Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Chapter 33 0033【Overnight Fame】

"Ah!" Du Yongxiao woke up from his sleep and sneezed.

I slept late last night, maybe I caught a cold.

He rubbed his nose, turned over from the wooden bed, felt back pain again, and vowed in his heart that he would replace this broken bed sooner or later.

There was a commotion outside, and Du Yongxiao couldn't hear clearly. Then he remembered that there was something in his ear, and he pulled out the ball of paper with his hands, and the noise suddenly became louder.

Du Yongxiao didn't think too much, walked to the dining table and saw that the breakfast was left on the table, rice porridge, pickles, and boiled eggs. There was a note on the table, mother Li Cuilian went to work in the plastic flower factory, and she also brought Du Dapao together, saying that the factory was busy and recruited short-term workers. Younger sister Du Yongmei went to school, and the hard-boiled eggs were originally reserved for younger brother Du Yongshun, but when he didn't come back, mother Li Cuilian reheated them for Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao shook his head after reading the note, took a towel and toothbrush and went out to wash up. When he went out, he saw that the corridor was full of people, and he couldn't see the end.

Seeing Du Yongxiao, everyone stopped making noise and turned to look at him together.

Du Yongxiao shrugged, "What's the matter? My younger brother is occupying the bathroom again?"

No one answered, still staring at him.

Du Yongxiao bit his toothbrush and squeezed forward: "Let me tell him, don't do this in the future!"

Everyone gets out of the way.

Du Yongxiao stepped forward, but saw that there was no one in front of him, and his brother Du Yongshun hadn't come back yet.

Before Du Yongxiao figured out what was going on, he heard the snake boy yell loudly: "Agent Du is going to the toilet!"

"Everyone stands aside! Brother Xiao wants to use the toilet!"

"Get out of the way, courting death!"

Everyone, stay away.

Du Yongxiao felt that something was wrong, he clasped his hands at Snake Boy, "Come here!"

With a newspaper under his arm, She Ziming nodded and stepped forward: "Brother Xiao, what do you order? Is there no paper, I have it here!"

Du Yongxiao interrupted him: "What's going on?" He pointed to his surroundings.

"It means that everyone respects you." She Ziming said, "Now you have become a celebrity in Shek Kip Mei!"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know?" Snake Ming hurriedly handed the newspaper he was carrying to Du Yongxiao: "Brother Xiao, you are famous, so awesome!"

Du Yongxiao took the newspaper and looked at it: "Small monsters appeared in Tuen Mun, and the night girl complained to the sky!"

"It's not this one, it's this version!" Snake Ming hurriedly pointed to Du Yongxiao.

Only then did Du Yongxiao see clearly the headline of another edition: "New Plain Clothes Du Yongxiao, Megatron Nathan Road"!

What the hell?

Du Yongxiao thought his eyes were dazzled, but when he looked carefully, there were still pictures.

The picture is a bit blurry, but it can be vaguely seen that it is Du Yongxiao.

How can it be?

Du Yongxiao couldn't figure it out, how could such a good thing happen to him?

Zhao Yanxiong was used to peeing, absolutely taking care of everything, taking all the achievements, but now——

Let yourself stand out, what do you mean?

Du Yongxiao speculated that something might have happened inside the police, forcing Yan Xiong to push him out.

Du Yongxiao's mind was spinning quickly, his eyes were flickering.

"Do you think so? Brother Xiao, you are so majestic, Megan Meaton said, now the whole Shek Kip Mei knows about this!" Snake Ziming flattered, "In the future, you have to cover us, we all take good care of you, definitely Can stand out!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao, we support you!"

"A great hero has emerged from Shek Kip Mei!"

Everyone applauded.

Du Yongxiao nodded, and returned the newspaper to She Zaiming. He was about to wash up when he remembered something and turned around and said, "Borrow the newspaper for use!"

...

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Shek Kip Mei Main Street.

"Brother Xiao, go to the side?"

Du Yongxiao did not expect that even the rickshaw pullers in Shek Kip Mei knew him.

After washing up, he ate breakfast, took the "McDonald's Franchise Plan" and the newspaper, and was recognized by the other party as soon as he stopped a rickshaw.

Du Yongxiao lamented that the place of Shek Kip Mei is really small, and word of mouth spreads so fast.

"Excuse me, go to the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel." Du Yongxiao got into the car.

The rickshaw driver happily put the white towel on his shoulders, turned the wheels of the car in a circle, and immediately ran towards the Peninsula Hotel.

In Hong Kong, the earliest high-end hotel opened was the "Hong Kong Hotel" located in the Central District of Hong Kong Island. Later, "Repulse Bay Hotel", "Emperor Hotel", "Sihao Hotel" were added, and they were opened in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of ​​Kowloon. The "Peninsula Hotel".

The elegantly designed Peninsula Hotel in front of the gate was completed and opened at the end of 1928, so it has a history of 40 years. The construction cost alone has cost three million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a lot of money in terms of the price and currency value of 40 years ago.

This new type of hotel is equipped with shops, offices, galleries, large ballrooms, conference halls, lecture rooms and other equipment; among the guest rooms, there are luxurious and spacious suites. These were pioneers in the Eastern Hemisphere at the time.

This peninsula hotel with a history of only 40 years can also be said to be full of experience. In December 1941, the Japanese army attacked the airport and quickly attacked and assessed the Kowloon Peninsula first. On the day of Jesus, stationed at the Peninsula Hotel and set up their headquarters there.

Later, when the Governor of Hong Kong, together with the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, raised the white flag across the sea to surrender, that is, he went to the Peninsula Hotel to meet the Japanese commander Ryuichi Sakai. After the surrender, they were imprisoned in Room 336, and the Peninsula Hotel was renamed "East Asia Hotel".

During this period, Mr. Johnny, the head of McDonald's headquarters who was in charge of grabbing the Hong Kong market, stayed in room 336 of the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel.

The room number is very special, and Johnny's ambition is obvious.

Du Yongxiao got off the rickshaw and wanted to pay the rickshaw driver, but the other party refused to take it.

"Brother Xiao, we are all from Shek Kip Mei, so we need to take care of them more in the future!" the rickshaw driver smiled as he wiped the sweat from his face and neck.

Du Yongxiao saw that the other party insisted on not accepting him, so he thanked him and walked towards the hotel.

The rickshaw driver could see clearly from behind, and said in his heart: "Young boy Xiaoxiao is really extraordinary, how many people in Shek Kip Mei can come to this kind of hotel?"

Hotel entrance——

The lobby manager who was on duty saw Du Yongxiao's extraordinary attire, and rushed forward to greet him, "Sir, should I stay in the hotel, or find someone else?"

"Looking for someone." Du Yongxiao said, "I'm looking for Mr. Johnny from America!"

"Please wait a moment, let me make a call!" The lobby manager ran to the front desk responsibly and dialed the internal number.

Du Yongxiao walked over and leaned on the front desk to watch him make a phone call.

The lobby manager spoke a few words into the phone, then turned to ask Du Yongxiao, "What's your name, Mr. Johnny?"

"My surname is Du, and I want to talk to him about business."

"Okay, please wait a moment!" The lobby manager said a few more words on the phone, knowing that Du Yongxiao did not make an appointment with Johnny and was just an unknown person, so he turned around and smiled politely: "Mr. Johnny is very busy, I It's up to you—"

"What first?" Du Yongxiao showed his detective card.

The lobby manager was stunned: "Have a cup of coffee first!"
