can't get up. Please pull me." Li Yunhai laughed dumbly and stretched out his hand to hold her warm and jade-like breasts. tiny hand.

Lin Zhi took advantage of the situation and sat up, bouncing her butt on the bed, and said, "This Simmons is better than mine, soft and elastic."

She bounced a few times, got out of bed, walked to the window, looked at the world outside the glass window, turned around and said with a smile: "Li Yunhai, come here."

"what happened?"

"This is the Pearl River, right? It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, below is the Pearl River."

Occasionally there are seagulls flying around on the river, and cruise ships pass by continuously, causing ripples on the river.The open river view instantly relaxes one's mood.

Lin Zhi suddenly said: "It's great to have money!"

She turned around, took Li Yunhai's hand, and said with a pretty smile: "Take me to eat! I'm so hungry! I feel like I can eat a pig!"

The two came to the Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant on the third floor of the hotel.

The decoration of this restaurant is antique and has a traditional Chinese charm. In the middle of the lobby is a garden-style pavilion and patio-style decoration, with a rockery in the middle and many koi carps swimming in the pond, adding a lively atmosphere to the restaurant.

Surrounding the pool is a row of dining tables.

Lin Zhi looked at the prices of the dishes, stuck out her tongue slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, eating in such an expensive hotel, naturally everything is more expensive than outside. A bowl of noodles only costs 2 cents in Xizhou. It costs 4 yuan here. Other things are more expensive. Can we have a bowl of noodles each?"

Li Yunhai leaned over, took a look at the price list, and said, "Just order whatever you want! The price of 688 has been paid out, are you still worried that you can't afford a meal that costs tens of dollars a meal?"

Lin Zhi called the waiter and ordered two bowls of wonton noodles.

She said that she had long heard that there were many snacks in Huacheng, so I wanted to save my belly and eat it when I went to the night market!
The two ate noodles and walked around the hotel. They looked at the "Hometown Water" landscaping in the atrium and saw the gym and swimming pool in the back.

Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai if he could swim?
Li Yunhai said of course he would!I grew up bathing in the river. I could swim back and forth several times in the reservoir in my hometown.

Lin Zhi became interested: "Can you teach me? I've always wanted to learn to swim, but I just didn't have the chance! Okay?"

Li Yunhai said okay, then should we go swimming first?Or go shopping first?

Lin Zhi saw many people in the swimming pool, including foreigners, and said: "Let's go shopping first, buy swimsuits outside, and then swim when we come back! The swimsuits sold in this hotel must be very expensive!"

Li Yunhai said yes.

The two walked out of the hotel door and saw a Rolls-Royce driving over. A group of people gathered around it, including reporters.

Lin Zhi asked curiously: "Who is here? What a grand ceremony!"

The doorman opened the rear door of the Rolls-Royce.

First, a delicate and delicate woman wearing black glass stockings and black high-heeled leather shoes stepped out.

This is a beautiful woman covered in jewels, about 40 years old.She is accompanied by a teenage girl who is even prettier than Barbie.

A group of people surrounded them and walked past Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai heard the receptionist say to the beautiful woman: "Mrs. Chen, the room is booked in the presidential suite on the 28th floor."

Mrs. Chen snorted slightly.

She walked forward dignifiedly and gracefully, with her waist straight and her head not turning to the side.

Lin Zhi asked: "Li Yunhai, do you know her? Who is this?"

Li Yunhai shook his head and said he didn't know who it was. It was most likely the wife of a wealthy man named Chen in Xiangjiang.

Lin Zhi stopped paying attention to others and happily went shopping with Li Yunhai. She smiled and said, "I wonder where I can buy swimsuits?"

"Last time I visited the Lighting Night Market, I saw something for sale there."

"Then let's go quickly!"
